Seeing the couple in pajamas, sitting on the floor with their backs against a transparent film, Lu Yao looked a little sad, so he asked Xiao Ji to bring a folding table over and set it against the wall.
She put down her meal and looked up and said, "Most of the guests here are alone. It's the first time that you guys come together, and you're seahorses."
Zhao Rou frowned, "What's so special about seahorses?"
Lu Yao said, "Seahorses are the only creatures in nature that are bred by males. Because male seahorses have brood pouches, the embryo is fertilized in the male's brood pouch and fully develops. The whole process takes about 50-60 days, and then the baby seahorse is born."
Lu Yao said it simply and calmly, but Xie Minghua's face still changed.
Unconsciously, he put himself in the shoes of a human being, and he was deeply terrified.
The concept of women parenting is deeply rooted. It not only includes the process of childbirth, but also the upbringing and education, and the mother is indispensable in the whole process.
Zhao Rou looked at Xie Minghua's pale face, exhaled, and smiled: "This is fresh."
Lu Yao's eyes wandered over the fingertips of the two people, and continued: "But I think what is more interesting is actually the life habits of seahorses. Their life span is about three to four years, and they have to face cruel survival challenges from birth. Depending on the species, a male seahorse can release hundreds to thousands of seahorse pups at a time, and among such a large number of pups, only a few to a dozen may survive to adulthood.
"Seahorses have no flippers and swim slowly. They spend most of their lives hiding in dense coral reefs, wrapping their tails around a coral branch, floating and sinking with the ocean currents, waiting for food to float over. After a dangerous childhood, seahorses will spend a long time looking for a partner, so they only have one partner in their lifetime.
"Occasionally, I encounter seahorses that drag their long tails and swim slowly. I always feel that their expressions are sad, and their reactions are slow and dull. As a result, I once encountered a pair of seahorses swimming side by side in the coral, and I realized that they can still be so lively. That was when the male seahorse successfully courted a mate and swam with the female seahorse to cultivate feelings."
Lu Yao often dives, and even if he doesn't observe deliberately, he will always encounter various aquatic creatures.
Seeing more will make you curious, and you will further observe, check information and understand, and sometimes you can't help but share it with guests like this.
The underwater world is never stable and peaceful, and the interesting thing is that each marine creature has a unique survival skill.
The life of a seahorse is so small and ordinary that it is not worth mentioning in the magnificent and vast ocean world.
But their way of survival adds an unignorable charm to the deep sea world.
Xie Minghua and Zhao Rou looked at each other and fell into a mysterious silence.
"The eel rice that our store supplies for a limited time is plump, juicy and delicious. Please enjoy it slowly." Lu Yao casually said a few more words, but he didn't expect to silence the customer's chat. He interrupted and quickly fled.
Xie Minghua pushed the eel rice in front of Zhao Rou, "This eel is really good, fresh and plump, with thick sauce, and roasted at the right temperature. Come and try it."
Zhao Rou used to like to eat eel rice, but she has hardly eaten it in recent years.
There is no other reason, a good eel rice is too expensive.
Sometimes I want to eat it, but I think it's not worth spending hundreds of dollars for a meal.
If I hadn't met him in this restaurant today, Xie Minghua would have almost forgotten about it.
His main job is a chef, but he rarely cooks at home.
Zhao Rou used chopsticks to divide the eel and rice into two portions, "This eel is really fat, you should try it too."
She took a bite of the fat eel meat, which was soft, glutinous and salty. It melted in her mouth with a light sip of the tip of her tongue. The sauce wrapped around the fish meat without any fishy smell rolled on the tip of her tongue, quickly covering all her past memories of eel rice.
This is the most delicious grilled eel she has ever eaten.
Zhao Rou did not stop for a moment, using a wooden spoon to scoop a spoonful of rice soaked in sauce, then covered the rice with a large piece of grilled eel, and added some side dishes to enhance the flavor.
She stuffed a big mouthful into her mouth, and it was so delicious that her soul almost left her body.
Xie Minghua stared at Zhao Rou in a daze, and it felt like he hadn't seen such a vivid expression on her face for a long time.
He wanted to please her, but it turned out that a bowl of eel rice was all he needed.
"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly, it's worthy of being in the deep sea, the sashimi is so fresh, and the sea urchin is so delicious." Zhao Rou was already immersed in the joy of food.
"Yeah." Xie Minghua nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the tuna sashimi, and relaxed his brows, "It's really delicious."
"The owner is really clever. How did he think of opening a cat cafe in the deep sea? After we finish eating, let's go pet the cats." Zhao Rou seemed to have been completely immersed in the atmosphere of the furry shop.
Xie Minghua ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks. He looked at the world outside the membrane and recalled the owner's words unconsciously in his mind.
The life of a seahorse is like his and Zhao Rou's life.
But they are not seahorses. They can obviously have other choices.
As long as they muster up a little courage, take the first step, and make a change.
Zhao Rou finished the eel rice, ate some sashimi, and finally ended with takoyaki.
She bit into the middle of the dough and found a fresh half octopus leg. Her eyes lit up, "There is real octopus in it, not batter and cabbage. It's so delicious."
Xie Minghua wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
After eating, the two squeezed into the middle of the lobby and played with the cat for a while.
