Chapter 180 Old Chen's Empty Bucket

Pirate Caitlin escaped from prison without anyone noticing.

Yang Yi walked out of the prison a little depressed, he knew that the prison's defense was not tight.

"Although the female pirate who escaped from prison was the captain, she was just a pirate. Let her run away. I hope that Warrior Island can recruit more pirates to surrender." Yang Yi comforted himself.

The person had already run away, Yang Yi had to let it go, and he then found those little fishmen with leadership ability.

"Is there anything going on in the town?" Yang Yi asked.

"Report to the mayor, the winery is going to open the barrels." Several little fishmen rushed to report.

"Oh? It's time to open the barrels again. Another month has passed. Let's go and see if it can be done this time."

Yang Yi took the little fishmen to the winery, which was a village level 1 building built with the purchased architectural drawings.

To brew Pandaren Magic Wine, one must know both alchemy and brewing. About three months ago, two Murloc Tidecallers who were learning alchemy from Slark learned brewing almost at the same time and became Level 1 Brewers. Yang Yi immediately arranged for them to learn the recipe of Lao Chen's Storm Brew left by the Pandaren Lao Chen.

It takes more than 20 days to ferment Lao Chen's Storm Brew. In the past three months, the two Murlocs have tried to brew a barrel of Lao Chen's Storm Brew each month. As a result, they opened the bottle twice in a row, but none of the bottles were successfully brewed.

Now it's time for the third opening.

At the edge of the brewery, two Level 1 Brewers who were learning to brew Pandaren Magic Wine were already waiting.

Two wine cellars were dug not far from the brewery, and one of the larger wine cellars was used to store ordinary wine. There were mainly two kinds of wines brewed by the level 1 murloc brewer in Ratchet Village, [Autumn Acorn Wine] and [Pure Ale], and some [Thunder Beer] and [Dwarven Strong Wine] purchased from the goblin merchants.

The other smaller wine cellar was dug by Yang Yi specifically for the murloc to store the magic wine of the Pandaren.

Yang Yi took the lead and went into the smaller wine cellar.

The wine cellar was relatively empty, with only one barrel on each side.

"Open them all and have a look."

Yang Yi gave the order directly. At this time, success or failure had already been determined.

The two murloc brewers also had experience. They stepped forward quickly and began to unseal the barrels.

"God bless, heaven and earth, it will definitely succeed." Yang Yi prayed while watching the murloc open the barrel.

As a result, the wine barrel did not emit the aroma of wine when it was opened, and the brewing of this barrel failed.

"Mother Earth, Mother Earth, protect my Razortooth Town. The next barrel will definitely succeed." Yang Yi remembered that Mother Earth was the god of the world of Azeroth.

However, Yang Yi's prayers were useless, and the second barrel still failed.

The two murloc brewers were very frustrated when they found that they failed to brew again.

"You two, did you find anything wrong when brewing?" Yang Yi asked the two murloc brewers.

Failure is not a problem, but the biggest problem is that you can't find the reason for the failure of brewing.

"Mayor, I didn't find it." The brewing murloc answered with his head down.

We always brew according to the recipe left by the panda man Lao Chen, but we can't succeed every time.

"That's strange. According to the previous alchemy or leatherworking professions, as long as the professional level meets the requirements, the success rate is usually 70% to 80%. Why does this panda magic wine always end in failure? Could it be that the location of this cellar is wrong and the feng shui is not good, so it can't succeed?" Yang Yi thought about it, hoping to find the reason.

Yang Yi didn't figure it out, and the two fishmen brewers lowered their heads in a depressed mood.

"Okay, don't lower your heads, keep working hard next time. Maybe this Pandaren's magic wine is different from ordinary wine, so the success rate of brewing is also low. You will always succeed if you try a few more times. The Pandaren probably have some secrets of brewing wine, but it's a pity that the Pandaren Lao Chen left nothing behind when he left." Yang Yi spoke to comfort the two brewing fishmen.

"Mayor, the pandas left something behind." A little fishman who came with Yang Yi suddenly said, "The pandas left an empty wine barrel."

