Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 866: Startled by the Phone Call

"Chen Hui, what are you going to do today? How many people are coming?"

Guo Hongxia walked to the small door while asking questions.

Seeing the big fish in the tank, he was a little worried: "What should I eat today? It's so big, where should I start?"

"I'll do this. Aunt Hongxia, go wash the vegetables. I bought some and put them in the kitchen."

As Chen Hui spoke, he turned off the oxygen machine first.

Drain some of the sea water first.

Grab the edge of the water tank and flip it over, pouring out the fish along with the remaining sea water.

The clouded grouper lashed its tail violently on the ground, splashing water everywhere.

"Why is there such a loud noise? Do you need my help?" Guo Hongxia asked loudly in the kitchen.

"No, I can handle it."

"Let it shoot for a while, and then deal with it when you don't have the strength."

Chen Hui said this and went back into the house, closing the small door.

The two waited for a few minutes, and the noise outside gradually died down.

When I opened the door, I saw that the grouper had bounced from the door to under the window and was almost reaching the barbecue table.

"That's your destiny, don't be so anxious."

Chen Hui complained and went over to pull the fish back to the sink in the backyard.

After watching Li Jiankang handle big fish several times, I secretly learned some of the essentials.

It’s just that I lack practical experience, so it took me a lot of effort to get it right.

The big fish had just been bled, and the thick layer of fish scales were scraped off the floor.

"Brother Chen Hui! I'm back!"

An Wenjing walked in shouting loudly.

He looked at the fish on the ground, then raised his head to look at Chen Hui and couldn't help laughing.

"Chen Hui, the vegetables are washed, what should we do next?"

Guo Hongxia said this, wiped her hands and came out to take a look.

I tried hard to hold myself back for a few seconds, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Is there something on my face?"

Chen Hui touched his head in confusion and grabbed a large fish scale.

"Yes, there are several more."

An Wenjing pointed at Chen Hui's clothes.

Chen Hui looked down and saw that his clothes were stained with a lot of fish blood and scales.

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "I should have made an extra trip earlier and sent the fish to Li Jiankang after lunch."

"You should go and take a shower first and change your clothes so I can wash them first." An Wenjing said.

"This fish still needs to be chopped and sliced. There's still a lot of work to do. Let's change it after we're done."

"Why are you back?" Chen Hui patted his clothes and pants and asked casually.

"I'll come back to work with you! Don't we have guests tonight?" An Wenjing said.

"You still have air traffic control guests? Isn't the exam coming up on Sunday?"

Guo Hongxia said this, looking at An Wenjing in surprise.

Tell her about the situation of Chen Xiaowu and Quan Yamin.

Normally she doesn't talk about village gossip, but since this matter concerns An Wenjing's future, she couldn't help but say something.

"Are you all working so hard?" An Wenjing was also surprised.

"Go back to our mom's house and read a book. Don't come over for dinner tonight."

"Once everything here is done, I'll pick you up." Chen Hui waved his hand and urged.

An Wenjing no longer insisted, nodded and left.

"Aunt Hongxia, there is a very professional job that I want to give to you now."

As Chen Hui spoke, he went to the sink beside him and wiped his face to wash off the fish blood and mucus on his face.

"Very professional? Is it difficult?" Guo Hongxia was a little unsure.

"It's not that difficult actually. It's not much different from cooking rice."

"Get five or six cups of rice, wash it, and put it in a big pot and cook it until it's half cooked."

"Then, take out 90% of the rice and put it in the rice bucket to cook rice."

"Cook the remaining 10% of rice over low heat until it blooms and melts, and there are no whole rice grains left to scoop out."

"Use a strainer to filter out the rice soup and the rice grains that have turned into dregs." Chen Hui thought about it and nodded, saying, "That should be fine."

He had only eaten this thing before, and heard the waiter mention it while he was eating.

That was several years ago.

I can't think of any more details at the moment.

"It means to cook a pot of thicker rice soup, and not have any rice left at the end, right?"

"How much rice soup should I cook?"

Guo Hongxia sorted out Chen Hui's words.

Although this method is quite troublesome, it is not difficult.

"I have a bowl this big in my cupboard, so I'll probably need three bowls." Chen Hui gestured.

"okay, I get it."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Guo Hongxia nodded, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Chen Hui also followed him into the kitchen, found the large bowl he mentioned and handed it to Guo Hongxia.

Then he took out several basins for washing vegetables, the largest chopping board, a small axe, a machete, a pair of large scissors, and a kitchen knife for cutting vegetables.

All were sorted out and taken outside.

First, deal with the fins and tail fins in all directions.

Then chop off the fish head, chop it into small pieces and put it in a small bowl.

No need to cook soup today.

I agreed with Zhu Wenjie to prepare the fish head and take it back.

Then he chopped the fish into several pieces.

Remove the fish bones in the middle and the fish meat with small bones.

Slice the remaining fish into slices of appropriate thickness.

It gets dark quickly in winter.

When all this was done, it was already dark.

Guo Hongxia cooked the rice and made the rice soup that Chen Hui ordered and showed it to us.

The big fish that were alive and kicking just now have become fish meat in different basins.

"Chen Hui, I didn't expect that you are not only good at catching fish, but also good at killing fish."

"It takes me a long time to catch such a big fish."

I was paid for my job, so I just washed vegetables and made fire in the kitchen. It was an easy job.

Guo Hongxia felt a little embarrassed and just smiled and complimented him a few times.

Then he asked curiously, "Are all these eaten up tonight? Are there many people coming today?"

If I gave her so much fish.

If made into salted fish, you can eat it every day for ten days or half a month.

"Including myself, that makes ten."

"If you don't eat the fish head, there really isn't much fish meat to eat."

Chen Hui shook his arms.

Looking at the processed fish, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

I wiped my nose, and a fishy smell mixed with the smell of blood came to my nose from my cuffs.

After handling a big fish, my clothes were completely unsightly.

"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes."

"Aunt Hongxia, take all these to the kitchen and clean the floor in the yard." Chen Hui said.

"I added too much water to the back pot, and I don't know if it's hot enough."

"I just boiled a pot of water to make tea for the guests later."

"If the water isn't hot enough, use it first. I'll boil another pot right away. It should be in time."

Guo Hongxia brought a pot of fish and walked towards the kitchen while muttering.

I just put the fish down and was about to get the second pot.

There was a rapid ring from the telephone in the small room, which startled Guo Hongxia so much that she almost jumped up.

I remembered what Chen Guobiao said about Chen Huijia'an's phone call.

He shouted upstairs: "Chen Hui, there's a phone call!"
