The boss wrapped the octopus with a clean white towel and patted it a few times to absorb the water. Then, he straightened the octopus's legs and placed it on the chopping board. With a few swings of the knife, the octopus's legs were cut into small pieces and the head was thrown away.
"It's still moving."
Li Xu looked at the octopus that was sucking on his arm and saw it turned into small pieces under the boss's knife. He already knew what he was going to face. But he had been in Korea for a few years and had only been to the seafood market a few times, let alone such a fierce way of eating.
The boss placed the cut octopus into a paper box, poured sesame oil, sprinkled sesame seeds and onions, and handed it to Zhao Enjing.
Zhao Enjing smiled and handed the box to Li Xu: "Try it."
The octopus's legs covered in sesame oil and sesame seeds kept wriggling in the paper box. Li Xu's scalp went numb. As a Sichuan person, he had never seen such a scene.
Li Xu's face turned ugly. He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't eat things that move."
He turned his head and said: "Never."
Li Ge took the box and put a piece of the octopus's wriggling leg into his mouth. He glanced at Li Xu.
Trash! I don't even dare to eat octopus. Look at me, how manly am I!
Lin Yuqing and Zhao Enjing also took a box of octopus and started to share it as if it was really delicious.
Seeing Li Jiu watching them eat the octopus as if he was looking at a heretic, Lin Yuqing pinched a section of the octopus leg and put it next to Li Jiu's mouth.
"Open your mouth."
"I don't want to."
"Hurry up, the sesame oil is going to get on your clothes."
Li Xu was helpless. He opened his mouth and bit the wriggling leg. He looked like he wanted to bite down but did not dare to.
Li Xu felt like he was biting a piece of sh * t flavored chocolate.
Seeing the three of them looking at him like they were watching a show, Li Xu made up his mind and bit down with all his might. The octopus in his mouth was bitten off, and the suckers attached to Li Xu's teeth were still twisting. It felt like they were drilling in and out of his mouth.
Li Xu chewed with all his might, wanting to end this experience as soon as possible. The octopus foot was very chewy, mixed with sesame oil, sesame, and scallion, giving off a peculiar taste.
Chewing, chewing, and swallowing, Li Xu had a feeling of wanting more.
Huh? Not shit-flavored chocolate.
This was chocolate-flavored chocolate.
He smacked his lips and said, "How fragrant."
However, when he saw the three of them staring at him, Li Xu said very naturally, "The fragrance oil used by this shop owner is really fragrant."
"Do you want more?" Li Ge handed over the box containing the octopus.
Li Xu waved his hand and said seriously, "I told you, I don't eat things that move."
Zhao Enjing chose another fish and asked the shop owner to slice it directly. She looked like she was eating sashimi.
Li Xu couldn't take it anymore. "That, Miss Enjing, is there a slightly more normal way to eat? The kind that at least goes through a fire. "
Zhao Enjing smiled and pointed at the wriggling eels in the water tank. "Of course there is. This is the one. There is a restaurant on the second floor that can process it."
Li Xu took a closer look. Damn! These eels were really ugly. The mucus on their bodies looked really disgusting.
"Can this thing be eaten?" Li Xu whispered to Li Ge.
Li Ge gave him face and whispered back, "Of course, this is a blind eel. It's very delicious. I've eaten grilled eels in Seoul before, but I heard that Busan's is more famous."
Zhao Enjing and Lin Yuqing chose some seafood. "Boss, help us pack these up."
Li Ge took the bags from the shop owner, and the four of them rushed to the second floor of the market building.
The second floor was much quieter than the first floor. It did not have the noisy atmosphere of the market. Small yellow tables were arranged in an orderly manner. Brother Li handed the ingredients in his hands to the staff to process. The four of them were just enough to sit around a table.
10 minutes later, Li Xu bit into a piece of spicy grilled eel. He was touched. This ugly thing is so delicious. You can't judge a book by its cover.
Hmmm … … I am a traditional Chinese, and I am more suited to eat processed food.
Of course, Li Jiu did not know that some of the Chinese coastal areas ate much more seafood than the Koreans.
After eating and drinking, the four of them were satisfied with this seafood feast.
"After eating, are we going back to the hotel?"
"Of course not. Do you think this is a place to eat?"
Li Xu was puzzled. Of course, I know this is a place to buy groceries!
Zhao Enjing was like a local tyrant. She brought the three of them to the top floor of the market building.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful! "
Lin Yuqing exclaimed softly. Li Ge and Li Xu were also shocked. Who would expect the top floor of a market building to be so beautiful?
This was an open-air platform. One side could see the harbor, and the other side could see the buildings on the hill and the scenery of the city.
Because of the unique seagull design on the top of the market building, the top floor was not very spacious.
The aisle was about 4 meters wide, and it was covered with beautiful terracotta tiles. There were delicate fences on both sides of the aisle to separate the two sides of the aisle into a ribbon garden. Because of the season, the garden was only green. But it was imaginable that when the flowers bloom, it would be dazzling.
There was a wooden bench a few meters away from the aisle. Beside the bench was a red mailbox, and there was a small sign beside the mailbox.
On the seagull's head, there were a few big binoculars. From the binoculars, one could see the harbor.
Li Xu moved closer to the binoculars and looked at the sea. The sea breeze blew gently, and the seagulls flew in the air again and again. The sky was already dark. It was not as blue as they had imagined.
The sea was dotted with fishing boats. The white masts were an indispensable part of the harbor's scenery. The Shadow Island Bridge had been raised, opening up a waterway for passing boats.
This unique bridge that could be opened and closed was a unique sight in Busan. However, labeling this bridge as a "scenic spot" would be too frivolous.
During the 625 War, when a large number of refugees came south to Busan to avoid the war, there was a common saying: If you were separated from your family, you should meet up at the Shadow Island Bridge.
So this "Ethnic Bridge", which was a symbol of sorrow, gradually became the last hope of reuniting with lost family members.
Lin Yuqing and Zhao Enjing sat on the bench and whispered something.
Li Xu and Li Ge put down the binoculars in their hands and moved closer.
"What are you talking about?"
"There!" Zhao Enjing pointed at the mailbox next to them.
There was a small sign next to the mailbox that said: "Sending blessings to the person you miss."
Li Xu was surprised. "This thing can be used? Isn't it just for decoration? "
Zhao Enjing said, "No, it's a red mailbox. You can write the most romantic words or the most sincere blessings to the person you love and mail it out from here."
Li Xu said regretfully, "But we don't have any postcards. Next time we come, we can bring a few."
Zhao Enjing moved closer. "Who do you want to send it to?"
Li Xu glanced at Li Ge, who was deep in thought. "You should ask him who he wants to send it to."
