[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook
Chapter 46 Chapter 46
【One hundred and thirty-five】
This restaurant is really on the sea. It is a boat shaped like a fish, and the name of the restaurant marked is Bharati.
Andrea still found it quite novel - it was not her first time to this sea area, but it was indeed her first time to see this sea restaurant.
And looking at the appearance of the restaurant, it can be seen that it must have just opened not long ago.
When Andrea took the children in, she found that there were not many people in the restaurant, and those who came out were still middle-aged people wearing tall chef hats and a prosthetic right foot.
After Andrea's eyes lingered on the other person's braided beard for a few seconds, she asked with a smile: "Are you the chef? Is the restaurant still open?"
The chef looked a little aggressive, but his attitude was good. He pulled out the dining table and chairs near him and replied: "It's still open. I'm Chef Zhepu. What do you want to order?"
Although the chef looks like a retired pirate...well, maybe he really is a pirate. After all, who says a chef can't be a pirate? However, the chef Zep is different from his appearance. There are hints of irritability in his words and deeds, but his attitude towards Andrea can be said to be restrained and gentle.
After asking about the menu, Andrea ordered, and then waited patiently for the meal.
Luo looked at the chef who was walking away, and quietly asked Andrea: "Teacher Leah, he looks like a pirate..."
"It's certainly not a simple person to be able to open a restaurant in a place like this. It's very possible that he was a pirate before." Andrea smiled, "But he is a chef now, so we can just treat him as a chef. ”
Luo nodded seriously, then raised his hand to block Luffy's fist, which was stretched out his arm due to excessive excitement, and showed a habitual expression of disgust.
In fact, Luo's guess was not wrong. This Chef Zep is also a former pirate who once braved the Grand Line and escaped unscathed. He once led the Chef Pirates.
You can tell from the name of this pirate group that he is the chef from beginning to end, so the food in this restaurant naturally tastes first-class.
It is a unique restaurant in this sea area. It tastes good and naturally attracts many people. Although this restaurant on the sea has just opened, after Andrea and her family took their seats, other customers came one after another.
Seeing that they are wearing different identities, this also leads to... there will be conflicts.
Where there is sea, there will naturally be pirates, and where there are pirates, there will be commotion.
The new pirates who entered the restaurant seemed to be here to slaughter the fattened sheep and eat the King's meal, so they started to find fault with the food.
Originally, if the chef came over, these pirates would probably be frightened and intimidated by Zhepu's appearance, but the person serving the dishes was a blond boy who looked about ten years old, so they He started to become arrogant, even grabbing the child's collar and punching him down.
Andrea frowned, put down the knife and fork in her hand, sighed after swallowing what was in her mouth, stood up, used her chair as a weapon to block the opponent's fist, and killed the opponent with a few casual moves. He threw it to the ground and stopped him: "Stop, no one taught you to pay attention to etiquette when eating?"
The pirate who was originally shocked by her action immediately became angry, pointed at her table and said: "You should take care of your children first when they eat like that!"
"..." Andrea was strangely silent for a moment, and made her final stubborn rebuttal with a calm face, "Eating like this means they like food, which is the best compliment to the chef. And they don't waste food."
Although she said this, she felt a little helpless when she looked at the children who were eating very badly. In fact, it was fine alone, but when the children were together, even if there was enough food, everyone still liked to grab it to eat. This was probably A fun thing for kids...except for Luffy, who has the eating aspect himself.
Andrea also spoke up, her words threatening: "Children! You make me lose face!"
Several competing heads all raised their heads. Luffy slowed down a moment, but Luo on the side slapped him on the head to wake him up. He lowered his hands and kept holding the half-eaten piece of meat in his mouth. He looked at her seriously.
Andrea felt even more helpless - it was really difficult to take care of too many children.
【One hundred and thirty-six】
It was actually pretty easy to handle after that.
Andrea didn't feel that such a small occasion was worth drawing her sword, and the pirates who were looking for trouble were quickly dealt with and thrown out by a few children, and then they obediently returned to their seats to continue eating.
Andrea even felt that the first time they cooperated so smoothly and had a tacit understanding, she just wanted to get it done quickly and then come back and continue eating.
There were not many people in the restaurant. Although the movement here was loud, it was handled quickly and did not cause many waves.
However, chef Zhepu came out later and thanked Andrea specifically, and also specially gave them a free order for this table.
Andrea looked at the piled plates on their table in silence, and replied sincerely: "It was just a little effort, and the food you cooked is very delicious. I should give you a corresponding reward to express my gratitude. And the love for food is what it takes.”
Zhepu laughed: "For a chef, saying "delicious food" is a high enough compliment! And it is an honor for me to have served the Sword Demon and get her approval!"
Andrea was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Instead of rigidly insisting on giving money, she asked Luo to go to the Roland to get some rare spices and sea salt from the Water City.
"This is not a reward, this is a gift. Please accept it."
"These are good things..." Zhepu was surprised when he saw this gift. He hesitated for a while and accepted it. He also promised, "Miss Sword Demon, if your family comes next time, it will be free of charge..."
Zhepu, who was about to waive the bill, noticed that the eyes of the children next to him suddenly brightened up. He was silent for a moment, as if he was surrounded by wolves. He looked back at the stack of plates and said very naturally: "It's a 50% discount! And it's valid forever!"
Anyway, you can still make money with the 50% discount, at least you won't be deprived by these little guys.
Zhepu didn't know that his decision would make him feel happy more than once later.
