Chapter 74: It is better to visit relatives and friends than to stir up trouble
It is known that Doflamingo is on the island, and the lawless area has been in turmoil these two days, so we can draw the conclusion that Mingge has been causing trouble recently, and therefore it can be concluded that the tavern is not suitable for causing trouble recently.
July 6, 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar, it is sunny. It is good to visit relatives and friends, but not to cause trouble.
So Zhang Daye and his friends just opened the shop, exercised, and ate, and didn't do anything extra.
I have drawn two valuable items in the past two days: [Rui Mengmeng's breastplate, the broken sword of Camlan battlefield]
Not to mention the breastplate, Zhang Da also took out the broken sword and handed it to Rui Mengmeng, asking her to try to recast the sword.
It was a relatively wide sword. Although it was broken, its quality was actually much better than that of an ordinary sword. It just didn't look very good when it was taken out.
Rui Mengmeng studied the broken sword for a while before asking dryly, "Boss, have I made you angry recently?"
"No."
"Then why are you making things difficult for me?" Rui Mengmeng remembered that when her previous boss wanted to make things difficult for someone, he would just assign them a very difficult task and then make a fuss about it.
I'm just making a joke. Zhang Da was speechless: "Don't think too much. I'm just going to test whether you have this superpower. If you don't have it, forget it. I'll give you the Broken Sword."
"Oh." Rui Mengmeng didn't know what the broken sword was used for, so she waved it twice casually and found it surprisingly easy to use.
"Get ready to go out. We have an appointment to visit Uncle Goodman's house today." Zhang Da also said hello and went back to the house to change clothes. He wore sportswear for exercise in the morning, but now he changed into casual clothes.
Tom had taken out a small comb and parted his hair in the middle, then smoothed it back to its original shape. I don't know what the point of combing his hair was.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng also changed into casual clothes and kept their hairstyles the same as usual, because it was not a serious social occasion, so there was no need to be too particular.
I didn’t ride a bike this time. We were all in the same town, not far away.
Rui Mengmeng saw Zhang Da also carrying the wine he bought two days ago and asked, "Is Uncle Goodman the one I saw at the dock that day?"
Altria nodded, "Yeah, I heard from Tatsuya that the Goodman family took good care of him and Tom."
But she had only seen him twice and didn't know much.
"Goodman is a very kind and enthusiastic uncle, but he likes to brag occasionally. His wife, Mrs. Molly, is very gentle and a good homemaker. Their son, Baier, is a very energetic kid who loves cool things the most."
Zhang Da also gave a brief introduction and continued, "Tom and I stayed at their home for a month. Not only did they take care of us, they also considered my self-esteem and offered me a job. They are really nice people."
"The boss is really lucky."
"Haha, I'm really lucky." Zhang Da also looked around and said, "Why don't we buy some more fruit?"
When it comes to buying food, Tom and Altria are very active. They picked and chose together and picked out a big bag of food, all of which were their favorite foods.
But, have you forgotten that this is a gift, not for you to eat?
…
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhang Da was also carrying things in both hands, and it was Tom who stood on his shoulders and knocked on the door.
"Oh, it's Tatsuya and Tom." It was Mrs. Molly who opened the door. "Who are these two?"
"Excuse me, they are Altria and Rui Mengmeng." Zhang Daye and his group were let in by Mrs. Molly.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng greeted politely, and Tom waved gently like a lucky cat to show his politeness .
Zhang Da also handed over a gift at the appropriate time.
"You're welcome. " Mrs. Molly took it happily and shouted inside, "Dear, Tatsuya-kun is here!"
Goodman came out with Byer, and he seemed to be telling Bill about the glorious deeds of his youth.
After some greetings, Mrs. Molly brought tea and a fruit plate, then took Altria and Rui Mengmeng aside to talk.
Little Byers and Tom started playing together - after being an apprentice for a while, he wanted to show Tom the toys he made out of wood.
In other words, Tom was too lazy to move and just cooperated with him to fiddle with those little things. Otherwise, he would definitely let him know what it meant to show off one's skills in front of an expert.
Goodman immediately saw the gift Zhang Daye brought: "This kind of wine is not common."
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "As long as you like it, I specially asked Uncle Gulagas to prepare it."
"Guragas, have you been purchasing goods from him?" Goodman asked.
"Yes, that's the contact information Uncle Bob left at that time." Zhang Da was also curious, "Is there anything wrong with this person?"
"Not really, but I've heard some rumors about him." Goodman recalled, "It is said that when he was young, he was reckless and impulsive, often causing trouble after drinking, and once had a fight with a big pirate. I don't know what the result was, but not long after, he became a wine merchant, and his personality gradually became much kinder."
"Big pirate? Who is he?" Even if you have read the comics, you may not be familiar with every big pirate. For example, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi and others, you have no idea what their abilities are or what they have done.
Goodman shook his head: "That's not clear. Anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal to do business with him, but just don't provoke him."
"I understand." Zhang Da also nodded and smiled, "I'm a businessman, there's no reason for me to offend my suppliers."
"Haha, that's true."
Zhang Daye and the others didn't stay for too long. They just briefly chatted about their recent situation and then said goodbye.
On the way back, Zhang Da also asked curiously: "Altria, do you feel that Gragas is very strong?"
"I don't have any special feelings. But some people are good at hiding their auras. I may not be able to detect them as long as they don't take action." Altria asked, "Do you need to test it?"
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "That's not necessary. We are not the Snake Shield Agency. We have no business dealing with other people's special abilities."
"Hey, by the way, what did you two talk about with Mrs. Molly?"
Rui Mengmeng didn't want to say it, so Altria said frankly: "She just asked about our origins and preferences, and then spent most of the time praising you."
Zhang Daye: “…” This way of chatting is a bit subtle.
Zhang Da didn't delve into the specific content. He felt that the two of them wanted to talk more about what to eat for lunch.
While they were chatting simply, Zhang Da grabbed Tom, who was about to go into the store after smelling the fragrance.
The sound of rhythmic footsteps attracted their attention.
The only ones who can make such disciplined footsteps on this island are probably the navy. Is there any action being taken?
Zhang Da also turned around and was surprised by the scene in front of him:
Female soldiers. All the navy members in this team are female soldiers. Such troops are rare in the navy.
As expected, the leader was a kind-looking old woman with gray hair—a veteran of the same era as Garp and Sengoku, Vice Admiral of the Navy, Tsuru.
