After seeing Chen Niaoshu off, Yang Yanzhou rushed back to his office.

"Brother Shen, why did you decide to buy the S-class cargo ship?"

He couldn't understand it at all, so he hurriedly asked.

Lu Yunshen handed him a document, which was the one Lin Ziyan had translated.

He paid too little for translation; he'll have to compensate me later.

Yang Yanzhou suspiciously opened the document and quickly read it through.

He didn't understand the technical parts, but he understood the final summary.

How to convert an S-class cargo ship into the latest model?

This is the most cost-effective way...

But does anyone know how to change it?

He couldn't understand the technical terms marked on the document at all.

"Brother Shen, you didn't pay enough for the translation." Yang Yanzhou noticed.

This isn't a translated document; it's a coded analysis report with hidden agendas.

Lu Yunshen leaned back in his office chair. "The glass we just brought back is perfect as a gift for her."

Yang Yanzhou, "..."

He rolled his eyes. The compensation was a bit stingy, but it was appropriate.

In the fishing village, who doesn't know that the Lin family needs large glass windows to build their house?

“Let’s go to the county town. My sister is treating Jason to dinner there today.” Lu Yunshen suddenly stood up.

Yang Yanzhou was stunned for a few seconds.

Chen Niaoshu just said she was going to the county town, why didn't he say he would come along?

He even made a special trip to take the person to town to catch the bus...

…

At this moment, at Boss Huo's restaurant in the county town.

The restaurant has clearly been renovated; there's a large fish tank at the entrance.

They raise shrimp, crabs, sea fish, and shellfish.

Jason stood at the door for a long time, amazed that someone in this small county town could keep seafood in a pool.

A delicious aroma wafted out, and Jason swallowed hard.

The accompanying secretary looked inside and saw a waiter bringing out a large plate of food.

The aroma was coming from that dish.

Lin Ziyan went to the market and bought a large winter melon, which she and Lu Qiuying carried to the door.

"Why haven't you gone in yet?" Lin Ziyan asked.

Jason stared wide-eyed at the winter melons the two of them were carrying.

He had never seen such a big winter melon.

"Is this what you're planning to feed me for lunch?"

Lu Qiuying waved her hand, "No, seafood hot pot."

"This is for the meal," Lin Ziyan said with a smile.

Just as she finished speaking, Huo Qizhen walked out of the private room inside.

He had clearly been drinking; his neck was slightly red, but his eyes were clear.

"Meal expenses?" Huo Qizhen smiled and looked at Lin Ziyan.

Last time the meal was salt and pepper mantis shrimp, is this time it a giant winter melon?

Lin Ziyan: "Yes, it's for the meal, but you have to decide if it's worth it later. I won't force you to buy or sell."

After she finished speaking, she gave Jason a brief translation.

"Winter melon hot pot?" Jason thought he had misheard and checked again.

Lu Qiuying and Huo Qizhen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anticipation.

It's summer now, and compared to congee hot pot, winter melon hot pot is more anticipated.

Just as the group was about to enter the private room,

Lu Qiuying saw her younger brother walk in through the door, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

I specifically asked her where she was taking Jason to eat this morning, just so we could bump into each other?

"Sister Qiuying!"

“Lu?” Jason looked at him in shock.

He hurried forward, "You're actually in Fuzhou?"

Lu Yunshen: "Mr. Jason, we meet again."

He spoke fluent German.

"I haven't thanked you for what happened last time." Jason held Lu Yunshen's hand tightly.

"It was just a casual thing, you're too kind," Lu Yunshen said casually.

He looked at Lin Ziyan's back, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ziyan had already gone into the kitchen with the chef.

She had some doubts, but didn't think much of it.

Inside the private room,

Jason: "Lu, if I had known you were in Fukushima, I would have stayed a couple more days when I came last time."

"If you hadn't arrived in time that time on the cruise ship, I would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks by those people."

Lu Qiuying pursed her lips, looked at her brother, and drank her tea by herself.

Jason was kidnapped on a cruise ship two years ago, and his health has not improved since then. The international edition of the newspaper reported on it extensively at the time.

Unexpectedly, it was her brother who saved Jason.

"That was really just a coincidence," Lu Yunshen said, not taking credit for it.

The two chatted for a while longer.

The chef appeared carrying a pot with a stove underneath.

The winter melon was cut out, hollowed out, and filled with other ingredients.

A faint fragrance lingers in the air, making you want to take a few more breaths.

White smoke rose, and water was placed around the winter melon.

The chef started putting in the ingredients and then walked out of the private room.

Since there were quite a few people, Lin Ziyan prepared three pots.

"Put the seafood in first, and the winter melon will be ready to eat later..." Lin Ziyan explained the cooking method simply.

Of course, she also prepared dipping sauce for everyone.

This was Jason's first time trying hot pot, and he was initially quite hesitant.

Only after seeing Lu Yun Shen eating with gusto did he begin to pick up some food.

However, he didn't know how to use chopsticks, so he put the food in the bowl with a spoon first, poured some dipping sauce on it, and then tried to eat it.

He took just one bite, and the instant sweetness that filled his mouth made his eyes light up.

Huo Qizhen was equally surprised. He ladled out some soup, took a sip, and was immediately won over by the soup.

The seafood enhances the broth's umami flavor, and when paired with the sweetness of winter melon, it's a perfect match...

"Mr. Huo, you're in too much of a hurry. The soup is meant to be drunk last; it's not flavorful enough yet," Lin Ziyan reminded him.

Huo Qizhen nodded, "This can cover the meal cost, I even made a profit."

Lin Ziyan smiled faintly and remained silent, slowly peeling the shrimp.

She likes to eat crabs, but she doesn't like to peel them, so she just looked at them without picking any up.
