Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 751 Boss, is there anything wrong with this dish?

"Go get something!"

Chen Hui answered without turning his head, and walked down the terrace in front of the door with the basin.

Standing in front of Chen Guogang's door, he shouted inside: "Aunt Hongmei!"

"Chen Hui!? What's the matter?" Wang Hongmei wiped her hands on her apron and strode out to ask.

"Pick some shallots and cilantro."

Chen Hui handed over the dried persimmons in his hand with a smile.

"I just heard yesterday that you were going to turn over the corners of the house to plant these things, and you're pulling them out today?!"

Wang Hongmei joked.

He took the dried persimmons and generously let Chen Hui pick them as he pleased.

"I just said I wanted to plant it yesterday, but it won't grow today."

"But every time I need these, I will remember that they are right outside your house."

When Chen Hui mentioned this, Wang Hongmei remembered it.

In the past, when Chen Hui was still a little confused, he would occasionally make something with Chen Xiaoqiao and cook it at home.

If they lack these things, they will come to the front of their house to pull them out.

Without even saying hello, he just pulled the plug and left.

"Thank you, you don't need to remember me so much at a time like this."

"You can pick them yourself. I still have some radishes cooking in the pot. I'll go back and watch the fire."

Wang Hongmei didn't see much from Chen Hui.

After saying that, he turned around and went back home to work.

Chen Hui picked a handful of green onions and a few stalks of coriander and took them back home.

Seeing that Guo Hongxia was a little busy peeling garlic, I sat down and helped her peel the garlic.

Guo Hongxia was in the kitchen, chopping garlic with two kitchen knives.

Chen Hui was in the backyard, killing and cleaning the shrimps and tiger crabs.

Carrying the seafood into the kitchen.

Then she saw Guo Hongxia standing by the stove, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

"Aunt Hongxia, go outside and wash your face. I'll do the chopping." Chen Hui said as he put down the seafood.

"I only knew that cutting onions would make me cry, but I didn't expect that cutting garlic would also make me cry."

Guo Hongxia wiped away her tears.

Even though I didn't really cry, I still felt a little embarrassed.

“I can also chop shallots and scallions!”

"It's just that you have to cut a lot of these, onions will choke after just a few cuts."

Chen Hui asked Guo Hongxia to wash her face.

He held two kitchen knives, closed his eyes, and moved his wrists up and down quickly.

He chopped hard for a while, took a step back, opened the crack and looked through.

When the garlic was almost chopped, I found a strainer and rinsed it with clean water.

"Chen Hui, what is this little stove outside used for? It's very well made!"

Guo Hongxia came in after washing her face and asked curiously.

"Boil some water and grill something to eat."

"Aunt Hongxia, please light up the big pot over here and get ready to start the fire." Chen Hui said.

"Okay! Here I come."

Guo Hongxia wiped her hands and sat down behind the stove.

Add some wood to the small pot of simmering chicken soup.

He took out a burning piece of wood and put it in the big stove.

With the addition of dry branches and leaves, the big pot was soon burning.

I made garlic sauce once last time.

Chen Hui already had experience in using lard and controlling the heat, so he quickly got it done.

Wash the pot thoroughly.

Pour in a few large ladles of hot water and place the steamer rack.

While waiting for the water in the pot to boil, Chen Hui began to make various preparations.

The tiger crabs are arranged in a circle, forming a beautiful shape on the plate.

Arrange the processed shrimps and add a thick layer of garlic sauce.

The chicken soup is already fragrant.

This dish of stewed red roses only requires chicken broth and there is no need to wait until the chicken is stewed until soft.

Chen Hui took out five small bowls and filled them with chicken soup. One fish in each bowl, put the processed red rosehips in, and added a thin slice of ginger to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

Then put it all into the big pot.

He said to Guo Hongxia who stood up and looked at him curiously, "Aunt Hongxia, turn up the heat! Just steam them until cooked."

"Okay! Right now!"

Guo Hongxia was very curious about who came to Chen Hui's house every day and why every meal was so delicious.

But she didn't ask any more questions.

I simply agreed and sat down to light the fire.

Seafood is steaming in the pot.

Chen Hui took a small stool and sat beside the charcoal stove to grill lamb chops.

"Chen Hui, why are you roasting lamb here? Don't you have a new stove outside?"

Guo Hongxia smelled the aroma of barbecue and leaned half of her body to look.

"That was just made yesterday. The stove builder said it would take three or four days before it could be used."

"I don't know much about the current materials, so I'll just listen to the master."

As Chen Hui spoke, he brushed a layer of seasoning for the marinated lamb chops on with a brush.

Then use chopsticks to turn it over and continue grilling.

There was a lot of fat on the lamb chops, which dripped onto the charcoal fire on the ground, making a sizzling sound.

Occasionally a small flame would appear.

Guo Hongxia looked at it for a while, swallowed, sat up straight and continued to make a fire.

Chen Hui’s lamb chops were grilled, and the seafood in the pot was almost cooked.

"Brother Chen Hui, I'm back!"

"Is the water ready? I'll make some tea. The guests will be here soon!"

An Wenjing came back from get off work.

He came in shouting from the doorstep.

"Now that you mention it, you really haven't boiled the water."

"How do you know someone is coming?! You saw someone? Who are they?"

As Chen Hui spoke, he fanned the charcoal stove a few times with his fan.

The kettle was filled with spring water, and I put it on the stove and fanned it vigorously a few times.

"Yes! I saw County Magistrate Xu being talked to by the village chief, so I hurried back to my uncle's house."

"There were four men and one woman, and they seemed to have a good relationship."

An Wenjing said this and took the fan and started fanning herself.

"Then do I need to leave first? Will the guests mind?" Guo Hongxia asked.

"Aunt Hongxia, don't be anxious. We are not ashamed to be seen by others."

"Today's guest is quite special. Brother Chen Hui and I will also go back to my mother's house for lunch later."

An Wenjing comforted Guo Hongxia.

I went to the cabinet outside and took out the tea that He Juanjuan had given me last time.

He took it into the kitchen and asked, "Brother Chen Hui, can I use this tea?"

"Yes, Sister Juanjuan's tea is quite good."

"Next time I go to the county town, ask her to buy some for me."

Chen Hui said casually as he put the prepared dishes into the side pot to keep them warm.

The big pot was lit, and he quickly fried two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of refreshing vegetable, shrimp and rice soup.

An Wenjing had just made the tea when she heard a few people talking and laughing outside the door.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing went out to greet the guests.

Guo Hongxia has some social anxiety, and she feels even more uncomfortable seeing such distinguished guests.

She untied her apron and hung it aside, then took the opportunity when a few people came in chatting and laughing to slip away with a very low sense of presence.

Several guests sat down at the tea table and drank a cup of tea.

Chen Hui arranged the meals.

I specifically told him that there was rice in the kitchen and he could add more if needed.

Holding hands with An Wenjing, he prepared to go back to Lin Jiao's house for dinner.

Just as he reached the door of his house, County Magistrate Xu chased out and shouted, "Chen Hui, come back quickly, what are you cooking?"

"County Mayor, is there anything wrong with the food?"

An Wenjing said this and looked at Chen Hui with some uneasiness.
