You will never feel stuffy when you enter the small shop of Lu Jiu. The air quality is very good, and there are no various smells when there are many people.

It is a bit cold outside, but it is very warm inside the shop. It is not the warmth of air conditioning, but the natural warmth of spring. There is a light fragrance of flowers and grass in the air. They feel like they are in the wild, and it doesn’t feel like they are eating in such a small shop.

The five tables in the shop have been eaten. It is rare to be the first five in line. They did not waste the opportunity. There were not enough people, so they called relatives and friends, so that all five tables were full in the evening. Logically, no one should come in.

The man wore a dark windbreaker and a mask. He had an upright posture and was very tall. He walked in with a cold feeling.

Lu Jiu raised his eyes and met the man's eyes, "Are you here?"

"Yeah." Si Xu walked to the bar and watched Lu Jiu busy.

The diners looked at them curiously. From the tone of Boss Lu, it seemed that they had been waiting for him.

Who was this man who could make Boss Lu, who was cold and heartless and only followed the rules and didn't care about money, wait?

"Go sit for a while, it will be ready soon." Lu Jiu didn't see Jiang Ge, and crossed out two dishes from the menu in his mind, preparing more for Si Shen to eat.

The diners stretched their necks to watch the man leave, and watched him go into the innermost private room.

A customer asked on the spot, "Can we make reservations in the restaurant?"

Without even looking up, Lu Jiu replied, "No."

Customer: "What's wrong with him?"

Lu Jiu answered briefly, "He has a higher grade and privileges."

The customer snorted and said in a sinister tone, "I thought the boss was fair and selfless, but it turns out he also has privileges."

Lu Jiu said coldly, "If you can reach this grade, you will also have privileges."

Someone asked, "How is the grade assessed?"

Lu Jiu: "It depends on the dining rules."

Lu Jiu didn't want to answer the same question over and over again, so he added a sentence under the dining rules:

Different customers have different grades and receive different treatment (the specific treatment depends on the boss's mood).

Note: Grade = consumption amount + preference value.

The customer was choked and didn't say anything.

The Magic Fish Restaurant is extremely expensive. Eating there once a month is the limit. Not to mention the liking value, the amount of money spent alone is not enough.

Even the well-off diners think that this level is hard to compete for. It is lucky to have a meal after waiting for ten days. It is too difficult to break through the siege.

Of course, Lu Jiu knew that they couldn't do it. With the flow of dine-in and the iron private room, no one could compete with Si Shen.

Lu Jiu went to the private room with a wooden tray. Si Xu was already sitting at the table.

"This time, in addition to the flower dragon, I also brought back some other ingredients. Try them."

Lu Jiu first took a porcelain bowl from the tray and opened the lid, revealing the golden thick soup and snow-white shrimp meat. The fragrance wafted out, with a fresh and fruity aroma, and sweetness in the fruity aroma.

"Golden syrup shrimp balls, try it."

Si Xu picked up a small spoon made of shells and scooped a spoonful. The golden soup was thick like honey. When he put it in his mouth, it tasted rich, not very sweet, and had a strong fruity aroma with the unique freshness of shrimp. It was very delicious.

Scooping up a snow-white shrimp ball, the shrimp ball is tender, smooth and fragrant. The center of the ball is not hot, but a little cool. With a light bite, the salty aroma of caviar bursts out. Si Xu was very surprised. He didn't expect that there was a surprise hidden in the shrimp ball.

"Very delicious." Facing the food made by Lu Jiu, Si Xu always feels at a loss for words.

Lu Jiu brought down another portion, "Steamed egg custard."

The egg custard looks simple, but it is not simple.

The eggs are magic bird eggs from the magic sea plane. Lu Jiu picked them up on the island. There are not many of them, but the nutritional value is very high.

In the egg custard, there is only the devil bird egg and shrimp roe. After steaming, it is decorated with caviar. There is a touch of pomegranate red in the golden yellow. On the pomegranate red, there are a few petals of honey flower. The petals are small and white, and the taste is sweet and sour. With the salty aroma of caviar and the tenderness of egg custard, it is absolutely delicious.

