    "How about I buy you the best seafood tomorrow? Lobster and tuna are all fine. If there is any seal meat or dried whale, can I also buy it for you?" Luke asked tentatively.

    A certain dog¡¯s head suddenly raised, barked, bowed its body, and ran around the room, obviously very satisfied with the reward.

    Luke smiled and watched it scurry back and forth several times before grabbing its head and pulling it in front of him: "But remember, protect Selena, otherwise you will know."

    Selena is safe, that¡¯s all easy to say.

    If something happens to Selena, he will definitely beat the shit out of her.

    A certain dog's head was trembling, but he didn't care much in his heart.

    The big devil loves Selina the most. This is an ironclad fact. He is also very desperate.

    The next day, Luke and Selena got up early and went out before dawn, even taking breakfast with them in the car.

    The two of them and one dog went to the Saigon Seafood Market in the Chinese district of San Gabriel Valley.

    This is the place to buy seafood ingredients passed down by word of mouth among the Los Angeles area gourmets, and there are many time-honored brands operating here.

    This is to buy a gift for Gold Nugget. By the way, Luke will also pack a lot of seafood and go back to try out new dishes, killing two birds with one stone.

    It was a rare occasion for him and Selena to come here specifically to buy these things. Most of their shopping was in the supermarket.

    But the seafood in the supermarkets they usually go to is not as abundant as in this professional seafood market, and high-quality ones are not easy to buy.

    After entering, most of the stalls are bustling with people.

    It¡¯s still the darkest hour before dawn, but the stalls in the market are brightly lit.

    There are people everywhere, they are walking back and forth, some are bargaining with the boss, some are greeting or taunting their peers, and some are dragging their harvests out.

    There are puddles of water stains everywhere on the ground, and there is a strong smell of seawater, making it look a bit dirty.

    But, it is full of vitality and the breath of life.

    These are people who are working hard and living hard.

    Selena was shocked when she saw this scene: "Oh my god! I never knew that so many people got up early in Los Angeles. Are they just to buy fresh seafood?"

    Luke smiled, held her in his arms and walked towards the stalls: "Of course. Those who really work hard will definitely know what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock in the morning."

    Selena subconsciously looked at her watch: "Isn't it already half past five?"

    Luke shrugged: "But we got up at four o'clock and drove here for almost an hour."

    Selena patted her forehead: "My fault. Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

    The two of them were chatting there, but a certain alien dog was so anxious that he pulled Selena's trousers with his mouth and screamed like crazy.

    Neither of them needed to look at the expression on the dog's head to understand that it meant: Hey, didn't you agree to buy me a gift?  Hurry up, or we'll be robbed.

    In fact, business here is really booming.

    The people who come here are either gourmets or people working in the catering industry.

    ??Gourmets are here to satisfy their appetites, and catering industry personnel are here to make hard work and professional money.

    ¡° If you put many items here in the chilled counter of a small Chinese supermarket, the price will increase by half or several times, depending on the scarcity of the goods.

    However, Luke and the two of them don¡¯t need to fight.

    Luke is not interested in expensive ingredients. Instead, he focuses on what he likes first and taste second.

    Price is not a factor he needs to consider.

    Therefore, he will give up decisively whenever he encounters ingredients that are being robbed by many people. His keen sense of smell can also ensure that the ingredients he buys are fresh and authentic.

    Jin Nugget never stopped drooling.

    ¡°It really likes to eat seafood, but Luke doesn¡¯t cook much and doesn¡¯t buy much.

    Compared with pigs, cattle and sheep, buying seafood is really troublesome.

    Luke doesn¡¯t like low-quality seafood and will not buy it.

    Now that the big devil has taken the initiative to come to this Feng Shui treasure land, and even said that he bought it specifically for him, he is really going crazy with joy.

    Similarly, Jin Nugget is indifferent to the expensiveness of the ingredients and chooses purely according to his own preferences.

    Selena has developed a tacit understanding with it. You can almost tell what it is looking at just by listening to its chirping and looking at where its eyes are.

    Gold Nugget¡¯s sense of smell is also exaggerated, and Mei Dao¡¯s big nose is not in vain.

      Fresh prawns, lobsters, groupers, and tuna were all purchased in large quantities, while other crabs, sea urchins, etc. were only purchased in moderate amounts.

    These are what Gold Nugget likes, and Luke and Selina only have a taste of them.

    But there is only one thing that both Selena and Gold Nugget are interested in.

    That¡¯s the king crab.

    Generally speaking, king crabs from the Bering Strait are only fished and marketed in September and October every year, while king crabs from Chile, South America, are marketed in large quantities in July every year.

    Although it is only June 10th, a small amount of Chilean king crabs are still flowing out from some channels.

    However, the price is much more exaggerated than it was one month later.

    Listening to the Chinese shop owner introducing the delicacy of the "only" Chilean king crab, the two foodies beside Luke opened their mouths at the same time, and the saliva of Mei Dao flowed out crazily and mixed into the beach at the door.

    Selena was better, she finally remembered to swallow, but her longing eyes were also cast over her.

    Luke waved his hand: "I want them all."

    After saying that, he moved closer to the forty-year-old Chinese boss and lowered his voice: "I won't bargain with you, but give me ten more of these."

    The Chinese boss showed a bewildered smile: ¡°These are the only two.¡±

    Luke raised his eyebrows: "At this price, pay immediately in cash." As he said that, he took out two rolls of hundred-dollar bills and threw them to the proprietress at the counter two meters away.

    The Chinese boss¡¯s smile faltered.

    The boss lady, who is also Chinese, passed the bills with her fingers flying faster than the money detector, and nodded to the boss.

    She held the two rolls of beautiful knives tightly in her hands, obviously not wanting to let go.

    The Chinese boss¡¯s smile suddenly became brighter: ¡°Then wait, I¡¯ll help you go to other places to ask.¡±

    Luke also smiled and nodded, watching the boss greet the proprietress in the shop and then walked to the back of the shop.

    Selina was surprised: "Didn't he say this thing is scarce? Where would he find it?"

    Luke put his mouth to her ear: "You believe him! This bad old man is very bad. He has stocks in the back of the store, but they are all displayed. How can he be called the "only" king crab?  How to drive up the market price?"

    Selena: ¡Ñ0¡Ñ!

    The price given by the owner of this store is too high even for scarce goods, otherwise she would not be able to see this king crab.

    Fortunately, on the way here, Luke had already mentioned to her that he had made a lot of extra money by going to Antarctica this time, otherwise she would have been mumbling all day long, calling him a waste.

    Well, even though the two of them are rich, Selena has not had the habit of wasting money since she was a child.

    Not long after, the "bad old man" shop owner came back, saying something like "I finally got the goods together."

    Luke was too lazy to say anything more and interrupted directly: "Okay, I gave you all the money, but you still want to increase the price." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
