Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Seven You Believe in Him, This Bad Old Man Is Very Bad

"Otherwise, how about going to buy you the best seafood tomorrow? Big lobster and tuna are fine. If you have any seal meat and dried whale, I'll buy you some?" Luke asked tentatively.

A certain dog's head suddenly raised, barked, bowed his body, and scurried around the room, obviously very satisfied with the reward.

Luke smiled and watched it go back and forth for several laps before grabbing its dog's head and breaking it in front of him: "But remember one thing, protect Selena, or you will understand."

Selena is safe, that's all to say.

If something happened to Selena, he would definitely slap the shit out of it.

A certain dog's head was shivering, but he didn't care too much in his heart.

The big devil loves Selena the most. This is an iron fact, and it is also very desperate.

The next day, Luke and Selena got up early, went out before dawn, and even brought breakfast to the car.

The two went to the Saigon Seafood Market in the Chinese District of San Gabriel Valley with a dog.

This is the place to buy seafood ingredients passed down by the mouth of the gluttons in the Los Angeles area, and there are many time-honored brands operating here.

This is to buy a gift for the gold nugget. By the way, Luke will also pack a lot of seafood back to try new dishes, killing two birds with one stone.

It was rare for him and Selena to come here to buy these things, and most of the shopping was to the supermarket.

But in the supermarkets they usually go to, the seafood in it is not as rich as this professional seafood market, and it is not easy to buy high-quality ones.

After entering, most of the stalls are bustling.

In the darkest hour before dawn, the stalls in the market were brightly lit.

There are people everywhere, walking back and forth, some bargaining with the boss, some chatting or taunting with their peers, some dragging their gains and going out.

There were puddles of water stains everywhere on the ground, and there was a strong smell of the sea, which seemed a little messy.

However, it is full of vitality and full of the breath of life.

These are people who work hard and live hard.

Selena was shocked to see this scene: "My God! I never knew,

There are so many people in Los Angeles getting up early, are they just to buy fresh seafood? "

Luke smiled and took her to the stalls: "Of course. Those who really work hard will definitely know what Los Angeles looks like at four in the morning."

Selena looked at her watch subconsciously: "Isn't it half past five?"

Luke shrugged: "But we got up at four o'clock and drove over an hour before the car came."

Selena patted her forehead: "My fault. Thank you for your hard work, dear."

The two were chatting there, but they were so anxious about an alien dog that they pulled Selina's trousers with their mouths, while not forgetting to be crazy.

The two of them can understand without looking at the expression on the dog's head, which means: Hey, didn't you say you want to buy me a present? Hurry up, or you will be robbed.

In fact, business is really booming here.

The people who come here are either gluttonous or catering workers.

The gluttony is to satisfy the appetite, and the catering industry personnel are here to earn hard-working and professional money.

As long as many things here are put into the chilled counters of Chinese small supermarkets, the price will increase by half or several times, depending on the scarcity of the goods.

However, Luke and the two don't need to grab it.

Luke does not pursue any precious ingredients, but pays attention to what he likes first, and the second is the taste.

Price is not a factor he needs to consider.

Therefore, as long as he encounters ingredients that are looted by many people, he will resolutely give up, and his keen sense of smell can also ensure that all the ingredients he buys are fresh and authentic.

Gold Nugget's saliva never stopped.

It really likes seafood, but Luke doesn't cook much or buy much.

Compared with pigs, cattle and sheep, it is too troublesome to buy seafood.

Luke doesn't like poor-quality seafood, so he won't buy it.

Now the Great Demon King has come to this feng shui treasure voluntarily, and it is clearly said that he is buying it for it, it is really going to be crazy.

Similarly, the gold nugget has no sense of the preciousness of the ingredients, and chooses it purely according to their own preferences.

Selena and it have developed a tacit understanding, and almost as long as you listen to it, and then look at its gaze, you will know what it sees.

Gold nugget's sense of smell is also exaggerated, and Mei Dao's big nose is not white.

Fresh prawns, lobsters, grouper, and tuna are all bought in large quantities, and other crabs and sea urchins are only purchased in moderation.

These are what Gold Nugget likes, and Luke and Selena will only taste them.

But there was only one thing, and both Selena and Gold Nugget took a fancy to it.

That's the king crab.

Generally speaking, the king crabs in the Bering Strait are only caught and marketed in September and October each year, while the king crabs in South America and Chile are marketed in large quantities in July every year.

Although it is only June 10th, there are still small amounts of Chilean king crabs flowing out of some channels.

However, this price is also much more exaggerated than a month later.

Listening to the Chinese shopkeeper introducing the deliciousness of the "only two" Chilean king crab, the two foodies beside Luke opened their mouths at the same time, and the drool of the beautiful knife flowed out wildly and mixed into the beach at the door.

Selena was better, she finally remembered to swallow her saliva, but eager eyes also came over.

Luke waved his hand: "All."

After he finished speaking, he got closer to the forty-year-old Chinese boss and lowered his voice: "I won't bargain for you, but give me ten more of this stuff."

The Chinese boss showed a fascinated smile: "It's really just these two."

Luke raised his eyebrows: "At the current price, pay in cash." He took out two rolls of hundred-yuan bills and threw them to the lady boss at the counter two meters away.

The Chinese boss's smile froze.

The proprietress, who is also Chinese, fluttered her fingers, passed the banknotes faster than the money detector, and nodded to the boss.

She squeezed the two rolls of beautiful knives tightly in her hands, obviously not wanting to let go.

The smile of the Chinese boss suddenly became brighter: "Then wait, I will help you go to other places and ask."

Luke also smiled and nodded, watching the boss greet the proprietress in the store, and walked to the back of the store.

Selena wondered: "Didn't he say this thing is scarce? Where did he find it?"

Luke put his mouth to her ear: "You believe him! This bad old man is very bad. He has stock in the back of the store, but they are all on display. How can he be called the "only two" king crab, and he is still How to drive up the market price."

Selena: ⊙0⊙!

The price given by the owner, even for the scarce goods, is too high, otherwise, where can she see the king crab.

Fortunately, on the way Luke came here, he had already mentioned to her that he had made a lot of extra money by going to Antarctica this time, otherwise she would have been muttering all day, saying that he wasted.

Well, even though the two of them are very rich, Selena has never been in the habit of wasting since she was a child.

It didn't take long for the owner of the "bad old man" to come back, saying something like "I finally got the goods together".

Luke was too lazy to say more, and interrupted: "Okay, I've given the money, you still want to increase the price."
