In early spring, the sun is warm and the branches are blooming.

Xicheng, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, has also entered a colorful atmosphere.

A butterfly from the street green belt rose flying, goose yellow wings fluttering, over the front row of shops.

In a medium-sized hotel with Yuxiang inscribed on a plaque, guests enter from time to time.

The hotel has made a glass window. People walking outside can clearly see the rows of transparent water tanks behind the window. All kinds of river fish, shrimps and crabs are swimming in the water tanks.

Outside the window, a fat beaver with grey tiger spots was lying lazily on the mat. The cat was fed very fat by the owner of the fish house and lay there in a ball. From a distance, it didn't look like a cat, but more like a fat sea cucumber with water.

At this time, the fat sea cucumber's eyes were fixed on the butterfly, and the next second was attracted by the sound of fishing in the window.

I saw a fishing net stirring in the water tank of a grid of black fish. The fish in it dodged from left to right, but still couldn't escape. The biggest and most energetic black fish in it was quickly fished out.

"Take this one!" The guest who fished out the fish in the hotel told the shopkeeper nearby that the black fish was very energetic and kept splashing in the net, shaking out a lot of water from time to time.

"Good!" The boss skillfully put the fish in the net on the scale, "guest, you have a good eye. This is the best black fish in the shop at present!" How do the guests want to eat? Baked or pickled fish? "

"Fish in two, do both." The Fisher inquired with his companion and gave such a reply.

"All right, I'll be right there! I'll take the fish to the back The boss immediately answered, and asked the staff on standby next to him to lead the guests to their seats. He took the fish and walked to the kitchen, shouting, "table 10, a roast fish and a pickled fish!"

The diners sitting near the gate listened to the boss's strong cry. They were all in a good mood, chatting and waiting to serve.

"This restaurant is delicious. The cook fish is very good!"

"Yes, yes, I came to eat grilled fish last month. It's delicious!"

"This time I ordered another fish with pickled vegetables. I don't know if it's delicious."

The sound of the diners reached the front door. The fat beaver, who was lying outside, shook his ears, got up from the mat, got into the shop and walked through the heel of the waiter to the kitchen.

In the back kitchen across the door wall, the boss holding the previous black fish threw the fish into a water tank, and then fished out a nearly heavy but apparently half dead black fish from another water tank which also contained fish and handed it to the chef: "make it with this one."

Two water tanks, one containing energetic fish, the other containing wilted fish about to stop cooking, combined with the boss's previous behavior has already explained everything.

The chef in charge of killing fish and scaling had no objection at all. He took over the withered fish and went to the fish washing area to brush and start work. Obviously, he was used to it.

Sitting in the corner of the kitchen door, fat civet flower looks at this scene, sticks out her tongue and licks the corner of her mouth. First, she looks at the water tank with fresh live fish regretfully, and then walks to the fisherman with fat cat steps.

"Meow!" fat people always have a beautiful voice that is opposite to their appearance. This fat beaver is no exception. When he lengthens his voice and acts like a coqueter to the fisherman, his meow is really amazing.

When the chef in charge of killing fish heard the meow, he immediately showed a smile on his face: "it's time to mix again. Wait a minute, I'll give you the meatballs."

A few minutes later, fat civet flower ball harvested fish gills fish water and other cat favorite fishy food, eat is not up.

The owner is the owner of the fish restaurant. He opens a small stove every day from time to time. It's no surprise that the meatballs grow so fat.

After fat civet has enjoyed the delicious meal, the fast-moving back chef has already made the fish into two delicious dishes and sent them out. When the meatballs left the kitchen in cat's step, the two guests at table 10 over there were very happy and didn't realize the secret of the kitchen.

In less than an hour, they had enough to eat and drink and walked out of the gate contentedly.

"Hey, the boss's cat is seeing us off at the door."

"It's really the cat in the fish restaurant. It's really fat."

Two people talk and smile to leave, only rely on the ball beside the gate to see their back and lick mouth.

Oh, stupid human, cheated by its master again.

After a while, he heard the familiar footsteps behind him and turned his head directly. Then he saw a cook with a bucket coming out of the back kitchen. He carried the bucket and poured it into the water tank where the black fish had been stored. Several black fish mixed into the water tank and replenished the empty water tank. The diners who had eaten enough and walked away did not find that the fish they had ordered had returned to their original position .

Meatball yawned dully. The owner was tired of it. It was a pity that he couldn't eat the biggest black fish. On the first day when the black fish came, meatball watched it, but the snow melted and the flowers opened, and it still didn't eat it.At this time, a blue car came from the empty parking space in front of the store. After slowly stopping, a man and a woman came down from it.

"Yuxiang family?" Lin Lanzhen looked at the lintel of the hotel in front of him and turned to Cheng Fengyang next to him, "is that here?"

"Yes, this is it." Putting the car key in his pocket, Cheng Fengyang nodded with a smile, "although I'm here for the first time, my company's food colleagues are dedicated to recommending it. They say that the roast fish inside is unique, and they won't be disappointed if they have tasted it."

"That's what so many designers say. I'll definitely try it." Lin Lan replied, "well, I'll pay for your treat this time. I'll wait for you to arrange after I enter the store."

"That's for sure!" The other side patted his chest and assured, "I've got the back!"

