Su Xiao put her shirt on her shoulders, took out the map, confirmed the direction and left the open space.
He is going to eat, not just to eat, but also to find someone, a master hidden in the Capital of Seven Waters. Of course, he has to decide for himself whether this master is true or false.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao came to the east side of the Seven Waters Capital. In a wide waterway, a small boat was docked on the shore.
This ship is not used for going to sea, but a small restaurant built on the ship.
There is a low dining table in the boat shed, which can seat up to three people. At one end of the dining table are cooking utensils, and pots and pans are neatly placed.
There were no guests on the boat. There was a skinny old man sleeping soundly at the head of the bed, drooling from his mouth. The old man was only one meter tall at most, and his limbs were like poles. , his face is full of wrinkles, and there are two age spots, his beard and hair are all white, and there are only a few sparse teeth.
The old man slept soundly, holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, seemingly unsuspecting. But for some reason, Su Xiao didn't dare to come forward.
This old man is like an old lion. Although he is old, he still retains his power.
Su Xiao walked onto the boat and just sat at the dining table without waking up the old man.
About ten minutes later, the skinny old man seemed to have trouble breathing, and he choked on his saliva and woke up.
The old man opened his eyes drowsily and subconsciously raised the bottle to drink, but unfortunately the wine was empty.
"Huh?" The old man looked at Lidya Su sleepily.
"We won't accept guests at noon. Come back in the evening."
The old man seemed to have no interest in cooking, so he closed his eyes and wanted to continue sleeping.
"I heard that there is a chef here with superb cooking skills and he likes drinking. I specially brought a bottle of good wine to pay for the meal."
Su Xiao took out a bottle The wine had three shining golden characters written on it: "Wuliangye"!
The old man shook his head after seeing the wine in Su Xiao's hand. He had never seen this kind of wine, but he had heard of the good wine in the world even if he had never drank it.
"Come back in the evening..."
The old man stopped mid-sentence. Su Xiao had already opened the bottle of Wuliangye in his hand, and the unique mellow aroma of liquor wafted out.
Compared with the wine in Pirate World, the brewing method of liquor is more unique and refined, so the aroma is more mellow and attractive.
"What kind of wine is this?"
The old man swallowed, stood up with some difficulty, and walked towards Su Xiao shakily on crutches.
Seeing the old man's pace, Su Xiao felt a little ashamed. The old man hadn't even taken a few steps, and his two dry and numb legs seemed to be broken at any time.
"Give me a taste, and I'll cook the food for you in a moment."
Su Xiao handed over the Wuliangye, and the old man took it with trembling hands, raised his head and took a big sip.
When the white wine entered his throat, the old man's face immediately turned red and his eyes widened.
"Gulu."
The old man swallowed a large mouthful of white wine and let out a long belch.
"What a strong wine."
The old man's body was shaking a little. He drank at least half a bottle of white wine in one sip.
The old man fell to the ground with a thud, snoring evenly, but the mouth of the wine bottle miraculously turned upwards. Su Xiao was speechless for a while, it was because he was drunk.
He ignored the old man and looked at the two photos in the boat shed. The two photos were a sea surface and a group photo of two people.
In the group photo, a man with an afro is strangling the neck of a yellow-haired boy. The yellow-haired boy is struggling and has scratches on his face. It seems that he has just experienced a battle.
In this group photo, the man with the afro is the old man on the ship, and the yellow-haired boy is named Tetsuo, and he is a pirate.
Red-footed Tetsuo once struggled in the Grand Line for a year, and then left the Grand Line for unknown reasons and retreated unscathed. His strength was ominous, but he was definitely not weak.
In the original work, Sanji once visited this dining boat. In the old man's words, Tetsuo, who was once a pirate, was just a brat.
According to Su Xiao's estimation, the old man's strength when he was young may not be lower than that of a pirate with a billion-level Bailey bounty, or even stronger. The reason is that picture of the sea.
If you guessed it correctly, the sea in the photo is ‘allblue’, the sea of dreams of all chefs!
Of course, this is just Su Xiao's guess. If the guess is correct, the old man's identity is definitely not simple, and it is not impossible to master the two-color domineering force.
After waiting for about an hour, the old man woke up leisurely.
"As people get older, they can no longer drink."
The old man shook his head. Apart from the smell of alcohol in his mouth, there was no other abnormality. His physique seemed weak, but he was actually not weak. .
