Chapter 1585 How much is this penguin per pound?

Seafood can be bought in supermarkets and is more convenient. The reason I come here specifically is because the feeling of buying things in the aquatic market is different, such as visiting aquariums and tourist attractions.

Ordinary people are tired of going to the market to buy ingredients every day, but in Han Xuan's opinion, it is a very interesting experience. Many tourists will also make a special trip to the Sydney fish market. The guide writes this as one of the must-visit places to visit Sydney.

In recent years, many ranchers in Montana have sold the ranch that has been passed down for hundreds of years in their family, and then moved to big cities to live. The rich people living in the city are rushing to buy farms and ranches, and have a long vacation. They like a pastoral and calm life.

The stock god Buffett once called Gonzalez Jr. and offered to buy his Gonzalez Ranch at a high price, but was rejected. Gonzalez Jr. could brag about this for the rest of his life.

It can be seen from this that what we don’t get is always better. People will pursue what they lack. The poor are more pursuing money. When the wealth they own has reached a certain point, they will pursue the true desire deep in their hearts.

Now that Han Xuan is making a decision, he simply follows his own ideas and does whatever he wants. His life looks a bit messy, but he feels comfortable.

All kinds of seafood ingredients in the Sydney fish market are the freshest. A big octopus is still alive. He is lying in a plastic basin filled with sea water. His tentacles are stomping on the edge of the basin and attempt to escape. He is kicked back by the stall owner. Look at the thick and powerful suction cup tentacles. Whether it is barbecue or braised, it will be delicious and full of chewyness.

I didn't buy the whole piece, I only bought an octopus leg, which weighed more than two pounds. It was a big octopus, bigger than the one in the pot. Not long after I died, the stall owner boasted that he had just caught it in the morning. There was nothing fresher in the entire market than it, and the tentacles were still twisting unconsciously.

King crabs have recently flooded near Antarctica. In the past two years, scientists observed a huge group of king crabs with a population of up to one million on the seabed of the Antarctic waters. This news made them no longer sell at high prices, and the principle that rare things are expensive is common everywhere.

Han Xuan picked and chose, and finally took away the huge king crab that was tied up, and left the secretary Dawson to pay. His cousin Mengmeng smiled and chose a green meat crab that was four times larger than her palm. The crab had a thick forelimbs and was full of meat.

The poor guy was spitting bubbles in his mouth and was tied up. She acted coquettishly and said, "Cousin, I didn't bring any money when I went out."

"Why are you asking me for money? Don't you know your cousin's nickname?"

"Hmm? What's the nickname?"

"Walking Bank!"

Han Xuan hugged her and joked that he had never contacted other relatives since he was a child and had a good impression of this little cousin. The two have become very close to each other in the past few days.

When it comes to Wang Mengmeng, this little girl is actually quite rich at home.

At that time, her ancestors and grandma's ancestors were in the same lineage. As a family of officials in the Qing Dynasty, they had a lot of wealth. It is said that the Qing magistrate had 100,000 silver silver. Although it fell due to turmoil at the end of the last century, it was not comparable to ordinary families.

After the separation, my grandmother's family took half of her property and came to the United States to settle down. The ancestors of Mengmeng's family also took half of it, and the starting point of doing business in Xiangjiang was much higher than others.

My grandma's family has never been short of money since she was a child, and even when she came to the United States, she has never experienced hardships. So until now, she still has a little habit of buying things. She will buy things whenever she encounters something she likes at auction.

She helped to pick the clothes, which made the old man look glamorous and valued the most. It was related to the traditional thinking education she received from her elders since she was a child. When she was a child, she experienced the discrimination brought by the Chinese Exclusion Act, which led to the rise of the family. After the family rose, she liked to see a group of noble ladies flattering themselves.

The strong personality was more obvious in the past few years. After becoming older, I began to look down on those things. When Time magazine used her as the cover character, it was a "strong woman who can compete with Mrs. Thatcher". The old man's ability to do today has a lot to do with her help.

