"Oh, well, it's not as exaggerated as Xiaorou said. It's just some ordinary dishes. But the crayfish in our village are pretty good. If you're free tonight, I'll save some for you."
"Crayfish? I heard that some kind of crayfish has recently appeared in the city, and it's said to be only this big?" Yang Liu gestured to indicate that it was about seven or eight centimeters long.
"Yeah, it's from our village, it's spicy, you can handle it, right?"
"Sure, who are you underestimating? I only eat the spicy broth when I have hot pot."
"Okay, we'll have crayfish for dinner, and some braised shrimp and boiled shrimp for lunch." Ye Cheng brought up two plates of shrimp, both simply cooked.
"Wow, these shrimp taste so good, they have a taste of the ocean." Xiaorou ate a boiled shrimp first and was very satisfied.
Seeing Xiaorou's satisfied expression, Xiaohu silently raised his hand.
"Sister Xiaorou, the seafood on the boat still has some seawater in it, so it will taste a bit like the ocean."
Xiaorou: ...
You damned little tiger.
"Hmm, Ye Cheng, your prawns are indeed cooked very well." Yang Liu ate a braised prawn and smiled.
"As long as it tastes good, ladies. Come on, don't be shy. These are home-style dishes cooked by Little Tiger's mom. The taste may not be as good as a professional chef's, but the ingredients are definitely from the farm and guaranteed to be fresh."
"Yeah, my mom picked them all from the field this morning," Xiao Hu boasted a little.
Because Ye Cheng had requested something light, in addition to the stir-fried pork with chili peppers they had eaten before, Little Tiger's mother also ordered some loofah, cucumber, and eggs.
Enjoying fresh vegetables and seafood at sea made the two beautiful women very happy.
While eating, Xiaorou also fed Dahuang, pretending that they should eat together. "Baby, look how much food Mommy has given you. Shouldn't you get Mommy a fish too? I heard that babies with spiritual abilities can do that. Can you?"
"This is a sea turtle, not a wishing turtle," Yang Liu said calmly.
"So what? My baby just understands what I'm saying." Xiaorou stroked Dahuang with a doting expression.
Ye Cheng chuckled to himself, thankful he had brought Da Huang today, otherwise he would have been swamped.
Just then, Da Huang suddenly turned around and walked outside. No one paid any attention, assuming it was just taking a walk or something.
Unexpectedly, he climbed directly to the side of the boat and then rolled into the sea.
With a thud, everyone was startled.
"Baby, baby, why did you jump into the sea? Come back up quickly!" Xiao Rou jumped up and down anxiously.
"Little Rou, he's a sea turtle, he won't drown, what are you afraid of?" Ye Cheng quickly pulled her back; this girl could get easily agitated sometimes.
Xiao Rou was in a hurry, but Ye Cheng's words made her realize something. Right, she wasn't raising a dog, this was a sea turtle, a sea turtle going to the ocean.
Yes, that means I'm home.
"Does he find me annoying? Does he think I talk too much?" Xiaorou sat down and began to reflect on herself.
"Oh dear, that's just how it is. Last time I took care of it, I fed it the best food and water, and it still went back to the sea for almost half a month. It's normal."
"Oh, I thought it was annoyed by my nagging." Hearing Ye Cheng say that, Xiao Rou felt much relieved and picked up a shrimp to treat herself.
Just then, Xiaorou suddenly stood up abruptly, holding chopsticks in one hand and a shrimp in her mouth in the other, making a whimpering sound.
"What? What's wrong with you?" Ye Cheng was startled, thinking that Xiao Rou was stuck or something.
Xiao Rou pushed Ye Cheng away, swallowed the shrimp in her mouth, pointed into the distance, and shouted.
"Look! Dolphins!"
"What? Dolphins?" Yang Liu stood up in surprise and looked back.
In the distance, several dolphins were swimming slowly on the sea, their dorsal fins protruding high above the water, and occasionally revealing their large foreheads.
"Ye Cheng, drive over there and take a look, hurry and catch up!" Yang Liu said excitedly.
"Oh," Ye Cheng replied, inwardly cursing, "Couldn't you have come a little later? We haven't finished eating yet."
Ye Cheng started the boat, turned it to the left, and chased straight after the dolphins.
As the distance closed, the two women stood on the edge of the deck, standing on tiptoe to look at them; at this distance, they could see them clearly.
"Oh, I see it! It's so cute!" Xiaorou exclaimed happily.
Yang Liu frowned and said softly,
"This is not a dolphin."
"Huh? Isn't that right?" Xiaorou asked casually. "It does look like it to me."
“This is a short-finned pilot whale,” Yang Liu said definitively.
"What? This is a whale? Aren't whales supposed to be very big?" Xiaorou looked incredulous.
"Although short-finned pilot whales are called whales, they actually belong to the dolphin family. Look at their size; the largest of these short-finned pilot whales is almost 5 meters long, while dolphins aren't that big," Yang Liu began, pointing to the group of animals and explaining.
Xiao Rou listened attentively, nodding unconsciously.
"Furthermore, their heads are rounded and convex, without a protruding snout, while dolphins have a distinct beak-like snout."
Look at their skin color; it's very dark, while dolphins have much lighter skin.
Ye Cheng listened attentively to Yang Liu's words; he didn't usually come into contact with this kind of knowledge.
He could recognize that they weren't dolphins, but he didn't know their specific names.
After hearing Yang Liu's words, Xiao Rou knew it wasn't a dolphin, but she was still very excited and took out her phone to take several pictures.
"Um, ladies, since they're not dolphins, can I cast my net to catch fish now?" Ye Cheng asked.
"How can you be so unromantic?" Xiaorou said with dissatisfaction.
Yang Liu also glanced at Ye Cheng.
"Isn't it good to look at the sea? You must go fishing!"
"If I don't fish, will you support me?" Ye Cheng said speechlessly.
The two turned around and looked at Ye Cheng together, then said in unison,
"Tch! Who wants to support you?"
"Hurry up and drive there, we still need to see more!"
"Alright, alright, ladies, I'll steer over there!" Ye Cheng reluctantly increased the speed of the boat and chased after the so-called whales.
There are more than a dozen short-finned pilot whales in this group. According to Yang Liu, they are naturally social animals, and at their peak, the group can number as many as a hundred.
Yang Liu was talking enthusiastically when suddenly Xiao Hu pointed at the whale pod and said, "Hey, look, aren't those white dolphins?"
"Huh? Where?" Upon hearing the words "white dolphin," Yang Liu turned around in a panic and looked over.
A white figure appeared in the pod of whales at some point and was swimming forward alongside them.
Yang Liu pointed excitedly at the white figure and said in a trembling voice, "It's it! It's an inverted white dolphin!"
"Oh? Really? I want to see too." Xiaorou grabbed a stool and stepped on it, as if afraid her legs weren't long enough.
