Zhou Kai was dumbfounded: "I've never eaten it before, and I've never even heard of it!"
"Amberjack, also known as red amberjack, is mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions, and there are nine species worldwide. There are two types of amberjack in Taiwan. This large amberjack is the Taiwanese variety. Its flesh is tender and, like salmon, it is the best fish for sashimi."
"It's amberjack! I've heard of it, but I've never actually eaten it. I heard it's extremely expensive!"
"Hmm, this fish is worth over a thousand. Do you think it's expensive or not?"
"So expensive? Isn't that even more expensive than this crab?"
"Of course! The large red snapper has the effects of warming the stomach and regulating the middle jiao, calming liver yang, dispelling wind, treating rheumatism, stopping malaria, and benefiting the intestines and eyesight; it is mainly used to treat weakness, wind-induced headache, liver yang hyperactivity, high blood pressure, headache, and chronic malaria. It is also a rare fish among all sea fish!"
Su Qiong, mimicking Xi Shi clutching her heart, exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Yang, this meal must have cost tens of thousands of yuan! That's incredibly extravagant!"
Fang Yang glanced at Zhou Xin, who was engrossed in eating her fish. "You caught it yourself? This afternoon I was telling Uncle Yang that we'd organize a sea fishing trip for the company employees as part of our New Year's Eve team building. It's supposed to be really fun!"
Chen Fushu, who enjoys fishing, was the first to raise his hand in agreement. "Sea fishing? Sure, sure! I've tried it once, but it's too expensive. It costs tens of thousands of yuan per trip, and you'll lose money if the catch isn't good."
Fang Yang used scissors to cut open the back of a blue crab, pried open the shell to reveal crab roe full of orange-yellow color, and handed it to Zhou Xin, saying, "This tastes best when it's hot, don't wait until it gets cold."
Fang Yang steamed all the blue crabs and flower crabs together this time, just enough for one for each person. After eating the crab roe, the crab legs were cut open to reveal the white crab meat. With a little sauce, it was a delicious dish.
Black sea bream is also a very delicious dish when used in sauerkraut fish. Compared to blackfish, black sea bream is fresher and more tender, making it incredibly delicious.
After finishing a bottle of red wine, everyone ate all the dishes on the table. Yang Huajin patted his round belly and sat on the sofa, exclaiming how satisfying it was.
After the meal and fruit, Fang Yang took a few plastic bags and put a fish in each person's bag. There was too much fish, and if they weren't given away, they would all spoil in a few days.
After seeing Yang Huajin and the others off, Zhou Xin took Fang Yang for a walk on the Bund. Zhou Xin had never been to the Bund before, even though she had visited Shanghai several times. Since she had eaten too much this time, a stroll would be nice.
Zhou Xin casually linked arms with Fang Yang, making Fang Yang's arm stiff for a moment. It wasn't until they walked more than a hundred meters that Fang Yang's arm relaxed naturally, which secretly pleased Zhou Xin. "That blockhead, at least he didn't shake off my arm. It seems he's gotten used to it."
Zhou Xin secretly cheered herself up. Her mother had told her before she came that if she liked someone, she should take the initiative, otherwise she might be seduced by some vixen and then have no one to regret it!
Perhaps because the National Day holiday is coming to an end, there are far fewer tourists on the Bund, and it is normal to see groups of three or five people taking a stroll.
Zhou Xin held Fang Yang's arm and leaned weakly on his shoulder as they strolled around in the slightly cool evening breeze. As a concentration of foreign concessions during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Bund was full of exotic charm.
Fang Yang's house was on the other side of the concession, and it was far inferior in terms of scenery and popularity. Moreover, it was a bit far away. However, compared to the huge Bund, it was like door to door, and it only took about 40 or 50 minutes to walk there.
Fang Yang noticed Zhou Xin was shivering slightly. "Are you cold?"
"Yeah, a bit. I didn't expect it to be so windy here, and the temperature difference between night and day is so big!"
Fang Yang pulled Zhou Xin closer to him. "It's okay. It'll be better when we get to the concession. There are more trees there, and the sea breeze isn't as strong as it is here."
Zhou Xin nestled in Fang Yang's arms, "I feel much better now. Your arms are so warm, I'm not cold at all."
Looking at Zhou Xin, who was lying in his arms with a lovestruck expression, Fang Yang almost shouted to the sky, "I like you!" He smiled slightly. Fang Yang didn't dislike Zhou Xin; in fact, he liked her a little. However, Fang Yang's feelings were a bit slow to develop, and he couldn't immediately jump into the main topic of their relationship.
Just as Fang Yang said, after entering the concession area, the tall trees blocked a significant portion of the sea breeze, and the temperature rose noticeably, so Zhou Xin wasn't so cold anymore.
"By the way, Fang Yang, my dad called today and wants to ask you to sing a song together. What do you think?"
"What song is it? Who is it sung for?"
"I don't know either. It seems to be for a theme song for a TV series. I don't know the specifics. If you think it's okay, my dad will send someone over to discuss it!"
"Have him send someone over to show me the script, and make sure it's clear who will be singing it."
"Okay, I'll call my dad when I get back!"
"Okay, is your dad's TV series finished filming? Is it in a hurry?"
"It seems like they're in a hurry. They placed orders with several music companies, but none of them were satisfactory."
"Alright, have your dad send me the script, I'll expedite its production!"
"Okay, thank you, Fang Yang. Just name your price."
"It's okay. Have your dad send over the lead singer's information as well. I need to see if they're suitable."
The two strolled along the Bund for a while. Seeing that it was still early, they went shopping on Nanjing Road. Autumn was just around the corner, and Zhou Xin and Fang Yang both wanted to buy some autumn clothes. Fang Yang, in particular, had been wearing almost all of his school clothes. Now that he was entering the workforce, he needed some formal attire to make a good impression.
Nanjing Road is a hub for branded clothing stores; you can find one almost every few steps. The rent for storefronts in this area is shockingly high, but the business is also booming. A constant stream of handsome men and beautiful women weave through the streets, creating a stunning urban landscape!
Fang Yang rarely goes out shopping. He only knows a few well-known big brands among these major clothing manufacturers. As for the others, he might recognize you, but you might not recognize him.
Zhou Xin was clearly a frequent shopper and was extremely familiar with all the major luxury brands. She led Fang Yang through various shops, and every now and then she would bring out a set of clothes that Fang Yang couldn't name and have him try them on.
The more than one-hour fitting was extremely painful for Fang Yang. Even with his strong physique, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead.
Zhou Xin showed no signs of fatigue and wanted to continue shopping, but Fang Yang quickly stopped her, saying, "You should buy things early, they're about to close."
Zhou Xin glanced at her watch. "Oh dear, I didn't realize it was so late. How about we go to that Puda store we just visited? It's understated yet luxurious, which suits your style perfectly!"
Fang Yang was both amused and exasperated. After browsing for most of the night, he had almost finished visiting all the men's clothing stores and could finally make a decision.
They hurried back to the Puda store, where the staff were already tidying up and preparing to close. When they saw Fang Yang and his companion returning, they stopped tidying up and rushed over to greet them.
Instead of comparing the two suits earlier, Zhou Xin directly ordered two suits, one black and one white, and packed them all up with shirts, ties and shoes to take with her.
After leaving the store, the number of people strolling on the street visibly decreased, and many shops were closing. Fang Yang quickly hailed a taxi by the roadside. It was too late, and it wouldn't be safe to walk back in the dark.
