Jing Yuxi sat cross-legged on the floor, observing the fish swimming outside through a transparent film, feeling strange and dreamy.
Deep-sea fish that she could only see on TV before swam leisurely past her. Occasionally, a fish that had fallen behind would suddenly look at her for a second, then suddenly turn its head and swim away quickly.
Outside the store was a flat seabed, with beautiful and gorgeous corals like a carpet, stretching from the dark depths all the way to the front of the store, with fish with strange patterns swimming through it.
This was a completely different world, undisturbed by the outside world, leisurely and stable, like a paradise.
Jing Yuxi's shoulders collapsed unconsciously, and she exhaled a foul breath. Her dry heart seemed to suddenly regain vitality and began to beat vigorously again.
She was surprised that she really needed to relax.
She actually always thought that she was in good condition, with clear goals and self-discipline. As long as she followed the plan step by step, she would be able to step onto the top stage of the classical music world.
She spent all her energy preparing and dared not relax for a moment, but her condition got worse and worse, and even some unreasonable things began to happen.
The doctor kept urging her to relax, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
Sitting in this dreamy pet store that looked like a jellyfish, she miraculously found her normal state of relaxation.
"Meow~" A
lazy voice sounded, and the back of her hand touched a furry ball. Jing Yuxi lowered her head and saw a little beetle pulling the tassels on her denim shorts.
She seldom comes into contact with small animals. It's not that she doesn't like them, but it's too energy-consuming and she can easily get addicted. She
usually tries her best to avoid them and not pay attention to them.
But this little cat is so cute, with big, watery eyes and fluffy, soft fur, which easily wins people's love.
She reached out and touched it, her eyebrows slightly raised. It looked like a freshly steamed bean paste bun, white, plump, soft and warm.
Bai Jing gently waved the cat toy stick with a bell, and Tianka was immediately attracted to it. She jumped up with small steps and flicked the colorful feathers hanging under the string with her front paws.
He introduced: "This is Tianka, who loves to act coquettishly. There is also a little orange with a wronged face in the cat's nest, which is also very cute."
Jing Yuxi's heart almost melted when she saw the plastic wrap hiding in the nest.
It had fluffy soft fur, a round face, a wrinkled nose, and a wronged face.
She moved over to remove the plastic wrap and looked up at Bai Jing: "You are very familiar with this place."
"Yes, I come here almost every day when I'm not working. When I stay here, my mood will become very calm, and I will feel relaxed, like recharging." Bai Jing confessed.
Jing Yuxi looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "You have changed a lot." It
was completely different from when he was a teenager. It seemed that he had restrained all his sharpness and suddenly became gentle and peaceful.
Bai Jing put his hands behind his back and let Tianka crawl on his legs. "Time has to leave something."
Qingmei came out of the kitchen and brought a plate of seafood sashimi, including the freshest sweet shrimp, thick-cut tuna, fresh sea urchin and white sashimi, as well as a plate of fried crab, with seafood dipping sauce, fresh lemon, and iced sour plum soup.
Jing Yuxi had a stomachache recently and didn't plan to eat sashimi, so she picked up half a crab and ate it.
The crab was very fresh and fried very fragrant.
But Bai Jing ate sashimi piece by piece and fed Tianka and Dai Jiaobu sashimi. She couldn't help but tasted the sweet shrimp.
The live shrimps just taken out of the fish tank were cleaned and chilled. They were sweet and sticky, and the texture and taste were indescribable.
Jing Yuxi couldn't help but pick up a piece of sea urchin, squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on it, and dipped it in a little mustard soy sauce. It was sweet and dense, and she was so satisfied that her pores opened up. "This is so delicious! It's a hundred times sweeter than the seafood I ate on the coast of Reims!"
She tasted the thick-cut tuna and sashimi one by one, which was so delicious that it made her eyebrows drop. Finally, she took a sip of the iced sour plum soup, which bloomed directly on the tip of her tongue in summer. In
one word, it's delicious!
