Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 773 How much does a hermit crab cost? Can it be eaten raw?
"Why do I feel like what he said makes some sense?" Chef Xu was a little shaken and looked at Chen Yaozu undecidedly.

"Then call them over and give it a try. It's not something that can be decided right away anyway."

"If it works, then sign the contract. If it doesn't, forget it."

After Chen Yaozu finished speaking, he explained the situation to Chen Hui:

"There is a salary for being an apprentice in a restaurant, five dollars a month."

"If you want to sign a contract, you have to work for at least two years, otherwise you will have to pay double the amount."

"There was one in front of me, but I didn't dare come on the day I had to sign the contract."

Chen Hui was overjoyed when he heard this. "No tuition fees, but salary? There is such a good thing?"

"You work all day and only have two days off a month, and you still want to charge people money?"

"Chen Hui, if you were born a few decades earlier, you would be Zhou Baopi." Chen Yaozu complained.

"I'm not really here to do odd jobs. I can learn some skills."

"Don't you have to pay a few dollars in tuition to go to elementary school?" Chen Hui smiled.

This is good news.

Uncle Lin and the others would probably be very happy if they knew this.

"When can the one you introduced come over?" asked Chef Li.

"Tomorrow, can I ask him to come to you directly tomorrow?" Chen Hui asked.

"Okay! Just let him come to me." Chef Li nodded.

It’s getting late to discuss things.

People who went to buy groceries carried bags of vegetables into the kitchen.

Chen Yaozu patted Chen Hui and said:

"Come on, go get your things."

"There's a banquet to be held tonight, and I also have to go to the dock to pick up the goods."

Chen Hui went to Chen Yaozu's house to get the water tank and hermit crabs, and took them to Huang Xiulian's house.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, I found a small doorbell hanging on the side of the door.

Press it and you will hear a "Ding Dong~Ding Dong~" sound in the house.

The door inside opened quickly.

A young girl poked her head out, saw who it was and said in surprise: "Chen Hui? Why are you here?"

"It's Chen Hui, call him in."

Huang Wenqian had her hair tied in a low ponytail and was wearing a set of ordinary sportswear.

Huang Xiulian's voice had just floated out when she had already trotted to the iron gate.

He opened the door and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you busy recently?"

"Well, there's been a lot going on lately."

Chen Hui said this falsely and looked at her seriously.

"What are you looking at?"

Huang Wenqian asked in confusion and looked down at herself.

"Now he really looks like a student, and you can tell at a glance that he is very good at studying." Chen Hui said.

"Of course! I already feel like Xiamen University is waving to me."

Huang Wenqian said this and waved to Chen Hui to come into the house.

"Boy, you finally remembered me, your sister, right? Did you get something rare and good?"

Huang Xiulian wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.

He looked at the water tank, then looked up at Chen Hui in confusion.

"The stuff is average, but it's really rare!"

"This is called a hermit crab. You must have heard of it, right?" Chen Hui asked.

"Is this a hermit crab? I've seen it in a book!"

Huang Wenqian caught one out of curiosity to take a look.

Outside the big snail shell, the crab legs that couldn't retract were constantly scratching at it.

"This thing is so special! I want to try it!" Huang Wenqian said, looking at Huang Xiulian expectantly.

"purchase!"

Huang Xiulian agreed without hesitation and asked Chen Hui, "How much do you sell these crabs for?"

"No money required!" Chen Hui said generously.

Today's hermit crabs are of decent size, but unfortunately their legs are not very big.

The price of this kind of product sold to purchasing points will not be too high.

I originally thought that selling them for three or five yuan each at a restaurant would be good. But since Chen Yaozu didn't want them, there was no point in selling them to Huang Xiulian.

It would be better to do a favor and maintain the relationship with VVVIP customers.

"I'm so sorry. You specially delivered it to me and didn't charge me for it." Huang Xiu Lian said politely.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"This thing is rare and delicious. I thought you would like it, so I gave it to you to try."

Chen Hui said as he caught one.

Demonstrate to Huang Xiulian how to separate the hermit crab from the snail shell.

"So this is what it's like inside? What a huge butt!"

Huang Xiulian took the crab in her hand and studied it with interest for a while.

Then he looked at Chen Hui and said, "Chen Hui, I am very grateful that you sent me something, but I don't know how to cook."

"That is to say, since you are delivering the goods to my house, why not cook it for me as well?"

"It's getting late now. Let's have lunch together after we finish cooking?"

Huang Wenqian smiled happily and asked Chen Hui.

"That's right, go back after dinner!"

"There's no one else at home today, except Qianqian and I, my eldest daughter-in-law and my grandson."

"I stewed pig's trotters this morning, and now I'm wondering what else to cook."

"It's just right for you to bring a bowl back to Wen Jing later!"

"She's also at the stage where her belly is growing. The baby grows fast at this time, so she must eat more oily and meaty food."

Huang Xiu Lian talked on and on.

I went into the kitchen, got out a basin, and caught all the hermit crabs in the tank.

Now that things have come to this, Chen Hui feels embarrassed to leave.

I had no choice but to follow him into the kitchen.

Chen Hui is handling hermit crabs by the sink.

Huang Wenqian and Huang Xiulian stood on the left and right, watching curiously.

While watching, Huang Xiu Lian did not forget to ask Chen Hui about An Wenjing's situation.

"Aunt, you're so noisy!"

"There's a student here who keeps talking about having children. That's not good."

Huang Wenqian endured for a long time, but still couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong with this kid? Aren't you going to get married and have kids in the future?"

"When I was your age, I was already carrying all the big ones in my belly."

Huang Xiulian retorted.

He knocked on Huang Wenqian's door and said, "You should go read a book. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"I have to go to cram school this afternoon. I study six and a half days a week, and I have to talk about it during this half day."

Huang Wenqian muttered softly and showed no intention of leaving.

Listen to Huang Xiu Lian continue chatting about family matters.

Look at Chen Hui taking all the hermit crabs out of the snail shells, and scrubbing the legs of each one very clean.

"Sister Xiulian, are we going to steam all of these?"

"Since there are only a few of us today, why don't we steam half of it and make soup with the other half?" Chen Hui asked.

"There is already soup. Didn't you just say you wanted to stew the pig's trotters?" Huang Xiu Lian reminded.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about it for a moment."

Chen Hui smiled and suggested:

"How about braising half of it? It will be delicious too."

Huang Xiulian nodded. "You decide. You are much more particular about food than I am."

"it is good!"

Chen Hui picked out five big ones and put them aside to be steamed.

The remaining few should be divided into two.

The second half, which Huang Xiulian called "big butt", is actually the part of the hermit crab's body that was cut off.

Remove the skin and excess internal organs, leaving the crab roe and a large piece of white and tender crab meat.

"Wow, this crab meat looks like lobster meat?"

"Can this be eaten raw? Is it the sashimi you made earlier?"
