Chapter 62 Brother(1/2)
"Lin Qi, why don't we come to Su Ye to celebrate the New Year tonight?"
"Brother, didn't I tell you before? I should be participating in training in Pengcheng now. If you still invite me to a place with a lot of people like this, do you think I won't die quickly enough?"
"Hey? Are your uncles and aunts like to go to bars to celebrate the New Year? Or are there any relatives and friends in your family who are friendly with you? You are just pretending to be here. Do you think you are a big star? There is no one in the bar because it is black and blue.
Can I recognize you?"
"That guy Chen Jianan jumped on the street and asked us to go to a bar tonight for New Year's Eve. Are you interested?"
"Can you please hold your phone a little further away next time you want to say something bad about me? I will be very embarrassed if you let me hear it like this."
Chen Jianan complained angrily on the other end of the phone.
It turns out that Lin Qi just turned around and asked Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was looking at the seafood in rapt attention, when he didn't even bother to hold his cell phone away.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaoxiao, who originally thought he would refuse, actually nodded inexplicably.
agreed.
What are you doing? Didn’t you hate those noisy places with many people in the past?
How have you changed now?
But since even Zhang Xiaoxiao had already nodded in agreement, Lin Qi naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, okay, the two of us will go there tonight. And what I just said was actually meant for you to hear, throw yourself on the street!"
"I got it, let's hit the streets!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"You actually agreed to go to a place like a bar, and it's New Year's Eve. Do you know that there will be a lot of people tonight?"
"Well, I know, I haven't been there before anyway, so I just went to see it."
Zhang Xiao explained casually and carelessly.
Because her eyes were always fixed on the pot of conch in front of her.
The average size of those internal snails must be as big as her fist.
At the same time, their fat bodies that are constantly wriggling at the mouth of the shell are enough to prove the freshness of these soft-bodied creatures.
Lynch and the others are now at the largest meat and vegetable market in S City, preparing to purchase ingredients for tonight's meal.
During the two days they lived together in the rental house, Lin Qi basically cooked.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was very happy after eating.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed at the pot of conch she had coveted for a long time. Her watery eyes were filled with affection, and she looked straight at Lin Qi.
Then he stretched out his other hand and grabbed Lynch's sleeve, shook it a few times, and said something sweet and flattering.
"Brother, brother! How about we eat this tonight?!"
!!!
Lin Qi felt like his whole body went numb instantly.
She actually called me brother!
This is my brother!
Not to mention wanting to eat a few snails!
Even if my sister wants to eat dragon meat, my brother will find a way to help her kill a dragon!
Lin Qi suddenly felt infinite pride and ambition in his heart.
"Boss, how much does this snail cost per pound?"
"This is a wild snail, which is relatively expensive, costing 200 yuan per catty."
The seafood stall owner answered a little casually.
The young couple/couple in front of me has been standing in front of his stall since the man started answering the phone just now.
They had been standing there for a while, but the woman's eyes were still staring at the conchs, and her eyeballs almost popped out. It was obvious that she really wanted to eat them.
But judging from their clothes, they probably don't look like people who can afford these things.
Maybe I can only watch it fresh in the end!
So even if a man asks the price at the begging of a woman, the boss doesn't think they will be able to buy it in the end.
This thing is not originally prepared for ordinary families.
One such snail basically has to weigh 1 tael more than 2 taels. Even if each person buys one to try it out, it will cost 70 or 80 yuan, but after cooking, it only takes one or two bites per person.
To be honest, it is better to buy those smaller flower snails. The taste will not be much worse, but the price is only a quarter of the internal snails.
After all, when you open the door to do business, you still have to make money.
So at this moment, he was already thinking about how to guide the young couple to buy those snails that were more cost-effective and easier to buy.
But what surprised the boss was that after hearing the price, the woman didn't show any special reaction and still looked full of expectations.
Didn't she hear the price clearly?
Or is it simply not sensitive to prices?
Just when he was confused, the man spoke up, and what he said was more in line with the boss's expectations.
"Boss, can this snail be cheaper?"
"Young man, my small business doesn't have much profit to begin with. Why don't you consider..."
Just when the boss was about to guide Lynch to consider other options, Lynch suddenly said something else.
"If you can make it cheaper, I'll cover it all."
All covered???
When the boss heard this, he was obviously stunned.
Young man, are you kidding me? Or are you crazy about gain and loss?
These snails weigh a full four or five kilograms, and you actually told me that you packed them?
Do you think you are getting goods from a restaurant food stall?
"boss?"
Lin Qi found that his boss suddenly became stunned for some reason, so he called him.
Lynch was so elated that he didn't even notice the complicated thoughts of his boss.
At this moment, all he cares about is how to satisfy Zhang Xiaoxin.
There seem to be only twenty or thirty snails here, so if one person eats a dozen or so, it’s actually not bad.
Anyway, most of the weight comes from the shell, and the actual snail meat inside is actually not that heavy.
The point is, if you don’t let your wife eat so much that she explodes at once, you will be sorry for her soothing ‘brother’!
This is Lin Qi’s rich and willful way of doting on his wife!
"Do you really want them all? There must be at least five or six kilograms here." The boss who came back to his senses was still a little unsure, but he didn't look at Lynch as if he was joking.
"fine."
"Then you wait first."
After saying that, the boss took the pot and snails directly to the scale. At first glance, he found that it weighed 6 kilograms.
"Young man, otherwise, as for this snail, I'll sell it to you for 200 yuan per catty, and then I'll give you 5 catties of all the snails. How about you give me 1,000 yuan?"
Lin Qi looked at the actual number on the electronic scale and made a quick judgment in his mind.
The broken stainless steel basin in which the snails are placed must not weigh more than half a catty, which means that I save about half a catty of money.
Buy 5 pounds and get half a pound free, which is equivalent to a 10% discount, not bad!
So Lynch nodded.
Seeing that there would be snails to eat tonight, Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled brighter and even took the initiative to rub his head on Lin Qi's shoulder and neck.
Lin Qi's whole body went numb instantly!
OMG! Are you a cat?
Before his rebirth, he had been with Zhang Xiaoxiao for twenty years, but he had never seen her like this.
Where did you learn these cool skills from?
Lin Qi's hand couldn't help but touch Zhang Xiaoxiao's head!
"Do you want anything else to eat?"
"I don't know. Brother can eat whatever he wants. I will follow his arrangements!"
Lin Qi felt like he was about to live in Bengbu!
no!