The petals of honey flower are a bit like daisies on Earth, but the petals are thicker and rounder than daisies. They can be eaten directly. There are also many colors. It is a flower and also an ingredient.

Si Xu took a bite. It looks good and delicious.

Jiu Jiu brought down a medium-sized bowl. Half of the bowl was purple and the other half was pomegranate red. The purple ones were sea ball seeds, which looked like sea urchins on Earth. They also looked like sea urchins. They were covered with thorns and not easy to catch. The pomegranate red ones were stone skull fish roe, which was very filling.

Below the sea ball roe and caviar is the crystal clear chalcedony rice. The temperature of the rice is close to the temperature of the mouth, which can ensure that the taste of the seafood on the upper layer is not destroyed. The rice grains are distinct, soft and chewy. The mixture of multiple ingredients will not affect each other. Every bite can taste the freshness and uniqueness of different ingredients.

"Sea ball rice."

Lu Jiu only prepared three new products. Si Shen could not finish the extra ones and refused to waste them.

After Si Xu came in, he looked at today's dishes. They were all the flower dragons they had eaten last night, not the three in front of him.

These were obviously specially prepared by Lu Jiu for him.

Si Xu felt warm in his heart and smiled, "Can I drink some of yesterday's anthocyanin fruit wine?"

Lu Jiu hesitated. The system said that ordinary people would strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives if they ate magic meals and magic wines, but excessive intake could be fatal.

But Si Shen wanted to drink, and Lu Jiu was entangled with villains fighting.

Hei Xiaojiu: Let him drink if he wants to. The male god’s request must be met.

Bai Xiaojiu: No, no, the male god is an ordinary person, safety is important.

Hei Xiaojiu: The male god drank three cups yesterday and was fine.

Bai Xiaojiu: He felt uncomfortable.

Hei Xiaojiu: Just a little uncomfortable, after the discomfort, his body will get better and he can hold a concert.

Bai Xiaojiu: ...

Bai Xiaojiu was convinced by Hei Xiaojiu.

Lu Jiu said: "You can only drink three cups at most."

Si Xu: "Okay."

Lu Jiu got up to get the wine, this time he didn't carry the wine barrel, just filled some in the wine pot.

The diners in the restaurant stretched their necks to look, and when they saw Boss Lue carrying a wine pot and wine glasses into the private room, they immediately said, "Boss Lue, I want a pot of wine too!"

Lu Jiu glanced at the man and said, "No alcohol is served today."

"Then the wine in your hand..."

"Please refer to the dining rules." Lu Jiu raised his chin and entered the private room.

Diner: "..."

It's about rank again. It seems that people with high ranks are treated differently.

The diners who had given up competing for rank were tempted again.

Lu Jiu handed the wine pot and wine glass to Si Xu. Before leaving, he was worried and reminded him, "You can only drink three cups, no more."

Si Xu said, "If you are worried, you can stay and watch me."

Lu Jiu thought about it, and really turned back and sat down at the table. He used practical actions to tell Si Shen that he was serious and could only drink three cups.

Seeing him like this, Si Xu also became serious, "What will happen if you drink more?"

You will die.

Of course, Lu Jiu couldn't say it directly. Isn't this harming people? Taking out the wine that can kill people and giving it to people to drink, is he trying to kill people?

But the essence of magic wine is a good thing, but the body of an ordinary person cannot withstand so much energy. Drinking less nourishes the body, but drinking more will damage the body. If the amount can be controlled, magic wine is a good wine.

Under the mask, Lu Jiu frowned, "I'm watching you, you can't drink too much."

Si Xu's question was ignored.

Si Xu poured himself a glass of fruit wine, picked up the light green wine, and drank it all.

The familiar burning sensation spread in the body, and Si Xu was sweating a little. He didn't stop and drank two more glasses.

The feeling of dizziness, bloating, and burning appeared again. Compared with the discomfort yesterday, he could bear it better today. Si Xu wanted to try it. If it was really the energy he guessed, what would happen if it was not released?

