Chapter Eighty-Four: Buying King Crab
Gift Street.
Li Ming found a shop that sold king crab and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the large fish tanks on both sides were all full of king crabs, and there were hundreds of them.
The shopkeeper had just sent off a customer, and when he turned around and saw that Li Ming was choosing, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Sir, which crab do you want to buy?" ”
Li Ming didn't know anything about king crabs, and asked while looking at them, "What kind of species is your king crab here?" ”
Hearing this, a proud expression appeared on the boss's face, and he said: "My king crabs are all flown from Alaska, this gentleman, you are a coincidence, this crab has just gotten off the plane for less than three hours, and now is the freshest time." ”
When the boss saw Li Ming wearing a brand-new Versace, he knew that this was a rich man, so he was extra attentive.
"How much is a pound." Li Ming asked.
"260 yuan." The boss said.
Li Ming nodded, carefully picked in the fish tank, and finally pointed to the largest crab and said, "I'll pick this one out." ”
"Okay, I'll show it to you." As he spoke, the boss immediately took out the net pocket and grabbed the king crab that Li Ming pointed to.
On the scale, the boss said, "It's exactly ten catties." ”
Looking at this crab, Li Ming felt that such a big crab might not be able to eat it himself, but when he thought that this was the first time he had eaten at his mother-in-law's house in the future, he couldn't buy less gifts, and thought that there were four people including Li Xue's parents.
Li Ming said, "Bring me five more crabs like this." "Although I know that everyone can't eat it, it's always good to buy more, at least it's not good-looking.
When the boss who was tying the crab claws heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Wait a minute, I'll catch you." ”
Unexpectedly, I met a big customer who actually bought six ten-pound crabs in one go, which is more than 10,000 yuan.
……
Ten minutes later, with the help of the shopkeeper, Li Ming placed six foam boxes containing king crab into the trunk of the Bentley.
In the shopkeeper's courteous farewell, Li Ming drove back.
On the way, Li Ming saw that there were people selling champagne imported from France, and when he thought of having an official meal with Li Xue's family for the first time today, Li Ming bought two bottles of Remy Martin.
Since the last time Liang Weidong invited himself to drink expensive champagne, Li Ming has liked the taste of this wine, although two bottles of wine cost Li Ming 100,000 yuan, but now Li Ming, who is rich, doesn't care at all.
After feeling that these things were enough, Li Ming drove back to the supermarket.
As soon as he returned to the door of the supermarket, Li Ming saw Li Xue wrapping zongzi with a focused face, and her serious little appearance was very cute.
Stepping out of the car, Li Ming said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, is it finished?" ”
Li Xue looked up and found that Li Ming was back, her fair little face smiled, and she said happily: "Come on, Brother Li Ming, you can sit in the room first." ”
It just so happened that Li Xue's mother had just come back from delivering a drawer of zongzi, and when she saw Li Ming, she immediately said enthusiastically: "I'm back, come into the house and sit down, the zongzi will be fine immediately." ”
Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go in." As he spoke, Li Ming opened the trunk and moved the foam boxes one by one.
Li Xue asked curiously, "Brother Li Ming, what are you doing here?" ”
"I bought some crabs and came back." Li Ming said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Ming was about to move into the kitchen, Lu Yuping hurriedly said: "Oh Li Ming, Auntie invited you to dinner, why are you still buying things." ”
Li Ming said with a smile: "I heard from a friend a while ago that this crab is good, I'll buy it back and let's try it." ”
Li Xue knew that none of the things Li Ming bought were cheap, so she opened one of the foam boxes curiously.
King crab Li Xue hasn't seen it yet, opened the foam box and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, what kind of crab is this, why is it so big." ”
Hearing Li Xue's words, Lu Yuping and Li Xue's father Li Chongming also walked over, looked into the box, and saw that the foam box contained a crab that was much larger than a basin.
The two looked at each other in surprise, looked at each other and said, "What crab, so big." ”
Li Ming said with a smile: "King crab, produced in Alaska, has just been flown over. ”
Most people have heard of king crab, but not many people have seen the real thing, because this thing has not yet become popular in China.
Lu Yuping always listened to her cousin in Japan show off how delicious and expensive Japan's king crab is, and she usually envied it in her heart, but she didn't think that she would have the opportunity to eat this kind of crab today, and said happily: "Oh, this thing is very expensive." ”
"It's okay, about 260 a catty." Li Ming said with a smile.
Lu Yuping lifted a foam box with both hands to feel the weight, with a surprised expression on her face, and said, "Such a crab weighs ten catties." ”
Li Ming nodded and said, "Well, the six I chose are basically ten pounds. ”
Li Xue's family was speechless, one catty is two hundred and six, ten catties is two thousand six, and six ten-pound crabs are more than 15,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Ming was so willing to spend money, Lu Yuping's face was already flushed with excitement, and she said happily: "It's too expensive." ”
Li Ming said with a smile: "What kind of price is this." As he spoke, Li Ming walked into the kitchen with the box in his arms.
Originally, Li Chongming was not very satisfied with Li Xue and Li Ming together, after all, Li Ming was nearly ten years older than Li Xue.
But now that he sees Li Ming flattering them so much, he no longer resists Li Ming so much in his heart, after all, when he thinks of Lu Yuping's big cousin who loves to show off, Li Chongming also feels a pang of annoyance in his heart.
Lu Yuping glanced at Li Chongming proudly, and said that I didn't choose the wrong son-in-law, and then said to Lu Xue: "Xiaoxue, go and help you Brother Li Ming cook crabs." ”
Li Xue was playing with a big crab, and when she heard her mother's words, she immediately stood up and made a military salute, and said happily: "Yes, I'll go now." ”
As he spoke, he ran to the kitchen with a foam box.
After Li Ming moved all the crabs into the kitchen, he took out a steamer from the cabinet, poured water, and prepared to put the crabs in it.
Li Ming said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, hand me the crab." ”
Although Li Xue dared to touch the crab shell with her hands, but asked Li Xue to catch the crab, Li Xue didn't dare at all, hearing Li Ming's words, her little face shook vigorously, and said cutely: "I don't dare~." ”
Seeing Li Xue's scared expression, Li Ming walked over with a smile, put his hand on the crab's navel, easily grabbed the crab, and then put it in the steamer.
Li Xue looked at Li Ming's "mighty" movements in surprise on the side, and said with a small face of adoration: "Brother Li Ming, you are so powerful." ”
Li Ming smiled proudly and said, "Of course. ”
