Chapter 151 Letter
"Hey, Tatsuya-kun is back?"
"Isn't this Tatsuya-kun?"
"Young boss, when will the pub reopen?"
Zhang Daye and his friends were walking back to the tavern with large and small bags on their backs, and people who knew them greeted them.
"I'm back", "Hello", "We'll open after a short break", Zhang Da also responded one by one.
In fact, he hasn't decided on the opening time, or even whether to open the store.
If they sold the gold they harvested this time, it would be enough for them to buy a good ship. However, they felt a little uncomfortable selling the gift that someone had just given them.
Besides, everyone likes the gifts they received very much, and they might be reluctant to sell them directly.
Especially Tom, he insisted on putting the golden statue as big as him into his pocket and carrying it on his back. When he got tired of carrying it, he held it in his arms. When he got tired of holding it, he carried it on his back. When he got tired of carrying it, he continued to hold it in his arms. He repeated this cycle over and over again, feeling tired but happy.
Chili Shark's gold toothbrush had long been stored in his shark-head storage cabinet, along with his own toothbrush.
Rui Mengmeng's golden sword and Altria's golden armor were given to Zhang Da, who also found a suitable cabinet to store them in the inventory, as well as his own golden folding stool.
Zhang Da also tried sitting on the golden folding stool, but it was hard and cold, and he felt uncomfortable. He just didn't know how it would feel to use it to hit people.
Altria didn't really care about the armor. She was not Gilgamesh and she didn't have the hobby of walking around in shining golden armor.
In short, whether to sell the gold to exchange for the ship or keep it as a souvenir, let's discuss it together before making a decision.
Ding-ling-ling~ The wind chimes hanging on the door made a crisp sound, welcoming the return of the tavern owner.
"Ah, so tired~" Zhang Da also put his bag on the table. In fact, he was not tired at all. It was just that after seven or eight days of traveling, he returned home and collapsed on the chair. He couldn't help but want to say this sentence.
The one who was really tired was Tom. He was so tired from carrying his statue all the way that he could hardly stand up.
At this time, he placed the statue on the ground, opened the bag from time to time to take a peek, with a smile on his face.
Altria was already skillfully boiling water, making tea and serving snacks; she hadn't had enough of the desserts from Fishman Island.
Shark Chili took the toothpaste that he bought from Fishman Island back to his room and sorted it out.
Rui Mengmeng took out a rag and a mop and planned to clean up.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Da was about to sort out the various small gifts and souvenirs he brought back from Fishman Island. Seeing that Tom was still holding the statue, he said:
"Tom, should we move the statue upstairs? It's too conspicuous here. Someone might steal it."
Tom hesitated. Actually, he wanted to put it downstairs to show off. He was not the kind of person who liked to keep a low profile. But he would be sad if it was stolen.
"How about I help you put it away? You can take it out when you want to see it." Zhang Da also used the trick that parents use to cheat children out of their New Year's money.
Smart Tom would not believe his nonsense. He shook his head quickly, picked up the statue and ran upstairs.
Zhang Da didn't care about him. Tom was only interested in things for a short time. In a few days, he might forget that he had a statue.
"Give Uncle Goodman two bottles of Ryugu City's fine wine. This coral ornament is pretty nice and can be given to Mrs. Molly. You can also give them a few of these photos after they are developed. And as for Little Bayer... give them some of Fishman Island's special desserts?"
Zhang Daye also took out two boxes of desserts from the bag that Altria placed on the table.
stare……
Altria's eyes were fixed on Zhang Daye's hand.
Zhang Da also blinked and moved the plate in his hand left and right, and Altria turned her head left and right.
Zhang Da also drew an 8 shape in the air with the plate in his hand, and Altria's head also twisted in an 8 shape, with the ahoge on her head trembling, making people worry that she might pounce on him to protect the food.
"Just deduct this from my share, okay?" Zhang Da said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Altria blushed a little. It was just a subconscious action. "It's okay. I don't care. It doesn't matter even if you give my golden armor to someone else."
Zhang Da also smiled and shook his head and put the gift away. It’s okay to give away the golden armor, but if I give away desserts, you will glare at me, right?
There's really no hope.
"Boss, we haven't been back for such a long time, there is no dust at all, and there is no smell left in the room from not being ventilated for too long." Rui Mengmeng said as she walked down the stairs.
"Maybe Uncle Goodman and the others came to clean the house these two days. We'll know when we ask." Zhang Da also remembered that he left a key at their house before leaving. Given Mrs. Molly's enthusiasm, she might come to clean the house often.
Rui Mengmeng nodded: "Okay, you are so kind, I will go out to buy some ingredients, do you need help to bring anything?"
Zhang Da also handed him a few large bills and said, "Buy a copy of the newspapers from the past few days. I don't know if there are any major events recently."
"Okay." Rui Mengmeng took the money and went out. After a while, she came back and said, "Boss, there is a letter in the mailbox at the door. It seems to be written to Altria."
"Hmm?" Altria swallowed what she had in her mouth, wiped her hands, and took the letter from Rui Mengmeng.
"Who sent it?" Zhang Da was also surprised. He hadn't received a letter for such a long time, so why did Altria receive it?
Zhang Daye and Rui Mengmeng suddenly remembered Vander Decken’s behavior. Could it be that someone sent a love letter to Altria?
"It's Vice Admiral Gion." Altria's words dispelled the two people's doubts.
"Vice Admiral Gion?" Zhang Da was even more puzzled. "Why did she suddenly write to you and invite you to join the navy?"
"Not really." Altria quickly glanced through the letter and said, "Didn't he say last time that he would come to discuss swordsmanship with me when he was free? He came once the day before yesterday but we were not there, so he left a letter in the mailbox."
Zhang Da also remembered the last time Gion came to visit after Hawkeye left: "Oh~ It seems that happened. He didn't come for a long time after he said that. I thought it was just a polite remark."
"Besides saying that he would visit again in a few days, he also complained a little about the recent setbacks and seemed to want to catch a certain pirate but failed." Altria summarized the contents of the letter and handed the letter to Zhang Daya.
"Probably because Doflamingo was not caught again? Last time we gave her a Den Den Mushi from Doflamingo's men." Zhang Daye took the letter and felt uncomfortable all over after taking a look at it.
It would be fine if there were some endearing terms like "jiang" and "qin" between the lines, but why does every sentence sound like it was written in a coquettish tone, with a heart-shaped symbol at the end?
A thin piece of letter paper exuded the scent of lilies. It was amazing that Altria could read it so calmly.
And this woman Taotu really has no good intentions!
