Chapter 208 Aunt Lucy
When you go to an unfamiliar place and want to know about it, the best way is to go here to shop, eat, play, these three places!
Among them, the shopping place can let you know the shopping preferences of the locals, what the locals like to buy and what to wear, you can learn about it here!
The place to eat can let you experience the eating habits and tastes of the locals, as well as the local special food that has been passed down for a long time and has a history!
A place to play can let you know the local customs and culture that have been passed down for a long time, and the local has a unique and historic toy!
Early the next morning, Arthur took Lucia alone to the Marlin Shopping Center west of Fishman Island!
This is the largest and most luxurious shopping mall on Fishman Island, where you can eat, drink, play, and have everything you need, and Arthur and Lucia chose here as their first stop!
"Arthur, here, here, here is where I used to work, this is the oldest barbecue restaurant on Fishman Island, with a history of three hundred years, and the owner, Aunt Lucy, has fifty years of barbecue experience. Master, even the king came here to eat barbecue!"
As soon as she entered the shopping center, Lucia excitedly took Arthur into an ancient-looking barbecue shop made of coral and shells!
"what!?"
As soon as they got to the door, they heard a surprised sound.
"Lucia, you're fine, that's great!" I saw a fat mermaid aunt with a height of two meters with reddened eyes, hurried out and hugged Lucia tightly.
"Aunt Lucy, I'm fine!" Lucia also hugged the fat mermaid aunt tightly, her eyes a little red.
After a while, the two separated.
"By the way, Lucia, what happened to you during this time, I'm going crazy looking for you, but I can't find you!" Aunt Lucy couldn't help but ask as soon as they separated.
"Aunt Lucy, this is what happened" Lucia told Aunt Lucy the whole story carefully.
"call--"
After listening, Aunt Lucy patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Fortunately, fortunately!"
Afterwards, she turned her eyes to Arthur again, and said boldly, "Come on, come into the store, today, Aunt Lucy, I will show you a hand and let you taste my craftsmanship! Just so, I bought a fresh one this morning. The king's shellfish, I'll bake it for you too!"
"King Bei!" Before Arthur could speak, Lucia couldn't help but let out an excited cry, showing a greedy face, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, as if she was remembering something!
Mermaids don't eat meat and fish, but they still eat shellfish!
"That's right, it's your favorite king shellfish!" Aunt Lucy smiled slightly, then changed her voice and said proudly, "I tell you, this king shellfish can be unexpectedly big this morning, full of It is two meters long, and the shellfish is one meter and three long, with a total weight of more than 80 catties, and the shellfish weighs more than 50 catties. If it wasn't for my good relationship with the seller, I really couldn't buy it!"
"But, Aunt Lucy, this is too precious!" Lucia said hesitantly, "The average king bee costs 100,000 Baileys, and today's one costs at least 200,000 Baileys, right?"
"It's alright!" Aunt Lucy waved her hand and said in a big voice, "It's hard for you to come back, so of course you have to celebrate! And"
Having said that, Aunt Lucy stopped, looked back and forth between Arthur and Lucia for a while with ambiguous eyes, and continued with a smile, "It's a gift for you, hehe!"
"brush!"
Lucia's little face instantly turned red, she quickly waved her hand in denial, "Aunt Lucy, that's not the case!" After saying that, she secretly looked at Arthur's reaction.
I saw that Arthur smiled and did not deny it.
"Plop plop!"
Suddenly, Lucia's little face blushed more thoroughly, and her heart couldn't help beating faster.
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the surroundings.
Of course, Aunt Lucy could see the ambiguous atmosphere. After waiting for a while, she broke the ambiguous atmosphere and greeted, "Okay, okay! Whether it's like that or not, come in quickly!"
The two entered the store.
This barbecue restaurant is different from the barbecue restaurants Arthur has seen before, but it is very characteristic of Fishman Island.
There is only one oven in the store, placed in the center of the store. It is a shell about five meters in size. The large shell is covered with a layer of barbed wire, and under the barbed wire is a layer of black charcoal, and the seats in the store are full. Coral chairs and coral tables that extend from the surrounding coral walls.
Because it was early in the morning, there was no one in the store, and the seats were all empty.
The two casually found a window facing the street and sat down, while Aunt Lucy walked straight into the store.
Taking this opportunity, Arthur asked Lucia, "You have a good relationship with Aunt Lucy! It doesn't look like a boss-employee relationship!"
"Aunt Lucy is really my boss, but she is really kind to me!" Lucia nodded seriously and said, "Five years ago, my parents were eaten by sea beasts, and I was only twelve years old at the time. After I was sad, I was kicked out by the landlord because I had no money and could not pay the rent!"