Lu Jiu had been staring at him. When he saw him drink three cups in a row, he stood up to collect his wine pot and wine glasses. Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed. Lu Jiu was startled and the wine glass fell on the wooden table with a "bang". It rolled to the edge of the table and was caught by Si Xu. Si Xu looked up at him , "Why do

n't you ask me about the table?"

Lu Jiu froze and was completely dumbfounded. He was so scared that he wanted to abandon him and run away alone. Si Xu's palm was hot like a branding iron. Lu Jiu was a little worried, "Are you okay?" Si Xu stared at him for a few seconds, let go of his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm fine." Lu Jiu knew that he might be uncomfortable again. He felt helpless. He knew that he would feel uncomfortable after drinking, but he still insisted on drinking. "Why don't you ask me about the table?" If a normal person saw such a scene, he would definitely think he was seeing a ghost, but Lu Jiu was very calm and didn't ask the reason, as if he had never seen it. Lu Jiu said: "If it's uncomfortable, you can move the table to the wall, and move gently, don't knock things over." Si Xu: "..." Si Xu didn't know whether to continue the topic for a moment. He was a few years older than Lu Jiu, and Lu Jiu was calmer and steady than him when facing this matter. Si Xu is used to being in control and doesn't like the feeling of being trapped in the fog, "You're not surprised at all?" Lu Jiu felt that the male god's pedestal was a little shaky tonight. He became real and was no longer the unattainable perfect male god. Lu Jiu thought about how to answer, "No, I was surprised. I was also quite shocked at the time." He was shocked and investigating the truth were two different things. Besides, what truth could he investigate? To be honest, he had more secrets than anyone else. He didn't have a meticulous mind. If someone investigated him and caught him, it was estimated that they would catch a lot. He himself knew that he had many loopholes. It was difficult to explain the sudden disappearance of a year. He could only protect himself in the dumbest way possible, living a simple life, talking less and doing less, extinguishing his curiosity, and living his own life well. "Drinking on an empty stomach makes you drunk easily, and it's not good for your stomach either. Eating something will make you feel better." Si Xu did not move. The symptoms of dizziness and headache did not subside, but worsened. There was a force running in his body, as if trying to find a breakthrough. After traveling throughout the body, it gathered all the energy in his brain. Si Xu's thinking was clearer and more sensitive than ever before. His brain was like a "container" that had reached its peak threshold, and it would not allow any more expansion. Otherwise, even a little expansion would make things uncontrollable. Si Xu had a splitting headache. He had gotten used to this kind of pain. Since he got sick, headaches and dizziness had become commonplace. He had heard from his grandfather that his grandmother's family had a hereditary disease. If she didn't get sick, she would live to old age safely. If she got sick, she would not live past 30. At that time, his grandmother was also like Si Xu. She couldn't eat. She would vomit anything she ate. She could only rely on intravenous drips to maintain her life. In the last two years, his grandmother's memory was terrifying. The current "Mohong Group" was created by his grandmother. At that time, his grandfather was only qualified to help. Si Xu's disease also became a concern for his grandfather. He seemed to see the appearance of his grandmother when she died. His grandmother died on her 30th birthday. She was so thin that only bones were left. Si Xu didn't believe in fate. He wanted to fight for himself. If he didn't succeed, he wouldn't live for two years. He was like a crazy gambler. He was betting on his life. If he won, he would live, and if he lost, he would die. He wanted to try what would happen after breaking through the threshold of his brain, but the energy of three cups of anthocyanin fruit wine was not enough. It was just stuck at the edge of the threshold, making him uncomfortable and painful, but unable to break through that limit. Because of the pain, Si Xu's breathing was a little heavy, "I want to drink another glass." Lu Jiu widened his eyes and subconsciously grabbed the wine bottle and hid it behind him, "No, three glasses is the limit." "My alcohol tolerance is not that bad, I can drink a little more." Si Xu tried to speak in a calm tone so that Lu Jiu would not hear anything unusual. Since you are pretending, then pretend together, pretend to drink. "No." Lu Jiu flatly refused, grabbed the wine glass, and stood up to leave. "Lu Jiu." Si Xu stood up and rested his hands on the table. His fingertips turned white because of the force. "I need this kind of wine." Lu Jiu turned to face him. There was no hesitation or wavering in his eyes, only a definite refusal. He couldn't joke with Si Xu's life. "I said, the limit is three cups. If you can't comply, I won't provide you with drinks next time." Lu Jiu opened the door and went out, went straight to the second floor, put away the wine pot and wine glasses, and then came down without going to the private room. Si Xu didn't know how good Lu Jiu's five senses were. Lu Jiu saw and heard his strength, his forbearance, and his pain. Under this circumstance, Lu Jiu would never agree unless she wanted him to die. Lu Jiu stood in the kitchen, watching the diners leave one table after another. Si Xu never came out, and Lu Jiu didn't go over either . Before Lu Jiu closed the shop, Si Xu finally came out of the private room. He had returned to normal, and there was nothing wrong with him.

