Song Zhirong, who was usually cold-hearted and aloof, actually had a feeling that he was not as good as his cousin. Seeing that he was still in a daze, Fu Wan simply ignored him and cleaned up the kitchen with Bai Qianzhou.
Song Zhirong didn't stay in a daze for long. The main problem was that there was a huge thing lying in front of him, and a faint fishy smell lingered in his nose, so he couldn't concentrate on his daydreaming.
Well, the fish are already home, we can't leave them untreated!
"Jack, bring me that knife over there for cleaning the fish!"
Song Zhirong turned around, intending to call out to Fu Wan, who was closest to the knife, but changed his mind before he could finish speaking.
Upon hearing this, Jack handed over two knives from the wooden shelf beside him.
Fu Wan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you prepare this fish today? It's getting late."
Song Zhirong shook his head and picked up the whetstone next to him to sharpen the knife.
Without looking up, he replied, "This fish is too big to fit in the refrigerator. Unless I take it to the cellar, and since I can't sleep right now, I might as well just clean it up."
After saying that, he looked up and asked Fu Wan and the others, "Do you want to come along?"
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou instinctively shook their heads. What a joke! They had been fishing all day, and it was already late at night. Her eyelids were already drooping.
Although Bai Qianzhou's major was somewhat relevant, he had previously pointed a knife at people.
Doctors are often a bit of a germaphobe, and he needs to go to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning to buy a plane ticket to Florida for the next day. If he doesn't get enough rest, he won't be able to drive out.
Whether in the United States or China, driving while fatigued is absolutely prohibited.
As for Jack, it was the first time he had ever seen such a large tuna being handled, and he was so curious that he couldn't move for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Song Zhirong immediately grabbed the able-bodied man who was standing right in front of him.
"Jack, go and get some cardboard boxes."
The tuna was too big; it wouldn't fit on the kitchen cutting board.
Previously, Mr. William's bodyguard had simply placed it on the kitchen floor.
Song Zhirong's idea was to unfold a cardboard box and place it on the table to prevent bloodstains from getting everywhere.
"Alright, stop watching. You two should go and get some rest!"
Despite the question, Song Zhirong had never intended for Fu Wan to join in the first place.
"Jack and I are fine here."
"Don't worry, we won't stay up too late. We'll just quickly prepare the fish and then go to sleep."
He wasn't a ruthless person; catching such a big fish wasn't easy in the first place, and Fu Wan and the others must be exhausted after working for so long.
Seeing this, Fu Wan did not refuse. After helping Bai Qianzhou cut off the fish head, she went to wash up and go to bed.
Jack was initially very enthusiastic, but after working alongside Song Zhirong for an hour, he became so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.
Song Zhirong was worried that he might cut his hand while dozing off, so he simply let him go to sleep as well.
Hehe, he wasn't worried about the kid getting hurt, but rather that if he did, Fu Fengying would nag him again tomorrow.
Before leaving, Jack put all the fish fillets he had prepared into the refrigerator.
A 50-pound bluefin tuna, though about the size of a piglet, actually yielded very little after dissection.
After removing the fish head and bones, Song Zhirong cut the meat from both sides into several pieces, put them in a bowl, and placed them in the refrigerator.
To be honest, Song Zhirong had never seen such beautiful fish meat before. When he first cut open the tuna, he was simply taken aback by the texture of the fish meat.
The fish meat is light pink and feels very oily. Its texture is also very beautiful, resembling snowflakes.
With no one around, Song Zhirong, almost unconsciously, cut off a thin slice and put it in his mouth. The next second, his eyes widened in surprise. The fish had no fishy smell at all; instead, it had a particularly rich milky flavor that melted in his mouth and was even quite sweet.
He glanced at the piece of meat in his hand. If he remembered correctly, this piece of meat should be the belly of a tuna, that is, the meat in the middle of the tuna's belly.
No wonder many Chinese people like the belly of tuna; it's definitely much tastier than the lean tuna he'd eaten before.
Lean tuna has less fat and is redder in color than belly tuna. Because it has less fat, it's chewier than belly tuna and is also cheaper. (Image of tuna meat from the internet, please delete if infringing copyright) Influenced by the older generation, Song Zhirong actually prefers Chinese food and doesn't like sashimi.
He would occasionally eat it when he went out for business dinners, and he would just eat a little as a polite gesture, but he could swear that he had never eaten such delicious tuna in the first half of his life.
Looking back now, it's no wonder that bluefin tuna prices remain so high.
Thinking this, Song Zhirong carefully put the large piece of pork belly into a bowl. He was sure his daughter would like it because of its delicious taste.
After putting all the fish into the refrigerator, Song Zhirong glanced at the table clock. Coincidentally, the minute hand of the clock was stopped at the 12 o'clock position.
He immediately felt sleepy, went into the kitchen to tidy up quickly, and then washed up and went back to his room.
When Fu Wan woke up again, it was the next morning. There was a big tree outside the window of the room that Fu Fengying had prepared for her, and several birds were chirping and chatting on the windowsill early in the morning.
She rubbed her face before remembering where she was, then quickly got dressed and went out.
As soon as she opened the door, a figure rushed over and hugged her leg.
Fu Wan was so startled that she took a half step back and looked down at her legs, only to find herself staring into a pair of large, watery eyes.
This is a very pretty little girl with blue eyes, golden curly hair, and very fair skin.
"Hey, Ellie, what are you doing!"
Fu Wan instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty girl downstairs.
However, this child is clearly a pure Chinese, with dark and shiny eyes on his baby face.
The two children were about the same age. Fu Wan picked up the child and went downstairs when she saw Fu Fengying carrying a bowl of steamed egg custard.
"aunt!"
"Awan's awake? Go brush your teeth and wash your face, get ready for dinner!"
Fu Fengying smiled and invited her to eat, but after a while she noticed something was wrong.
"Ellie, what are you doing here, talking about Aunt Yuqing?"
"Come down and eat!"
Fu Fengying also spoke English. Fu Wan put down the little girl named Ellie, and she immediately ran towards Fu Fengying.
"Auntie, who are these two children?"
"Oh dear, I forgot to introduce you."
This is Yuqing, my granddaughter. This is Ellie, the neighbor's child.
"The two kids are getting along well. Ellie is more lively. I hope she didn't scare you just now?"
Fu Wan shook her head and said with a smile, "No, Aunt, these two children are really good-looking."
Fu Fengying nodded in deep agreement. If the two children weren't so good-looking, she wouldn't be able to stand their antics.
"Grandma, can we go to the beach to collect seashells after we finish eating?"
