"Son, this is a seafood market. Turtles are too big. We don't sell them here, only crabs and lobsters. How about we stew this turtle?"
Looking at the basin-sized glass fish tank on the dining table that he bought from a pet owner for another 100 yuan, Yang Dongxu said with a smile while ordering.
"Eat it, what should I do with the turtle food I just bought?" Xiao Wenchen pointed to the small bag next to him.
There was the turtle food that we bought together. The boss boasted that it was imported, but in the end he blackmailed him for another 200 yuan, and all of the 500 yuan was gone. Selling pets is not an ordinary profit.
"We'll keep it for a few days. When it finishes eating the turtle food, we can eat it again." Yang Dongxu said, pretending to be thoughtful.
"That's not good. You can't eat it after you raise it. For example, we have Dahei. I've eaten dog meat soup, but I can't eat Dahei." Xiao Wenchen protested.
"Don't you eat less of the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese that we raise at home? You even cut the grass for the sheep at home when you went back for the summer vacation. If you kill them at the end of the year, the food they eat will not be very delicious. "?" Yang Dongxu asked with a bit of a naughty smile.
"This..." After all, the child, who was only five or six years old, was a little confused for a while by his father's logical analysis.
The little waitress who came to order next to her heard Yang Dongxu's theory and the cute little Wenchen who was confused about his identity, and secretly gave Yang Dongxu a pair of eyes.
How could I teach my son this way?
Also, looking at the turtle food and fish tank placed on the dining table, it looked like they had just come out of the pet market nearby. Is the pet I just bought going to be cooked?
"Sir, we have a rule here that you cannot bring your own ingredients." Seeing the cute little Wenchen frowning and struggling with her father's logic, the waitress couldn't help but said.
"Then don't eat it. Dad won't let you eat it here." He didn't get out of the hole dug by his father, but the words of the waitress instantly gave Xiao Wenchen an excuse not to eat the turtle.
"Then don't eat here. Go home and ask Aunt Hua to cook it for you." Yang Dongxu continued with bad taste.
Xiao Wenchen, who was originally relieved, suddenly became confused again.
This time the little waitress no longer concealed her eyes, this father was... How could such a cute kid have such an unreliable father?
"Wenchen." Just when Xiao Wenchen was thinking about whether he could eat this big turtle if he raised it, a cry of surprise rang out.
Then I saw a little boy holding a toy car coming out from behind. When he saw Yang Wenchen, he ran over in surprise.
"Why are you here ahead of me?" Xiao Wenchen quickly slid off his chair and ran towards his classmates.
"You little bastard, you are here. You told me not to run around when there are many guests. What if you are captured by the bad guys?" At this time, Zhao Chaoqian's mother Miao Yaru chased him out from behind.
Seeing Xiao Wenchen, he was stunned and said, "Yang Wenchen, you are eating here too. Hello, Wenchen's father."
"Hello, Mom, are you eating here too?" Yang Dongxu met Miao Yaru during the parent-teacher meeting in the kindergarten before. Because the two children were playmates in the kindergarten, they felt that they knew each other since they were closer.
"This shop is owned by my family. Isn't it just like a lunch shop? I came here to see if I could help. But I took this guy with me, let alone work. I couldn't stand him, and he disappeared in a flash. ." Miao Yaru said this and glanced at the two children lying on the chairs next to them playing with toy cars and breathed a sigh of relief.
Children aged five or six are at the age where they are curious about everything and run around in all kinds of ways. Sometimes when you call him, he responds happily, but ignores you when he is unhappy. He can't be found hiding in a nook of a few houses.
"That's a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would just pop into a store for lunch and come to your house." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Waiter, this table is free of charge." Miao Yaru greeted the waiter and said.
"No, no, really no need. If you waive this order, I will be too embarrassed to come here to eat when I bring my children to play." Yang Dongxu waved his hand quickly.
"Just for this meal, I will definitely charge you money next time I come here. Have you ordered the food? You are not allowed to add additional dishes. You will be charged for additional dishes." Miao Yaru joked.
As he spoke, Zhao Chaoqian's father, Zhao Changjie, walked out from behind. He was still wearing work clothes, not a suit or a chef's hat, but the kind of raincoat worn by fish market owners.
"Have you found it?" Zhao Changjie asked when he saw his old shop.
"I was playing with Wen Chen over there, and I happened to meet Wen Chen's father. Why did you come out without changing your clothes?"
"Isn't it because I didn't see my son in a glance that I was a little anxious?" Zhao Changjie said.
I happened to be in this restaurant, and a batch of live seafood was delivered from the fish market. He was putting the live seafood into the fish tank for the guests to choose from, when he heard that his son had gone somewhere.
Although in his own store, all the waiters knew his son and would definitely help him keep an eye on it, but there were so many people at this lunch restaurant that he felt a little uneasy. So when he saw his wife coming out to look for her, he also followed her out to have a look.
"Hello, Father Wenchen. What a coincidence. I've invited you to have this meal, and the waiter's table is free of charge." Fortunately for the couple, they felt relieved when they saw their child, and the next thing they thought about was a treat.
"You are still talking too much. I have already said hello. Hurry up and change your clothes to look like this." Miao Yaru said.
Zhao Changjie looked at himself. He was dressed in this outfit and it was time to serve guests at dinner time. This outfit was really not suitable for coming to the front hall.