He wanted to pay, but didn't know the price.

"Medium portion of sea ball rice is 6998, golden syrup shrimp balls are 1998, steamed egg custard is 3998, and a glass of anthocyanin fruit wine is 10,000 yuan. You drank three glasses, so the total is 42,994 yuan. Thank you for your patronage." Rujiu spoke in a formal and cold manner, like a stranger... although they were indeed not very familiar with each other.

Si Xu paid by scanning the code on his phone.

When he reached the door, he turned around and glanced at Rujiu, "Sorry."

It was his inconsiderateness. If something happened to him here with Rujiu, it would be difficult for Rujiu to explain.

Rujiu didn't say a word, and watched him leave, then went to clean up the dishes and tidy up the tables and chairs.

He didn't want to think too much, but he couldn't help being distracted.

The idol he had been a fan of for so many years was rejected by him just like that...

That night, a blogger named "Shuisheng" wrote an article criticizing Lu Jiu's behavior of eating giant lobsters, and even specifically tagged Lu Jiu. Lu

Jiu has been very popular online recently. No matter good or bad, as long as Lu Jiu's name is mentioned, it will attract attention.

This blogger named "Shuisheng" listed the ways to deal with giant lobsters found all over the world.

When giant lobsters are found abroad, they are either sent to aquariums or released. Only Lu Jiu eats such a huge and rare lobster as a delicacy. Judging from the size of the claws, the weight of this lobster should be more than 15 kilograms, which can occupy a place in the world giant lobster list. It is difficult for a lobster to grow to such a huge size without a hundred years.

After years, it has escaped capture and survived to this day, but it could not escape Lu Jiu's murderous hands.

"Shuisheng" calls on the general public not to become accomplices in the cruel killing of rare aquatic creatures, and by the way, advises Lu Jiu that if such a rare giant lobster is caught, it should be sent to an aquarium instead of being eaten directly as a tool to make money.

As soon as this Weibo post was published, it immediately attracted widespread attention.

Whether "Shuisheng" was deliberately trying to take advantage of the popularity of the liujiu, posting to attract attention, or really caring about aquatic creatures, his purpose was achieved, and the comment section was already in chaos in the middle of the night.

"Do I need to say anything about Boss Ru's character? Isn't selfishness, cold-bloodedness, and low character his usual style?"

"Rujiu: Eating a giant lobster is nothing? Not saving someone in danger is my strong point:)."

"Here it comes, with a familiar face, it's here to criticize Boss Ru again."

"I'm so angry from eating melons, I just want to ask those haters, did Boss Ru kill your whole family or dig up your ancestors' graves so that you keep chasing and biting him? Don't be someone's brain-dead fans who can't stand seeing the other family doing well, so you criticize them to death every day?"

"The truth is upstairs:)." "

Hat fans: Finally we have a stage to twist, thank Master 'Shuisheng'!"

"Such a huge lobster is indeed rare, it's a pity to eat it."

"What kind of saint mother and saint father is that upstairs? If you caught a giant lobster yourself, you probably wouldn't eat it. You would sell it for a small amount of money, cover it with a holy light, and call it a donation to the aquarium."

