Chapter 701 Don't cheat me, I'll be thankful
"Don't panic, it's not a wasted trip. I'm going to host seven or eight tables tomorrow."
Seeing Li Da's expression change slightly, Chen Hui quickly comforted him.
"One fish for seven or eight tables? Boss, are you kidding me?"
Li Da couldn't figure it out.
Chen Huihong immediately figured it out, looked at Chen Hui and said, "You went out to sea secretly?!"
“No, I caught him in the reservoir!”
"I have a black carp at home, weighing 60 to 70 kilograms."
"I'll cook it myself tomorrow. One big bowl will definitely be enough for the table." Chen Hui said.
Sixty or seventy kilograms of fish.
Caught in the reservoir?!
Li Da thought this sounded unreliable. He said with some concern:
"Boss, why don't you take me to have a look?"
After all, holding a wedding is a big event, and it would be embarrassing if it is not done well.
He also wanted to expand Chenjia Village's business and couldn't let this first customer lose him.
"Okay! Now that you're here, come to my house and have a seat." Chen Hui stood up and said.
"Lin Jiao, I'll leave this to you. I'll go with them to take a look."
Chen Huihong knew that Chen Hui had the ability to catch big fish.
I still want to go along.
"You go ahead, everything is fine here, I just need to wipe the stove again." Lin Jiao responded.
"Wife, let's go back first!"
Chen Hui walked to the door and greeted An Wenjing.
"Know it!"
There aren't many people buying things here.
An Wenjing is urging An Wenyi to learn how to write numbers.
Seeing An Wenyi wanted to stand up and follow him, he pushed her back onto the stool and said, "Write well!"
"Don't look at me! I can't save you."
Chen Hui shook his head.
After Chen Huihong came out, the three of them returned home together.
Chen Xiangdong and Jin Feng, each carrying a bag of things, were wandering outside Chen Hui's house.
When I saw three people coming back from the village, I was a little overwhelmed.
Chen Hui sighed heavily, "Aunt, I'll leave this to you, okay?"
"Okay! Take Master Li in for some tea first."
Chen Huihong was also afraid that the uncle and nephew would quarrel in front of outsiders.
He immediately took two big steps forward and asked loudly, "Adong, why are you here?"
"I thought Chen Hui was sleeping at home, but it turns out that's not the case."
"Why did you come here today?"
"Isn't he hosting a party tomorrow? Let's bring something over for him."
As Chen Xiangdong spoke, he handed the thing in his hand to Chen Huihong.
Chen Hui and Li Da were walking by and stopped when they heard this.
He looked at Chen Xiangdong and Jin Feng and said, "Come early to eat tomorrow, and don't leave any food, we don't need it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"
"Take Master Li in first, quickly!" Chen Huihong patted Chen Hui and said in a reproachful tone.
“There’s really no shortage!”
Chen Hui stopped and said with a sincere look on his face:
"Chen Xu is going to get married soon. He needs to give a dowry, buy things, and build a house anyway."
"My uncle is not very rich, and soon his pocket will be even tighter, so he won't have to take care of me."
Chen Huihong looked at Chen Hui in surprise.
Just when I was wondering when the child changed his personality, even Chen Xiangdong became considerate of him.
Immediately, Chen Hui continued:
"I never ask for anything from you, uncle. As long as you don't come to me to settle accounts with me and don't come to me to borrow money when you have no money, I will be thankful."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he turned around and led Li Da into the house.
It's obvious that there's discord among the relatives.
Li Da was tactful enough to pretend he didn't see it.
He pretended to be stupid and went straight to the big blue carp as soon as he entered the house.
In front of outsiders, Chen Hui didn't give him any face at all.
Chen Xiangdong was so angry that he started to curse outside the house, but he was restrained by Chen Huihong before he could finish his curse. The three of them chatted for a while outside before Chen Huihong came in.
"Did you take the things?"
Chen Hui smiled with satisfaction when he saw Chen Huihong coming back empty-handed.
"You!"
Chen Huihong really wanted to complain about him.
But she also knew very well that Chen Hui did this because Chen Xiangdong was too unkind.
"Boss, such a big fish must be enough for a table and a bowl."
"How are you going to cook it? Do you need me to bring the side dishes?"
Li Da asked.
These gossips have nothing to do with him, he just wants to make money.
"Yes, I'll write you an order and you can bring it to me when you go shopping." Chen Hui said.
"Okay, let's quickly confirm the other dishes."
"The things in the vegetable market are not complete, sometimes you have to go to several places." Li Da urged.
"I'll go boil some water, you two can discuss it first."
Chen Hui went into the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
Chen Huihong and Li Da discussed it outside first.
Chen Hui quickly made some tea.
Each person drank a cup of hot tea.
They had already discussed what dishes they wanted, how much they wanted, and anything else that Li Da needed to buy.
Li Da took the written list and walked out hurriedly.
"Ouch! Ouch ouch ouch ouch."
Huang Miao was carrying two large bags and was almost bumped by Li Da.
He dodged nimbly with the bag in his hand, but nearly fell into a field one step below the roadside.
Li Da quickly pulled him aside and said embarrassedly, "Little brother, I'm sorry!"
Chen Hui and Chen Huihong heard the noise and also walked to the door.
"Goushun, you're not here to give me something too, are you?"
Chen Hui saw that he was holding a bag in each hand and for some reason found it a little funny.
It feels like watching a child learning how adults do things.
"Yes!"
"This bag is given to you by my master. It contains acorn paste."
"My master's wife said that this bag of soup is enough to host ten tables."
"This bag was given to me by my mother. It contains peanuts she made herself. It's enough for one table and one plate."
Huang Miao said this and handed the bags in both hands to Chen Hui.
"You just took it like that? Why don't you just show me some courtesy?"
Chen Hui gradually got used to being polite.
There's no need to be polite, it would just feel weird.
"A master's wife, a biological mother, how can you be so polite to tell me?"
"Just take it since it's given to you! I'm going back to work!" Huang Miao said.
"Master Huang, are you so busy?"
"I also wanted to ask you to take a day off tomorrow so that we can go up the mountain to play after lunch." Chen Hui said.
"So you still remember this?"
"I'm still waiting for you to say that. The fourth one has already come to tell me."
"Because we have to play tomorrow, I have to hurry and finish all the work today."
"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving!"
Huang Miao waved and trotted away.
"Boss, then we don't need to buy acorn paste and peanuts tomorrow, right?" Li Da asked, pointing at the bag.
Chen Hui opened the bag and looked at it.
Huang Miao’s mother washed the peanuts very cleanly. After being dried in the sun, the peanut shells turned slightly yellow, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Chen Lianying’s acorn paste is also very good.
"These two are good, especially the ointment, which looks better than the ones bought at the vegetable market." Li Da said.
"Then don't buy these two. Just buy the rest according to the list."
"If there's any extra, I can keep it for myself, or use it to repay a favor later."
