At 12 o'clock midnight, Yigan stood in front of the grilled fish stall with empty hands.

"Boss, I'm sorry, there's nothing today."

Igan was a little embarrassed.

It and Youyouzi had a barbecue party, grilled all the seafood, and used up all the salt.

"It's okay, it's okay. We still have Xiangyu and Huachou fish today. I'll give you one of them. Do you want to eat it?"

Boss Tao said.

"Eh? Me?"

Igan was surprised.

"There are only two of the Huachou fish and Xiangyu fish you brought two days ago. These fish with spiritual power cannot live in ordinary water for a long time. We have to eat them today. So I will do a good deed today and let you eat one."

Yigan: Do one good deed every day when you are full? Thank you for your kindness!

If I had known I wouldn’t have eaten so much barbecue!

There will be a few fish left to sell!

"Why? Don't you want to eat?"

Seeing Yi Gan looking conflicted, Boss Tao asked another question.

But the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he knew that Yigan was very full and couldn't eat another fish.

"eat!"

How could Yigan give up his appetite just for his stomach?

"But not now. I have something to do at Jiuxianmen first. I'll eat when I come back!"

Igan said.

Three days ago, it went into the Nine Immortals Spiritual Goods and bought a lot of things, and also asked the Nine Immortals Spiritual Goods to help it find out about the brothers and sisters. At that time, the Nine Immortals Spiritual Goods asked it to come back in three days, and today was the day to get the information.

"Okay, no problem."

Boss Tao still had a smile on his face. It didn't matter to him when to eat fish.

It’s just that I don’t see Yigan forcing himself to eat even though he’s obviously full.

He told Xiao Chen to hang up the menu sign and began to prepare the ingredients. Today's destined person is destined to eat the fish or the fish.

"Okay!"

Xiao Chen was very diligent today. I wonder what he discussed with Boss Tao yesterday. Maybe a pay raise? Maybe Boss Tao gave him some benefits?

Yigan didn't ask any more questions. He was more concerned about the recent situation of his brothers and sisters.

He said hello to the owner of the grilled fish stall and left, and following closely behind Yigan, the person who had ordered from the random menu today also came.

A girl in her late 30s, dressed in a very individual way, seemed to live a very elegant and comfortable life.

But there were corners of her mouth that couldn't be opened, brows that couldn't be smoothed, and her whole body seemed to be enchanted, blocking everyone out with a deep melancholy.

"What do you want to eat? We have fish, shrimp, fried or anything else."

Xiao Chen greeted.

"casual."

The guest answered.

"Uh... I'll help you choose it then. Are there any taboos?"

Xiao Chen has met many indecisive guests, and he has his own set of greeting formulas.

"It's all right."

But the guest's answer broke Xiao Chen's formula.

"Would you like some rice?"

"casual."

"Do you want spicy food?"

"casual."

"Would you like a smaller one or a larger one?"

"It's all right."

This was the first time Xiao Chen had encountered such a customer, and he was completely unable to recommend food based on the customer's preferences.

So he recommended the casual menu.

"it is good."

The guest finally gave a definite answer.

The guest found a table and sat down, and it seemed that even the tables and chairs around her were blocking her out. Xiao Chen looked at her and always felt that she could not approach this guest with words or kindness. Even if she stood next to the guest, she still felt like she was being rejected thousands of miles away.

At an angle where he couldn't see, the guest took out his mobile phone, which contained the social media update posted an hour ago.

"Why do people have to keep going around in circles between work, house, and car? There are also time limits."

Only a few people saw it. Some gave her love, some gave her hugs, but her boyfriend and brother, who were closest to her, just watched.

Work for money, money for house and car. House and car for marriage, marriage for happiness.

This is a very simple, single line of logic.

She had been saving money since she was young, expecting to live a happy life when she grew up. When she grew up, she also had a stable boyfriend. The boy's conditions were not particularly good, but he was a good person and loved her very much. She thought that as long as the two of them worked hard to make money and prepare little by little for buying a car, a house and wedding expenses, they would be able to live a happy life in a few years.

It wasn't until she was 26 that she and her boyfriend counted the money they had and it seemed not enough.

She worked harder to make money.

She even stopped traveling and completely gave up doing her favorite thing.

She became a complete work machine, working hard, cutting costs, and working diligently without a break for several years.

Until today, my mother asked her the question that she only asked during the Chinese New Year:

"When do you plan to get married? You are already 30 years old. If you don't get married, how will you have the energy to have children and take care of them?"

She doesn't know what 30 means to a man. Is it maturity? Is it the golden age of career? Or is it the approach of the midlife crisis?

She feels that for girls, turning 30 is like a death alarm clock, constantly reminding themselves that time is running out and some things will become very urgent and important. If they don't do them, they will be derelict in their identity as women and have not done what a woman should do.

She became anxious and fell into depression.

There was a voice in her heart that urged her to lie down and not live such a hard life. But her mind was in a mess and she did not listen to it immediately.

Until this moment, she was still thinking, still struggling, and still hesitating.

She is 30 years old. As a woman, how should she live?

"Sorry, sir, your fried fish is a bit spicy. It will taste better if you add some lime!"

A pungent spicy smell woke her up, and Xiao Chen put the fried fish in front of the customer with a slight apology.

A fish and a lime.

Boss Tao only made this small dish for her.

The customer didn't care. She loved spicy food, and this kind of spicy taste was just right for her. After taking out a tissue to wipe her hands, she squeezed the lime hard, pouring all the juice over the whole fish.

A piece of fish is scooped out and dipped in pungent chili and slightly sour lime juice. The customer starts drooling before he even puts the fish into his mouth.

Don’t think about anything and just eat it in one bite.

A burning sensation instantly filled the entire mouth.

“Ha~~~~”

The hot and spicy special chili sauce almost covered the taste of the fish, and the only way to explore the original taste of the fish was with the help of the sour taste of the lime juice. It was delicious, but the taste was not rich enough.

"Boss! Can you give me another lime?"

The guest raised his hand and asked.

"Sorry, we're out of limes."

Boss Tao ignored Xiao Chen's hand that was already on the box of limes and replied personally.

The guests had no choice but to desperately pursue that sour taste.

Why does it look so much like the job and money that I’ve been pursuing?
