A Veteran Can do Anything.
A Veteran Can do Anything.
"No one expects him to do it over here if that person has a normal IQ, but I'm not sure about you." Wu Hai immediately turned the head and looked towards Wu Jun. Stroking his small mustaches, he said with a manner of contempt.
Wu Hai was never a person that showed due respect for others' feeling. On hearing that, he straightforwardly contradicted.
"Okay. You seem to be a person that always strikes back no matter if you suffer losses or not. It's not funny." Wu Jun directly made a judgement on Wu Hai. Then, he spoke no more and just sat there, enjoying the delicacies.
"It is good that you understand me so well." Wu Hai stroked his own mustaches and snorted coldly.
"Little Hai, take a seat. It's not good for us to obstruct the entrance." Zheng Jiawei stopped Wu Hai who intended to continue fighting back.
"Alright. Boss Yuan, why did you come to Japan without saying a word? I almost starved to death." Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou sorrowfully.
"The day after tomorrow, I am prepared to make sashimi at the Tsukiji Market." Yuan Zhou said that immediately and successfully stopped Wu Hai's look of sorrow.
"That's terrific. I will follow you starting from the day after tomorrow." Wu Hai said directly.
"Um." Yuan Zhou answered him simply and then spoke no more.
"Wu Hai seems to be better than Wu Jun. He's satisfied as long as there's something to eat." Seeing Wu Hai not say anything more but start to study the dishes of the Izakaya instead, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
This time, however, Yuan Zhou also verified the rumor that Wu Hai truly ate nothing without Yuan Zhou's restaurant. He only ordered some rice wine to drink.
Of the four people, no one really spoke much except the only talkative guy Wu Jun. Since he had experienced Wu Hai's abilities just now, Wu Jun didn't say anything more. Hence, the four people talked less and less.
For a long while, none of them said anything. Of course, that excluded Zheng Jiawei who greeted them courteously at the beginning.
Yuan Zhou didn't develop a habit of wandering around after the meal. He just returned to the hotel straightforwardly and the others also followed.
"Do you live in the room across?" Yuan Zhou asked Wu Hai while watching him take out the keycard of the room across the hall.
"Yeah. I specifically come for my meals." Wu Hai declared again.
"I can't cook these few days." Yuan Zhou said bluntly.
"Yeah, I heard that from Jiawei. Why aren't you cooking since it's an exchange of pointers meeting?" Speaking of that, Wu Hai became quite indignant.
"Because it's only an exchange of pointers." Yuan Zhou answered without thinking.
In Yuan Zhou's opinion, he could defeat all the chefs that cooked at the meeting today if the goal wasn't to exchange pointers.
Leaving aside the fact that it was the younger generation who cooked today to display their culinary skills, even the older generation wouldn't be as good as Yuan Zhou in dealing with some of the ingredients.
"You are right. If you can display your culinary skills here, that would be interesting." Wu Hai understood Yuan Zhou's words and thus nodded the head approvingly.
"Um. Sleep early." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said.
"I'm still waiting for Boss Yuan's sashimi." Wu Hai also nodded his head and then went to open the door of his room.
"Boss Yuan, do rest early." Zheng Jiawei said courteously.
"Good night." After saying that, Yuan Zhou turned around and opened his own room to go to bed.
As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, Zheng Jiawei asked, "Little Hai, why didn't you ask about the matter tomorrow?"
Zheng Jiawei knew that Wu Hai came to meet Yuan Zhou just for something to eat. Even so, it was quite incredible that he behaved so normal now and didn't bother Yuan Zhou to cook for him.
"I am prepared to go to the meeting place first and then follow Boss Yuan into the exchange of pointers meeting tomorrow morning. After all, I'm also Boss Yuan's apprentice." Wu Hai said proudly.
"Will Boss Yuan agree?" Zheng Jiawei asked with puzzlement.
"Of course he won't agree, but the doorkeeper will agree. Didn't you hear about the matters in the meeting today?" Wu Hai said complacently.
