Chen Yuan picked six lobsters, the smallest ones weighing more than three kilograms, and two red star groupers, and set off.
The lobsters are placed in foam boxes and the groupers are frozen.
I still drove the Dabai fishing boat to Suva.
Dabai is a very extreme ship. Counting its empty weight, it is only a dozen tons, but it has three V10 engines. With its sharp bow and powerful flying bricks, it can run as fast as fifty knots.
But when it comes to craftsmanship, it’s actually very average.
When cruising at high speed, the roar of the engine and the roar of the wind are so noisy that you have to speak very loudly.
How can I put it, you get what you pay for, it must be fast and it must have a long range...
"What kind of yacht are you going to buy?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Go and have a look, it's best to see the ship." Chen Yuan looked at the time and shouted: "Slow down, the noise will make your ears hurt."
Zhou Sheng switched to three-engine economic cruising. On the boat, the noise was still very loud.
The noise on the boat was so loud that it was difficult to chat.
We were speechless all the way, and it was past four in the afternoon when we arrived in Suva.
Chen Xin called a taxi in advance, parked the boat, and the taxi was waiting outside.
"I'll go to Xiao Xi's house first." Chen Yuan said.
"Let's go together." Chen Xin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'll go over and have a meal too."
"What are you going to do? You can leave when we arrive, and I will go by myself..."
Chen Xin made a face at Chen Yuan.
Zhou Sheng chuckled in front: "Boss, these guys have woken up."
Arriving at Xiao Xi's house, Chen Yuan unloaded his things out of the car, looked at Chen Xin and Zhou Sheng and waved his hands. After they left, Chen Yuan came to the gate...
Somewhat nervous.
Chen Yuan stood in front of the doorbell. There is a camera here...
Chen Yuan took a few deep breaths, rang the doorbell, and looked at the camera.
Yan Xiaoxi's house is very big. It is more than thirty meters from the gate to the villa. Chen Yuan pressed the button several times, and the gate suddenly opened.
Chen Yuan took a look inside with his things and saw Xiao Xi's mother standing at the door of the living room of the villa, so Chen Yuan walked in.
"Auntie." Chen Yuan walked over quickly and shouted.
Xiaoxi's mother said "Hey" and said, "Didn't you go to the island?"
Chen Yuan said: "Zhou Sheng and I went out to catch some lobsters this morning... We have to fly to Singapore tomorrow. We are on the way and can send some to you."
"Go in and sit down." Xiao Xi's mother helped Chen Yuan carry a bag and said.
"Okay." Chen Yuan followed in.
Xiao Xi's mother put the fish in the refrigerator and looked at the lobsters in Chen Yuan's box. These lobsters were caught in the morning and now they don't look particularly energetic.
"Are you going to Singapore?" Xiao Xi's mother said.
"Singapore is holding a boat show. Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin's resort wants to purchase several motorboats and houseboats. Let's go and take a look." Chen Yuandao.
Xiaoxi's mother said "oh".
"Is Xiao Xi at home?" Chen Yuan said.
"Here, let me call her... Yan Xiaoxi... Yan Xiaoxi..."
"Here." Yan Xiaoxi responded: "What are you doing?"
"Chen Yuan is here."
"Come here, come here, if you want to shoot him a cannon."
Xiaoxi's mother looked at Chen Yuan, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Stay and finish eating, I'll go out to cook."
"Okay." Chen Yuan said, "I'll help."
"No, just wait until you eat." Xiao Xi's mother looked at her phone: "Xiao Xi's father should be back soon, please sit down for a while."
"I'll handle the lobster." Chen Yuan stood up and helped take the lobster to the kitchen.
Yan Xiaoxi looked around the stairs and didn't see Chen Yuan, but she heard the sound of Chen Yuan talking to her mother, so she went back upstairs to take a shower and dress up.
The lobsters brought today are relatively large.
Some are sashimi, some are roasted with garlic, and some are steamed with garlic vermicelli.
