roses and lilies

Husband Fang Lin and his wife Che Li sat in the tricycle of the enthusiastic middle-aged man, and after a drive of nearly four to ten minutes, they came to a seafood stall in a noisy downtown.

Seafood restaurants are like aquariums. The large and small fish tanks are filled with fresh seafood, such as abalone, sea crab, fragrant snail, flower clam, mussel, sea melon seeds, razor clam, bread crab, pomfret, bamboo Shrimp, soft-shelled turtle, perch, swimming crab, clam, scallop, turbot, sea urchin, starfish, tiger spot, hawksbill grouper, money spot, blue spot grouper, spotted grouper, ivory mussel and other seafood.

Fang Lin couldn't bear it in his heart, it was too hard for them to use three rounds to pull them over from such a long distance, and they didn't charge a penny, so he said politely to the middle-aged man, "Brother! It’s a long way! You have worked so hard! How can we let you go for nothing! How much will we pay you?” As he spoke, he was about to take money out of his bag.

Che Li knew that her husband was very benevolent and righteous, he was definitely not a person who took advantage of others, and he was very supportive of her husband, so she echoed: "Yes! Brother! You are welcome! You see, you are so far away, please pull us here , It’s been hard work! It’s only natural to give you some fares!”

The middle-aged man smiled, "I saw that you young couple are good people! I actually went home on the way, and I have to come back if I don't pull you! Really don't need it!"

Fang Lin asked curiously: "Hmm! Is your house near here?"

"Yes! My family runs a seafood food stall in this seafood street!" The middle-aged man looked at the couple.

Fang Lin glanced at his wife thoughtfully, and his wife, Che Li, knew what he meant. After all, the couple knew each other and had a good understanding.

Che Li understood and said: "Brother! Look at it like this! Our fare is free, but we are not very familiar with the South Island after all, and your family runs a restaurant. We just came here to taste the characteristics of the South Island. Food, we also go to other restaurants, why not go to the restaurant opened by your family! You can also recommend us local specialties. "

What his wife said was exactly what Fang Lin wanted. He secretly admired his wife's intelligence in his heart. Doing so was equivalent to taking care of the middle-aged man's business and could compensate him.

Che Li's words made the middle-aged man very happy, and he seemed to be waiting for this result.

He said with utmost hospitality: "That would be great. Our seafood is the most complete on this street, and the taste is very authentic. Come! I'll take you there!"

After all, the middle-aged man led the way. This seafood street is very lively. There is an endless stream of tourists from all over the country. Friends with blonde hair and blue eyes from overseas walk through this lively food street.

The delicacy of cooking seafood comes from the seafood shop from time to time, and the guys in each store hold a plastic-enclosed color page menu and greet the passing crowd.

"Handsome guys and beauties haven't eaten yet? Please come inside! Our restaurant has all kinds of seafood, which are delicious and affordable, please come in!" Many tourists are drawn into restaurants in this way.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with the solicitors of the big and small stores on this street. Fang Lin and Che Li followed behind. These solicitors standing in the street with menus in their hands did not stop the young couple.These guys understand that in business, there is no righteousness in business, and the rules in the industry cannot be broken.You can't snatch customers from other people's stores. It can be seen that although these stores are all colleagues who run seafood shops, their hearts are very neat.

Passing through the mighty crowd, they came to a seafood restaurant called Nandao Yujia. The space inside is not small, with scattered seats on the first and second floors, but there are not many diners.

The middle-aged man whispered a few words to a young man in his twenties who was not tall, his complexion was scorched, and he was skinny. Of course, after the whispering, he deliberately said a few words loudly, "Dude! This young couple is mine. Friends! You will be well received and recommend our South Island specialties to two guests."

The skinny guy nodded repeatedly, and after that, the middle-aged man greeted Fang Lin, "Brother! Sister-in-law! You can sit down wherever you want, and let the skinny guy treat you well. I have something to do later, so I can't accompany you!"

"Go to work if you have something to do! Thank you! Send us here!" Fang Lin hurriedly said a few words politely.

Looking at the back of the middle-aged man going away, Fang Lin didn't think too much.

The young couple sat down near the window where they could see the street view. After a while, the skinny guy came over and said, "Guest officer! Let's go over there and order food!"

The skinny guy brought the young couple to the rows of fish tanks. The oxygenation pump in the fish tanks was emitting huge water mist bubbles. The fresh seafood was in the fish tanks, making the young couple overwhelmed. It was a bit tricky.

His wife, Che Li, looked at her husband affectionately, "His father! You can order whatever you want to eat! When we come to the South Island, we must try the local special seafood!"

Fang Lin was a little uncertain, and he didn't know the price of the seafood. He knew that seafood was expensive!

He doesn't want to spend too much money, after all, there are still many places for Cherry to spend money in the future!Daughter is the most important thing. This trip to the South Island, he knew in his heart that his wife, Che Li, spent a lot of money. She has a good heart, but he has to restrain himself. After all, this kind of money has no limit. , endless, is itself a common people's family, not rich.

