Above the Pirate King

Chapter 208 Aunt Lucy
When you go to a strange place, the best way to understand it is to go shopping, eating, and playing, these three kinds of places!

Among them, the shopping place can let you know the shopping preferences of the locals, what the locals like to buy and what to wear, you can find out here!
The place to eat allows you to experience the eating habits and tastes of the local people, as well as the local special food that has been passed down for a long time!
The place to play can let you know the local customs and culture that have been passed down for a long time, and the local characteristics and toys with a long history!
Early the next morning, Arthur took Lucia alone to the Marlin Shopping Center west of Fishman Island!

This is the largest and most luxurious shopping mall on Murloc Island, where you can eat, drink, have fun, and have everything you need for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Arthur and Lucia chose this place as their first stop!

"Arthur, here, here, here is where I used to work. This is the barbecue restaurant with the longest heritage in Fishman Island. It has a history of 300 years. The owner, Aunt Lucy, has 50 years of barbecue experience. Master, even the king has come here to eat barbecue!"

As soon as he entered the shopping mall, Lucia led Arthur into a very old-looking barbecue restaurant made of coral and shells with a look of excitement!
"what!?"

As soon as they reached the door, the two heard a surprised sound.

"Lucia, you're fine, that's great!" A two-meter-tall fat mermaid aunt with red eyes ran out in a hurry, hugging Lucia tightly.

"Aunt Lucy, I'm fine!" Lucia also hugged the fat mermaid aunt tightly, her eyes were a little red.

After a while, the two separated.

"By the way, Lucia, what happened to you during this period of time? I've been looking for you like crazy, but I can't find you!" Aunt Lucy couldn't help asking just after they left.

"Aunt Lucy, this is how it happened." Lucia carefully told Aunt Lucy what happened.

"call--"

After listening, Aunt Lucy patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Lucky, lucky!"

Then, she turned her gaze to Arthur again, and generously invited, "Come on, come into the store quickly, today your Aunt Lucy will show you my skills, and let you have a taste of my craftsmanship! Just in time, I bought a fresh one this morning. My king, I'll bake it for you too!"

"Your Majesty!" Before Arthur could speak, Lucia couldn't help but let out a cry of excitement, showing a greedy face, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, as if she was remembering something!
Mermaids don't eat meat and fish, but shellfish do!
"That's right, it's your favorite king scallop!" Aunt Lucy smiled, then changed her voice, and said proudly, "Let me tell you, this morning this king scallop was unexpectedly big. It is two meters long, and the shell meat is 1.3 meters long. The total weight is more than 80 catties, and the shell meat weighs more than 50 catties. If it is not for my good relationship with the seller, I really can’t buy it!"

"But, Aunt Lucy, it's too precious!" Lucia said hesitantly, "Generally, the big king's bere costs 20 beli, but today this kind of beli is at least [-] beli?"

"It's okay!" Aunt Lucy waved her hand and said grandly, "You came back with great difficulty, of course you have to celebrate it!"

Having said that, Aunt Lucy stopped, looked back and forth between Arthur and Lucia with ambiguous eyes for a while, then continued with a smile, "This is a gift for you, ha ha!"

"brush!"

Lucia's face turned red in an instant, and she quickly waved her hands in denial, "Aunt Lucy, that's not the case!" As she spoke, she secretly looked at Arthur's reaction.

I saw that Arthur smiled and did not deny it.

"Plop plop!"

Immediately, Lucia's little face blushed even more thoroughly, and her heart couldn't help beating faster.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the surroundings.

Of course, Aunt Lucy could see the ambiguous atmosphere. After waiting for a while, she broke the ambiguous atmosphere and greeted, "Okay, okay! Whether it's like that or not, come in quickly!"

The two walked into the store.

This barbecue restaurant is different from the barbecue restaurants Arthur has seen before, but it is very characteristic of Murloc Island.

There is only one oven in the store, which is placed in the center of the store. It is a shell about five meters in size. The big shell is covered with a layer of barbed wire, and a layer of black charcoal is spread under the barbed wire. The seats in the store are all Coral chairs and coral tables are extended from the surrounding coral walls.

Because it was early in the morning, there was no one in the store, and the seats were all empty.

The two casually found a window facing the street and sat down, while Aunt Lucy walked straight into the shop.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arthur asked Lucia, "You have a very good relationship with Aunt Lucy! It doesn't look like the relationship between the boss and the employees!"

"Aunt Lucy is really my boss, but she really treats me very well!" Lucia nodded seriously, and said, "My parents were eaten by sea beasts five years ago, and I was only 12 years old at that time. Later, because I had no money and couldn’t pay the rent, I was kicked out by the landlord!”