"What are you doing? It smells so good." Yan Fuli came back with a smile on his face.
Chen Yuan stuck his head out: "Uncle."
Yan Fuli was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face quickly faded. He said "hmm" and glanced at Chen Yuan: "Why are you here?"
Chen Yuan was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to answer: "I'll come over..."
Xiao Xi's mother looked at Yan Fuli displeased: "Chen Yuan caught the lobster and brought it to us."
Yan Fuli said 'hmm' and glanced from the kitchen, but didn't see Yan Xiaoxi: "I'll go upstairs and change clothes."
Yan Fuli went upstairs and saw Yan Xiaoxi who was dressed up, and whispered: "Why is Chen Yuan here?"
"How do I know...he came here by himself." Yan Xiaoxi looked confused.
Yan Fuli looked at Yan Xiaoxi for a few times, sighed, and went back upstairs. In normal times, Yan Xiaoxi never dresses up at home, and usually wears pajamas and pajamas...
Yan Xiaoxi went downstairs and looked inside at the kitchen door: "Why are you here?"
"We went out this morning and caught a lot of lobsters, we couldn't finish them all..." Chen Yuan said.
Yan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan. She hadn't seen him for several years, but he still looked like this. When we were together before, why didn't she realize that he was such a straight man?
If you can’t finish it, you will definitely be ‘delivered’ later.
Chen Yuan also realized that he said something wrong and quickly shut up.
I'm almost done with the kitchen work.
Xiaoxi's mother pushed Chen Yuan: "Leave the rest of the kitchen work to me. You go out and sit."
Chen Yuan walked towards Yan Xiaoxi sarcastically...
"Xiao Xi, give Chen Yuan a cup of tea." Xiao Xi's mother said loudly when she saw Chen Yuan going out.
Yan Xiaoxi brought Chen Yuan a bottle of mineral water and sat on the other end of the sofa.
Chen Yuan turned to look at Yan Xiaoxi. She had long hair, a beautiful floral dress, and a delicate and perfect face... still so cold.
We stayed on the boat for too long, and Chen Yuan's personality was such that when he sat down, he didn't know what to say.
Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi and lowered his head, not knowing how to speak.
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Yuan several times, but she didn't say anything.
The two of them remained silent.
It must have been several minutes.
Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi: "The flowers and plants in the yard are very beautiful, did you raise them?"
"My dad takes care of it."
Yan Xiaoxi is too cold.
In the past, she talked a lot and was cheerful.
Chen Yuan wanted to get close to her, but didn't know what to do.
The atmosphere is so cold.
Chen Yuanru was sitting on pins and needles: "I'll go out and look at the flowers in the yard."
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Yuan: "Go."
After leaving the living room, Chen Yuan took out a cigarette, lit one, and walked into the garden.
The front yard of the villa is very large, with many flowers and plants, but there are not many flowers and plants that Chen Yuan can name.
Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Chen Yuan's tense nerves relaxed a little. Now that he was alone with Yan Xiaoxi, he was nervous, his heartbeat was racing, and he was under great pressure.
Chen Yuan found a shade and sat down. There were gardenias in full bloom next to him, with a delicate and elegant fragrance.
Yan Xiaoxi stood at the door and looked at Chen Yuan for a while, then came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Come out and have a cigarette."
"It's time to eat."
Chen Yuan quickly stood up and followed Yan Xiaoxi into the living room.
Xiaoxi's mother was setting the table, and Yan Fuli came out with the bowls and chopsticks. Chen Yuan was going to help serve the rice, and Yan Fuli said, "Drink some wine."
Chen Yuan nodded.
Yan Fuli took out the beer and handed a can to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan took it and opened it. Seeing that Yan Xiaoxi and Xiaoxi's mother had filled the bowl with rice, Chen Yuan stood up with a beer: "Uncle, here's a toast to you."
Yan Fuli opened his mouth, picked up the beer, touched it with Chen Yuan, and took a sip.
