Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 914: A lingering feeling

The herbs Wu Daisong picked were in a particularly large patch, and it took a lot of time to boil them twice.

While cooking, Chen Hui told Guo Hongxia how to make soup.

The key points were emphasized several times.

The herbal soup is ready.

Take the tiger bones that have been soaked overnight out of the basin, cut off the meat first, chop the bones into smaller pieces and rinse them again.

Put everything into a large casserole, add grass soup and cook on a charcoal stove.

After discussing the timing with Guo Hongxia, I gave the job to her.

I went to Lin Jiao's house to have breakfast.

I rode my bike to the county town to buy vegetables, and bought charcoal from a firewood seller in town.

We returned to the village with big and small bags and continued to make busy preparations.

"Chen Hui, why don't you come and fan it."

"The water is quite cold today. I'm going to wash those things." Guo Hongxia asked in the kitchen.

I'm paid several dollars a day.

She felt a little embarrassed as she sat in the kitchen and looked at the stove for a while.

"No, young people are not afraid of cold water."

"Aunt Hongxia, don't worry about anything else today. Just take good care of this pot of tiger bone soup. It's more important than anything else."

It’s so boring to just sit there without a mobile phone to play with.

Chen Hui didn't want to at all.

"Well! Then I'll just watch it carefully."

Guo Hongxia was very happy about it.

He said happily and turned around to fan himself with the fan in his hand.

It took Chen Hui more than an hour to prepare all the vegetables for dinner.

Went into the kitchen and looked for a while.

Guo Hongxia is very patient and can control the heat much better than I do.

"Aunt Hongxia, please take care of the stove first. I'm going to get something from my mother-in-law."

There is nothing to do at home for the time being.

Chen Hui found an excuse and prepared to go out for a walk.

"Okay! Then tell Guo Biao on the way and ask him to go back and get some food."

"This stove needs someone to operate it. Come and take my place after you have lunch," said Guo Hongxia.

Everyone in the village knows that Chen Hui and An Wenjing eat at Lin Jiao's house every day.

When there are no customers, the fire may not be opened once a month.

"Okay, I'll go and tell you."

Chen Hui nodded and went out.

First I went to the village to find Chen Guobiao.

Uncle Lin and Wang Zheng were there too. When they saw Chen Hui coming, they pulled him over to have tea and chat.

Everyone is curious about what Chen Hui did with the big tiger last time.

Chen Hui made up a few random sentences.

Said he sold the fur to a friend who liked it.

The tiger meat was also sold to several regular customers in the county.

The South China tiger is much more valuable than the leopard, and the total sale price was two to three thousand yuan.

“So many?!”

Wang Zheng was extremely envious.

Unfortunately, my skills are not good enough to work with the hunting team.

"That's not a lot." Uncle Lin said.

The prize money was three thousand, plus the tiger was sold for three thousand, which made a total of six thousand dollars.

There were seven people participating in the hunt this time.

If we share it with them, each person will get less than a thousand yuan.

He still felt that he had gotten a great bargain this time.

"I was wondering where Chen Hui got the money for building houses and opening shops."

"He really has his own way."

"Give me this. Apart from the purchasing point in town, I don't know who else I can sell it to." Chen Guobiao said with a laugh.

There is nothing to do in the winter.

A few people drank tea and chatted for the whole morning. When An Wenjing came back from work, she couldn't find anyone.

I went to Chen Kaiming's house and found Chen Xiaoqiao and asked, "Uncle Xiaoqiao, I don't know where Brother Chen Hui went."

"How should I put it? I'm a little reluctant to admit it."

"But you came to the right person for this matter."

Chen Xiaoqiao smiled self-deprecatingly.

After asking around, she came back and told An Wenjing, "Your husband is in the village community. He's been there all morning."

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, you are so awesome!"

An Wenjing praised him happily and went to the village to call Chen Hui to come home for dinner.

After lunch, the two of them immediately went home to replace Guo Hongxia.

"Wen Jing, come and watch!"

"Just like that, one, two times! One, two times!"

"I've been studying this all morning, and this temperature is just right."

"If you fan too slowly, the pot will have too little stirring; if you fan too quickly, the fire will be too big and you will waste a lot of charcoal."

Guo Hongxia called An Wenjing to the charcoal stove.

He waved the fan in his hand again and again, explained the situation, and then went back home to eat.

An Wenjing fanned it a few times, opened the lid and checked the heat in the pot.

"Should we add some soup?"

Chen Hui looked at the pot and found that the water level was much lower than in the morning.

"Yeah! I think so." An Wenjing said.

"You take care of the fire, I'll take care of it."

Chen Hui went behind the stove again and carried a bundle of firewood into the yard.

Fire up the grill and reheat the cooled herbal broth before adding it to the casserole.

"It smells so good. This smell is so fresh."

An Wenjing took a deep sniff and couldn't help swallowing.

"Oops! I forgot to ask pregnant women if they could eat it yesterday!"

"To be safe, you should drink some rice soup at night."

Chen Hui said this as he covered the large casserole to prevent An Wenjing from smelling it but not being able to eat it.

"What a loss! What a loss! Last time my mom wouldn't let me eat it."

An Wenjing sighed and fanned herself vigorously a few times with the fan in her hand.

I suddenly remembered that this thing needs to be heated steadily, so I quickly controlled myself.

"Silly wife, wait until you give birth and I'll go up the mountain and catch one for you."

"I'll go get some seafood. It should be ready now."

I was afraid that An Wenjing would be bored fanning herself.

Chen Hui specially took all the seafood into the kitchen to process it.

Clean the blood clams one by one and place them on a plate aside.

Among the yellow croakers caught, there was a particularly large one. Chen Hui caught it, processed it and kept it for steaming later.

Wang Zijian said six people would come this time.

There were exactly six large yellow croakers of similar size left in the water tank.

After dinner, we will decide whether to take the food back for the guests based on the situation.

The fish and blood clams were all processed, and the Leibniz squid next to it had died quietly due to lack of oxygen for too long.

Chen Hui grabbed one of them in his hand.

He turned to An Wenjing and said, "Wife, look at this fish, it's bigger than my face!"

"How are you going to cook such a big squid?" An Wenjing asked.

"The village community has a brand new iron plate that is just the right size for our barbecue table, and the edges and corners have been trimmed and polished."

"I asked my uncle to buy it for me, but he said it was useless and it would be a waste to give it to a scrap collector, so he gave it to me since I could use it."

"Wait a minute and wash it and put it on the grill outside to burn."

"I'm tired of eating barbecue. This big squid must be delicious if it's grilled."

Chen Hui said that he wanted to eat it too.

These two squids are huge.

Even if a squid is divided into four pieces, each piece is still larger than a normal whole squid.

One portion per person, delicious but not satisfying, the main point is to leave you wanting more.