Andrea was a little embarrassed when she saw the other party's little behavior - if the other party really said that the order was free...then she would really be worried that such a delicious restaurant would be ruined.
And based on the agreed time for these children to go to sea at the age of 17, even if they survive the first few, by the time Luffy arrives, the entire restaurant will definitely collapse.
And when a few people left and Andrea watched the children go up one by one and were about to get on the boat, they were blocked by a little boy.
The other party handed over a beautifully packaged bag tied with flowers. Her blond hair covered half of her face, but the exposed eyes stared directly at Andrea. Her eyes seemed to be glowing, her face turned red, and she opened her mouth. , what he said was stammering: "...here, here you go!"
Andrea looked at him and recognized the little boy who had been entangled by the pirates just now. She bent down to take the thing from the other man's hand and asked curiously: "Can you open it and take a look?"
The other person nodded.
After Andrea opened it, she saw that there were baked biscuits inside, and the temperature seemed to be fresh from the oven.
She was a little surprised: "Did you do it?"
The little boy nodded again.
Andrea picked up a biscuit and put it in her mouth, with a somewhat surprised expression on her face: "Is it black tea flavored?"
"Because... I see you ordered black tea..." the little boy continued to stutter, this time he could say more words, "This is a thank you gift. Just now, thank you for saving me."
"That's not really a rescue." Andrea laughed, thinking that this child was easily shy and introverted. She looked at the cookies in her hand and the roses tied with ribbons to tie the bag of cookies, and felt that the child was still very polite.
"The biscuits are delicious, I like them very much." Andrea put the rose on the little boy's chest, then patted the boy's head and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift you made specially for me, little boy. gentleman."
【One hundred and thirty-seven】
Andrea didn't think too deeply about this episode. After returning to the boat, she shared the cookies with everyone. In her opinion, the child might have no peers of the same age on the boat and wanted to make friends but was a little shy. Are you going to give a gift specifically? After all, she also noticed at the time that when the pirate was about to beat him, the little boy looked calm and not afraid at all. But she wasn't surprised. After all, chef Zhepu dared to let the child carry the dishes alone, so he must have something to rely on.
But Andrea didn't know that the little boy did want to make friends, but he only wanted to make friends with her. Even if she stood with such a large group of children, in his eyes, everyone else was like potatoes and green peppers.
Luffy was eating cookies and started thinking about other things: "Mom Leia, is that weird eyebrow just now a chef?"
Andrea reached out and flicked Luffy's forehead: "Don't give others nicknames casually——"
"That's what Ace said."
Andrea frowned and looked over, warning: "Ace——"
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't give people random nicknames! But it's really weird."
Andrea: "..." This child's apology speed is really getting faster and faster, but all the apologies are of no use.
And Luffy was still thinking about the future: "To become the Pirate King, you must have a companion! So there must be a chef! And then there must be a swordsman like my mother, a doctor like Luo, and an old man like Bebo... Mom, what is Bebo?"
Bebo: "How rude! I'm going to be angry!"
"Bebo is naturally furry... No, you are a navigator. If you want to be a captain, you can't steer the ship yourself, right?" Andrea said and touched Bebo's head, lamenting that the bigger the child gets, the hairier it used to be. It felt a bit regretful to be so supple, but she also had other questions, "You have passed all the benchmarks, what about Sabo and Ace?"
"They are brothers." Luffy said matter-of-factly.
Sabo and Ace were also there, eating cookies and talking.
Ace: "I still think it's easier for me. As an adventurer, you can go out alone and don't have to find someone else."
Sabo: "Me too. I will go directly to Mr. Long and the others so that it won't be so troublesome. Luo, you will be the first to go to sea. Will you form a pirate group?"
Luo: "It depends on the situation."
Bebo, who was still angry, said: "I want to go to sea with Luo and be Luo's crew! I definitely don't want to be Luffy!"
Luffy turned away and said, "Hey."
Bebo: "Miss Leah! Look at him!"
Luffy started a series of confrontations: "嘁嘁嘁嘁-"
"Okay - stop making trouble -" Andrea twitched the corner of her mouth and shouted to stop this childish contest, "You are not allowed to lie down after eating just now. Take a short rest and class will start later."
In fact, relatively speaking, among the five children, Bepo and Luffy had the most quarrels.
Because Luffy is the youngest and is inherently naive, while Sabo and Ace, after all, are older and think that their brothers are letting him go. And Luo... Luo is the oldest. His personality determines that even if he is angry, he will always be sulky. He will not argue with Luffy, but will just write his dislike on his face.
But it doesn't matter, Luffy never took this dislike seriously. Still happy and going my own way.
According to Andrea's observation, the recent dislike of her disciple, who behaves like a little adult all day long, has become a bit like a pattern of acceptance of fate.
As for Bebo, I don’t know if it’s because he ran away from home since he was a child, was bullied by humans, and was accidentally used as food reserve. He has a fragile personality and relatively large mood swings. And because Andrea likes him to be furry, he is quite sticky. Andrea. The second one is Nian Luo - it may be related to the fact that Luo saved it twice, the first time it was saved from being used as a food reserve, and the second time he rescued it from the children who bullied it.
Going to a restaurant on the sea to eat is just an interlude, but since this day is an anniversary, naturally we still need to take photos as a souvenir.
Andrea dragged the children over to take pictures.
In fact, this photo is quite challenging - before it was just okay with Ace and Sabo, but after the population increases, it is more difficult to take pictures of everyone, especially in selfie mode.
After confirming that everyone was in the frame, Andrea put down the camera phone bug and took out the map: "Okay - let's continue our journey!"
