Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 823: The most terrible thing about doing business is intertwining human relationships

Ok?
Chen Hui stopped and turned to look at Huang Shuqing in confusion.

"I'm not eating here today. Once you're done cooking, find something to put it in and I'll take it away."

"Wang Guixiang went to my daughter's house today. I found an excuse not to go and invited a few friends to my house for dinner," Huang Shuqing explained.

Chen Hui was still a little confused.

If Huang Shuqing wants to invite friends to dinner, he can just bring them over.

Eat when you come, and leave when you are full.

"Ahem! I told them I got it myself and cooked something delicious for them."

Huang Shu cleared his throat, smiled and said.

Chen Hui also smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

He had done this before, ordering takeout and pretending it was his own cooking.

"Then shall I cook the dishes I have prepared for you? Anyway, I have already collected the money, and you only want these two things. I will not refund the money." Chen Hui asked.

"If you ask me, you are more sensible!"

"Cook it quickly, I'll take it and leave." Huang Shuqing said with a satisfied smile.

Chen Hui asked Guo Hongxia to make him a cup of tea first.

He opened the lid of the pot and turned over the braised turtle legs inside.

Cover the lid and continue to clean the edamame.

Mix the prepared cucumber, preserved egg, and tofu shreds.

After searching through all the boxes and cabinets at home, I found...

I don’t have an aluminum lunch box for delivering meals at home.

"Uncle Shuqing, what did you ride here today? It wasn't a bicycle, was it?"

Chen Hui walked to the kitchen door and asked.

"What a joke! Such a big old turtle, stewing it in soup would at least be a big pot."

"How can I be so stupid as to ride a bicycle here? Who will be blamed if I get scalded to death?"

"I borrowed a tricycle and rode here, and parked it in front of your mother-in-law's house." Huang Shuqing said proudly.

"I can rest assured that!"

"I'll put all the food in an enamel blanket for you. I don't have a lunch box at home."

Chen Hui walked into the small room while talking.

Take out the several large enamel cups that the villagers gave as gifts when you moved to a new house.

At the time I thought this was useless.

I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

Chen Hui didn't even bother looking for something to put the herbal soup in, and directly asked Huang Shuqing to take away the stew pot.

Send him to Lin Jiao's house.

He also said: "Drink more. If you eat less medicinal food, it will not be effective."

"Got it! I'll take out the braised food for them to eat."

"I'll keep this soup for myself. If it's useful, I'll come back to you next time."

Huang Shuqing waved his hand and rode away on his tricycle.

An Wenyi came over, looked at Chen Hui, and then looked at Huang Shuqing who was leaving.

Pulling the corner of Chen Hui's clothes, he asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"Tell me, does this old guy want to have the best meal for himself? That's why he found an excuse to take the pot away."

"What do you mean? He took our pot away?"

An Wenyi doesn’t quite understand.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Huang Shuqing's back was obviously much fiercer.

"You little brat, you're really interesting." Chen Hui rubbed her forehead and turned away.

"Brother-in-law! Mom asked if you will have lunch at home?" An Wenyi shouted.

"Your sister isn't coming back! I'll eat at home."

Chen Hui responded and walked forward without looking back.

I just cooked but didn't eat today.

He and Guo Hongxia quickly cleaned up the kitchen and backyard.

Chen Hui took out ten yuan and handed it to Guo Hongxia.

Guo Hongxia was sharp-eyed and saw that Chen Hui had a five-dollar bill in his hand.

He pushed the ten-yuan note away and took the five-yuan note.

"Not today, there's not much work to do."

"I just came to deal with a turtle and light a fire."

"Even if you don't pay me, I will come to help you if you call me." Guo Hongxia said politely.

"Aunt Hongxia, this is business, so we have to keep things separate!" Chen Hui said in a serious tone.

He took the five dollars back and stuffed ten dollars into her hand.

The worst thing about hiring someone to do a job is the involvement of personal relationships.

If there is less work today, should we pay you less? If there is more work tomorrow, should we pay you more?

How to calculate how much work is too little and how to calculate how much work is too much will soon become a mess.

"Hey! How can you be so honest, kid?"

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Guo Hongxia looked at Chen Hui with a serious and solemn expression.

I can’t explain why, but I actually felt a little scared.

Without saying anything more, he took the money, exchanged a few polite words and left.

Chen Hui went upstairs to pack his and An Wenjing's spare clothes and took the materials that An Wenjing wanted to see.

After lunch, I waited for a while.

Wang Hongmei came to see him as agreed.

"Aunt Hongmei, please ride your bike." Chen Hui said, pointing at the bicycle under the stairs.

An Wenjing didn't ride her bike this morning.

Next time he comes back from Dasa Village, he may not come back at the same time as me.

Chen Hui was in need of someone to help him ride his bicycle over.

"I ride a bike? Okay!"

"When I went out, I boasted to Xiao Ming that I could ride a motorcycle later. He was so envious."

Wang Hongmei looked at the motorcycle outside the door with longing.

I've never sat on it, I really want to try it.

"You have another bike in Dasa Village. Just let Wenjing ride that back tomorrow." Lin Jiao reminded.

"My uncle has been using that car a lot lately."

"Aunt Hongmei, please go over there on your bike first."

"When you're done talking, I'll take you back on my motorcycle," said Chen Hui.

"Really? Let's make a deal, you can't lie to me."

Wang Hongmei said happily as she pushed An Wenjing's bicycle out the door.

Haven't ridden in several years though.

After trying it a few times, I quickly got used to it again.

"Aunt Hongmei, do you know where my aunt's house is?" Chen Hui asked as he caught up.

"I know!"

Wang Hongmei knew that Chen Hui's car was fast, so she waved her hand and asked him to go first.

Chen Hui didn't do anything fancy and just accelerated and left.

Chen Huihong is working in the workshop.

Seeing Chen Hui coming alone, he blurted out, "Where's Hong Mei?"

"She's behind on her quiet bike, so she'll be a little slower."

"Aunt, do you have any goods to deliver today? If so, I'll go deliver them first."

Chen Hui responded and took the cloth bag into the house.

He said to An Wenjing: "Wife, I got your information for you."

"I was just thinking about the documents I forgot to bring. I can't afford to waste two days. Just bring them to me."

"Brother Chen Hui, we really have a tacit understanding now."

An Wenjing is wiping the table.

He leaned forward and kissed Chen Hui on the face.

Wu Shuisheng came out of the room and quickly went back.

He repeated in an exaggerated tone: "I saw nothing! I saw nothing."

"Uncle, that's enough."

"Will you accompany us to the sea the day after tomorrow? Just half a day." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"What's the point of going there in half a day? It's just a waste of gas money." Wu Shuisheng was puzzled.

"I took those rich ladies from the county town there. They said they bought a new fishing boat and haven't been out to play with it yet."

"I go in the morning and usually come back around one or two in the afternoon."

"Bring the seafood you brought back to my house for dinner."

As soon as Chen Hui finished speaking, Wang Hongmei's sharp voice came from outside the yard:
"Huihong, I'm coming!"