When Yang Yi heard this, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Yes, the panda old Chen deliberately left an empty wine barrel before leaving, and said that he hoped that the wine barrel could be filled with magic wine brewed by the recipe he left behind next time. Pandas like to play mysterious words, maybe there is a mystery in it."

"The empty wine barrel is still in the hotel, you guys go and carry it here immediately." Yang Yi immediately ordered, "The little fishman who just spoke, you stay."

Yang Yi left the little fishman who reminded him just now alone, and then looked at him with the Lord's Eye.

[Name]: Murloc

[Level]: Level 1 Murloc

[Qualification]: D

[Race]: Long Beach Murloc

[Gender]: Female

[Ability]: Leadership (Supervision 8/10)

[Features]: Cleverness, Water Element

[Alignment]: Ratchet Town

[Attitude]: Worship (Murloc Lord)

"This Murloc's qualification is 'D'. Although it's not good, it's still acceptable."

"The 'Water Element' specialty should be due to the Murloc Temple. In addition, it has a 'Cleverness' specialty, which is worth cultivating."

"The 'admiration' for my lord is because the old blind man has instilled my lord's wisdom and martial arts into the little fish people since they were young. Therefore, many of the new generation of little fish people who grew up listening to Yang Yi's 'awesome' stories have this attribute."

Yang Yi analyzed the attributes of this little fish-man and found that she was quite a talent among the many little fish-men, so he planned to train her.

"From now on, you will manage these small fish people with leadership skills in the town. Do you have confidence?" Yang Yi said to the small fish people.

"Mayor, I have confidence!" The little fish man danced and jumped excitedly.

"Very good." Yang Yi smiled, "This way, with your current contribution to our Ratchet Town, you are not qualified to be named. But for the sake of convenience, I will give you a nickname first, let's call it... Kongjiu bucket."

Yang Yi irresponsibly gave this female fish-man a random nickname.

"What's the nickname? What's an empty wine barrel?" The little fishman didn't understand.

"Although this nickname is not a real name, it is still half a name. Do you understand?"

"Half a name? The mayor gave me a half name?" The little fish-woman rolled her eyes and seemed to understand something. She shouted happily: "I have half a name. My half name is ' Empty wine barrel'.

Okay, this understanding doesn’t seem to be much different. Anyway, it will be convenient to call him in the future. Yang Yi saw the happy expression of the little fish man and didn't explain much. Anyway, from now on, the little fish man will be called the empty wine barrel for the time being.

Soon, several little fishmen carried the empty wine barrel left by the panda man Lao Chen to the wine cellar.

Yang Yi announced to several little fishmen in public that the empty wine barrel of the little fishmen left behind would be their leader.

These little fish people don't care who takes the lead. All their focus is on the nickname "Empty Wine Barrel". The little fishman Empty Wine Barrel immediately began to show off to other little fishmen, saying that the mayor personally gave her half of the name and it was a nickname.

When the other little fishmen heard this, they all exclaimed, some clapped, some jumped, and all of them drooled with envy.

Yang Yi smiled and watched the little murlocs cheering and applauding. He turned his attention to the two murloc brewers.

Yang Yi looked at the information of the two brewer murlocs again and found that the qualifications of both murlocs were "E" level, and their attributes were indistinguishable, so he randomly designated a brewer murloc and asked him to do it next time. Use the empty barrel of the pandaren to brew, and the remaining one can only continue to use the original barrel.

After arranging the wine making, Yang Yi asked the little fish people to go to school, and then he lay comfortably on the wooden platform in the center of the town. He had rushed all the way back from the backwater oasis and hadn't even had time to rest. .

Yang Yi has always regarded the town center as his home, and basically lies here every time he sleeps.

This murloc town center is the core of the entire Ratchet Village and is also the earliest building. From the initial town center of the Murloc Village to the current town center of the Murloc Town, this building has been upgraded three times.

However, the appearance of this town center has not changed much after three upgrades. It is still the traditional shape of the murloc tribe with the original wooden house on stilts and a roof among water plants, but it has only become taller and stronger.

The only change in appearance was after upgrading from a level 3 village to a level 1 town. The water grass roof in the center of the town was changed to a double-layer roof structure with a high center and low sides. The rest remained almost the same.

"The most unbearable thing is that it is open to all sides. At least a few walls can block the sea breeze."

