Chapter 214: Going up the mountain in the afternoon, having another big meal for dinner
"Hahaha, this is not good. People who don't know will think something is wrong with the state-owned restaurant and no one wants to come."
"Then I will try to be more diligent in the future and motivate my friends as well."
Chen Hui immediately understood Chen Yaozu's helplessness and said with a smile.
"You are still better than your friend in one respect!"
"Even though you don't work, at least you know how to coax people!"
Chen Yaozu chatted and laughed as he walked Chen Hui to the door.
Wu Si was sitting on the back of the bicycle. When he saw Chen Hui coming out, he asked curiously in a low voice, "Is this your relative?!"
"Yes, from the same village, but their family came to the county town a long time ago."
"He knows my dad, so I'll take care of him in business!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he turned the bicycle in a different direction and motioned for Wu Si to get on.
Without staying in the county town, he went straight back to the village.
Let Wu Si go to Jiang Houfa's house to call Huang Miao while he himself starts to get busy at home.
"Wife, take a fish and go to the vegetable garden in front of Uncle Guogang's house to get some vegetables." Chen Hui looked around the kitchen.
There were fish, meat, crabs and snails at home, but not a single vegetable leaf.
"okay, I get it!"
"what would you like?!"
An Wenjing has already processed the fish to be dried and marinated them with coarse salt.
She cleaned the sink, wiped her hands, and took off her apron before asking.
"Green vegetables are best, but if not, anything else will do!"
"Ask Aunt Hongmei if she has chicken mushrooms. If she does, bring me a plate."
Chen Hui took the dark blue coarse linen apron that An Wenjing had taken off, tied it around his waist, and asked, "Is it handsome?"
An Wenjing took a step back and looked.
She nodded with a smile, walked forward on tiptoe, held Chen Hui's face and kissed him.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch, oh oh oh!"
"It's broad daylight, the world is bright and clear, I'm so envious!"
"What are you envious of? Your mother has already found a job for you, but you ran away to learn the skills like you were running for your life."
"Shut up! How can that be the same?"
Huang Miao and Wu Si came in and happened to see this scene.
The two single guys watching were both excited and jealous, and they sang along in exaggerated tones.
"You guys!?? Ouch!"
An Wenjing's face turned red with embarrassment.
He took a processed fish, covered his face and ran away.
"Ouch! You guys, uh uh."
"Oh, Brother Chen Hui, these two friends of yours are so bad!"
After An Wenjing left, Huang Miao and Wu Si became even more unscrupulous, holding on to the kitchen door frame on both sides and adding to the drama.
Chen Hui sighed.
He took out two green apples from the bag Huang Wenqian brought, and without even bothering to wash them, he stuffed one into each of their mouths.
"Wow! Apple? You're having a great time right now, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, getting married is great! I want to get married too!"
Wu Si and Huang Miao rubbed the apples on their clothes and temporarily let Chen Hui go.
"Here, with the money you spent on the fish, you can buy several kilograms of green apples!" Chen Hui took out thirteen yuan from his right trouser pocket and handed it to Huang Miao.
"so much!?"
"At the purchasing point, the most you can buy is eight yuan. That's it. I'll sell all the fish I have to you in the future."
Huang Miao became excited and stood next to Chen Hui who was killing the fish and said.
"Is that thirteen already? My dad asked me to work at the docks for only twenty dollars a month!"
"I'll catch fish and sell them to you in the future, too?"
Wu Si doesn't like to work, but he still loves money.
Seeing that Huang Miao could earn more than ten yuan for each trip to the sea, he became excited.
"Sure, you can give me the fish you catch to resell!" "But they have to be alive, and they have to be rare, ordinary fish."
Chen Hui signaled with his eyes.
In the big basin beside it, there were still some pickled fish that he had caught today.
This kind of fish must be sent to Chen Yaozu, and he will accept it if he can use it.
Such a big pot only costs two or three yuan, so Chen Hui thinks it is unnecessary.
"Huh?! You only want the expensive stuff? And you want to live? That money isn't easy to make!" Wu Si shook his head.
"Hey, I'm really lucky today!"
"My master said I don't have to go to his afternoon job and he can give me a day off. Where are we going?" Huang Miao asked excitedly after collecting the money.
"Let's go up the mountain? I just got a gun. Let's go up the mountain and hunt tigers."
"Let's go fishing together after it gets dark. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and we can't miss the big low tide tonight."
It's been a while since I spent a whole day playing with my best friends.
Wu Si seemed very excited.
"Fighting tigers? Why don't you go up the mountain and feed the tigers?"
Huang Miao teased, patted Chen Hui and asked, "How is it? What is the arrangement of the fourth brother?"
"Sure! I have nothing to do today anyway!"
"Go get the gun and we'll go up the mountain in the afternoon. Maybe we can have a big meal in the evening." Chen Hui responded.
"Is my sister-in-law okay with us having two meals at your house?" Wu Si asked.
"Don't worry, Wen Jing is not that petty person."
Chen Hui gave Wu Si the key to the bicycle lock and urged him to go home and get the gun.
Take the big fish to the patio outside and start processing it.
Huang Miao was eating an apple nearby, chattering about the interesting things that happened during his apprenticeship.
An Wenjing quickly brought back vegetables, beans, and chicken mushrooms from Wang Hongmei's house.
He ran back to his home and picked the perilla leaves that Chen Hui wanted.
Chen Hui cooked the big fish that Wu Si brought back into pickled fish.
The yellow croaker was not fresh enough for steaming, so Chen Hui chose to braising it with a thick layer of perilla leaves.
I also fried some vegetables.
With a large pot and two small plates, you can start eating quickly.
Huang Miao and Wu Si took a bite of the fish and almost bit their tongues.
We have been brothers for more than ten years, but I never knew that Chen Hui was such a good cook. I have repeated this over and over again.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing are no longer surprised by this.
The two of them ate their meal, occasionally making fun of them.
Seeing An Wenjing eating too fast, Chen Hui would remind her to slow down.
"It's so delicious! Ah Hui, you are so rude. You never cooked when we played together before!"
"I guess he learned this from his sister-in-law. My sister-in-law's cooking must be better."
"Ah! I want another bowl!"
Wu Si looked at the empty bowl and said with lingering feeling.
"Don't eat yet. Finish the fish and we'll cook something else in the evening." Chen Hui held him and said.
"Finish it?! You're going to finish the whole pot? Don't you want to leave any?!"
"Of course! You've lived such a luxurious life since you got married!"
Wu Si sat down again and put a lot of pickled vegetables and fish slices into his bowl.
"Old Four, this fish you gave me is really worth it. Keep it up!"
Huang Miao was full and burped, looking at the empty plates and bowls on the table with satisfaction.
"Yeah, you all are going to eat my food today." Wu Si smiled proudly.
After lunch, Chen Hui and An Wenjing washed all the pots and pans together.
Wu Si and Huang Miao had almost digested the food after the meal.
Chen Hui carried a backpack and some simple tools.
The three of them went out together.
