Chapter 281 Single-Headed Abalone
The word "go home" is used very cleverly.
This shows that Wang Zhanbo felt this home also belonged to his elder brother and sister-in-law, and did not treat them as guests.
Looking at the baby's breath in Lin Shanshan's arms, Wang Zhanbo said, "Sister-in-law, I think you are brighter and more beautiful than the stars in the sky, so I gave you this flower. Do you like it?"
Lin Shanshan smiled brightly and said, "I like it very much."
Wang Zhanbo nodded happily, knowing he had to answer.
He then pulled the bespectacled guy behind him over and said, "This is my sister-in-law. Isn't she prettier than your sister? She's prettier than a celebrity!"
He looked incredibly smug!
The bespectacled guy was caught off guard and suddenly faced with a beauty overload, his face turning red.
"Hello, sister-in-law (✪▽✪)."
Wang Zhanbo was slightly annoyed: "Who are you calling 'sister-in-law'?" This was his sister-in-law alone. He was the eldest brother and had no other younger brothers or sisters.
The bespectacled man was a little embarrassed and said with his head down, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just followed your lead because you called me 'sister-in-law'."
At this point, all the delicious dishes had been served.
Bai Xue said to her youngest son, "Wang Zhanbo, don't be rude. It's not a problem for your classmate to call you 'sister-in-law'."
"Xiao Zhi, go wash your hands. We're having dinner at Auntie's today."
Wang Zhanbo pursed his lips, then, as if remembering something, hurriedly went to wash his hands.
Seizing the opportunity, he sat down next to Lin Shanshan during the meal.
"Sister-in-law, these were all personally selected by Mom and me. Please try them."
Wang Zhanbo arranged the top-grade single-head abalone on a plate, carefully cut it with a clean knife and fork, and handed it to Lin Shanshan.
Lin Shanshan looked at the geoduck, shark fin, snow crab, Australian lobster, and roast goose on the table and thought to herself: If I eat this abalone that weighs more than a pound, I probably won't be able to eat any of these delicacies.
He then smiled and said, "Mom, Zhanbo, Zhang Wei, Xiaozhi, let's share the food together."
Bai Xue said, "Wife, you eat yours. If you can't finish, just leave it. It's okay. We still have two abalones here."
Abalone is rare, and the only one was given to Lin Shanshan. The others got two abalone, but it was still very precious.
Lin Shanshan shook her head and said, "Wasting food is shameful."
Just then, Wang Zhanbo divided the abalone into five equal parts, and Lin Shanshan distributed them to the five people at once.
Zhang Wei had eaten abalone before, when he was with his father and later when he was hosting foreign guests at Xinghuo Technology. However, it was just the usual nine-headed abalone.
It was only when I ate single-headed abalone for the first time that I realized what it meant to be "the crown of seafood and the first of the eight delicacies".
Lin Shanshan enjoyed her meal very much; seafood is her favorite food.
Most of the seafood in the space was frozen, and there wasn't such a rare single-headed dried abalone!
Grandpa didn't bring as much or as many kinds of seafood as he did in Hong Kong. After all, in the 1970s, imported products were very rare in mainland China.
In addition to the exquisite seafood, Bai Xue also prepared local seafood dishes and a variety of beverages. Not to mention the red and white wines, they were all top-quality wines.
Eating crab with Shaoxing wine, Lin Shanshan looked at the bottle labeled 1946, a 30-year-old Shaoxing wine. At market price, it was practically worth a gram of gold.
After dinner, Lin Shanshan went to the room that Bai Xue had specially arranged for her.
“Daughter-in-law, come and see the view of Victoria Harbour.”
After drinking some wine, Bai Xue addressed Lin Shanshan more intimately.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the stars shone brightly above and neon lights flickered below. Under the starlit night sky, the sea rippled with the evening breeze.
The magnificent and splendid scene speaks volumes about the fact that Hong Kong Island's title of "Four Little Dragons" is well-deserved and truly lives up to its name.
The night was beautiful. Lin Shanshan took out her phone and took a few pictures. She would go back—no, wait until Bai Xue convinced the board of directors to take over the Hong Kong agency for Xinghuo Mobile, then Lin Shanshan would have the engineering department come over immediately to install the signal tower.
Then I can send Gu Yiye an MMS.
However, MMS messages cannot be used for video calls, and in the unfamiliar city, Lin Shanshan misses Gu Yiye terribly.
It seems that the development of social media platforms needs to be put on the agenda.
