Chapter 141(1/2)
After they arrived, they rang the doorbell and Bai Yujiao came out and opened the door to greet them.
At this moment, grandma and Xia Yu were busy in the kitchen, so they asked everyone to come in and sit and rest for a while.
Bai Gaorui came the day before yesterday, and when he came this time, it had changed a lot.
It was obviously due to Bai Yujiao and Xia Yu. She also said that they started a large-scale purchase yesterday afternoon and invited several housekeepers to do hygiene. It was a bit difficult to clean up the room of more than 220 square meters with them.
Generally, there are many Filipino maids here, but Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao think it is unnecessary. The main reason is that Xia Yu does not live here forever.
The men sat in the living room and watched TV and chatted.
Bai Hanhui and Bai Hanfei's wife Yuan Yili went to the kitchen to check the situation. Grandma came to help early, but today the chef was Xia Yu.
What he is best at is cooking seafood, and making other things is just average.
The main focus of the evening is naturally seafood.
Bai Hanhui and Yuan Yili went to the kitchen and saw this scene.
People in Hongcheng like to eat seafood, and they are no exception. However, the seafood in Hongcheng is relatively expensive, and there are not many seafood in Hongcheng locally, and the pollution in the environment is also decreasing.
Most of the seafood in Port City is shipped from others. Except for seafood from mainland China, seafood from all over the world gathers here.
The seafood that Xia Yu is cooking now is particularly top-notch seafood in Hong Kong.
"Ayu doesn't have to spend so much money. Just eat something casually with your family." Yuan Yili is more familiar with him, and she basically has her meals when he goes to Bai Gaoze's house.
Xia Yu smiled and replied, "I just went to the seafood market to buy some seafood I often eat, and I will have many things to bother my grandmothers and aunts in the future."
Grandma also explained with a smile, "I asked Xiaojiao, and she said that when they were in Ayu's hometown fishing village, they often ate these seafood."
"Then your living standards are really high!" Bai Hanhui said with a smile, and then asked him, "The seafood price in Hong Kong is much more expensive than in the mainland!"
Xia Yu nodded and said yes, but he also expressed his understanding, and said, "The seafood price in Yuhai is much higher than that of the seaside fishing village."
Although Bai Hanhui thinks it is more luxurious, as long as the younger generation Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao are willing, they don’t think it’s expensive.
For example, the sea red melon seeds he is steaming now are very expensive in Hong Kong City. One or two ounces costs more than sixty or seventy yuan per ounce. In total, 500 grams costs more than nine hundred Hong Kong dollars, which is more than eight hundred per pound per pound.
There are not fifty grams of one or two here, only 37.5 grams, and a pound is calculated as 16 grams.
Xia Yu has really visited the seafood market, and the prices are generally much more expensive than those in the mainland.
This red melon seed spot is more expensive than the red East Star spot, with 53 liang of Dongxing spot, 48 liang of blue-clothed spot and 82 liang of tiger spot.
The most expensive one is called the sea-colored eyebrow fish, which is Sumei fish, which costs 168 per liang.
He went to the seafood market early in the morning and went to check out the market. He basically didn't have to buy seafood, but other ingredients, seasonings, vegetables, etc. still have to be purchased in large quantities.
For example, the must-use onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, vinegar, etc.
The kitchen supplies were bought yesterday when they went shopping with Bai Yujiao. Last night, the two of them didn't open fire at home and just ate outside.
Xia Yu came back from buying vegetables in the morning, and the two of them opened fire at home, and they all made crabs that Bai Yujiao liked to eat.
Xia Yu did not get Sumeiyu for treating him that night, but he had mouse spots. He had raised it in the space before and was also prepared to make it steamed.
In Hong Kong City, it costs more than HK$3,000 to order a mouse spot weighing about three pounds outside.
Although Xia Yu doesn’t cook much, he leaves it to Xia Ma and Xia Xue when he is at home, but his cooking skills are excellent.
This will be recognized by grandma and aunts.
The seafood at night is also quite rich. In addition to the particularly expensive sea red melon seed spots and tiger spots, there are also Chinese beautiful lobsters made into sashimi.
And fusan lobsters used to make bridge lobsters.
Crabs are naturally indispensable. What he took out were orchid crabs and snow crabs, and each person could get more than two.
Snow crabs and fusanthemum lobsters were caught last time at Jizhou Island. There are seafood markets in the port city around the world, so he is not worried about being exposed.
Then there is the abalone. After cleaning it, steam it with garlic and vermicelli.
Shrimps are naturally indispensable. Three pounds of large shrimp are used to burn white, and three pounds of peel shrimp are used to make salt-peppered shrimp.
Then a large pot of seafood porridge was made.
Because Xia Yu himself added to the evening, there were a total of ten people eating, and it was not enough for everyone to eat if there were fewer ones.
The seafood was served one after another, and Xia Yu asked them to eat it first, and he, the chef, had to eat it later. Although the weather is hot now and the dishes are not easy to be cold, it is better to eat it while it is hot.
Grandpa Bai Gaoze and his grandson knew the price of such a seafood meal in Hong Kong. After such a table, it would cost at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
They are usually reluctant to eat like this.
This time it was Xia Yu's treat, which was also a good day for "moving into a new house". Although it was a little costly, he could bear it himself.
