I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King

Chapter 38 Unique ‘treasure’

Sager is not a good man, never has been.

As we all know, it is difficult for good people to survive in this sea. Even if they have a temporary reputation, they will easily be dragged down to death by this reputation in the end.

From the navy to the pirates. It has never been defined by good guys or bad guys.

 Besides, Sage is a man who dreams of becoming a big landowner, and he is not born to be such a good person.

 “Don’t confuse things here, tell me the whereabouts of the king while I can still speak, otherwise.”

Sage took out his flintlock and smiled evilly: "Although I'm not interested in poor people, it doesn't mean you can deceive me casually. Do you understand?"

Marika didn't look at the black hole of the gun pointed at her at all. She glanced at the people around her who were already showing signs of indignation, and said with a smile: "Although we don't have gold, silver and jewelry, in terms of treasure, we are not without it."

She turned around and walked back, and the crowd gathered around her moved apart automatically, revealing what was on the shoal that had not yet been submerged by the sea water.

It was a pile of things made of stones and shells. The water tank made of stones was falling violently in the storm, causing the water surface to slosh violently.

Around the stone jar, there is a huge bone of unknown origin, which is used as a shelter from the rain. Under the bone, there is a fire with natural shells on top, like a pot.

“Although the Shallow Sand Kingdom is marked on the sea map, it is a barren place. We have nothing but sand. The people here rely on sand to live.”

“But there is not enough space and there is no safe place to live, so we build settlements at low tide. But once the tide rises, we have to desperately evacuate.”

She walked into the skeleton, took out two flints, threw them into the fire, and ignited them.

In that fire, there seemed to be some garbage. Sage could often see it on the shoal in the past. It was garbage left by nearby merchant ships and seemed to have been collected.

Marika picked up the shell cauldron, stretched it out of the skeleton frame, filled it with rainwater, and put it back on the fire. While waiting for the water to boil, she took out a shell knife and looked at everyone.

 “Mr. Marika!”

 A civilian pulled the net over and said, "This is today's catch!"

Several other fishermen also dragged up the nets. The nets were filled with fish, shrimps, shells and other seafood, which made Sage twitch at the corner of his eyes.

  He has also worked in the fishing industry. Although fishing and fishing are not separate industries, they are different after all.

 Fishing means catching big fish, but fishing means catching everything.

　　After Sage failed on his way to become the King of Fishing, he turned around and wanted to be the King of Fishing. He failed, but he also knew some experience.

 At high tide and low tide, of course you will bring these seafood with you, but if you can use the net to fish out a lot during the tide, it has nothing to do with technology, it is purely luck.

 In terms of technology, Sage has reached the state of excellence!

 In terms of luck, he has also reached a state of transformation and has transformed into a state of bad luck.

 Throw a net and you won’t be able to catch even the edible shells, not to mention fish!

 Sage is well aware of the value of these numerous nets.

“But even in a place like this, we have a unique way of survival.”

Marika took out a knife made of shells and opened a net. Almost at speed, the shell knife turned into an afterimage and peeled off the shells of shrimps and crabs.

While peeling, she turned like a flower, her hands stretched out of the bone frame, and used the rain from the storm to quickly wash the meat, and threw it into the shell cauldron. Part of the shell was thrown into the fire, and part of it was thrown into the fire and burned.

"The creatures in the sea have their own salinity, so there is no need to deliberately add salt. Shellfish are very delicious and do not require any seasoning. They can be cooked into a pot of fresh soup. The yellow in shrimps and crabs can be used in an appropriate amount to increase the freshness, while fish meat The tenderness itself can also add flavor to it, and pounding the fish bones can also add nutrients. "

She picked up a fish, swiped her shell knife upwards, and scraped off the scales. Then she placed it in front of a stone, smashed the fish to pieces with another stone, and danced her hands up and down in the rotten fish. , taking the fish meat and fish bones into one ball after another, forming a parabola, and accurately throwing them into the shell cauldron.

 The water that was already boiling boiled a little more as the fish **** fell.

She moved out a shell that was equal to the shell cauldron, covered it, and smiled at everyone: "Please wait for a while." About ten minutes later, white smoke came out from the cracks of the shells, exuding a seductive smell. The aroma of human beings made the throats of people around them tremble wildly, and some even drooled.

Even Lily, who had just finished eating, was sniffing her nose and staring at the shell pot.

　　Until Marika opened the lid of the shell, the water in the large pot completely turned milky white. Marika took out a small bowl of shells, scooped a bowl into the pot, and handed it to Sag.

“This is our ‘treasure’, Jewel Crown Soup, please taste it.”

The soup in this small bowl of shells is white, like milk, and contrasts with the small bowl of colorful shells. The fish **** inside are like embellished jewelry, and the shells, shrimp and crab shells are the structure of the crown. Overall, When it looks up, it really looks like a beautiful 'crown'.

Sarge subconsciously took it, took a sip, raised his brows, and subconsciously shouted: "Well! Xuan!"

It tastes really good, so delicious that his eyebrows almost fell off.

 “Delicious!”

Lily, who took the second bowl, just took a sip, her eyes almost gleaming. She didn't care if she had chopsticks or not, she drank the soup in the shell directly, and even the shells were bitten into pieces by her.

"Very warm!" Lily's eyes changed completely when she looked at Marika, and she solemnly said: "You are amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Marika smiled and bowed, and then said to the others: "Everyone, please wait in line. There is enough soup in the pot."

As soon as the words fell, people who couldn't wait took out their own small bowls of shells, quickly lined up, and filled the bowls one by one. After just one sip, they showed happy and satisfied expressions.

Even though this skeleton is not big enough to cover so many people, and some people are still in the wind and rain, the expression on his face when he drinks the soup makes people subconsciously feel that he should be very warm.

With a soft smile, Malika said: "On rainy days, drinking a bowl of warm soup can soothe our cold bodies. Captain, please let your men drink a bowl too."

Sarge narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Marika for a while, and then waved to Ajin.

Akin immediately understood and joined the queue with a dozen pirates.

They are also greedy for this fragrance.

It’s just that the captain hasn’t spoken yet, and the captain is still watching, so they don’t dare to move.

"Very powerful ah."

Sage said calmly: "How could a person like you be in such a miserable place?"

This good cooking skill can be said to be a miracle. There is no seasoning at all, but with the things from the sea and the water brought by the storm, delicious soups are actually made.

Sage once wanted to be the king of chefs. But this time it was not bad luck. It was simply because he was not good at cooking. He could do simple things, but like this, relying on simple conditions to make delicious food, He can't.

 There is so much food in the sea, and it is not a random combination. Once the proportion of one aspect is too much, the whole taste will change. Don't say it is delicious, or the whole thing will stink.

 Such a person, coupled with the admiration and love of these common people, is indeed a king.

 Marika glanced at the people in the queue and spoke slowly: "We are abandoned people. We have nowhere to go. We can only be trapped here, waiting for our fate to come."

 “Mr. Marika!”

A commoner who was drinking soup suddenly shouted. The shell in his hand subconsciously dropped and he stared blankly at the north side of the beach, where a group of figures appeared and were approaching.

"coming!"

 Marika clenched the shell knife in her hand, her face became heavy, "Destiny."
