Harold suddenly stopped, squinted his eyes and examined the furry shop, comparing the new shop with the nail salon in his mind, and then found that this shop was much more exaggerated than the blind box shop next door, and the nail salon couldn't compare, so he pouted secretly.
No wonder Lu Yao was so busy every day and went home very late.
He casually threw a few open-mouthed anglerfish into the store, and reached out to catch the ones in the killer whale's mouth.
Killer whale A shook his head, avoided Harold, and threw the fish into the store lightly, just pressing on Harold's fish.
Harold tilted his head to look over: "Did you do that on purpose?"
Orca A said innocently: "Huh?" Lu Yao
urged Harold, "Okay, okay, don't block the door, go in quickly."
Ji Feiming, Qingmei, Wen Jingyi and others stood at the door, and the two girls looked at Harold curiously.
Ji Feiming looked numb, this dragon is here again.
It's great to travel through time and space.
Lu Yao came in from behind, and Qingmei immediately pulled her aside, her eyes shining, and asked in a low voice: "Owner, where did this beautiful boy come from? A foreigner? He looks so good, his eyes are actually blue, and he wears colored contact lenses?"
Wen Jingyi was also looking at Harold, and added: "It's rare for foreigners to be so neat and beautiful, the high ponytail is very individual, but not feminine at all."
If the movie queen says he looks good, then he really looks good.
Harold felt a cold light suddenly coming from the side. Seeing that it was a man, he immediately glared back more fiercely. Lu Yao
quickly pulled Harold over and introduced him, "This is Harold, my brother. The store is short of people, so he came to help."
The killer whale outside the membrane seemed to make a light hum, which was different from the usual "whimper".
Lu Yao turned his head to look, and saw only a round back.
Killer whale A had already swam away.
Qingmei looked at Harold with even more surprise, "New colleague, isn't he a little too young?"
Harold raised his hand and tapped Lu Yao's head, dissatisfiedly: "I'm almost a hundred years old, you should be my older brother."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The air was silent, Lu Yaosi was not panicked, he patted Harold on the back, looked at several people and said: "This kid is a comic fan. In his world, he is a beautiful and powerful black dragon. It's summer vacation now, so he comes to the store to help and meet more people, maybe he will grow up slowly."
Harold vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he was indeed a beautiful and powerful dragon. He liked comics and came here to help. He hasn't grown up yet and he is still a few decades away from adulthood.
These sentences are all correct, he pursed his lips and did not refute.
So it's a second-year syndrome.
Several people understood, Qingmei and Wen Jingyi looked at Harold with a completely elder sister's demeanor, even Shi Bin looked at Harold with tolerance.
Ji Feiming: "..."
She was serious, no joke!
After talking about Harold, Wen Jingyi's gaze turned to Lu Yao again: "Do you want to take a shower and change clothes?"
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes, I'll go right away. Harold, send the anglerfish to the kitchen and process it according to the method I just taught you. I will stew a delicious fish later."
The anglerfish is a deep-sea fish. When Lu Yao caught it, it was still alive. When he brought it back, it was all dead. It must be processed immediately while it is fresh.
These fish live in a sewage area with a very bad environment, and are normally not suitable for consumption.
However, magic can be used to directly filter out impurities attached to the fish meat, and the meat will be clean after processing, and the taste is still fresh and tender. It
is more convenient for Harold to be here, because he can do all the magic that Lu Yao can do, and he can also do the magic that Lu Yao can't do.
It only takes a few minutes to process a few fish.
The little black dragon had never seen this kind of fish before. If Lu Yao hadn't insisted on bringing it back, this grinning look would have persuaded him to back off.
Lu Yao came out of the shower and changed into clean clothes.
There were a bunch of people gathered in the kitchen, and Lu Yao squeezed in with difficulty, "Why are you all here?"
Wen Jingyi, Shi Bin, and Qingmei all surrounded Harold.
They had eaten anglerfish before.
But they had never seen one that hadn't even been skinned. They were curious about how Harold would process it.
Due to these people, Harold's work progressed slowly. There were only two processed anglers in the clear water pool next to him, and their skins hadn't been peeled off yet.
Wen Jingyi was fiddling with the small lumps on the belly of an anglerfish, "Are these its feet? Why does the one next to it have only two?"
Qingmei: "Some have only one, and some have several. It's a bit strange. It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I could check the reason." Lu Yao
was silent for a moment, then looked up at Shi Bin.
Shi Bin felt puzzled, because he didn't play with that fish.
It was a delicious fish, but I couldn't praise its appearance.
He was not interested at all, just standing there waiting for Wen Jingyi.
Anglerfish are indeed ugly, gray, with a wide mouth, a big belly, and a mouthful of particularly uneven teeth.
They don't like to move, and most of the time they lurk under the seabed, relying on the small glowing meat bait on their heads to lure prey.
However, the way anglerfish survive is also very interesting.
Lu Yao retracted his gaze and said calmly: "These are not feet, they are its husbands."
Wen Jingyi didn't understand, but had already let go of her hand, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yao put on gloves, picked up an anglerfish that had been treated with magic, and prepared to peel it, while explaining: "Male anglerfish are very weak, and the size difference between them and female anglerfish can be up to sixty times. In order to survive successfully, they choose to depend on females and survive by sucking female body fluids. Their body organs have completely degenerated, and later some of them are left with only such a small meaty protrusion, retaining only the reproductive glands."
