Chapter 25 The sought-after spiny lobster

Another day passed, and Ma Xinquan was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but he didn't even look forward to the fish seller boy or girl.

This made Ma Xinquan find the feeling of being broken in love back then. He felt empty, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, his hair was messed up like a chicken coop, his face was full of oil, his beard was unshaven, and he looked decadent.

Inquired about the situation with the security guard, the uncle knew nothing except that Lu Xiaolu belonged to this school.

No way, Ma Xinquan could only bite the bullet and go to the school to ask.

Looking at his wretched appearance, he looked like a mental patient. Even if the students knew the information about Lu Xiaolu, they didn't dare to disclose it casually. Seeing him running faster than a rabbit, they almost didn't call the police.

With nothing to do, Ma Xinquan could only wander around the seafood store, hoping to buy something good.

Tomorrow is Monday, and the banquet and the boss are all booked for the night. If he can't find the supply again, he, the head chef, will be exhausted.

But what time is it, not to mention the good ones, the inferior ones are almost sold out, and there are still a few with white bellies that don’t move. The boss asked him if he wanted it, and he would give it to him for five yuan a catty.

"."

Before dawn the next day, Ma Xinquan stood by the beach, waiting for the fishermen to return.

Not to mention, because of the high price, he really got two two-jin stonefish.

Although this stuff is very toxic, it is also a delicacy if it is processed well. The market price is 125 a catty. Ma Xinquan was hacked by fishermen, and two fish cost him more than 800.

Carefully sending the stonefish back to the store, Ma Xinquan and the manager nicknamed "Aunt" looked at them worryingly.

Just these two fish can't support the table at all.

"No, I have to go!"

"I'll go with you."

The two arrived at the gate of Xiamen University on an electric bicycle. It was only ten o'clock at this time, and he planned to stay here to guard.

"Can't open the store without that young man?" The aunt was very puzzled why the old horse insisted on coming here to guard.

"You never went to the market to buy fish, so you don't understand it at all. I'm too lazy to tell you." The old horse wanted to light a cigarette, but the blister on his mouth was very painful.

After sitting for a while, the security guard opened the door and came out, smiling authentically: "Are you here to buy fish again?"

The old horse was very annoyed, but he still patiently handed him a cigarette without talking to him.

Unexpectedly, the security guard said again: "You counted it today. I saw Lu Xiaolu in the morning. Oh, it was the fish seller. He went out in a tricycle."

One sentence ignited the old horse's enthusiasm, he quickly put on a smiling face, and lit a cigarette for the old man.

The old man exhaled a puff of smoke ring beautifully and said: "I even asked specifically, saying that today is going to sea."

"Oh brother, thank you so much!" The old horse kept shaking the old man's hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Ahem, then I'll go back first." Withdrawing his hand calmly, the old man hurried back to the security booth, thinking that this man is really a greedy ghost, isn't it just a few fish, if he doesn't eat he will die.

Lao Ma didn't care too much. If he couldn't pay the mortgage because he didn't have these few fish, his old women might really kill him.

Maybe it was lucky for the old horse today. Just after four o'clock, the young man rode a tricycle and came all the way.

The old horse threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and rushed forward: "Little brother, you are here too."

"Buying fish? Wait a minute, I'll ask my friend to come over with a scale." After parking the car, Lu Xiaolu called Xue Li.

I never thought that there would be a sudden "Aw~" from the side, but with a loud voice, Lu Xiaolu was frightened, and he glared at the old horse: "What are you doing!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how much is the lobster in your pot? I'll take it! Auntie, come and see!"

Before Lu Xiaolu could speak, the chubby manager walked over slowly.

"Why are you so surprised, oh~" Another voice almost scared Lu Xiaolu into a heart attack: "What are you doing!"

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe." The aunt patted the old horse's shoulder, her eyes narrowed again in excitement.

At this time, there were not many people on the street, but a young man ran over to look into the carriage and shouted loudly: "The little donkey is back, there are a lot of big lobsters, come on!"

With a sound of "唰~", there was a crowd of people in front of the car, who came out of nowhere.

“Such a big lobster!”

"It's still so much! How much is a catty, little donkey."

"Spiny lobster, I remember, last time one was bought by my second uncle, 180 a catty, right donkey."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's okay. Buy one and give it to your mother-in-law."

"I want one too!"

What the onlookers said made the old horse and the aunt panic, and they didn’t care if it was 180 a catty. They jumped up and shouted: "We have all the lobsters! Let’s add money! 190!"

I never thought that this sentence would make the masses fry.

"Who are you, you can pack it if you say it?"

"That's right, I think it's great to have two bad money, as if someone can't afford it."

"Go away quickly, don't delay the little donkey's business."

"."

The messy and noisy Lu Xiaolu had his head blown. Seeing Xue Li standing outside the crowd, he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd.

"Xue Li, come and watch first, I'll go back to the dormitory to get the scale."

"Ok!"

Shirley was full of aura, and wherever she went, the crowd gave way, sitting on the tricycle and looking around, no one shouted.

The old horse and the aunt wanted to talk to Shirley about buying lobsters, but they were scolded by the crowd.

"What's the hurry, didn't you see that the scale hasn't been brought yet? Hurry up to reincarnate!"

"That's right, they don't have any quality at all. Shirley, I can't sell them lobsters later, we still have to buy them."

"Ah? There are so many lobsters, don't worry, we won't increase the price, everyone has a share, and those who can't be ranked will be given priority in the future."

Only then did Shirley see the dozen or so spiny lobsters in the carriage, and she made a sales plan with a smile.

Seeing Shirley say this, Lao Ma and Auntie were heartbroken. It turns out that Shirley is the real master of the house.

When Lu Xiaolu came back, the crowd had already lined up. The old horse and the aunt stood at the front. They were indeed the first to come. Lu Xiaolu explained to Xueli before leaving.

The old horse and the aunt flushed with excitement, and they wanted to buy all the lobsters as soon as they opened their mouths, which caused the crowd to curse again.

Shirley smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but we still have so many neighbors who want to buy them. Lobsters are rare, so they can only be limited, one per person."

"This"

"Buy it or not, if you don't buy it, go away!"

"Buy, buy, buy! Let's buy!"

The two of them were not picky anymore, and quickly finished loading the lobsters and then took aim at the fish in the next basin.

Although I couldn't buy all the lobsters, there is no limit to the fish next to it.

When the two left, each of them carried two big bags, and they bought all the biggest fish.
