Chapter 47 Cooking
After a while, several people in school-level military uniforms came over, and when they saw Garp and Crane, they immediately hurried over to greet them.
"Lieutenant General Garp, Lieutenant General Tsuru, please bring back this batch of recruits. Leave the rest to me." Andrew bowed slightly.
"It's just a small matter, Andrew. If something strange happens in the recruit camp, don't make a fuss. Just tell me secretly." Cap patted Andrew's shoulder meaningfully and said.
Andrew was a little confused. He didn't understand what Vice Admiral Garp meant. He was explaining something to Rebecca next to him and didn't say anything to him.
"Clerk, give the roster to Andrew and hand it over to him. We'll leave first. If you have anything, come to my office in Zhan Guo's office. Hahaha!"
Garp turned around and walked to the back of the headquarters, and He followed behind him. After a few steps, a voice was heard: "Vic, enjoy your life as a rookie. You can come to me if you have any problems. Hahaha!" Garp seemed very happy. It was not one of his many bad tastes. Vic's face turned a little dark when he heard it.
"You think I can't beat you? Write it down in your notebook first, humph!"
All the recruits' information has been recorded on the roster, including place of birth, gender, height, weight, what they are good at, whether they have eaten devil fruits, what their ideals are... and so on.
Andrew took the list handed over by the clerk and began to call the roll. Everyone else was there, except Vic, whom Vice Admiral Karp had just mentioned. Andrew called out three times in confusion. Vic walked up and stood in front of Andrew. Andrew looked at the clerk, who nodded helplessly.
"How come there are still recruits who can't speak in this class?" Andrew muttered to himself. Although his voice was low, the people around him heard it.
The clerk was frowning, and Vic looked at the clerk with a dark face, as if saying, "If you don't explain it, I'll stab you."
"Andrew, it's not that he can't speak, he just doesn't like this kind of roll call type of answer. You have to separate them in the future." The clerk explained to Andrew awkwardly.
Vic felt that it was shameful for him to shout "here" like this even though he was so strong now. After all, he was no longer a teenager at heart.
Andrew nodded and said nothing more. After all, he was the one nominated by Vice Admiral Garp, so he was not an ordinary person. He would have to be given some privileges in the future.
Andrew asked his subordinates to assign dormitories to the new recruits, and then took them to settle down.
The new recruits have already left, but those from the elite battalion haven't left yet and are still talking about it.
"Smoker, who is that Vic just now? Vice Admiral Garp even took care of him personally." Someone asked Smoker.
"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to provoke him. He's very strong. If you don't want to get beaten, just be quiet."
Smoker warned. He knew there was a tradition of veterans bullying new recruits in the headquarters, and he used the excuse: I just want them to calm down and train, not be too arrogant, and help them adjust their mindset.
They were also bullied when they first arrived, and Smoker was also targeted at that time, but he had the natural smoke fruit, so no one could do anything to him, allowing him to become famous in one battle.
Smoker now has a big name in Marineford and is the key training target of the elite training camp. Now these guys also want to bully the newcomers to gain some sense of existence. Smoker thinks they are looking for abuse and feel uncomfortable.
"Smoker, is it as exaggerated as you say? If you follow him, we won't make things difficult for him, but there's no need to praise him and belittle us!"
The man who spoke seemed a little unhappy. He was considered a top figure in the elite camp and his strength was not bad.
"Haha, I met him a year ago. I was just an ordinary person then. At that time, he killed a pirate with a bounty of 1000 million. He used just one move. Just one move, and all the pirates fell!" Smoker was a little emotional. It is also difficult for him to defeat the enemy with one move now!
"That murderous aura was frightening, and the sharpness in his eyes was so sharp that people couldn't look directly at him. Now I see that the sharpness in his eyes is gone. This is because he has cultivated to the state of returning to nature. Can you imagine how strong he is now?"
Smoker is still shocked when he thinks back on it now. He still wants to remind these classmates not to seek punishment, which would probably result in a severe beating!
