Hating a person may be because of a certain thing, a certain word, or even a certain expression. The same is true for loving a person. Wu Lili never thought that her fate would quietly change when she got on the same bus as Liu Wei'an.
"When will the pufferfish be served?" Liu Wei'an put down his chopsticks, still unfinished.
He wasn't sure whether it was because he was too hungry or because the chefs here were really top-notch. Anyway, everything he ate tasted delicious, even the chili was particularly flavorful.
"It may take another thirty minutes." Wu Lili glanced at the time and said, as if she was afraid that Liu Wei'an would be impatient, and explained: "Because we are arresting and killing now, it will take a while."
"It's boring to wait, just show up and take a look." Liu Wei'an didn't know what the pufferfish looked like, so he became interested in taking a look.
"How about some more food?" Wu Lili had no interest in the bloody scene of killing fish.
"Five minutes full, just right. If you eat more, you won't be able to taste the pufferfish anymore." Liu Wei'an stood up, "Let's go."
"Right."
…
Every chef has his own secret for slaughtering puffer fish. They were not allowed to watch originally. However, the secret is different from ordinary people. Wu Lili and Liu Wei'an came to the place where puffer fish is slaughtered and saw many spectators watching. They They were all diners who came to eat, and several of the female companions took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
The faucet was turned on to the maximum, and the tap water was gushing. The chef is a man in his forties, with a simple appearance, short height, and looks very dull, but his hands are slender and flexible, and all kinds of kitchen utensils seem to come alive in his hands.
The scissors were stretched and retracted. Before many people could see clearly, the two eyes of the puffer fish were picked out, and the fins were cut off. The blood flowed along the tap water to a place dedicated to sewage treatment. The fish maw had already opened a hole, and the chef The movement was dazzlingly fast, and the internal organs had been cleaned out in a few seconds. There was a click and a crisp sound. A horizontal bone was cut off near the tail of the fish. The chef turned the puffer over and removed the skin. The pufferfish has never left the faucet during this process of losing its fat and revealing its snow-white body.
Someone who specializes in collecting the fish's eyes, internal organs, etc., put them into a black plastic bag. Wu Lili seemed to see Liu Wei'an's confusion and explained softly: "The toxin of puffer fish usually hits the eyes, Blood, ovaries, liver and other parts must be processed separately to avoid polluting the environment here."
Liu Wei'an was about to speak when he suddenly saw several people walking in from the gate, their eyes sharp and menacing. The crowd suddenly caused a commotion.
The first one has a handsome face, a slender figure, a hooked nose, and a tight mouth, giving people a sense of perseverance and coldness. His walking posture is wide and wide. One person suppresses the momentum of everyone else. His clothes are luxurious and his eyes are extremely aggressive. Xing, several young men behind him, also had a very different temperament, but compared with this person, they fell behind. Song Haifei trotted behind him, looking a little embarrassed.
"Isn't there still pufferfish? Is Mr. Song also bullying students?" The leading young man glanced at the pufferfish soaked in the clear water, and a cold smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Although he was smiling, everyone present felt a chill.
"Yushui family only brings thirty pufferfish every day, and they are gone after they are killed. These are all reserved by customers. How dare I lie to Master Ma." Song Haifei whispered, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
Hearing Song Haifei call the young man Ma Shao, and referring to the young man's appearance and posture, the onlookers immediately thought of one person, Ma Xiaoyu, the eldest son of the Ma family, a well-known playboy. Their expressions changed, and several people stepped back and quietly left the place.
Ma Xiaoyu sneered, "I, Ma Xiaoyu, came here to watch you, but you refused to eat a pufferfish. Believe it or not, I destroyed this place?"
"Today is really unlucky. Otherwise, I would have called someone to deliver it immediately. Mr. Ma, please sit down for a moment and drink a cup of tea. I have prepared the box." Song Haifei said in a low voice, with sweat appearing on his forehead. .
"I'm here to treat you. Do you think you're going on a tour? Drinking tea? Do you want to send beggars?" Ma Xiaoyu pointed to the shaved pufferfish in the water and said calmly: "Don't blame me for not giving you face. In an hour, I'm going to see you. The puffer fish is served to the table, otherwise, I would be happy to let you see how I, Ma Xiaoyu, move my muscles."
"What?" A group of people came out from the backyard. There were seven or eight handsome men and two women. Judging from their expressions, they must have been hanging out at Yushui's house. They happened to walk here when one of them, a muscular young man, saw Ma Xiaoyu using his fingers. Looking at the pufferfish, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Ma Xiaoyu, do you want the puffer fish that I, Lao Zhu, ordered?"
Ma Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect to see Zhu Yunqiang here, and his arrogant aura subsided a little. "Who did I ask? It turned out to be Young Master Zhu. Didn't you go to Xiangshui Province?"
