Chapter 184
In the evening, in view of the approaching rainstorm week, there are occasionally people on the street carrying sandbags or wooden stakes and other things passing by, and there are special construction teams with shovels in their hands to open the roadside manhole covers. Prepare to unclog the drain.
The older generation talked about the strange things that happened during the rainstorm week in previous years, and the youngsters always talked more about the big holiday during the rainstorm week.
A small restaurant with its doors locked.
A casserole is placed on the iron shelf on the table. The toad meat is mixed with potatoes, vegetable leaves, river prawns, chicken feet and other materials, and some specially prepared ingredients are added. The gap leaked out, and several people stopped at the door to look at the two men sitting inside.
Toad pot, this is a dish developed by Donald the past few days with Anthony Hawkins, but toad meat is not the point, exactly all the ingredients in this pot are worthy of Grade 1 focus.
“This is the last meat. After this meal, there will be no more meat left. By the way, where’s your cat? Why didn’t you come today?”
>
Anthony put a potato on his mouth to cool it, swallowed it slowly, drank his glass of wine, poured a glass for himself and Donald, who was eating because of a hot toad meat. shaking his head.
Today, Anthony seems to want to drink very much, so he boils it, one cup after another, all of which are those with a higher degree of alcohol, and Donald is also a little drunk.
The two made full use of their relationship as a friend of wine and meat. They almost ate together this week except for breakfast. The relationship was much closer than the first time they met.
At least from eating only vegetables to eating while talking, and finally drinking and eating.
Anthony is a very self-disciplined person at ordinary times. He doesn’t have many hobbys. At present, it seems that reading and researching food are both, so Donald told him the recipes in his mind, and one of them provided ideas. A hands-on, copy out a lot of good things.
“Finger is at home, I just came out to ask someone to ask some questions, he is a wizard, he should be stronger than me, although I haven’t seen him make a move, but I have this feeling…. …I can’t drink anymore, I’m going to get drunk again, but unfortunately, this kind of dishes should be the best to eat in autumn and winter. Isn’t there a rainstorm week in a few days, it’s raining heavily outside, and I’m eating this kind of food inside. Things, watching the people on the street, very good dining environment.”
Goniz is a hidden wizard, which Donald is very sure of, otherwise he would not have spent time and again Money to consult this old man, and many of his insights are often to the point for the current Donald, and can give many useful suggestions.
“It’s good to be drunk, and you can forget some things when you’re drunk… It’s a pity, this kind of animal meat can’t be eaten all the time. Recently, I’ve been relying on your meat. The strength of the legs has been strengthened, but this is far from enough. If you want to be strong, you must get more exotic beast meat, you have to get stronger…”
Xu Shi drank it Because of some wine, Anthony’s expression looks a little sad. This is the state many people have after drinking. Some emotions about certain things in their hearts will be amplified. This is why some people with poor self-control The reason for losing self-control after drinking, such as Anthony, is already very restrained.
“Donald, I’m going to go out to sea the day after tomorrow. Are you interested? It’s a well-proven island. It takes about a day and a half to go back and forth. I’m not sure how long I’ll be on the island. When will I catch the steel claw? Mole, when will the return trip go, if it goes well, it shouldn’t be more than a day and a half.”
Anthony is still drinking one cup after another, the more others drink, the more confused he seems to be, the more he drinks, the better. There was a gloomy look on his face, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that Donald had never seen before.
“Why do you want to go to sea these two days, the rainstorm week is coming soon, and the situation at sea is not good?”
The waves brought by the rainstorm are no joke. If someone is accidentally involved, it may be said that they are gone.
“Just because the rainstorm week is coming soon, so I’m going, next week is the start of the rainstorm week, just like some creatures will appear abnormal before the earthquake, next week The environment on the Osway Sea will become extremely special. Some special creatures that are usually not seen at all will only appear at such times. The island I am going to is an inner island, and the resources on it are relatively rich. But this is not the key, the key is that there is a strange beast called the steel-clawed mole that lives on that island.”
Holding a wine glass in one hand, the short blade that used to cut vegetables didn’t know when it appeared. Anthony’s fingertips flew up and down like a butterfly in flowers, and he never looked at it from beginning to end. This was not showing off, but Anthony wanted to prove the authenticity of what he was going to say next,
“This kind of beast lives underground all year round. Only some time before the heavy rain week will it be unbearable due to the extremely low air pressure. When it comes to the ground to breathe, its two front claws are naturally extremely strong and flexible. You just now I can also see that my battle method has extremely high requirements on both hands, but because my innate talent cannot strengthen my hands, my skills cannot be fully exerted, so that the battle strength can only be said to be average, I recently got I’ve come up with a recipe for cooking claws that can be used to strengthen your hands,”
“You mean, let me help you?”
