Chapter 190 Where did the show-off come from?

Mr. Zhou was a fisherman on the coast of Xingcheng in his early years. Around 08, he and his eldest son started seafood farming and wholesale.

However, in the past two years, the fishery has been basically handed over to Uncle Zhou, and the old couple set up a family hotel near the beach.

The small hotel is not very big, it has three floors in total, and the guest rooms are on the second and third floors.

You can live on the first floor, eat, process seafood, etc.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Zhou said that her family has a place to live.

The Zhou family's old couple went to H City for a week, and their eldest daughter-in-law took care of the hotel.

Uncle Zhou parked the car in the yard and everyone got out.

A woman in her forties came out from the kitchen on the first floor.

She smiled cheerfully and said quickly, "Mom and Dad! You're back! Xiao is awake! Are these your two classmates? Come in! The room has been cleaned up for you!"

My aunt is a quick-witted person and her personality is a bit like Grandma Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou asked her daughter-in-law, "Is the food ready?"

My aunt said, "Everything is ready! We are just waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

Su Xing smiled at his aunt and said, "Hello, aunt!"

Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng also greeted.

"Okay!" My aunt came over to help carry the things and said, "Let's go! Put the luggage in the room, wash your hands and we'll have dinner!"

This month is considered the peak tourist season, and the second and third floors of the small hotel are almost fully occupied.

The three girls, Su Xing, Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng, were arranged to stay in the room where their family lived on the first floor.

They put their suitcases in the room, washed up briefly, and came to the restaurant.

Su Xing didn't see his cousins, so he asked his aunt, "Aren't my brother and sister on holiday yet?"

My aunt said, "Your brother said he has an internship during the summer vacation and won't be back. Your sister said she's going to her classmate's house to play for a few days and won't be back for a while."

My uncle's two children are both in college, my cousin is a junior and my cousin is a sophomore.

Su Xing nodded, "Is that so."

My aunt shouted into the kitchen, "Sister Liu, bring all the food upstairs!"

The Zhou family’s small hotel hired a chef and a kitchen assistant in the kitchen, and two waiters in the guest rooms.

The "Sister Liu" mentioned by my aunt is the one who helps in the kitchen.

Sister Liu responded and started taking out food from the kitchen one pot at a time!

When you come to the beach, of course you have to eat seafood!

This first meal was basically a seafood feast, with shrimps, razor clams, cockles, hairy clams, sea urchins, conchs, and all kinds of sea fish... the table was filled to the brim!

It’s just that the female crabs are not fat enough in this season and most of them have no yellow color, so I only put in a pot of male crabs.

The locals here usually don't use complicated cooking methods when eating seafood. Most of the seafood with shells are boiled or steamed, and then a sauce is made with soy sauce, vinegar, and horseradish. The seafood is eaten directly with the sauce to enjoy its original flavor!

The staple food is the famous local dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel and shrimp.

Su Xing smelled the delicious aroma that went straight into his nose, and his saliva began to flow uncontrollably.

"So delicious!" Tian Cheng exclaimed.

Grandma Zhou said, "Hurry up and sit down! Eat more! We don't have much else at home, but we have a lot of seafood!"

Everyone sat down and started chatting and eating.

Su Xing asked Aunt Liu, who was helping in the kitchen, for some scissors.

Gave one to Zhang Xueyan and one to Tian Cheng.

"Cut off the head of the mantis shrimp, cut off the spines on both sides, and then tear it apart to make a complete piece of meat. It's so convenient!"

Su Xing demonstrated as he spoke, and soon he peeled out a whole strip of meat.

She dipped some of the sauce into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

Zhang Xueyan said: "You really know how to eat!"

My aunt laughed and said, "Xiaoxing loves seafood the most, of course she will eat it!"

Grandma Zhou also laughed and said, "This child's taste is like our Zhou family's!"

The three girls ate a lot during the meal.

Tian Cheng praised as she ate, "So fresh, so delicious! I love dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel the most!"

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "Eat more if you like! Plenty of seafood!"

Perhaps because the food at their table was so delicious, many of the guests in the restaurant ordered two more seafood dishes.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhou said to her eldest granddaughter, "Xiaoxing, it's not too late yet. Take your two classmates to the beach to help digest the food."

"Okay!" Su Xing responded, and then said to Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng, "Let's go back to the room and change into slippers before leaving."

The two nodded and followed Su Xing back to the room to change into slippers. Then the three girls walked towards the beach.

Zhoujia Hotel is very close to the beach, only five or six minutes' walk away.

In the evening, there are many people walking on the beach to enjoy the cool air.

There are some tourists taking photos near the Chrysanthemum Goddess Statue.

Su Xing took Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng and walked inside. There was a sea plank road leading to a viewing pavilion on the sea.

There were not many tourists in the viewing pavilion at this time, so Su Xing took them there to sit and enjoy the breeze.

Tian Cheng faced the sea, opened his arms, and said excitedly: "Wow! It's still cool at the seaside! It's so comfortable!"

Zhang Xueyan agreed: "It feels good! There aren't many tourists. It's not as crowded as I imagined. Is it because it's night time now?"

Su Xing said: "Xingcheng is a small place. Among the coastal cities in the north, it is not as well-known as Bincheng, Beidaihe and other places. Many of the people who come here are tourists from some surrounding cities, so it is not that crowded."

She added in her mind: But in two years, there will be more tourists here.

Tian Cheng said: "Oh my god! Forget about Beidaihe! The beach near Liuzhuang is packed with tourists, it's scary! I don't want to go there anymore!"

Su Xing and Zhang Xueyan both laughed.

They sat for a while, and the other tourists in the viewing pavilion left.

They planned to stay a while longer.

Just then, two more tourists walked into the viewing pavilion along the plank road.

The visitors were two young men in their twenties.

One of them was wearing all branded clothes, and the other one was not much more low-key than him.

When the two men saw the three girls in the pavilion, their eyes lit up!

Especially when they saw Su Xing, they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes!

"Swish, swish..." The show-off guy dressed in branded clothes suddenly whistled at the three girls!

Zhang Xueyan frowned and pushed her glasses impatiently.

Tian Cheng glared at the other person and muttered softly, "There's something wrong with you!"

Su Xing said, "Let's go."

The three girls all felt a little disappointed and walked out of the observation pavilion together.

"Hi! A few beauties! Don't go! Let's be friends! Which hotel are you staying in?" The one who spoke was the showy man.

He and his companions took a few steps and stood at the entrance of the viewing pavilion, refusing to move.
