Chapter 312: Magic Cooking
After putting the shirt on his body, Su Xiao took out a map and started searching for the right place.
He was going to eat and at the same time wanted to find a master of his craft.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the east side of "Water 7" and saw a small boat moored there.
It was a small floating restaurant.
At one end of the boat, there was only one dining table for three people, and at the other end of the boat, pots and pans with other cooking appliances were neatly arranged.
There were no customers on the boat. It only showed a thin old man who was sleeping and drooling. This old man was 1.2 meters tall, his hair was white, and he was missing a few teeth.
The old man was sleeping soundly with an empty wine bottle in his hand. He seemed to be completely defenseless, but Su Xiao didn't dare to get too close to him.
This old man was like a lion, and even though this lion was old, it didn't stop being a lion because of this.
Su Xiao carefully stepped onto the boat, but didn't wake up the old man, and instead waited.
After about ten minutes, the thin old man seemed to have difficulty breathing and choked on his saliva, causing him to wake up immediately.
The old man opened his eyes, picked up the bottle first and wanted to drink some, but unfortunately, the bottle was empty.
— The old man looked at Su Xiao with sleepy eyes. — I don't see clients at noon, come back in the evening — " the old man didn't seem at all interested in the new client and he closed his eyes after a moment.
— I've heard that there's an incredible chef on this island who really likes to drink. I specially brought a bottle of good wine with me for this, " Su Xiao said and showed the bottle of wine.
The old man shook his head when he saw the bottle in Su Xiao's hands with an unknown label.
He had never seen such wine before.
— Come back tonight...
Su Xiao immediately opened the bottle, and the wine aroma quickly spread over the small boat.
The fragrance was very soft and very attractive.
— This... what kind of wine is this? The old man swallowed, stood up, and with some effort, walked towards Su Xiao on his shaky legs.
Seeing the old man's legs made Su Xiao a little anxious.
This old man's legs seemed like they could break at any moment.
— Let me try it.
Su Xiao handed the bottle to the old man.
He took it in his shaking hands and took a sip.
As the liquid passed down his throat, the old man's face immediately turned red and his eyes widened.
*Gulp-gulp*
The old man immediately took a couple of big gulps.
— Good wine.
The old man's body trembled as he drank almost half of the bottle at a time.
The old man fell to the floor with a blissful face, but the bottle was quickly placed near his mouth and he continued to drink.
Su Xiao was speechless.
Ignoring the old man, he looked at the picture of a man and a blond boy with a face full of bruises.
The young man in the photo was this old man, and the blond boy was Zeff.
Zeff is a famous and one of the best chefs, a former captain of the Coca pirates, known as " Red Foot».
Zeff had once been a disciple of this old man, and most importantly, in his youth, he was no weaker than the pirates, whose bounty on the head exceeded one billion belly.
If Su Xiao's guess was correct, then this old man knew Armament Hacks and Surveillance Hacks.
After waiting for an hour, the old man finally woke up again.
— Old people can't drink so much wine at once.
The old man shook his head at this. He may have seemed weak, but he wasn't.
The old man, shivering, went to the stove, picked up a kitchen knife, and began to cook.
Su Xiao wasn't very interested in cooking. Even though he was a good cook, he wasn't ready to learn this path.
A few minutes later, a plate of steaming seafood noodles was placed in front of Su Xiao.
— I don't drink for free, try this, " the old man staggered back to his seat and sat down.
Picking up the bottle of wine, he continued to drink it with a blissful expression on his face. This fine wine from earth captured this old man's heart.
Since Su Xiao was hungry, he didn't refuse and immediately started eating the seafood noodles.
After a few seconds, he stopped.
He never would have thought that such a simple dish could be so delicious.
It was definitely the most delicious food he had ever eaten.
— Hahaha, my cooking is good, do you still have this kind of wine?
Su Xiao shook his head. He wasn't going to negotiate with him at a time like this.
— The old man paused, and when Su Xiao finished eating, he got up and started to leave.
— Kid, you didn't just come here for food, right?
Su Xiao looked at the old man out of the corner of his eye. — I am a swordsman, " and he stepped ashore.
The old man licked his lips and tasted the fine wine, nodding.
— Baby! The old man shouted, and Su Xiao turned around.
— You have to be patient during your training, and you don't have to be impatient. You were too anxious and ended up hurting your ankle. From now on, take breaks after every two hours. Come to my place at night, I'll make you a good meal.
Su Xiao was very pleased, but his expression didn't change.
— Su Xiao took out one bottle of wine and placed it on the side of the boat.
— Didn't you say that you don't have any more wine? The old man looked at Su Xiao thoughtfully, then grinned.
— This is a very rare wine. I only have a few bottles left.
The old man didn't even doubt his words, because he had never even seen such wine before.
— Come back more often from now on.
— Su Xiao turned around and left.
After this hike, Su Xiao continued to practice Sora for the rest of the day and, as the old man advised, took breaks after every two hours of training.
At 5:30, Su Xiao came to see the old man.
When the old man saw Su Xiao, he took down a large bowl of soup from the stove.
— Try it, " he said, and set a bowl of soup in front of him.
Su Xiao saw mushrooms, herbs, and a huge amount of other ingredients.
Scooping up some soup, he quickly swallowed it. This soup didn't taste too good and was slightly bitter.
After swallowing a few spoonfuls, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
A notification from Paradise appeared in front of him.
[The hunter drank some of the secret medicinal soup.
The maximum amount of Hunter health was permanently increased by 10 points and stamina was increased, however, since the increase was less than 1 point, the change was not reflected in the statistics..
This soup will only increase the Hunter's stats once, and subsequent uses won't add any stats..]
Su Xiao's stomach began to warm up, and he felt his entire body begin to relax.
Soon, even his ankle stopped aching.
— My healing food isn't bad, is it? Even Siki and Roger came to me for my cooking.
The old man seemed to have already understood Su Xiao's intentions long ago.
— I really liked your wine. You can come back every night, and I'll prepare medicinal dishes for you. All I want from you is a bottle of this wine.
Su Xiao didn't care if he saw through him. He helped the old man, and the old man helped him. It was an equivalent exchange.
He took out another bottle of good wine, but another one, and handed it to the old man.
He still didn't even know the old man's name, so he decided to just call him " Wine Lover».
He wasn't interested in his name or background. It was enough for him that he was very strong and could feed him delicious and healthy food. Nothing else mattered.
— Wow, delicious taste, although it is different from what you gave me earlier in the day, they are both beautiful views with their own characteristics—".
There are three days left before the Straw Hat Pirates arrive at " Water 7».
Su Xiao wanted to collect as much profit as possible before they arrived.
At the very least, he wanted to learn Soru, and with this old man's help, it wouldn't be too difficult.