Thinking of this, he said to the skinny guy: "Little brother! We are not locals, we are here for tourism, and we don't know much about the local characteristics. You are a local, and you are very familiar with the choice of this dish." If you have experience, you can choose two affordable ones for us!"

"Guest officer! If you come here, you will be safe, earn money at home and spend it. Since you are on our South Island, you have to taste our special seafood.

Today's new tiger spot tastes very delicious, you can eat it twice, the head is mixed with soup, and the body is steamed!Delicious and nourishing, you can eat it once and think about it twice! "

As he said that, he used the net to fish into the fish tank, and he caught a big one. Without any explanation, he put it on the ground and slapped the head of the fish with a wooden hammer. The big fish, which was still alive and kicking just now, lost consciousness instantly and went on the scale. One scale is more than four catties.Then I took it to the back kitchen to do it.

The thin guy moves very skillfully, and the whole movement is done in one go and very fast.

Then he used the net to pick up the fresh razor clam from another fish tank and put it in a plastic bag for weighing.Then he went to the fish tank containing abalone.

"This abalone is delicious and tender, which is indispensable!" The skinny guy said while fishing.

"Of course, the breaded crab is even fatter, one for each young couple!"

In the blink of an eye, the skinny guy has already ordered no less than five or six kinds of special seafood for the young couple.It's extremely fast.

Seeing this, Fang Lin was shocked. He looked at his wife next to him, but she didn't feel anything unusual.

He was so distressed that he thought to himself, how much would it cost to have such a variety of seafood?Where is this eating?Purely eating money.

But the words didn't catch up, the skinny guy was nimble, and he couldn't help but take the fresh seafood to the back kitchen, where it should be slaughtered and done.

The ingredients have already been put into the pot, and it is impossible to stop it, so I have to admit it. Besides, I don’t know if the scale is accurate, and there is no way to verify it. How can the tiger spot just now weigh more than four catties, at most two catties, I’m afraid people will have to earn it. Walk more than half.

Although Fang Lin is kind and righteous, he is not stupid. From this point of view, he seems to have fallen into the trap of that middle-aged man. I am afraid that he is deliberately sending customers to this restaurant under the banner of free toll.

In fact, the restaurant offered him a separate salary, but can this salary be paid for nothing?It must be that the wool comes from the sheep, and the extra cost is added to the guests.

Fang Lin felt that the two of them were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. He sharpened the knife quickly, and they waited for a while to be slaughtered.

His wife, Cherie, felt that something was wrong with her husband, as if he was thinking about something.

In fact, did she see what her husband was thinking about?Already seen it!
However, she had another idea. This trip to the South Island with her husband was likely to be the last trip for the young couple.

She knew very well that her husband's time was running out, and everything was nothing compared to his precious life.

Money is something outside of the body, besides, the current husband can't bear to be overjoyed and sad. Once she breaks through this trick, the cancer may worsen if the husband is anxious. Therefore, what is the loss of some money?

The seafood in this place is really fresh. Although these rare seafood in Dajiang District are known to be more expensive, they are something that cannot be eaten at home. What's more, considering the current illness of my husband, he eats less than one bite. It was based on this idea that she never said it.

Instead, I hope to fully enjoy this precious trip to the South Island with my husband.

Fang Lin was going to argue with this skinny guy, but then he thought about it. Now that the dishes he ordered have already been cooked in the back kitchen, they are almost ready to serve. Now that it's all done, so what can we do?

Furthermore, are there any idlers among these restaurant owners?Once the theory is not good, after all, on their territory, they have plenty of people. As the saying goes, the strong dragon will not overwhelm the snake, not to mention that I am just a grassroots. You and your wife may suffer a loss, forget it, a hero does not suffer immediate losses.Let others slaughter it!
Not long after, the delicious seafood dishes were served, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people salivate.

His wife, Che Li, deliberately ordered a pot of strong tea, and the two filled their cups with tea instead of wine. They drank together, tasted the delicacies, and enjoyed this rare and wonderful time.

Che Li said happily: "Her father! We have been married for so many years now, live frugally, and live with our hearts, and now our daughter is about to go to kindergarten. To be honest, I feel that I myself was born in a honeypot, although our life is a bit poor, but being with you is my greatest happiness!"

Fang Lin looked at his wife's face full of happiness, thinking that his wife hadn't enjoyed much happiness with him all these years, he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, the sadness in his heart brought down tears. "Her mother! You haven't enjoyed any blessings by following me all your life, and I don't have any great skills, so you will suffer by following me!"

The two of you chatted like this, and I chatted about the past. These dishes are really delicious, and they have never eaten such delicious food. The two of them are very economical on weekdays, but they eat so much. The bowl was clean, and there was not even a mouthful of soup left in the end.

Full of food and drink, the two came to the cashier to find the skinny guy to pay the bill. The skinny guy told the cost of the meal, and the young couple couldn't help being surprised!
