After talking to Ma Zhigang, Chu Xian got to know him a little better. The man was a small shareholder in Sky Travel Cruise and was currently also the main supervisor.
He also explained that everyone on the cruise ship was rich and that if something happened, Sky Travel Cruise would suffer huge losses, so he was very grateful to Chu Xian for his actions.
To this young, successful and moreover, incredibly brave young man, Ma Zhigang expressed great admiration – after all, no ordinary man could’ve jumped into the sea and fought a shark.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look at how they’re dealing with the shark!” Ma Zhigang chuckled and stood up.
The shark was being processed on the Mermaid, and some cooks in white coats were cutting it into pieces. The shark’s meat was thick and white, and cooked shark skin was also very delicious, not to mention the fin. The market price for shark fin was something around four to five thousand RMB per catty (~0.6kg).
The great white shark had four fins, and altogether, the appendages weighed around thirty catties. The back fin was the most flavorful, and Ma Zhigang gave the back fin to Chu Xian without hesitation.
Chu Xian didn’t pretend to be polite; he directly stored it in the storage cabin on the fishing ship.
Of course, Chu Xian also took out three of the crystal fish, some large crabs, and giant lobsters and gave them to Ma Zhigang.
“Brother Chu, look at this stuff! Many thanks, tsk tsk. It’s not easy to find such large lobsters and crabs!” Ma Zhigang laughed. The large crabs and giant lobsters weren’t cheap, and those three or four specimens were worth at least two or three thousand RMB.
“Hehe, compared to the crabs and lobsters, it’s really these transparent small fish that are really good. Make some sashimi with them. They taste incredible!” Chu Xian laughed and pointed out the three crystal fish!
“Oh? Make some sashimi from these strange little transparent fish? Going by what you said, Brother Chu, it seems like these are more precious than the lobsters and crabs!” Ma Zhigang replied with growing interest, leaning over to look at the crystal fish more carefully.
“Of course! On a normal trip, we can find these lobsters and crabs, but these crystal fish are incredibly rare. We’ve only found a couple dozen, but they taste amazing!” Chu Xian nodded.
“Haha, then I’ll have to thank you again, Brother Chu Xian! I’ll have to ask the cook to prepare some for me tonight!” Ma Zhigang laughed.
The shark was quickly sliced up. Most of the carcass could be used – the bone was put aside to make soup, the skin could be boiled or fried, and of course, the meat could be boiled, fried, or put into the soup. The fin could also be used to make soup or could be put into a porridge. The list went on.
The chef came over and quickly described the different ways they could cook and prepare the fish for the feast that night.
Ma Zhigang nodded. There were about two hundred people on the cruise ship, which would add up to over twenty tables. The over three-ton shark was more than enough for two hundred people, and there might even be leftovers.
It was still two to three hours before nightfall, and the shark still needed to be prepared. Ma ZHigang took Chu Xian to tour the cruise ship.
The three-floor cruise ship was big, and in addition to the rooms on the lowest level, there was an entertainment area on the second floor with gambling, golfing, swimming, a gym, a beauty salon with a spa, and a nice café to sit down and chat in.
The top deck of the cruise was where people sunbathed, swam and held their parties.
There were also operatic performances and shows during the night, and on this type of luxury liner cruise ship, they even had some pop stars on board to perform.
You could stand by the railing and look out at the endless sea, or if you were up for it, you could try your hand at some fishing. You could relax and play, relax and laugh.
The cruise ship was an elegant, restful, freeing trip, and was one of the most popular forms of enjoying vacations. It was also the most popular form of leisure for wealthy people lately.
Ma Zhigang led Chu Xian to tour all the different places, introducing some of the things to him.
Everyone on the cruise greeted him warmly, and Chu Xian returned their calls with a smile. Near the end of the tour, a little dude followed along beside him, the little turtle. He insisted that big brother teach him how to catch sharks.
Chu Xian could only laugh helplessly.
“Big brother, do sharks taste good?” On the third floor of the cruise, the little turtle leaned over and asked him.
“Of course they taste good. You should eat a lot tonight!” Chu Xian ruffled the boy’s hair.
“Okay, then I’m going to eat a lot and grow up as strong as a shark!” The little turtle raised his hands and took on a superhero pose.
“Chu Xian, where are you from?” Nearby, the little turtle’s parents and other parents of the children Chu Xian saved were gathered around, trailing behind him.
“Hai Qing City,” Chu Xian replied, “Big brothers, where are you all from?”
“Jing Hai!”
“Shang Jing!”
“Jin Cheng!”
Chu Xian chatted with them. The parents weren’t particularly old; all of them were in their mid-thirties, but they all had money and owned companies or their families owned company.
And if you thought about it, it made sense. Seven days on a cruise ship would come up to forty or fifty thousand RMB per person; normal people just couldn’t afford it.
After they talked and exchanged contact information, the parents even invited Chu Xian over to their houses, and some of them even said he could come over if he ever needed help.
Chu Xian laughed and nodded. The conversations were quite pleasant.
“Everyone, it’s almost time for dinner. How about we all go down and try the shark feast?” The sky was darkening as Ma Zhigang walked over and smiled.
“Haha, good. Let’s go down and have a taste.” Gu Li guffawed and nodded, waving to Chu Xian and heading down towards the first-floor restaurant as he pulled little turtle along.
“Tsk tsk, I’ve tried many things, but this will be my first tasting a shark feast!” Gu Li licked his lips.
“Haha, Sir Gu, I’m sure you’ll be satisfied!” Fan Zhigang laughed.
Chu Xian could tell from their conversation and the way Ma Zhigang greeted him passionately that Gu Li was very important, but the man was extremely straightforward and was very direct about his gratitude.
Gu Li and Ma Zhigang walked on either side of Chu Xian to show their respect and gratitude.
Their small actions pleased Chu Xian; it could be because most people loved being shown face, Chu Xian included.
Although food was served 24/7 on the cruise, almost everyone showed up for the shark feast.
“Come, come, Brother Chu Xian. I’ve arranged the seating for your employees, you can come over here!”
The greeters and waiters seated people in the hall. Everyone here was well educated and appeared polite at the very least, so even with the hall packed with two hundred or so people, it wasn’t noisy at all.
Chu Xian followed Ma Zhigang to a table with Gu Li, his wife Fei Ya, and the little turtle.
There were already five people sitting around the table. There was an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man in his twenties.
“Sir Wang, Sir Li, Sir Zhao… let me introduce everyone. This is Chu Xian. I think you all already know him!” Fan Zhigang called out to everyone around the table.
“Of course, of course. We all recognize our hero. Haha, we have to thank Chu Xian for this opportunity!”
