"Dangdangdang, today is a special delicacy called chicken nugget porridge that I recreated based on Master McKenzie's notes. Try it."
Yin Lisabai took a big wooden spoon and put a bowl of porridge in front of Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai took a look and saw that since there was no rice on the ship, the main part was gnocchi beaten with flour, the chicken was cut into pieces, and the usual carrot cubes, potato cubes and chopped onions were also included. It didn’t look like porridge, but more like porridge.
A mix of chicken curry and pimple soup.
"How's it going?" Yin Lisabai came over and asked excitedly.
"Well, next time, change the chicken to shredded chicken, which will be more delicious. In addition, the spices on the ship are still a bit lacking. When we get ashore later, I will prepare some and teach you how to make curry chicken."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"By the way, are those pirates back? You spent all your money after drinking all night yesterday, right?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"I'm back, but something's not right." Yin Lisabai said hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Did you bring Liu Ying on board, or was the tavern owner chasing you on board to demand the bill? Could it be that you're sick?" Zhang Tuohai asked curiously.
"No, when these pirates got on the ship, everyone was holding a doll and carrying it close to their body. Everyone was too distracted to think about food. They didn't even come over to eat. They all hid in the cabin with them.
The doll talks."
Zhang Tuohai: "???"
He never expected that this would be the case.
"I'll go take a look."
Zhang Tuohai put down the bowl in his hand and walked quickly towards the cabin.
Those pirates are murderers with a blind eye. All they care about is wine, women and money.
Apart from that, there is nothing for them to care about.
This is a group of desperadoes who dare to sell their souls to the devil. They are rebellious and lawless. To make them obey, the only way is to be stronger and more ruthless than them.
He would never believe that these pirates would start playing with and talking to dolls like otakus.
After passing through the neat cabin, Zhang Tuohai entered the pirates' cabin.
Then, he was stunned by the scene in the entire cabin.
Thirty pirates, each holding a wooden doll and whispering.
Can you imagine thirty unshaven, foot-picking men hugging life-size wooden dolls and rubbing their ears and temples together, and they look like they are sincerely affectionate?
"Possessed?" Zhang Tuohai walked over, grabbed the first mate by the collar, and picked him up from the ground.
"What disease do you have? What's going on?" Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.
"Let me go, don't disturb me talking to my wife!" the first mate shouted loudly, holding Zhang Tuohai's hand with both hands, his eyes full of madness.
"Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong."
Zhang Tuohai knew that the first mate was so scared of him that he didn't even dare to raise his voice when asking about something yesterday, and now he actually dared to talk to him like that. It was absolutely abnormal.
Bang!
Zhang Tuohai slapped the first mate in the face.
The first mate's face instantly became swollen, with a bright red slap mark imprinted on it.
But the first mate still looked crazy and shook Zhang Tuohai's hand crazily.
Zhang Tuohai frowned and threw the first mate to the ground.
Bang!
The floor was shaken and made a dull sound.
Even the first mate's ribs were broken.
However, the first mate acted as if nothing was wrong, twisting and crawling towards the puppet in the corner, mumbling: "Lily, my Lily!"
Zhang Tuohai: "..."
Zhang Tuohai turned his head and looked at the puppets. Those puppets were all ordinary wooden puppets, and the workmanship was relatively simple. They were almost all long wooden blocks, and the joints were connected with ropes. Except for the larger ones, they were no different from children's toys.
There is almost no difference.
The only thing that feels wrong is the doll's face, which is very delicately drawn and looks almost the same as a real person.
Such a beautiful face is painted on such a simple body, which seems inconsistent.
And the most weird thing is that no matter which angle he stands, Zhang Tuohai always feels that a doll is looking at him, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, with an expression that is half-smiling, which makes people feel an inexplicable anger in his heart.
Burn.
This doll is abnormal!
There is definitely a problem!
Zhang Tuohai looked at the doll and made a judgment in his mind.
"Master, what should I do?" asked an Unsullied person following him.
"Close this cabin and lock it with a chain. No one is allowed to enter or exit. I will go to the shore to check the situation."
Zhang Tuohai feels that if he wants to find out the crux of these pirates, he still has to go ashore.
He is more interested in this city of dolls.
"Do you want to take a few people with you?" the Unsullied asked.
"Forget it, you ordinary people shouldn't follow, otherwise problems will arise." Zhang Tuohai shook his head, "Just stay on the ship, watch the ship, and don't allow anyone to get off the ship, and no one is allowed to get on the ship.
If anyone wants to disobey the order, kill them directly."
Zhang Tuohai said coldly.
"Yes!"
The Unsullied One responded immediately.
After making arrangements, Zhang Tuohai got off the ship and entered the port area.
The port area of the City of Dolls is no different from the port areas of ordinary cities. They are both bustling markets with piles of goods. The only distinctive feature is that there are many stalls with many dolls. These dolls are made of cloth or wood.
There are also clay ones, some are very simple, and some are colored, some are beautifully made, some are simple, and each looks unique. If it weren't for the clothes of the people around him, Zhang Tuohai would have thought he had arrived.
Doll Fair.
It doesn’t look like much at all.
Zhang Tuohai walked over, picked up one or two dolls at random, and asked about the price. Rough dolls only cost one or two dinars, and exquisite ones cost a dozen or even dozens. Generally speaking, they seemed fair.
However, the dolls here are all ordinary dolls, but there are no dolls like those held by pirates.
"Let me ask where there are larger dolls in the city, preferably life-size ones." Zhang Tuohai asked, throwing down two dinars.
"We have to go to the shops in the city to ask about this. They will accept custom orders, no matter how big or small they are. We need to carry them back and forth every day, so they are all small." The stall owner said after collecting the money.
"Thank you." Zhang Tuohai nodded and walked along the corridor towards the city.
The layout of Doll City is very simple, a wide main street, with shops mainly concentrated on both sides. On the outside are some normal shops, such as bakeries, pubs, etc. Once inside, they gradually become full of various doll shops.
.
Moreover, there are some stores that specialize in products, such as all-clay doll stores, all-metal doll stores, and all-wooden doll stores.
Zhang Tuohai searched one by one, hoping to find the same dolls as those pirates.
