Chapter 84 Unkind
On the sea, a huge ship is sailing slowly. The hull is solid and slender, and the wood surface has been carefully polished to an almost mirror-clear finish. On the sail is embroidered a green dragon with its fangs and claws bared in the clouds, and even its scales and hair are clearly visible. Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this ship is definitely not ordinary, and the people on board must be either rich or noble.

On the sea, such a wealthy ship was as dazzling as a torch in the dark night, and the pirates around it followed closely like moths attracted by the flames.

On the small boat, the pirates were whispering to each other.

"Brother, this ship looks really good. If we can get it, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives."

"That's right. What are we waiting for? Let's get started. If someone else gets there first, we won't get any benefits."

The boss touched his chin and said, the ship is a good ship, and the wealth is real wealth, but he is afraid that he will have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it.

Such a luxurious ship is sailing alone on the sea without even a casual guard around. This unusual situation makes people feel that something is wrong.

"Big brother!"

The boss saw the fanatical faces of his younger brothers around him and became determined.

Find wealth in danger!
Instead of living as a coward, you might as well give it a try!
"on!"

Hearing the boss' order, the younger brothers shouted, puffed up their energy and rowed the boat, and the speed of the boat immediately increased.

Seeing that this ship had seized the initiative, the other pirates around became anxious and rowed their boats hard to get closer to the ship.

On the big ship, a crew member noticed the movement nearby and quickly ran into the cabin to report.

"Sir, the pirates from all around are gathering here."

A young man said disdainfully: "Humph, if they want to die, then let them do it."

The old man sitting upright nodded slightly.

The three people in the room clasped their fists and bowed, then walked out the door.

One of them stretched and said, "I have been stuck in the cabin for a while, and my bones are getting rusty. I'd like to take this opportunity to stretch my muscles."

Another person said: "I'm afraid these people are not enough for us to warm up."

The last one was older and calmer than the other two. "Don't get blood on your hands. The chefs in Guangzhou are not easy to deal with. If your hands are stained with blood, the murderous intent in your heart will be difficult to dissipate, and the dishes you make will not be pure enough. If you fail to suppress the arrogance of the Guangzhou chefs and delay the important business of the adults, you two will be guilty."

"I know, I know."

The two of them responded perfunctorily, but they were very alert in their hearts.

"Kill!"

The pirates' boat approached the ship, with ropes hooked on the edge of the boat. They climbed up easily along the ropes, shouting to boost their own morale.

This tactic was very effective. When the people on the merchant ships passing by heard their shouts and screams, they were so scared that they dared not move and allowed them to plunder the merchant ships clean.

This time, however, something went wrong.

As soon as the pirates jumped onto the boat, their eyes suddenly blurred. They didn't even have a chance to resist before they were kicked into the sea.

The pirates who jumped onto the boat were like dumplings being dropped into the water. They were kicked away by a huge force one by one and could only fall into the sea and struggle helplessly.

Suddenly, many soldiers armed with bows and crossbows appeared on the large ship. They drew their bows and shot the pirates who fell into the sea one by one.

The sea water was instantly dyed red.

The other pirates who had not had time to get close were frightened when they saw this scene and quickly rowed away.

This is not a pool of wealth and honor, it is clearly the Palace of Yama.

It was a close combat, and the outcome was decided in just over ten minutes.

The young man was still a little dissatisfied, "I haven't even tried my best, and it's over? Pirates are getting worse and worse nowadays." Another person said, "If you are not satisfied, why not join the army? If you are lucky, you can join Admiral Li's army."

The young man scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I would like to go, but people have to think highly of me."

The elder said, "You must perform well this time. Lord Wu and Admiral Li are old acquaintances. If your performance satisfies Lord Wu, he will then write you a letter of recommendation and allow you to work under Admiral Li smoothly."

The young man was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Another person also said at this time: "I heard that Lord Wu went to the Imperial City at the invitation of Admiral Li. So the relationship between the two of them should be very good."

The young man's eyes became firm, "I will definitely not let you down, Master Wu!"

After that, the journey was smooth and we arrived in Guangzhou before sunset.

At the pier, luxurious ships slowly docked at the shore.

Elder Li, leading a group of elders from the Guangdong Chefs Association, had been welcoming them at the dock for a long time.

The first people to get off the boat were three young men, all of them strong and healthy, with a unique sense of rhythm as they walked.

Master Luo Tian's eyes narrowed and he sighed inwardly, these three people are extremely skilled.

People with good skills may not necessarily be good cooks, but generally all highly skilled chefs are agile.

These three people walked like dragons, with extraordinary aura and self-assured demeanor. They must be extraordinary people.

The last person to come down was a white-haired old man with a gentle and friendly face, and there seemed to be a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Only the occasional gleam in his eyes was as sharp as a knife, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Elder Li walked over quickly and said with emotion, "Elder Wu, I haven't seen you for many years. You look almost unchanged. You are still as vigorous as ever."

Elder Wu shook his head and said, "I am old. Time is not forgiving. Look at my head full of white hair. How can it be compared with the past? I am just an old man half buried in the ground."

Elder Li smiled and said, "I am the same."

The two looked at each other, pointed at each other's wrinkles on their faces and the white hair on their heads, and burst into laughter.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, the other elders felt relieved and said in a low voice, "It seems the atmosphere is good."

Shen Hong sighed: "It's just a smile with a knife hidden in the heart."

He didn't believe that Wu Cheng came back this time just to reminisce with them.

It would be easier to negotiate if you made your attitude clear at the beginning.

The more harmonious the atmosphere is now, the more confident Elder Wu is in controlling them.

Shen Hong glanced at the three young men following Elder Wu, and he suddenly felt uneasy. His bad premonition became more and more obvious.

Elder Li said, "Elder Wu, let's not sit here and enjoy the sea breeze. I have already prepared a banquet at the Guangchu Association to welcome you all."

"Alas, it's just an old man visiting his hometown. Why make such a fuss? Just eat something casually."

"That won't do. You only come back once in so many years, how can you just make do with it?"

"Ok."

The elders surrounded the four people, and they went to the Guangdong Chefs Association in a friendly manner, chatting and laughing all the way.

But things were not so relaxed in the Guangdong Chefs Association. All the chefs heard the news and knew that a powerful character was coming this time. They all put their utmost attention and used their best cooking skills. They must not let the people from the Imperial City look down on them!
The fragrance of Guangchulian fills the courtyard, and the wafting aroma makes passers-by stop and take a deep breath. Even if you have already eaten, the aroma still whets your appetite, making your stomach growl.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow
