After walking for so long, Xia Qiuyu was indeed tired. Xu Yun asked her to sit down at a seafood barbecue restaurant.
The hot weather had just been washed away by a drizzle. At this time, the best thing to do was to find a seafood stall and order two extra large cups of draft beer, a few oysters and scallops, stir-fry the clams with chili, grill a few skewers of Marburg fish, and 2 catties of grilled lamb chops.
That would definitely be a top-notch enjoyment.
If they had the money, they could also get a 2 catties of Australian lobster and steam it. Then, they could also get 2 fresh Irish golden crabs. Paired with the fresh abalones from Hua Xia, it would definitely be a sumptuous and nutritious meal.
If such a feast was placed in a five-star hotel, it would cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. But if it was placed in a food stall, 1,000 yuan would be enough to fill both of them to death.
This was Xu Yun's first time treating Xia Qiuyu to a meal. Naturally, he would not hesitate. Although both of them had eaten a lot of snacks along the way, Xu Yun still ordered lobster, crab, abalones, clams, and other classic seafood dishes.
As for the barbecue skewers, they did not have such a big stomach to eat so many oily things.
The food stall was indeed cheap. Xu Yun ordered 4 items and a 5 catty bucket of draft beer, and it only cost him 310 yuan. This made Xu Yun feel that it was unbelievably cheap.
Xu Yun handed the stall owner 400 yuan. The stall owner gave him the change, and Xu Yun casually counted 80 yuan.
"Boss, you got the wrong change." Xu Yun casually said. When the stall owner heard it, he took the money from Xu Yun's hand and counted it in front of him.
One 20 yuan note and six 10 yuan notes.
"Sorry, I was too busy and did not notice it." The stall owner smiled embarrassedly and took out another 10 yuan note and gave it to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Being busy means that business is good. Our country's leaders are leading the world. Naturally, there will be things for the common people to do. Don't give the wrong money again. If you give the wrong money to someone else, wouldn't you have worked hard for nothing tonight?"
"Who wouldn't say that? I really have to be more careful." The boss laughed. "Wait a moment, I'll serve it to you right away."
Xu Yun went to find Xia Qiuyu and sat down. The draft beer was quickly served, and the two of them drank happily.
"Perhaps this feeling can only be found in Hua Xia." Looking at the endless stream of people on the street, Xia Qiuyu sighed, "Even if there's a place like this overseas, it's not as lively as this."
Xu Yun: "That's a must. Only Hua Xia can do this kind of food culture that combines shops and street stalls."
Xia Qiuyu said, "That is indeed the case."
"If it weren't for the fact that the city management team stopped idling these years, the street stalls would be even scarier," Xu Yun said, "But if it isn't monitored, the city's hygiene will be even harder to control."
"That's why the existence of the street stalls is still very necessary," Xia Qiuyu said. "It can pass down this kind of food culture and ensure the city's hygiene."
At this time, the seafood Xu Yun ordered was served. Xu Yun couldn't wait to drink another glass of beer. "Let's not stand on ceremony, let's eat!"
Xia Qiuyu also drank a glass of beer. Like Xu Yun, she directly grabbed the food and started eating. Eating this kind of food meant that one had to be open-minded. If one pretended to be a gentleman and acted elegant, it wouldn't be suitable for food stalls.
After a fierce meal, Xu Yun felt very comfortable. He hadn't eaten so well in a long time. After drinking a few glasses of beer, Xu Yun started to feel like he was floating.
"Comfortable." Xu Yun chuckled.
"You don't look like you're full yet," Xia Qiuyu said. "Do you want something else?"
Xu Yun looked at the next table. The grilled oysters were also very tempting. "How about a few more garlic oysters?"
"Sure, you can eat," Xia Qiuyu said. "I'm full."
Xu Yun was also polite. "I want a few more. Let's eat together."
"That's for men. I'll pass." Xia Qiuyu waved her hand and shook her head.
"Oysters are divided into men and women?" Xu Yun was confused. "It's the same no matter who eats it, right?"
"Oysters are a man's tonic," Xia Qiuyu said. Xia Qiuyu said, "I've seen it in a Chinese medicine book before, so you should eat it yourself."
Xu Yun laughed dryly. "What prescription did you read? It must be that oysters are a man's tonic, right? That's right. There is such a prescription. Eat two oysters a day for a month. But that's because oysters are rich in zinc, amino acids, and selenium. These elements are not only helpful for men, but also for women. "
Xia Qiuyu was skeptical. "Is that so?"
"Do you know that oysters contain a lot of lead that most people lack?" Xu Yun was serious, but he wasn't talking nonsense. What he said was the truth. "Therefore, eating more oysters can prevent skin from drying out. It can also promote the metabolism of the skin and break down the melanin under the skin, producing white and tender skin."
Xia Qiuyu laughed. "According to what you said, eating oysters can make people white."
"It's true. I'm not joking," Xu Yun said.
Xia Qiuyu thought for a while. "Okay, then I'll try two. It's really my first time eating oysters. I've never eaten oysters before. "
"Oysters are rich in meat, and it's fresh, sweet, and juicy. I guarantee that you'll love it after eating it once." Xu Yun said and stood up.
The oysters here were really cheap. Ten yuan for three!
Xu Yun didn't even think and asked the boss for fifty yuan.
When he took out the money to pay, Xu Yun was stunned for a moment. Just now, the boss said that it was 310 yuan. When he gave him the change, he gave him the wrong change and only gave him 80 yuan. After he noticed, the boss gave him another 10 yuan.
Logically speaking, he should have ninety yuan at this time.
But now, he only had seventy yuan, and the twenty yuan note was gone.
Soon, Xu Yun understood that this was a common tactic used by small vendors. They would first give you ten yuan less, and when you noticed it, they would take the money back to confirm it. After confirming it, they would give you more money, but at the same time, they would take more from you.
This kind of thing was common in many places, but Xu Yun really didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to encounter it.
"Boss, here's the money." Xu Yun said and handed the thirty yuan to the stall owner.
The stall owner took the money and was startled. "Didn't you want fifteen? Fifty. "
"I know it's fifty." Xu Yun smiled. "But you just took twenty from me, so I'll only give you thirty."
How could the stall owner admit it? He didn't care about Xu Yun's words. "Friend, I'll give you nine for thirty. Go back and wait."
"Fifteen. I can't miss even one." Xu Yun was also a stubborn person. If the price was higher, he wouldn't mind. But if the price was low, Xu Yun couldn't accept it.
People who opened businesses valued integrity. If they didn't even have the most basic integrity, then they might as well close down and go home.
The stall owner didn't have any intention of paying attention to Xu Yun.
To him, Xu Yun was just an outsider. He didn't need to pay attention to an outsider.
Ten minutes later, nine oysters were placed in front of Xu Yun.
Xu Yun slammed the table. Xia Qiuyu signaled him to calm down and asked him what happened. Xu Yun told Xia Qiuyu what happened.
Xia Qiuyu didn't care too much about it. "Then just treat it as feeding the dog twenty yuan. There's no need to bicker with them."
"This isn't a matter of bickering or not. It's because of the compromise of the tourists that so many unscrupulous vendors started to rip off the tourists." Xu Yun: "This isn't a matter of money. I really don't care about twenty yuan. I wouldn't even care if it was two or three hundred, but I definitely can't forgive this."
