Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
This could be considered fickle; he immediately felt that the Russian guy was much cuter than Sam and Ram.
By the time we finished our round trip, it was already noon.
Chen Rou was also starving, so she was about to go to the canteen to find something to eat. Just as she was about to get off the yacht, Song Yuanchao came over in a kayak and brought a bowl of soup: "Hurry up and drink this first."
He then said, "Come with me, I'll take you to eat."
It was really inconvenient to walk back and forth between the ships. When the two arrived at 002, a reconnaissance ship, in the narrow mess hall, there were two bowls on the table. Awei and Ahu were each holding one and chatting happily.
Of course, seeing Chen Rou arrive, the two of them went out to the stern of the boat.
Upon seeing the food, Chen Rou exclaimed, "You've asked the cafeteria to prepare special meals for me, and such elaborate ones at that!"
Actually, it wasn't anything fancy. It was just a plate of sesame oil chicken, a bowl of cordyceps stewed with sea cucumber, a plate of green vegetables, and a bowl of white rice. Chen Rou was also quite hungry, so she ate it all up, almost licking the plate clean.
Song Yuanchao ate large steamed buns, specifically golden steamed buns, filled with pickled vegetables, and served with a side of stir-fried cabbage.
Golden steamed buns have a nice name, but they are actually made by breaking up and crumbling leftover old steamed buns, then putting them into new dough and steaming them. Because they are steamed repeatedly, they turn yellow, so people jokingly call them golden steamed buns.
As for cabbage, it doesn't spoil no matter how it's stored, and it becomes a staple vegetable when at sea for extended periods.
Seeing Chen Rou put down her bowl, Song Yuanchao asked, "Do you feel nauseous?"
It's strange, she usually feels dizzy and nauseous when she's lying down at home, but she doesn't feel that way at all today.
Chen Rou also said, "It's strange, not only do I not feel nauseous, but I also have a big appetite. I'm still not full."
He broke off half of Song Yuanchao's steamed bun, then soaked some vegetable juice from his jar, and chewed it with gusto: "It smells so good, I want to eat it."
Song Yuanchao hurriedly asked the canteen for another half bowl of soup, which was rather bland, along with a hot steamed bun. Chen Rou ate it all before letting out a satisfied burp and saying, "Let Captain Yue draw the map first. I'm going to take a nap and will help him with the corrections when I wake up."
She yawned and left, and Song Yuanchao immediately went to find the boss to recount what had just happened.
Nearly two months into her pregnancy, Chen Rou had lost several pounds due to a poor appetite, and looked pale and thin.
But surprisingly, her appetite returned and she was able to eat again on this turbulent sea.
Nie Zhao instructed Secretary An: "A balanced diet of chicken, duck, fish, and meat is best, but the fish we brought..."
He asked Secretary An to make an emergency purchase and bring food, but fish doesn't keep well and will become stale after a while.
Secretary An was also at her wit's end. The fish and shrimp were all spoiled because of the heat at sea and the small refrigerator. It was better not to eat them at all. What should she do?
But then Kwong suddenly said, "I just saw a blackfin tuna in the sea, want to catch a couple?"
