Bibiko Island doesn't seem too big, but it has a natural mooring bay. When Ian stands on the boat and looks out, he can see many ships of all kinds moored in the port.
There are not only merchant and fishing boats, but also pirate ships and naval warships. The strange thing is that these ships are all docked together without incident.
Bill saw Ian's strangeness, so he explained to him: "The main source of income of this island is catering, which is mainly supported by the pirates who come and go on the great route, so here, even the navy can We can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as the pirates don't make trouble, the navy will not take the initiative to arrest them, of course, the high bounty is an exception."
"Is this a kind of tacit understanding and compromise reached between the navy and the local residents?" Ian said.
"Yes!" Bill shrugged and said, "If all the pirates are caught, no one will come to this island. The navy also has their difficulties. If the economy of this island is sacrificed for justice, when the time comes People who can't survive will also become pirates, this is an unsolvable proposition at all."
Ian also sighed a little when he heard it. The situation in this world really cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. It is obvious that pirates are a kind of danger, but some people have to rely on pirates to survive.
In this regard, Ian can only understand that existence is reasonable.
"Besides, it's not only the navy that doesn't dare to mess around here, the pirates don't dare to mess around here either!" Bill said mysteriously: "As for the reason, you'll understand when you go to the island."
As the fleet of merchant ships began to dock, the pier was already full of people. These were merchants from Bibiko Island who came to welcome the merchant fleet.
As I said before, the flagship Ian is on is filled with spices, which are the most popular items on Bibiko Island. Besides, all the other ships in the caravan carry wine. , These drinks are also a huge consumption of materials on the island. The purpose of the caravan is very clear. The goods they transport are all prepared for Bibiko Island.
Since the purpose of the caravan was set at the beginning, and Ian came with the caravan, it is impossible for him to fly their Whiskey Hill route on foot, and in fact, Ian has no intention of repeating it. other people's adventures. [oM]
At this time, Roland Gale finally became prestige again, commanding the sailors on the ship to unload the goods, and at the same time bargaining with the merchants who came to buy. He is one of the heads of several chambers of commerce in the fleet, and he is also a nobleman. , so he is naturally in charge of buying and selling.
These are not related to Ian. In fact, successfully escorting the caravan here means that his task has been completed, so he picked up his package and followed Bill off the ship.
As soon as I stepped on the ground, I felt warm and comfortable under my feet. Apart from the fragrance, the air in this island also exudes a kind of heat. The whole island feels like a tropical island with a relatively high temperature.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a very famous store! It's worth the trip to keep you!" Bill pulled Ian and said, because Ian rescued him several times on the boat, Bill has a good impression of Ian, so he decided dinner.
There was a treat, and Ian would naturally not be polite, and followed Bill all the way into the city.
After entering the city, Ian finally understood why this place is called the City of Barbecue! In this city, nine out of ten shops sell barbecue! Few other ways to eat and drink, all BBQ!
Ian finally understood why Bill said that this is the reason why the whole island is having barbecues.
Moreover, the barbecues sold on this island are not baked with charcoal fire, but with a very special stone. The stones are basically 20 to 30 centimeters in size, and the oval ones are smooth, but the colors are different. , black, cyan, and even orange, so many colors.
Whenever a guest comes to eat barbecue, the store here first asks the guest to choose, not the food, but the stone! After specifying the color of the stone, the store will move out the corresponding stone and put it on the customer's table, and then serve the ingredients. The customer only needs to hang the cut ingredients in the air, put them on top of the stone, and keep turning them It's ok, because the stone seems to have a very high temperature, and when the ingredients are put on it, there will be a sizzling sound, and it will be cooked in a while.
Ian was amazed by this method, it felt like a volcanic stone barbecue.
Sure enough, Bill quickly explained to him: "This island is actually a volcanic island. A very unique volcanic rock is produced here. The collected volcanic rock has a very high temperature. People use these rocks to bake. According to the color of the volcanic stone, the taste and flavor of the baked food are different, very delicious.”
Smelling the fragrance in the air, and being stimulated by the various barbecues on the street, Ian felt more and more hungry, and couldn't wait to follow Bill straight to the shop he mentioned.
This is indeed a very famous store. You can tell by the customers in the lobby. There are all kinds of people, including tourists with fashionable clothes, pirates who eat and drink boldly, and even Ian In the corner, I also saw a few navy soldiers, munching hard.
Ian has never seen such a thing as a pirate and a navy eating in the same shop, but here, it is a very common thing.
