Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 817 Why should I give you face again?

"Really? Does that mean it's okay?" Li Xu asked again.

"The skin of the naked-breasted eel is very thick and chewy, and it tastes very good when grilled," said Chen Hui.

Chen Yaozu was listening on the side and interrupted to ask, "What does Q-bomb mean?"

"It's very elastic, but not too hard. You'll know if you try it at night."

"Leave the fish to bleed first. I'll go marinate the ribs and pork belly."

Chen Hui said this, put the scissors on the sink beside him, and walked into the house towards the kitchen.

Wash the meat bought at noon.

Cut the pork belly into thin slices and chop off the front end of the ribs and set aside.

Cut the ribs into small pieces and marinate them together.

I took the time to open the lid of the pot and carefully checked the water temperature.

He called to the back of the stove, "Aunt Hongxia, you can stop working on the big pot. Light up the small pot and boil some water."

"Hey! Okay!"

Guo Hongxia responded and stood up to add water to the small pot.

After asking Chen Hui, all the firewood burning in the big pot stove was moved to the small pot stove.

After Chen Hui processed the meat, he also took the time to wash two kinds of vegetables for preparation.

He called Chen Yaozu to help him carry in the naked-breasted eels that had been bled and put them into the big pot.

"What's next?"

Chen Yaozu and Li Xu both gathered together to watch curiously.

"Brother Xu, come and touch the part that has not been soaked in hot water." Chen Hui suggested with a smile.

The naked-breasted eel did not react when it was put into hot water, which showed that it was completely cold.

Li Xu was not afraid at all this time.

He reached out and touched it. "It is indeed quite slippery. I am partly right."

"Yeah! That's right."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took a ladle and poured the hot water onto the areas that had not been soaked.

Then use a kitchen knife to slowly scrape the mucus on the surface of the fish skin.

Seeing Chen Yaozu standing aside, he pointed outside and began to arrange work:
"Uncle Yaozu, go wash the floor outside."

"This fish is too big to handle in the kitchen. We need to take it outside to chop it up."

Chen Yaozu nodded and went without saying a word.

When I walked out of the yard, I suddenly remembered that I was here as a guest today.

While facing the floor, he shouted into the house: "Chen Hui, how can you work for guests?"

"As an uncle, what's wrong with you helping out at your nephew's house?" Li Xu said, turning his head.

Chen Yaozu just followed Chen Hui in deceiving himself.

He was having some opinions.

Seeing Chen Yaozu being humiliated, I felt quite happy.

"Hey!"

Chen Yaozu responded without saying anything and cooperated by cleaning the backyard floor.

The naked-breasted eels in the pot have been processed.

Chen Hui first took a chopping board and placed it on the ground outside.

Then he took out two large basins, a small axe, a pair of scissors and a kitchen knife and lined them up next to the chopping board.

I called Chen Yaozu to help carry out the naked-breasted eel after scraping off the mucus.

"Big! Really big!"

Chen Yaozu put down the fish, shook his hands and sighed.

Chen Hui took a pair of scissors and slowly cut upwards along the fish's butt.

Li Xu saw it, pointed at it and said, "Let's cut off the butthole and throw it away later. It really looks like a butthole."

"Okay! The fish skin is so thick that it's hard to cut it with my new scissors."

It took Chen Hui some effort to cut open the fish's belly.

Turn the skin out and show Li Xu the thick fish skin that has been cut.

"This will definitely taste good." Li Xu nodded.

"Let's roast some of this and bake some of it, and see which one tastes better."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took out the internal organs of the naked eel, cleaned the fish bubbles, and put them in a basin on the side.

Then he picked up the small axe and chopped it down hard.

First chop off the fish's head, then split it in half.

Half of it was used to make fish soup in the evening, and the other half was saved for Li Xu to take back.

Aim the small axe at the fish's body and chop it into a dozen pieces with clangs. Use scissors to cut off the fish skin that has not been cut off.

This naked-breasted eel is very big, and its bones are harder than pig leg bones.

It was almost December, and Chen Hui was sweating profusely from chopping wood.

He washed the mucus and fish blood off his hands, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and said:

"We will cook half of the fish head and two pieces of fish meat tonight."

"I'll pack the rest in bags for you to take home. It'll be great to give to relatives and friends, and it'll taste good if you eat it yourself."

Chen Yaozu immediately said, "Then give me a piece. Can we be friends?"

"Here, pick one for yourself."

Li Xu agreed generously and asked Chen Hui to pick a piece to keep.

Chen Hui was just about to be polite.

Then Chen Yaozu said "Thank you, Brother Xu" and picked a big piece without any hesitation.

"Then should I take half a fish head? Fish heads are nutritious. I can make soup with it for my wife tomorrow." Chen Hui said.

"Why didn't I see the hostess of the house today?"

Li Xu remembered that Chen Hui said he had a wife.

"My mother-in-law had something going on at home, so she went to help."

Chen Hui responded casually.

I went to the small room on the first floor, found a few bags that I had used to pack bowls last time, and packed everything I was going to take back for Li Xu.

Take the rest to the kitchen.

Arrange Guo Hongxia to cook some rice in a small pot.

He took a big bowl of garlic and came out of the kitchen.

When Chen Yaozu saw the bowl of garlic, he immediately knew that Chen Hui was planning to take advantage of him again.

He rushed to say, "I'll take Brother Xu for a walk in the village. He has never been to the beach in our Chenjia Village."

"What's the difference? Aren't they both at the seaside?" Li Xu asked.

"It's different. There's a huge difference!"

"Dasha Village has a sandy beach, while Chenjia Village has rocky beaches!"

"Choose a big reef and stand on it, and watch the sea water rushing towards you with all its might. It's so exciting."

There is really nothing fun to do near the rocky beach.

In order to avoid working, Chen Yaozu worked very hard to promote the product.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Xu became interested.

"Chen Hui, cook well, we will be back after dark."

Chen Yaozu said proudly and left with Li Xu.

When the two came back, it was already completely dark.

Even from a long distance away, you can smell the fragrance coming from Chen Hui's house.

"It smells so good! Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

Chen Yaozu's mouth was watering and he asked loudly as he stepped into the door.

"You guys came back just in time. I'm grilling fish. We'll be eating in a minute or two."

"Uncle Yaozu, why don't you take out the food in the pot first."

Chen Hui replied, pinching a handful of the mixed spices and sprinkling them on the fish.

The oil on the fish was sizzling, and the aroma of the spices was immediately brought out.

Li Xugang walked into the dining room.

The smell made me hungry all of a sudden. I strode to the backyard and said:
"You said last time that eating at your house is no worse than eating at a state-owned restaurant. To be honest, I kind of doubt your bragging."

"Now I believe it a little bit. At least it smells much better than the restaurant."

"Chen Hui, you have to have a drink with me today."

"If you don't even give me this little bit of face, forget about doing business with me in the future."
