Chapter 742 King Crab Infestation
Chapter 742 King Crab Infestation
"Goddess, is this really sent by my cousin? He understands me so well!"
Fu Ming exclaimed. The most eye-catching things in the box were the heavy lure fishing rods. When they saw Fu Wan's fishing rods before, not only Boss Fu, but also Fu Ming was very envious.
When he saw the fishing rods in the package, he was overjoyed. Look at the colors of those rods, black, gold and dark blue. Who else could they be but for him!
Fu Wan ignored him. In addition to the fishing rod, the package also contained a large bag of chocolates and three beautiful scarves, which looked like they were for the female members of the family.
"Hey, there's a letter!"
Fu Ming picked up the fishing rod. Fu Wan noticed an envelope under the rod. She picked it up hurriedly and saw the words "A letter to Awan" written crookedly on it.
Yes, this is Jack's handwriting. She opened the envelope. Jack's Chinese is limited, and the words inside are even a little incoherent. But at least they get along well in Los Angeles, so this does not prevent Fu Wan from understanding what he means.
She read through it quickly, and Ye Xiaocui and the others beside her hurriedly asked, "Awan, what does the letter say?"
"Yes, the handwriting is so ugly, did Jack write it?"
Fu Wan handed the letter to Boss Fu, then nodded and smiled, "It was written by Jack. The letter said that he missed us very much, and they prepared these things for us together."
Fu Wan just mentioned it in one sentence, but Jack actually said more than that. In fact, Jack began to miss Fu Wan since she left Los Angeles last time.
Especially when he went out to sea with Robert and others, these enemies came back empty-handed, which made Jack miss the time when he went out to sea with Fu Wan even more.
But Jack, a foreigner, couldn't travel to China frequently. First, his visa wasn't guaranteed to be approved, and second, it would cost a fortune. And Jack was a working man who needed to go to work every day.
After Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou went to Florida, the news that they caught bluefin tuna there spread to Los Angeles through the mouth of old Mr. William. Jack and his friends were very proud. When Fu Fengying mentioned that it was the Spring Festival in China, Jack decided to send some gifts to Fu Wan and the others.
The fishing rod was indeed given to Fu Ming, the boss, and Fu Wan. Fu Fengying also knew about Fu Ming's marriage, so she traveled thousands of miles to remit two thousand dollars to Fu, the boss, as a gift.
The bag of chocolates was prepared by Song Zhirong's daughter-in-law Jiang Lan, and she also helped to select the scarves inside. There were three scarves, one for Fu Wan, Qin An Ning, and Ye Xiaocui.
In addition to these things, Jack also complained in the letter about Song Zhirong's lack of support for his fishing trip, and told Fu Wan about another thing that touched Fu Wan's heart.
The area they had visited last time was teeming with king crabs. Jack, eager to try, had specifically written to Fu Wan asking if she wanted to come over and visit.
He even gave up a month's salary to fund Fu Wan's airfare.
It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted. Although king crabs don't have much meat, if they are abundant, you can really try what it feels like to have king crab freedom.
There were no king crabs in China. Later, with the development of economy and technology, many goods were shipped across the ocean to China and then served on the tables of Chinese people.
However, in this case, the high logistics costs have caused the price of king crabs to be inflated. Sometimes, a king crab can even cost thousands or even tens of thousands of Chinese yuan.
Although she was tempted, Fu Wan couldn't help but shake her head at the thought of another fifteen-hour flight to Los Angeles. If she hadn't been driven by the conviction that she had to complete the mission assigned by the organization, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to go.
It was a fifteen-hour ride, and not only was the ride bumpy, but the jet lag was also very uncomfortable.
But it didn't matter if she didn't go. She could also send some small things from home to Jack and the others. As for whether to go to Los Angeles, she would decide later.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan took out the things in the box one by one.
It was at this time that she discovered two beautiful conch bracelets in the box.
"Wow, what a beautiful conch!"
Fu Ling looked at the bracelet in Fu Wan's hand with sparkling eyes. It was the first time she knew that conch shells could be strung together and worn on the hands.
Fu Wan carefully looked at the conchs on the bracelet. Fortunately, they were all small conchs commonly seen in China, but the colors were bright and they looked very beautiful when worn on her hand.
Come to think of it, the package was sent by mail, and it must have been inspected when it arrived in China. And judging by the time they sent it, it was almost a month ago.
Basically, this package was sent out as soon as Fu Wan returned to China.
If there were any items that were not allowed into the country, they would probably have been detained at customs. And I wouldn't have just discovered that a package had come across the ocean. Customs would have surely asked the post office to contact me to explain the situation.
Fu Wan gave one bracelet each to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu.
"This is a gift from your cousin's daughter, Sister Song Yuqing. Take a look and see if you like it. If you want to give it to her, I'll send it to her later."
"I like it! I want to give her a conch shell too!"
"Me too!"
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu couldn't put down the bracelets. The color combination was very clever. They didn't make their hands look dark when worn, but added a bit of the mysterious color of the ocean.
Boss Fu put down his fishing rod, turned around and asked Fu Wan, "Awan, are you planning to send something to the United States?"
"Yes, my aunt is old and it's not easy for her to come back. She has sent us gifts, so it would be wrong for us not to return the favor."
Jack has a childish nature. If I don't reciprocate, he will definitely nag me every day.
Boss Fu nodded when he heard this, "That's right. I'll talk to your mother later and prepare some things for the house."
"Yes, but we can't send meat. It won't pass customs."
Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui felt a little regretful after hearing this. They had originally planned to send some dried rabbits and pork from home.
But it’s okay. If you are not allowed to send meat, you can still send something else.
Ye Xiaocui immediately had an idea. When she heard that Fu Fengying had a little granddaughter, she decided to buy some good wool and knit a sweater for the child.
After discussing this, Fu Wan put the chocolate into the refrigerator. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu liked it very much, but Ye Xiaocui felt it was a bit bitter.
"Cuckoo..."
Fu Ming's stomach suddenly growled. Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but nag, "Hurry up and put the food down, wash your hands and eat. The food will get cold if you wait."
"Hey, okay!"
Boss Fu and Fu Ming quickly agreed. Boss Fu also remembered something at this time and took out a piece of paper from his inner pocket and handed it to Fu Wan.
"Awan, please keep the purchase order for the fish."
Fu Wan took it and unfolded it. She saw that the harvest from this trip to the sea was very good, and the purchase order was full.
The prices of regular fish were written down. Since he had sold tuna before, Fu San even estimated the price for the tuna.
"Oh, Awan, your uncle said there's some progress on the fresh food boat. He'll come and tell you tomorrow when he's done!"
