Chapter 365: Fish That Can Only Be Grilled
In the guild, the salary of each member is divided by Cagalli, and the amount of salary is also determined by the performance of this member in the team. (8) (1) Chinese Ω 『Δ Net'.81.
However, in most cases, everyone is paid the same amount.
Now, although I am the president of the guild, this is at best a nominal and actual power of management, and Cagalli is still in charge.
It's not that she's hollowing me out, it's not that I want to delegate power, it's that I'm really not suitable to be a president, I'm loose by nature, freedom-loving, good at single brushing, Harold is right, I'm not born to be a president.
In order not to become a coolie who volunteered to deliver to my door, I decided to take a detour.
Seeing a group of people walking towards me, laughing and talking, I quickened my pace, slipped through the smoke, ran into another alley, and stood by the wall, looking out.
Florence and a few girls passed by talking and laughing, not noticing me hiding behind the wall, while Zach and the others were forced to laugh and laugh behind them, each carrying a bunch of bags in their hands, and were silent.
From the faces of several male compatriots, I read the sadness of accompanying women shopping, and the helplessness of having to carry such a lot of things.
I understand their mood very well at the moment, this kind of thing is not only the characteristic of Zephyr 6, but on the earth, how can there be no such sadness.
Or how can someone say: shopping is a paradise for women and a hell for men.
Without Loki's monkey-eyed and keen-eyed guys, Zack and the others wanted to hide behind the wall and peek at me, it was harder than climbing to the sky.
When they were far away, I walked around without a hurry and entered the seafood shop.
I occasionally visit this shop to see if there's any new seafood.
It's not that I like seafood, it's Barbara, although she is only half cat-people, she has inherited the habit of eating seafood, and has developed a strong interest in some edible fish that looks delicate and cute.
Luckily, their cat-people have some essential differences from the cats on Earth: they don't eat mice.
Otherwise, I really can't imagine Barbara kissing me and rubbing me with a mouthful of rat blood.
There are many fish tanks in the shop, and between each fish tank, there is a cabinet running ice magic, similar to the refrigerator on the earth, except that it is environmentally friendly, pollution-free, and has a constant temperature for a long time.
The doors of the cabinets are all open, and the slightest cool air is constantly flowing out, which is simply a supreme pleasure in this hot weather.
I was enjoying the coolness from the inside out, and a warm shout came from my side: "Little brother, are you visiting our store again?" ”
As soon as I turned my head, it was the owner of the shop.
The boss is a young man, dark skin, a look is an old bird who goes to the sea all the year round, good temper, very enthusiastic, although I have only been here a few times, he is very impressed with me, every time he takes the seafood away, he will always give me some more other seafood, not much, but warm-hearted, come and go, I became a regular customer of their house.
I smiled and said, "Well, here we go again." ”
"What seafood do you want this time?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Fish, it's a delicious fish that is grilled." ”
The shop owner walked quickly to a cabinet, took out a palm-sized fish from it, and said to me: "This kind of fish is delicious, fresh, and has a nourishing effect on the body."
As he spoke, he smiled at me with a lewd smile on his face.
I guess he must have misunderstood something, but for the sake of taste and freshness, I must buy a few and let Barbara taste them.
So I asked, "Why haven't you ever treated me with this fish before?" ”
The shop owner said innocently: "Don't blame me, this fish can only be roasted and eaten, other ways to eat, whether it is stewing and boiling, will melt in the pot, and in the end, except for a pair of fish bones, you can't find a little bit of fish meat out." ”
"Is it really that mysterious?" I'm a little skeptical.
The owner of the shop cut and said, "Look at you, I still don't believe it, so let's do it, for the sake of old customers, I'll show you how." ”
As he spoke, he ordered his man to take out a large pot from the back kitchen, fill it with water, and said to me: "Little brother, you have to see it clearly, if you don't look at it, and you want to see it next time, you have to pay for it yourself." ”
I nodded.
As he spoke, he placed the cauldron on top of the fire magic stove and heated it up, and in a short time the water in the pot was boiling.
At this time, the cauldron was also surrounded by customers, all of whom were staring into the pot, all without blinking, as if they were afraid of missing some wonderful bridge.
The shop owner didn't talk nonsense, scraped off the scales on the fish a few times, and without removing the internal organs, he directly threw the fish whole into the pot.
The water in the pot boiled more and more, and the fish in the water began to roll up and down incessantly.
Doubts began to appear in the crowd, and some began to whisper to the fish that had not disappeared in the cauldron, and several of them, finally losing their patience, turned away.
I scoffed and continued to stare at the cauldron, waiting for the miracle of the boss's mouth.
After about ten minutes, the fish still did not disappear, and there began to be a commotion in the crowd, and some customers began to discuss whether it was a gimmick deliberately made by the boss to attract customers, in fact, the fish could not have disappeared.
The chatter grew louder and louder, and I looked up to see that the boss's brow had been twisted into a pimple, and the dark face was dripping with sweat, crackling down his pointed chin and smashing on the ground, wetting a small piece of the ground in front of his toes.
I don't know if this sweat is because of the hot weather or because he is nervous.
The owner of this shop was originally enthusiastic to show me his fish, but now such an embarrassing stalk suddenly appeared, although it was not my intention, but after all, it had a little bit of a relationship with me, so I decided to break the atmosphere.
"Boss, boss!" I raised my voice and woke my boss out of his thoughts: "Fill me with ten...... Twenty of a kind, okay. ”
The shopkeeper sighed a few times, then came back to his senses, looked at me gratefully, and then turned and walked in the direction of the cabinet.
And at this moment, suddenly a customer shouted: "Look, the fish is gone!" ”
Just this sound gathered everyone's eyes and looked at the boiling cauldron.
In the cauldron, the churning white fish is really slowly getting smaller, and the trend of getting smaller is still very fast, and it can even be easily detected with the naked eye.
