1801 [Side Story] King of fish

(I've changed it three times in the previous chapter, but it's still blocked. I've been rejected every time. The most troublesome thing is that I have to wait 48 hours every time I apply for the ban to be lifted. Go to the public account and take a look.)

It wasn't embarrassing to take advantage of a clearance sale, but who wouldn't want to take advantage of it? As long as it was a real clearance sale and not a promotion under the name of clearance, or if the items themselves had hidden dangers, or if you didn't know much about the items, you would feel that it was a loss if you didn't take advantage of the clearance sale.

The last time there was an aquarium clearance sale, welder Zhao had gone overnight to pick up some cheap goods, and he had almost made a mistake. After all, there were as many water creatures as there was a sea, and welder Zhao was only a dabbler. But this time, it was only a clearance sale for frozen imported seafood. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have anything to do with welder Zhao's illness, right? Imported seafood would at most be frozen in the warehouse for too long and not fresh anymore. It would lose its taste and upset the stomach. What else could it do?

"Old Zhao even dragged me along that time, saying that he would be a bastard if I didn't take advantage of him ... I didn't want to go at first, not because of anything else, but because I was worried that the imported seafood would be contaminated with germs like other places. It's fine if I fell for it, but I don't want to teach it to my entire family. He said that we'll wear masks and disposable gloves, and after picking out the items, we'll take off the packaging on the spot and throw it away. We'll scan the code on WeChat to pay, and after we're done, we'll throw the masks and gloves into the trash can. What could happen?"

Electrician Wu locked the car in the car shed downstairs and went upstairs with Zhang Zian.

"I'm stupid. I can't reason with him. After a long time, I was convinced by him ... And I have to keep an eye on him to see if he's really wearing a mask and gloves as he said, and if he's reluctant to throw them away after buying them."

Zhang Zian smiled."You're very thoughtful. What happened after that?"

"Then, I went with him. We didn't go to the seafood market, but to a cold storage warehouse near the market. When we arrived, we weren't the only ones who came to take advantage of the situation. A few of old Zhao's fish friends were also there. He heard the news from his fish friends. The seafood seller held a two-dimensional code. Whoever picked something, they would haggle on the spot. If they could accept it, they would take it on the spot. I looked at it for a while, and the price was indeed very cheap, too cheap. It's not half price, it's a bone fracture!"

Halfway up the stairs, electrician Wu paused in the corridor. It was as if he was taking a breath, but also as if he was too embarrassed to let his family hear what he was about to say.

"To be honest, manager Zhang, I was also tempted at that time. I was envious of others taking advantage of me. Old Zhao hadn't even made a move, and I had already grabbed two big lobsters! It's as long as my arm, and the widest part of its head is as thick as my thigh! The seafood seller said it was the King of Australia lobster. I don't know if it's true, but it's really big!" Electrician Wu's eyes lit up as he measured the size of the lobster.

Zhang Zian nodded."Probably. Such a big lobster should be expensive."

"Can you guess how much a lobster this big costs?" Electrician Wu excitedly pointed out two fingers."I tried my best to haggle for a long time, and in the end, we agreed that it was two hundred Yuan each!"

Zhang Zian gave her a thumbs up."We've earned a lot. Such a big lobster, you can't even buy it with 2000 Yuan."

Electrician Wu was happy for the first time today, but he immediately sighed in embarrassment."After that, I brought the lobsters home. To show off and save face, I didn't tell my family that I bought them at a cheap price while they were clearing their warehouses. I told them that a child I used to take care of in the factory is now successful and a leader. He came to visit me and gave it to me ..."

Zhang Zian could understand. Who didn't want face?

Who lived in a vacuum and didn't care about the eyes of their family and the people around them? Who wouldn't want their family to treat them as an important person? Especially for these old people, who had a declining family status, they didn't want their families to treat them as useless trash.

" That day, my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were so happy that they took pictures of the lobster and posted them on their social media. My wife, in particular, nagged for a long time about how big the lobster was, as if it had turned into a spirit ... They couldn't bear to eat it. They said that they would freeze the lobster and eat it during the new year or when there were important guests at home. I said that there wasn't enough space in the refrigerator and that they would eat it today. I also asked my daughter-in-law to call her parents over and make a few more dishes. The two families ate together that day, and they were as happy as if it was the new year. Everyone said that it was all because of me, or they would never have been able to eat such a big lobster in their lives ..."

Electrician Wu recalled what had happened that day. He felt like he had become a few years younger, and his back was straight. After all, it was a rare moment of glory for him at home after his retirement. He had once again enjoyed the feeling of being the head of the family.

"Then ... What did master Zhao buy? It's also a lobster? " Zhang Zian asked.

Electrician Wu smacked his forehead and said in frustration,"“嗐! Where did I go? I'm old. I was talking about old Zhao, but I'm getting off topic ... I found these two lobsters in the corner of the cold storage warehouse. I told old Zhao that the crabs there are quite big. Why don't you buy some? Old Zhao rolled his eyes. He laughed at me for being ignorant. He said that things like crabs and lobsters with shells are not worth the price. If you remove the shells from the bigger ones, there's only a few taels of meat inside. He wouldn't take them for free because he thought it was too troublesome to shell them. In the end, he bought a lot of fish back, saying that they were all wild and frozen, like Pomfret and whatnot ... I can't name the fish, but I remember him saying,'cherry blossoms are King, fish ...' What was in the fish again?"

"Sakura in flower is the king, and snapper is the king. The other species he bought is the red snapper, right? It's one of the best saltwater fish. If it's imported, it should be from Japan. Old Zhao knows his stuff. " Zhang Zian added.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the name!" Electrician Wu nodded his head.

"I say, Master Wu, if there's such a good thing next time, remember to call me along. I want to take advantage of it too." Zhang Zian also wanted to show off in front of the Elfins, especially fina, who always had misunderstandings about who the head of the Pet Shop was.

"I thought you young people were all prideful and didn't care for these cheap things!"

As they spoke, they came to welder Zhao's house. Probably because there were a lot of visitors these two days, the door wasn't locked, and it was left unlocked.

Electrician Wu and welder Zhao's families were the same. He didn't knock and just pushed the door open.

This was not the first time Zhang Zian had come to welder Zhao's house. He had seen his family members. At that time, his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and even his in-laws were all sitting in the living room. The TV was on, but no one was watching it.

When they saw Zhang Zian, they felt that he looked familiar. When they saw him carrying a fruit basket and milk, they knew that he was here to visit. They quickly wiped the corners of their eyes and stood up to welcome him.
