The Highest Bounty

Chapter 96: An episode of Dirisius

Views:

On the thirteenth day of the Gray Eagle's voyage, Guding and Liliat once again docked the spaceship on an administrative planet inhabited by a large number of humans. This was their third stop since their voyage. And the reason for staying - apart from egg fried rice, Gu Ding's dark cuisine makes people unable to look directly at it.

In fact, on the third day, the two had their first stay. At that time, the two of them ate too happily and forgot to pack it. As a result, they ate fried rice with eggs for five consecutive days before they found the second planet inhabited by humans. Therefore, during the second stay, the two happily packed meals for five days and put them in the refrigerator on the spacecraft, just enough to last until they arrived at the third stop. After all, it's not healthy to keep food in the freezer for too long.

Dirisius is a little-known little planet. If you must say something famous, it can only be said that there was once an interstellar pirate who offered a reward of 380 million star coins. However, that star pirate was locked up in a federal prison more than two decades ago, and he was a chef by profession on the team.

Even so, such a character still had a great influence on Dirisis, and many young people in Dirisis aspired to become chefs. As for why he didn't choose the profession of interstellar pirate, I'm afraid it also has something to do with that guy being caught in a federal prison.

Gu Ding likes to listen to tavern anecdotes, which is a habit he has developed since childhood. He has been with his father in the Rose Tavern since he was very young, and every time he hears someone telling a new story in the tavern, his father will drink Binks and listen quietly. He never questioned the veracity of the story, and he never joined others in heckling the storyteller to shut up. He was always just a simple listener, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and inexplicable fluctuations flickering in his eyes.

Previously at the Rose Tavern, Guding was most interested in the adventure stories of interstellar pirates. Now that he has become an interstellar pirate, he is more interested in arriving at a new planet every time and hearing some legendary history of that planet.

Guding and Lilia chose a tavern near the port with a good business.

The two of them had just found a good place to sit down, when a black shadow came over, like a piece of dark cloud covering the sun, "Hello, two guests, I am the waiter here, what would you like to order?"

Guding and Liliat looked up at the waiter and blinked twice at the same time. It was a giant man with a height of nearly three meters, with muscles all over his body and a beard all over his face. It was scary no matter how you looked at it, but fortunately, his smile was quite simple and honest.

"Uncle, wait a moment, we'll see each other right away." Guding and Liliat were a little surprised, after all, this was the first time they had seen this type of waiter. But the two didn't think too much about it. They had seen many kinds of human beings and non-human beings during this period of time.

After the two filled out the menu, they handed it back to the burly waiter.

The strong man took a look, "Are you sure you want this much? I don't think you can finish this."

"The three-day extra portion we ordered is to be taken away, and the rest will be eaten here." Gu Ding explained with a grin.

"Oh, then I'll ask the kitchen to make the first portion for you first." The strong man nodded, turned and walked away with the menu.

At this moment, Gu Ding heard someone snickering at a table not far away, "Is this kind of waiter afraid of people eating the overlord's meal? Isn't the boss afraid of scaring away all the guests?"

"That's right, it's obviously not fully evolved if it looks like that!" Another person continued.

Gu Ding frowned slightly, but no one noticed that he had almost reached the door of the kitchen and the strong man clenched his fists tightly.

"Hey, Bigger, it's so slow to deliver the menu, didn't you have breakfast?" reprimanded voices came from far away in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, those two customers just ordered a little too much, so I've been waiting for a while." The strong man quickly bowed his head and apologized.

"Then what's the matter with your listless look? Are you dissatisfied with me?" Reaching out to take the menu, the chef glanced at Bigger and said impatiently.

"I didn't..." Bigger quickly shook his head in denial.

"Let me tell you, next time I see you looking listless, you'd better pack up your bags and get out. You can't even be a waiter, so you still want to be a chef?" The chef was still yelling.

With Guding and Liliat's current ear strength, they could hear these words very clearly. They didn't expect that this mighty-looking waiter would act so weak.

After a long while, the dishes were brought out, and Bigger, who was serving them, showed a simple and honest smile in front of the two of them, "Please take your time, both of you."

"Thank you!" Gu Ding nodded with a smile.

When he heard the thank you, the expression on Bigger's face was obviously stunned, and then the smile on his face became brighter, but he suddenly remembered something, "Oops, I was reprimanded by the boss just now, and I forgot to tell him what you have left. Somewhat packed."

He quickly trotted all the way to the kitchen window, "Boss, the leftover dishes from the two guests just now are packed."

"You idiot, didn't you know to tell me earlier?" The chef stopped his hands and yelled at Bigger, who had already put two dishes on the plate.

"Sorry, I forgot to mention just now..." Bigger bowed his head and apologized again, "I'll pack those two dishes."

"Do you think apologizing is useful? Do you know how much time you wasted on me? Do you know how much money I can earn by repacking two dishes..." the chef still reprimanded mercilessly.

The tall Big Big just lowered his head and endured silently without saying a word.

"The owner of this store has made me lose my appetite, shall we change to another one?" Liliat picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth.

"Let's leave like this, he will make it harder for that uncle." Gu Ding shook his head.

"I didn't mean to leave without paying." Liliat pouted.

"According to the reaction of the shop owner just now, even if we didn't eat the dishes he cooked, he would still lose his temper. Moreover, he would not lose his temper at the customers, he would only lose his temper at the uncle." Gooding You can tell what kind of person the other party is from just a few words from the other party.

"Then let's go after eating." Liliat felt that Guding was too kind sometimes, and to some extent, this was also a shortcoming.

After clearing everything on the plate, Lilia nodded, "Although the shop owner has a bad temper, I have to admit that his dishes are pretty good."

It was already afternoon, and the people in the tavern had almost left. The other two waiters had already cleaned up, and Bigger was still listening to the boss's reprimand at the kitchen window while waiting for Guding and Liliat to pack.

Gu Ding and Liliat didn't wait long, Bigger walked towards them with the packed vegetables. Suddenly, he slipped and fell to the ground hard. Not only were all the packed meals destroyed, but the surrounding table and two chairs were also crushed by Big's huge body.

Bigger was not injured, and he apologized to Guding and Liliat as soon as he got up, "I'm sorry, I slipped and fell just now... you packed it..."

"Big! I'm officially notifying you that you've been fired!" The shop owner who made a loud noise from the kitchen stretched out his head, saw the debris on the ground, and immediately knew what was going on, "Also, for Compensation for the loss of the tavern, your salary this month is zero."

"Boss...give me another chance, I will definitely do a good job!" Bigger seemed to need this job very much.

"Get out of my tavern!" the tavern owner shouted, pointing to the door.

After a moment of silence, Bigger walked out dejectedly...
