Chapter 172: Mamma Mamma Da Nei~
"This is the most wonderful ship I have ever seen!" Goodman stroked the mast of the Amber with his big hands, his eyes and movements were as gentle as if he was caressing the face of a lover.
Looking at Goodman's dark circles, Zhang Daye felt more and more guilty.
Just now when Zhang Da went to Goodman's house, Goodman was still lying on the desk writing and drawing, Mrs. Molly was urging Goodman to wash up and eat, and little Bayer had already prepared his small hammer and small saw to go to the dock to build a boat.
Yes, at the age of five or six, Bayer could already try to build a small boat with some scraps. It is still unclear whether it can sink or not. His hands-on ability is really strong.
After listening to Zhang Daye's account of what happened, Goodman's face was first stunned, then shocked, and finally unconvinced. He said he would see exactly what kind of ship could satisfy Zhang Daye all at once.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have felt sorry for the hair he had pulled out that night.
Because Mrs. Molly was worried about Goodman's health and little Bayer was curious about Zhang Daye's new ship, the Goodman family came to visit the ship.
In fact, Mrs. Molly and little Baier were just there to watch the fun, and at most they would praise what was beautiful and what was interesting. Now Baier was following Tom around everywhere.
Only Goodman commented eloquently on everything from the materials to the hull structure to the design ideas, and finally concluded: "This is the best boat I have ever seen."
In fact, everyone present only heard this sentence. Just as Kami said to Neptune, what kind of ship is it? A great ship.
It was the first time Mrs. Molly had heard of someone else's work like this, so she asked, "Even your craftsmanship can't make a boat like this?"
"Of course I..." Goodman subconsciously wanted to brag, but as an excellent boat builder, he could not exaggerate his skills. He also could not admit defeat in front of his lover and children. In the end, he could only say angrily: "One day I can build a better boat!"
This is not just a simple pretense. Since becoming the best boatman in 59GR, his level basically represents the highest level in the entire Shampoo land. Of course, there are also a few people in other islands who are equally good as him, and no one is willing to admit defeat.
But today, Goodman was rarely motivated, because he had seen more excellent works, so he thought there was still room for improvement. He decided to reduce the time for chatting and bragging by one hour every day from today on, and use the time to hone his skills... No, he would start from tomorrow, at least he had to brag about the ship he saw today.
"By the way, who built this ship?"
Zhang Da also replied: "He is Mr. Dan from Fishman Island, the younger brother of Master Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder."
Goodman nodded: "No wonder, I wonder how strong Master Tom is."
Tom, who was jogging by, heard his name and slammed on the brakes. His head stopped but his body continued to rush forward, stretching his neck. He finally bounced back and saluted.
Tom, dressed in a sailor suit, tried hard to play the role of a sailor.
However, his fancy braking was too fast for little Baier, who was chasing him, to react and he bumped into Tom, and the two rolled into a ball.
"Bayer, don't run around, be careful not to break things." Mrs. Molly taught him a lesson. She didn't even care that her own son had fallen down. In her opinion, children are very tough, and if they fall and fight when they are young, they will have stronger bodies when they grow up.
"I understand." Bayer replied sullenly. He had finally untied his and Tom's legs, but for some reason he accidentally tied them into a knot.
"Tom, stop running around and take Bayer to the restaurant to get some dessert." Zhang Da also said, "Uncle Goodman, come along too. You've been busy all night and haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"I'm really a little hungry now that you mentioned that," Goodman rubbed his stomach, "Then I won't be polite."
…
As soon as Zhang Daye entered the restaurant, he saw Altria carrying more than 30 plates and putting them into the kitchen sink. Well, it was very ordinary, nothing big.
Perhaps Altria felt a little ashamed of being caught cheating, so she paused for a moment, then stiffly turned on the faucet.
The Goodman family probably thought that Zhang Daye and the others had just finished breakfast, so they were not surprised. Besides, they had seen how Zhang Daye and Tom ate, so it was not a big problem.
"Altoria, please help me get some more food." The kind-hearted Zhang Da also decided to help her ease the embarrassment.
"Okay." Altria nodded and went to the storage room. The limp hair on her head seemed to have gained vitality all of a sudden.
Tom followed with little Baier. There were so many delicious foods piled together that he hadn't thought of them just now . Now Tom wanted to take a look.
Rui Mengmeng went to the kitchen to make tea. Zhang Da also listened to Mrs. Molly talking about some family matters. Shark Chili asked Goodman some knowledge about operating and maintaining the boat.
Three minutes later, Goodman looked at the table that was full and said, "Isn't this... too exaggerated?"
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "Don't worry, it won't be wasted, just eat it."
After the meal, the Goodman family realized that the more than 30 plates were just breakfast for the little blonde girl, and everyone else hadn't eaten yet.
Little Baier's belly was bulging. He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Is Brother Tatsuya leaving soon?"
"Well, just for a few days. We'll leave after we finish some trivial matters." Zhang Da also planned to eliminate all the human traffickers whose whereabouts he knew before leaving. It was estimated that it would take two or three days to solve the problem, and then he would leave.
"That's great..." Little Baier said enviously, "I also want to go out and take a look, at least I want to go to the magical Fishman Island and take a look."
"Haha." Before Goodman could scold him for wanting to go out to sea, Zhang Da encouraged him, "When you become a good boatman like Uncle Goodman, I will take you to Fishman Island to play."
"Really?" Little Baier jumped up from his chair.
"Really." Zhang Da also touched Bayer's head, thinking that it was a pity that he didn't have the habit of wearing a hat, otherwise it would be nice to give him a hat and encourage him to become the man who is the king of boatmen.
But in the end, Zhang Da also took out a saw from his inventory and gave it to him: "Work hard, maybe I'll need your help to repair the boat in the future."
[Tom's Handsaw: This is a saw with endless possibilities, for example - use it to build a doghouse for Spike.]
Little Bayer held the hand saw as if he had found a treasure, and said with great enthusiasm: "I will become a better boatman than my father!"
Mrs. Molly wanted to say something, but Goodman stopped her by shaking his head. It would take many years for Bayer to become a formal shipwright, and by then it would not be up to him to decide whether he was outstanding or not.
Goodman laughed and scolded: "Don't get carried away, you are still far from it!"
