General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 207 Emily

Luo couldn't hold back and complained.

The bald old man scratched the few strands of hair he had left in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, because I saw a large stack of Baileys in the guest's hand, so I was blinded by money."

"You are honest..." Luo's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

"Okay! Thank you guest for renting two Bulu boats. We charge you 1700 beli. Guest, if you want to get off the boat somewhere in the water city, you only need to gently tap Bulu's neck three times with your hand. I want to To temporarily dock, just slap twice. Have a nice trip."

The old man took the money and watched Luo Xia and the other three jumping onto the wooden boat on Blue's back, smiling and waving.

There were two Blues, Rorschach and Skylark took one, and Luo took the single-seat one.

"This Blue is really stable. It doesn't wobble at all. I don't know how it swims."

Skylark sat in front of Rorschach, leaning forward to look into the water curiously.

Under the water, Blue had four legs.

At the end of each leg is a fan-shaped fin.

It is these four fins that paddle the sea water and push its three to four meter long body to swim forward.

The first half of the waterway was quite boring, because the places we passed were all slightly dark and empty passages.

The three of them walked along the No. 2 water inlet and passed a gentle upward waterway, and finally their eyes suddenly opened up.

"Come out! Look, we have now reached the top of the city wall we saw earlier. The upper city should be in front of us, right?"

Skylark turned around, looked at the vast blue sea behind him, and then looked at the towering and majestic giant Water City Fountain. The boredom on his face disappeared and he became excited again.

She turned to look at Luo Xia and said expectantly: "Brother Luo Xia, do you think we can eat water meat? I miss the taste of water barbecue so much. This is the origin of water meat. The taste is great." It must be more delicious.”

"Shui Shui Barbecue?"

Hearing this word, a hint of sadness suddenly appeared in the depths of Luo Xia's eyes.

He thought again of old Tommy in Shampoo Place.

The kind uncle who, despite being scared, had the courage to stand up and beg Pittman to let them go.

Skylark didn't know that Tommy Sr. was dead, and Rorschach didn't tell her.

"Brother Rorschach? What's wrong with you?"

Skylark was very sensitive to Rorschach's sad mood, and couldn't help but look up with concern.

"fine."

Rorschach reached out and rubbed her head.

Luo, who was not far away, glanced here slightly, pulled the brim of his hat, and said nothing.

Suddenly, Rorschach's face was startled, and he looked up at the bank of the waterway on the right.

There, he saw a somewhat familiar trolley.

A woman with an apron tied around her waist was taking a little girl with her knees high. She was so busy that she was sweating profusely, grilling the fragrant meat.

"Brother Luo Xia! Look, there is Shuishui Barbeque there! It smells so good~, let's go over and buy some to eat? Luo seems to have not tasted it yet."

Soon, Skylark also discovered the barbecue stall not far to the right.

Rorschach nodded and looked at the familiar trolley with extremely complex eyes.

The look on Luo's face was stunned, and he obviously saw something.

On the shore, the woman who was setting up a barbecue stall obviously noticed the approach of Blue, who was riding with three people, and a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face.

She reached out and patted the little girl next to her, and pointed towards Luo Xia and the others.

Then, Rorschach and the others saw the cute little girl with a baby face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of her nose at a young age. She ran quickly with short legs and stood there. He walked to the edge of the waterway and said in a milky voice:

"Dear guests, do you want to buy Shuishui Barbecue? We can provide one skewer for guests to taste for free. The first skewer is free of charge. From the second skewer onwards, each skewer of Shuishui Barbecue is only 100 beli."

The little girl didn't seem to be intimidated by the fact that Rorschach and the others were wearing navy uniforms.

Listening to the little girl's milky voice but clear enunciation and logical speaking, Yunque's face showed a look of surprise. "What a cute little girl, and she is so smart, Brother Rorschach."

She stood up, tapped her feet lightly on the edge of the wooden boat, and her petite body lightly crossed the three or four meters of water and landed in front of the little girl. She knelt down and looked at the little girl wearing glasses with a smile.

"Little sister, can you tell me what your name is?"

When the little girl witnessed Skylark's light movements, her eyes widened slightly, making her look even more adorable.

She was not afraid of strangers, and like a little adult, she stretched out her hand to push up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said:

"My name is Emily, I am five years old this year, and this is my mother Margery. How do you like it? Distinguished guests, do you want to come and taste the specialty of our water city, the delicious Shuishui barbecue? My mother's barbecue The craftsmanship is unparalleled even in the entire water city.”

"Emily? It's a nice name. Yes, we came here just because we smelled the aroma of meat and potatoes. Well~, this taste is exactly the same as the meat and vegetables I ate in Xiangbo. Could it be that Does all the shui shui barbecue taste like this?"

Skylark reached out and touched Emily's ball head. He couldn't help but reach out and pick up this smart and cute little girl. He walked to the barbecue stall and looked at the busy woman with a smile.

At this time, Luo Xia and Luo had also gone ashore and arrived in front of the woman's stall.

After seeing Luo Xia's slender figure, which was much taller than the roof of the trolley, the woman was a little surprised, but there was no panic on her face.

Instead, he smiled and nodded to the Luo Xia trio in a friendly manner, gesturing with his hands in front of him while placing strings of crystal clear special meats on the barbecue grill.

Seeing the woman pointing at her ears and mouth, and then making an apologetic gesture, Rorschach was stunned.

This is a deaf mute.

The woman looks ordinary, just an ordinary civilian woman.

The skin is slightly dark and rough, and the hands are covered with calluses, obviously from years of hard work.

But she always had a friendly smile on her face.

The eyes he looked at his daughter from time to time were full of love and affection.

"My mother said, distinguished guests, please wait a moment. She will grill three skewers of squid meat for you to taste. The squid meat is delicious and tender, and it will be grilled quickly."

Emily said in a sweet voice.

At the same time, he also raised his head and looked at Rorschach with curious eyes.

He seemed to be attracted by Rorschach's tall and slender height.

"Don't be in a hurry, we have a lot of time. Besides, Brother Rorschach and the others have a big appetite. Take out all the meat and water you have prepared. We are ready to have a big meal."

Hibari smiled and nodded at the woman.

Hearing what Skylark said, Emily broke away from her arms and ran to the woman happily, stretching out her little hand to gesture to her mother.

Following her gesture, the smile on the woman named Margery's face grew wider.

She suddenly walked out of the barbecue stall, bent down and bowed to the three Rorschachs one by one, opening and closing her lips and making gestures with her hands.

Emily walked to her mother's side, imitated her actions, and bowed to the three Rorschachs.

"My mother said, distinguished guests, thank you very much for your patronage. I will definitely grill the meat. In order to thank you for your generosity, I can give a few guests a [-]% discount on today's barbecue. Thank you very much."

"Don't be so polite. Get up quickly. We're just here to have barbecue."

Skylark looked at the two bowing mother and daughter, a little at a loss, and quickly stepped forward to help each other up.

Luo Xia stood in front of the stall numbly, feeling as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, becoming heavier than ever before.

Soon, Margaery handed the three skewers of meat that had been roasted beforehand to the three Rorschachs.

"Dear guest, please taste it first. If you feel it is not to your liking, please tell me." Emily obediently helped her mother translate.

Skylark couldn't wait to stuff the string of watery flesh into his mouth.

When she tasted the taste, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but said to the mother and daughter who were looking at the three of them expectantly:

"It's delicious! May I ask, does the water-and-water barbecue in the Water City all taste like this? I met an uncle who barbecued water-and-water meat in the Chambord Islands before. He said that his hometown also had the same taste. Water City. The barbecue he grills tastes exactly the same as your watery meat."
