Start with the fisherman

Chapter 46 Not worth mentioning

Tianxianglou is an ordinary restaurant among the many restaurants in Cape City, but their pork head meat is quite famous in Cape City, and many dignitaries occasionally come to taste it.

"The pig head meat here is quite famous. It is made by taking fresh pig heads, marinating them for three to five days, then hanging them in a ventilated place to dry for ten days or half a month to allow them to absorb moisture and dry. The dried pig heads are put into a smoking cage and smoked with herbs such as Poria cocos and Angelica sinensis, using a low fire and light smoke. It takes more than a month to smoke..."

Feng Kuang walked into Tianxiang Tower first, and introduced the specialties of Tianxiang Tower to Cao Ze with a smile. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the place.

"captain."

As soon as they entered Tianxiang Tower, the group of people in front heard the voice, and a young man turned around and saluted Feng Kuang.

This person turned out to be the first mate of the Tornado, Amami Takeshi.

"Tianhai."

Feng Kuang also felt it was quite a coincidence and replied. They often went to Tianxiang Tower for small gatherings, so it was not surprising that Tian Haiyi appeared here.

"Captain, please forgive me for having a distinguished guest here."

After a brief greeting, Tian Haiyi quickly apologized and followed the old man in front of him upstairs.

Before leaving, he casually glanced at Cao Ze, who was there that day as well. He admired this young man who was able to kill the Red Dragon Messenger of the Dragon Temple. He believed that this young man would be the first mate of the Hurricane in the future.

Feng Kuang waved his hands and didn't take it seriously. They had already known about Tian Haiyi's affairs, and everyone had been working well together on the Kuangfeng. Naturally, he would not ruin his brother's future.

Looking at the old man who was walking like a dragon and a tiger and was about to disappear at the stairs on the second floor, Feng Kuang had some longing in his eyes.

He knew that the person should be the manager of the Yue family, the leader of the four major families in Cape City.

Don't underestimate him as just a manager, his cultivation is unfathomable and he is a master in refining internal organs!
“I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to break through to the stage of internal organ refining in this lifetime.”

Feng Kuang sighed softly, and then let the melancholy drift away with the wind. He took Cao Ze and the other person up to the second floor and found a seat by the window.

"Xiaowu, same as usual, three bottles of wine, a portion of pig's head, and you can arrange the rest!"

"Good Le!"

The waiter obviously knew Feng Kuang. He agreed and went to the kitchen to give instructions.

……

In the box on the third floor.

"Who is that young man? Your captain seems quite polite to him."

Tian Haiyi sat down with the Yue family manager and suddenly asked, he had never seen this young man in Haijiao City before.

Tian Haiyi was surprised, but quickly started to explain and talked about what happened at sea that day.

"I guess he will become the first mate of the Tornado in the future. He is really a promising young man, much better than me!"

The steward nodded slightly upon hearing this and didn't ask any more questions.

He originally thought he was someone of great importance, but he didn't expect him to be just a little guy with some potential.

"Young and promising?"

The sixth level of physical training is nothing compared to a young man’s achievements.

Not worth mentioning.

……

On the second floor, wine and food were served, and Cao Ze and his friends were chatting about all sorts of things. The atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.

Of course, most of the time it was Feng Kuang and Su Wu who were talking, while Cao Ze listened carefully on the side, and gained a lot of knowledge. "I wonder where Brother Cao is doing?"

After eating and drinking, when the dinner was almost over, Feng Kuang suddenly asked.

Cao Ze didn't understand what he meant, so he answered truthfully, "Fishing for a living is not a high achievement."

Feng Kuang's eyes lit up, "In this case, the position of first mate on my Kuangfeng will be vacant soon. I wonder if Brother Cao would be willing to do me a favor?"

Cao Ze suddenly realized. No wonder Feng Kuang was so polite to him. It turned out that he was trying to recruit him.

But he was even more confused. He didn't know what he had done to deserve Feng Kuang's invitation of such a high standard and directly offer him the position of first mate.

Could it be that he discovered that he was the one who committed the crime in the ruined temple?
That shouldn't have happened. No one should have noticed it at that time.

"Ze's ability is limited, and I'm afraid he will ruin the captain's plan..."

Although he had many questions in his mind, Cao Ze refused without hesitation. He could become stronger by adding points at ease, so there was no need to take risks outside.

Moreover, he could only accumulate points faster when he was with Su Xiaozhi. How could he leave Su Xiaozhi to hunt and kill some demon fish?

"Brother Cao, you are joking. If you are not qualified, there are not many people who can do it in Cape City. The figure of Brother Cao slaying the Red Dragon Messenger of the Dragon Temple on the sea that day amazed me for a long time!"

Feng Kuang shook his head, thinking that Cao Ze was being modest.

Cao Ze finally realized what was going on. The pressure from the Red Dragon Messenger that day was too strong. He only knew that someone seemed to have disrupted the arrangement of the Dragon Temple, but he had no chance to see who did it.

I didn’t expect it to be the Tornado!
In this way, Feng Kuang actually saved his life.

If Feng Kuang and the others had not arrived in time, he would never have escaped the siege of the Dragon Temple.

The life-saving favor cannot be forgotten, but it does not mean that I have to repay it by becoming the first mate on the Tornado.

"It turned out that it was Captain Feng who helped me that day. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Cao Ze raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp, but he did not say "If you have any instructions, I will not refuse."

After all, if he agreed now, he would encounter danger and die when he went out to sea.

How can you repay someone when the person is gone?
He had a golden finger and knew that he would be able to repay the favor, so there was no need for him to do something stupid just to impress himself.

Feng Kuang waved his hands. He had no intention of asking for a reward. Instead, he continued, "If Brother Cao is willing to come, I will pay you five taels of silver per day. You can use any demon fish you catch at sea. I have three kinds of demon fish recipes on my Kuangfeng, which I can provide to you for free!"

Su Wu was somewhat moved. The flesh and blood of the demon fish contained powerful qi and blood. After eating it, warriors could greatly speed up their cultivation speed. This was also the biggest benefit for their ocean-going ships.

However, there are many kinds of demon fish in the East China Sea, and most of them cannot be eaten directly. For example, the meat of the soft-bone sea snake contains a large amount of aphrodisiac toxins. Even warriors will inevitably be burned by desire after eating it. If they eat too much at once, the powerful blood of the soft-bone sea snake will rampage in the warrior's body, or even break out of the body, causing the warrior who eats it improperly to explode and die.

Some demon fish are extremely poisonous, and even a small bite will cause death by poisoning. Some demon fish have thick skin and flesh, and even warriors cannot digest them...

Therefore, corresponding prescriptions are needed to neutralize the toxins and process the food ingredients so that the flesh and blood of the demon fish can become a supplement to the warrior's qi and blood.

Each of these prescriptions was developed after paying countless costs for testing, so they are naturally not easy to obtain.

Although the salary on the Blue Sea where he was previously working was higher, even as the first mate, one had to pay real money to buy the monster fish for consumption, not to mention the prescriptions for dealing with the monster fish. Even the most common prescription required at least one hundred taels of silver to buy from the captain.

This is still a discount for the crew. If you buy it directly in Cape City, you won’t even get the prescription without two hundred taels of silver.

But now, Feng Kuang actually promised to provide the prescriptions for three kinds of demon fish for free!

He was now even more curious about what earth-shattering things Cao Ze had done in the past few days.
