"Hey, Xiao Zhou is here too, come in quickly, why are you bringing gifts? Didn't I tell you, it's fine as long as people come, you don't have to bring something every time."
Kang Eyang pretended to be angry.
The "future son-in-law"'s family situation is very good. The key is to live up to her own expectations. She is completely satisfied.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare gifts. These things are all benefits issued by our company. We only brought a small part up. There are still a lot downstairs!"
Zhou Yi gasped and explained.
"This is not a holiday. What kind of benefits does your shipyard provide? Open it and see what you have."
"Huh, I'm exhausted." Kang Xiaoyan put down her things and immediately replied: "Mom, our company has finally been generous. This time we sent out two hundred kilograms of whale meat and two hundred kilograms of krill in one go."
"So many? You two together?"
Kang's mother said with surprise on her face.
"No, it's four hundred pounds per person, and Zhou Yi's share has been sent home." Kang Xiaoyan waved her hand.
Zhou Yi immediately echoed: "Auntie, originally I wanted to send some over, but Xiaoyan is right, there are too many things sent out this time, and I guess there is no place to put them. I will buy a freezer and send them over later.
”
"You kid, you are so thoughtful."
"Mom, there are so many things, our family can't finish them all at once, why don't we give a hundred catties to the uncle and the others?" Kang Xiaoyan took the initiative to suggest.
Kang's mother ignored the presence of her "prospective son-in-law" and patted her daughter's arm several times on the spot: "What are you talking about? What time is it now? Our family doesn't even have enough to eat, so how can we take care of your uncle and the others?"
"What are you afraid of? Our factory will continue to provide benefits later." Kang Xiaoyan said without any concern.
“We’ll talk about it after it’s posted.”
Kang Mu has no good airway.
If a daughter is not a householder, she doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
Zhou Yi quickly interrupted: "Auntie, where are uncle and younger brother? Why aren't you at home?"
"They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab mushrooms. There were potatoes and cabbage at home every day, and they were almost hurt."
"Auntie, we still have some canned food at home..."
"No need, it's not easy for anyone at the moment. Your factory has sent out so much stuff this time, it's enough to last until next year, and if you really can't finish it, you can take it out and bring back some other ingredients."
Kang Mu immediately interrupted.
Although the family conditions of the "in-laws" are better, in terms of food, everyone is actually not much different. The few supplies that I had hoarded before have been almost used up.
As for the "plentiful" seafood supply in the market, on the one hand, it lacks seasonings and has low fat content. It is far inferior to pork, beef and mutton in terms of taste and nutrition.
For example, there is a disease called rabbit flesh syndrome.
Since rabbit meat has low fat content, when you simply eat rabbit meat, your body will consume a lot of energy to digest it, but will not get enough energy to replenish it. Therefore, eating rabbit meat often will make people feel weak.
To some extent, seafood is very similar to rabbit meat.
Zhou Yi did not try to persuade him anymore, but stood up and said:
"Auntie, we're going down, it's getting late, and there are still more than three hundred kilograms of meat in the car!"
"I'll come with you!"
"Mom, I don't need your help, just go and cook. Zhou Yi is having dinner at our house tonight. I have never eaten whale meat since I was a kid!"
Kang Xiaoyan pushed her mother into the kitchen.
"Okay, let's cook some braised whale meat later so you can eat it all at once."
After comforting Kang's mother, Zhou Yi and his girlfriend went back and forth seven or eight times before finally moving everything up. The two of them collapsed from exhaustion.
At dinner time, the smell of meat wafted from Kang’s house.
Kang Xiaoyan helped her boyfriend pick up a piece of whale meat:
"Zhou Yi, try it quickly and see if it tastes good?"
Zhou Yi smiled and joked: "Do you think you are treating me as a guinea pig?"
"Hmph, good intentions are nothing but donkey's liver and lungs. Whale meat is still meat after all. If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me."
"I eat, I didn't say I wouldn't eat!"
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he stuffed the whale meat into his mouth.
Brother Kang next to him picked up a piece of whale meat and said while chewing: "It's too fishy, and there's a faint smell, which is far worse than pork."
Despite the low rating, the young man couldn't stop talking
"There is a lack of condiments at home. I only put a little soy sauce, salt and soybean paste, which is a waste of good things."
Kang's mother couldn't help but said with regret.
"Auntie, I think it's okay!" Zhou Yi quickly comforted, "Although the taste of this whale meat is a bit bad, it's soft, waxy and juicy. It tastes a bit like braised pork. This may be the first time for me to eat it.
If you’re not used to it, just wait until you eat it a few more times.”

"Zhou Yi, you are simply overthinking. Do you think he is devouring food like he is not used to it? There are some people who say no with their mouths but confirm their honesty with their bodies. They are duplicitous."
Kang Xiaoyan glanced at her younger brother.
Kang Xiaodi quickly defended: "Sister, you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Even if this whale meat tastes worse than shit, I will still eat it."
"While eating, don't spit shit with your mouth full."
Kang Xiaoyan said with disgust on her face.
Kang's mother gave the siblings a warning look, then pointed to a plate of steamed krill on the dinner table:
"Xiao Zhou, try the shrimp again. This thing is really good, sweet and not fishy at all."
Zhou Yi cooperated and scooped a spoonful of shrimp into his mouth. Not to mention, the taste was much better than whale meat.
"Auntie, it's really good."
"Really? I'll try it too." Kang Xiaoyan followed up and tasted it, "Hey, it's really delicious. What a shame. I wish I had krill."
"You can't say that. Whale meat is actually not bad. It has a lot of fat. We just don't have enough oil at home."
Kang's mother shook her head.
Kang's father immediately echoed: "Your mother is right, whale meat is much better than seafood. Your company has a good vision and has not chosen the wrong target."
"Uncle, whales are mammals. In theory, they are similar to beef and mutton."
Zhou Yi added.
"No wonder, I said, this whale meat is different from ordinary fish meat!"
Kang Mu's mother is enlightened.
……
At the same time, the state capital canteen.
Zhang Jiaqi is having dinner with her colleagues.
"Hey, is today a special day? There is meat?"
A female colleague said in surprise.
Tao Junlin immediately explained: "This is whale meat, sent by Southeast Fishery Company."
This young man is Zhang Jiaqi's romantic partner, and the two of them have never broken the window.
"Southeast Fishery Company? The company that teamed up to go whaling in Antarctica?"
"Yes, they harvested 500,000 tons of fish this time, almost fully loaded with fish."
"Wow, so many?" Everyone exclaimed.
Another female colleague couldn't help but interjected:
"My cousin works at Southeast Fishery. This company pays very well, and ordinary employees can earn 100,000 yuan a month. Who do you think the big boss of this company is?"
