Chapter 204 Are you crazy?
"Wow, Xika, look, there are so many varieties of seafood here?"

"Yeah, apart from the seafood market, there are very few restaurants that have so much live seafood, and the seafood here are all so big?"

Jessica Jung picked up a scallop that was several times larger than her face from the breeding pond and gestured to Sunny.

At this time, Sunny looked at the scallops in Jessica Jung's hand and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, even when I went to the seafood market in Busan last time, I never saw scallops this big."

“And there are actually live king crabs here.”

"Not only this, but this kind of live Arctic clams is the first time I've seen it in any store other than Japanese restaurants."

"."

Huang Xu looked at the two girls in front of him who were standing in front of the seafood tanks on the third floor of the restaurant and were making a lot of noise. He had no intention of going up to disturb them, but instead took out his mobile phone and started filming.

He now regretted not taking out his camera to take pictures when he heard the two people say they were not interested in seafood in the car.

Otherwise, it would be quite interesting to put together the way they spoke then and the way they are shouting now, and watch them slapping themselves in the face.

However, although there is no video of them in the car, the video of them screaming in surprise at the seafood is also a good choice.

So Huang Xu quietly held his mobile phone and filmed their actions.

However, he did not keep filming. Instead, after seeing what seafood the two were interested in, he directly asked the store to pick up the ingredients they were interested in and prepare to taste them later.

Just a few minutes later, when the two of them were still excitedly observing the seafood kept at the door of the store, they heard the middle-aged aunt who had been following them speaking Korean.

"That's enough. The three of you can't finish all the seafood we ordered now."

"Omo, is that all?"

Sunny turned her head and looked at the tray next to the aunt and found that a lot of seafood had indeed been fished out.

But then she reacted and looked at the other person with surprise.

"(a zu mo ni), do you speak Korean?"

"I don't speak Korean."

When the other party heard what Sunny said, he was obviously stunned, and then he explained directly:

“Although I don’t speak Korean, I am of Korean ethnicity and I can speak Korean.”

"When I heard you talking just now, I thought you were Koreans?"

"I was wondering why it sounded so strange, so you guys are Korean."

"not me."

Sunny looked at the aunt in front of her with some shock. She was obviously shocked that she could speak Korean. At the same time, she was also quite interested in the Korean ethnic group she mentioned.

After all, although her accent was problematic, it was clearly in the same vein as Korean, which made her a little curious.

In her opinion, the only two countries that speak Korean are South Korea and North Korea.

So what is this Korean ethnic group she is talking about?

And it wasn't just her. Jessica Jung, who had been next to her, also looked at her with curiosity, wanting to know what was going on.

Huang Xu naturally saw this situation, but it was difficult to explain it now. After the aunt left with the seafood and the three of them returned to the private room, he began to explain to the two curious people.

"The Korean ethnic group is a minority in China. There are probably more than one million of them now. Most of them migrated from your country and North Korea."

"But many of them did not migrate recently. Some of them moved earlier and have lived here for three or four hundred years."

"Many of them fled here during the chaotic times of the last century."

"."

Following Huang Xu's explanation, Sunny and Jessica Jung slowly realized that in addition to North Korea and South Korea, there are so many Koreans living in China.

Therefore, after listening to Huang Xu's explanation, they were also very shocked.

"Omo, this is the first time I know that we still have so many compatriots in China."

"Yes, no one has ever told us about these things, and there is no content about them in the textbooks."

"Is this the end?"

Huang Xu looked at the two shocked people, and then revealed a meaningful expression.

"In addition to China, there are actually quite a few Koreans in Russia, but the number there is not as large as in China, only about a hundred thousand."

"That's a lot."

After listening to this, Sunny felt a little emotional.

No one had ever told them this information when they were in China.

Whether it is the textbooks for primary and secondary schools or when they enter society, there is basically no information related to this group of people.

She knew that the government would conceal some information, but she never thought that now there are so many compatriots living abroad besides South Korea and North Korea.

Therefore, they couldn't help but feel a little sad that the information they learned when they were in China was really one-sided.

