Chapter 653: The money for renovating the village road has arrived

"It will take many years to get a stove that can light its own fire."

Chen Hui muttered softly.

Remove the fried garlic from the pan, mix it with the remaining chopped raw garlic in the bowl, and add seasoning.

The most troublesome work is done.

The rest is much simpler.

Chen Hui fished out two oysters from the water tank and took them to the yard to wash them with a brush.

"Wow! This is really big!"

"Bake two of these. We don't need to cook anything else this afternoon, right? Just stir-fry some greens and that'll be all."

Chen Huihong put down the food in her hand and came over to join in the fun.

"Brother Chen Hui, are you going to roast both of them?" An Wenjing asked.

"Today's oysters are very fresh. Let's grill one and steam the other to see which tastes better."

Chen Hui cleaned the shells of the oysters.

Looking at the shell that was much thicker than his arm, he didn't know where to start.

He picked it up, measured its width, and asked, "Aunt, do you have a knife? I want a longer one."

"Who has nothing better to do than to buy such a long knife? How about a sickle or a machete?" asked Chen Huihong.

Chen Hui hesitated.

I went into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife and a rag.

First, pry around the oyster shell, then use a tablecloth to support it and use force to pry the oyster shell apart.

Even though his face turned red, Oyster didn't move at all.

"How can kids like you have any strength? Let me do it!" Chen Huihong said, wiping her hands on her clothes.

Chen Hui wisely walked aside.

Chen Huihong stuck her hand into the shell that Chen Hui had pried open.

He used both hands to exert force at the same time, and let out a deep “Eh!!!!!!!!! Ah!”

Failed.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing burst out laughing.

"Hey! Such a big one is really tight!"

"The small ones I had before, I just broke them apart like this and it was easy to separate them."

Chen Huihong tried to save her dignity by saying something and called Wu Shuisheng to come out, but he was the one who finally pried them apart.

"My uncle is still the best!" An Wenjing said with a smile.

"Of course! In the past, when there were no net reels, fishing nets were pulled up by hand."

"Usually we sell dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of fish in a basket, and we just pick them up and go."

"Unlike Chen Hui, he has to grab one side at a time."

Wu Shuisheng clapped his hands and said very proudly.

"Uncle, you are great, but why are you still praising and criticizing others?"

"Why don't you compete with me in cooking?"

Chen Hui complained and left with the opened oysters.

"That's right! What Chen Hui said makes sense!"

"Speaking of which, the oysters today are really big. I wonder what they taste like."

Chen Huihong looked forward to it.

He asked Wu Shuisheng to wash the vegetables outside while he went in to make rice.

Chen Hui prepared an oyster and put it into a big pot to steam.

Light up the charcoal stove on one side, put the grilled slices on it, and grill the oysters covered with garlic sauce on top.

The charcoal stove in Chen Huihong's house is an old style and smaller than the one in Chen Hui's house.

The long and thin oyster shells cannot be completely roasted.

Chen Hui could only adjust the angle from time to time.

As the fat and moisture of the oysters are roasted out, the aroma of the minced garlic on top is fully brought out.

An Wenyi was the first to stand by the charcoal stove and wait.

Not long after, An Wenjing and Wu Shuisheng were also attracted by the fragrance and came in to take a look twice.

The oysters were not yet cooked when someone outside said loudly and enthusiastically:
"Huihong, Huihong, what are you cooking today?"

"Why does it smell so good? I'm drooling from the smell in the next door." Wang Huiying, who lives next door to Chen Huihong.

Just like last time, he came in with the dishes and chopsticks.

"It's the one on the stove! The kids are playing with it. It smells really good, but who knows what it smells like."

Chen Huihong raised her chin and pointed in a direction.

Added some firewood to the stove.

"Wow! This costs so much? It must cost a lot of money, right?" Wang Huiying asked in surprise.

"The child made it himself at the beach. He said he only had one and he wouldn't sell it, so he got it for himself to try." said Chen Huihong.

Although this oyster is very large, there is only one of it.

There are so many people in Wu Shuisheng's family who need to feed.

Wang Huiying was too embarrassed to say anything. She envied Chen Huihong and felt sour as she held the empty bowl.

"Aunt Wang, do you want some garlic sauce? It's for the oysters."

"You can get some shrimps or clams yourself, and steam them with this, they'll be delicious too."

"Even if you don't use any of that, it's delicious just mixed with rice."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took the bowl of garlic sauce from the other side of the stove.

The oysters today are very big and he spreads them out in large quantities.

There were only about two or three spoonfuls left in the bowl.

"Okay! Give me some then."

"It doesn't matter about the oysters or anything, it's just this sauce, it smells so good."

Wang Huiying became happy.

He picked up the spoon in the bowl and scooped a spoonful into his own bowl.

Chen Hui picked up the bowl and ate up the rest.

"Oh, you don't need so much. I'll just have a little."

"You guys probably need more too," Wang Huiying said embarrassedly.

"It's not a good thing, just some garlic!"

"Take it. Why should we be polite to each other?" said Chen Huihong.

"Then I took it!"

Wang Huiying took the garlic sauce and left happily.

After a while, two more eggs were brought over.

Seeing that An Wenyi wanted to eat, Chen Huihong asked Chen Hui to fry the eggs as well.

One steamed dish, one grilled dish with garlic, a plate of green vegetables and a small plate of scrambled eggs, and this rice soup.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

"If we go to Chen Hui's house for this meal, it will cost at least two hundred yuan."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he picked up some grilled oysters with garlic and started to eat.

He immediately pointed at the plate and said, "Hurry up and take a bite. I guarantee that you have never eaten anything so delicious in your life!"

"That's for sure. It smells very nice." said Chen Huihong.

The steamed large oysters are tender, sweet and delicious.

In an age of insufficient seasoning, the strong flavor of grilled oysters with garlic is obviously more attractive.

After eating the oyster meat, they also didn’t miss the garlic sauce inside.

Each person gets a spoonful of the rice and it tastes so delicious.

An Wenyi, who usually shouts loudly but actually has a normal appetite, ate an extra bowl of rice today.

For the two oysters that he would serve to Wang Xianzhi, Chen Hui decided to roast them with garlic sauce instead of steaming them separately.

After lunch, I took a break.

An Wenjing brought An Wenyi, and Chen Hui brought a full tank of seafood, and they returned to Chenjia Village one after another.

Chen Hui sent the animal back home to raise it.

I went to Chen Guobiao's house to look for Guo Hongxia, but didn't find her, so I went to the village to look for Chen Guobiao.

"Chen Hui, where have you been these days?"

"Why is it so hard to find you every day? It's harder to find you than to find the county magistrate."

"The money for the village road repair has come, and the money for your back wall renovation has also arrived. How can you be okay if you can't find anyone to collect the money?!"

When Chen Guobiao saw Chen Hui, he spoke first.