Yang Yi couldn't help but complain again. He had already given up hope for a wall to appear in the center of the town, so he had asked the fish weavers in the town to weave several large straw mats to hang on the four sides of the town center.

As a fishman, Yang Yi didn't worry about wind and rain. He hung up the straw mat mainly to block his sight.

I lay down in the center of the town and slept comfortably. When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

"First fill your stomach and then talk."

As soon as Yang Yi got up, he headed towards the Ratchet Village Inn.

The business of the hotel has always been good and bad. Recently, adventurers have concentrated in the backwater oasis, and the hotel has become deserted again.

When Yang Yi slowly walked into the hotel, he found that only the chef, Tang Shao, was there, and his sand crabs were lying on the table in boredom. The hotel's receptionist and the two murlocs who were learning to cook from Tang Shao didn't know where they were. .

"Spoon, have a shot of Thunder Beer and some delicious food. Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?" Yang Yi ordered and then asked casually.

"There are no guests in the hotel, so they all went to play."

"These guys don't work hard." Yang Yi took it for granted and didn't say much.

Tang Shao quickly delivered a bottle of Thunder Beer. He picked up the sand crab to clear the table for Yang Yi, then put the crab on his head and began to skillfully handle the ingredients.

It's been a while since Tang Lao was promoted to Level 2 Chef, and he is currently working hard to become an Intermediate Chef.

Yang Yi saw through the eyes of the lord that the spoon's information showed "Life (Cooking 20/20)", which means that it can be upgraded as long as it is improved a little more, but it is a little more difficult to improve this point.

Now that the spoon was able to cook food with ease, a herbal baked egg and two smooth-skinned mackerel were soon delivered to Yang Yi.

These two foods are Yang Yi's favorites, and he eats them without any hesitation.

Not long after, Soup Spoon brought another [Juicy Pork Chops] and [Goblin Mustard Clam Meat], which were dishes Soup Spoon had recently learned to make. The ingredients for these two dishes were also easy to obtain in Ratchet Town.

"Not bad, Soup Spoon, your [Goblin Mustard Clam Meat] is getting better and better. I think it's almost as good as your signature dish [Delicious Small Fish]."

Yang Yi praised him a few times, then leisurely crossed his legs, tasted a few bites of food, and drank a big sip of beer.

This time passed happily and freely, thinking that it would be comfortable if I could spend the whole day here leisurely.

However, Yang Yi soon ate and drank enough, and then he had a new idea.

"This weather is good, it's a good day to go fishing. Anyway, there are still a few ships parked at the dock, it's a waste to just sit there."

Yang Yi did what he thought, and he planned to let the pirate ship he had captured go out to sea for training.

Two days ago, Ratchet Village took in 40 pirates and found some murlocs as sailors, barely meeting the conditions for a two-masted ship to sail.

These pirates had only been out of prison for two days, and it was too hasty to sail the ship so soon. Moreover, the only murloc captain, Mojitov, had taken the murloc sailors of the former Ratchet One to sail the Heartless ship to Warrior Island.

However, Yang Yi was not too worried. He thought that if these sailors did not know how to sail, they could practice on the sea, go out to sea a few more times, and cooperate a few more times, and they would definitely get better.

Besides, most of them were murlocs anyway, and they could swim back by themselves if they fell into the sea.

So, with a ship full of sailors who had basically not cooperated, a two-masted ship set sail in a swaying manner.

In order to prevent these pirates from being disobedient and to prevent these pirates from rebelling, Yang Yi arranged some combat murlocs on the ship to watch them.

The pirates and the merman sailors went out for training together, but Yang Yi did not let them sail the ship out of the Ratchet Bay.

He simply set a training goal for the crew, and asked the ship to complete the task by making a large circle clockwise and counterclockwise not far from the dock.

The pirates and merman were in a mess on the two-masted sailing ship, and the ship could not even sail in a straight line at the beginning, let alone make a circle.

Yang Yi did not care about these pirates and merman on the ship. He just watched from the side and let them figure out how to run in. He stood on the deck of the ship, took out a fishing rod, hung a night bug on it, and started sea fishing. This was the main purpose of his sending the ship out to sea. .
