Chapter 1124 Orleans
Linda walked out of the boat, still wearing the baggy linen dress, but her face had been washed, revealing a thin face.
"Tell me, what do you want to do to see me?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"I want to learn some skills, machete, musket, anything that can kill people, I want to learn it, I want to kill the horse bandits!" Linda said with clenched fists.
The voice is clear, like a nightingale.
"come over."
Zhang Tuohai waved.
Seeing this, Linda instinctively took a step back, but when she saw Zhang Tuohai's smiling face, she still bravely walked over.
Zhang Tuohai grabbed Linda's arm and pinched it. It was just skin and bones, with not much meat.
Linda instinctively wanted to pull her hand out, but Zhang Tuohai's hand was like a pair of pliers, pinching her arm tightly, making it impossible for her to pull her hand out.
"You are too weak and your foundation is too poor. Practicing will only make you die faster."
Zhang Tuohai let go of Linda's hand and said to the cook, "Let her eat one pound of meat every day. Don't stop until she finishes it. Increase it to two pounds after a week, and three pounds after a month. After a month, I will check her physical condition and decide whether to teach her or not."
Zhang Tuohai turned his head and glanced at Linda: "This is a test for you. If you can't pass it, then you will be a kitchen helper for the rest of your life."
"Don't look down on me. It's just eating meat. I will definitely pass it!" Linda said angrily.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
Zhang Tuohai opened the lobster's shell and ate the lobster meat in big mouthfuls.
Linda returned to the kitchen angrily and started to eat the ham.
The cook snatched the ham away.
"Eating like this, do you want your teeth anymore?"
The chef cut off some pieces of meat, threw them into the pot and started cooking, adding some vegetables, salt and spices.
The meat was cooked until soft, then taken out and mixed with vegetables and a large bowl of thick soup.
"Eat it. Eating more meat will give you more strength."
Linda began to eat with big mouthfuls, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes as she ate.
Zhang Tuohai ate up the lobster and asked the other pirates to take the plate away.
He didn't care whether Linda could lay a good foundation or not. Whether she could succeed or not was fine, the result would be the same anyway.
If it works, it will be one more helper to kill the horse bandits. If it fails, it will be one more helper in the kitchen. There are so many supplies on the ship, how can they be short of one more mouth to feed?
Anyway, Zhang Tuohai doesn't care.
At this time, the sun rose and the sunlight was very dazzling. Zhang Tuohai checked the state of the blue crystal pyramid. The energy inside was still the same as last night, just a little bit.
"It seems that the sun really cannot charge energy. We can only wait until night." After learning the test results, Zhang Tuohai felt a little regretful.
This meant that he could only rely on moonlight to absorb energy, greatly delaying the plan to activate the ship.
Zhang Tuohai continued to drive the boat along the coast, and Li Mo discovered two more player villages along the way.
However, one of the two villages was located on a cliff with no place to land, and the other had a stone wall more than two meters high. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Tuohai decided that a strong attack would not be worth the cost, so he gave up attacking the two villages.
At noon, Zhang Tuohai vaguely saw the outline of a city.
He remembered that the city was called Orleans on the nautical chart, and there was only a chicken drawn on the map.
Zhang Tuohai called the first mate and asked, "What specialties ? Why is there only a chicken on the map?"
"That's right," the first mate said quickly, "Orleans has two specialties. One is the hens. The eggs laid by the hens here are big and round, two times bigger than the eggs in other places."
"The second specialty is roast chicken. The roast chicken of Orleans, especially the roast chicken legs, is the best in the world. Every time the previous captain passed by here, he would buy some to try. I ate it once, and it tasted really good."
"But I think the best thing about Orleans is the freshly pressed beer, which is very hoppy and cheap."
The first mate licked his lips and said.
"Roasted chicken?" Zhang Tuohai perked up when he heard that. He had only eaten grilled fish on the boat, and the boiled lobster this morning was a change of pace. When he heard about the roasted chicken, his stomach started to growl involuntarily.
"That sounds good. Let's do this. We will stop in Orleans for one night. You can buy a few hens and raise them on the boat. You will have eggs to eat every day. Also, anyone who wants to drink can go too. There will be enough people on the boat, but I suggest you go back to the boat to drink, because I don't know when I might set sail. If you don't get on board in time, don't blame me for abandoning you."
Zhang Tuohai took out a handful of dinars and threw them to the first mate, asking him to buy a hen.
"Understood. I'll make the arrangements." The first mate nodded in response.
The ship slowly approached Orleans. As it got closer to the port, there were more and more ships. The first mate changed the ship's license plate to the Blue Frog to avoid being recognized as a pirate ship.
Zhang Tuohai took a look at the ship license plate and felt too tired to complain. He planned to change the name of the ship license plate to a more majestic one in the future. The Blue Frog was too embarrassing to say it to others. It was not domineering at all.
The White Bird slowly stopped at the dock, like an ordinary cargo ship. The first mate came down with a few crew members, found a few cargo merchants, and discussed the prices of the goods in a serious manner, pretending to be serious businessmen.
Zhang Tuohai changed into more decent clothes, got off the boat and entered Orleans.
Like most port cities, the city of Orleans was built around the port, and the port area is the most central, prosperous and chaotic place.
Merchants from all over the place came and went, and goods from all over the world were concentrated in a few bustling markets.
These things attracted a large number of customers, but also attracted gangsters and beggars.
In short, this area is very chaotic.
Zhang Tuohai had a rapier on his waist and deliberately exposed the handle of his gun, so that thieves and beggars would stay away from him.
Zhang Tuohai was looking for a roast chicken shop along the streets and alleys.
After walking for half a day, Zhang Tuohai discovered a problem, that is, most of the roast chicken restaurants with better decoration were closed.
If it happens to just one or two companies, it can be considered a coincidence, but if it happens to three or four companies in a row, there is a problem.
Zhang Tuohai asked a few passers-by and found out that today was the day when the Governor of Orleans' daughter was getting married. All the famous roast chicken chefs in the city were called to the Governor's Mansion to help in the kitchen, so all the roast chicken shops were closed today.
Hearing this, Zhang Tuohai became unhappy. Why can't I eat roast chicken after your daughter gets married?
Is this fair?
Is there still law here?
no!
Since you can’t buy roast chicken outside, don’t blame me for going to the Governor’s Mansion to eat it!
Zhang Tuohai straightened his clothes and strode towards the Governor's Mansion.
He wants to go to the Governor's Mansion to eat and drink for free.
