In the early spring, the sun is warm, and the branches are blooming with cherry blossoms.
Xicheng, which was originally in the south of the Yangtze River, also began to enter a colorful atmosphere.
A butterfly flew from the rose flower in the green belt on the street, and its goose-yellow wings fluttered, and it passed the rows of shop front doors in front.
In a medium-sized restaurant with the Yuxiang family engraved on the plaque, guests enter from time to time.
The hotel has made a glass window. People walking outside can clearly see the rows of transparent water tanks behind the window. Various species of river fish, shrimp and crabs swim in the gridded water tanks.
Outside the window, a fat raccoon with gray and white tabbys was lying lazily on the mat. The cat was fed extremely fat by the owner of the fish shop. The fat sea cucumber circle of water is there.
At this moment, the eyes of this fat sea cucumber first stared at the butterfly that was gradually flying away, and the next second, it was attracted by the splash of someone fishing for fish behind the window.
I saw a net bag for fishing constantly stirring in the tank of black fish. The fish inside avoided left and right but still could not escape. One of the largest and most energetic black fish was quickly fished out.
"Just eat this!" The customer who fished out the fish in the restaurant said to the owner of the restaurant next to him. The black fish caught was very energetic.
"Okay!" The boss skillfully put the fish in the net on the weighing scale, "Guest, you have such a good eye, this is the best black fish in the store at the moment!... It's a total of two catties and three taels, what do the guests think? Eat? Baked or made pickled fish?"
"The fish is divided into two halves, let's do both." The fish-fishing guest asked his companions and gave such a reply.
"Okay, I'll be here soon! Let's find a seat first, I'll send the fish to the back." The boss responded immediately, and greeted the staff on standby next to him to lead the guests to a seat, and went to the kitchen with the fish by himself. While walking, he shouted loudly, "Table 10, one grilled fish and one pickled fish!"
The diners who were seated near the gate listened to the boss's vigorous shouting. All of them were in a good mood, chatting and waiting for the food to be served.
"This restaurant tastes good, and the chef's fish is excellent!"
"Yes, I came here to eat grilled fish once last month, and the taste is absolutely amazing!"
"I ordered another pickled fish this time. I don't know if it's delicious."
The voices of the diners reached the door, and the fat liuhua who was lying outside shook his ears, stood up from the mat, got into the store, and walked through the waiter's heels to the kitchen at the back.
In the back kitchen across the door and wall, the boss holding the black fish before threw the fish into a tank, and then took out a black fish that was about the same weight but apparently half-dead from another tank that also contained fish and handed it to him. The chef: "Do it with this one."
The two water tanks, one filled with spirited fish and the other filled with shriveled fish that were about to rest, combined with the boss's previous actions already explained everything.
The kitchen worker who was in charge of killing the fish and scraping the scales had no objection at all. After taking the shriveled fish, he went to the fish washing area to brush the brush and started work, obviously he was used to it.
Sitting in the corner of the kitchen door, the fat lihua took this scene into his eyes, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, first glanced at the water tank with fresh live fish with great regret, and then walked towards the killer with a fat cat. fish worker.
"Meow—" Fatty always has a beautiful voice that is contrary to his appearance, and this fat raccoon flower is no exception. When he stretched his voice to act like a spoiled fishman, the meowing sound was absolutely incredible.
And the kitchen worker in charge of killing the fish also smiled immediately when he heard the meow: "I'm here to eat again, wait a minute, oh ball, I'll give it to you when it's done."
A few minutes later, the fat raccoon balls harvested some of the cat's favorite fishy food such as fish gills and fish, and they ate them without raising their heads.
The owner is the owner of this fish restaurant. He runs a small stove from time to time every day. It is no surprise that the meatballs are so fat.
Waiting for the fat raccoon to enjoy the meal slowly, the fast-running back kitchen had already made the scrambled fish into two delicious dishes and sent them out. The two guests ate happily, completely unaware of the secrets in the kitchen.
In less than an hour, they walked out of the door contentedly, feeling their stomachs.
"Hey, the boss's cat escorted us at the door."
"Sure enough, it's the cat in the fish restaurant. It's really fat."
The two talked and laughed and left, only Maruko, who was leaning against the gate, watched their backs and licked his mouth.
Oh, stupid human, deceived by its master again.
Not long after, it heard the familiar footsteps behind it and turned its head, and saw a kitchen worker walking out of the back kitchen with a bucket. He carried the bucket and dumped it into the tank where the blackfish had been stored, and several blackfish got in. In the water tank, the previously empty water tank was replenished, and the diners who were full and walked away did not find that the fish they ordered earlier had returned to their original positions.
The meatball yawned in a boring way. The master was tired of watching it, but it was a pity that he couldn't eat the biggest black fish. From the first day that the black fish came, the meatballs stared at it, but The snow has melted and the flowers have opened, but it still hasn't eaten.
At this moment, a blue car drove into the empty parking space in front of the store. After slowly stopping, a man and a woman came down from it.
"Yuxiang's family?" Lin Lan looked at the lintel of the hotel in front of her, then turned to look at Cheng Fengyang next to her, "Is this here?"
"Yes, this is the place." Putting the car keys in his pocket, Cheng Fengyang nodded with a smile, "Although this is my first time here, this is the unanimous recommendation of my company's foodie colleagues, saying that the grilled fish inside is a must-have. You won't be disappointed if you try it."
"So many designers have said that, then I will definitely try it." Lin Lan replied, "Alright, this time you treat me to pay for it, and I'll wait for you to arrange it after entering the store."
"That's for sure!" The other party slapped his chest and assured him, "Leave it all to me later!"