"Be careful, Boss Yuan might not be happy." Zheng Jiawei reminded him.
"Well, I will confess to him as soon as I get into the meeting place." Wu Hai said smartly immediately.
"Hopefully, Boss Yuan won't get angry." Zheng Jiawei didn't try to persuade him. After all, Wu Hai truly hadn't eaten anything for two days.
However, Wu Hai had never imagined the meeting that day would be scheduled in the afternoon rather than in the morning. Naturally, he didn't manage to get inside and thus had to return to his room to continue sleeping.
He behaved as if he had wanted to compensate for his lack of sleep last night.
As for Yuan Zhou, he naturally went to the Tsukiji Market in the morning. The top-grade ingredients naturally required booking in advance. Even one day earlier was better than nothing.
Of course, Wu Jun still had to lead the way.
"The inner zone is almost the same with the outer zone." Yuan Zhou wore a thick cotton-padded jacket with his short hair spiking up spiritedly.
"Indeed. But it's fine for now as there are not too many people in the outer zone. Shortly, there will be more and more people and all of them will be tourists." Wu Jun felt a little cold and hence breathed into his palms to warm them.
"Let's go to see the fish." Yuan Zhou said concisely and then walked first ahead of Wu Jun.
"I know, I know." Wu Jun yawned and then followed him towards the inside.
No wonder Wu Jun yawned. It was only around 5:00 in the morning and it was still dark in Japan. However, there were quite a lot of people who came to see the fish.
The inner zone was full of big dealers who traded thousands of kilograms of fishes. And there were no small retailers or individual buyers.
Basically, there were no freshwater fish in Tsukiji Market and all fishes were from the oceans. However, the difference from Chengdu was that most of the fishes were alive rather than the frozen fresh ones.
Though Yuan Zhou couldn't understand Japanese, he also noted the differences. But when he turned his head and looked at Wu Jun, he became at ease again immediately.
"Since this guy calls himself a veteran, he has to have a consciousness of a veteran." Yuan Zhou thought that inwardly.
Not long after they wandered around the market, Yuan Zhou arrived at the auction house of the fishes. Sometimes, the fishes over here would be sold by auction. Of course, only a small part of the customers had the opportunity to be invited into it.
They also sold some precious kinds of fishes by auction.
There was one right now.
"Bluefin tuna? And two?" Yuan Zhou looked at the Japanese written on the prompt board in surprise.
Yuan Zhou indeed didn't know Japanese, but some Japanese characters were very similar to the Chinese characters. Upon seeing the picture, Yuan Zhou figured out what was being sold with a guess.
"Yes, indeed. This thing is quite rare. You can find such things only in large markets." Wu Jun went up and had a look. Then he said that as if he were an expert in the field.
"Now that there are two, I don't want to trouble you too much. I need one of them. You can eat a plate of sashimi from part of the belly." Yuan Zhou directly offered his conditions.
"This is an auction. Under such circumstances, they are unlikely to sell one to an individual buyer. I'm saying it seriously. It's not a matter of money. Don't give me money. I'm really not talking about money." Wu Jun saw Yuan Zhou take out his phone and directly transfer 200,000 RMB to him.
Coincidentally, his phone even reminded him, "Alipay received 200,000 RMB."
"How did you know I have no restrictions on receiving money? No, no. It's not the point. It's really very hard to buy one that way." Wu Jun tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear.
"Go ahead, veteran. There are only two and it's not early." Yuan Zhou set down the phone and said naturally.
"The word that I hate most now is 'veteran'. I will get angry with whoever calls me veteran next time." Taking his phone, Wu Jun appeared rather helpless and thus mumbled.
Looking at the shadow of Wu Jun making phone calls, Yuan Zhou didn't forget to instruct.
"Remember to return the rest of the money to me if it's more than necessary." The Yuan Zhou that didn't like money could not trouble Wu Jun who didn't like money, either.
So for the remaining money, it was better to return it to him.
