In the evening, the outside temperature in Miami begins to drop, but because of its proximity to the ocean, the temperature drops slowly, giving you a sense of the warmth of a coastal city.

At this time, the seafood restaurants are not busy, the busiest are in the morning and afternoon, when the chefs of each hotel come to check the color of the seafood for purchasing, and during lunch and dinner, it is the turn of the restaurants and hotels to be busy, and the seafood shops are naturally crowded.

Of course, business is still good, and many tourists who come to Miami will come to the seafood shop to buy some ingredients, and then go to the outside restaurant to do the processing.

Butler is very capable, the fame of Daqin brand seafood has been played, and to be honest, the seafood from Daqin Fishery tastes really extraordinary, so even if the price is much higher than the market price of the same kind, there are still many people who favor the seafood here.

This has to do with the American concept of consumption, as long as the money in hand allows, then they will eat the best, not the most cheap.

When Qin Shiou went downstairs, he saw that there were still a few tourists dressed as tourists watching seafood under the guidance of a shopping guide, and Butler introduced him: "We are mainly engaged in the business of high-end restaurants and hotels, and most of the scattered purchases are the middle class, and they are the second echelon of customers. ”

Miami's spending power is very strong, and before leaving, Qin Shiou asked the toll collector how much turnover was today.

The toll collector said, "Four hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, boss." ”

Butler introduced that the staff in the store knew that this young Chinese man was their big boss.

Qin Shiou sighed: "It's terrible! ”

Butler was not satisfied, and said, "What is this? It is common for a large hotel to purchase 20,000 pieces of seafood a day. This simply means that we have done business with twenty hotels. How many high-quality restaurants and hotels are there in Miami? More than 200! We've only done a tenth of it. ”

Riding out of Ant Street, Qin Shiou began to see Miami, one of the world's top ten tourist cities.

He originally thought he was going to see some beach beauties and wine luxury cars. The result is a series of old houses.

The wooden door frames that have been deformed by disrepair, and the dilapidated and old steps of the door that expose the bricks inside. There are also graffiti-covered walls, many children and teenagers in simple clothes are cheering and playing with basketball and football, and the urban area outside Ant Street is full of vitality but a bit dilapidated.

"It's not a slum, it looks like you have a misunderstanding about Miami." Butler took control of the steering wheel and teased Qin Shiou, and he read his inner thoughts from his partner's expression.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, man, I thought there were only high-rise buildings in Miami. ”

Butler laughed: "Where there's sunshine, there's shadow, and there isn't a city in America." There are only high-rise buildings and no slums, especially in cities where the richer and more luxurious. ”

Later, Butler introduced to Qin Shiou that this urban area is called Ant City, which is the old town of Miami. For people near the sea, seafood is the worst food, so Ant Street used to be a business for the low-level people.

With Miami's economy taking off and tourism growing, there are more tourists, and the status of Ant Street has come up. It's a pity that this doesn't help Ant City much.

Indeed, Qin Shiou looked carefully, and many of the houses here could still capture traces of their former glory if they were judged only by their appearance and structure or the scale of their occupation. Because although these houses look dilapidated, they can occupy a large area and have a strong sense of heaviness of European and American architecture.

Qin Shiou was curious about such a large area of the old city. Why aren't there developers building CBD or developing residential communities?

Butler laughed, "Who would dare to come?" Any idea what the police station is equipped with here? Mine-resistant armored vehicles! At night you know how chaotic it is, and the gunshots are like firecrackers. There are dozens of fast guns hidden in our shop, have you noticed? The clerks I'm recruiting are all unruly young men? ”

"Noticed, I thought you were special."

"NO, it's not a feature, they are all good at recruiting and fighting, many of them were retreated from the troops just now, and only they can deter the villains around them."

Qin Shiou didn't understand, "Then why did you choose the shop here?" ”

Soon he understood, as the car turned the corner, a small pier appeared in his field of vision, and the car drove onto Linhai Boulevard.

"It's the most convenient place to ship seafood, and Ant Street has been glorious for 200 years, and tourists from all over the world know that they go to Ant Street when they come to Miami to eat seafood, so how can we not take advantage of it? On top of that, the tax here is low, haha, by opening a seafood restaurant here, we can save forty percent of the tax! ”

Butler laughed again, the Miami government wanted to develop Ant City, but it was too chaotic, and it was mainly immigrant, and there was a strong belief in rebellion against the government.

As a result, the city of Miami has figured out a subtle way to develop the city, offering benefits that attract companies and factories to the city and let it grow on its own.

At present, this trick has some effect, at least the roads in the city have become tidy.

Driving the car, Butler said, "In Miami, dining is the ultimate way to understand and experience the different flavors of the city, come, I'll take you through it, this meal can last a long time, so, my man, you have to be patient." ”

Qin Shiou smiled: "Then you don't have to worry, I'm just patient." ”

The meal was indeed long enough, and Butler first took Qin Shiou into a park, Massimo Gomez Park in Little Havana, where he asked for two cups of Cuban coffee and sat by the flower bed while watching the sunset.

"It's afternoon tea, man, and it's not dinner yet." Butler laughed.

Qin Shiou raised his coffee cup and motioned to him: "Good coffee, great afternoon tea." ”

There is a small open-air restaurant called Juan's Restaurant next to the park, and Butler beckoned the waiter to come over and order a boneless Long Island roast duck and red oil sherry roast rabbit meat, which is the afternoon tea meal.

Qin Shiou smiled and said that he always thought that afternoon tea was accompanied by dessert, but he didn't expect it to be served with barbecue, so Butler asked him to try it.

The last two delicate barbecues are Spanish-style, roasted and fat-free, and they don't taste greasy at all, so it's really good with coffee.

During this period, Qin Shiou called the fishermen, these guys had already woken up, but they went to the striptease-dance bar to drink beer, and when they answered the phone, they shouted one by one, and they seemed to be refreshing.

In this way, Qin Shiou didn't ask them to come over to eat together, he knew that these guys didn't have time to eat tonight. (To be continued......)
