My Ares Son-in-Law

Jiuseju, just like its signature dish, contains endless temptation and mystery. It is not only the logo of a restaurant, but also the epitome of the unique charm of this sea area.

It is said that in this deep blue sea, there lives a kind of fish never seen before. They are dressed in colorful clothes, like a rainbow in the sea, gorgeous and dazzling. However, under this beauty lies a hidden danger. These fish contain deadly poisons, and people dare not touch them easily.

But it is this danger that gives them supreme value - once the poison sac is skillfully removed, their meat becomes the ultimate delicacy, making people salivate. This is the origin of the Nine-Colored Drunk Fish.

Jiang Yulan stood in front of the door of Jiuseju, her eyes gleaming with excitement that was hard to conceal. Although she had never tasted this legendary delicacy herself, her grandfather's description had already planted the seeds of yearning in her heart.

Whenever it was late at night, her longing for the Nine-Colored Drunkard Fish would come flooding back like a tide, making it hard for her to fall asleep. Now, she finally had the opportunity to witness and taste this legendary delicacy with her own eyes, and her mood was naturally indescribable.

In addition to her desire for delicious food, Jiang Yulan had another plan in mind. She knew that the Dead Island Reef, as a holy place for treasure hunters, attracted explorers from all over the world.

As an important landmark on the island, Jiuseju is naturally a great place for these explorers to exchange information and share intelligence. She hopes to capture some useful clues from the conversations of diners while enjoying the food, which will add a boost to her treasure hunt.

Therefore, when Jiang Yulan took Xiao Chen into Jiuseju, her heart was full of anticipation and curiosity. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, and every detail reveals extraordinary taste.

Various marine life specimens are hung on the wall, including colorful fish of various shapes, making people feel as if they are in a miniature underwater world.

The air was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of the Nine-Colored Drunken Fish. It was like an invisible force, attracting everyone's taste buds and also attracting Jiang Yulan's curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

The two strolled out of the spacious and orderly parking lot of the compound. Under their feet were the carefully paved stone roads and on both sides were neatly trimmed bushes. Everything seemed so harmonious and noble.

As we walk closer, the unique and elegant appearance of Jiuseju gradually comes into view. Its architectural style cleverly combines modern and classical elements, making it unforgettable at first sight.

Xiao Chen's eyes inadvertently swept across the vehicles in the parking lot, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. All of those vehicles were luxury cars, shining with the unique luster of metal, which was even more dazzling in the sun.

The car logos are different, ranging from the low-key luxury of well-known domestic brands to the bold personality of top international brands. They are parked there in an orderly manner, as if silently telling the identity and status of the car owners.

What surprised Xiao Chen even more was that these vehicles were not only from the local area, but also from surrounding provinces and even further afield, and some even had international license plates. This made him secretly speculate that these car owners might have heard the legend of the Nine-Colored Drunken Fish and came from afar just to taste the legendary delicacy.

He noticed that many of these vehicles were transported to the island by ferry. It is important to know that the ferry fee is not cheap, and it also takes a lot of time and effort. However, for these people, all this seems to be nothing. They are willing to pay such a price for their persistence and pursuit of food. Xiao Chen's thoughts were drawn back to the nine-color drunk fish. He remembered that he had heard someone mention that this fish was highly sought after for its unique color and rare taste, and the price was naturally high. It is said that the price of a nine-color drunk fish is at least 100,000 yuan, and it is limited in supply, with only 30 fish available for diners every day. Once it is sold out, you can only wait until the next day.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel lucky that he came early today. He glanced at Jiang Yulan beside him and saw that her face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and she was obviously looking forward to the Nine-Colored Drunken Fish she was about to taste.

The two of them walked slowly into the restaurant, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity in their steps, and finally stopped in front of the elegantly decorated counter. Under the soft light, the display next to it was like a small stage, clearly displaying the remaining dishes of the day, among which the words "Four Nine-Colored Drunk Fish for Sale" were particularly eye-catching, as if it was a surprise specially reserved for them.

Jiang Yulan's eyes lit up instantly, and in that light was both the excitement of discovering a treasure and the cherishment of the beautiful moments in life.

She gently pulled the sleeve of Xiao Chen beside her, and their eyes met at this moment. There was no need for words, as the same joy was surging in each other's hearts.

Xiao Chen's mouth corners also lifted unconsciously, and his eyes revealed an indescribable satisfaction and happiness. Yes, after half a lifetime of hard work, now he can enjoy this rare leisure and delicious food, what's wrong with that?
"Hello, waiter." Jiang Yulan's voice was filled with some uncontrollable excitement. She politely and warmly greeted the waiter who was busy arranging the tableware. The waiter turned around with a professional and warm smile on his face, as if he could instantly see through the mood of each customer.

"We...we want to order a nine-colored drunken fish." Jiang Yulan paused for a moment, as if she was savoring the sweetness of this decision, and as if she was warming up her mood for the upcoming delicacy.

She originally had a small extravagant wish in her heart, wanting to share a portion with Xiao Chen, but then she thought, the rules of Jiuseju are unique and particular, and each group of guests can only taste the unique flavor of one fish. This is not only a respect for food, but also a sense of ritual in life.

So she decided to follow this tradition and keep this rare experience as a memory for the two of them.

Xiao Chen nodded silently, his eyes full of support and approval for Jiang Yulan's decision. He knew that whether it was alone or with someone else, the important thing was the feeling.

Although this rule is like a tiny crack in a fine net, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the flaw at a glance, Jiuseju is famous for its rigorous style. If one really wants to investigate it, it is only a matter of time before the truth is found out.

Once the invisible eyes catch any clues of violation, it means a permanent farewell to this food palace. For any diner, this is an unbearable price to pay.

"I'm so sorry, beautiful lady," the waitress' voice was full of sincere apology. She bowed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "The last four nine-colored drunken fish have been locked by that gentleman in advance." (End of this chapter)
