It should be noted that Fu Wan was able to breathe freely in the sea thanks to that fish pearl.
Fu Wan boldly guessed that this pearl might also be special. Otherwise, given the old sea turtle's personality, how could it possibly hide in its mouth, and how could it deliberately let the Wealth Flower Bloom to lure her over?
Fu Wan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. The most direct way might be to swallow this pearl as well, but if this pearl had the same effect as the previous one, wouldn't she have wasted it?
Fu Wan was stumped and thought for several minutes until Ye Xiaocui outside urged her to take a shower and wash her hair, which brought her back to her senses.
Never mind, I'll just put this pearl away for now. I'm already satisfied with getting a fish pearl. I plan to keep this pearl for now and give it to Lingling when she grows up!
Thinking this, Fu Wan found a soft cloth, wrapped the fish pearl in it, and then put it in the box.
She decided that after dinner, she would take the pearl back to her new house, where there was a small cabinet that she had asked Boss Fu to make, hidden behind the wardrobe, which most people would never think of.
After showering and washing her hair, Fu Wan came out, drying her hair. She hadn't noticed it before, but afterwards she truly felt refreshed and invigorated.
Ye Xiaocui was always efficient. She cleaned up all the fish that Fu Wan brought back while Fu Wan went to take a shower.
"Wan, are you hungry? Don't wait for them, you eat first!"
Seeing Fu Wan come out, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly greeted her. While the fish were still fresh, she had just steamed a few more small yellow croakers. Half of them were in a bowl on the table, and the other half were in a bowl and left in the pot.
Fu Wan didn't stand on ceremony, mainly because she was indeed hungry. As soon as she sat down, her good daughter Fu Ling served her a bowl of rice. Not only that, Qin Mingzhu also poured her a glass of sweet honey water.
Hehe, I'm not even old yet, and I'm already enjoying life!
Daughters are so good, so thoughtful!
"Thank you, Mingzhu and Lingling. Come on, sit down and have some more with Mom."
Fu Wan took a sip of water, then picked up her bowl and called to the children. Fu Ling rubbed her stomach and shook her head, "I'm full. Grandma steamed eggs for us tonight!"
Qin Mingzhu was the same. Because she didn't know when Fu Wan and the others would return, Ye Xiaocui had already taken the children to eat dinner at six o'clock.
Fu Wan picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks. The small yellow croaker steamed by Ye Xiaocui was tender and delicious, with a fragrant aroma.
She deliberately held the bowl near the two children's noses and waved it, "Really not going to eat?"
Fu Ling is a little glutton. After smelling the aroma, she hesitated for half a second, but in the end, she was won over by the delicious food.
"The fish smells delicious! I'll have some!"
Ye Xiaocui, who was busy working nearby, shook her head helplessly and could only advise, "If you're eating fish, don't eat rice. You two ate quite a lot tonight, so don't make sure you're not feeling unwell later!"
"Don't worry, Grandma, we know!"
Fu Ling readily agreed, while Qin Mingzhu ran off to the kitchen to wash the chopsticks.
Fu Wan scooped herself a spoonful of steamed egg custard, then picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks. After putting the fish in her mouth, she ate a big mouthful of rice.
It has to be said that rice, as one of the staple foods of Chinese people, has a certain magic about it. During her stay on the ship, she had either porridge or noodles, none of which tasted as good as the rice in front of her.
In just a few minutes, Fu Wan finished a bowl of rice. Ye Xiaocui also cooked some pork lung and peanut soup, which Fu Wan then ate a large bowl of.
Seeing her daughter wolfing down her food, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but nag, "Eat slowly, there's still some left in the pot!"
"Hehe, Mom, your cooking is the best!"
These compliments made Ye Xiaocui smile broadly. "Then you should eat more. This pig lung was given to me by Dazhuang's mother today. I offered her money, but she refused to accept it."
"Then send her some fish and shrimp tomorrow as a way of repaying this favor."
"Okay, that works too!"
While chatting with Ye Xiaocui, Fu Wan took another sip of soup. Many people couldn't accept the taste of pig lung soup, and as one of the pig's offal, pig lungs were quite troublesome to process. Freshly removed pig lungs were bloody, while thoroughly cleaned pig lungs were white.
To clean pig lungs, you have to pour water into the trachea above the lungs again and again. After rinsing, you have to blanch them multiple times with hot water to remove the dirt from the lungs.
Although it's troublesome, the taste of pig lungs is quite good. In her previous life, Fu Wan visited a southern city where the braised pig lungs were considered exceptional. They not only had no fishy smell, but were also incredibly fragrant and spicy.
Pig lung soup with peanuts is very effective in relieving coughs. Ye Xiaocui was willing to go to the trouble of cooking pig lung soup because Fu Ling had been kicking off the covers and coughing a bit these past few nights.
The peanuts here are red peanuts that Ye Jianguo sent before. They grew them themselves and didn't use any pesticides.
Correspondingly, the yield was not much. To be honest, if it weren't for feeling sorry for her granddaughter's cough, Ye Xiaocui wouldn't have been willing to take out these red peanuts.
Fu Wan was drinking her soup when there was a commotion at the door. Fu Ming entered the house carrying a package, followed by Boss Fu carrying fish.
"Oh, Ah Wan, hurry up and take this package. Fu Jian just gave it to me, saying he picked it up at the post office."
"Oh, where did such a big package come from?"
Fu Wan was a little puzzled, so she quickly put down her bowl and took it. Once she took it, she realized that this thing was not only big, but also very heavy. It must weigh at least fifty pounds.
Who sent this package?
Fu Wan flipped the package over, turning it to the side with the label attached.
"Wow, it's in English!"
"Huh, in English?"
Fu Ming had just finished drinking a glass of water when he heard this and hurriedly came over.
It was dark outside, so he didn't really read what was written on the form carefully.
"It's in English, but there's also Chinese," Fu Wan said casually. When she saw the names on the list, she was shocked.
"Holy crap, it looks like a package from Jack and his crew!"
Actually, it wasn't Jack. The form was written in very neat Chinese, and the sender's name was clearly written in three large characters: "Song Zhirong".
"Song Zhirong, who is this person?" Fu Ming was a little confused, and Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu also came over.
Fu Wan then realized that she hadn't told them about Song Zhirong yet.
“Song Zhirong is my aunt’s son, our cousin.”
"Lingling, give me a pair of scissors, I want to open this package and take a look."
She finished speaking concisely, then took the scissors from Fu Ling and carefully opened the package.
Not only were Fu Ming and the others curious, but Fu Wan was also a little puzzled. Why did Song Zhirong suddenly send such a big package? What was inside?
Perhaps to prevent the contents from falling out, the package was wrapped in layers of plastic bags and covered with tape. Fu Wan opened each layer one by one, and when the contents were revealed, everyone was stunned.