"This kind of Weibo is obviously sucking the blood of the boss, and he also flaunts his own justice, labeling the people whose blood is sucked as villains. With such justice, how much money will you donate to protect aquatic life? You keep saying you don't want money, right? I suggest you don't look at this kind of people, just go away."

"..."

Because of Si Shen's affairs, Jiu Jiu had insomnia for once. On a whim, he logged into Weibo and wanted to clear his previous work records. He would need Weibo in the future. If he went to purchase goods again, he would just say so on Weibo, so that the old lady wouldn't come to the door and find that the store was closed.

Jiu Jiu found the existence of "Shuisheng" among a bunch of people who tagged him. He glanced at "Shuisheng"'s Weibo, replied to it without much interest, and then left it alone.

Rujiu deleted all the work Weibo posts he had posted since his debut, as if that was the only way he could really get away from this circle.

After clearing the posts, he went offline directly without staying for a second.

Rujiu didn't know that the comment section of his Weibo post had been bombarded.

Rujiu v: "There are too many giant lobsters at home, which one do you want me to give away? @Shuisheng"

The comment section was full of hahahahahahahaha.

"Has my baby activated the taunt skill? I'm so relieved, mommy doesn't have to worry about baby being bullied anymore!"

"Where is the obedient Jiuzai from before? Jiuzai now is so attractive, I like him!"

"You all should be kinder! Am I the only one who feels bad for Shuisheng? Look at what my baby said, giving Shuisheng face by calling him rare and uncommon all the time? I can't look at these two words directly from now on!" "

Hahahaha - are you surprised? Are you surprised? Do you really think that my baby can do whatever you want after leaving the Weibo battlefield? Doesn't it hurt? @Shuisheng"

"@Shuisheng, if you have something to say, just say more. Only you can force Boss Rui to come online!"

"Boss, don't go. I have something to say - Erkangshou.jpg"

"Boss Rui: Hold it in!"

"..."

The giant lobster incident had not yet passed, and Lu Jiu dragged a large insulated box to the store as usual. In addition to diners, there were also reporters interviewing at the door. When they saw Lu Jiu coming, they walked over quickly, followed closely by the cameraman.

"Hello, Mr. Rui, I'm a reporter from the Life Column of City A. Can I interview you? Where did you buy such a big lobster?"

Rui Jiu dragged the incubator forward, cold and ruthless, "No."

Reporter: "..."

The reporter's smile was a bit stiff, "Can you let us see the legendary giant lobster? There has never been such a big lobster in our country. The audience in front of the TV must want to see it very much."

Rui Jiu: "No."

Reporter: "..."

The cameraman: "..."

The reporter reminded awkwardly, "Mr. Rui, we are broadcasting live here, can you cooperate a little?"

Rui Jiu finally looked at the camera, "Live broadcast?"

The reporter nodded repeatedly, "Yes, live broadcast."

"I didn't agree to be on your live broadcast, nor do I have the obligation to cooperate with your interview. Next time something like this happens, please ask me if I am willing to be interviewed. Thank you." Jiu blocked the camera, opened the door and entered the restaurant, shutting the reporter and the cameraman out.

The diners who watched the whole process: "..."

The reporter and the cameraman were very embarrassed. The reporter could only face the camera, smiling awkwardly but politely, to justify himself.

"We came at an unfortunate time. It seems Mr. Rui is busy opening a shop... We will interview Mr. Rui again when we have the chance. Now let's go interview the residents of the old street and see what changes the prosperity of the Magic Fish Shop has brought to the old street..."

Seeing them leave, the diners breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was so embarrassed that I dug my feet into the earth. Boss Rui is really tough. He will confront you even if he wants to in front of the camera."

"Isn't he a celebrity? Isn't he afraid of ruining the impression of passers-by? It will also make him easy to be criticized, right?"

"I think Boss Rui is right. Whether it is an interview or a live broadcast, it is indeed without Boss Rui's consent. If he wants to go back to being a celebrity, he will not open a store, right?"

"Actually, I'm also a little curious about how big a whole lobster can be."

"Why don't you order a shrimp claw, then you should be able to imagine how big the lobster is."

"No, no, I'd better just imagine it..."