But before she could sigh for long, she was attracted by the ingredients that the aunt had just brought to the table.

The first thing she served was six scallops that were several times larger than her face.

The diameter of these scallops is about 20 centimeters, and each weighs about one and a half pounds.

The cleaned scallops have snow-white flesh, and the orange-red paste hidden within it, which looks very tempting.

Therefore, after the aunt brought it to the table, she and Jessica Jung's eyes were focused on the scallops and they couldn't move away.

Indeed, this scallop is indeed tempting.

When they were in Korea, they actually ate seafood often.

After all, South Korea is a peninsula, and various marine resources are relatively abundant. Therefore, in their daily lives, various seafood is used to make delicious food, which occupies a large proportion of their diet.

Although high-end seafood is not cheap, for popular idols like them, this expense is still a drop in the bucket.

But she had never seen such a scallop bigger than her face in Korea, and the scallop paste was so plump, which was even rarer.

So while waiting for the scallops to mature, Sunny asked Huang Xu with some doubts.

“Why are all the seafood here so big?”

"And there are so many varieties here, many of which I haven't seen in Korea."

After hearing Sunny’s question, Jessica Jung immediately added.

Now she recalled what they had just said in the car, about how she was not interested in seafood, and she just felt a little pain on her face.

Similarly, I am also curious about why there are so many fresh seafood here.

Although this place is by the sea, South Korea is also by the sea.

Looking at the map, they are not far from South Korea.

And after getting off the plane and seeing the buildings on both sides of the road, I knew that the economy here is not very developed and it cannot be compared with the big cities in South Korea.

So why are there so many kinds of seafood here, and the quality of the seafood even seems to be much better than that of the Busan seafood market?

You have to know that the place Huang Xu brought them to was not a big restaurant, but just a common one on the roadside.

Therefore, she also looked at Huang Xu with curiosity.

Huang Xu looked at the two people and immediately perked up. At the same time, he was also moved inwardly. "It seems that the information I looked up some time ago has come in handy."

So Huang Xu began to tell the story in front of the two people's surprised gazes.

It turns out that although this is just an ordinary prefecture-level city in China, its geographical location is quite special as it is located near the border of three countries.

Due to its geographical location, Russia is one of the world's largest seafood fishing countries. Many of the seafood they catch in colder waters are shipped to nearby ports and then sold across China by land transportation.

That’s why even though it’s just a small city, it has so much fresh and high-quality seafood.

At the same time, it is also a very famous seafood processing production base in China.

For example, most of the pollack, the most common fish in Korea, is processed in nearby processing plants and then exported to Korea.

This is also the reason why Huang Xu came here.

This is because there are rich fishery resources and various supporting processing industry chains here.

Now Huang Chao and Zhang Rui are in a factory not far away, making various fine adjustments to the fish fillets used in making sauerkraut fish.

And because the resources here are relatively abundant, many kinds of seafood are basically imported from the port here. Therefore, the price of seafood here is relatively cheap.

After Huang Xu finished his story, Sunny hadn't asked anything yet, but Jessica Jung next to her had some doubts.

"Then why are these seafood rarely seen in Korea?"

"If these seafood were shipped to South Korea, the price would probably be a bit higher."

"Forehead."

Huang Xu was also stunned at this time. He really didn’t know why so many big and good seafood were not shipped to South Korea.

However, after thinking about it carefully in his mind, he had some guesses.

"It's probably a matter of market size and tariffs."

After all, South Korea's population is only tens of millions, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

Therefore, compared with China, South Korea's market size is much smaller. At the same time, don't forget that in order to protect its own industries, South Korea has very high tariffs on imported materials.

After Huang Xu gave a brief explanation, he picked up a pair of scissors and cut the scallops that had been grilled on the grill into small pieces directly on the scallop shells. Then he extended an invitation to the two people who were waiting anxiously.

"Okay, forget about that. The scallops are already cooked. Go and taste them."

"Ok."

The two girls, who had only eaten some snacks on the plane from morning till now, were no longer concerned about why these seafoods were no longer available in Korea. Instead, they directly reached out their chopsticks for the scallop meat that Huang Xu had just cut.

