Chapter 259: Seafood Chowder
When it comes to going out together, Kai'Sa seems happy.
Maybe it's suffocating, after all, I've been witnessing all kinds of killings since I came to Bilgewater, and even if I just look at it, I won't be in a good mood.
"Do you know what's going on for tonight?" Exiting the room, Karn asked Kaisha.
"I don't know." Kai'Sa shook her head, then took Karn's arm, looked him in the eye and said, "I'll follow you wherever you go." β
"The plan is simple, it's mostly just you and me. Let's go somewhere else first, kill the time, and wait until the dead of night to go to the slaughterhouse, where Sarah has prepared a big fish for us. Speaking of which, I haven't had a big meal in a long time in Bilgewater. β
The skin began to tighten, the pinprick intensifying, and it was eager to devour flesh.
"Me too." Kai'Sa whined aggrievedly, then asked, "Where are we going first?" β
Karn glanced at the sky, the sun had just sunk into the sea, and the whole of Bilgewater was dotted with countless lights. (Mang = brute, local colloquial habits)
He listens to his own **, and the first thing that comes to mind is eating.
"Now it's time for dinner, let's go eat something to cushion my stomach. After eating one house for another, maybe we can eat for one night. Kasha's arm could reach her flat lower abdomen as long as it was straightened, Karn said with a deliberate few clicks.
Since the symbiosis with the skin armor, they no longer feel full, and they can eat as long as they want, but I don't know if there is a food court in Bilgewater, which can make them eat endlessly.
"Sounds good, let's go, I can't wait." Kai'Sa tugged at Karn's arm and hurried down the hill.
The two did not go to high-end and extravagant restaurants, because the food there was not only expensive, but also the portions were pitiful.
All the way to the lower town, looking for good and generous food.
The sea beast grease stored in the street lamp burned quietly, injecting smoke into the air, making people feel that the taste in their mouths was greasy.
Bilgewater was still so lawless, and as he passed a trestle, Karn watched as a hurried middle-aged man was snatched from his satchel by an oncoming short man and placed in his cloth bag in a split second.
Sarah's rule is that she can only control the evil pirate gangs, and she really can't manage the little thieves who can be seen everywhere.
The thief had only been walking up to Karn for more than three seconds, and he barely had time to think, and subconsciously quietly touched his stolen money bag at the moment of passing by, and then put it in the owner's satchel.
It wasn't until the owner and the thief had gone to the other ends of the trestle that Karn realized that he had subconsciously done a good deed.
Maybe......
He just didn't want to get into trouble, and on that premise, he didn't really mind doing something nice that was easy to do.
Karn turned his head to see Kai'Sa smiling at himself.
"What are you laughing at?" Karn was a little confused, and touched his chin.
"Nothing? I smell it. β
"What does it smell like?"
"Follow me!"
Kai'Sa led Karn down the street to a dark river, and he soon got a taste of what Kai'Sa was talking aboutβthe fishy smell of seafood.
Before I could see the shopkeeper, I heard the sound of chopping fish coming from the corner at the end of the street. When I turned around, I saw a seafood restaurant open by the river, and business was booming.
Karn's eyes lit up as he saw all sorts of seafood kept in transparent glass tanks, eels, lobsters, crabs, squid, you name it...... A pumping machine was constantly humming, and many hoses were sticking out and pumping into the tank, gurgling and bubbling.
This time, Karn took the initiative to pull Kai'Sa over, and he came to the humming machine, and reached out curiously to touch it.
"Why does it keep bubbling?" Kai'Sa asked.
"Fish also have to breathe, but their gills can only breathe in the water, so they have to keep pumping the water. Otherwise, the fish will die and will soon become stale and unpalatable. Karn explained, then looked at the man chopping fish, half of his face tattooed.
"Where did this machine come from?"
"Oh, that! The boss asked someone to buy a rare goods from Piltover, and I heard that the principal and freight can buy a small boat! β
"I see." Karnchai is also from Picheng or Zaun, and he knows that the Twin Cities are technologically advanced, but after all, the focus of technology is different from that of Earth, so it is still a bit surprising that there is such a thing as an oxygen machine.
Then think about Piltover is also a seaside city, and it is normal to have such a machine.
The butcher looked at the two of them strangely, and without looking, he plunged the sharp knife into the belly of the fish, skillfully called out the various organs of the fish, and threw them into the basket at his feet.
The smell of blood attracts a large school of razorfish and even mad dog sharks, but even if the sharks are cruising in the water a few meters away, they do not have the appetite of the riverside diners.
Karn watched as he poured a basket of fish into the river in front of him, and the schools of fish scrambled wildly.
"The two guests are noodle, let's eat it for the first time, and choose what you want to eat. It's all freshly cooked and fresh. β
"Oh, I'll see." Karn shifted his gaze to the fish tank, and began to stir up the seafood.
"Don't have a menu?" Kai'Sa stood next to the fish tank, a little at a loss.
"No, this shop only makes seafood chowder soup, you take a basket and put the seafood you want to eat in it, and the boss will help you cook it in a pot after killing."
"That's right......" Kai'Sa stared at Karn curiously, watching him grab a lobster and put it in the basket, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Karn, have you eaten it before?" How is it so familiar? β
"It's all like this, it's not surprising." Karn ran to the other side of the fish tank to pick it up.
He knew in his heart that this was all the experience accumulated in his previous life. Whether or not such a business model is common in Bilgewater, he can't explain why he's so skilled.
After the lobster, Karn picked another ironthorn squid, which is not very easy to "use", and if you are not careful, it will puncture the skin, and some people even suffocated to death because they were choked by the throat because they ate the iron squid raw. The eels were too big to eat, and they were divided into two people, and a few crabs and some seashells were loaded one after another. Kai'Sha on the other side also unconsciously picked too much, and didn't react until the basket couldn't fit it.
When they went to the butcher with the basket, he was also stunned: "You two have eaten so much?" β
"Don't worry, we can afford to pay for it, take a big bowl and put it in a bowl!"