"Father Wenchen, please eat. We'll have a couple of drinks when we're done."
"You go about your business, I don't need to greet you here. Why don't you go and do your work too, and I'll look after the child for you." This seafood restaurant is not big, but it is not small either.
From the looks of the couple, they probably like to do things by themselves, so they must be very busy during this meal time.
"Then please take a look at it. The delivery person behind is still waiting for the settlement. Just wait for me for ten minutes." Miao Yaru said after looking at her son who was playing with Xiao Wenchen and stopped running around.
"Then go get busy." Yang Dongxu said.
Watching the couple leave, he shouted to the two children next to him, "Come, come, come and sit over here. Come and have breakfast in Chaoqian. By the way, let's take a look at the big turtle Wen Chen just bought."
"Turtle?" Hearing the turtle, Zhao Chaoqian trotted over.
Then the two of them lay down in front of the small fish tank and looked at the shrinking turtle inside.
"It's so small. Is this a turtle? The turtles in the aquarium are huge." Zhao Chaoqian said.
"This is the turtle. The ones in the aquarium are turtles. There are big and small turtles. This one is the one that is smaller than the one that will grow up. Hey... don't reach out, this thing is not mature enough to bite people.
Come and take these long tweezers. If you see the turtle food, grab it with the tweezers and put it in. You can eat it. "Seeing that the food had not yet been served, Yang Dongxu began to teach the two children to feed the turtles.
I don’t know if the pet shop owner was reluctant to feed the turtle because he thought it would survive, or if this guy was a little scared in a strange environment, so he turned his fear into appetite.
Once you feed it, the other person will eat it directly because of your dignity. The two children watching kept clapping their hands.
"I'll feed you, I'll feed you."
"I'll feed you too!"
"Okay, one person at a time, slow down, use the tweezers a little longer, or be careful and bite off your finger..." Yang Dongxu watched from the side.
At the same time, I was also feeling a little nervous. I had just bargained for a turtle because my son liked it. Now I remembered that even if I prepared tweezers, this thing is so big that it is still a bit dangerous for a child to feed it.
If you bite it on your finger, this thing will never let go.
"Go back and buy a larger fish tank. Let the children feed them when the time comes. Feed them for a while and see if they bite. If they are not familiar with the fish and they bite, just make soup and drink it."
Looking at the turtle that was not too fierce when it stretched out its head and slowly picked up the food on the tweezers, Yang Dongxu mentally planned for it different behaviors and different fates in the future.
The food came quickly, and Yang Dongxu started to open crabs and peel lobsters for the two children. In addition to these, he also ordered a turbot and several other dishes.
The spicy seafood goes very well with rice, but there are too many crab shells and it is a bit troublesome to remove the lobster shells. Salmon fillets are easier to eat and can be eaten directly with the sauce.
Halfway through the meal, Zhao Changjie, who had changed his clothes, came out from behind and asked with a smile, "How does my food taste?"
"This." Yang Dongxu gestured with his thumb.
"Haha, everyone who comes to eat at my house says it tastes good." Zhao Changjie said with a smile, then glanced at the food on the table and said, "The waiter came over and added two more dishes."
I really want to add more food to Yang Dongxu. If I were just being polite, I would definitely ask if the food is enough, do I want to add two more?
"No, no, we can't finish the whole table, and adding more is a waste. Have you eaten? If not, you can add two more dishes, and they will be half eaten."
"It doesn't matter." Seeing that the two children were already full and playing nearby, Yang Dongxu really didn't need to add more food. He asked the waiter to come over with a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and at the same time ordered a box of beer, "Just wait until the food is finished and add more food." , you must drink wine.”
"Then I'll give you two bottles. If you take too much, I'll take this little guy swimming in the afternoon. If you drink too much, you won't be allowed in the swimming pool." Yang Dongxu said.
Although some people always say that seafood paired with beer is the strongest laxative, sometimes it is the rhythm of preparing for a wave of gout.
But what I have to say is that spicy seafood paired with cold beer tastes really good.
"Okay, then let's rinse our mouths with two bottles each." Zhao Changjie refused to persuade him to drink.
As a father, he knew that it was best to do what he promised to a child, otherwise the little guy would lose his temper.
"Dad, I want to go swimming too." When Zhao Chaoqian heard that Wen Chen was going to swim, he immediately shouted that he wanted to go too.
Children are like this. One of them is doing something, and then other children gather around him.
"Not today. Someone has booked a table for the evening. Your mother and I are very busy. Let your mother accompany you tomorrow." Zhao Changjie said.
I went to bring back a batch of fresh seafood at noon, just to prepare for the table reservation in the evening. Otherwise, the goods are usually purchased in the middle of the night and in the morning, not at noon.
"No, I want to go today." The little guy got angry.
"You choose the latest Ultraman or go swimming. If you go swimming in the afternoon, Ultraman is gone. If you go swimming tomorrow, there will be swimming and Ultraman." Zhao Changjie is also experienced in dealing with children.
I didn’t say anything about being obedient. Doesn’t my words have any effect? Or lose your temper with some tough attitude.
Just grab what your child likes and choose one from the other.
Adults want them all, but Zhao Chaoqian is obviously a child, so he frowns and is a little confused about which one he wants.
