Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"Although the food on Fish-Man Island is great, the food at home is still more delicious." Zhang Da also leaned on the back of his chair and picked his teeth with a toothpick in an inconspicuous manner.

Tom's movements were similar to his, although those two neat rows of white teeth were nothing to pick at.

"It's not that the food at home tastes better, but that Teacher Tom's craftsmanship is better, right?" Rui Mengmeng put the food residues into the trash can, and then stacked the empty plates one by one.

Everyone was so full that they didn't want to move, but she was always so diligent.

Zhang Da also glanced at Tom: "That's the reason, right. By the way, you're going to learn cooking from Tom. It's been almost two months. How's it going?"

"It should be fine...actually I'm only good at chopping vegetables." Rui Mengmeng didn't have much confidence in herself.

Cutting vegetables? He was probably practicing swordsmanship, so Zhang Da also doubted Tom's teaching level. After all, he used to teach kittens to catch mice, but in the end, he taught the kittens to become friends with mice.

However, Zhang Da did not hit her: "Chopping vegetables is also a craft. I remember that the income from cutting piers seems to be pretty good. In fact, I think you have a better future by learning more combat skills."

While chatting, Rui Mengmeng brought a large pile of plates back to the kitchen.

In fact, when she was working in the past, she would not dare to stack the plates so high because the top plates would be too heavy and the bottom plates would easily break after being lifted up.

If the bottom plate cracked, all the plates would fall to the ground, and then she would have to consider whether this month's salary was enough.

But when she got here, she no longer had such worries. She had seen with her own eyes that Teacher Tom walked crookedly while carrying a pile of plates as high as one person. The only thing that could limit his performance was the height of the door frame.

After Rui Mengmeng finished clearing the tableware, Zhang Da also picked up the rag and wiped the table clean: "Come on, let's have a meeting!"

"Didn't we always talk about going to sea before? We now have more than 120 million beli in hand. If we sell all the gold in our hands, we should be able to buy a very good ship."

Zhang Da also remembered that the Straw Hats brought back a lot of gold from the Sky Island in exchange for 300 million beli. The gold in their hands is probably about the same.

"So should we sell the gold and buy a ship and go to sea directly, or should we continue to open a tavern and become bounty hunters to catch pirates to make money?"

Tom first raised his hand against selling the gold, and he was reluctant to part with his statue.

Artoria also said: "Me too, that pair of gold armor is more ornamental than practical. I wouldn't wear it anyway."

Shark Chili said: "I don't care, I don't lack toothbrushes, and gold toothbrushes are not more comfortable than ordinary toothbrushes. It's just a pity for Neptune and the others."

Rui Mengmeng looked around: "If everyone agrees, mine too..."

"Forget it." Zhang Daye interrupted, "You are different from them. One of the purposes of your coming here is to make money. Wouldn't it be better to take some gold back with you? Bailey can't use it."

"But everyone is willing to give it, and I also want to contribute." Rui Mengmeng lowered her head, gold is very good, and the sword will definitely be sold for a lot of money. She is reluctant to part with it, but everyone is willing. In order to contribute to buying a boat, how could I just watch?

"Mengmeng, when employees treat you like this, capitalists will be moved to tears." Zhang Daye said helplessly, "That was a gift from Nipton to you. You are like winning the lottery." It’s like using the bonus to buy a luxury car for your boss.”

"But the boss doesn't treat me as an employee. With the current accommodation and food conditions, my daily workload is not enough. We all get along well with each other. Arturia often takes care of me. Although it seems It’s small, but it feels like a sister. Even if Shark Chili comes late and isn’t familiar enough, Shark Chili will come to my rescue when a customer strikes up a conversation with me. Also, I don’t always take my employees out to play with me. Are you traveling together?"

Rui Mengmeng spoke very hastily and confusedly. She wondered if she had encountered too many problems before, but she still remembered the little kindness others did to her.

Zhang Da also really doesn't have the consciousness to be a boss, and he doesn't even pay his wages on time, even though he usually gives them a lot of pocket money.

After all, he was summoned through a plug-in, so it was difficult to really regard him as an employee. Moreover, he spent his summer vacation working as an employee for others, never as a boss.

For food and lodging, others came from another world to help him and provide him with some life support, and most of the money was earned by catching pirates together.

As for going out to play, it must be fun when everyone is together. Zhang Da is also thinking about whether he should nod and say, "I treat everyone like family" at this time?

Ugh~ It was too disgusting to say, so Zhang Daye said: "This is not the same thing, just think of it as corporate culture."

Rui Mengmeng retorted: "Boss, I study little but work a lot. You can't lie to me. Isn't the corporate culture just standing in front of the store and shouting slogans? How can anyone actually pay out benefits? And the money is so generous. "

Yes, Mr. Pei's company is... Zhang Da also wanted to say that.

At this time, Shark Pepper understood what was going on. One wanted to contribute the same as everyone else and did not want to be treated differently, and the other wanted to take care of each other's specific situation.

So he rolled his eyes and said: "Boss Tatsuya, I thought about it and thought that the gold toothbrush is really good. If you want to keep it for yourself, why don't you take it out. In fact, we can also use it to raise money by catching pirates. It won’t be long.”

Zhang Da was also stunned, and then he saw Shark Chili blinking at him, and he suddenly figured out Rui Mengmeng's current mentality.

To give an inappropriate analogy, it’s a bit like trying to donate money to a disaster area in front of a class. If you donate more, you don’t have the ability. If you donate less, you feel like you don’t care enough, and you worry that everyone will misunderstand that you are unwilling to contribute.

It’s really hard for Dr. Kogenji to design various flexible movements and states for the robot’s eyes. Zhang Tatsuya’s thoughts wandered for a moment and then he continued:

"Then keep it. In fact, I don't want to part with the golden folding stool. At least let me try it and see if it feels good to hit someone."

After speaking, Zhang Da also looked at Artoria expectantly.

Arturia didn't seem to react and said: "I really have no problem. That golden armor is really useless. I can deal with it no matter what."

Zhang Da also raised his forehead, wasn't it just a joke to say that my king doesn't understand people's hearts?

He quickly helped her make amends and said: "Keep yours too. I think your gift is the most exquisitely made among us. It must have taken a lot of thought. I feel a little sorry for Neptune by selling it like this."

Before Rui Mengmeng could say anything else, Zhang Da also made a final decision: "Okay, that's it. I've decided to keep my gift for myself. From tomorrow on, I will continue to open a tavern to gather information, and work part-time as a bounty hunter to earn money to buy a boat."

Sorry for getting up late today...
