"We'll sell out the day after tomorrow, and the next batch will be in three days. The schedule is very tight. I don't know what kind of fish will be in the next batch. If I find some with fewer bones, I'll have another batch sent over."
While the two were talking, Haonan and Tian Shangguo came over and asked, "Comrade Yan, where did you get so many fish?" As soon as they came out, they smelled the fishy smell.
Even if all these fish are soaked in water, there will not be too many fish and the fishy smell will be strong.
"We've just received some new stock. Yuxiu is tired of silver carp, so please take these to the kitchen. Have Goudan pan-fry the sandbar and capelin. Eat some and store some. I'll bring some back next time. Pan-fried dried fish is also great as a snack. Enjoy them when they're ready." Yan Rushan handed them the boxes and said to Yuxiu, "I'm going to go wash my hands. Wait a minute, I'll help you."
"I don't need your help." After decisively refusing, Zhong Yuxiu went to the kitchen with Haonan and the others.
Yan Rushan smiled helplessly, full of indulgence and doting; he walked into the bathroom, closed the door and washed the fish smell off his hands.
Goudan turned his head and saw that it was Zhong Yuxiu, then turned back to cooking.
"Goudan, these fish were brought back by Comrade Yan. He said they were sandfish and capelin that were pan-fried. He didn't say how to cook the other fish. Where is the fish basket?"
Goudan pointed to the door. He had lived here for two years and had bought more and more things, so the kitchen seemed a little crowded.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo put the frame by the door, then turned around and said, "Comrade Zhong, please don't come in. The kitchen is too crowded."
"Okay, I'll go out. But please help me catch the sandfish and put them in separate places. Just remove the gills and internal organs of the capelin, and don't dig out the roe in its stomach." Zhong Yuxiu mentioned it because she was afraid that they didn't know how to handle it.
Haonan nodded, "We'll remember that."
"Comrade Zhong, what are sandfish and capelin?" Tian Shangguo asked, and Haonan realized, "Yes, Comrade Zhong, we can't tell which is which. There are several species here."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled knowingly, walked forward and pointed at one of the sandfish, "This is the sandfish. The other small fish is the capelin. The capelin has a lot of roe in its stomach, which is quite different from the sandfish."
"Okay, Comrade Zhong, we understand. What should we do with the sandfish?"
"Head and gut."
Tian Shangguo nodded slightly to show that he understood, and asked her to go to the hall so that they could help process the two different types of fish.
"Thank you for your help." Zhong Yuxiu turned and left. Tian Shangguo and Haonan studied the processing methods of the two kinds of fish. They removed the gills and internal organs of the capelin, and the head and internal organs of the sandbar. After trying a few times, they found the trick and packed the two kinds of fish separately. With one person processing one fish, the speed was faster.
By the time Goudan finished cooking dinner, Tian Shangguo and Haonan had also processed half of the two kinds of fish; half of each kind weighed about three pounds, which showed how large the quantity Yan Rushan had chosen when purchasing the fish.
Goudan washed the dishes and brought them to the table, then served the food one by one. The weather was hot, and the food would not cool down too much, so he did not cover the dishes with anything.
Yan Rushan hugged Zhong Yuxiu and went to the dining room. After settling his wife down, Yan Rushan went to the kitchen.
"Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, wash your hands and wait for my grandfather to come back so we can eat. Come back after dinner to clean up. I'll come and help later. It won't take long to clean up."
"No need for your help, there aren't many left." Haonan stood up and stretched. "It takes time to clean up the small fish. I need to eat more after I cook it."
Tian Shangguo put the processed fish on the stove and said, "Goudan, cook the processed fish first. Maybe we can make a dish for dinner."
"Ding ding ding." Goudan had no objection. Its pair of mechanical arms were indeed not flexible enough to handle small fish and shrimps.
Seeing them squatting down to continue cleaning the fish, Yan Rushan shook his head and urged them several times; Haonan and the others just said that Grandpa Yan had not come back yet, and it would not be too late to wash their hands after the old man came back.
"Okay, you guys take your time cleaning up. I'll get some snacks for Yuxiu to eat."
"That's right. Comrade Zhong can't go hungry." Hao Nan didn't even raise his head, just focused on the work in his hands.
Yan Rushan brought a porcelain plate, opened the steamer, filled it with a plate of dim sum, and returned to the dining room. He sat down next to Yuxiu and said, "Eat when you're hungry. I'm going to call Grandpa. I wonder if he's back yet."
"Don't rush me, Grandpa knows what I'm doing." He moved the plate in front of him and ate slowly.
Yan Rushan nodded, went to the phone, picked up the receiver, and dialed the number of the old man's office; after a long time no one answered, Yan Rushan put down the phone and returned to his original seat.
"Grandpa isn't in the office. He should be home soon."
"Just wait." Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Where are Comrade Hao and the others?"
"Cleaning fish in the kitchen."
Zhong Yuxiu understood, "Aren't you going to help?"
"I'm worried about you, sitting here all by yourself without anyone to talk to." Yan Rushan looked at the people around him with concern, "Everything will be fine after the baby is born. You can go wherever you want."
Zhong Yuxiu felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and was very touched by his words. She still asked, "Don't you need to take care of the child?"
"Hire a nanny. I'll take care of the children when I'm at home, and the nanny will take care of them when I'm not at home." With three children, it's impossible not to hire a nanny.
"Forget it. A nanny may not be able to take good care of the child." She was worried about hiring a nanny to take care of the child, mainly because she had seen many unethical nannies in later generations.
Yan Rushan was particularly adamant about this. "If we don't hire a nanny, who will take care of them? We still have to hire one. If we don't, we have to hire two. We have three children in our family, and one nanny may not be enough to take care of them all."
"Goudan will take care of the children."
Yan Rushan: “….”
What kind of all-powerful robot is this? Even a grown man like him is outshined; the robot can help his wife conduct experiments and invent new things, cook, do housework, and do everything around the house! Now...it can even take care of the children.
Does he want to live anymore?
"How come Goudan knows everything?"
"Goudan is originally a domestic robot. It needs to know a little bit about everything related to the family." Up to the generation of chips of Goudan, domestic work includes cooking, housework, and childcare; once the owner of the house has children, domestic robots like them have to take on the responsibility of babysitting.
Yan Rushan: I have no words to say.
"Hahaha, Dashan, Yuxiu, I'm back! I smell the fragrance. What delicious food did you make?"
A hearty laugh interrupted Yan Rushan's trance. When he came to his senses, he no longer cared about how capable Goudan was and stood up to greet him.
"Grandpa, you are finally back. We have been waiting for a while."
Old Master Yan walked into the dining room alone. He ignored his eldest grandson and asked his grandson's wife first, "Is Yuxiu okay?"
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Please wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile and said to the old man.
"That's good. I'll go wash my hands and be right back." Old Master Yan hurried to the bathroom to wash his hands.
When Haonan and the other man heard the noise, they washed their hands in the kitchen first; then they went to the bathroom and washed their hands with soap to remove the odor. After making sure that their hands were free of the fishy smell, they came over and sat down with the old man.