Although Tina had heard Smoker talk about Vic, he only said that he was a very strong man. It was only now that she heard about his specific deeds that she was a little shocked. She might not be able to deal with a criminal with a bounty of 1000 million Beli now, even though she had the ability of a devil fruit.
The people nearby felt relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, Smoker reminded them, otherwise they would have been beaten badly. They thanked Smoker again and again and wanted to treat him to a drink.
Smoker waved his hand and said that he was going to have a drink with Vic today and would talk about it later. When Tina heard that Smoker was going to have a drink with Vic, she immediately offered to go too. Smoker had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, the two of them got to know each other today, so it would not be impolite to take Tina along.
……
Vic and his companions passed through the administrative office area near the port and came to the living area in the middle. It was very lively here, and there were abundant goods on both sides of the street.
The living area is where the headquarters navy and their families live. Many shops are opened by family members, and there are also public properties that are run by managers recruited from outside.
So there is no shortage of daily necessities here, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are frequent cargo ships coming and going here.
Passing through the streets of the living area, the last place close to the red soil continent is the training base for all recruits. It is also very large and is considered the elite blood supply institution of the navy.
When Vic walked on this land, he felt that the land here was different. It seemed like it had been tempered by thousands of hammers, very solid, and very vicissitudes. Many stories must have happened here, perhaps some beautiful, some sweaty, some struggling, some bleeding, some crying, some regretful...
Vic and the others came to the dormitory area of the recruit area. Andrew arranged two single dormitories for Vic and Rebecca, but no one else had this treatment. This was because of Cap and Crane's face. At least now, the two of them had not shown their extraordinary strength to impress Andrew.
Before leaving, Andrew instructed all the new recruits standing in line: "Gather at the small square in front of the dormitory at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Now go and pack your own dormitories, go to bed early at night, and don't run around. Okay, disband!"
After tidying up his room, Vic went out for a walk. The dormitories here were separated into male and female areas, and there were many rooms that were already occupied. It was obvious that this was not just a separate living area for their recruits.
Vic went to the girls' dormitory to ask Rebecca to come over for dinner in the evening, and then went to the living area to buy food and wine, as well as to find the cooking staff.
He was going to treat Smoker to a drink tonight. There were no cooking utensils in his single dormitory, so he had to go buy them. He would have to cook for himself in the future.
Vic came to the street and started walking around, first to see what kind of shops there were, so that he could come here directly to solve the problem if he needed anything in the future.
He walked around and had a general understanding of the place. Many areas were guarded by marines and no one was allowed to enter. They should be the residences of some senior generals. Vic did not stay here for long.
I bought some cooking utensils such as a stove and an iron pot, as well as firewood, seasonings, tableware, etc., and finally I bought meat, vegetables, rice, flour, etc. Anyway, in the end it was a lot of miscellaneous things. Fortunately, Vic was strong, so these things were not a problem.
Vic calmly returned to his dormitory amid many surprised looks in the recruit camp. After returning, he began to get busy. He had to prepare all the ingredients, otherwise it would be too late.
Then he kneaded the dough and steamed a batch of large steamed buns. People in this world are big eaters, so he steamed hundreds of steamed buns, and then cooked a large pot of rice.
He started cooking after the staple food was ready. It was almost dark when the eight dishes and one soup were finally ready. He had a talent for physical dexterity, so cooking was really not easy for him and the dishes tasted very good. The eight major cuisines and various cooking methods from his previous life were like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken in this world.
"Alas, I can't clean up by myself in the future. I have to teach others to do the preparation work, and then I, the chef, can start. It's a waste of time for me to do it all. It affects my practice progress!" Vic said secretly.
This meal took him a lot of time. It would be annoying to cook for himself in the future, mainly because it would take a lot of time to prepare. But who would want to eat the big pot meal in the cafeteria when they can eat what they cook themselves!
