Chapter 145 This prediction is very accurate, don’t say it next time
Four people brought pots and pans, and An Wenjing had already grabbed a grilled fish and started eating it.
Because I ate too quickly, I burned my mouth, and I opened the kettle and drank the cold water in it.
"Smoked fish? Is it so delicious?" Wu Dahua was a little skeptical.
For the people of Dasa Village, this is one of the most common ways to prepare marine fish.
Chen Hui took a cooked fish.
The unskilled person brushed lard on both sides of the fish, then grabbed a handful of ground Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers that had been fried at Chen Huihong's house and sprinkled them on top.
After waiting for a while to let the oil bring out the aroma of both ingredients, he handed it to Wu Dahua and said, "Try it!"
Wu Shuisheng looked at the large jar of lard next to Chen Hui and felt a tightness in his chest again.
This prodigal child has no idea how expensive oil is.
“Wow! I’m going to heaven! How can it be so delicious?!!!” Wu Dahua exclaimed.
The fish was cut into pieces and simply marinated with salt.
The salty taste of salt plus the salty and fresh taste of the fish itself, and the lard brushed on the fish skin dissolves some of the fat on the fish fillets.
One bite and your mouth is filled with the aroma of oil. It is delicious even without any toppings.
The chopped Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers at the end are the finishing touch.
"Chen Hui, if you don't go to sea, you can be a first-class chef!" Wu Dahua said with a thumbs up.
"What's the point of talking about ascension or not? You don't even know what to say when you go out in public." Wu Guang patted him on the shoulder and squatted beside Chen Hui waiting.
Chen Hui specially prepared for him a yellow chicken fish with firm meat and a special fish aroma.
"I'm going to die." Wu Guang's sigh stopped abruptly and he looked back alertly.
Seeing that Wu Dahua was quite far away from him, he sat down beside Chen Hui with confidence and said while eating:
"It's delicious, really delicious. You are a young man and you probably haven't eaten anything good before. How come you are so good at cooking?"
"What's so hard about this?"
“If you want something delicious, there’s only one way: add more oil.” Chen Hui said while processing the fish.
In this age of insufficient fat per capita, as long as you are willing to use oil, even stir-fried vegetables can give people a stunning feeling.
Unlike later generations, when the amount of fat and oil in food exceeded the limit and the sense of happiness that oily food brought to people dropped sharply, the standard of a good dish has become one that is less oily and less salty but delicious.
That's the real technique.
"Old Wu is right. You have a talent for ruining a family."
"Talent alone is not enough, you also need money. Young people still need to make money." Wu Guang said while eating fish.
Chen Hui processed another fish and handed it to Wei Jianjun who had been waiting for a while.
I asked casually, "Uncle Guang, did you buy this fishing boat? How much did it cost?"
"Mine was passed on from a relative of mine."
"They have five daughters, so they want to recruit two live-in sons-in-law."
"Tell me, who would want to marry into a wealthy family? Those who are willing to marry are all lazy and poor. In the end, my relative didn't insist and simply married off all his daughters."
"Without a man in the family, the boat is left unused."
"When I bought it, the boat had not been used for several years. It was parked in a sheltered harbor, exposed to the wind and sun, and was almost broken."
Talking about these old stories, Wu Guang seemed to have returned to his younger self.
He talked a lot from beginning to end, and finally sighed: "Your two cousins have a bright future. My two rebellious sons refused to go to sea, so the next generation can only rely on the Wei family."
"Hey, who knows what young people are doing? Maybe they won't have a chance to go abroad in their lifetime."
Wu Shuisheng took a grilled fish and was eating it while standing aside. When he heard Wu Guang talking about this, he came over and interrupted.
"The sea is here, it won't go away. Even if it exists, they won't go there. How can there be no sea to go out to?" Wu Guang retorted. "That's hard to say. What if it turns into a field tomorrow?"
"You haven't heard of it, right? Some seas can turn into fields. I heard from my grandson that it's called something like sea and something like field." Wu Shuisheng said.
After making arrangements for everyone, Chen Hui finally caught a fish for himself.
Listening to their chat, I looked at the sea in front of me.
Decades later, the sea did not turn into fields, nor did it disappear.
The sea won't run away, but it can't help but let some damn things run into the sea.
Wu Shuisheng certainly didn't expect that he had predicted the emperor decades ago.
"Uncle, please say more good things in the future," Chen Hui said, looking up.
"That's right! We rely on this sea for our livelihood! Why do you insist on turning it into fields? Then you can plant the crops?" Wu Guang echoed.
After eating seafood porridge and grilled fish, and then eating baked conch and scallops, the reactions of several people were much more indifferent.
They all said that it didn't have the sweetness and freshness of seafood porridge, nor the aroma of grilled fish, and it was too troublesome to dig holes and move stones.
You don’t have to make this dish next time.
"Next time?! There will be a next time?!" Chen Hui said after taking a sip of water.
This whole meal was quite tiring.
If it weren't for the few mullets on the boat, Chen Hui would not have been so motivated to prepare such a variety of food for them.
"Whenever you want to go out to sea, just tell Uncle Guang."
"You just need to provide meals." Wu Guang wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
As you age, you lack energy.
After eating and drinking, Wu Guang and his companions began to feel sleepy. They packed up their things and went back to the boat to take a nap.
Wu Dahai was in good spirits and wanted to stay, but he was also dragged away.
"The young couple are here being affectionate, why are you, a single man, staying here? I think you are old enough, go find someone yourself."
In this day and age, if your relatives and friends urge you to get married and have children, or to have one more child, you will not be looked down upon.
Chen Hui couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
The direction of the sunlight gradually tilted, and there were still several hours before the nets were closed.
Without diving equipment, An Wenjing didn't dare to go into the sea, so Chen Hui took her for a slow stroll along the coast.
"The feeling of this island is really special. It is completely different from the beach in my own village and Dasa Village."
“It looks particularly refreshing.”
The cool sea breeze blows towards me.
An Wenjing took a deep breath and felt very satisfied with her current life.
"Come to think of it, I've been to the sea here several times, but I've never been to the woods."
Chen Hui looked towards the lush jungle.
"This island looks quite large. What if there are wild animals?" An Wenjing said cautiously, pulling Chen Hui.
"Don't worry. How could there be wild animals on an island like this? If the meat on the island is eaten up, will it go to the sea?"
Having said that, Chen Hui still felt it seriously.
After making sure it was safe, he said to An Wenjing, "Let's go explore the jungle? Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."
