Eating crayfish is more about eating crayfish, do you know? Divided into old school and new school. The representative of the old school is an old self-proclaimed lobster physiotherapist. He created lobster to soothe the mind, and the secret recipe of love treats all kinds of unhappiness. The representative of the new school is the post-90s light rain, which is famous for the red lobster. Great stall style. The old school and the new school coexist in harmony and jointly run a restaurant called Geek Lobster.
