Chapter 216 This is too casual
"I thought you wouldn't come to a small shop like ours, so I sent you a private message just to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to actually come."
The girl looked really surprised and now she didn't know what to do.
Seeing her panic, Xia Anan also panicked, "Don't be nervous, we just came to Hai City to play for a few days. I thought you contacted me before, so I came to see you."
"Thank you very much, Sister Xia, look, this is the meatball we usually make. This is an octopus meatball. You can still see the octopus meat inside. They are all made of real ingredients."
The girl took out a meatball and broke it open. You could tell how delicious it was just by looking at the chewiness of the fish meat.
Perhaps hearing the sound of their voices, a man walked out from the inner room.
"Guo Guo, who is it?"
Liu Guo quickly introduced, "Sister Xia, this is my mother."
"Mom, didn't I tell you before that there was a fish ball seller online? You said it tasted good when you bought it back then. This is Sister Xia who sells fish balls."
The woman's eyes fell on Xia Anan and nodded, "So it's you, it tastes really good."
They were still making fish balls inside, so after she finished speaking, she went in and continued working.
There was a small table at the door of the store, perfect for sitting down and chatting. Liu Guo brought them some water and also gave Xia Baobao some snacks made of fish.
"This has no thorns. It's made by my parents every day. Children can eat it without worry."
"Thank you."
Xia Baobao became energetic when he heard about food. He held a big bag and ate happily.
The store not only makes various kinds of fish balls, but also fish cakes, fish sausages and other things. While they were waiting, Liu Guo had already brought out several kinds for them to taste.
"It seems that I was right to follow you here today."
Lu Qingyuan took apart the disposable chopsticks, picked up a fish ball and put it into his mouth.
The taste of this sea fish is different from that of river fish. The umami flavor is more intense and the taste is better than imagined. No wonder so many people come to buy it.
When Xia Anan saw him nodding silently, she knew that the fish balls must taste good.
What she tried was fish cakes. The fish meat was made into the shape of a cake. If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t believe it was made of fish meat.
The first feeling after eating it is that it is very tender, more tender than any fish product I have eaten before. If it weren’t for the unique aroma of fish, I would have thought it was not made of fish.
You can tell there is no seasoning, just a little salt. You can taste the original flavor of the ingredients.
"Does it taste okay?"
Liu Guo took off her apron and walked over, looking at the two of them nervously.
"Because I didn't know you were coming, I didn't prepare much..."
Xia Anan nodded, "It's delicious, much better than what I sell."
While they were waiting, people kept coming to buy fish balls, which proved that the taste is popular among the public.
"Isn't your store doing well? Why don't you want to continue? And when I came here, I saw that this place was about to be demolished..."
After thinking about it, Xia Anan asked the doubts in her heart.
She thinks that Liu Guo’s fish balls are delicious and there are so many customers. Wouldn’t it be nice if she could wait for the demolition of this place in two years and then rent a store?
After all, their store has been in business for so many years, and it's a bit of a pity that it's closing down.
Liu Guo seemed to have known that she was going to ask this and sighed, "When I was in school, I hated being told that I smelled fishy. I went to a faraway city to get away from it. Now my parents are old and want to pass the store on to me...
In the past two years, their health has not been as good as before. I asked them to close the store and go out for some fun, but they refused and said they didn’t know what to do if they didn’t open the store.”
Liu Guo sighed, "So I quit my previous job and came home to help them. I kept nagging them every day, and they finally agreed. That's why I contacted you, just to give it a try."
Xia Anan nodded. It was like this for her parents’ generation. Even though their lives have become more relaxed now, they cannot sit idle.
She had just tasted the meatballs, and they tasted pretty good. "Your meatballs taste pretty good, but I don't think they're suitable for a snack street."
Liu Guo felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still forced a smile.
"It's okay. I thought about this possibility before you came, but I'm still very happy to get your affirmation."
Xia Anan spoke again under the girl's nervous gaze, "Actually, I want to build a processing plant here. Ask your parents if they are willing to come here as instructors? The working hours won't be too long every day, and you can pay them according to the market price, and you can also share profits."
"what?"
Liu Guo was ready to leave sadly, but when he heard this, he froze in his tracks and looked at her in disbelief, "Really?"
Xia Anan smiled and said, "Of course it depends on your parents' choice. I will stay in Hai City for the next few days. Think about it carefully and call me when you have made up your mind."
As the car drove out of the village in the city, Lu Qingyuan suddenly asked, "Did you decide so easily? Isn't that a bit too casual?"
Xia Anan was being fed by the little guy: "Really? I came here after doing some research, how can I be considered casual?"
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Xia Anan still took Xia Baobao to the beach.
The little guy held his bucket and stared at the sand under his feet.
Before going to bed yesterday, Xia Anan saw a video of people catching seafood and showed it to Xia Baobao. Unexpectedly, the little guy remembered it.
When he went out, he insisted on bringing his own bucket with him, saying that he wanted to go to the beach to catch fish.
Xia Anan felt that it was unlikely that the two of them could catch any fish, but it would be nice if they could pick up some small shells or something.
When we arrived at the place, everyone brought professional equipment, and many of them had already dug half a bucket of clams.
Then I looked at the two of us, standing on the beach, not knowing what to do.
I should have brought a small shovel for digging sand. Although I don’t know how to dig, maybe I can get a few by accident.
"Mom, dig..."
Xia Baobao grabbed Xia Anan's clothes and looked at the buckets carried by others with envy in his eyes.
Xia Anan also wanted to let him catch it, but she didn't know how to do it.
I should have brought Lu Qingyuan out with me earlier. He must have experience.
After a lot of effort, Xia Anan finally caught two small crabs, the size of fingernails, which could only be described as cute.
Fortunately, the little guy liked it. He filled the bucket with water, carried it carefully, and went to find cute little stones, saying that he wanted to build a house for the crab.
Xia Anan followed behind him and was responsible for carrying the bucket.
They found that the tide was high, and Xia Anan brought the little guy back to the shore. Just as they were about to go back, the road in front of them was suddenly blocked by someone.