The furry cat was so popular with customers that there was no way to be picky. They could only play guerrilla warfare and rubbed the cat everywhere.
They played with white socks, Erxin and boxer shorts.
Erxin was like a female star in the store. Everyone liked her. The new customer touched her twice, and then was squeezed away by the uncle next to him who claimed to pick sea urchins to support Erxin.
A customer next to him stood up and said he wanted to pick sea urchins.
Xie Minghua immediately pulled Zhao Rou over. He had agreed with the other guys to go pick sea urchins together.
Seahorses move too slowly. They were left behind by their teammates just a few minutes after leaving the store.
They got lost near an unfamiliar seabed and simply found a cluster of corals to rest.
Their tails wrapped around coral branches, and their bodies swayed left and right with the current.
Neither of them spoke, until suddenly, a pair of wild seahorses with their tails wrapped around each other swam past them.
Xie Minghua looked at Zhao Rou, who was also turning his head to look at him.
As seahorses, they couldn't make any expressions, but they both felt that the other should be laughing.
"Ding-ling-ling--"
The alarm rang, and Xie Minghua opened his eyes, sat up, and felt relaxed.
He scratched his head, as if he had a very special dream last night.
Zhao Rou also woke up, looked at Xie Minghua, frowned and grabbed her hair.
It seemed that she had a particularly unreal dream last night, but she couldn't remember what she dreamed about.
She got up and walked to the bathroom, "Let's have noodles in the morning, fry some potato and pork noodles that you like."
Xie Minghua also got up and went in with her, "I'll take Dabao to school later."
Zhao Rou looked back at him, "Are you in time?"
Xie Minghua smiled innocently, "Well, go out early and walk there, it won't take too long."
There was a traffic jam in the morning, and it was more convenient not to drive than to drive.
Zhao Rou was a little worried, but she also felt that if her husband could take Dabao to school, she could clean up the house and take care of Erbao after making breakfast, which would indeed be a little easier.
"Don't think about it, just do it this way." Xie Minghua hammered the key.
Yanguang City, Yunting Yujing Luxury Villa District.
Jing Yuxi, wearing a crimson backless evening dress, sat in front of a black piano, her fingertips dancing, forming a heart-stirring and highly personal piece of music. As
soon as the piano sounded, applause rang out.
Fang Ru walked over first, with undisguised admiration in her eyes, "Yuxi, your piano has been reborn, completely different from a year ago."
Jing Yuxi stood up holding the hem of her skirt, with a faint smile on her face, "Thank you, aunt."
Jing Yuxi was too busy in the past and rarely participated in such family gatherings.
This time, it was her little cousin's birthday, and she happened to be in Yanguang City. It would be inappropriate if she didn't come, so she came over.
Only after arriving did I realize that her bad condition had become a topic of conversation among her relatives.
Whoever saw her would pretend to tease her.
People always mentioned repeatedly that Jing Yuxi was not a tolerant person, but it was not her style to quarrel. There happened to be a piano in the middle of the banquet hall, so she played a song.
The problem that troubled her had been solved when she went to the furry shop that time.
However, during the time she stayed in the rocking city, she still often went to the shop to play with cats.
Not only for relaxation, when she sank to the bottom of the sea and looked up at the sky, her heart became calm, her thoughts gradually became clear, and she could always get infinite inspiration.
Ignoring the inquiring eyes around, Fang Ru pulled Jing Yuxi to the corner, "It seems that you have fully recovered."
Jing Yuxi is now in a broad mind and is very calm about this, "Well, I was just too picky."
Fang Ru's face quickly flashed with surprise, and only then did she really feel that Jing Yuxi had indeed been reborn.
"Which doctor did you find? It's been less than a month since you came back, and you're already healed."
Jing Yuxi blinked, hearing that Fang Ru was busy.
In this situation, she would just casually introduce her and give her contact information. But she was not receiving treatment in the hospital, so she had to ask the owner first if she could introduce new customers.
Thinking that she was also introduced by Bai Jing, Jing Yuxi did not refuse directly, and said: "Aunt, just say it."
Fang Ru leaned close to Jing Yuxi's ear and lowered her voice, "It's like this..."
After the furry shop launched eel rice and takoyaki, the progress of the task was accelerated a lot.
In half a day, more than ten customers left the sea of garbage.
Lu Yao looked at the task record in the backstage, and only three customers were left to complete the task.
She has already drawn the drawings for the store upgrade. There are not many opportunities to take advantage of the system. This time she wants to make a big move, just wait for the task to be completed, and then upgrade immediately.
But the time for diving is up, and she has to go out to pick up garbage. Lu Yao
walked out of the kitchen. There were a lot of customers today, and the lobby was almost full.
Usually there are many people who come to pet cats, but not as exaggerated as today, crowded together like sardines.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao found Qingmei and asked.
Qingmei was watching the excitement, turned around and pointed outside, saying: "Owner, there is a shark outside, everyone dare not go out, come to the store to take shelter."
Lu Yao took a look, and it was indeed a shark.
However, the big shark had a big cross scar on its forehead, it was an autistic fish.
"That's not a human, what's there to be afraid of?"
Qingmei explained: "Just now there was a jellyfish fighting with a big shark, and someone passing by was bitten."
Lu Yao: "...Pfft."
