Rui Mengmeng rode her bicycle according to Tom's instructions and visited several fish shops on Island No. 59. She couldn't find any fish that interested Tom. It was either not fresh or had been eaten too many times.
"Let's go to 58GR. Didn't Old Bob have a bad friend who opened a seafood shop there?" Zhang Da also suggested, "By the way, you can also go to the beach and see if you want to buy some of their freshly caught fish." of fish.”
Tom thought of the six old men fishing, and remembered that fishing with their fishing rods was quite fun, and nodded in agreement.
As for being beaten by a fish, Tom selectively forgot about it.
Artoria remembered that the grilled fish cooked by Tom on the spot that day tasted great, and she had no objection to going there again.
It was the same small bay as last time. Rui Mengmeng stopped the car steadily.
Sure enough, the six old men were all there, and Zhang Da also jumped out of the car: "Mengmeng, pinch the bell twice."
"okay."
The clear sound of jingling bells attracted the attention of the old men. Old Bob turned his head impatiently, his face quickly turned cloudy and clear: "Isn't this little brother Tatsuya!"
"It's Brother Tatsuya, you are finally willing to come here!" The other five old men also looked happy and set up their fishing rods to welcome him.
"That's so polite..." Zhang Da was also a little flattered. When did I become so popular among the gentlemen? I was a bit embarrassed, wondering whether I should give up my hand or shake hands with them.
Then six old men passed by him and surrounded Tom. Tom looked left and right, seeing that these old men were not simple.
"Come on, come on, we have a good harvest today, come and take a look, pick whatever you like!" As they spoke, the six old men carried Tom over and placed him next to the bucket.
Zhang Da was also awkward on the spot. Why did you call me my name if you didn't welcome me?
Arturia had already followed him, because she understood that she could make a living by following Tom.
Rui Mengmeng poked Zhang Daye: "Boss, they don't seem to be here to greet you."
"Ah, I understand, Mengmeng." Zhang Da also felt that his heart was stabbed by the sharp knife of Nuoxing.
On the other side, Tom was already lighting a fire. Even though he had just eaten a meal, how could the cat resist the temptation of fish?
A few old men helped with a few fish before they could talk to Zhang Daye: "Brother, do you have anything else to ask?"
Zhang Da also replied: "Nothing special. I just went out to buy today. Tom wants to find some fresh fish or rare and special fish. I'm just passing by nearby. Come and say hello."
"Isn't the fresh fish ready-made? My bucket was given to Tom."
"I'll take those too, you're welcome."
The old men were very generous, but Zhang Da also declined: "You have worked hard for so long, what will you do if I take it away?"
"We don't fish for food. Even if we bring it back, we'll probably give it to the neighbors." Old Bob smiled as he watched Tom turn over the fish. "And it's none of your business what we give to Tom!"
"That's right." Others agreed.
Rui Mengmeng whispered: "Boss, you seem to be disliked."
"Ah, I understand, Mengmeng." Zhang Da also wanted to deduct her salary. Why didn't he know she was so good at last-hitting while watching the anime?
There were ten fish on the small fire, and nine people sat in a row to watch Tom's performance.
The ten fish were of different sizes, types and thicknesses, but Tom could control the heat one by one.
He often flashes from one end to the other to turn the fish over. Sometimes he takes out a knife to mark the fish and sprinkles it with condiments.
Smelling the slowly spreading fragrance, Bob choked and asked, "By the way, before I have time to ask, is this a new employee?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Yes, business has been good recently, isn't it?"
The bad friends seized the opportunity to criticize: "Look at how good people are at doing business. Bob, you are so right to retire. You have wasted such a good location!"
"You bastards are no better than me!"
None of these people were convinced by the quarrel. The owner of the seafood shop turned around and said: "Brother just said that he wanted a special fish. You can go to my store and have a look. I just got an elephant tuna last night." Fish, that’s a specialty fish from the South China Sea, not common here.”
After taking the time to advertise his store, he turned around and continued bickering without waiting for Zhang Daye to reply.
Zhang Tatsuya also knows that the elephant tuna has a trunk like an elephant. The Straw Hats once got it, and it was eaten by Luffy until no bones were left. In reality, it is an ornamental fish, but it seems to be delicious here.
Several people kept making noises until Tom divided the fish among them and then they calmed down and enjoyed the food.
"It's such a good grilled fish, but it's a pity there's no wine." The restaurant owner sighed after taking two bites of the fish.
Bob chuckled, took out a small portable flask from his pocket, happily opened the lid and took a sip. The slurping look made several other people want to hit him.
"Old guy, good things need to be shared!"
"Yeah, what's the point of eating alone!"
Bob started to grasp it: "Oh, you guys were not like this when you hurt me just now. Now you know how to drink."
The restaurant owner, who is the most particular about food and drink, knew the wine Bob had in his hand was good wine as soon as he smelled it. He said nice things with a playful smile and wanted to take a sip of wine.
The others also followed suit, and a few old children made a fuss.
Zhang Daye and the others just focused on eating, especially Artoria who looked the most elegant and the fastest.
Tom knew Artoria's appetite, so he specially gave her the largest piece. Even so, she had eaten half of it in small bites.
After several people finished eating the grilled fish and wiped their mouths, Zhang Da also said goodbye: "Then let's leave first and go to the store to see the elephant tuna."
At the request of several uncles, Tom picked some fish he liked and put them in the car to take away.
Zhang Da also thanked him, seeing that he was not polite, but several of the uncles felt that they had actually earned it.
After putting things away, Tom squatted back in the basket of the car. Zhang Da also jumped into the car from one side, and Artoria jumped out of the car from the other side. It was as smooth as a displacement reaction equation.
? ? ? Do you dislike me?
Zhang Da also asked confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Artoria looked at the sea in the distance: "A ship is coming."
"Really, there's a dark shadow getting bigger and bigger!" Rui Mengmeng saw the ship Arturia was talking about.
Zhang Daye put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance. Tom stood on Zhang Daye's head, assuming the same posture and looking into the distance.
"I can't tell what kind of ship it is. I might need a telescope."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of binoculars was handed down from above. Zhang Da also took it and raised it to his eyes: "Thank you."
After observing for a few seconds, Zhang Da also put down the telescope and looked up. Just as Tom was looking down, their eyes met.
"When did you go up?"
Tom spread his hands, got off Zhang Daye's head and sat on his shoulders.
Zhang Da also felt that he might want to stand high and see far.
But now is not the time to care about this. Zhang Daye said: "The white flag, I can't see what logo is painted on it, and the sail has 'Brack Chamber of Commerce' written on it. Is this what a merchant ship looks like?"