Donald took a sip of his drink and said nothing. , he was waiting for Anthony to continue.
“That’s right, I’m not the only one who knows the news. The distribution of steel-clawed moles is only on a few specific islands. Every year, many people go to snatch it. I need a collaborator. You can kill it alone. This toad, I recognize your strength, as long as you help me catch the steel-clawed mole, if there are more than 1, I can share the recipe with you, it is definitely more effective than the outside cooking method, it will strengthen your seal Speed, I know this kind of reward may be a bit shabby, but I really can’t come up with anything else right now.”
At this time, Anthony lost his confidence in cooking and looked a little embarrassed.
“Aren’t you going to give me some money? Aren’t you a famous chef in high society?”
“Sorry, I can’t give you money, and I can’t say why. “
Anthony drank his glass again in embarrassment. He was actually a bit of a joke when he said that. He asked people to help catch the steel-clawed mole, and the reward was to invite him to eat after catching it. meal.
This is similar to asking someone who has no relationship with us to help us move, and then asking someone to drink water and trying to send them away.
“This is too much, and you don’t want to pay for the ferry ticket for me?”
Donald picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Anthony, said with a smile.
Yes, Donald agreed, not the steel-clawed mole, but Anthony Hawkins.
Only from the fact that he feels embarrassed and sorry when he asks people for help when he feels that he is not paid enough, Donald thinks that he is an honest person, plus he can cook with exotic animal meat, the effect is It’s not bad, and he is also a very capable alien, otherwise he would not dare to go to the island to snatch the steel-clawed mole from others.
A relationship between friends is often cemented by helping each other, and Donald wants to befriend Anthony…he needs help.
The above are external factors, in fact there are some internal factors, that is, Donald is also eager to go overseas, he already has agile thinking, and what spell has collected is almost the same. It is time to verify the most recent Cultivation results. .
The island that Anthony mentioned is a relatively close island, just to practice hands and get familiar with the process and feeling of going out to sea.
“Leave these to me, two positions, I will also prepare some things to be used on the island, one day is enough, the time to go to sea is the morning of the day after tomorrow, and I will arrive on the island in the evening.”
>
There are no words of thanks, some things are kept in mind,
“I’m going to sea for the first time, is there anything I need to pay attention to?”
Donald stop With chopsticks, he may have spent no more than half a day at sea in his two lifetimes, let alone on an island.
“Are you seasick? Bring some oranges if you get sick. I’ll just go and buy them.”
Anthony’s sense of humour has always been in some strange ways since Donald He explained that you just stand here and don’t move around. I’m going to buy some oranges, and he always tries to use them a few times.
“I’m not seasick, I’m a wizard, and I always have this kind of self-control.”
“Well…can you kill people? Going out to sea, Germany Mingham’s laws don’t work, and reasoning is useless in many cases, everyone likes to speak with their fists.”
Anthony was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked,
If The dangers that may be encountered when going to sea are divided into 10%. On the unexplored islands, the threats caused by natural factors account for 70%, and the factors that are believed to account for 30%, because the threats from the outside world are extremely strong at this time, and most people must cooperate to ensure safety. , there is no time for intrigue.
However, when it comes to some proven islands, it is a little different. Everyone knows what the resources are and where they are. There is no need to pay too much attention to the dangers of the outside world. There are more monks and less porridge. Everyone cares more about getting more benefits, and fighting is inevitable.
“The means are quite rich.”
Donald didn’t know his current level among the Gentiles, so he just gave an ambiguous answer.
“That’s no problem.”
Going out to sea, as long as you can guarantee your life, everything else is easy to say.
The two agreed on a time at the dining table and set off the day after tomorrow, that is, this weekend, and returned before the rainstorm week.
Donald has to reschedule. He thinks the class at Marina can be postponed for a week. After all, it is a holiday during the rainy week, and Marina and Professor Cook live not far from the Imperial Family DeLorean. .
“I’m going to ask for leave the day after tomorrow, so I’m going to go out for a while? Okay, the rainstorm week is coming anyway, and the Academy will suspend all classes… These are not important, come and listen, here I am I got a new recording of the voyage.”
Compared with Donald’s request for leave, Professor Cook was obviously more interested in the information conveyed by the recording in his hand.
