The small restaurant opened by Bai Yao is called Golden Shell Seafood Restaurant, and it is located in the northernmost corner of Qiaohai Town, next to the coast.

After entering the door, you can see the clear light blue sea water and the soft sandy beach from a row of spacious and translucent floor-to-ceiling windows. Clean and soft white silk curtains are hung on both sides of the windows. The degree of shading is just right, and the store is bright but not dazzling.

The main colors in the restaurant are cyan and white, with a crystal chandelier installed on the ceiling, and a mural of Qiaohai Town carved on a wooden wall, and a small island not far away can be seen.

"Wait here, I'll cook for you." Bai Yao brought the potato bowl that had been peeled in the morning into the house, and said casually, "Before I leave in a while, I will become a person and pay me the money. Your oysters don't count." , I only accept cash."

Bai Yao just went to the seafood market in the south of the town in the morning and bought a lot of crabs, sea urchins and scallops. The scallops are extremely fresh and big. They are a specialty of Qiaohai Town and cannot be bought anywhere else.

He glanced at a large box of scallops on the table, and finally decided to forget it, it was prepared for the opening of the restaurant tonight. In the recent summer tourist season, there are many tourists visiting the beach, and the number of customers in the store has also increased. This kind of scallops is not only expensive, but also very popular with customers. This box is the amount for tonight, and I really can't tell the excess.

There is still the chilled mackerel that just arrived yesterday in the freezer. Bai Yao wants to cook it a few more times and add it to the restaurant's menu, so there are still a lot of surplus, steaming it should be enough.

The little sea otter didn't move after entering the restaurant, nestled in a corner near the door, quietly watched Bai Yao busy with work, and remained motionless. Its eyes are very cute, and its paws are put together in front of itself. It doesn't look like a sea otter at all, but like an obedient puppy.

Bai Yao didn't think much, and went directly into the kitchen to cook for it.

Send people away earlier, and start preparing for the opening of the store at night.

He took the fish out of the freezer, skillfully opened it up and cleaned it, shredded the **** and green onion, spread it on the cleaned fish, put it in a steamer and lit it.

Steaming fish takes no time and is easy for him, not difficult to make.

Before the mackerel in the pot was steamed, there was a sudden loud bang outside, as if something had been overturned to the ground.

Bai Yao hurriedly turned off the fire and ran out of the kitchen. He saw at a glance that the box on the table had been overturned on the ground, and a whole box of scallops neatly stacked inside was scattered all over the floor.

And the little sea otter who was obediently staying by the corner was nestling on the edge of the table, with a look of excitement and excitement.

It holds the largest scallop in its two front paws, and looks around with its small head up. When it sees Bai Yao coming out of the kitchen, it is stunned for a second, and then continues to look around to see where it can crack its claws. shells.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Bai Yao felt that the moment he looked at him contained a little bit of apology.

It's very strange, obviously there are tables and chairs next to it, both of which are harder than shells, but the little sea otter twisted in front of the legs of the table, raised the scallop to make a gesture, hesitated again, and slowly lowered its paw, as if Knowing that he should not destroy the things in Bai Yao's shop.

Anyway, the box has fallen down, and it's useless to get angry now, Bai Yao looked at what this idiot who stole the scallops was going to do.

The little sea otter started to worry, but he couldn't eat the food he was holding in his paws, so anxious that his beard was trembling.

Reluctant to smash it on the table and chairs, the little sea otter wanted to throw it on the ground, but when he raised the scallop in his hand, his movements were extremely gentle when he fell, and he didn't have enough strength to open it.

It seemed that he was afraid of smashing the floor of Bai Yao's shop out of a hole.

The little sea otter is quite polite.

Bai Yao was almost amused by it, walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

After hearing this, the little sea otter looked wary and squeezed the scallop tightly, with eyes full of words "This is mine, do you want to steal it?".

"I'll open it for you." Bai Yao patiently explained to it.

I don't know why, but Bai Yao just felt that he could see the struggle and hesitation on its face, as if this was the most difficult decision in the world.

The little sea otter had an extremely expressive expression and thought about it for a long time. It raised one arm, stuffed the scallops into its small pocket, rubbed its claws, looked up at Bai Yao, as if saying "no more".

Bai Yao didn't move, put one hand in his pocket and raised his eyebrows at it.

In the end, the little sea otter had no choice but to compromise, and took the scallop out of his pocket again. After a while, he slowly raised his paw and put it in Bai Yao's hand.

It raised its small head and stared eagerly, with a hint of pleading in its eyes. The little sea otter was worried that Bai Yao would not return the food to him, so he moved forward a little, and stretched out a paw to lightly step on his leg.

Bai Yao glanced at its hungry, flattened belly, and suddenly felt as if he had picked up a little stray dog ​​on the road and returned home.

The scallops are fresh and tightly closed, and they cannot be opened without tools. Of course, for sea otters, smashing them open is also an option.

Bai Yao brought a small knife from the kitchen, inserted it into the seam of the shell, pried it skillfully, and broke it in half, exposing the white and tender meat inside. He handed over the pried open shell, and couldn't help but add another sentence: "Eat raw?"

After all, the little sea otter is an individual after his transformation, so no matter how he put it, he should be a little bit against raw meat.

The little sea otter was stunned for a second, tilting his head to ponder what Bai Yao said, then nodded excitedly, his eyes lit up.

"...I'm not complimenting you."

The little sea otter looked at the scallop that Bai Yao handed over, but didn't take it right away, but spread his paws and lifted it up, quietly waiting for Bai Yao to put the scallop on it.

After receiving the shell, it held the scallop in front of its chest. Instead of eating it immediately, it faced Bai Yao and bowed like a bow, its eyes shining with sincerity. The meat stuffed into his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes with some enjoyment.

Bai Yao belatedly understood.

It's saying thank you.

This silly sea otter is saying thank you.
