In the evening, the outdoor temperature in Miami began to drop, but because it was adjacent to the ocean, the temperature dropped very slowly, which made people unknowingly experience the warm wind of the coastal city.

At this time, the seafood shops were no longer busy. The busiest thing was in the morning and afternoon. The chefs from various hotels came to check the quality of seafood for purchases. During lunch and dinner, it was the turn of restaurants and hotels to work, and the seafood shops were naturally deserted.

Of course, the business is still good. Many tourists who come to Miami will come to seafood restaurants to buy some ingredients and then go to the restaurant outside to do OEM processing.

Butler is very capable, and the reputation of Daqin brand seafood has been played out. To be honest, the seafood from Daqin Fishery is indeed extraordinary, so even if the price is far higher than the similar market price, many people still prefer the seafood here.

This is related to Americans' consumption concepts. As long as the money in their hands allows, they will eat the best, not the cheapest ones.

When Qin Shiou went downstairs, he saw a few tourists dressed up and watching seafood under the guidance of a shopping guide. Butler introduced to him: "We mainly do high-end restaurants and hotels. Most of the buyers are from the middle class, and they are in the second customer echelon."

Miami has a strong consumption capacity. Before leaving, Qin Shiou asked the toll collector how much the turnover is today.

The toll collector said, "Forty-one,500 US dollars, ss."

Butler introduced that the staff in the store knew that this young Chinese young man was their big boss.

Qin Shiou sighed: "It's so terrible!"

Butler was not satisfied and said, "What's the matter? It's very common for a large hotel to purchase seafood at a day of 20,000 yuan. This just means that we have done business with twenty hotels. How many high-end restaurants and hotels in Miami are in total? More than two hundred! We have only done one-tenth of them."

After taking a bus out of Ant Street, Qin Shiou began to see the style of Miami, known as one of the top ten tourist cities in the world.

He originally thought he would see some beach beauty, a luxury car, and he saw a series of old houses.

The wooden door frames that have been deformed due to disrepair, the broken and ancient door steps exposed inside bricks, and there are also walls covered with messy graffiti. Many simple-dressed children cheered and jogged in holding basketballs and footballs. Although the city outside Ant Street is full of vitality, it is a bit old.

"This is not a slum. It seems that you have a misunderstanding of Miami." Butler controlled the steering wheel and teased Qin Shiou. He understood his inner thoughts from his partner's expressions.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, man, I thought Miami only has high-rise buildings."

Butler laughed: "Where there is sunshine, there is shadow. There is no city in the United States. There are only high-rise buildings and no slums, especially the richer and luxurious city, the more this is the case."

Later, Butler introduced to Qin Shiou that this urban area is called Ant City, which is the old city of Miami. For people in the sea, seafood is the worst food, so Ant Street used to do business in the lower class.

With the economic growth of Miami and the development of tourism, the status of Ant Street has only increased with more tourists. Unfortunately, this has not helped Ant City much.

Indeed, Qin Shiou looked carefully and saw that many of the houses here could still capture their former glory traces based on their appearance structure or land size. Although these houses looked dilapidated, they could cover a considerable area and had a strong sense of heavy European and American architecture.

What Qin Shiou was curious about is that such a large old city area, why did no developers build CBD or develop residential buildings in the community?

Butler smiled and said, "Who dares to come? Do you know what the police station here is equipped with? Lightning-proof armored vehicles! At night, you will know how messy it is. The gunshots are like the sound of firecrackers. There are dozens of quick guns hidden in our store. Have you noticed it? The clerks I recruited are all rebellious young men?"

"I noticed that I thought you were a feature."

"No, it's not a special feature. They are all good at fighting. Many of them have retreated just now. Only they can shock the evil and sticks around them."

Qin Shiou didn't understand, "Then why did you choose the store here?"

Soon he understood that as the car turned, a small dock appeared in his sight and the car drove onto Linhai Avenue.

"It is the most convenient to transport seafood here. In addition, Ant Street has been glorious for two hundred years. Tourists around the world know that when you come to Miami to eat seafood, you can go to Ant Street, so how can we not take advantage of the situation? The most important thing is that the tax here is low, haha, if you open a seafood store here, we can save 40% of the tax!"

Butler laughed again. The Miami government wanted to develop Ant City, but it was too chaotic and mainly immigrants, and had a strong belief in resistance towards the government.

Therefore, the Miami City Government wanted to develop this urban area in a subtle way. They provided various benefits to attract companies and factories to enter and allow the urban area to grow on its own.

At present, this move has been somewhat effective, at least the roads in the urban area have become tidy.

Driving, Butler said: "In Miami, dining is the ultimate way to understand and experience the different styles of the city. Come, I'll take you to experience it slowly. This meal may last longer, so, my man, you have to be patient."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry, I just have patience."

This meal was indeed long enough. Butler first took Qin Shiou into a park, Massimo Gomez Park in Little Havana. He ordered two cups of Cuban coffee and sat next to the flower bed while enjoying the sunset.

"This is afternoon tea, man, this is not dinner yet," Butler smiled.

Qin Shiou raised his coffee cup and signaled to him: "It tastes good coffee, great afternoon tea."

There is a small open-air restaurant called Juan Restaurant next to the park. Butler waved to the waiter and ordered a boneless Long Island roast duck and red oil sherry roast rabbit meat. This is the afternoon tea meal.

Qin Shiou smiled and said that he always thought that afternoon tea was served with desserts, but he didn't expect it could be served with barbecue. Butler asked him to taste it.

The two exquisite barbecue served in the latter, which was made of Spanish flavor, and the grease was not greasy at all, so it was really good with coffee.

During this period, Qin Shiou called the fishermen. The guys were awake, but they went to take off their clothes and drink beer on the Wu Bar. When they answered the phone, they shouted and looked happy.

In this way, Qin Shiou did not ask them to come and have dinner together. He knew that these guys had no time to eat tonight. (To be continued...)
