Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 822: If you go catch a turtle for me tomorrow, I’ll give you more money!
"Brother Xu, don't look at this. They have already paid for it and will come to have lunch soon."

"How much did he pay? I'll pay an extra hundred!"

"."

Chen Hui was helpless.

Where does all this money come from? They are willing to spend it.

"This is not a matter of money. Business people value credit."

"When a customer comes, I'll tell him that I sold the old turtle for a hundred dollars more. That's really bad behavior, don't you think?"

Chen Hui grabbed the bag and took the herbs off the handlebars.

He muttered as he walked towards his home.

"Never mind. I knew you would say that."

The people who can afford to eat this stuff are not those who are financially tight.

Li Xu had been mentally prepared for this.

"I'll look for it for you next time I go back, and leave it for you if there's anything."

The reservoir is so big, if there is only one, why can't there be two?
"It's as if you can have it if you want it." Li Xu said mercilessly.

No matter what, we still need the things.

He still asked Chen Hui to send such a big turtle next time, or any pure white or golden grouper, to him.

With his words, today's business deal is settled.

Chen Hui nodded and said with a smile: "I'll remember it. Please leave me your address later."

"Then can you go and look for it tomorrow? I'll pay you more!" Li Xu asked.

"So impatient?"

With the speed at which he was spending money, Chen Hui wanted to persuade him to be more frugal.

Li Xu nodded, "I haven't seen it before."

"I probably won't go tomorrow, but I will go the day after tomorrow."

"I have invited a few guests to go fishing together. I will definitely give the ordinary catch to them. I will keep this special one for you."

Chen Hui spoke normally.

Li Xu immediately became interested: "You also take guests out to sea? You have a fishing boat?"

"It's a relative's. I occasionally rent it for a day or two when he's not out at sea."

It looks like we're going to have fun.

Chen Hui had a steady hand.

If the things are not yours, it will be easy to refuse them later.

"Then you make arrangements and take me with you next time."

"The last time I went out to sea with a fishing boat was last year. I haven't gone out to play for a long time." Li Xu said immediately.

"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Yao to come along then." Chen Hui said.

Li Xu smiled with satisfaction.

I arrived at Chen Hui's house, paid for yesterday's meal, and left his home address.

He repeatedly reminded Chen Hui to remember to save some goods for him.

He rode away on his bike in a very cool manner.

"Chen Hui, who are these people you know? They all look rich."

Chen Liping came out of his home.

Seeing that Chen Hui had a lot of money in his hand, he came forward curiously and asked.

Chen Hui turned around and said, "Mr. Liping, what's wrong with your face? We are just arguing, why are you fighting?"

"No! I didn't do anything!"

"I accidentally fell on the threshold today, so I didn't do anything."

Chen Liping waved his hands awkwardly.

Changing the subject, he continued to ask, "Chen Hui, why do so many people come to your house for dinner recently? They all look quite wealthy, do you have any way to make money?"

"I don't have any way to make money."

“If I had, I would have gone to the county town to build a house. How could I stay in the village?”

Not everyone is worth your help.

For someone like Chen Liping, it's enough to just handle the situation well.

Chen Hui stuffed the money into his pocket, said a few perfunctory words, and went into the house carrying the snakeskin bag.

It seems that Chen Liping left tactfully.

He took out the money and counted it again. It was exactly five hundred yuan, no more, no less.

The price was not mentioned yesterday. This price was decided by Li Xu himself, and it was slightly higher than the price Chen Hui had originally planned to sell it for.

Satisfied, he took the money to the second floor and locked it in the drawer of the wardrobe.

He went downstairs, took the snakeskin bag and walked to the backyard, and poured the old turtle out of the snakeskin bag. Looking at the old turtle whose shell was as big as the basin, Chen Hui was a little puzzled.

How do you kill this thing?

"Chen Hui! You are finally back."

Guo Hongxia spoke loudly as she strode in from outside.

"What's going on? Why does everyone say this to me when they see me today?" Chen Hui asked, looking up.

"Wen Jing told me yesterday that we would have guests coming to our house at noon."

"I thought the lunchtime guests would come earlier, but you weren't here the two times I came."

"I just heard from the road repairman, Master He, that he saw you and a stranger coming home, so I hurried over here."

Guo Hongxia said this as she put down the dried pickled vegetables she brought for Chen Hui.

I went into the kitchen, got my apron, tied it on, came out and exclaimed, "Wow!"

"How about it, will he kill me?"

Chen Hui spread his hands.

This has really not been dealt with.

"I can. I've killed a small one before, so the big one should be about the same."

Guo Hongxia said this, rolled up her sleeves and asked Chen Hui to step aside.

He patted the turtle shell and said:

"You turtle shell, do you want to keep it whole?"

"Some people will hang them up for beauty, and they can be made into tortoise jelly after drying."

Huang Shuqing always ate turtle secretly.

Isn't it a handle to keep it as a souvenir?
"No need, just take care of it and give it to the guests!" said Chen Hui.

"Okay! Then I'll do it."

All the tools used to process the naked eels yesterday are here.

Guo Hongxia took the tools and started working.

Chen Hui watched from the side for a while.

Seeing that Guo Hongxia didn't need any help, she went back to the kitchen to light a fire and boil the herbal soup.

Guo Hongxia quickly dealt with the old turtle.

He came in with a big bowl of meat and kept exclaiming that the turtle was really big and its legs were thicker than chicken legs.

Chen Hui picked up the turtle's leg and looked at it.

The texture of the muscle looks like good beef.

"This is really good. Braised pork should be delicious too."

Chen Hui picked out the two hind legs and placed them on the other side.

The rest are all blanched, added to the boiled herbal soup, and put into a small pot to stew the soup.

Then start working on the two turtle legs.

Cut the meat into pieces of appropriate size and braise them in a pan after the tide rises.

Chen Hui took care of the braised turtle legs in the pot while also finding time to prepare other dishes.

Guo Hongxia had to take care of the heat of two pots, big and small, at the same time.

Both of them were busy and having fun.

I didn't even notice someone entered the house.

"Today I have finally seen what it means to be arrogant."

Huang Shuqing leaned against the cabinet in the dining room and sighed as he watched the busy work in the kitchen.

Chen Hui was picking the thin skin of the edamame kernels and was startled when he heard the noise.

"Uncle Shuqing, why are you like a ghost? You can't even make a sound when you walk."

Chen Hui complained helplessly and looked at the watch on the small table in the kitchen.

Pointing at the clock face, he continued, "It's only half past ten, why are everyone so eager to eat?"

"If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain."

"How is my big turtle cooked? Is it steamed? Or braised?"

Huang Shuqing talked and laughed as he came in to look at this pot and then that pot.

"That's a pot of herbal soup over there. The main effect depends on it."

"One for soup, one for stewing."

"If there's no one else, would a vegetarian dish be enough?"

Chen Hui pointed at the pot and said he was going to wash the vegetables again.

"No need to cook anything else. I'm not eating here today."
