Chapter 596 The strongest mouth substitute

Chen Kaiming stood up and introduced him to several people: "His name is Chen Hui, and he is the most outstanding young man in our village."

The best youth.

A few months ago, this word would never have been used to describe Chen Hui.

An Wenjing looked up at Chen Hui and felt a sense of pride in her heart.

Chen Hui said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, village chief."

Chen Kaiming introduced the visitors to Chen Hui one by one.

The overseas Chinese who donated the building was called Huang Zuoren, and Chen Kaiming only introduced him as Mr. Huang.

This name was told to him by Huang Xiu Lian.

Chen Hui was also a little surprised when he saw him.

Huang Zuoren looked to be about 32 or 33 years old and seemed quite smart.

It's the kind of shrewdness that is completely unconcealed.

He was completely different from what Chen Hui had imagined, a wealthy middle-aged man with a chubby appearance who was good at pretending to be chubby.

Also coming were the deputy county magistrate, the director of the county education bureau and a director.

There was also a staff member from the Propaganda Department, who probably came to collect more promotional content.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Kaiming asked Chen Hui to sit down with him.

"Hello comrade, can you introduce these?"

"I know this is sashimi, but what are these small plates for?"

"What about that one? That one is ready to eat, right?"

Huang Zuoren was quite interested in the food on the table and asked Chen Hui.

“These side dishes are served with fish fillets.”

“Firstly, it makes the fish fillet taste richer, and secondly, it makes up for the lack of wasabi and light soy sauce.”

Chen Hui said this and picked up a clean small bowl and chopsticks from the table.

I picked up a few slices of sashimi and put them in the bowl.

After asking Huang Zuoren about his eating habits, he put some coriander, pickled radish, green onion, ginger and pickled garlic slices into a small bowl.

Pick up the small dish next to it and pour a little light soy sauce into it.

Flip it upside down to allow the flavors of the food to blend simply.

He handed the small bowl to Huang Zuoren, "Boss Huang, have a try."

"This is quite novel." Huang Zuoren took the bowl.

He picked up all the food inside and stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp.

After chewing it briefly, he gave Chen Hui a thumbs up.

"Is it really so delicious? I want to try it too." said the director of the Education Bureau.

"Director, please try it. This way of eating is quite interesting!"

Chen Hui said this and sat down naturally.

It's okay to be a service worker, but not to be a waiter.

The director was stunned for a moment.

The director sitting next to him immediately stood up and took the small bowl in front of the director.

He picked up some fish fillets, asked about the side dishes one by one, and picked up the dishes according to the director's preferences.

Following Chen Hui's example, he added some light soy sauce and mixed it, then handed it to the director with an attentive look on his face.

He extended his hand to the other side and said, "County Governor, what kind of dishes would you like to have with it?"

“Raw fish!”

The deputy county magistrate couldn't accept it and shook his head.

I picked up a bit of the mixed fern in front of me and ate it.

"Comrade Chen Hui, what is this? Is it raw?"

Huang Zuoren swallowed the sashimi in his mouth and pointed to the largest plate in the middle of the table and asked.

"This is called assorted seafood. It's sour, spicy and slightly sweet. It's very appetizing in this weather."

"They are all cooked and then marinated with seasonings," Chen Hui introduced.

Huang Zuoren took a careful look and said, "This plate is full of good stuff. The cost must be high, right?"

He picked up a piece of crab meat, took a bite, and immediately said:

"Everyone, come and try it. This is amazing. I've never eaten anything this delicious outside."

This comment immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone picked up what they wanted. In those days, the seasonings were extremely simple, even MSG was used sparingly.

This doesn't consider the cost at all.

The mixed taste of several condiments and seasonings immediately appealed to everyone's taste buds, and there were many varieties on this large plate.

The other dishes were put aside for the time being.

Everyone picked up various seafood on the plate and marveled at the dish.

"Comrade Chen Hui, how is this dish made?" asked the deputy county magistrate.

Chen Hui didn't hide it either.

Very generous in sharing the production method.

It’s a tedious process, with a bunch of ingredients so complicated that it’s hard to remember them after listening to them.

This discouraged several people from learning this skill.

"It's delicious. I've eaten seafood for so many years, but I've never eaten anything like this."

"Aunt Xiulian is right. Coming here really gives you delicious food that you can't get in the province."

Huang Zuoren enjoyed the meal and was in a good mood.

He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and spoke more intimately.

"Of course. If it wasn't for the good stuff, I wouldn't bring you here." Huang Xiu Lian said with a smile.

Huang Zuoren put the handkerchief away.

I picked up the small bowl next to me, filled it with some deer soup and drank it, then tried the fish head sour soup.

Obviously, the latter is more to his liking.

After trying it, I filled another bowl.

Drinking it slowly, I saw that the blanched octopus legs had not been touched yet.

He picked up the chopsticks and said curiously, "Is this an octopus leg? It's so big?"

"Yes, it's a big octopus weighing more than ten kilograms."

"It is our honor to have Mr. Huang and the leaders visit Chenjia Village. I have cleaned and processed the remaining parts. When you go back later, everyone can take some back with you."

"The things are not rare. They are just a little gift from the villagers." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Usually when He Juanjuan brings guests over, Chen Hui tells her stories to liven up the atmosphere.

Today the situation is reversed.

He Juanjuan first said that the giant octopus weighing more than ten kilograms was very rare, and then followed the topic to talk about the rarity of this meal.

All the dishes are prepared by Chen Hui, so it goes without saying that cooking is hard work.

The deer we ate today were hunted by Chen Hui in the mountains.

These seafoods are all the same.

Including the giant octopus.

Chen Hui followed the fishing boats from Dasa Village and swam into the sea to catch them all.

Huang Zuoren grabbed a sea urchin in his hand and ate it slowly while listening to He Juanjuan talk.

I heard that all of them were caught by hand in the sea. I couldn't help but lower my head and take a close look at the food in my hand.

The leaders from the county originally just thought that Chen Hui’s cooking skills were good.

After listening to what He Juanjuan said, I was also touched by his meticulousness and attitude.

"Comrade Chen Hui, the village chief is right. You are indeed the most outstanding young man in your village."

"I'll toast to you. You've worked hard today." The deputy county magistrate picked up the glass.

When the other people in the group saw this, they quickly picked up their cups and followed their leader's pace.

Since Chen Hui drank the wine that others toasted him, he naturally had to return the toast.

As the wine started to flow, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

After some toasts and clinking of glasses.

Huang Zuoren, who was full of food and drink, picked up the wine glass again.

He gestured to Chen Hui and said:
"Comrade Chen Hui, today's meal is great! I am very satisfied! Thank you."

"It is a blessing for Chenjia Village to have a young man like you!"

Chen Hui quickly responded modestly:
"I really don't deserve that. I'm just an ordinary young man who relies on the care of the village chief and fellow villagers."

Chen Kaiming was sitting next to Chen Hui.

She patted him gently, signaling him to say something at this time.
