Xiao Tu pulled out a wad of cash. "Here, take this."
Xiao Jin, Xiao Shui, and Xiao Huo all took out the money they had on them.
Xiao Mu counted, "There are 9,500 left, enough for a seafood feast."
Snacks are delicious but not filling; you must try seafood when you come to the seaside.
Xiao Mu asked, "Is it okay if we eat here?"
Lin Xi had no objection. "I also want to hear the story about seafood."
"Then it's a happy decision." Xiao Mu held up a large wad of money, the red banknotes fluttering in the wind.
"Everyone, listen to my command, follow me!"
The shop owner stood guard at the entrance. When he saw a row of little children walk in, he immediately went up to greet them, his voice automatically becoming gentle.
"Good evening, kids! Where are your moms and dads?"
Xiao Mu slapped the more than nine thousand yuan on the stool and ordered in a childish voice, "Bring up everything you have to eat at your shop. I'm booking the whole place tonight."
The child's sweet voice exuded the aura of a bandit.
The shop owner was stunned. "Little boy, how old are you?"
The five children look to be two and a half years old, with clear thinking and eloquent speech. Whose genius babies are they?
Xiao Mu casually made up a story, "Three and a half years old."
In fact, they have lived for at least three thousand years, which is older than everyone present here combined.
The four little elves said in unison, "Yes, we are three and a half years old."
The boss was utterly shocked. "Five babies?! What a wonderful mother and a hardworking father!"
Xiao Mu covered her mouth and coughed heavily, speaking in an adult-like tone, "Boss, bring the food. We'll talk about the money if you don't have enough."
The owner's gaze was firm. "This shop does not serve underage children. Please go home and find your parents."
Seeing so much cash in the hands of several children, he really wanted to call the police.
Xiao Mu sighed, "It's really not easy being a child. You have money but can't spend it, and you have food but can't eat it."
Next time, bring back five locust trees and have the owner make them into an adult's body.
Lin Xi walked in and just happened to hear this, "We are the parents, serve the food."
The boss was shocked again, his eyes widening like saucers. "The mother is young and beautiful, no wonder she gave birth to such a cute and smart baby."
Lin Xi explained, "I am not your mother."
The boss suddenly realized, "Oh, I get it, you're the older sister."
Lin Xi nodded.
"You guessed right." The boss smiled and pointed to the man beside him, saying confidently, "You're the father."
Fu Jingyao's face darkened instantly. "Am I that old?"
The boss changed his address, "Brother, brother!"
When a middle-aged man with gray hair and a hunched back called him "brother," Fu Jingyao's face darkened even more.
Lin Xi poked his chin and laughed without any restraint, "Haha, let's eat first, we can discuss the age issue later."
The boss went down the steps, "Yes, yes, brother, oops! Handsome boss, please."
As he walked, he explained, "My family's ingredients are brought up from the sea every morning, bought and killed on the spot, ensuring they go into the oil alive."
The restaurant's backyard is filled with tanks of all sizes, containing grouper, whelks, blood clams, small green lobsters, mantis shrimp, and more.
The owner explained, "All kinds of marine life that are edible and legal are here. Just order whatever you like, and I'll cook it myself."
Lin Xi doesn't know much about seafood, so she said, "I'll order it myself."
Xiao Shui was the first to speak up, "Leave it to me. Steamed grouper, stir-fried razor clams with green peppers, garlic lobster, raw marinated whelk, braised sea cucumber with scallions, steamed sea urchin with egg... and a pot of coconut chicken, thank you."
The boss was dumbfounded.
The three-and-a-half-year-old child is eloquent and a hundred times smarter than my son who got a zero on his math test.
Could there be an adult's soul hidden inside?
Although my body has shrunk, my mind is just as sharp.
This is... a monster!
The boss suddenly remembered a legend he had heard as a child, and panicked. He grabbed the menu and ran away, saying, "Please help yourselves, I'll go prepare the food."
Xiao Shui put her hands on her hips and said, "Coward."
Lin Xi tapped her forehead. "Don't forget you're a three-year-old now. Try to act more convincingly."
Xiao Shui obediently replied, "Master, I know."
The owner, who was returning to get the ingredients, overheard this and his anxiety finally subsided.
They really are monsters!!
The boss comforted himself, "May the sea god protect me, I'm not afraid, all who come are guests, I just need to see them off."
He quickly started cooking, afraid of neglecting his distinguished guest.
Lin Xi and the little elves found a table and sat down.
Six o'clock in the afternoon, dinner time.
The store gradually became more crowded, and the staff were extremely busy, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Tu rubbed her stomach. "Boss is so slow. I'm so hungry, ugh."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the owner, carrying a plate in each hand, sprinted to the table at top speed, without spilling a drop of soup.
Lin Xi teased, "You've practiced before?"
"After serving dishes for a long time, you naturally won't spill a drop of water." The owner put down four or five plates of exquisite dishes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Enjoy your meal at your leisure; if you don't like it, you don't have to pay."
Lin Xi picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the grouper.
The meat is tender, delicate, and elastic, blending perfectly with the sauce, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The boss is timid, but a good cook.
The little elves were very happy, "The seafood here is better than in the capital."
Lin Xi swallowed what was in her mouth. "Eat your fill, there won't be any left when you go back."
Fu Jingyao put down his chopsticks and slightly curled the corners of his lips, "If you like it, I'll have it airlifted to the capital."
The little elves were extremely excited, "Thank you, Bao!"
The owner, with his dog furtive, brought out the last dish: "Blanched bok choy hearts, a reminder of our original aspirations."
"All the dishes have been served. Enjoy your meal, everyone."
Just as the boss was about to leave, Lin Xi called out to him, "Wait, what's the story at the door?"
The boss stammered, "The story, well..."
In summary, it's about a goddess fighting monsters.
If he were to tell, would he get beaten to a pulp by these monsters?
The person at the next table enthusiastically offered help, saying, "I know, the boss has said it a hundred and eighty times, it's the beginning of the story..."
The boss interrupted, "I'm the expert, let me explain."
"The beginning of a story is always unexpected, but the ending is always tragic."
“A long, long time ago, Wuhai City was a small fishing village where people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.”
"There was a girl in the village named Yu Ruo. One day, while collecting seashells on the beach, she accidentally discovered a strange fish."
"Handsome face, strong body, and stunningly beautiful, but his lower body was high up and covered with fish scales."
At the crucial moment, the boss took a deep breath and asked, "Guess what kind of fish this is?"
An enthusiastic customer blurted out: "The Little Mermaid."
The boss smiled mysteriously, "Mermaid is a Western term; in ancient my country, it was called 'jiaoren'."
He made an exaggerated expression and blew out a soft breath, "Yu Ruo has found a male merman..."