The neurotic gastritis that has been bothering her recently has rarely flared up, and she even enjoys it more and more.
Bai Jing saw that she couldn't stop eating, so she picked up a sweet shrimp, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to her. "Do you want to try feeding cats? They are also very cute when they eat."
Jing Yuxi was a little curious, so she took a piece of shrimp and fed it to the anxiously begging Dai Jiaobu.
The little kitten kept "smacking" when eating, and ate very slowly. After eating, it would lick the palm of her hand where she had placed the shrimp.
Watching the sea, petting cats, and eating seafood, time seemed to stand still.
Bai Jing chatted with Jing Yuxi for a while, turned over and picked up Tianka, lying on his back in the corner, and slowly closed his eyes.
Dai Jiaobu curled up at Jing Yuxi's feet and fell asleep, but she was not sleepy at all. She leaned over slightly, lying on the transparent wall film, and fascinatedly observed the fish swimming around the store.
The relaxing time passed quickly. The sun set in the west, the deep sea became dark, and the guests left one by one.
The three guard cats were already exhausted and hid under the low stool, unwilling to move.
Lu Yao came out of the kitchen holding Er Xin, and Bai Jing and the other two were still there.
Tian Ka was lying on his back in the arms of Doctor Bai, and the man and the cat were sleeping soundly.
Miss Jing held up the adhesive tape and followed the fish swimming outside with small steps along the wall membrane.
The adhesive tape's eyes were very serious.
Seeing that they were having so much fun, Lu Yao was embarrassed to urge them to leave.
Er Xin struggled to get out of Lu Yao's hands, fell to the ground, and stretched lazily.
This time, she slept from noon to dusk, and Queen Er Xin slept comfortably.
Jing Yuxi saw Lu Yao and smiled, "It's so comfortable here. I can sit all day just to watch the fish without getting tired. They are so leisurely and carefree." Lu Yao
is naturally happy when customers have a good experience in the store.
She also felt the same way when she first came here. The life of fish is too leisurely.
It's just that she keeps diving and gradually becomes familiar with this sea area, and has some different views.
Not far away, there is something like a rag on the seabed, swaying with the current. Lu Yao
immediately lay down beside the wall, pointed outside, and whispered to Jing Yuxi, "Look there."
Jing Yuxi didn't understand, but also looked in the direction of the owner's finger.
A piece of light brown seaweed floated with the ocean current, like a piece of rag.
What's so good about this?
The next second, a thin white marine fish curiously approached the seaweed and was suddenly entangled. After struggling for a while, it gradually turned over on its belly.
Jing Yuxi: "..." Lu Yao
's eyes lit up slightly, "That is a sail-fin scorpionfish, living on the bottom of the seabed, and completing its hunting by imitating seaweed to lure food."
"Oh..." Jing Yuxi was a little speechless, not knowing what to say, and his good mood was scared away by that.
Lu Yao pointed to a cluster of pink and white gorgonians not far away, and said excitedly: "There is a pygmy seahorse living on that coral. In order to hide itself, it makes its skin color the same as that of the coral, and its body is covered with calcified nodules of the same color, trying to blend in with the coral." "
It sounds so cute." Jing Yuxi became a little interested.
Lu Yao took out his phone and flipped to the album. "This is the video I took after searching for several hours."
In the middle of the pink and white branch-like coral, there is a small seahorse that gently rolls up the coral branch with its tail.
It has a round belly and a mouth like a hair dryer, sucking and rolling, and it looks exactly like the coral branch next to it.
Jing Yuxi looked for a long time before finding it, "It's really cute."
The next second, the owner gently extended his index finger and carefully placed it on the bottom of the pygmy seahorse.
The comparison made Jing Yuxi stunned. The small seahorse was only as big as the owner's fingernail.
It's so mini, no wonder it's called a pygmy seahorse.
Lu Yao: "After the baby seahorse is born, it will choose a coral to live in, and gradually synchronize its skin color with it. It may never leave this coral for the rest of its life."
