Pirate: I become stronger when I sell barbecue

Chapter 14

The day before the opening, Louis suffered from insomnia.

He was just as nervous as when he first went to sell barbecue on the street before he traveled through time. He was more or less unconfident in his heart, always afraid that the barbecue he made would be unpalatable to customers.

Perhaps he was too obsessed with the barbecue stall. Before he traveled through time, he always wanted to make barbecue that everyone liked. The taste of barbecue is affected by ingredients, seasonings, auxiliary materials, heat and barbecue methods. This means that it takes a lot of time to make delicious barbecue.

During the years when he set up a stall to sell barbecue before traveling through time, Louis would spend a long time studying the combination of seasonings and ingredients every time he closed the stall and went home in the middle of the night. So much so that each ingredient took dozens of times more time to study, so in his short barbecue career, he only learned to grill kidneys, grill chicken legs and grill scallops.

However, in the eight or nine years in Tangzhi Village before, he only helped his family's barbecue shop with chores, and he hadn't made barbecue for a long time, so he seemed unfamiliar.

Now he is a little unconfident when he picks up this old skill again.

Midnight, three o'clock in the morning.

Luffy finally fell asleep, but Louis was still tossing and turning.

Finally, he simply put on his pajamas and went to the large yard in front of Dadan's house to set up a clay oven, just like every time before setting up a stall to test his condition today and the level of his barbecue skills.

He customized the clay oven from a craftsman. It was in the shape of a round cone.

There was a large hole on the lower side for placing firewood, and the upper side was covered with an iron mesh for grilling meat.

He brought two chicken legs from the kitchen, as well as some seasonings and auxiliary ingredients.

As for the golden wood fire, the employees (bandits) had already prepared it and placed it in an open space by the wall in the yard.

First, apply salad oil evenly on the iron mesh, and then apply a layer of honey sauce ingredients, and then you can put the chicken legs on the iron mesh for grilling.

Louis completed each step of the grilling method according to his memory.

The first dozen steps were smooth, but the last step made him embarrassed.

Using golden wood fire as fuel is much more complicated than controlling the temperature of charcoal. It is extremely difficult to control the temperature when burning firewood, and this happens to be the key to barbecue. Whether the roasted meat is fragrant and tender is affected by the temperature of the fire in addition to the meat itself.

How can we control the temperature when using golden wood fire?

Louis couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if we had the Flame-Flame Fruit.

It's great to use the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit to control the temperature at will. It feels like the Flame-Flame Fruit is a magic weapon specially prepared for chefs.

But Louis also knows the side effects of the devil fruit. He can't touch the sea water. He will be weak if he touches the seastone. For Louis, this is simply unbearable.

If he can't swim or surf at the beach, his leisure time will be very boring.

It is said that Ace only ate the Flame-Flame Fruit after going out to sea. If Ace and him do barbecue together in the future, it will be great. But Louis has always been a person who doesn't want to interfere with other people's choices.

Everyone has his own way to go and his own choices. There is no such thing as good or bad.

But the temptation of the Flame-Flame Fruit is too great. He decided to get the Flame-Flame Fruit before Ace went out to sea, but he would never eat it himself.

Now, let's solve the current problem first.

Before crossing, he had some knowledge of how to control the temperature of firewood.

Generally, the temperature is controlled through a bellows, and the principle used is also very simple: the contact area between the combustible and the oxygen.

Learn physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel around the world.

If you can't use magic, use technology. The same is true in the world of pirates.

The navy has been secretly developing technological weapons to fight against the powerful devil fruit pirates, which is a confrontation between technology and magic. There are also rumors that the mysterious scientist Vegapunk of the navy is secretly researching the ultimate weapon, whose power can destroy an island. It's terrifying to think about it.

Before, when Louis was strolling in the windmill village, he occasionally heard that this Vegapunk was still a girl. If it was true, she would be a genius.

Louis couldn't help but sigh that Vegapunk, a little girl, was designing the ultimate weapon, while he, a little brat, was still worrying about a small bellows. People really can't be compared, the more you compare, the more annoying it is.

But when I thought that I had a system, it would be fine, and I suddenly became energetic. As long as you can survive until your strength breaks through the ceiling of the pirate world, you can walk sideways in the entire pirate world.

Louis couldn't help but grin, then yawned.

Getting up at three in the morning to practice barbecue, there was probably no one in the whole Windmill Village who was more diligent than him, although it was only for tonight.

Thinking of this, he always felt very comfortable.

As for the making of the bellows, he couldn't figure it out, so he might as well ask the carpenter tomorrow. If it doesn't work, he will think of other ways then. This is the only way tonight. He was indeed a little sleepy, so he went to the bedroom to sleep in his pajamas.......

The old woman Dadan has not been out fishing much recently. She has placed a rocking chair and a tea table in the yard, where she smokes, drinks tea and reads newspapers. She couldn't help but curse softly:

"Shanks is not only a pirate himself, but he also instigated Luffy. What a bastard!"

Dadan kept shaking the chair, making it squeak.

After a while, he exclaimed alone:

"It has only been a few years since he left Windmill Village, and he has a bounty of over 1 billion. He is quite a man. I wonder how he will develop in the future?!"

At this time, Louis had just finished breakfast and came out of the room, stretching his waist and legs. After a set of movements, he greeted Dadan:

"Aunt Dadan, good morning."

Dadan turned around and saw Louis, then turned back to read the newspaper and said calmly:

"Good morning, the sun is shining on my butt."

Louis' mouth twitched. This old woman Dadan was also a topic terminator. But fortunately, he was still strong inside and had some talent for social bull.

He scratched his head and smiled:

"That's it."

Dadan rolled his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke, and continued:

"How's the barbecue stall going?"

"We can open the store soon, but there are still a few small problems to be solved.

Dadan then turned around and looked at Louis and said

"It's up to you. Just pay the rent for the three of you brothers and my salary."

Louis walked to Dadan with a smile and said:

"Aunt Dadan, don't worry, I, Louis, guarantee it with my integrity."

Dadan ignored him.

Louis didn't care, he just picked up the teapot and walked away slowly.

When Dadan found that the tea she had carefully brewed was gone, Louis' figure had already disappeared along with the teapot.
