Chapter 45: Fish in the bathroom, so funny



It turned out that a while ago a food blogger came to the Starlight Restaurant to check in.

These days, there are many food bloggers who come to the Xingguang Restaurant to check in. Zhou Xingyu usually treats them to a big meal and then gives them some red envelopes.

Zhou Xingyu is actually not welcoming to these food bloggers. His hotel is a mid- to high-end restaurant, targeting those who have money and are willing to eat.

Moreover, most of the customers are from their own county. Ordinary people know clearly which restaurant is delicious and which is not, so there is no need for food bloggers to advertise additionally.

But this food blogger is not an ordinary food blogger. Firstly, he has millions of followers and a huge influence;

Secondly, this food blogger is really good at it. He has a very picky tongue and can tell whether the food is fresh, whether it is cooked enough, and whether there are too many or too few seasonings...

Thirdly, and most importantly, the identity of this food blogger is not ordinary. It is said that he is the son of a wealthy family in the imperial capital.

Before this food blogger came, someone from above contacted him and asked him to treat him well and not let him down.

Zhou Xingyu could only serve carefully, not seeking any merit, but only hoping to avoid mistakes.

Fortunately, after trying the red mushroom soup and chicken mushroom soup, the food blogger praised the restaurant's dishes and chef's skills.

However, after eating mushrooms for two consecutive days, this food blogger suddenly said he wanted to eat fish.

Ordinary fish probably wouldn’t catch his eye, so Zhou Xingyu wanted to get a big wild one.

But after contacting a circle of suppliers, he didn't find anything special, so he thought of Shen Yunzhao.

Shen Yunzhao was quite speechless after hearing this, "This food blogger is so picky!"

"That's right!" Zhou Xingyu sighed, "But I have to admit, some people have really good tongues. They can tell whether something is good or not just by tasting it!"

After returning home, Shen Yunzhao first took Zhou Xingyu to see the crucian carp kept in the bathroom.

Zhou Xingyu was amused. "You keep the crucian carp here?"

It’s funny to think about keeping fish in the bathroom.

Shen Yun was a little embarrassed, “There’s nothing I can do, my house is too small.”

The suite is just like this, small in size and there is no place to put many things.

"Haha, Yun Zhao, the first thing you should do when you make money is to buy a house! I believe you will be able to buy one soon!"

"Haha, I'm glad to hear your words. Here, the fish is in the basin."

Zhou Xingyu looked over and saw a big red plastic bathtub for children. The tub was about six-tenths full of water, and a fish was swimming around in the water.

He leaned over to take a look and said, "Wow!"

With a cry of surprise, Zhou Xingyu bent down, placed his hands on the edge of the bathtub, and his voice began to tremble, "It's so big!"

Zhou Xingyu has seen countless wild crucian carps. Generally, wild crucian carps weigh from a few taels to one catty, and rarely exceed two catties.

The heaviest wild crucian carp he had ever caught weighed only 3 kilograms. When it was put on the market, it attracted many diners to scramble for it.

In the end, a wealthy boss offered a high price and bought the entire table of dishes.

There are very few big crucian carps like this one weighing more than 10 kilograms on the market. Even if there are, you can't buy them without certain channels and luck.

"How many pounds?" His voice was a little stammering.

"Um, I haven't weighed it, it should be more than 10 kilograms!"

Shen Yunzhao estimated it herself, and she didn't know the exact amount.

Zhou Xingyu stood up and asked seriously, "Yun Zhao, you haven't told Liang Zhenhua about this fish, right?"

"Not really."

Zhou Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yun Zhao, you must sell this fish to me! How much do you want?"

"This... I don't quite understand this." Shen Yunzhao didn't know the price of wild fish, and Cheng Shaoyuan didn't know much either, so they didn't know how much to ask.

"Then I'll give you a number for your reference."

Zhou Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Last year, someone caught a wild crucian carp weighing 3 kilograms. I bought it for 150 yuan per kilogram."

"Your fish must be over 10 jin (150 catties), probably around 11 jin (110 catties). The heavier the crucian carp, the more valuable it is. It must be more than 150 yuan. I offer 500 yuan per jin. How about that? Of course, if you're not satisfied, the price can be higher."

Zhou Xingyu looked at Shen Yunzhao eagerly, fearing that she would disagree.

Shen Yunzhao was quite shocked. It was just a crucian carp, but it could be sold for 600 yuan per catty!

The crucian carp she usually buys at the vegetable market is only about ten yuan per pound, sometimes even less than ten yuan.

This is too exaggerated!

What Shen Yunzhao didn't know was that even if you had money, you couldn't buy this kind of wild crucian carp weighing more than ten kilograms!

Because there are so few of these fish, almost none.

Shen Yunzhao was embarrassed to tell Zhou Xingyu that she had caught three crucian carps of the same size, but because the bathroom was too small to store the other two, she put them back into the small river in the space.

"Okay, 500 per pound!"

Zhou Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But can you not weigh the fish first and then weigh it when you're ready to kill it?"

He was afraid that the fish would die and no longer be fresh if weighed too late.

This fish has other uses, so it can't die now.

Shen Yunzhao didn't care about it, "Sure!"

"Don't worry, we won't overweigh the weight. Just give it the right amount."

"Haha, Brother Xingyu, we've worked together so many times, of course I trust you!"

"Also, you must not tell Liang Zhenhua that you bought this fish from here!" Zhou Xingyu emphasized.

Shen Yunzhao assured, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Zhou Xingyu quickly called someone to take the fish away.

As we were coming down the elevator, a neighbor in the same building saw us and asked curiously, "Hey, when did you catch such a big fish?"

Shen Yunzhao smiled and said, "I fished it."

"What kind of fish is this? Grass carp?"

Shen Yunzhao hummed a few times casually, and fortunately the elevator reached the first floor and the neighbor got out of the elevator.

They took the elevator to the basement floor because Zhou Xingyu Restaurant's truck was parked there.

After seeing Zhou Xingyu off, Shen Yunzhao called Zhou Xingbo and told him to start work as soon as possible, money was not a problem.

She had to quickly fix up the rented house. From now on, anything she took out of the space had to be taken outside unless she was eating it herself, and it could no longer be left in the community.

There are many people in the community and many eyes are watching. If this happens so often, I wonder if someone with a keen eye will guess something.

At the same time, she also plans to rent another warehouse on the outskirts of the city. After all, Daxing Village is far from the city and inconvenient.

While it was still early, Shen Yunzhao went to the 4S store and picked up a Wuling car with full payment.

As soon as the car arrived at the Xingguang Restaurant, Zhou Xingyu asked someone to put the fish into the kitchen and he personally called the food blogger.

"Mr. Chen, I got a big shipment today. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Ten minutes later, two young men arrived at the Starlight Restaurant.

One was 180cm tall and handsome, while the other was a little shorter and looked ordinary, holding a camera in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, you're here!"

When Zhou Xingyu saw him, his face was as big as a chrysanthemum and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.