Jing Yuxi blinked and fell into deep thought.
Lu Yao: "Are all the fish in the deep sea beautiful? Their patterns are amazing and their colors are gorgeous. In fact, they have evolved to avoid natural enemies and intimidate predators."
Fish do not have the smart brains, sharp teeth, and perfect hunting skills of sea beasts. In order to survive, they continue to evolve camouflage skills, choose to coexist with other sea creatures, or degenerate some body functions and dive into the deep sea.
"The underwater world is just like our lives, busy, thrilling, and unstable. But why do these fish look so relaxed?" Lu Yao lowered his head and stroked his head, "Maybe because fish are too stupid. They don't constantly recall the past and worry about the future like humans do."
Jing Yuxi felt a stab in her heart, and suddenly remembered something that happened before her condition deteriorated.
About a year ago, she was preparing for an international competition, and during that time she went to a concert with a friend, which happened to be the debut performance of a musical genius.
The performer had just turned seventeen, and performed Liszt's works with perfect skills and rich emotions, which was intimidating.
After returning home, she would occasionally recall the melody played by the performer in her mind.
In order to get rid of this inexplicable emotion, she increased her practice and filled all her time. Soon she began to suffer from insomnia, loss of appetite, and bad luck.
Jing Yuxi covered her face and couldn't help laughing.
She almost pushed herself into a desperate situation because of such a simple thing.
Lu Yao took the tape from her hand, turned around and put the kittens into the airline box one by one, and said casually: "It's dark, the cats are scared, I have to send them out. What can you do?"
Jing Yuxi stepped forward, "Shopkeeper, I want to apply for a membership card for the furry shop."
Although I have found my problem, this world is really hard to let go.
Cats are soft and cute, and fish are hardworking.
It would be a pity to only meet once.
Bai Jing woke up in a daze. Jing Yuxi had already exchanged contact information with Lu Yao and agreed to hand in the card in five days.
She will also soon have a bracelet engraved with the owner's name.
After watching Bai and Jing leave, Lu Yao returned to the store to pick up the airline box.
[Successfully received one hundred guests, mission completed! Reward popularity value of 20,000 points, A-level skill mind induction (bird and beast version)! ]
[Lu Yao's furry shop has become more popular and upgraded to a two-star shop, with a reward popularity value of 10,000 points. Please keep working hard, shop owner! ]
[You have a new mission! Furry Shop helps one hundred guests leave the sea of garbage, and is rewarded with a popularity value of 100,000 points, and the shop is upgraded for free once! 】
Unknowingly, the Furry Shop has received a hundred guests, and the next stage of the task will be more difficult.
Help the guests leave the garbage sea. Those people can't stay in the sea forever.
Let's talk about the task tomorrow.
At the moment, she is more interested in the bird-beast version of the telepathy skill she just got.
There is an extra black skill card in the warehouse, and the skill description is written on the card.
[A-level skill card: Telepathy (Bird-Beast Version). In the world with the Star Gate, you can hear the voice of the small animal by touching it. 】
As soon as Lu Yao finished reading the skill description, the card turned into a light spot and dissipated at his fingertips.
System: [The owner has successfully obtained the A-level skill Telepathy (Bird-Beast Version). Lu Yao
couldn't wait to find the cats to test it out. She was really interested in what was going on in the cats' heads.
But at this moment, it was already dark in the garbage sea. The cats in the airline boxes felt uneasy and began to meow anxiously.
Lu Yao had no choice but to take them out and send them to the nail salon.
At this time, the snack bar was about to open for night snacks.
The furry shop had recently bought a lot of fresh seafood, and Lu Yao had originally planned to send a batch of seafood to the snack bar today.
The shop was too busy in the afternoon, and Xiao Ji was not there, so she forgot about it.
Lu Yao released the cats, and hurried back to the furry shop to pick up seafood and sent it to the snack bar.
The snack bar was already open for night snacks, and it was as lively as ever.