Mengmeng’s family was not bad in Xiangjiang before, but not as rich as a wealthy person. Until the help of Han Xuan last year, she became the exclusive supplier of Snow Mountain Ginseng East Asia, making their dry goods store famous and quickly rose to the top of their peers. The business has been very popular recently, and it is said that it has opened several branches in a row.

The place is so big, and the news of Xiangjiang can never be hidden. Once Mengmeng drank too much and boasted about the relationship between her family and the Han family. The news was revealed to the magazine. After it was published, the entire Xiangjiang was alarmed.

Walking bank.

This nickname is used to call Han Xuan, but it is really the major shareholder of several banks. Mengmeng smiled after hearing this and told: "You are not robbed. You are so lucky. If you tied you up, you will definitely make a fortune."

"The person who wants to kidnap me can circle the earth several times with his hands. However, if I really dare to do it, I think the possibility of being unlucky in the end is relatively high. If you have money but have no life, it will be awful."

Han Xuan looked at the things the bodyguards and coolies carried, and continued, "Okay, the ingredients are almost enough, so buy some scallops.

Anya, call my mom and ask her where to eat dinner. If you have nothing to do, let her come to us and I will call my dad..."

As he was talking, Han Xuan suddenly saw a strange little guy at a stall not far away. He stood on the ice cubes and walked over and stopped in front of it. He asked the old stall owner in shock and asked, "Can you still sell penguins here? How much does it cost? How to eat it? Isn't it illegal?"

That's right, there was a living penguin standing on the ice, with her round belly erect and her eyes looking at Han Xuan.

This made him feel confused. While trying to taste the taste of penguin meat, he was reluctant to take the little guy. The truth that "there has been a cute thing since ancient times" also applies to penguins.

The old stall owner lowered his head and was busy cleaning the clams, laughing happily: "Haha!

No, no! It is not seafood. Harulu is my adopted pet. It was separated from my mother. I met me at the beach when I was born. Seeing that it looked pitiful, I brought it back.”

"... Sorry, I just said, how could penguins only price three Australian dollars?" Han Xuan possessed himself and looked at the price list inserted on the broken ice, which said "Penguin, three Australian dollars".

“That’s my granddaughter’s bad taste.

You are not the first to ask about the price, but you are the first to ask me how to eat penguins. They are cute, but it is better to eat clams. Do you want to have a little?

Wow, it’s you, that little Chinese super rich man in the United States, right!”

"I'm right. I'll have two pounds of clams. Can you touch it?"

...

Unlike those emperor penguins who are born with aristocratic temperament, Han Xuan has seen them in the documentary and recognized that this is the only small blue penguin that breeds and lives in Australia.

It is very short, about forty centimeters, and is already an adult. Its chubby shape is naturally funny. There are more than one million wild communities and are not included in the list of protected animals.

After asking for the owner's consent, Han Xuan reached out to touch its belly. The little guy looked down at his hand. Instead of resisting, he took two steps forward.

The penguin cubs are covered with down, and the feathers of adult penguins feel more like they are touching a duck, which is harder than the duck's feathers. The thick layer of feathers allows the penguins to effectively resist the cold.

It's okay for him to touch it, and it's okay for Anya and Mengmeng to touch it. Gabriel just put his face in front of it and was about to reach out, but unexpectedly, the penguin spread its wings and twisted it, then slapped his face a few times, and the sound of slapping it loudly.

Then he stepped on the seafood, twisted his butt and trotted all the way, stood at another counter, and continued to stand stupidly, as if it wasn't the one who hit the person just now.

Gabriel was stunned. Han Xuan gloated and patted him on the back, mocking: "You are so naughty, put your face in front of it and let it hit it."

"Forgot to tell you that Harulu likes Blues-Lee's movies, and he practices kung fu."

“…”

Facing the teasing of the old stall owner, Gabriel looked helpless and touched his face. He couldn't fight with the penguin and raised his middle finger to despise it.

Mengmeng asked Han Xuan: "Are you planning to go to Antarctica to see penguins?"

Han Xuan shook his head and joked to her: "I won't go for the time being, and I can't beat them now. I'll talk about it when I practice."
