The shop owner thought so too.
Although he is very shrewd in business, he is still unwilling to do something like agreeing on a price and then going back on his word, as it would damage the reputation of his store.
He led the two men to the back door of the store and took out the batch of Chilean king crabs.
Luke pretended to check for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Pack it up for me." He had already used his keen sense of smell to confirm that this batch of king crabs was absolutely fresh, otherwise he would not have paid so much money to buy them.
Although he jokingly said "this old man is very bad", the quality of the owner's seafood is indeed no problem, which is why he dared to sell it at such a high price.
After getting this harvest, Luke and his companions returned with the gold nuggets.
The seafood you buy should either be refrigerated or eaten while it is fresh, and if you buy another car, it won’t be able to accommodate it all.
In order to buy these things today, the two of them took a detour and drove back from the airport in a second-hand Ford to pick up the seafood, just because they didn't want the car to be filled with the smell of the sea.
When I got home, it was not yet seven o'clock.
Luke took Selina and sorted the seafood into different categories.
Nugget was whimpering like crazy and jumping around the two of them, meaning "I want to have a seafood dinner."
Compared to Luke and Selina, it actually prefers eating raw food, especially seafood.
All the fish that Luke caught last time he went out to sea went into its stomach, not a single bit was wasted.
After all, Selina felt more sorry for the US dollar, so she secretly threw the prawns into its mouth.
The gold nuggets are like pistachios that people eat, but they don’t spit out the shells. They can be eaten in a few chews.
Luke just reminded him: "Boiled shrimps are quick and easy, don't feed them this all the time."
Selena thought about it and decided to throw crabs, sea urchins and tuna meat to the US dollars instead.
Luke remained silent.
Generally speaking, crabs and sea urchins are exclusively for Gold Nuggets, and no one competes with them for them.
We didn’t buy rare tuna like bluefin tuna, but only common yellowfin tuna and albacore tuna.
Moreover, the best way to cook tuna is to make sashimi, that is, eat it raw.
They were all quite large, so Luke only made some sashimi for himself and Selina to taste, and the rest were all gold nuggets.
Who made it like to eat raw seafood!
After working for about ten minutes, Luke and his friend managed to move all the things into the newly purchased extra-large freezer.
Yes, now we have a big freezer at home, the kind that can hold a cow, and it is placed separately in the basement outside the house.
Before Luke went to Antarctica, his family didn't have this thing.
So, it wasn't Luke who bought it, it was... Nugget who bought it.
Luke wasn't too curious about the fact that Gold Nugget claimed that it was the one who bought the freezer.
The worst that could happen is to drag Selena up and have her choose to pay. This operation is too simple and leaves no room for imagination.
After the ingredients were put in here, the blanched prawns over there were also out of the oven.
After the ingredients arrived home, if two guys were not allowed to have a good meal, they would feel uncomfortable for the whole morning.
It felt like playing a game where you were only one monster away from leveling up.
Then, Luke made a rare tuna sandwich and cooked a lot of it in one go.
Selina quickly wrapped the sandwiches in paper, stuffed two into brown paper bags, and put them into the food box: "Delivering lunch directly today?"
Luke shrugged. "It's a rare opportunity to buy seafood, so I'll just do it. I'm too lazy to bake cakes."
Selina chuckled and didn't protest his laziness.
Making sandwiches and pastries is similar to the difference between instant noodles and hand-rolled noodles, although the sandwiches are much more expensive than the pastries.
After picking up the food box, the two went out and, as usual, entered the main crime unit lobby at 8:45.
Seeing Luke coming back, everyone smiled and nodded to greet him.
As for what Luke had been doing recently, no one asked. Everyone knew that he often went on missions that needed to be kept secret, so no one would be so tactless as to ask.
Selena called everyone over and asked them to help themselves to the tuna sandwiches.
Everyone is still quite happy.
Compared to the fast food outside, this tuna sandwich is a rare treat.
Billy Wang, the old Chinese guy, was the most gluttonous. He just opened the bag, took a look at the tuna in the sandwich, and smiled, "This fish is very good. Where did you buy it?"
Selina: "The seafood market in the San Gabriel Valley."
Billy Wang smacked his lips and gave a thumbs up: "You are indeed an expert in eating." He took the sandwich and walked away satisfied.
Selina watched the old man leave and couldn't help but whisper to Luke: "... Why do I feel that he looks a lot like the owner of the seafood store?"
Luke burst out laughing: "Billy Wang is only 39, he's not an old man."
Selina raised her finger and pointed at him: "You said that, not me."
Luke: …
The two then went to Elsa's office.
Of course, Elsa had seen the two men coming and was not surprised by Luke's appearance.
She casually put away her and Dustin's fish sandwiches and said, "There haven't been many difficult cases recently. The Stark Fair has suddenly improved the security in Los Angeles."
Luke laughed and said, "But the DA and the judge are both cursing, right?"
Elsa shrugged. "Of course. Every DA has dozens or even hundreds of suspects to convict recently. The judge has told headquarters many times that he hopes we won't increase law enforcement efforts recently."
Luke nodded: "That's good. By the way, Boss, how about coming to my house for dinner this afternoon?"
Elsa looked at him: "Afternoon? Dinner?"
Luke: "You can't sunbathe at night. Didn't you just say that the DA and the judge want us to reduce the intensity of law enforcement? You just give yourself a break."
Elsa was both amused and confused, but after thinking about it, she nodded: "Okay. But why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"
Luke: "I went to the seafood market today and bought some Chilean king crabs. It's a good opportunity to try them together."
Elsa was speechless.
Most police officers are reluctant to buy this thing because it is a bit expensive.
How could someone go to the seafood market to buy them? The seafood market sells them whole, so the price of one fish must be quite high.
Nodding, she gave up on exploring the daily expenses of a certain rich young detective.
Luke and the other went out, and when they got in the car, Selina looked at the scenery on the roadside and asked casually, "Where are we going now?"
"Find an acquaintance who you don't know very well and do something for him." Luke answered casually.
As the car drove past on the street, Luke suddenly sighed, "No wonder they asked us to reduce the intensity of law enforcement. How come even those familiar thugs are gone on the street? I remember that there were usually a few thugs selling weed at those two intersections just now, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Selina in the co-pilot seat moved her body and unconsciously tilted her head to the window: "Yeah, yes, yes."
Meidao, who was originally sitting in the back seat, suddenly leaned forward with his ears drooping, and only glanced at Luke in the front seat with his small eyes.
