Chapter 488: It smells so good that I can eat two bowls of rice just by smelling it

"coming!"

Chen Hui put his things down and went out to help in the store.

The person who came to buy things was Li Baoguo, who lived next door to Chen Xiangdong.

Seeing Chen Hui coming out, he shook the bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "Get a cup of soy sauce."

"okay!"

"Brother Baoguo, what are you busy with recently? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Chen Hui started chatting skillfully, took the bottle from Li Baoguo and went into the store.

Li Baoguo followed him into the store.

After looking around the grocery store, he replied with some envy:

"What else can I do? I can just farm and raise pigs with my family. I'm not as good as you!"

"I heard from the villagers that you went out to sea with the fishermen from Dasha Village and made a lot of money!"

Finally I heard another explanation other than the rich woman's sponsorship.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "It's all hard-earned money. I can't farm, so I can only find other ways to go."

Chen Hui was selling soy sauce while Li Baoguo was watching from the side. He suddenly said, "Your bucket of soy sauce is almost sold out."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Hui nodded in confusion, screwed the bottle cap on and handed it to Li Baoguo.

Li Baoguo took the bottle and took out two dimes from his pocket.

With a smile on his face, he asked, "Chen Hui, if you have any extra soy sauce barrels, can you give me one?"

"sure!"

"But I don't know if my mother-in-law has promised anyone else or has any arrangements!"

"I'll talk to her and ask her to leave one for you. There will definitely be extra ones to give to you throughout the year."

Li Baoguo was very happy to see that Chen Hui agreed so readily.

After thanking him repeatedly, he couldn't help but complain to Chen Hui:

"Aunt Jinfeng brags about you in the village all day long, saying that you are not as good as her son."

"Don't you even look at what Chen Xu looks like? You still have the nerve to compare him to others. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Chen Xu is okay, at least." Chen Hui felt like he had a mouth full of complaints and he didn't know where to start.

I want to say that he is at least honest, but on second thought, he is not honest.

Li Baoguo obviously understood, and he laughed, waved goodbye and left.

At this time, all the villagers who went up to the mountains to work have returned.

Many people buy a pack of cigarettes or some household items when they pass by.

At first, Chen Hui could still handle it.

As there were too many people and they were not familiar with the prices, he found it difficult to move.

He went into the room and called Lin Jiao out.

She stayed in the room and prepared dinner with An Wenjing.

Rice was cooking in a big pot and chicken soup was simmering in an aluminum pot on a charcoal stove.

Chen Hui was lighting a fire behind the stove while processing the picked Chinese cabbage, removing the thick stems and old leaves and leaving only the tender parts.

The air was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.

Chen Hui heard someone joking with Lin Jiao outside.

It is said that her family stews chicken soup every day. If you don’t know, you would think she has secretly given birth to another child.

"Don't talk nonsense! Why should I have a child at my age? If I have to have a child, it should be a baby."

The person who said this should have a good relationship with Lin Jiao. She just laughed and scolded him, and was not really angry.

They all had children.

The other party understood Lin Jiao's implicit hint, said "Congratulations" and left.

The chicken soup was ready, and An Wenjing took some out in a small bowl.

He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, fed it to him and said, "Brother Chen Hui, try it!"

"Hmm! It tastes good! It tastes like chicken!" Chen Hui nodded.

The chicken soup of this era is really delicious.

"My aunt said today that she would catch some chickens and raise them next month."

"If you raise me longer, the chicken soup made from it will be more nutritious. Mom said she would also be responsible for some of the raising." "The two of them discussed and decided to feed me while I'm in confinement so that I can be turned into a pig!" An Wenjing said with a smile.

Chen Hui looked at An Wenjing and said, "You are too thin. You will be just as thin as a pig."

An Wenjing also took a sip of the soup, biting the spoon and smiling at Chen Hui.

Her face was filled with happiness of being surrounded by love.

"This is ready, let's have a meal first."

“I haven’t eaten it for many years, and I feel like eating it after seeing it!”

Chen Hui handed half of the processed Chinese cabbage to An Wenjing. She took it with a smile and went to the patio to wash it.

There is no one else at home.

One of the two people made the fire and the other cooked.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Hui went out and asked An Wenyi to run errands, and called Chen Huihong and Wu Shuisheng, who were still doing the finishing work in the new house, back to eat.

"Oh, it smells so good!"

"If I lived next door, I would just sit outside my house with a bowl of sweet potato rice and I could eat two more bowls."

Chen Huihong came in and said with a smile.

"Then I can't let you squat. The rice is not enough to begin with, and you want to eat one more bowl!"

Chen Hui joked and took out some chicken from the stew pot with a bowl for everyone to eat with the rice.

Chen Huihong smiled and gave Chen Hui a fake hit, then went into the kitchen to help get the food.

Seeing this, I asked curiously: "I have seen this mushroom before. Is it edible?"

"Yes! Is there one in Dasa Village too?" Chen Hui asked.

"Yes, it's not far from our vegetable garden!"

"I've seen it several times, but I don't dare pick and eat the ones I don't recognize," said Chen Huihong.

"Brother Chen Hui said it's very valuable!" said An Wenjing.

Wu Shuisheng had originally sat down and was waiting to eat.

Hearing about Zhiqian, he followed into the kitchen and said, "I know this, I saw it last time too!"

"There's nothing to help with at home tomorrow, and you're not going out to sea, so you two can go back and pick them tomorrow!"

"It's been a long time since I last saw it. I don't know if it has been picked by someone."

Chen Huihong became a little worried.

"I usually don't dare to pick it if I don't know it. Let's go look for it tomorrow!"

"How much can this thing sell for? Can you sell these flowers for ten dollars?" Wu Shuisheng asked.

"Ten dollars? If the marketing is good, these few flowers can probably sell for hundreds of dollars."

"If you really pick them, don't tell anyone in the village. If you tell others, they will pick them early next year."

Chen Hui reminded.

"A few hundred dollars?!"

Wu Shuisheng and Chen Huihong looked at each other in surprise.

If it wasn't dark outside, I would have wanted to rush back to the village.

"Forget it, let's eat! We'll go again tomorrow morning."

"People need some luck to make money. Without luck, there is nothing you can do."

Chen Huihong quickly completed her psychological preparation and said with a smile.

"Eat, eat!" Wu Shuisheng was already hungry, so he washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.

After dinner, Chen Hui waited for them to wash all the dishes and cook the pig food and pack it away.

Clean the pot carefully.

Add clean water and bring to a boil, place the Ganoderma lucidum, steam it for an hour, and then place it in a relatively ventilated place upstairs in Lin Jiao's house.

After finishing these, it will be too late to go fishing.

Chen Hui held An Wenjing's hand and walked back to Wu Jinhua's home under the sparse starlight.

Ever since An Wenjing became inconvenient, the nights have become very simple.

He washed up and fell asleep immediately, but whenever he touched his wife's hand, he couldn't fall asleep again.

As the sky brightened, Wu Shuisheng came over and urged:

"Chen Hui! Get up! Go back and pick mushrooms."
