Chapter 660 Are you interested in my snail shell?

"It's loosening the clamp, not letting go."

Guo Hongxia corrected Chen Hui's statement and grabbed a pair of pliers.

"Yes, yes, what Aunt Hongxia said makes sense."

Chen Hui smiled and nodded.

Call An Wenjing to bring a circle of hemp rope over.

Follow the same method, letting the king crab clamp the iron claws first.

Grab one end of the tongs and lift its large tongs out of the water.

He said to An Wenjing, "Wife, come! Tie it up and wrap the rope tightly."

"it is good!"

An Wenjing nodded.

Use the hemp rope in your hand to tie the front end of the crab claws tightly.

"That's good. It's absolutely safe this way. Let's tie this side up first."

"Otherwise, it will really let go and I won't be able to do anything about it!" Guo Hongxia said as she pulled the other side.

This crab is really too big, and its lethality is unmatched by ordinary crabs.

Several people were extremely cautious.

"Aunt Hongxia, it's loosening the pliers, not letting go of your hands."

An Wenjing laughed and walked to the other side with the hemp rope.

Guo Hongxia burst into laughter when she heard this, and imitated Chen Hui to pull the big pliers out of the water.

After both sides are tied.

Chen Hui pulled out the right side again and cut the tendons of the crab claw at the first movable joint.

The same operation is performed on the large pliers on the left.

After dealing with both sides, the big cargo in front of him posed no threat to Chen Hui at all.

Untie the hemp rope, pick up the pliers that fell under the water tank and put them back together.

Grab the brown crab by its two large claws and take it out of the tank.

Start by placing it on the sink on the side, then take the water pipe that brings in mountain spring water and start cleaning.

Instruct Guo Hongxia to take the two large oysters to the kitchen sink to wash them.

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you going to do with this crab?"

"Looking at your plans today, it seems that you are not preparing sashimi." An Wenjing asked curiously.

"Brother Wang requested that this dish be authentic and unique."

"For sashimi, the crab was torn into pieces and I didn't feel like I had much to eat."

"I'm going to take off the lid first, steam half of the crab meat, fry the other half and then braise it."

"After both sides are done, put them together with the plate and put the lid back on the big crab."

Chen Hui said as he processed the crab shells.

"That big plate is used to hold it, right?"

An Wenjing imagined what he said, "It will be an interesting scene when this dish is served on the table."

Chen Hui was amused by her appearance.

He asked An Wenjing to boil the water first so that she could steam the crabs, and he quickened his movements.

When the water in the pot was bubbling and steaming, Chen Hui cleaned the crab shell and half a crab in his hand.

The crab legs and large crab shells with large pieces of crab meat are put in and steamed.

While the crabs were being steamed, Chen Hui cleaned the other half of the crab.

"Chen Hui, these two oysters are clean, but I can't open them." Guo Hongxia shouted in the kitchen.

"I'll come, I'll come."

"Aunt Hongxia, go light up the charcoal stove."

"We're going to put these oysters on top and grill them. You're responsible for watching over the stove."

Chen Hui came in with a basin of half a crab.

He picked up the large oysters that Guo Hongxia had washed until they turned white and took a look at them.

He said "Hey!" and went out with two oysters.

"Hey? Where is Chen Hui going?" Guo Hongxia asked puzzledly.

An Wenjing shook her head and joked, "Anyway, I won't release them." The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Chen Hui came back with the oysters.

"Brother Chen Hui, where were you just now?" An Wenjing asked.

Chen Hui hesitated.

He picked up an oyster shell and said with a smile, "Didn't Xiao Ming tell you this morning that Guo Gang wasn't going up the mountain today and was going to build a chicken coop at home?"

An Wenjing understood and laughed too.

Only Guo Hongxia looked confused and kept asking, "Then what? Why did you go to see Guo Gang?"

"Oysters this big are very tight to bite. Brother Chen Hui couldn't open them last time."

"Uncle Guogang works in the mountains every day, so he has strong hands." An Wenjing explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's how it is."

"That's really hard to do. I tried it just now, but it hurt when I bent it manually and it didn't react at all." Guo Hongxia said with a smile.

Chen Hui specially bought the largest charcoal stove for his family.

Grill two oysters at the same time and just squeeze them together to serve.

While the oysters were grilling, Chen Hui also fried the other half of the crab.

Place the whole crab on a large plate and return it to the steamer to keep warm in the residual heat.

The slipper fish is braised, the oysters and snails are blanched, and the village's special dried vegetables are also cooked.

Just as I was preparing to stir-fry the vegetables, I heard a lot of talking outside.

"I can smell the fragrance, Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

Wang Xianzhi came in from outside carrying a bag of apples and asked loudly.

Seeing Chen Hui and An Wenjing coming out to greet guests, he handed the bag in his hand to him.

"Brother Wang, why are you bringing me food when you come to eat?" Chen Hui was a little surprised.

After all, this meal costs money, and it’s not like you’re really eating at a friend’s house.

"Nothing. Someone gave me two boxes as a gift. I thought they were good, so I brought some for you."

"Let me introduce you. This is my wife Li Yanhong, my son Wang Yuan, and my daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoyi. These two are my in-laws and my mother-in-law."

Wang Xianzhi introduced them one by one.

Chen Hui nodded to them one by one and quickly observed a few people.

Wang Yuan and Wang Xianzhi look very similar.

He greeted everyone along with his dad, and looked like a very gentle young man.

Zhang Xiaoyi smiled and nodded, being polite but also keeping a distance.

As soon as my father-in-law and mother-in-law entered the door, they looked around curiously.

After greeting Chen Hui, he immediately pointed to the cabinet next to the dining table and asked, "Is that a conch shell?"

"Yes! This is called coconut snail." said Chen Hui.

"Oh, your shell is quite pretty, and it's so big!"

"Boss, can you take this down and let me see it?" asked my mother-in-law, pointing at the shell of the coconut snail.

"Just call me Chen Hui."

As Chen Hui spoke, he opened the cabinet door and handed the snail shell to her.

My mother-in-law held the snail shell in her hand and played with it for a while, squinting her eyes to check the inside of the shell, and then putting it close to her ear to listen to the sound.

Only after her in-laws asked her to sit down and eat did she reluctantly return the snail shell to Chen Hui.

"Mom? It's just a snail. What's so special about it that you're looking at it so intently?"

Zhang Xiaoyi handed her a pair of chopsticks and asked casually.

"That snail shell is very nice. The shape is perfect for flower arrangement."

"Ah? Don't you have enough vases at home?"

Zhang Xiaoyi shook her head, indicating that she couldn't understand.

Seeing that the guests had arrived, Guo Hongxia said hello to Chen Hui and left.

The big crab will be the finale.

Chen Hui went into the kitchen and took out the other dishes first.

Zhang Xiaoyi saw the unremarkable blanched conch, braised slipper fish and rice soup.

Pulling Wang Yuan, he muttered unhappily, "We're just going to eat this?"
