Chapter 596 (1/2)

“Why exactly did I say that I’m a veteran?” Wu Jun gave himself a slap in the face ruefully while calling somebody up with a bitter look.

Yuan Zhou didn’t approach him, but instead wandered around that place.

Apart from the tuna, there were other kinds of fish that were suitable to make the sashimi. For example, the puffers. From ancient to modern times, quite a lot of people died from its poison just for tasting a mouthful of puffer.

Even Su Dongpo, a literary giant and also a foodie who supported an entire regional cuisines, can’t refuse such a delicacy.

“Is this for sale?” There were really puffers sold at the Tsukiji Market. Yuan Zhou hadn’t walked too far away when he saw a dealer. Then he directly asked.

This person was dressed in a dark blue cotton-padded jacket. His fingers were probably soaked in the water for too long and hence turned whiter. On hearing Yuan Zhou’s words, he raised his head and had a look at Yuan Zhou.

Having spoken something in Japanese for a while, he found Yuan Zhou had no reaction at all. Only then did he waved his hand to Yuan Zhou, indicating that it wasn’t for sale.

Yuan Zhou didn’t give up, but continued visiting another three dealers consecutively. However, everyone looked at Yuan Zhou and waved his hand, all indicating that it wasn’t for sale.

“As expected, they don’t sell the fishes to the individual buyer.” Yuan Zhou stroked his own front angle and affirmed his own thoughts.

One hour later.

“Ta Ta Ta”. Yuan Zhou returned leisurely to the place where he parted with Wu Jun just now and then started to wait for Wu Jun.

He didn’t wait for too long before Wu Jun came back.

However, Wu Jun had lost the strength to be talkative by now. On seeing Yuan Zhou, he directly made a gesture of “Okay” to show that he had completed the task.

“Thank you. Veterans are really impressive.” When Yuan Zhou complimented others, his expression remained unchanged. So did the way he spoke.

“I regret for saying that I’m a veteran.” Wu Jun led the way for Yuan Zhou and walked outwards weakly.

“Um. Never mind. I won’t mind.” Yuan Zhou revealed a manner of “I don’t blame you”, which made Wu Jun felt more aching in his stomach.

“Speaking of which, how many times did I exactly say that to such an extent as to make you remember so clearly?” Wu Jun got puzzled and then said with a slightly complaining manner.

“Quite a lot of times.” Yuan Zhou said positively without even blinking.

“Alright. It’s done. The fish is 80.2 kilograms heavy and 2 meters long from the head to the tail. It costs 168,000 RMB in all. And the booth has also been rented, of course only for one day. It’s in the outer zone. Tomorrow I will take you there.” Wu Jun recovered from the astonishment and started to talk about the fish.

“The tuna will be sent to the booth directly.” Wu Jun added.

“Thank you.” This time, Yuan Zhou thanked him very sincerely.

“Don’t mention it. Just remember my fish belly. Don’t forget it. I will not pay.” Wu Hai shook his head and meanwhile, he didn’t forget his own reward.

“Of course. You wait and see.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head confidently.

“Leaving other things aside, did you buy a kitchen knife? A new knife has some underlying offensive taste.” Wu Jun asked curiously.

“I almost forget it if you don’t mention it. But now I suddenly have a bold idea.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

“A bold idea? What is it?” Wu Jun had a feeling that he was about to be trapped, but he still couldn’t help asking that curiously. Right after that, he covered his mouth immediately. However, it was late. Yuan Zhou had started to say something.

“This idea is actually very simple. I need the best mineral water that we can buy on the market. The only requirement is that it must be free from any taste. Veteran, I count on you.” Yuan Zhou brought out his own requirement straightforwardly.

“Damn it! This f*cking mouth. Why did I ask?” Wu Jun gave himself a heavy slap in the face.

“It’s 10:00 a.m. now. I think you can buy it before 5:00 p.m., can’t you?” Though Yuan Zhou’s tone of voice was interrogative, his attitude indicated there was no problem for this veteran to do it.

“I feel it’s the most expensive fish belly of the tuna throughout the history. Besides, it’s the most tiring to eat it.” Wu Jun nodded his head and complained.

“And it will be the most delicious.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

“Okay. Shall I send it to your room?” Wu Jun asked.
