Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 13

"Oops! Boss Lin Zhi, you guys are back. I thought we were going to go back to the old days of eating bread tonight!"

What Lin Zhi didn't expect was that even though the sky had completely darkened and the busy streets had become deserted, there were still hungry customers waiting in front of his restaurant to open.

It was the three carpenters wearing white vests.

Due to work reasons, they usually have to work overtime until very late, and other restaurants in Windmill Village close early.

So before Lin Zhi came to the village, the three of them made do with bread for dinner.

"Have you not eaten yet? Come in quickly."

After being surprised, Lin Zhi quickly opened the restaurant door and let the three people in.

After a tiring day, he originally didn't plan to open the business, but seeing how hungry the three of them were, he really couldn't bear it.

After all, it's quite a good feeling to have people look forward to the delicious food you made with your own hands.

And it just so happened that he also wanted to talk to them about shipbuilding.

"Eh? Are you in any trouble? Why does Ms. Aqua look so embarrassed?"

Sitting on a familiar dining table, a carpenter discovered Aqua with messy hair and dirty body.

As soon as he said the words, the person next to him grabbed him and winked quietly.

The man reacted immediately and changed his tone directly: "Ah, no, please forgive me for being rude, my dear Lady Aqua, the goddess of water!"

"no problem, no problem."

Aqua has always been very tolerant and generous towards her "believers" and explained lightly, "When I was releasing the holy water generation magic, the ground was too slippery and I accidentally fell."

Hearing this, the three carpenters looked at each other and sighed heavily in unison.

Wrestling is wrestling, and there is no magic. This poor child is really very ill!
"There's no fried rice anymore. Can you give us a bowl of beef noodles?"

Lin Zhi, who was afraid that Aqua, the idiot, would spill the beans quickly spoke up and interrupted their conversation.

"No problem, you can do anything as long as it's Boss Lin Zhi."

The three carpenters have absolute trust in Lin Zhi's craftsmanship.

"Wait a moment, it will be fine soon."

Lin Zhi nodded, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm here to help you, just prepare it and let me carry it out!"

Aqua, with her ears perked up, hurriedly followed, showing far more courtesy than usual.

"You want to take it into your own belly, right?" Lin Zhi revealed her true intention without mercy.

This wishful thinking has hit me directly in the face!

"Hey, hey hey."

Aqua, whose little idea was exposed, laughed and scratched her head, and then explained seriously, "Even a goddess will be hungry. Besides, I have helped you so much today, why don't you eat something?" As it should be!"

"Lie on my back and take a nap like an octopus. It's really hard on you."

Even so, Lin Zhi did not stop Aqua, but let her follow him into the kitchen.

After washing his hands and putting on an apron, Lin Zhi turned on the stove and lowered his voice and said to Aqua: "Forget about the beef noodles. The beef is overnight. I'll make you a bowl of pork bone meatball noodles."

Now it was Aqua's turn to look full of disdain: "You actually made overnight food for guests to eat, it's really too bad Lin Zhi."

"Then don't eat. Stand at the door and drink the northwest wind."

"I'm very sorry, Master Lin Zhi, I was wrong!"

...The process of cooking noodles is relatively simple. After a few minutes, Lin Zhi brought out five steaming bowls of noodle soup - followed by a dumb goddess who was dripping with laughter.

Lin Zhi deliberately placed Aqua's pork bone meatball noodles alone on the dining table in the corner. He sat down opposite the three carpenters and handed three bowls of beef noodles to them: "I've been waiting for a long time."

"We're on!"

The carpenters couldn't wait to use their chopsticks and slurp the noodles.

Lin Zhi picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy this pleasant meal after a tiring day.

It can be clearly seen that he is eating exactly the same beef noodles as the carpenters.

After the three carpenters had almost eaten, Lin Zhi started to talk about the shipbuilding business.

Although the few people in front of me are not the best shipwrights in Windmill Village, they have a lot of resources and connections in shipbuilding, and their professionalism is much better than randomly looking for people on their own.

"What? Boss Lin Zhi, do you want to leave Windmill Village and go to sea?" The carpenters were very surprised.

"Yes, the magnificent sea is my true destination, and I want to make a name for myself there." Lin Zhi did not hide it.

Traveling to the world of pirates, no one would be willing to waste their life in a remote village.

Even if the sea is far more cruel and dangerous than imagined, we still have to meet those legendary figures!
"That's really a desirable pursuit, but it's a pity that we don't have much ability and can only survive by relying on trivial craftsmanship."

Seeing the bright and determined light shining in Lin Zhi's eyes, the three carpenters couldn't help but sigh.

Once upon a time, they who were mediocre also had grand dreams of conquering the sea...

"If it is a sloop that can meet the basic needs of navigation, we can join hands with some friends and it will be completed in about a month. I wonder what your requirements are, Boss Lin Zhi?" After sighing, the carpenter began to enter serious mode.

"There are no requirements, but one month is too slow." Lin Zhi shook his head gently.

Aqua is the only partner now, and the ship needed is just a transitional ship that can sail normally in the East China Sea.

"Others need a month, but we only need ten days."

Another carpenter assured with confidence.

Lin Zhi picked up the last piece of beef in the bowl and put it into his mouth, very satisfied with the time.

"Then please."

The matter was settled in this way. As for the cost of the ship, the carpenters didn't say much. They just gave an estimate of about 50 beli.

"Boss Lin Zhi, can you cook a few more side dishes? I just want to have a drink after a long time!"

Thinking that they would never have the chance to taste the unique delicacies of Lin Zhi Restaurant, the three carpenters rubbed their hands.

"No problem, I'll cook the food for you first, and then go to Mackino's to get the wine." Lin Zhi readily agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aqua, who was sitting at the next table, appeared at the speed of light.

"No, I have wine here!"

Aqua bit an uneaten pig bone in her mouth, put the wine that Maginot had given her during the day behind the dining table, and waved to Lin Zhi repeatedly.

"Just go ahead and cook. By the way, remember to have more portions. I'm not even full yet!"

The corner of Lin Zhi's mouth twitched slightly: This arrogant attitude made people inexplicably angry!

Looking at Aqua who crossed her legs to open the wine and started shouting cheers to the carpenters, for a moment, he even thought about poisoning the food to make this drunkard and foodie's mouth mute!

In the end, in front of outsiders, Lin Zhi chose to be patient and could not poison the dishes - unfortunately, there was no poison in his kitchen that could make people mute...

The carpenters were relieved that they did not charge him a deposit for the shipbuilding, so of course he did not charge for the meal and food.

This is called ritual exchange.
