"Miss Fu...aren't you afraid of the deep sea?"
Seeing that Fu Wan showed no sign of backing down, He Guohua was overjoyed and quickly suppressed his excitement to ask her questions.
Fu Wan smiled and shook her head. "Boss He, I am a native fisherwoman. My father taught me to swim and dive in the sea before I was three years old. When I was five, I went out to sea with my father. While he was spearfishing, I was catching crabs in the shallow water."
When I was ten, my brother and I would compete every day in the sea to see who could catch more fish. The deep sea sounds scary, but once you get used to it, it's just like the shallow water.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. In fact, Fu Wan wouldn't have dared to say that in her previous life, but in this life, she swallowed a fish pearl. So, let alone the deep sea that He Guohua and the others mentioned, which is at most about 100 meters deep, even if it's 200 or 300 meters or deeper, Fu Wan wouldn't be afraid.
After Fu Wan finished speaking, Fang Min, who was sitting next to Fu Wan, nodded in agreement, and a smile immediately appeared on her previously expressionless face.
What a joke! Ah Wan is afraid of the deep sea? She has been out to sea with Fu Wan so many times that she knows Fu Wan's swimming skills to a certain extent. Putting aside everything else, when it comes to swimming skills, Fu Wan is second to none.
Let alone fishing from a boat in the deep sea, Fang Min believed that Fu Wan could definitely catch fish directly in the deep sea.
After all, she's seen it all before, and there are far more shocking sights out there. If He Guohua were to see Fu Wan swimming with orcas in the sea, his jaw would probably drop to the ground in astonishment.
Tsk, they really underestimated Fu Wan.
Although Fu Wan said that, He Guohua could not really believe it. The area around Gangcheng was said to be the sea, and he had seen fishermen before.
He Guohua had never met anyone as confident as Fu Wan, who was not afraid of the deep sea at all.
The driver, Ah Cai, who was sitting on the right and holding the steering wheel, also didn't believe it. He looked up at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This girl from mainland China is such a braggart. She talks about the deep sea like it's a small ditch. Oh dear, could it be that she's so good at exaggerating that she managed to fool the boss?
Yes, in Ah Cai's mind, Fu Wan and the others were cheap. Especially after accidentally learning from the bodyguard that the mainland girl in front of them was hired by He Guohua to come to Hong Kong at a huge salary, Ah Cai was even more convinced that this mainland girl was a master at swindling money.
Ah Cai won a fishing competition and received a prize of two million dollars in addition to the cash reward. This amount made Ah Cai so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days. Why didn't he learn to fish in the first place and instead learned to drive?
Not to mention the prize money, which must be substantial, just those two million dollars would be enough for my whole family to immigrate to Australia and live a wealthy life.
Ah Cai was incredibly envious. Today, He Guohua said he was going to pick someone up from the airport, and he knew he would finally get to meet this skilled fishing woman from the mainland.
I thought that a seasoned angler would be old, with sunburn marks on his face and arms, but this mainland girl didn't have any at all.
Doesn't this just prove that this mainland girl is a fraud?
Hey, right now He Guohua hasn't given the mainland girl any money yet. Maybe he should go back and tell the big boss so she can come out and persuade her?
Ah Cai was secretly plotting something, but He Guohua was completely unaware. Fang Min, however, was very perceptive and glanced at the rearview mirror.
She had just seen it; the driver's eyes were darting around, clearly he was up to no good.
It seems this trip to the port city wasn't so easy after all.
Fang Min was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was eager for the other party to make a move. Everything was good in Fu Family Village, except that it was too comfortable. Sometimes she wanted to find someone to practice her skills but couldn't find anyone.
After such a long period of peaceful life, I also want to loosen up my muscles and bones.
Although He Guohua did not believe that Fu Wan was not afraid of the deep sea at all, he was very satisfied with Fu Wan's confidence.
Those people thought that by getting rid of all the powerful fishing enthusiasts in Hong Kong, they would inevitably lose. Ha, how naive!
If Miss Fu is lucky enough to catch another golden croaker on the day of the competition, she'll definitely scare these bastards so much they'll wet their pants!
Previously, He Guohua was able to arrange such a nice dinner for Fu Wan in Guangzhou even though he was far away in Hong Kong. Now that Fu Wan has come to Hong Kong, he is even more unceremonious and has arranged a lavish feast.
While waiting for the food to be served, Fu Wan finally had time to look around the restaurant.
To be honest, the restaurant's decor is very luxurious. Although it's a seafood restaurant, the surrounding decor is comparable to that of a Western restaurant.
In addition to the flowers and plants in the lobby, each table is also cleverly separated by a flower wall, creating a very atmospheric feel.
Before long, the waiters outside came in one after another to serve the dishes.
Fu Wan glanced at the food and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. Good heavens, the quality of this meal was much better than what she had in Guangzhou yesterday!
Steamed grouper, abalone, sea cucumber, and of course, fried chicken, a specialty of Hong Kong, as well as something that looks like porridge.
The dishes were dazzling, but the portions were small.
However, judging from the quality of the seafood, it should be quite good, so the taste shouldn't be too bad.
"This is a very famous seafood restaurant in our port city. It was renovated recently, but the taste hasn't changed."
Miss Fu, Miss Fang, Mr. Bai, please don't be shy, try it first and see how it differs from what you find on the mainland!
He Guohua beckoned, and Fu Wan followed his example, picking up a hot towel from the table to wipe her hands before putting a piece of fish into her mouth.
"How does it compare to the seafood from your area?"
"Not bad, the steamed grouper has brought out its unique freshness. The skills of the people of Hong Kong are indeed well-deserved!"
Fu Wan praised him, and He Guohua smiled with pride, then beckoned to Bai Qianzhou and Fang Min.
"You should try it too. Actually, this grouper is not just simply steamed. It also needs to be enhanced with shiitake mushrooms and ham. The fried chicken on the side is also a Hong Kong specialty. There is also rice porridge, which you probably haven't tried before."
"Porridge without rice?"
Fu Wan listened with curiosity and took a spoonful to taste it.
Only after tasting it did she realize that what looked like rice grains in the bowl were actually finely chopped yam, mixed with quite a bit of minced meat. It was more like a soup than a porridge.
"This must be bird's nest and partridge porridge that originated in Shunde, Guangdong Province, right?"
Bai Qianzhou asked, as he had heard of a famous dish from Guangdong Province that used partridge meat and bird's nest as the main ingredients, along with diced yam the size of rice grains, and then thickened and simmered.
The so-called rice-free porridge in front of me fits the bill perfectly.
He Guohua looked at Bai Qianzhou with surprise upon hearing this.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be so knowledgeable about food. This dish was indeed introduced in the late Qing Dynasty. It was very popular in Australia at first, and later spread to Hong Kong. After being improved, it became one of Hong Kong's famous dishes."
Bai Qianzhou smiled modestly, but Fu Wan didn't care about any of that. She took two more sips and said, "Slow and steady wins the race. This porridge sounds complicated, but its taste is top-notch."
The group was enjoying their meal when suddenly a jarring sound came from the next table.
"Oh my, I thought it was some country bumpkin eating and talking here, but it turns out it's my second brother bringing a girl from the mainland."
Second brother, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is the expert fisherman you hired?
