Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

"Is this the rumored cat pianist Tom?"

Gragas, with his bald head, thick orange beard, and big beer belly, is very similar to the one imitated by the Telephone Bug.

His winery is located on Island 43, not far from the port of Island 44. He usually not only brews some wine himself, but also purchases wine from overseas.

"It's him. I didn't expect that even you had heard about it."

Gragas smiled boldly: "Haha, I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads throughout the Chambord Islands. Brother, be prepared for a fire in the tavern!"

"I hope I won't cause any trouble." Zhang Daye asked, "Is the wine I want ready?"

"They're all here. Brother, please take stock." Gragas pointed to the carriage behind him.

The carriage has also been modified with bubbles and has excellent shock absorption performance. Two workers are unloading boxes one by one - most of them are bottles of wine. Gragas will also use barrels when guests request it. But that is generally reserved for people who need to sail for a long time.

Zhang Da also took the list and counted the quantities: "Tom, Artoria, please help deliver these to the wine cellar."

"Little girl, and the kitten, how about I come to help, these are very heavy..."

Gragas watched in shock as Tom picked up a box larger than him and staggered into the tavern. Arturia stacked three boxes and moved them effortlessly: "Thank you for your kindness, we can do it. "

"Hmm...ah." Gragas scratched his beard, "It seems that this little girl is not an ordinary person."

"She is the guard of the tavern. Even though she is thin and small, it is not a problem to beat me ten times." Zhang Da is also a typical example of promoting himself. Mainly because he is afraid that others will not believe him if he talks too much, and Artoria knocks down dozens of people. He probably doesn't even have to break a sweat.

After counting, Zhang Da also took Gragas to the tavern to get money. His income these days was suddenly reduced by less than half.

Gragas looked at the price of the wine on the shelf and said, "Brother, are you still selling wine at Old Bob's price? This makes too little money. You are here in a tavern, not a grocery store."

"Really? I thought it was already very expensive to sell it at double the purchase price." It was a mistake. I didn't go to other stores to investigate before opening.

Gragas said: "So this is at most the price of wine sold in a grocery store or store. If you increase it by two to three percent, it will be about the price that a pub should have. Considering that you have a cat pianist here, the price of wine will be increased by a little bit by 40%. Nothing is too much.”

Zhang Da was also very moved: "Then why did Uncle Bob..."

Gragas guessed: "That guy may want to retire and be too lazy to adjust the price, or maybe he hasn't understood the market for a while."

"...I will learn more about it soon. Thank you uncle for reminding me."

"You're welcome. If you need a drink, please contact me anytime. Let's go."

"Why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

"Haha, let's wait another day. There are still a few bars to deliver." Gragas left with his people.

Pan-fried Neptune Steak with Black Pepper

Stewed Neptune Meat with Tomatoes

Crispy Neptune Meat

Steamed Neptune meat with garlic vermicelli

Red wine grilled Neptune steak

The above are the main dishes for dinner in the tavern today, plus a few vegetarian dishes and a soup carefully prepared by the soup chef.

Although the dishes on the table did not glow, Zhang Daye and Artoria's eyes were almost shining.

The three of them rubbed their hands together, picked up the tableware, swallowed together, and started.

"Well……"

"Well……"

"Well……"

“So delicious!”*2

I don’t know whether it was Tom’s skill that improved or the quality of the Neptune’s meat was too good. After one bite, I couldn’t stop eating. The three of them swept through the dishes in front of them like a whirlwind.

That is to say, Artoria and Zhang Da were more reserved, so they didn't lick all the soup on the plate like Tom did.

Tom's stomach turned into a ball once again today. Arturia was obviously not satisfied yet, and Zhang Da also failed to wash the dishes immediately.

"Why do you feel so full today? Did Tom cook too much?"

Tom shook his head, indicating that there wasn't much difference.

Artoria took a sip of tea and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with meat. It feels like it has the effect of strengthening the body. Although it's not much, it's still significant compared to ordinary food. If you eat a lot of Neptune meat every day, it's going to have a negative effect on your current health."

It’s very beneficial to you.”

"In other words, it's best to buy it often?" Zhang Da also heard this and felt very excited. It would be great to speed up the speed of becoming stronger.

"That's right." Arturia nodded seriously.

Zhang Da also felt that something was wrong and looked into her eyes with suspicion: "You really don't want me to buy this kind of meat because it tastes so good?"

The stupid hair on Artoria's head bent, and she and Zhang Da also looked away and denied: "Absolutely not."

Are you feeling guilty?

Zhang Da was also convinced that she wanted to eat this kind of meat, and it was not a lie that she could become stronger. He was very heartbroken, mainly because of his wallet. This thing is really much more expensive than ordinary meat...

Price increase, the price of wine in the pub must increase!

Otherwise, the already poor tavern will be even worse.

"How about we close the shop and go fishing..."

Of course, this is just a complaint. Zhang Da also thinks that this tavern can still be saved. If it can't survive, let's have the shamelessness to let Arturia catch a rewarded prisoner or something. He obviously promised to provide three meals a day, but in the end

It’s really unspeakable to ask others to earn your own living.

We were still open at the original price for the time being that night. I thought it would be as peaceful as before, but unexpectedly, there were a few people who didn't open their eyes.

They were three people with goggles on their heads. They walked as arrogantly as Doflamingo. They ordered some wine and meat, had enough to eat and drank, and walked out with their hands in their pockets.

"Guys, did you forget to pay?" Zhang Da also put down the tray in his hand and walked over.

"I owe you now, and I'll pay you back in a few days." One of them said casually.

"It's a small business, no credit allowed." Zhang Da also stretched out his hand to block their way.

The leader pressed down Zhang Tatsuya's arm and said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't been here long, do you know who we are?"

The other two people watched and laughed.

"Are you famous?" Zhang Daye looked at the three unremarkable faces of passers-by and had no impression at all. He thought to himself that he had met some famous bully in this area.

The smiles of the three people became even brighter: "No, no, no, I mean, since you don't know us, it's easy."

After saying that, the three of them ran away.

Zhang Da, who was waiting for them to announce their identity, didn't react immediately.

But just as they were about to run out of the tavern door, the round rope loop flew over and wrapped around the first person's neck. The part above the person's neck immediately stopped, and a beautiful fan shape was drawn below the neck, and finally at

He lay flat in the air and hovered for a second, then fell on his back to the ground with a thud.
