In the next few days, Bharati Restaurant finally ended the cold scene when it first opened, and ushered in a period of rapid development.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that Zhepu's advertisements finally worked, or perhaps the number of merchant ships passing by the nearby sea increased, and from the next day onwards, the number of customers coming and going in and out of the restaurant became endless, and by the time the meal arrived, the hall was filled with more than half of the seats.

And Zhepu's chef recruitment plan is also going smoothly, in five days, the restaurant has four more chefs and six or seven waiters, plus the previous Piedikar, although the number is still not too much, but it is enough to cope with the current situation.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called things gather people in groups, and the four new chefs have the same bad temperament as Piedikar, and they are all thorns who are not afraid of things, but their cooking skills are very good, which can be said to be very good for Zhepu's appetite.

After joining Bharati, the rest is okay, the most unhappy and incomprehensible thing for this group of arrogant guys is naturally the head chef of the restaurant, who will actually be a little kid like Xia Nuo.

So, in the next few days, openly and secretly, all kinds of provocations and troubles have become the daily routine of these guys.

Unfortunately, they never expected that they were facing a guy with a worse temperament than theirs......

………………

Boom!

With a dull loud thud, a tall figure flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, and slammed into the base of the wall, raising a cloud of dust.

"Hmm, there's no ...... to go on?"

On the aft deck, Xia Nuo spat out the grass roots that had been chewed in his mouth, his eyes as still as water, and he glanced at the people around him.

At this moment, his body leaned slightly in the morning breeze, holding Lake Toya in his arms, as if he had been standing there quietly and had never made a sword, but the chefs who were watching next to him could see it clearly just now, and the two new chefs in a row didn't even have a chance to get close, so they flew out after a flash of cold light. The difference in strength between the two is even farther than the distance between Bharati and Rogue Town.

Therefore, seeing Xia Nuo looking over at this moment, the remaining two cooks immediately broke down in a cold sweat, hurriedly waved their hands, and asked their heads like rattles: "No...... Without! ”

Paddy and Carl next to him looked at each other with schadenfreude on their faces, and couldn't help but smile and look at each other.

Hehe, who let these guys just join, the manic is almost boundless, even our two old people don't pay attention to it, and finally dare to scare this monster, and now they have blue noses and swollen faces, and finally got a lesson, right?

"It's gone, isn't it?"

After waiting for a while, Xia Nuo, who didn't hear the rest of the noise, nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, he tilted his head slightly in the direction of the back kitchen, and said lightly: "Then, let's go busy, it's not too early, prepare the ingredients, and it won't be long before there will be guests coming to the door." ”

"Yes, Chef!"

Including Paddy and Carl, the six chefs present suddenly turned grim, stood up straight with a "snap", and responded in unison.

Then they did not stay any longer, and walked through the corridor one after another, to the back kitchen, and in the blink of an eye, the stern of the boat, which had been crowded and lively, became empty and deserted again.

Looking back from the backs of Carl and the others, Xia Nuo looked back at the sky, it was early in the morning, the sun had just jumped out of the horizon, and the sunlight was like boiling molten steel, vast and majestic, dispelling the mist, reflecting the sky, and dyeing the boundless blue waves in front of him with a faint gold.

A faint bitter taste poured up from the stomach, mixed with a slightly astringent grass fragrance, surrounding his mouth, Xia Nuo didn't care, glanced at the debris that he had just spit on the ground, and silently took out an identical emerald green grass root from his trouser pocket, peeled off the crystal clear shell, gently put the hard stalk in the middle into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

This is an ingredient called "bitter bamboo grass" that Xia Nuo found in the pantry three days ago, which has a bitter and dry taste, and the reason why the restaurant reserves this is because in some special dishes, this herb is often added in small amounts as a seasoning.

And his words are to use it as a temporary refreshment of the prop, to ensure that he will not be distracted by drowsiness when he gets up in the morning, if you really want to give a chestnut, it is probably similar to the Red Bull betel nut in the previous life......

In the past few days, as the development of the restaurant has been on the right track, and the kitchen is no longer short of manpower, Xia Nuo is finally empty, and he no longer has to be busy between the kitchen and the hall all day long as before.

However, being idle does not mean easy, for Xia Nuo, becoming the world's number one swordsman is the path he pursues, and cooking is only his temporary identity, not a lifelong career. Therefore, after having ample training space, Xia no almost immediately formulated a training plan that was so strict that it was outrageous.

Get up at five o'clock in the morning and go to bed on time at nine o'clock in the evening, except for the necessary survival problems such as eating and washing, Xia Nuo spends almost all of his time on the training of wind resistance swordsmanship and basic physical literacy, and only gives a few very short intervals in the middle to meet the most basic rest needs of the body muscles.

Under this kind of high-intensity and brutal training, the effect of bitter bamboo grass can only be said to be minimal, and the bitterness that spreads in the mouth when it chews is naturally nothing compared to the real hardship of this long training process.

"So...... Let's go. ”

Facing the rising sun, Xia Nuo tightly grasped the hilt of the sword of Lake Toya, took a deep breath, shook his wrist slightly, raised it, and slashed the sword at the air, and then while repeating this action, he silently remembered the first small goal of today's training mission in his heart:

"In an hour, three thousand six hundred swings of the sword."

………………

In the fusion of sword and sweat, in the interlacing of light and darkness on the horizon, time passes day by day.

Everything is so peaceful, business at Bharati is getting better and better, regular repeat customers are starting to appear, new chefs and waiters are constantly joining, and of course, occasionally, there are old people who leave due to some accident.

In any case, this sea restaurant, which opened in the late autumn of 1511, is slowly expanding in size and popularity at a clear speed, alternating between winter and warm spring, and gradually making its own signature in the northern part of the East China Sea.

During this period, there were also newcomers who questioned Xia Nuo's cooking skills and strength, but after defeating the first batch of new chefs that day, Xia Nuo, who was in intense training day and night, did not have idleness to fight them one by one.

Fortunately, since many of the guests are pirates, there will be a dispute in the restaurant every ten days and a half.

However, every dispute did not become a big mess, because often when these disputes were still beginning to appear, the head chef who did not do his job properly and had never cooked would end the training at hand, silently come to the front desk, and use the fastest and most brutal way - beating to subdue the troublesome guests.

Under the thunderous means, not only those pirates who originally liked to make trouble will be transformed into honest customers, but these chefs who joined later gradually understood who was the strongest existence in the restaurant, so quietly, the eyes of disdain and arrogance intertwined, when Xia Nuo appeared, they would only turn into awe.

Xia Nuo naturally felt this change in the atmosphere in the restaurant, but he didn't care much about it, and still put his energy into life-fighting training all day long, like a river rushing into the sea, without stopping at all.

In the blink of an eye, six months passed so leisurely.
