The auntie brought a red basket filled with seafood and brought it to him specifically for him to take a closer look.
Fresh oysters, wriggling octopuses, various shellfish, and shrimps flapping their tails.
There were also eight sea urchins with their fangs and claws bared, and the girls' facial features were almost squeezed together when they saw them.
So disgusting, so horrible!
"A large plate of oyster sashimi, grilled octopus, seafood soup, and sea urchin sashimi."
"Okay, I'll do it for you right away."
After the ingredients were brought back to the cashier counter, clanging sounds were heard from the operation room.
After taking a sip of water, Xiu Li still felt uncomfortable because of the octopus.
Those wriggling tentacles made her shiver just thinking about them.
Li Shuxian, on the other hand, seemed to be looking forward to the delicious food made from these ingredients.
“Does Shuxian like seafood too?”
"ah?"
Li Shuxian, holding a cup of water and looking at the operating table, was stunned for a moment and quickly responded, "Yes, because I grew up by the sea, and my family has been eating these since I was a child."
"So that's how it is... What's your favorite?"
"Oyster sashimi."
Li Shuxian blurted out without thinking that this was indeed her favorite type of seafood.
The fresh oysters caught in the clean sea area are directly pried open with a knife, and the scallops are cut off and sucked into the mouth along with a small amount of sea water.
At that moment, you will understand what the 'taste of the sea' is.
"But they look soft and sticky, and the edges are wriggling. Isn't that scary?"
Zhao Enjing doesn’t reject raw food. She also likes mixed beef and crab with sauce.
In South Korea, no one can resist these two delicacies.
But oysters are soft, still growing in their shells, and so fresh that the edges are curled.
It was really hard for her to accept...
“But it’s really delicious!”
Amid the discussion among several people, oyster sashimi was the first to be served.
The delicious oysters filled the entire round plate, with two crescent-shaped lemon slices inserted next to them.
"Give it a try."
Li Zhenyu picked up one and handed it to Zhao Enjing opposite him.
Zhao Enjing wanted to resist, but after hesitating for two seconds, she finally took it.
"Lemon can bring out the umami flavor very well. If you want it to be milder, just squeeze a few drops. If you want more, three or four drops are enough."
Li Zhenyu picked up a slice of lemon and sprinkled three drops on the oysters.
The scallops at the bottom have been cut off. Bring the oyster to your mouth and raise your wrist to suck.
"Um."
After chewing it with big mouthfuls, Li Zhenyu put down the shell with great satisfaction and picked up another one.
Xiumei and Xiuli, who were sitting next to him, also followed his example and sucked the oysters into their mouths.
Taste - How should I put it? It's quite resistant when you first put it in your mouth, but soon the multi-layered taste of umami, saltiness and lemon juice, along with the taste of the oysters themselves, bursts in your mouth.
The tense expressions of the two people gradually relaxed, and there was a hint of unexpected surprise between their brows.
"This is good stuff. It would be a shame if you don't eat it."
Zhao Yingjun's hands never stopped from the moment he came up.
He finished five in a row, used up a slice of lemon, and then he smacked his lips in satisfaction and picked up the wine glass, "Brother, one goes first."
"Let's go one?"
Li Zhenyu picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go one by one."
The standard Yan accent made Zhao Yingjun shake his head and smile bitterly. He was obviously a guy who had never even been to Yan Country, but his Mandarin was as standard as the people there.
My stiff accent completely eliminated my chance to show off, oh shit…
He took all the good things for himself, even the chance to show off in front of girls was snatched away by him.
Sure enough, after the girls learned that he spoke Yan Mandarin, they all pestered him to learn a common phrase or two.
"Then I'll teach you a few commonly used phrases, like Aigu... the same phrase in Yan Country, oh my god!"
"And Shit, I want to say WTF."
"Great, or should I say awesome."
Li Zhenyu transformed himself into a language expert and frantically taught several people daily expressions.
Xiumei and Xiuli whispered "Niubei, Niubei~"
Zhao Enjing was quite interested in "Oh my God".
Among the few people, Li Shuxian had the greatest talent for languages and quickly learned the correct pronunciation of "wocao".
"Fuck~Fuck~Oppa, am I right?"
"Well, you're the best among them."
Li Zhenyu affirmed her pronunciation, and Li Shuxian became very happy because of his praise.
I repeated the words "Shit," in my mind over and over again, to make sure I wouldn't forget them.
"Hey, I'm drunk."
Zhao Yingjun spoke in a harsh tone, just wanting this scene to pass quickly.
Although none of the women present had a share with him, Zhao Yingjun felt so uncomfortable when he saw their admiring eyes looking at Li Zhenyu!
It was like someone had stabbed him in the heart twice. Damn it, damn it!
"Brother, I want to drink too."
Hearing her sister say this, Xiu Li on the side quickly nodded, indicating that she also wanted to drink.
It would be out of place in this kind of situation if I didn't drink.
"Don't drink too much."
After Li Zhenyu finished speaking, he raised his arm and shouted, "Aunt, another bottle of sorghum wine here."
Seafood must be paired with sorghum wine, as rice wine tastes a bit inferior.
Soju...
Although he is now a genuine South Korean, it is better for him to forget the word "Soju".
“Shuxian, you should have a drink too!”
"Eunjeong, do you want to drink?"
The two sisters were each concerned about their new friends, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed inappropriate not to drink.
Besides, on such a happy occasion, they also want to let loose for once.
So, all the drinks on the table were soon replaced with clear sorghum wine.
The originally restrained atmosphere soon reached a climax under the influence of alcohol.
"Oppa, you are Li Zhenyu, that Li Zhenyu, right? That's right!"
Zhao Enjing pointed at him with her drunken finger holding the wine glass and said excitedly: "You know, actually... I really admire you.
How can there be a man like you in the world...a perfect man, handsome, young, and good at making money. You can write scripts, direct, and even write hit songs like Gee Gee Gee, Oh!..."
"Beef beer!"
Zhao Enjing gave a thumbs up and shouted "Nice beer."
At this moment, Li Zhenyu was really glad that this was South Korea and not Yan Country.
Otherwise, now is the time to broadcast the scene of his social demise.
Holding the wine glass in both hands and sipping the wine in the glass, Li Shuxian, with eyes like crescent moons, just stared at him and kept smiling.
Although she didn't say a word, everyone could tell from her expression that she liked it and was happy.
"Brother, why do I suddenly feel that I shouldn't stay here?"
Zhao Yingjun, who was almost drunk, supported his head with his hands and tried to run away.
He felt like a huge light bulb at this moment, emitting dazzling light all over his body, almost illuminating the entire night sky outside.
