The next day, Lu Han took a day off and drove Tang Su to Hua City's largest seafood market early in the morning.
Hua City isn't by the sea, so to eat seafood there means paying extra for air freight.
If you want to buy the freshest, you have to get to the seafood market before dawn and wait for the goods to arrive. Some stall owners, to start the day on a lucky note, offer discounts at opening.
Lu Han wasn't concerned about the discount, but arriving early meant he could choose the good stuff. If you go late, you're left with others' leftovers, which just isn't as nice.
If he were buying for a casual meal, going in the afternoon would suffice, but since it was for Master Long, Lu Han naturally wanted to get the best.
Master Long grew up in a coastal city, playing by the sea since his childhood, enjoying the seafood brought back by the adults from their voyages.