"Do I need to tell you where I'm going?" Zhu Yunqiang turned to Song Haifei and said with a smile: "After the puffer fish is ready, let me know that we are fishing there. If anyone dares to mess around, let me know and I will give it to you." He’s loose and loose.”
Song Haifei was obedient. Ma Xiaoyu's face immediately turned gloomy. Doesn't this 'someone' refer to him? Everyone saw his fists clenched, veins popping out, and murderous intent looming in his squinted eyes, but they still held back in the end. Zhu Yunqiang smiled lightly.
"Walk."
The aroma was fragrant. The waiter pushed a food cart out of the kitchen and happened to pass by. There was a large plate of fish on it. What could it be if it wasn't puffer fish?
"Yeah, it's our pufferfish." Wu Lili cheered. There is a sign hanging on the dining car with the number of the yard written on it, so you can tell whose dish is served at a glance.
Ma Xiaoyu, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around when he heard these words, pointed at the steaming puffer fish, and said without hesitation: "This belongs to me."
Wu Lili and Song Haifei's expressions changed at the same time. Wu Lili said angrily: "Why?"
"Well, Master Ma, this is inappropriate." Song Haifei whispered.
Ma Xiaoyu suddenly smiled slightly. One moment it was dark clouds, but the next moment it was spring breeze. He patted Song Haifei on the shoulder and said intimately: "I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you. I believe you are an understanding person."
Song Haifei's face turned green and white, and he was stunned for a long time. Finally, he suddenly made up his mind, walked up to Wu Lili and the two of them, and said apologetically: "Junior sister, I'm sorry."
"Senior brother——" Wu Lili's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, junior sister, just help senior brother. Next time senior brother invites you, apologize." Song Haifei whispered. "Brother, you-" Wu Lili was extremely angry, her face turned pale with anger. If it were other times, she could have held it back, but this time she brought Liu Wei'an with her. Song Haifei's behavior made her feel extremely... insult.
"Forget it." Liu Wei'an held down Wu Lili, who was about to become furious, "It's almost time to eat anyway."
"Today's meal is mine. You can eat whatever you want except dolphins." Song Haifei glanced at Liu Wei'an with a hint of threat in his eyes.
"We can't let it go like this." Wu Lili said loudly.
"Send this puffer fish to Master Ma's yard." Song Haifei ignored Wu Lili and turned around to leave. At this moment, he had decided to give up on Wu Lili. Although a woman is good, she is not as good as a career.
"I'm very optimistic about you." Ma Xiaoyu laughed wildly. Although the young masters behind him did not speak, they also showed proud smiles, but their eyes were filled with contempt.
"Beauty, if you want to eat puffer fish, come with your brother. You can eat as much as you want." Ma Xiaoyu looked at Wu Lili, with an evil light passing through his squinted eyes. It is rare to see such a beautiful woman, and with his eyes , he could tell at a glance that Wu Lili was still a virgin, which made his heart skip a beat.
"Really?" Wu Lili was extremely angry in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face: "Is it okay if I want to eat two?"
Ma Xiaoyu's smile froze, then turned gloomy, and said coldly: "Before you speak, you'd better think about your identity clearly, so as not to cause trouble and harm your family."
Wu Lili's face changed, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. Then she remembered Ma Xiaoyu's identity. Although his father had a high status, Ma Xiaoyu's desire to punish him was as much as to punish a fly, not to mention that she was still a student. I was so scared that I couldn't even speak.
"Come to my yard, have a few glasses of wine, and I'll pretend this didn't happen." Ma Xiaoyu enjoyed this condescending gesture.
Just as he finished speaking, his vision suddenly dimmed, and a tall figure stood in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a man standing next to Wu Lili who had not spoken. The two of them were about the same stature, but for some reason, Ma Xiaoyu felt that this man Extremely tall, like a mountain.
Boom!
Ma Xiaoyu was followed closely by two sturdy bodyguards. When Liu Wei'an appeared, the two of them changed color at the same time and rushed forward. As fast as lightning, when they were about to touch Liu Wei'an's shoulder, Liu Wei'an took a step forward, his energy exploded, and the whole world seemed to shake.
The two bodyguards retreated violently as if struck by lightning. However, they only retreated five or six meters and immediately rushed forward again. After a few steps, they stopped again. The two people's faces turned pale, and one of them trembled: "Don't mess around."
Liu Wei'an held Ma Xiaoyu's body like a chicken, pinched his neck with his right hand, and said calmly: "I think this puffer fish should be mine, what do you think?"
Ma Xiaoyu's face turned red and he couldn't breathe at all, let alone talk. After more than ten seconds, he rolled his eyes and his face began to turn dark. Liu Wei'an loosened his fingers. In this process, the two bodyguards Several young people accompanying Ma Xiaoyu were in shock and forgot to even threaten him.
Also shocked were the diners who had not left, with expressions as if they had seen a man-eating monster.
