"Mr. Zhou," Chen Muhua shook hands with Zhou Xingyu, showing a decent and polite smile, "Mr. Zhou, what good stuff did you get today?"
"Haha, a fish, you probably haven't seen it before! You'll know when you see it later."
Chen Muhua was very curious about what kind of fish Zhou Xingyu valued so much that he even called him over in person.
The assistant next to him whispered, "Brother Chen, I think this Zhou guy has never seen much of the world. He's praising an ordinary fish as a dragon!"
In fact, it’s no wonder that the assistant said that. He has visited countless restaurants with Chen Muhua, and many of the foods are really just average. The taste can’t be said to be very good, although it’s not bad either.
However, the owners, chefs and even diners of these restaurants all praised it highly, treating it as a delicacy and nectar.
At first, the assistant thought that these people were just bragging, but later found out that it was not the case. It was simply because these people had not seen much of the world and had never eaten any real top-quality food.
Chen Muhua glared at the assistant and asked, "Didn't the red mushroom you ate yesterday taste good?"
The assistant chuckled and said that the red mushroom was really delicious and had a unique taste.
"Don't underestimate any restaurant. Although this restaurant has only been open for a short time, it's said that they often get high-quality mountain products. Maybe they can give us a surprise this time."
The assistant curled his lips, obviously not quite believing it.
The two followed Zhou Xingyu into a room next to the kitchen. There were seven or eight extra-large fish tanks in the room, which were usually used to raise fish.
The fish in this fish tank are either wild river fish or precious sea fish caught from the sea.
Chen Muhua and his assistant didn't even look at those wild river or sea fish. After seeing them so many times, they didn't think these things were so precious.
"Here, this is the fish."
Zhou Xingyu pointed to one of the large fish tanks, where a fish was swimming around.
"Mr. Zhou, that's it?"
The assistant glanced at it and then looked away, saying sarcastically, "It's just an ordinary fish. It's not very big, it looks like it weighs only about ten pounds."
There are so many fish weighing ten pounds or so. What’s there to see?
Zhou Xingyu said meaningfully, "Would you like to take another look at what kind of fish this is?"
"What kind of fish could it be? It's just a crucian carp... a crucian carp! Holy crap!"
The young assistant was stunned on the spot. A crucian carp weighing over ten pounds!
Crucian carp!
How much did the biggest crucian carp he had ever seen weigh?
6 jin.
When they first saw the crucian carp, a group of people surrounded the fish tank in three layers, making it impossible to get in or out.
If it weren't for Brother Chen's reputation, he wouldn't even be able to squeeze in.
The fishmonger was particularly proud of the crucian carp and praised it to the heavens and earth, praising it to the point of being beyond compare.
Although the fish shop owner's words were exaggerated, crucian carp weighing more than 2 kilograms are indeed rare, and everyone was shocked.
"This, this, this, is it really a crucian carp?" The young assistant's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"Of course it's crucian carp, wild at that!"
Zhou Xingyu straightened his chest and said with pride, "This fish I caught with great difficulty! This kind of fish is rare, right? Haha, you probably haven't seen it before."
The young assistant didn't say anything, thinking that just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean that my brother Chen hasn't seen it.
Just as he was about to say that Brother Chen must have seen it, he saw Chen Muhua lying on the fish tank, his eyes almost touching the water surface, and his excitement was even more exaggerated than his.
Tsk, it turns out Brother Chen has never seen such a big wild crucian carp!
The young assistant silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
When the security guard came in, he found that three people, including his boss, were all sticking to the fish tank, staring at the fish in the tank without blinking.
If he were that fish, he thought, he would be scared to death by the gazes of the three people.
"Mr. Zhou," the security guard said cautiously, "Um, do we need to move the fish out?"
Zhou Xingyu finally regained his composure, stood up straight, and said calmly, "Okay, move the fish tank out now. Move it to the lobby."
"Why do you want to move out?" Chen Muhua asked puzzledly.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, good things should be appreciated by everyone!"
Now Zhou Xingyu wished that the people in the restaurant could use a loudspeaker and drive around the city with the crucian carp in their car, letting everyone know that their Xingguang Restaurant had a wild crucian carp weighing more than 10 kilograms.
Of course, he knew this was impossible.
However, he can put the fish in the most conspicuous place in the lobby for everyone to see!
"Ah, is this necessary?" Chen Muhua didn't understand the businessman's complicated thoughts.
Zhou Xingyu smiled meaningfully, "Of course it's necessary! Mr. Chen, have you ever heard that when a fisherman catches a big fish, he rides his bicycle around the city with the fish on his back? That's pretty much what we mean."
"Haha, so that's how it is!" Chen Muhua laughed and understood Zhou Xingyu's approach.
The fish tank was too heavy, so in addition to the security guard, other people from the restaurant also came to help.
With the help of more than a dozen people, the fish tank was quickly moved to the most conspicuous place in the lobby.
Then, Zhou Xingyu specially called a security guard and asked him to stand next to the fish tank and not go anywhere.
If you need to go to the toilet or eat, you must find someone to replace you before you can leave.
The news that the Xingguang Restaurant had a wild crucian carp weighing more than 10 kilograms spread like wildfire, and soon spread to everyone in half of the county.
Many people came over to watch the fun, and many people expressed their confusion when they saw that it was just a crucian carp weighing about ten pounds. It was just a crucian carp, what was so good about it?
However, with the help of the people around me, I finally understood why this fish is so precious.
So, today the lobby of the Starlight Restaurant was full of people. It was so crowded that it was difficult to turn around, and exclamations could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
“Wow, it’s so big!”
"What a precious fish!"
"It seems different from ordinary crucian carp. Its eyes are so big, and its mouth is so big too..."
"Nonsense! How could its eyes and mouth not be big? The key is that this fish is too precious. I've looked it up, and wild crucian carp of this size are rare in the world..."
Liang Zhenhua had heard about the big crucian carp in the Xingguang Restaurant half an hour ago. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but the rumors became more and more outrageous. He could no longer sit still and rode his electric bike to the Xingguang Restaurant.
After entering the restaurant, he pretended to be an ordinary tourist and squeezed into the crowd to watch.
When he saw the fish, his pupils suddenly shrank. Oh my god, what a big crucian carp!
Still wild!
Zhou Xingyu is such a capable guy, he can even get such good stuff!
Liang Zhenhua couldn't describe what he felt at this moment. He felt jealous, envious, and admired. It was sour and very uncomfortable.
Damn Zhou Xingyu, where did this guy get this good stuff?
No, I must find out!
"Hey, Mr. Liang, you're here too?"
As soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, Liang Zhenhua heard Zhou Xingyu's exaggerated voice.
