Chapter 602

With a balding head, the boss of the seafood-rice store was dressed in a traditional kimono . He revealed an amiable smile and took Wu Jun’s hands, not letting him go .

“Don’t leave . Please continue tomorrow . No money, no money needed . ” The boss kept repeating these few words in a weird and uncomfortable way .

“I’m sorry . It’s the chef who makes the decision, not me . ” Wu Jun shrugged and said helplessly .

“Fish . I still have the fish . Do you want it?” The boss knitted his brows and thought for quite a while . He thought Wu Jun was saying that he didn’t have more fish and thus he immediately patted on his own chest and guaranteed loudly .

“No, no need . We are not coming tomorrow . Maybe next time . ” Wu Jun waved his hand right away and indicated that it wasn’t necessary .

“What if there’s no charge?” The boss still said persistently .

“No need, really . ” Wu Jun refused continuously .

Seeing Wu Jun reveal a resolute look and did not seem to be joking, the boss could do nothing but sigh . Then he returned to his own store .

“Hoo… It is lucky that the boss doesn’t speak Chinese well . Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble . ” Wu Jun let out a sigh of relief .

He was right . If the boss of the seafood-rice store spoke very good Chinese, he probably wouldn’t let go of Wu Jun .

After all, who would find fault with money? Even Yuan Zhou wouldn’t . Look, wasn’t he still holding back and listening to others speak awkward Chinese .

“Sir, can you sell the fish to me?” This person wore a formal suit and a black overcoat outside . Even though he was speaking Chinese, he carried a heavy Japanese accent .

“There’s only half a fish left . ” Yuan Zhou said lightly .

“Never mind . We only want this half of the fish . ” The man said firmly .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything .

“I’m so sorry . I was too anxious . Conventionally, I should make a self-introduction first . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou giving no reactions, the person thought it was because of his discourtesy . Immediately, he bowed to apologize and then started to introduce himself .

“My name is Songxia Mingzhi, the boss of Fish . Fish is a sushi shop and it’s right at the front . You can see it very clearly . ” While saying that, the person pointed at a large obvious shop sign in the front .

“I’ve just eaten a plate of fish slices prepared by you . It is really delicious . I hope you can sell this half of the bluefin tuna to me . ” Songxia Mingzhi first praised Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills and then declared his own purpose .

Actually, many people were thinking of getting this fish . After all, Yuan Zhou was a newcomer and was also a Chinese . No one would say anything if he only came once or twice . But if he planned to stay here for long, the nearby stores wouldn’t feel happy .

And it was the best method to buy this fish . One was for the advertising hook and next, one could increase the fame of one’s own store by doing that .

Therefore, Songxia Mingzhi spoke with Yuan Zhou loudly and straightforwardly just to express his intentions of buying it . Any others that wanted to buy the fish had to wait until he finished . Of course, those onlookers were also clear about that . After all, they were also very curious about whom the fish would belong to .

“Okay . How much are you offering?” Yuan Zhou asked decisively .

“Tell me your price first and then we can discuss,” said Songxia Mingzhi, who appeared amiable but was actually very shrewd .

“Mr . Songxia, since you wanna buy from me, you must offer your price first . If you have no price, please let the next one come to talk with us . ” Wu Hai straightforwardly chimed in .

Yuan Zhou didn’t contradict Wu Hai, but just looked at Songxia Mingzhi in silence .

In Yuan Zhou’s opinion, he had no reason to keep the fish as he was unlikely to take it back home . However, he was reluctant to say more for just half a fish .

Songxia Mingzhi became a little hesitant . He didn’t answer immediately . Presumably, he was observing Yuan Zhou’s attitude .

“Tell me your price . If it’s not good, then next one . ” Yuan Zhou said coldly but straightforwardly .

“What about JPY 3,300,000?” Songxia Mingzhi looked at other potential buyers behind and the curious onlookers and then made the decision .

Then, he directly brought out a price that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t refuse .

“Well, okay . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Wait . ” Wu Hai suddenly stopped Yuan Zhou .

“What wrong?” Yuan Zhou followed Wu Hai and took a few steps backward before he said .

“Let Zheng Jiawei go receive the 3 million JPY . After all, you don’t have an overseas bank account nor can you take such a huge sum back in cash . ” The way that Wu Hai talked to Yuan Zhou was quite gentle .

After all, his stomach was still controlled by Yuan Zhou .

As for moral integrity, Wu Hai just didn’t give a damn . Was that edible?

“Thank you . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then thanked him .

“You are welcome . As long as you don’t take too many days off . ” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou with a sorrowful look on his face .

“That depends . ” Yuan Zhou said earnestly .

“No, no, no . Nothing matters except studying culinary skills . ” Wu Hai walked behind Yuan Zhou and tried to persuade him .

“Please wire transfer your money into this sir’s account . ” Yuan Zhou directly ignored Wu Hai’s words and then said to Songxia Mingzhi .

“Okay, sir . Please follow me . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou say so, Songxia Mingzhi suddenly became relieved and then said courteously to Zheng Jiawei at the side .

The onlookers and other people who wanted to buy the fish dispersed slowly when they found that the remaining half of the fish belonged to this person .

It suddenly fell silent, leaving only Yuan Zhou, Wu Jun and Wu Hai on site . The boss of the seafood-rice store went back to his store bitterly while Zheng Jiawei followed Songxia Mingzhi into the store to make the trade .

“I have decided to treat you to a plate of the fish slices . ” Yuan Zhou said to Wu Hai suddenly .

“Ah?” Wu Hai didn’t react for while as Yuan Zhou took out a piece of meat from the tuna and started to cut it at the other side .

This time, Yuan Zhou directly opened the metal box that he brought with him and took out the last knife inside .

“Duo Duo Duo” . The knife gently struck against the fish and the azure stone countertop, emitting a wonderful musical note .

Yuan Zhou first sliced and then shredded the tuna . He just processed the fish calmly and steadily while turning a deaf ear to Wu Hai’s mumbling .

Not until Yuan Zhou took out a small bag of green flowers did Wu Jun opened his mouth .

“No wonder you asked me to buy the flowers! It’s actually used for eating . ” Wu Jun was suddenly enlightened .

“Are these all for me to eat?” Wu Hai said excitedly .

However, Yuan Zhou answered neither of the two questions .

Yuan Zhou no longer made the fish flesh into clusters this time, but just stacked it in two plates loosely .

Even so, the appearance of the dish still whetted others’ appetite .

The meat of the bluefin tuna appeared light red and the white fat texture were distributed neatly . It was cut into shreds sideways by Yuan Zhou along with the golden slices of orange shreds; then, mixed up with green flowers and purple leaves of purple perilla .

These were all shredded into stripes . Blended together, they were just like an exquisite and elaborate fine food, but appeared brighter .

“Are these two plates all for me?” Wu Hai didn’t even have the time to stroke his own mustaches and couldn’t wait to move them close to himself .

“Only one plate . ” Yuan Zhou also moved quickly . He covered one plate and instantly picked up the chopsticks to eat .

“Never mind . One plate is better than none . It is the first time that Boss Yuan treated someone proactively . Oh, I feel inspiration coming . I must draw some pictures to calm down after I go back . ” Wu Hai carried the plate, feeling touched .

What a joke! It was the very first time for Yuan Zhou to treat someone proactively . After all, he had truly wanted Yuan Zhou to treat him before but never succeeded . For Wu Hai, this event was indeed commemorable .

Seriously speaking, Wu Hai was so touched that he almost cried .