"After being kicked out, because I had no money to eat, I was stupefied by hunger. At that time, I didn't know why I came here. Aunt Lucy saw that I was pitiful, so she took me in to work here and helped me pay the rent. , I can survive!"
"Later, when I was working here, Aunt Lucy also took care of me, taught me the skills of barbecue, and bought me clothes."
Arthur looked at the mermaid who kept telling the interesting stories of working here with Aunt Lucy, the mermaid with a poor background, but still smiling happily, something seemed to be touched deep inside!
After a while, Aunt Lucy came out carrying a huge shell.
She put the shell on the oven, then took out a igniter and set the whole stove on fire.
With the burning of the charcoal in the stove, a stream of hot air rose out, and the temperature in the entire store rose a lot!
Because Dawangbei was too big, Aunt Lucy put it there after lighting the fire, then turned around and went to the store to pick up some ingredients and put them on the oven to bake.
"呲呲呲!"
The oil dripped on the ingredients fell on the charcoal, and the aroma of barbecue permeated.
After a while, Aunt Lucy smiled and took two trays of baked goods, placed them on Arthur's table, and said, "Come on, try my craft!"
Arthur was not polite either, picked up a bunch of grilled shrimp and ate it.
Eyes lit up.
The fresh and sweet shrimp meat, the salty and fragrant barbecue seasonings appeared in Arthur's mouth, but there was no sense of incongruity, but they were mixed together very harmoniously.
"Yes! It's delicious!" Arthur nodded with satisfaction while eating. Aunt Lucy's barbecue skills are even better than the chefs in his palace!
"Eat more if it's delicious!" Aunt Lucy smiled brightly. In her opinion, delicious food is the biggest compliment to her!
Soon, the sea vegetables, seaweed, mussels, scallops, grilled fish, and other seafood on the two plates were eaten by Arthur and Lucia one by one.
"I'll bake some more for you!" Upon seeing this, Aunt Lucy said with a smile.
"Then trouble Auntie!" Arthur said with a smile.
"Hey, what's the trouble, you wait here, you'll be fine right away!" Aunt Lucy waved her hand indifferently, then turned around and went to continue baking!
The two of them ate for a full hour.
Most of them are eaten by Arthur!
And just after the two had eaten the last string, the king shell was fine too!
A whole big Wang Bei was directly carried onto the table by Aunt Lucy, filling the entire table.
The meat of the roasted king shell looks like scallop shell, and there are some red peppers and green chopped green onion on the shell, which looks very attractive overall.
Arthur took a knife and cut a piece, put it directly into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
Well. Delicious!
It tastes a bit like steamed scallops, but much tastier than steamed scallops.
Fresh and sweet with a hint of spiciness!
After eating a piece of meat, Arthur closed his eyes and felt it carefully. After a full minute, the taste of the shellfish still reverberated in his mouth.
Arthur couldn't help giving Aunt Lucy a thumbs up!
"Haha!" Aunt Lucy smiled brightly.
In less than ten minutes after that, Arthur alone ate more than 40 kilograms of 50 catties of shellfish, and because Lucia had eaten a lot of barbecue before, she only ate a little shellfish, so she couldn't hold it!
After eating, the two of them didn't stay in the store any longer, and they were about to leave. Before leaving, Lucia said hello to Aunt Lucy and said, "Aunt Lucy, I'm leaving, I'll come back in two days. Look at you!"
"Well, goodbye!" Aunt Lucy waved her hand with a smile.
The two quickly left here and walked deep into the shopping center.
Looking at the back of Arthur and Lucia leaving, Aunt Lucy smiled and shook her head. The BBQ restaurant!"
Just when she turned around and was about to clean up the table, she was slightly taken aback, and suddenly found a stack of Baileys on Arthur's seat, about half a million!
――――
Under the leadership of Lucia, the two bought a lot of fish-man island features in the shopping mall, and then went to visit Geelong Cord Plaza, Coral Hill, Mermaid Bay, Fish People Cultural Hall, etc. Famous fish-man island location.
"Where is it?" On the way, Arthur pointed to a place that looked very shabby and asked inexplicably.
"It's Murloc Street!" Lucia introduced, "It's a large place for orphans, but because of poor management, it has become a gathering place for illegal groups! But there are many famous people on Murloc Island who came from there. Like Fisher Tiger, and even Spire!"
"Oh!?" Arthur's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he said with great interest, "Let's go there and see!"
"Arthur, the security there is not very good!" Lucia said with a frown.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Arthur touched Lucia's hair and smiled.
Immediately, Lucia didn't bother to persuade her, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded.