Bill pulled Ian to sit down in front of a table, and soon a waiter came over to greet them. Bill ordered a lot of things in one go, grilled vegetables, roast beef, roast lamb, grilled fish, grilled seafood, and even There are also grilled sea beasts and sea kings, but the latter two are more expensive and ordered less.
Baking stones were also brought up, in several colors, and these stones were placed on a special tray surrounded by grills.
Ian couldn't wait to pick up a skewer of beef and grilled fish, and put them on an orange stone grill to grill them. After a short while, he stuffed them into his mouth.
In the next second, Ian's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the food baked in this way is so delicious!
It is said that food grilled without charcoal fire will lack a smoky taste. Ian originally thought that the same is true for food grilled with stones. Who would have thought that after putting it into his mouth, he would find that not only the smoky flavor of barbecue, but also the meat quality It's very delicate, not to mention these things, but there is also a unique taste in it, Ian can't tell what it is, it is probably brought by the orange volcanic stone.
After one bite, the gravy burst out in the mouth, and I only felt that the mouth was full of satisfaction.
Ian let out a long breath, feeling that what he ate on the boat these two days was all pig food compared to this barbecue!
So he didn't care about being polite to Bill, and quickly picked up a skewer of barbecued meat, and put some on the stones of each color for roasting. Sure enough, after tasting carefully, he would find that the stones of each color , The taste of roasting is slightly different, and there will be an extra special taste.
Bill looked at him with a smile on his face, then called the waiter and asked him to bring a few large glasses of beer.
Beer and barbecue, this is the perfect match, this meal, Ian's juice is splashing, and I am feasting.
At the end, when Ian stopped, his stomach was full, and he was lying on the chair, lazily not wanting to move. Since he came to this world, it was the first time he had eaten barbecue so comfortably.
Bill is an old man and eats slowly, so when Ian stopped, he was still chewing slowly, taking a big sip of beer from time to time, eating very leisurely.
Ian couldn't eat anymore, so he could only wait for him, so at this time, he was in the mood to look around the shop.
However, I didn't know without looking at it, but Ian was so scared that he almost jumped up.
Because he saw a black pirate flag in this shop! And it's no ordinary pirate flag!
It was a pirate flag hanging on the wall of the hall. The pattern painted on the pirate flag was a skull with big scarlet lips. Ian didn't recognize it at first, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar , I suddenly thought of a person, so I was frightened for a while.
He whispered, "Hey, Bill, this Pirate Flag... is really..."
"You saw it too?" Bill smiled and said, "It seems that you still have some knowledge. That's right, that pirate flag is said to be the flag of the IGMOM Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World!"
Fuck! Ian was really surprised. He didn't expect to see a pirate flag of the Four Emperors just after entering the first starting island of the great route.
"Because it is rich in barbecue delicacies, it is missed by the aunt of one of the four emperors!" Bill whispered: "This is what I told you, the reason why pirates dare not make trouble easily. Food, and the aunt allowed them to use their own pirate flag to provide shelter for this island. Although I have never seen what the Four Emperors look like, but I have been here a few times, and I heard what the pirates said. It should not be wrong ! Now the shops on the island are basically hanging Big Mom’s pirate flag to prevent pirates from making trouble.”
No wonder Bill spoke so mysteriously when he went to the island...
It is said that the aunt, one of the Four Emperors, has a sphere of influence in the New World, but if the island is rich in delicious food, the situation is different, so even if the island is still in the first half of the great route, Ian is still here to listen To this her name.
It was the first time that Ian felt the power of the super big pirate. This is the prestige of the Four Emperors. Even if people are not here, just a flag can deter the navy and pirates from messing around.
So, this island should be quite peaceful, right
Just as Ian was thinking this way, he suddenly heard a discussion from the guests sitting next to him.
"Have you heard? That overlord meal madman appeared on the island again!"
"It appeared again? How many times is this? Or is it the dozens of times?"
"Ha, who knows! But let me tell you, that guy is really amazing. He even rushed to eat Bawang's meal on Bibiko Island, and he ate so many times!"
"That's right, this is the island protected by the aunt! If you are caught, you can't peel off your skin?"
"But the problem is that I can't catch it! I heard that guy runs very fast, and there are so many restaurants on the island, not every restaurant recognizes him, so that he has repeatedly succeeded in eating Bawang Meal..."
Ian didn't listen to the following words any more, he just felt a rush of grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.
Fuck! What is this familiar, strong sense of sight!