The main task of the hostess Bai Yujiao is not in the kitchen, so Xia Yu just asks her to accompany her family to eat and drink well. She also has some cooking skills, but it is still too difficult for her to cook so much seafood.
Fortunately, not only Xia Yu cooked, he was a top-notch expert in seafood. When the meal started, he also asked his grandmother and aunt who helped him to go to have a meal, saying that he could do it himself later.
After all the seafood was served on the dining table, Xia Yu had dinner with her.
Bai Yujiao and Bai Gaorui also treated Bai Gaoze's family very well. They came to Hong Kong City and basically bothered them, which was also a reciprocity exchange.
Among them, Bai Haoxuan is the one with the smallest age difference from Bai Yujiao Xia Yu.
Bai Haoxuan is the same as Zhou Chen. He is thick-skinned and mature, and he is very good at bragging and even claims to be romantic...
When Xia Yu praised this, he didn't need to make drafts at all. Xia Yu was not very shameless, but he still had to be at a disadvantage in front of him.
It is also very easy to get closer when everyone eats and drinks at the dinner table.
At the moment of food, grandma, Bai Yujiao, Bai Hanhui, Yuan Yili and other women were having a great time having a good chat while eating.
After enjoying an extremely delicious seafood meal, grandma didn't let Xia Yu work harder. She helped clean the kitchen and let him rest.
Xia Yu accompanied Bai Hanfei and Bai Hanwen and the others to watch TV and chat.
Bai Haoxuan didn't know what he was polite, and asked him if there was any seahorse wine, saying that the seahorse wine he gave last time was very effective.
Xia Yu smiled and said yes, but this time he came to Hong Kong City, so he would bring it here next time.
Bai Haoxuan laughed, "Okay! Ayu, just look for me if you have any problems in the future. I am the most familiar with the Port City."
But Bai Yujiao was not at ease with him, "Cousin, as long as you don't take him to a nightclub or something, everything will be easy."
Everyone laughed, but Bai Haoxuan said with a smile, "It's not a bad thing to see, Ayu will definitely understand Xiaojiao's goodness better."
Xia Yu only said that he would not spend too much time in Hong Kong City in the future, nor would he have the time to go to nightclubs or something.
After grandma and the others packed up, they also came to chat with Bai Yujiao and looked around at the house. They also cared about whether she had any other needs, just talk to them.
Bai Yujiao hurriedly said no, she said that she had already cleaned up almost the same thing, and they just bought the other things that needed to be purchased by themselves.
Bai Gaoze's family stayed here until about 10 o'clock and was about to say goodbye and go home. Before leaving, they did not forget to thank them for their warm hospitality. Bai Haoxuan praised Xia Yu's cooking skills and looked forward to the next time, and Bai Gaoze would be scolded by laughing and scolding.
The house is built here, so Bai Gaorui lives here at night.
After seeing off Bai Gaoze's family, Bai Gaorui did not ask him how much seafood is spent or something, but only told them about what happened today at Izumo Xuan and what will happen in the afternoon in the future.
Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao both had expectations, and then Xia Yu still said the same old saying, "I feel most at ease when I leave it to my grandfather!"
Bai Gaorui gave up after laughing. Xia Yu must be unsuitable for the current situation. He and Bai Gaoze can handle it completely. If this is not done well, the antique dealer who has been doing it for so many years will be in vain.
Then I asked them if they were used to living here?
Both of them said it was very good, Bai Yu smiled and said, "The sea view here is really beautiful, especially in the morning."
"Xiaojiao, you can also get a set of keys. You can come and play with Xiaoxue and the others on weekends. It is better to have permanent residents in the house." Bai Gaorui also said.
Bai Yu nodded, "That's what I plan."
After chatting for a while, Bai Gaorui also asked them to contact their family.
They are planning to stay here for two more days before going back to Yuhai, which is also Bai Yujiao's last summer vacation.
After the two returned to their room, Bai Yujiao also asked him, "Do you want to tell your uncle and aunt about renting a house in Hong Kong?"
Xia Yu was also quite distressed, "If they want to know the rent here, they will definitely feel distressed."
"It's impossible to keep it from them all the time," Bai Yu said with a giggle, "I think we can get angry with Xiaoxue first and let her ventilate it slowly to the uncle and aunt!"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said yes, "My wife is so smart."
"Haha, Xiaoxue is on the same front with us!" Bai Yujiao said, "If you have a place to live, it will be much more convenient to come to Hong Kong City in the future!"
Bai Yujiao's family is much easier to talk about, mainly Bai Gaorui can make the decision himself.
After the discussion, Xia Yu dialed Xia Xue's phone number.
Xia Xue's side was connected soon, and Xia Yu asked her what she was doing.
Xia Xue answered very naturally, "I'm editing videos in the room! Brothers, when will you go back to Yuhai?"
"The matter here has not been completed yet, and I will go back in two days." Xia Yu said.
"Oh, you're having fun with your sister-in-law over there! Where is your sister-in-law? Do you want me to turn on the video call?" The girl Xia Xue always spoke very quickly.
"Okay, there's something to tell you," Xia Yu said.
"Then you can drive hands-free later." Xia Xue quickly hung up the phone, then sent a video request. After answering, she saw Bai Yujiao with Xia Yu.
"Good evening, sister-in-law, where are you now? It's not like you are in a hotel!" Xia Xue's eyes were sharp and careful.