After they took the snow-white scallop meat into their mouths, their eyes instantly widened and they said something with emotion.

"Wow, that's so sweet!"

"How can scallop meat be so sweet?"

"Of course, this is the taste of fresh seafood itself."

Seeing the shocked expressions of Sunny and Jessica Jung, Huang Xu also stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite, and found that their shock was not unreasonable.

After the fresh scallops are cleaned and grilled directly over charcoal without adding any seasoning, you can really taste the fresh and sweet flavor of the scallops themselves.

Although they had eaten a lot of scallops before, those scallops, although sweet and fresh, were not as rich as the ones in front of them.

Therefore, after tasting the sweetness of the scallops, the three of them couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

In addition to the sweetness of scallops when eaten plain, the scallops also taste quite good after adding the various seasonings provided by the store.

So the three of them finished all six scallops weighing more than one pound in less than ten minutes.

Although they were still not full, they did not order other seafood. After all, the other seafood they ordered at the door just now were being served one after another.

A large table was filled with steamed king crabs and Russian crabs, as well as fresh Arctic scallops and Mabe.

And these seafoods are basically cooked by steaming or charcoal grilling to maintain the original fresh and sweet taste of the ingredients.

As for the scallop shells they had just eaten, they ordered two servings of domestic Wagyu beef cooked in scallop shells based on the store owner’s recommendation, which also had a unique flavor.

In short, the three of them enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner in this small restaurant.

And when it came time to pay the bill, Sunny and Jessica were a little surprised when they saw the amount on the bill.

After all, they ate so many high-end seafood and only spent more than a thousand yuan, which is really unexpected.

You have to know that if you put the things here in Seoul, you can't enjoy them with this little money.

At the same time, I also understood why these seafoods are rarely seen in Korean markets.

After all, a meal costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of won, and not many people can afford it.

After dinner, the three of them, led by Huang Xu, first went to the hotel where he stayed yesterday, picked up their luggage, and then went straight to a high-end hotel in the city center.

It’s not that the hotel he stayed in yesterday was worse, but because when he came yesterday, in order to facilitate work, he stayed directly in a motel near the factory.

Huang Chao and Zhang Rui also lived there when they came here.

But now that Sunny and Jessica Jung are here, Huang Xu naturally can't live there anymore.

It was not a motel and was not qualified to receive foreign guests, and Huang Xu didn't really want Sunny to live in such a place.

After all, he had already made plans for the evening. If he wanted to have a good time with Sunny all night, he naturally needed a better environment.

So when Huang Xu took Sunny to the hotel and arranged their rooms, it was already past three in the afternoon.

After a brief chat, Jessica Jung left Huang Xu and Sunny's room and returned to her room to rest.

Huang Xu looked at Jessica Jung as she left, and then looked at Sunny.

"Sunny, why did she follow you here today?"

"I do not know either."

Sunny looked at Huang Xu with a very confused expression on her face. She didn't know why Jessica Jung followed her here.

Although she now had some guesses, after seeing Huang Xu's attitude towards her today, she couldn't say too much. She could only wait for Jessica Jung to make a move.

Huang Xu looked at Sunny's confused expression and knew that she also had no idea why Jessica Jung followed her, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Forget it, forget about her. If she doesn't say anything, then just pretend she doesn't exist."

After Huang Xu finished speaking, he turned his attention to Sunny who was taking things out of the suitcase.

Especially the seductive curve of her plump upper body against the clothes.

How could a young man who had been "widowed" for more than ten days continue to endure this?

So he tiptoed behind Sunny, hugged her slender waist from behind, and picked her up.

Then he ignored her struggle and whispered softly in her ear:
"Sunny, aren't you going to check if I've been having affairs lately?"

"Let's check it out carefully now."

However, in the room next to them, Jessica Jung, who was taking things out of the suitcase, seemed to have heard some noise and stopped what she was doing.

After carefully determining the direction, he gently put his ear to the nearest wall with a doubtful expression.

But then she frowned and moved away from the wall.

"It's like this in broad daylight, are you crazy?"