Today is the day for Xingzi, Xiaoqie, Baiming, Quanshengju to take turns, Mengqin and Ningyun are also here.
They have already finished work, but they still want to have a late night snack.
In order to get a late night snack, they help to greet customers in the store.
"Owner!" Xiaoqie found Lu Yao and immediately squeezed through the crowd to find her, "Why are you here at this time?"
The purple-haired boy was not hiding his happiness, and his voice was particularly loud.
The customers in the store turned their heads to look over, and then greeted Lu Yao one after another.
"Owner, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"The owner, I want to ask you to help me make a soul-returning dish. I think I found the meal I miss the most."
"Owner, I want to trouble you too!"
Soul-returning dishes must be cooked by the owner himself, and only when the customers eat them can they return to the Pure Land.
Since the first time someone's soul returned to the Pure Land in the store, customers would ask Lu Yao for help from time to time.
This is not a difficult task, as Lu Yao would usually make an appointment at a certain time to cook for these customers.
Xingzi came over immediately to greet them, and those who needed soul-returning dishes to register at the window and make an appointment.
Bai Ming took the opportunity to pull Lu Yao to the kitchen, "Owner, what's the matter with you coming here at this time?"
Lu Yao took out two large baskets of seafood from his portable warehouse, including sea urchin, sweet shrimp, sea bream, small octopus, and half a plump tuna.
"The newly opened store is near the sea, so it's very easy to get seafood. I forgot about it during the day, and just remembered to send it over now. Do any of you like it?"
Ning Yun returned to the kitchen from the lobby. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened and he couldn't help swallowing. "I didn't expect that I would have the chance to eat sashimi in this life. The owner is so great! You are simply my blue fat guy!"
Xiao Qie couldn't help but retort: "What blue fat guy? The owner is not fat at all."
Ning Yun's joy and sorrow were all shown on his face. At this time, he was so happy that he was crazy. He was beaming with joy and looked at Xiao Qie with pity, "It turns out that there is no blue fat guy in your world. Simply put, the owner is my God!" Lu Yao's
spine tingled and his face wrinkled: "...Where on earth did you know this kind of 'crappy' joke?"
Did you learn it from the players in the amusement park?
Ning Yun: "The computer you put on the fourth floor is better than ours, and you can see a lot of interesting things on it."
So that's it.
Lu Yao bought four new computers at the time. The blind box store used two as the system, and the remaining two were left in Dream Country and the nail salon respectively.
"Can you access the Internet?" Lu Yao was surprised.
Ning Yun nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, but not completely."
Lu Yao: "..."
It can be seen that Ning Yun must have surfed a lot.
Xiao Qie didn't understand, and frowned like a subway grandpa looking at his phone.
The guests sitting in the lobby were overjoyed when they heard that the snack bar would add a limited seafood menu tonight.
"Sea urchin, sea urchin! Shopkeeper, I want to eat sea urchin!"
"Sweet and sticky shrimp, I'm going crazy!"
"Do you have oysters? Give me a plate of steamed oysters!"
"Garlic oysters are the best in the world, no objections!"
Unfortunately, the furry shop has not yet developed an oyster "supplier", but fresh shrimp, sashimi, tuna, and sea urchin are enough to make the customers happy.
They have gotten rid of life and death and no longer have to worry about health problems.
The unique taste and sweetness of seafood once again give them a fresh taste experience.
This night, it was another food carnival belonging to the snack bar.
The next morning, other employees and NPCs from the amusement park next door heard that the store had a seafood party last night, and they were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Qing learned from Bai Ming that they had eaten sashimi, grilled seafood, and sea urchin rice, and fell into a long silence.
Yesterday was the first time he went back to his residence to rest after working overtime for half a month, and the owner unexpectedly attacked him.
He also wanted to eat seafood!
But Chi didn't get to eat it either, and was more upset than him.
Lu Yao returned to the nail salon late at night, washed up, fell asleep on the bed, and completely forgot about studying "telepathy".
