Puff, puff.
A strange sound came from the kitchen, which was extremely obvious in the dark night, as if something was breaking out of the ground.
Tao Nai walked into the kitchen and heard a clearer popping sound.
Looking around, she found the green oversized trash can.
Pfft, pfft, pfft.
The strange noise had an inexplicable attraction. Tao Nai reached out and opened the lid of the trash can.
Suddenly, a strange stench hit his face, like smelly fish and rotten shrimp mixed with the smell of rot. It made Tao Nai's stomach churn, and he could clearly see the situation in the trash can.
What was inside was the seafood that was dumped tonight, but strangely, there were some fluorescent blue mushrooms mixed in.
These mushrooms are not a side dish, but fresh, raw mushrooms grown from the seafood that is wasted as a base.
I have never seen mushrooms grow directly without soil and nutrients. When Tao Nai was confused, more mushrooms popped up with a popping sound.
And those little mushrooms are also slowly growing up, and the fluorescent blue on them gradually deforms, as if twisted into hideous and terrifying human faces!
Suddenly seeing the eye-like pattern on a mushroom, Tao Nai felt a strange feeling in his heart and quickly stepped back.
But she just distanced herself from the trash can and accidentally kicked the plastic bag in the corner with her heel.
Tao Nai was so frightened that he immediately turned around and saw a small mushroom falling out of the bag.
There were dozens or twenty black plastic bags placed in the aisle behind her.
The little mushroom that fell on the ground fell out of the plastic bag, and its root was connected to a small steamed fish.
The little fish was only eaten once, and then it was thrown into a garbage bag and little mushrooms grew out of it.
Tao Nai suddenly remembered what Liu Cheng and his wife said.
The residents in the town will provide fresh seafood to tourists, and will not accept anything that is not fresh.
These garbage bags are all wasted seafood, and it’s not just the case of Angel No. 4 B&B, but also every household in the town, including the Black Pearl Hotel on Fishman Island. Extravagance and waste. .
It was unimaginable how many marine creatures the people in the town had to catch every day to meet such a huge demand. Just when Tao Nai felt terrified, a hand patted her shoulder.
"Ah!" Tao Nai was startled and turned to face Ji Xiaoyue.
Ji Xiaoyue was also startled by Tao Nai: "Nanai, you are going to scare me to death!"
"Sister Xiaoyue, it's obvious that you scared me, how come you don't make any sound when you walk?" Tao Nai patted his chest and pulled Ji Xiaoyue to look at the garbage bags on the ground: "Sister Xiaoyue, the people in this small town are making a lot of noise. Capturing marine life, and also producing so much garbage due to waste, won’t the garbage truck attract attention when it is hauled out for disposal?”
"What are you talking about? The garbage in Happy Town is dumped directly into the sea, everyone does it." Ji Xiaoyue said matter-of-factly.
"Isn't this polluting the ocean?" Tao Nai looked surprised, "And there are mushrooms growing on these seafood. What are those mushrooms?"
"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us anyway. You got up just in time, let's go, I'll take you and Mianmian, and we'll go to the dock with Boss Liu." Ji Xiaoyue pulled Tao Nai and walked out.
Tao Nai just felt sick in her heart now: "Sister Xiaoyue, I don't want to go."
"Oh, Mianmian and I are with you, what are you afraid of? Or do you need to ask Shang Ming to protect you?" Ji Xiaoyue winked at Tao Nai.
"That's not what I meant..." Tao Nai had no time to explain. Ji Xiaoyue had already pulled him out of the B&B and forced her into the back seat of the car.
Liu Cheng was responsible for driving, Axiu sat in the passenger seat, and even Luo Mianmian had already sat in the back seat in advance.
After Tao Nai got in the car, Ji Xiaoyue squeezed in and closed the door without any explanation.
car
The car drove all the way and then docked at the pier.
After Tao Nai got out of the car, he found that there were many other cars parked here, and it seemed that other residents of the town were also here.
Following Liu Cheng and the others, they got off the bus and walked toward the docking station on the pier. As expected, Tao Nai saw the residents of the town standing here eagerly, as if waiting for the arrival of something.
"Coming, coming! The fishing boats are back!" Then he heard the residents in the front row laughing happily. Tao Nai heard a long roar, followed by a huge and gorgeous advanced fishing boat. Driving slowly into the pier.
This fishing boat was followed by dozens of fishing boats of the same model. The crew members stood on the deck and said hello: "This time it's all big cargo. Hurry, get all these things ashore!"
Ten fishing boats stopped at once, and people from Happy Town swarmed over to help the crew members start unloading their cargo.
And what they call goods is a terrifying amount of seafood.
Fish, shrimps, shells, starfish, sea anemones, even patches of coral, and sharks...
There are a lot of marine life, and Tao Nai even saw a small sperm whale among them!
Those sea urchins, tuna and the like were caught in groups by the crew. They were not even dead yet. They were put in sacks and thrown ashore casually, with some heads exposed, and the fish's mouths opened and closed. , looking extremely painful.
Seeing this scene, Tao Nai felt like his heart was being tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to get closer.
And at this moment, the tuna that was already dead finally stopped breathing.
"This fish is dead! Hurry, while it's still fresh!" Liu Chenggong stood beside the fish. Seeing that it was dead, he quickly called a few men over.
Before Tao Nai could figure out what Liu Cheng meant by "while it's fresh", he watched as Liu Cheng and the other men pulled out the knives stuck in their waists.
Immediately afterwards, they spread the fish on the ground, inserted the knife into the fish's back, and slashed it open!
A trace of blood flowed out, and the fish was quickly cut into pieces by several people.
Liu Cheng cut off a piece of sashimi and put it into his mouth with great enjoyment, showing a satisfied expression: "It's so delicious! Fresh seafood is indeed the best!"
The people around Liu Cheng also looked in agreement, and they all ate with enjoyment.
After seeing this, Axiu said coquettishly: "You men are so annoying. You just eat for yourself and don't leave any for us."
The corner of Liu Cheng's mouth was still stained with blood. He waved the knife in his hand to A Xiu and Tao Nai: "Aren't there so many more here? Just pick up what you want to eat, you're welcome!"
