Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

The thought of making Tom a star like Brooke was fleeting. It was better not to do it until he couldn't afford to eat, and Tom might not like it.

The next two days are nothing more than training, drawing draws, and opening a store.

Tom's reputation was spread by the first two groups of guests. Some people just heard it as a strange story, while others immediately believed it because the sea was so vast that anything could happen.

So many people came to see Tom, and the business of the tavern was getting better and better. Tom earned a lot of snacks every day by playing the piano.

The guests who often come to the tavern to join in the fun gradually develop the habit of bringing some snacks with them for Tom, and they always order more wine to take care of business.

It's not that no one noticed Artoria's beauty, it's just that she looked too young, so no one came to talk to her.

That afternoon, Zhang Da also locked the door of the tavern, got on the bubble car, and took Tom and Artoria out.

This bubble car was bought for 10,000 beli and used for purchasing.

Different from the single-person bubble car that requires you to get into the bubble to ride, this one has the mechanical part installed on top of a donut-shaped bubble, with a body behind it.

This type of vehicle is probably equivalent to the small three-wheeled vehicle of Chushiban Dazhou among bubble cars.

In fact, if a man is riding a bicycle and a woman is sitting on the back seat, the feeling can usually be described as first love.

But if the man is riding a tricycle and the woman is sitting in the carriage, this scenario usually involves an old man taking an old woman out for a walk.

Today, Mr. Zhang is going to take 15-year-old Granny Altria and their pet cat out to buy some things, including ingredients and... phone bugs.

When delivering the tavern, Old Bob helped Zhang Daye introduce the wine merchant Gragas and left his phone number, but Zhang Daye never bought the phone number.

The original phone bug in the tavern was taken away by Bob, not because the phone bug was expensive but because he didn't want to change his number.

The appearance of telephone bugs is similar to that of snails, and they can be large or small. They can be used after being caught in the wild and equipped with special equipment. The phone bugs themselves seem to be happy to be captured by humans, because that means they have no worries about food and clothing.

The three of them picked and picked and finally chose a blue ordinary phone bug, and then three baby phone bugs, which was equivalent to buying a landline and three mobile phones.

After completing the purchase of ingredients, Zhang Da also rode back.

Arturia and Tom curiously poked the phone bugs from behind, then poked the baby phone bugs, woke them up, and then fed them some vegetable leaves.

They spend most of their time sleeping and usually only wake up when talking and eating.

"I'm lucky this time. I can buy Neptune meat, but the price is a bit expensive." Zhang Daye said, "Does Tom know how to cook Neptune meat?"

Neptunes are relatively common in the Grand Line, but there are not many fishermen capable of catching them, so they are not often sold.

Sea beasts and sea kings are not the same concept. If you want to distinguish them, mammals in the ocean are usually called sea beasts, and those non-mammals that are close to fish and amphibians are sea kings.

For example, Moo Moo, the manatee of the Arlong Pirates, can only be considered a sea monster, while the King of the Sea who bit off Shanks's arm is a sea king.

Compared with sea beasts, Neptunes are usually more ferocious in temperament, stronger, more difficult to capture, and of course more expensive.

Tom was still conferring on the menu, but Arturia said first: "This is meat cut from the fish-shaped sea king. The cooking methods can be stewed, fried, deep-fried, etc. If you want to stew, what side dishes are needed?

have……"

"Tai, stop, stop, why do you know so well?" Zhang Da couldn't help but ask as he listened to her listing the side dishes and seasonings item by item.

"Don't you know Tatsuya? We obviously read the same newspaper every day. There is an introduction in a certain issue of the food column." Artoria criticized confidently, "Tatsuya, you need to understand the world through newspapers and collect information.

The necessary information is what you said, but now it seems that you haven't done enough."

Zhang Daye: "..."

Did I ask you to read this when I read the newspaper? No wonder you consume snacks very quickly every time you read the newspaper. It turns out you are reading the food column!

Sooner or later our pub will be bankrupted by you!

After returning to the tavern, I put all the ingredients into the refrigerator and put the phone bug on the bar. Its back has 0210 as its number. The phone bug's number is very messy, with several digits.

Zhang Da also picked up the phone and dialed Gragas' number 4396.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... Kacha."

The phone bug in front of Zhang Daye grew an orange beard, his eyes changed shape, and a rich uncle's voice came from his mouth: "I am Gragas, who are you?"

The three people who used the phone bug for the first time looked at its changes curiously, and Tom even reached out to pull its beard mischievously.

I didn’t mention it, the beard seems to be just a light and shadow effect produced in a special way.

"Hello, Uncle Gragas, this is Daye's tavern." Zhang Daye was also curious whether the phone bug on the other end had also turned into himself, "I need to order a batch of wine, the type and quantity are as before.

It’s just the usual practice, it’s best if I can deliver it today.”

The bearded phone bug was silent for a while, showing an expression of realization. Except for Tom, this was the first time they saw such rich expressions on the faces of animals:

"It's the boy from 'Running Tatsuya'! The delivery address is still the location of Old Bob's pub, right?"

"Yes, 59GR Baker Street 221B, the address has not changed."

"No problem, it will be delivered before five o'clock."

"Thank you very much."

"Kacha." The phone bug hung up, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and the beard on his face slowly disappeared.

"What a magical creature." Arturia put her hands on the table, only showing the upper half of her face, and looked at the phone bug's level.

Zhang Da also suspected that she was being cute and joked: "It's really amazing, but I don't know if it tastes good or not."

Arturia's eyes flashed with emotion, and the phone bug woke up from his dream with a frightened expression, wanting to escape but not daring to move.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just joking." Zhang Daye touched the phone bug's shell and comforted him, "Let's study how to eat the meat of the Neptune species."

Artoria was a little disappointed, but she immediately looked through the newspaper she had read with anticipation and showed Tom the page that introduced Neptune's cooking methods.

Tom also took out four cookbooks and looked for specific dishes, and he couldn't stop drooling.

The main reason is that as a cat, he has some preferences for fish food, so he wants to try this "big fish" even more.

Zhang Da didn't care about the two foodies and planned to complete today's training plan before Gragas arrived.