"..."
"..."
Lu Yao continued: "The anglerfish caught from the sea are almost all females. Later, someone conducted special research and found that the small fleshy protrusions attached to the female fish are the degenerated male fish. Some anglerfish have more than one small fleshy protrusion on their bodies, and those are the degenerated male fish."
In other words, a female anglerfish sometimes brings with it several male fish, all of whom are gigolos.
"……"
"……"
For some reason, the topic suddenly became awkward.
"……The owner knows a lot about fish." Qingmei said sincerely.
Lu Yao: "After all, he opened a store in the sea, and I couldn't help but want to know more. The deep sea almost embraces all forms of life, whether strong or humble. The creatures here have only one goal-to survive."
After listening to the story of the anglerfish, Wen Jingyi and Shi Bin quietly left the kitchen.
Qingmei followed him out for a few minutes, and when she came back, she looked relaxed and seemed a little happy. Lu Yao
asked casually, and Qingmei did not hide it, "I told Sister Jingyi my address and my family's contact information, and asked her to help check it out."
"Are they leaving?"
"I don't know, but it feels like they'll be leaving soon."
After talking to Qingmei, the movie queen and the prince walked hand in hand towards the octopus room.
There is an octopus slide and a small room there, and the two may be preparing to have a deep chat.
Qingmei has been working in the store for so long that she can basically see the signs of customers leaving.
Only she, no matter what she does, has no signs.
Those who came earlier than her and those who came later than her have all left.
Only she, as if trapped in this sea forever.
She still has a lot of things to do.
She wants to go back.
This time when she saw Wen Jingyi, she impulsively mustered up the courage to ask her for help.
In fact, there is an element of gambling, but at least Wen is a public figure and is more trustworthy than any random stranger.
Fortunately, Wen did not refuse, carefully wrote down the information, and promised to help check it out when she returned.
Lu Yao is not sure what state the fish that leave here will be in after they return. If the movie queen does not help Qingmei, she will help Qingmei go back after she gets the permission to enter and exit the garbage sea.
The store is short of people, and Qingmei is doing a good job in the store.
But if she wants to go back, Lu Yao will definitely help.
The monkfish is stewed well, the meat is tender and delicious, and a little chewy.
Because it is fresh, it is more delicious than the usual monkfish.
Guests who pass through the underwater tunnel to various areas occasionally pass by the kitchen, smell the fragrance, and drool.
A limited-time menu is added to the menu of the furry shop - stewed monkfish.
The few fish brought back in the morning were not enough to eat, so Harold secretly ate three of them, and Lu Yao, Qing Mei and Xiao Ji shared one.
Some guests heard about it and came a few steps late, and only smelled the smell.
Lu Yao promised to catch some more monkfish to cook in a few days, and the guests left.
In the kitchen, Harold helped wash the dishes.
Lu Yao couldn't help but praise: "You cleaned the fish very well, and it didn't taste strange at all. You were also very efficient in serving customers, and helped me a lot."
The little black dragon resisted the urge to shake his tail and tried to show that he didn't care: "What's the big deal about this little thing?"
After a pause, he said, "In fact, the fish is very clean, without any impurities."
At that time, those humans insisted on squeezing into the kitchen, and he cast a small magic move.
But although the fish grew in the sewage, unexpectedly no impurities were filtered out.
Lu Yao had an idea in his mind, but before he had time to think about it, Qingmei came in from outside and handed her something.
"Where did it come from?"
"The movie queen's ring left in room eight of the Octopus Slide. She was wearing this ruby ring on her left hand when she first entered the store." When
humans turn into fish and leave, they will take the things they carry with them with them.
This ring was obviously left by the movie queen to pay for the consumption at the Furry Shop.
Lu Yao put it away, wrote a note, and put it together with the various gold and silver jewelry he had received before.
...
The upgraded Furry Shop is even more popular with autistic fish, and the business is almost full. On average, dozens of fish leave the garbage sea every day.
Harold can already accurately locate this world and comes to the store on time every afternoon to help.
He is good-looking, and although he has a hot temper, the customers in the store like him very much and treat him as a youngster at home.
Moreover, when Harold was in the store, the pigs and fat birds were very well-behaved. They absolutely dared not pee or poop, did not fight fiercely for food, and were even more clingy than usual.
Perhaps this was blood suppression... Of
all the furry employees in the store, only Erxin could barely withstand the pressure of the little black dragon and continued to roll around and beg for food.
Harold liked Erxin even more.
Lu Yao caught Harold secretly feeding Erxin snacks several times in the kitchen.
Lu Yao felt that the tunnel from the main store to the whale room was too long and dim, so he used magic gems to refine a batch of fist-sized eternal lamps, covered them with jellyfish-shaped lampshades, and placed one every four or five meters in the tunnel, fixed on the transparent wall membrane with a magic array.
The warm yellow light spread out, as soft and moderate as gauze, which would not disturb the fish, but the whole tunnel became warm and bright.
After Lu Yao installed the eternal lamp, he took a short rest in the whale room and asked the system: "Where is the progress of the mission?"
System: [Four hundred and ninety-eight drowned people have left the garbage sea.]
If two more people leave, the mission will be completed.
Lu Yao was excited and stood up to go back to the store. Suddenly, he saw a starfish lying outside the transparent wall membrane. There were dark brown protrusions on its milky white body, which looked particularly familiar.
