Chapter 138 A bowl full of harvest, Wu Shuisheng almost cried
After putting all the things back home, Chen Hui followed Chen Huihong out.
When I got to the doorstep, I had to go back.
"Where are you going?" Chen Huihong pulled him aside and asked.
"I'll tell Wen Jing not to touch the fish. Otherwise, by the time we come back, she will have already chopped and cleaned it."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he trotted back into the house.
Then he came out quickly and followed Chen Huihong out with a smile.
"Wenjing, why don't you prepare the fish first?" Chen Huihong asked puzzledly.
"No, this fish needs special processing methods." Chen Hui said.
"You're so nervous all day long. I don't know where all these weird ideas come from."
Chen Huihong joked with a smile and took Chen Hui to the home of Wang Huiying, a fellow villager who lived several doors away.
I heard that they were looking for sour pickles.
Wang Huiying generously took out a jar of pickled cabbage, opened it and asked, "Is this it?"
Chen Hui leaned forward and smelled it, and the smell was right.
He asked Wang Huiying for bowls and chopsticks, picked one up and looked at it, and said happily, "This is it. Can I have more? I'll pay for it."
Chen Hui prefers sauerkraut to the pickled vegetables that the villagers are used to making.
Wang Huiying laughed.
He found a large bowl from the cupboard, put some pickled vegetables into it and said with a smile: "What are you selling? If you like it, take some more."
"I'd better pay something."
Chen Hui looked at the full bowl and felt a little embarrassed.
"No, no, Huihong and I are old acquaintances, how can I ask you for money?" Wang Huiying insisted.
Seeing Wang Huiying pretending so much, Chen Huihong felt a little embarrassed.
He took out fifty cents and stuffed it into Wang Huiying's pocket, insisting that she accept it no matter what.
On the way home, Chen Hui followed Chen Huihong holding a big bowl, and suddenly he laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Huihong asked, tilting her head.
"I thought of my childhood, when every time I came to my aunt's house, you would take me to buy rock candy or peanut candy to eat."
"On the way back, you didn't even bother to hold my hand."
"It was the same for us back then. You walked in front and I walked behind with the candy for burning sensation." Chen Hui felt a little nostalgic when talking about this.
"You should give birth to a baby soon, and then your aunt can take him to buy food." Chen Huihong also laughed as she spoke.
It's just that the smile on her face was transferred from Chen Hui's face.
Chen Hui was a little helpless. The older generation was pushing for births and was really taking advantage of every opportunity.
Don't touch the big fish you catch.
An Wenjing processed the other seafood and steamed the rice.
An Wenjing felt very happy just as she was lighting a fire and smelling the aroma coming from the wooden barrel of steaming rice.
Hearing the aunt and nephew coming back, he put down the long iron tongs in his hand and asked as he walked out, "Is the pickled cabbage coming?"
"It's coming, look."
"Wife, please help me go to the store we just went to and buy some more peppercorns and dried chilies." Chen Hui said while showing the sauerkraut in a large bowl.
"So many?" An Wenjing was surprised.
"I'll go, I'll go, just in time to call your uncle back for dinner."
"He ran to the safe haven early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I'll go see what's going on." Chen Huihong said as she went out.
First, I went to the grocery store near the purchasing point and bought the peppercorns and dried chilies that Chen Hui wanted.
"Are you sure you want it? If you really want it, I'll weigh it." The boss asked cautiously. "Yes, of course." Chen Huihong said, taking out three cents and handing it to him, "Just three cents, don't weigh as much as before."
The boss nodded and weighed some peppercorns and dried chilies for Chen Huihong.
He pursed his lips tightly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Huihong walk out of the store, then smiled relaxedly.
Yes, today is another day to keep your mouth shut!
Chen Huihong went to the safe haven to find Wu Shuisheng again.
There was nothing wrong with their boat, but other people in the village's boats were damaged, so several people went to help.
Wu Dahua was very active and moved between large and small ships.
Whenever I encounter someone who needs help, I will actively lend a hand.
On the way back, several people started talking about Wu Dahua.
I still have to continue to take him out to sea, but I feel a little helpless. Seeing that he has changed again, I am willing to give the younger generation a chance.
“Hey, what would you do if it was your Chen Hui and Old Wu?!”
Wu Guanggang thought and sighed, it would be great if Chen Hui was willing to go to sea with him.
Before he could finish his words, he was tripped by Wu Shuisheng, who knew him very well, and almost fell on the soft dirt road after the heavy rain.
"What is our Chen Hui doing?!" Chen Huihong asked with a smile.
"Didn't Chen Hui invite us to the county town for dinner yesterday? But we couldn't go because of the typhoon, and he's been talking about it all morning."
Wu Shuisheng lied casually and winked at Wu Guang.
"Ah? Uh-huh, I haven't been there." Wu Guang reacted and immediately nodded in agreement.
Wu Shuisheng is a powerful man and has never lost a quarrel at the port.
Such a man is very afraid of his wife at home.
Although Chen Huihong had never lost her temper, Wu Guang and the others all agreed that Chen Huihong must be a tigress.
The very fierce kind.
"Chen Hui said that he would go back to the location in a few days and make up for this meal."
"Today he went to the sea and picked up a big fish weighing two or three pounds. He is very secretive and I don't know how he plans to cook it. Why don't you all go to my house and get a bowl each to take back?" Chen Huihong said.
"What?!" Wei Jianjun said in surprise.
"Chen Hui picked up a big fish weighing two or three pounds? Did he pick it up from the sea?" Wu Guang also suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Is Chen Hui the reincarnation of the Empress Dowager's biological son? Otherwise, how come he can catch big fish every time?" Wu Shuisheng also looked surprised.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, how can you say such offensive words to the Empress?" Chen Huihong cursed with a smile, and then continued:
"In addition to the big fish, he also picked up a big golden pomfret and a lot of clams."
Asking them to go home and prepare fish for eating was originally intended to show off a bit.
Seeing the reactions of the three people, Chen Huihong felt so happy.
When they returned home, smoke was already rising from the kitchen and the aroma of steamed rice was wafting through the yard.
Seeing that the man had returned, Chen Hui smiled and said, "You're back just in time. I was just about to go find you after I heated up some oil."
After that, Chen Hui used a large spatula to scoop out the boiling hot oil and poured it on the fish fillets sprinkled with green onions and peppercorns, making a "sizzle" sound.
"Wow!" Wei Jianjun and Wu Guang exclaimed at the same time.
With this amount of oil used, it’s hard to imagine this dish not being delicious.
Wu Shuisheng's heart trembled when he saw this!
These two large shovels of oil can last the family for a week.
"Give way, give way."
Chen Hui found two rags to pad the table and put a large pot of cooked fish fillets on it.
I don’t know if it’s telepathy, but I handed the chopsticks to Wu Shuisheng first, “Uncle, try it.”
