Chapter 8: A Powerful Sense of Smell
Through the gap, Rui could clearly see the wooden beams below, perhaps because he was thinner than before, Rui jumped from the gap very easily, and his body landed steadily on the beam.
This is the beam above the kitchen, the beam is relatively wide, but it can easily cover Rui's thin body.
"Four bottles of rum, plus a medium-rare steak, table four!" The waiter walked into the kitchen from outside, posted a small list on the kitchen notice board, and then brought another dish to the other guests' tables. The waiter basically comes in and tells the customer what he ordered, and he will also bring out the dish that the previous customer ordered has already been done.
The whole kitchen seems to be very busy, there are a lot of chores, there are also many chefs, this is the chef is said to be a senior chef from the sea restaurant, the craftsmanship is very good, at least the guests who have come here to eat once, almost all of them are full of praise for this place, and Rui and Anna have also tasted the food here, but by the way.
"Applejack! You've got your rum ready! Three points of water, this time the guests seem to be regular customers, don't mix too much water! A fat middle-aged cook instructed the young man next to him while roasting the steak in front of him very leisurely.
"Hey!"
The young man, Applejack, was clearly aware of the process, and was very familiar with picking up two scoops of clear rum from one side of the barrel, and exchanging a small half scoop from the sugar water on the other. These are mixed together, and then they are easily poured into the bottles, and soon the four bottles of "rum" are ready.
At the same time, the fat chef also cooked the steak, pulled a piece of washed leaf and placed it on the bottom of the plate, and placed the steak on top of the leaf, and the steak was declared complete.
Of course, the kitchen is not limited to this place, and the waiters who are constantly coming in and out can highlight how popular this restaurant really is, not only the navy often comes here to consume, but even some wealthy merchants from small towns often come here to eat and drink, and even some pirates in disguise will come here from time to time to sit here.
However, Rui's eyes were not on the cooks, but on the fat-bellied man who had been sleeping on a rickeping chaise long. The fat man was not wearing any chef's clothes, just the clothes of a very casual and simple resident of the town of Morsa, and his fat body lying on the chair was gently jolting as the chair swayed up and down, and his face was covered with a newspaper, and there was a snoring sound.
Although he was sleeping, Rui always felt that this person's eyes were constantly staring at him through the newspaper.
Is this just the illusion that I'm starving?
Immediately, Rui also put these feelings behind him, after all, such a guy who was already snoring with a newspaper on his head, he should not be able to see himself no matter what, thinking of this, Rui was very familiar with the next step.
Carefully climbing from the beam at one end of the chimney to the other end of the wall, the kitchen is square, and the wall on the left is the stove, the stove, the grill, etc., and there is a walkway around it, and there is also a small circle in the middle, in the shape of a round table, on which various ingredients are placed.
Climb to the top of the round table, below is a hollow area, there is almost nothing in the middle, Rui used to jump directly to the bottom, and then squat under the round table, from time to time with his hands to steal a little food to hide in and eat. At the same time, Rui does not steal a whole dish, but only a part, so that at most he will suspect that the dish is small and will not suspect that the dish has been stolen.
"Whew!"
Swish!
Taking a deep breath, Rui landed in the center of the round table very sensitively, bent down, and no one noticed that someone had just jumped from it.
However, except for one person, this simple and obese man who had been paying attention to Rui before, the corners of his mouth under the newspaper were filled with a slight smile, his eyes did not open, but everything in the entire kitchen seemed to have been imprinted in his mind in his mind.
From the moment Rui entered the kitchen beam, he had already been carefully watched by this fat man who was "asleep" on a chaise longue.
I remember you.. Gremlin!
However, Rui hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, and he saw that the chef was all facing away from this side, and he got up at a great speed, and snatched a few pieces of meat and a bottle of rum from the plate at a rapid pace.
"Huh?!" Applejack turned around and wondered slightly, but reluctantly exchanged for the rum of the three-part water and seven-point wine again.
I just redeemed four bottles, am I mistaken?
After eating a few pieces of meat and taking a sip of rum, Rui just felt a refreshing feeling that he had never felt before. After being hungry for about four or five days, Raymond estimated that he had eaten three meals since he fell ill, and all of them were only carefully fed by Anna. Although the system shows that the physical condition will return to its peak after five days, it is only to cure the leukemia, and the original functions of the body need to be solved by Rui himself.
Since you know that this is a world where pirates are everywhere and there are as many navies as dogs, then what is said Rui must also let his strength improve in a short period of time, otherwise how can he say that he is also a dignified reborn crossing the party, how can he be lost with everyone?
Although the ability of this dog fruit was devoured by the system, I don't know if it was Rui's illusion, anyway, his sense of smell was at least nearly five times higher than before.
Although the system will devour the fruit, it seems that some of the abilities of the fruit itself will still be reflected in the body, but abilities such as beast transformation seem to no longer exist. In general, Rui found that the system devouring the fruit was not a complete devour, but the ability to devour most of it, but a little bit of the function remained.
Smelling the aroma of the wine coming from the bottle, Rui could even smell other smells next to the bottle, such as the sea breeze on the bottle of wine from the dock porters in the morning, and the smell of sawdust being packed into wooden boxes. As for most of the ingredients of the wine, Rui can also smell seven, seven, eight or eight.
However, none of this is important to Rui now, after swallowing a few mouthfuls of meat in a row, Rui is also much more comfortable, and he has been hungry for too long and even does not feel too much about the temperature on his body.
Now the cold feeling of the limbs is constantly transmitted to the brain, making Rui Leng shiver. There are no shoes on his feet at all, although he is wearing a few pieces of adult clothes that he has picked up, which looks nondescript, but because it is too loose, it also makes Rui feel very cold, but fortunately, the cold here is the kitchen, and it goes quickly, and at the same time, the alcohol on his body is gradually spreading, and unconsciously Rui even feels some faint fever very comfortable.
Woohoo!
"Hmm... This roasted whole sheep is really lazy, and it can smell fishy! ”
After eating the few steaks he had just stolen, Rui now aimed at the food outside again, his nose moved slightly, and then Rui muttered quietly. It seems that his physical strength has recovered somewhat, and gradually Rui has a basic grasp of his ability.
While the group of chefs were not looking at this side, Rui did not attack the roasted whole lamb in front of him, but stood on tiptoe and touched the cheese that looked inconspicuous in the distance.
"Interesting!"
The obese man with the newspaper on his face also seemed to be able to take the whole kitchen in his eyes through the newspaper, and when he saw that Rui did not take the roasted whole lamb that seemed more delicious, but instead took the most inconspicuous plate of cheese in the near and far, but laughed silently.