The two walked towards the door of the store while talking. When they were about to enter the door, Lin Lan saw the fat raccoon flower in front of the window. Because it was too fat, she couldn't help but subconsciously took a second look.
This raccoon cat looked fat, but it had a very keen eye for people, and immediately looked up. When the eyes of one person and the cat met, the fat raccoon meowed at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Fengyang, who was next to him, asked when he saw it. Today, he finally made an appointment with his sweetheart. The young man was so happy in his heart that his face seemed casual, but in fact he was always paying attention to the every move of the people beside him.
"It's nothing." Lin Lan shook her head, "Let's go in."
She couldn't tell Cheng Fengyang that the little fat cat just said something like "two more stupid humans are going to be my masters".
fooled? What to do
Is the owner of this shop selling fake fish or doing other defrauding customers
Lin Lan became vigilant in her heart, but she followed Cheng Fengyang into the store on the face, and she saw the shop owner with a diligent smile on her face. Cheng Fengyang had already accepted the fishing net handed over by the other party.
"Eat grilled fish or choose black fish for the best taste." The young man smiled at Lin Lan while holding the fishing net, and walked to the water tank with black fish, "Wait, Lan Lan, I'll pick the best one for you! "
The fishing net was stirred again in the water tank. Not long after that, the big black fish that was selected by the previous batch of guests was caught again. The big black fish was tossed several times in a short period of time, and the strength of the struggle was a little smaller than the last time.
"The customer's eyesight is so good, this is the best black fish in the store at the moment!" The boss gave the rainbow fart at this time, reached out to pick up the fish that Cheng Fengyang handed over, and skillfully placed it on the scale next to it.
When weighing the fish, Lin Lan saw that the fat cat who was outside had entered the store and sat beside the water tank, staring straight at the big black fish in the net pocket, and let out a cry.
"Meow-" (You can't eat this fish, like me, you can only see it in the water.)
Fat lihua just casually murmured to herself, but in Lin Lan's ears, the amount of information was very rich. In almost a few seconds, Lin Lan understood what kind of restaurant the fat cat's words meant.
"A total of two catties and three taels, what do the guests want to eat? Baked or sauerkraut fish?" The owner of the shop who had already finished weighing asked the guests enthusiastically what they would like to eat.
Lin Lan quickly stepped forward: "Cheng Fengyang..."
As soon as she spoke, the young man in front of him who was negotiating with the boss raised his hand: "Don't be busy."
When the boss was puzzled, Cheng Fengyang reached out and grabbed the fish on the scale, then lifted it high and slammed it to the ground.
The fish was unable to fall, and the people around were also stunned.
But the man who threw the fish did not stop. He picked up the fish from the ground and threw it again.
"Okay, now there's no problem." Cheng Fengyang, who was completely sure that the fish fell to his death, took two tissues at the front desk to wipe his hands, looked up and said to the stunned shop owner, "It's all made into grilled fish, let's do another one. A preserved egg tofu and a bottle of beer. We'll just sit... at table 8."
Once God came back, the young man had already arranged everything properly.
Carrying the dead black fish, the shop owner tried his best to raise a slightly stiff smile: "Roasted fish and preserved egg tofu, right, arrange it right away!" Probably not wanting to see Cheng Fengyang's face again, he hurriedly carried the fish to the kitchen Anxiously, "Table 8, grilled fish and preserved egg tofu!"
The boss walked in such a hurry that he didn't notice that Fat Lihua happily followed along with his hind legs.
(Eat the big fish, eat the big fish! Fresh big fish!)
Lin Lan: "..." What should I do, I suddenly wanted to laugh.
No, she has to hold back.
Until she sat down at the table and walked away from the waiter who brought the tableware, Lin Lan still couldn't hold back her laughter, and let out a low laugh.
Cheng Fengyang felt embarrassed when she saw her sudden smile: "I didn't mean to do this on purpose, I was really scared by the tricks of the restaurant now, that's all I can do."
"What?" Originally thought that Cheng Fengyang had discovered that the shop was secretly changing fish, but after hearing the tone, Lin Lan couldn't help being stunned, "So you're not sure yet?"
"It's my first time here, how can I be sure." Cheng Fengyang didn't hide anything, and said directly, "I had this habit by accident when I was eating at another fish restaurant with my brothers last summer. At first, we all I don’t know that there will be tricks of secretly changing fish in the fish restaurant, but that day when we left home, someone found their belongings in the store on the way back, and when we turned back, we happened to see the clerk put the fish we picked earlier back. The water tank. I personally picked the fish, of course I have an impression, I can see it at a glance."
Encountering such a thing, it is of course impossible for a few men to pretend that it did not happen, and immediately rushed in to find the store owner's theory. Although the latter store refunded their meal money for the sake of peace of mind, Cheng Fengyang and a few were still depressed by this incident. .
"After that, I would do this every time I go to the fish restaurant to eat." Cheng Fengyang said this with a serious and serious face, "At most, it's better to be thick-skinned and get rolled your eyes, than to be at a loss for nothing."
Lin Lan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. This is really life wisdom, but it's really a lot of insight.
After a while, the grilled fish was delivered. The rectangular grill pan was filled with black fish cut in half, and the fish meat mixed with the fresh aroma of the sauce penetrated into the nostrils, and the smell of it made my fingers move.
Designer Cheng even observed the length of the fish's body critically, and nodded solemnly at the end: "This length is correct, the one I picked." Then he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Lin Lan laughed again.
"By the way, Lan Lan, do you remember what I told you earlier about introducing you to business?"
