Chapter 628 Good Intentions

Last time there were many dishes and the guests were also very important.

Chen Hui was a little hectic.

The ones who came this time were Huang Shuqing and Huang Guangdian, it was a casual gathering among friends.

He felt much more relaxed and hummed a song while cleaning the two big crabs.

"Chen Hui! Ouch! I'm so sorry! We were delayed by someone coming to get something."

"What am I going to do now?"

Guo Hongxia brought over a small bowl of pickled seaweed.

He put the things down and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I just started it!"

"Aunt Hongxia, please deal with the remaining seafood in the net bag first. I'll go make the side dishes."

Chen Hui stood up, shook the water off his hands and said.

"Okay! Leave these to me."

Guo Hongxia nodded and was about to squat down.

I saw a horn snail in the corner of the water tank and couldn't help but pick it up and take a look. "This snail is too big!"

"It's okay. It's not as big as the one on the shelf in the dining room."

Chen Hui joked and walked into the kitchen.

He made a fire and scooped some water into the pot to boil.

Wash and cut the various side dishes needed for making seafood sauce.

All prepared and placed in a large stainless steel basin.

Seeing that the water in the pot was about to boil, he shouted to Waitou, "Aunt Hongxia, is the seafood ready?"

"Alright! Bring it in right away!"

Guo Hongxia responded loudly and came in with the cleaned seafood.

After wiping her hands on her apron, she immediately went to the stove to light the fire.

Chen Hui put the processed seafood into the pot in a certain order and boiled it in cold water.

After everything is done, soak it in the prepared soup.

I dipped my finger in a little bit of the soup and tasted it. "It's a little off."

"What's the difference in taste? I think it's the same as last time." Guo Hongxia asked puzzled.

"One lemon is missing!"

"The yellow, sour fruit?"

"Yes! That is very important. Without it, there will be no fresh smell."

As Chen Hui spoke, he went to the backyard and picked a few lemon leaves.

Wash the leaves, rub them together and put them in to soak.

After tasting it again, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard for a good cook to cook without rice."

The electricity in the village cannot power a refrigerator.

It's not always so convenient that someone will help bring it back from the provincial capital.

It's a good signature dish, but its effect has been compromised.

"Chen Hui, is there no rice at home?"

"I still have some at home. Can I go and get some for you?" Guo Hongxia asked.

"what?"

Chen Hui was stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he smiled and said, "I remember that I bought a big bag of rice when I moved back last time."

Cover the soaked seafood with a pot lid and place it in a cool place next to the water tank.

"Aunt Hongxia, there's nothing to do this morning! Just come over to help after dinner. I'll call you then."

Chen Hui scrubbed the big pot clean.

He washed the seafood smell off his hands with soap and shook the water off his hands.

"Just come and wash the dishes and clean up in the evening? Don't you need to come when I cook dinner?"

"Only one dish today? Then it's easy to accommodate this guest tonight." Guo Hongxia said in surprise.

Chen Hui smiled, locked the door, and walked to the bridge head with Guo Hongxia.

Guo Hongxia walked towards her home.

Chen Hui said hello to Lin Jiao and prepared to ride away on his bike.

Lin Jiao hurried out of the store and shouted at him, "Chen Hui, wait a moment!"

"Huh!?" Chen Hui saw Lin Jiao closing the shop door and looked at her in confusion.

"This is a big happy event, and it will take a lot of people to make it popular."

"I made an agreement with Wen Jing yesterday that we would go together today. I will bring Wen Yi back with me after we meet the boat."

"Everyone is going to work in the mountains now, so it's okay to close the shop for a while."

As Lin Jiao spoke, she locked the shop door with a padlock.

As if he suddenly remembered that Chen Hui was also the boss, he smiled guiltily and asked, "Is it okay to close the door?"

"Sure, it will only take an hour or two to get back."

"It's boring for you and Wen Yi to stay in the store every day. Why don't you go out and have some fun together?" Chen Hui said.

"Then wait for me!"

Lin Jiao said this and strode towards Chen Kaiming's house.

Soon Chen Xiaoqiao's bicycle was pushed over.

"Mom, why are you still borrowing a car? I can just take you there." Chen Hui asked in confusion.

"Oh! I have to hurry back to open the shop later."

"I made an appointment with Xiaoqiao yesterday and asked him to lend me his car today."

"This way, if you have other things to do and need to stay in Dasha Village, Wen Yi and I can leave right away. How simple!"

Lin Jiao said this and stepped onto the bicycle.

The car was a little too high for her, so she used her feet to stand on the ground, tilted the car body and said to An Wenyi, "Come on up."

"I want to sit in front of my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law rides his bike so fast!"

An Wenyi said this, and ran to Chen Hui and raised his arms.

"Let me take her with me. Xiaoqiao's bike is not easy to ride. It's easier for me to ride it by myself."

Chen Hui lifted An Wenyi up and placed him on the front bar of the bicycle.

The three of them went to Dasa Village together.

Passing by the Dasha Village Primary School, Lin Jiao stopped and looked inside.

Seeing Chen Hui and An Wenyi walking away, he hurriedly stepped on the ground to catch up.

Chen Hui arrived first.

Seeing that the door of Chen Huihong's house was open, he pushed the car in and shouted loudly: "Aunt! Uncle!"

"Five minutes ago I was wondering why you hadn't arrived yet, and now you're here as soon as the water for tea is ready."

Chen Huihong heard the noise and came out of the house.

Seeing An Wenyi had also arrived, he happily shouted, "Little Wenyi is here too."

"anything else!"

Chen Hui turned his head and looked behind him.

Chen Huihong walked out curiously and looked at the traffic.

Seeing Lin Jiao coming, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Lin Jiao! Why are you here too!"

"Of course I have to come to my child's big wedding."

"We are going to have dinner at your house this afternoon." Lin Jiao said with a smile.

"Don't even mention this afternoon, you can eat mine every day!"

Chen Huihong said happily and invited a few people into the house.

He took out three cups from the cupboard and poured them a cup of tea from the large mug.

"Where's your uncle? Is he watching TV again?"

Chen Hui looked into the room, but there was no one inside.

"He went to the village shop to buy firecrackers."

"I heard from the villagers that when a new fishing boat arrives at the dock, they have to fire cannons to liven it up," said Chen Huihong.

“There are so many details to pay. I thought I just had to pay the money.” Chen Hui smiled.

"It's not that simple!"

"I have also prepared a red envelope for the boatman. You have to leave good intentions for him."

"You don't have to pay for the return trip, just give it to him separately."

Chen Huihong entered the house, took out the money wrapped in red paper and gave it to Chen Hui.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wu Shuisheng shouting outside:
"I am back!"

"It's about time, has Chen Hui arrived yet?"