The old man walked to the stove tremblingly, picked up the kitchen knife with trembling hands and started cooking.
Su Xiao is not very interested in cooking. As long as the food he makes is not unpalatable, he is not going to delve into cooking skills.
A few minutes later, a steaming plate of seafood noodles was placed in front of Lidya Su.
"I won't drink your wine in vain, try it."
The old man turned back to the bow of the boat tremblingly, took Wuliangye and drank it in small sips with an expression of enjoyment. Planting wine from the earth will soon conquer this drunkard.
Su Xiao was also a little hungry. He put the seafood in his mouth and froze after three seconds.
He had always thought that 'delicious' was an exaggeration, but this seafood noodles was really delicious. It was the most delicious food he had ever tasted.
"Hahaha, my cooking skills are pretty good, right? Do you still have this kind of wine?"
Su Xiao shook her head. There should be no rush in negotiating with this old man.
"It's a pity." The old man stopped talking. Su Xiao quickly finished the seafood noodles and stood up to leave without finishing.
"Kid, the reason you came here is not just for the food."
Su Xiao paused and looked sideways at the old man.
"I am a swordsman."
Su Xiao left these unclear words and turned to leave.
The old man licked the slightly spicy wine on his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.
“Little devil!”
The old man shouted, and Su Xiao turned around in confusion.
"You must pay attention to the key points when practicing physical skills, and you must not be impatient. You are too anxious and your ankle may be injured. Come to my place in the evening and I will make you a medicinal meal."
Su Xiao was secretly happy, but her face remained calm.
"Thank you for the advice."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of Wuliangye and placed it on the side of the ship.
“Didn’t you just say it was gone?” The old man looked at Lidya Su thoughtfully.
The old man grinned.
"This kind of wine is very rare. I get it occasionally, only a few bottles."
The old man did not doubt that he was there, and he had never seen this kind of wine.
"Come here often."
"Yes."
Su Xiao turned and left. He was now sure that this old man was not simple.
Su Xiao practiced shaving all afternoon. After receiving the old man's advice, he had to take a break after practicing for two hours every time.
At five-thirty in the evening, Su Xiao came to the old man's boat dinner as invited.
The old man was cooking a pot of soup. When he saw Su Xiao coming, the old man took out a large bowl of soup.
"Try it."
A large bowl of thick soup was placed in front of Su Xiao. He vaguely saw mushrooms and several medicinal materials in the soup.
I picked up the thick soup and took a sip. The taste was not very good, slightly bitter, but not poisonous.
After finishing the soup in a few mouthfuls, Su Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, the prompt from Samsara Paradise came out.
[When a hunter drinks the 'Secret Medicinal Meal', his health will permanently increase by 10 points, and his physical attributes will increase slightly. Since it is less than 1 point, it cannot be displayed in personal information. This item can only be used for the first time to increase health. quality. 】
A warmth appeared in her stomach, and Su Xiao felt a sense of relief all over her body, because her sore ankles from practicing 'shaving' were relieved.
"My medicinal cuisine is pretty good, right? Even Golden Lion and Roger would come to my restaurant to eat for the purpose of cooking."
The old man seems to have seen through Su Xiao. purpose.
"I like your wine very much. If you come to my place every night, I will help you make herbal dishes in return for a bottle of that wine."
Su Xiao did not If he cares about being seen through, it is better to choose mutual help and mutual benefit instead of hypocritically showing kindness. At noon, his attitude was to give him benefits and provide him with good wine. With a charm attribute of 5 points, no plot character would take the initiative to help him. Su Xiao The greatest advantage is self-awareness.
Took out a bottle of 'Maotai' and handed it to the old man. Even now, he doesn't know the old man's name, so he simply calls the old man the medicinal diet old man.
The other party’s name is the same asHe is not interested in the origin, as long as he knows that the other party was once very strong and can cook medicinal food.
"Hiccup~, it tastes good. Although it is different from the wine at noon, it has its own characteristics."
The old man with medicated food took a sip of Maotai and was very satisfied. Su Xiao was very satisfied. His fatigue from practicing for a day was completely gone after drinking the medicinal food.
There are still three days before the Straw Hat Pirates land on the island. Su Xiao wants to reap the benefits as soon as possible. At least he will have a preliminary grasp of 'shaving'. With the help of the old man of medicinal diet, this is not too difficult.