"After being kicked out, because I had no money to eat, I was so hungry that I didn't know how I got here. Aunt Lucy took me in to work here and paid the rent for me. , I can survive!"

"Later, when I was working here, Aunt Lucy also took care of me, taught me barbecue skills, and bought me clothes."

Arthur looked at the mermaid who kept telling interesting stories about working at Aunt Lucy's place. His life experience was pitiful, but he was still smiling happily. Something seemed to be touched deep in his heart!
After a while, Aunt Lucy came out carrying a huge shell.

She placed the shells on top of the oven, then took out a lighter and lit the entire oven.

Slowly with the burning of charcoal in the stove, a gust of hot air rises out, and the temperature in the whole store rises a lot!

Because the king's shell was too big, Aunt Lucy put it there directly after lighting the fire, then turned around and went to the store to pick up some ingredients, and put them on the oven to roast.

"呲呲呲!"

The oil dripped on the ingredients fell on the charcoal, and a smell of barbecue filled the air.

After a while, Aunt Lucy put two plates of baked goods on Arthur's table with a smile, and said, "Come, try my cooking!"

Arthur was not polite either, he picked up a skewer of grilled shrimp and ate it.

Eyes lit up.

The sweetness of the shrimp meat and the salty aroma of the barbecue seasoning appeared in Arthur's mouth, but there was no sense of disobedience, and instead they mixed together very harmoniously.

"En! It's delicious!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction while eating. Aunt Lucy's barbecue skills are even better than the chefs in his palace!

"Eat more if it tastes good!" Aunt Lucy smiled brightly. In her opinion, delicious food is the biggest compliment to her!
Soon, the sea vegetables, seaweed, mussels, scallops, grilled fish, and other seafood on the two plates were eaten by Arthur and Lucia one by one.

"I'll go bake some more for you!" Seeing this, Aunt Lucy said with a smile.

"Then trouble auntie!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Oh, what's the trouble, you wait here, it will be ready soon!" Aunt Lucy waved her hand indifferently, then turned around and continued to bake things!

The two of them ate for a full hour.

Arthur ate most of it!
And just after the two of them finished eating the last skewer, Da Wang Bei was also healed!
A whole big king shell was directly lifted onto the table by Aunt Lucy, filling the whole table.

The meat of the roasted king scallop looks like a scallop, and there are some red peppers and green scallions on the top of the shell, which looks very attractive as a whole.

Arthur took a knife and cut off a piece, put it directly into his mouth, and chewed carefully.

Well. Delicious!

The taste is a bit like steamed scallops, but much more delicious than steamed scallops.

Sweet and slightly spicy!
After eating a piece of meat, Arthur closed his eyes and began to feel it carefully. After a full minute, the taste of the shellfish still lingered in his mouth.

Arthur couldn't help giving Aunt Lucy a thumbs up!

"Haha!" Aunt Lucy smiled brightly.

Less than 10 minutes later, Arthur ate more than 40 catties of [-] catties of shellfish by himself, and Lucia ate a lot of barbecue before, and only ate a little shellfish, so she couldn't hold on!
After eating, the two of them didn't stay in the store any longer, and they were about to leave. Before leaving, Lucia greeted Aunt Lucy and said, "Aunt Lucy, I'm leaving, come back in two days look at you!"

"Well, goodbye!" Aunt Lucy smiled and waved her hands.

The two quickly left here and walked deep into the shopping mall.

Seeing the backs of Arthur and Lucia leaving, Aunt Lucy shook her head with a smile, and murmured, "It seems that this girl will not inherit my barbecue restaurant in the future, and I will find someone to succeed me in the future." BBQ restaurant!"

Just when she turned around and was about to clear the table, she was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly found a stack of Baileys on Arthur's seat, about 50!

————

Led by Lucia, the two bought a lot of features of Fishman Island in the shopping mall, and then went shopping at Geelong Cod Square, Coral Hill, Mermaid Bay, Fishman Culture Hall, etc. location.

"Where is it?" On the road, Arthur pointed to a very dilapidated place and asked in confusion.

"It's Murloc Street!" Lucia introduced, "It's a large place for orphans, but because of poor management, it has become a place where criminal groups gather! But many famous people on Murloc Island came from there. Like Fisher Tiger, and even Shiping!"

"Oh!?" Arthur's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he said with great interest, "Then let's go there and have a look!"

"Arthur, the law and order there is not very good!" Lucia said with a frown.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Arthur stroked Lucia's hair and smiled.

Immediately, Lucia didn't care about persuasion, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded.
