Chapter 504: Buy me a diving watch?
"Rich shrimp, rare!"
"Female, rare!"
"It's rare to see one this big!"
"To find a female shrimp this big, you really have to rely on luck. You can't find it by searching for it specifically," said Chen Hui.
"This one of yours is so rare, how much can it be sold for?" Wei Jianjun asked curiously.
"It's vulgar to talk about money. With these two large Splendid Shrimp, this trip is not in vain. I'm not going to sell this Rich Shrimp. I'll use it as a favor."
"Some people's favors are much more valuable than this," said Chen Hui.
Wei Jianjun nodded, "I understand, it just won't fetch much money."
"."
Chen Hui couldn't hold it in any longer.
The most important thing is that Wei Jianjun was right this time.
Although this rich shrimp is rare, it is just a mantis shrimp after all.
Even if I were to hire Huang Xiu Lian or He Juan Juan, I would feel embarrassed to charge them more than a hundred dollars.
The most correct choice is to blur the concept of price and talk about value, and use its scarcity to do favors.
The two men got off the fishing boat, and Wei Jianjun excitedly told them about the rich shrimps that Chen Hui had caught.
Although the gain was not valuable in Chen Hui's opinion, it was enough to make them extremely envious.
"Chen Hui, is it because you wanted to catch this rich shrimp that you came back so late?"
"Next time you go out to sea, I'll have to set a time for you, and you have to come back when the time is up." Wu Shuisheng said.
"sure!"
Chen Hui cooperated very well and put on the clothes and pants on the rope.
"Hmm!? So good!?"
Wu Shuisheng just said it casually, and he was mentally prepared for Chen Hui's rebuttal.
I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing him agree to it without even giving any explanation.
"You are my uncle, I will definitely listen to what you say!"
"But if you want to come back on time, at least you should know the exact time, right?"
"Why don't you buy me a watch first? One that won't break when I take it to the sea!"
Chen Hui put on his clothes and gave Wu Shuisheng a very pleasing smile.
Wu Shuisheng was speechless, "I knew that even your aunt couldn't control you. It must be abnormal for you to be so obedient!"
"You all know Huihong can't control him, so why do you want to do it?"
"Isn't this just asking for trouble?" Wu Guang said on the side.
Wu Dahua had already started cooking porridge on the large stone stove.
After hearing what a few people said, he laughed so hard that he almost threw the firewood he had folded into the pot.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly stuffed it back in.
It is inconvenient when the big stove is already lit.
Chen Hui dug a hole under the small stone stove, put the potatoes and sweet potatoes he brought in, and then covered them with sand.
While grilling the fish, you can also use the temperature of the fire pit to stew these.
"Can we start grilling the fish? We've also prepared the shrimp, crabs, and sea cucumbers you caught. When are we going to put them in the pot?"
Wu Shuisheng swallowed and urged.
It was getting late and everyone was a little hungry.
"No hurry, wait until the porridge is almost cooked before putting it in, otherwise it will be overcooked!"
"If you want to eat delicious grilled fish, there's one more thing you need to prepare!"
"Someone get a clean stone to grind chili powder!"
Chen Hui assigned tasks to others and kept himself busy too.
He successfully started a fire with hay and branches and said in surprise, "Huh?! It worked?"
"Isn't this normal?" Wei Jianjun asked puzzledly.
"This kid has never started a fire at home."
"A well-lit fire can burn downwards, but if you let it start a fire, you will only see smoke coming out of the kitchen and no sparks." Wu Shuisheng explained and took out a kettle to drink water.
Wu Guang brought a large stone and a small stone from the side, pointed and said:
"The clean stones are ready!"
We found these two in the afternoon, scrubbed them with sand, and put them in the sun for a while, and now they are dry. "
Chen Hui smiled with satisfaction.
He took a bamboo stick from the cloth bag and threaded a row of dried chilies on it, raising his hand high.
The heat from the fire is needed to make it drier and crisper, but it cannot be burned by the flames and leave a smoky smell.
After baking for half a minute, Chen Hui felt his hands were so sore.
He stood up and shook his right hand, then grabbed the long bamboo stick with his left hand.
Put the dried pepper strings on the stone and let Wu Guang and others grind them into powder.
He opened the lid of the aluminum pot, shone a flashlight on it, and said to Wu Dahua, "In another twenty minutes, you can add seafood!"
"Okay, I understand!" said Wu Dahua.
After all the work was arranged, Chen Hui took the processed mackerel and inserted two bamboo sticks into each fish.
After making some cuts on the surface with a knife, spread some lard on both sides and roast them on the fire at a suitable distance.
"Oh! Shuisheng, Lao Wei, you two should stand closer together, the wind is coming in!"
"Shuisheng, stand up!"
"Forget it, forget it. You should just squat down. It will be even more windy if you stand up."
"Ah! Ahh!"
"Ahhhh! My eyes are so hot!"
With the cooperation of Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun, Wu Guang's work of grinding chili powder did not go smoothly.
The sea breeze was so strong today that a dried chili pepper, just slightly ground into small pieces, fluttered around in the sea breeze.
The last three had no choice but to carry the stones and dried chilies back to the cabin to grind them.
After Chen Hui had grilled the first batch of three fish, the three of them got off the fishing boat.
"Wu Dahua, you can add seafood now."
Chen Hui reminded him and grabbed a handful of salt in his hand.
Crush it a little with your hands and sprinkle it on the fish as evenly as possible.
Originally, the job of grinding salt was intended for them, but seeing the progress of grinding chili powder, Chen Hui decided to give up.
"Wow, it smells so good. I can smell it from far away."
"Chen Hui, is this edible?"
Wu Guang handed the bag of chili powder to Chen Hui, his eyes fixed on the grilled mackerel.
"It's ready to eat, Uncle Guang, would you like some chili powder?" Chen Hui asked.
"Come on, come on. You must come on after working so hard!" Wu Guang nodded repeatedly.
Chen Hui reached in, pinched some chili powder, and sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the mackerel.
Roast it over the fire for a while to let the little bit of oil left on the fish skin fully bring out the aroma of the dried chilies.
“I want mine spicy too!” Wei Jianjun said eagerly.
"I don't want it spicy. Can I just take one and eat it?" Wu Shuisheng said.
"Uncle, wait a moment, I'll get you some salt!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he began to sprinkle salt on Wu Shuisheng's grilled fish, and finally finished Wei Jianjun's.
Look at your hands, they are covered in salt and chili powder.
I patted it and rubbed it with sand, but it still felt uncomfortable.
I simply stood up and went out to wash my hands.
A wave came over and directly covered Chen Hui's ankles.
"Um???"