While they were talking, they went to the store door. When they were about to enter the door, Lin Lan saw the fat beaver flower in front of the window. Because it was too fat, she couldn't help looking at it more subconsciously.

This civet cat looked at Pang. She was very keen on people's vision. She immediately looked up. When one person and one cat's vision crossed, Pang civet cat even gave Lin lanmiao a sound.

Lin Lan couldn't help walking.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Fengyang, who was next to him, asked. Today, he finally asked his sweetheart out alone. The young man was very happy, and his face seemed casual. In fact, he was always paying attention to other people's every move.

"Nothing." Lin Lan shook his head, "let's go in."

She can't tell Cheng Fengyang that just now the little fat cat said something like "there are two stupid human beings going to be my master.".

Be taken in? What are you fooled by?

Does the boss of this shop sell fake fish or cheat customers?

Lin Lan is on the alert, but he goes into the shop with Cheng Fengyang. He sees the shop owner with an attentive smile. Cheng Fengyang has taken the fishing net from the other party.

"It's better to eat grilled fish than black fish." The young man took the net and laughed at Lin Lan. He went to the tank with black fish and said, "wait, LAN LAN, I'll pick the best one for you!"

The fishing net stirred again in the water tank, and soon the big black fish picked by the last group of guests was caught again. The big black fish was tossed several times in a short time, and the strength of struggle was a little less than that of the last time.

"The guests have good eyesight. This is the best black fish in the shop at present." At this time, the boss sent rainbow fart, reached for the fish handed by Fengyang, and skillfully put it on the scale next to him.

When weighing the fish, Lin Lan saw that the fat cat outside had already entered the shop. He sat next to the water tank, staring at the big black fish in the net pocket, and uttered a cry in his mouth.

"Meow --" (you can't eat this fish. Just like me, you can only see it in the water.)

Fat civet flower is just a casual feeling of self whisper, but fell in Lin Lan's ears, that is the amount of information is very rich, almost in a few seconds, Lin Lan understood what kind of restaurant fat cat's words mean.

"It's two Jin and three Liang in all. How do the guests want to eat? Baked or pickled fish? " The shop owner who has finished weighing warmly asks the guests how they want to eat.

Lin Lan quickly stepped forward: "Cheng Fengyang..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the young man who was negotiating with the boss in front of her stretched out his hand and lifted it: "don't be busy first."

When the boss is stunned, Cheng Fengyang reaches out to catch the fish on the scale, and then raises it high and throws it to the ground.

The fish was unable to move, and the people around were also muddled.

But the man who threw the fish didn't stop. He picked up the fish from the ground and threw it again.

"Well, that's OK." Cheng Fengyang, who is absolutely sure of killing the fish, takes out two paper towels at the front desk to wipe his hands. He looks up and says to the stunned shopkeeper, "make all the fish into roast fish, and then have a preserved egg tofu and a bottle of beer. Let's just sit Table 8 is ready. "

As soon as I came back, the youth had arranged everything properly.

The shop owner took the dead black fish and tried to raise a slightly stiff smile: "grilled fish and preserved egg tofu, right? Arrange it right away!" Maybe he didn't want to see Cheng Fengyang's face again. He quickly took the fish and went to the kitchen to yell, "Table 8, roast fish and preserved egg tofu!"

The boss was in a hurry, but he didn't notice that the fat beaver followed him happily.

Eat big fish, eat big fish! Fresh big fish

Lin Lan How to do, suddenly I want to laugh.

No, she has to hold back.

Until sitting at the table, the waiter who brought the tableware walked away, Lin Lan still didn't hold back her smile and began to laugh.

Cheng Fengyang saw her suddenly smile, immediately embarrassed: "I didn't mean to do this, I'm really scared by the current restaurant's greasy, can only do this."

"What?" Originally thought Cheng Fengyang is found this shop secretly change fish thing, the result listen to the tone seems not, Lin Lan can't help but be stunned, "originally you are not sure?"

"It's my first time here, too. Where can I be sure of anything?" Cheng Fengyang didn't hide it. He said directly, "I met this habit when I had dinner with my brothers in another fish restaurant last summer. At first, we didn't know that the fish shop would have the trick of changing fish secretly. But on the way home, someone found his things in the shop. When we turned back, we saw the clerk put the fish we had picked back into the water tank. I picked the fish myself. Of course, I can see it at a glance. "It's impossible for a few men to rush in and talk to the shop owner immediately when such a thing doesn't happen. Although the shop in the back gave back their meal money in order to make things better, Cheng Fengyang was still depressed by it.

"After that, I always do this when I go to the fish restaurant for dinner." Cheng Fengyang said here, it is a serious face, serious, "at most is a thick skinned point, was rolled, better than not clearly suffer."

When Lin Lan heard this, he was already laughing to the point that he couldn't do it. This is the wisdom of life, but he is really knowledgeable.

After a while, the grilled fish was brought up. The rectangular grilled plate was full of black fish. The fish was mixed with the delicious smell of sauce, and it went straight into the nostrils. When it smelled, it moved with ten fingers.

Designer Cheng even critically observed the length of the fish, and finally nodded: "this length is right, it's the one I picked." I just picked up my chopsticks to eat.

Lin Lan smiles again.

"By the way, LAN LAN, I told you before that I wanted to introduce business to you. Do you remember?"
