After hearing Yan Xiaoxi's call, Chen Yuan became a little nervous.
When you meet your parents, there seems to be a big fight?
"Do you have any cigarettes? Give me one." Chen Yuandao said.
Zhou Sheng took out cigarettes and a lighter, lit one first, and then handed it to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and opened the window to get some air.
The wind hits your face, like a knife shaving your face. This winter seems to be extremely cold...
"I'm nervous." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yuan and said with a smile.
"No."
"Obviously." Yan Xiaoxi quietly hugged Chen Yuan under the blanket: "Don't be afraid, my parents are very easy to talk to."
The weather is good today.
After the fog cleared, the sun was shining brightly.
However, if you are in the car, you still have to turn on the air conditioner. On the highway behind, there are more and more cars, and the speed has slowed down.
It’s been many years since I’ve been back. Chengdu seems to be a much bigger city.
As the sky grew dark, Chen Yuan looked at the navigation system: "Next exit, get off the highway."
"I know." Chen Xin said, "It's not far."
Soon we got off the highway, continued to follow the navigation, and soon entered the mountain...
It's past seven o'clock, and the navigation prompts that there is still one kilometer left.
One kilometer journey, not a moment.
Chen Yuan started to sort out his clothes and was almost there.
"Is this right here?" Chen Xin saw the signboard of Fuli Villa and asked.
Yan Xiaoxi nodded: "Go in and go straight. This is the back road of the villa."
When you enter Fuli Villa, you will find an orchard. It is very dark and you can’t even see what kind of fruit trees they are.
Yan Xiaoxi continued to point the way, and not far after entering, she saw a small foreign-style building with a fire burning in the yard and a group of people warming up around it.
Chen Xin drove the car in.
When the car stopped, Yan Xiaoxi opened the door first, got out of the car and shouted: "Dad, mom, second uncle, younger uncle, second aunt, younger aunt...brother Xiao Ming."
"Sister." Yan Xiaoxi shouted with a smile.
Chen Yuan also got out of the car, and Yan Xiaoxi pulled him over: "My boyfriend, Chen Yuan."
"Uncle, aunt, second uncle, younger uncle..." Chen Yuan shouted after him.
Yan Fuli looked at Chen Yuan, smiled and nodded: "You guys drove all the way here, you must be tired."
Chen Yuan shook his head.
Chen Xin and Zhou Sheng also got out of the car. Chen Yuan introduced them: "My sister, Chen Xin. This is Zhou Sheng, my friend...we came back together."
Xiaoxi's mother brought them stools: "Sit down and warm yourself over the fire for a while, and then eat."
"Mom, Chen Yuan brought you a gift." Yan Xiaoxi winked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan hurried over and opened the tailgate: "Zhou Sheng, come here and help lift it."
"Here we come."
Chen Yuan climbed up and first took down a box of Maotai. Zhou Sheng took it and put it next to him...
Chen Yuan then took down the oysters, abalone, and lobster.
"We left after six o'clock yesterday afternoon. These should still be fresh, but they need to be put in the refrigerator to freeze." Chen Yuan said.
Yan Fuli looked at the largest white foam box at the back of the car. It was very big and looked like a coffin containing people. It was a bit visceral.
Because of the foam box, Chen Yuan and the others were checked several times on the road.
"Dad, there is tuna in the box, a very big one." Yan Xiaoxi said.
Yan Fuli said "hmm" and said, "Just come here. It's very troublesome to bring so many things."
Chen Yuan first moved two slightly smaller boxes to the back of the car. Zhou Sheng helped him and Yan Fuli lifted them down: "What's in here?"
"Squid. Is dinner ready?"
"It's past seven o'clock now. The meal has been prepared long ago and is waiting for you." Yan Fuli said with a smile.
Finally, the big guy tuna.
Chen Yuan's box
He pushed the fish out, then got off the car, and carried it with Zhou Sheng: "This fish needs to be broken down when we bring it to the kitchen, otherwise it will be too big to put away."
Yan Fuli's scalp was numb. He looked at Chen Yuan and saw that this young man was still very handsome, but he felt naive. How could this be the first time for his father-in-law to give him these things?
It's too exaggerated.
Zhou Sheng carried the box and looked at Chen Yuan, holding back a smile.
It is indeed a bit strange to lift a large foam box with such a shape. It is awkward to lift.
Yan Xiaoming came over and said, "Sister, what's inside?"
"Bluefin tuna." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"Isn't it delicious?"
"tasty."
After carrying the tuna under the eaves, Xiaoxi's father went over and put two tables together: "How big is this fish?"
"More than a hundred kilograms." Yan Xiaoxi said, "It seems to be one hundred and eighty kilograms."
"Oh, it's not small."
This box was inspected and opened on the way. When I opened the box, a big fish appeared.
"How do you eat such a big fish?" Xiao Xi's mother asked.
"Sashimi, pan-fried, and shabu-shabu are all available." Yan Xiaoxi said, "It can also be grilled."
There was also a knife specially designed to cut tuna inside the box. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng lifted the tuna to the table.
Zhou Sheng himself was embarrassed and looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's scalp was also numb. A group of people looked at him, and he looked like a ***: "Uncle, can you cut the tuna into pieces?"
Yan Fuli nodded: "Let's divide it. I don't know how to do this."
As of last night, the tuna has defrosted naturally and is ready to eat.
Yan Xiaoxi said: "Save some for sashimi."
"Okay." Chen Yuandao said, "Would you like to bake a piece?"
"How to bake?"
"The fish bones from the fish head are particularly fragrant when grilled."
"Let's divide it first."
Chen Yuan took the knife, first cut off the fish head, and then divided it. Chen Yuan knew how to cut tuna, but he rarely did it in practice, but he had great strength and steady hands.
Soon, the most essential large fat and medium fat were separated. The meat looked pink and was particularly rich in oil.
"I'm going to get some dipping water." Yan Xiaoxi went to the kitchen.
Yan Fuli looked at Chen Yuan and came up to help: "What should we do with these tuna?"
"Is there an ultra-low temperature freezer?" Chen Yuandao said.
"have."
Those who run villas still have these things.
"After dividing it, wrap it and freeze it."
Yan Fuli said "hmm".
"Mom." Yan Xiaoxi shouted.
"What are you doing?"
"There is some seafood in the box. Take it out and make some more dishes."
Chen Xin went over to help and opened the boxes of oysters, abalone, Pippi shrimp, and Xiao Qinglong.
The oysters and abalone are all fresh. The shrimps and green dragons are frozen, but they have been thawed now.
It's winter now, the temperature is very cold, these things are definitely not broken.
"Why do you bring so many things?" Xiao Xi's mother said.
"My brother said he didn't know what to bring when he came here for the first time, so he brought some seaside specialties."
"So much, how much does it cost?"
"I didn't ask for money. My brother's master's eldest brother, we call him uncle. Uncle has fish steaks in Hailing. The two dragons in the two boxes and a few small groupers were all raised by uncle himself.
"Chen Xin said: "He also gave these oysters."
Xiaoxi's mother took a look at the tuna.
Yan Xiaoxi said: "I caught the tuna myself."
Xiaoxi's mother smiled: "We are embarrassed to bring so many things here."
"When we go back in a few days, we will take some back with us." Chen Xin said with a smile.
Xiaoxi's mother smiled and nodded.
With the help of Xiao Xi's father, Chen Yuan quickly cut up the tuna, leaving a piece of medium fat, a piece of sashimi, and some for Xiao Xi's second uncle, who took them back, and packed the rest to the restaurant of the villa.
