Chapter 065 Fish Maw Supplement
The fish was sold at a good price, and both Chen Jue and the uncle at the B&B were quite happy. They chatted and laughed as they got into the car.
"Uncle, this time it was all thanks to your introduction that I was able to negotiate the price with the boss. Otherwise, I, a foreigner, would have been ripped off. I will transfer 20,000 yuan to you later as a thank you for your and Auntie's help." Chen Jue said.
In the past, it would take two years of hard work to save up an income of more than 100,000 yuan.
Now, you can catch it by just hooking your hands at the bottom of the sea in just one morning.
Although thanks to the transformation brought about by this attribute panel, Chen Jue also felt that the money came too easily and planned to reward the B&B owner.
After all, without him raising the price, Chen Jue's big yellow croaker would not be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. At most, it would be sold to the fishmonger for 80,000 or 90,000 yuan.
"Twenty thousand dollars?"
"No, no! Too many!"
"I wouldn't accept it even if you gave me several thousand dollars. It's just a small favor. Besides , you've booked a room in my house for so many days. It's not appropriate to ask you for more money." The uncle at the B&B was also a down-to-earth man. He shook his head like a rattle and rejected it outright.
"How about this, uncle? I think the scenery here is nice, and I plan to stay for another half a month. How about the room rate be 800 per night as we agreed before?" Chen Jue guessed that the other party would not charge him, so he simply did him a favor.
Anyway, a B&B owner will definitely not refuse tourists who want to stay for a long time.
"Is that so... Okay, okay! Just stay here. If you don't want to go out to eat, you can eat with us. It's troublesome . Your aunt's cooking is pretty good, especially the seafood, which is as good as the ones in the restaurants outside. Other tourists say it's good." The uncle of the B&B thought about it and knew that Chen Jue was repaying his kindness, so he agreed and invited Chen Jue to have dinner together when he was free.
"Okay! Then I have to try Auntie's cooking! But I have a big appetite, so I will pay for the groceries myself." Chen Jue said with a smile. He thought that the uncle in the B&B was a nice person.
If my father hadn't passed away, he would probably be in his fifties, like this uncle. Plus, the other party helped me once, so I felt particularly close to him.
As they were in a hurry to go out in the morning, neither of them had breakfast, so the uncle drove Chen Jue in his pickup truck to a seafood noodle restaurant in the county town, which he said was the most delicious, to fill their stomachs.
The signature seafood noodles they ate were indeed better than the noodles Chen Jue had eaten before!
It turns out that to know which local restaurant has delicious food, you have to rely on these locals.
After breakfast, the two drove back. On the way, they chatted with Uncle Yu for a while and learned that the old couple stayed at home every day to look after those small villas. In addition to entertaining tourists, they actually had a son and a daughter, who were a few years older than Chen Jue.
The daughter went to college and married in Vancouver, while the son inherited his uncle's old business and went out to sea to do deep-sea fishing.
The family had a very high income. They bought houses in the county town for their children, a fishing boat for their son, and built several luxurious villas for bed and breakfasts. They were definitely the richest people on the island.
As for the 20,000 yuan that Chen Jue mentioned before, in the eyes of others, it was just a few days' room rent during the peak season. No wonder others were unwilling to accept it!
It's obvious that he's not short of money!
…
We took the bus back to the B&B and told the aunt about the fish selling business. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Although the fish was not caught by their family, it was caught by a tourist staying at home. This is a good fortune that they can brag about when talking to fellow villagers and subsequent tourists staying at their home.
The aunt at the B&B expressed a warm welcome to Chen Jue for coming to her home for dinner, saying that as long as Chen Jue gave a heads up in advance, she could prepare the meal. Other tourists also often did the same. Those who run farm stays and B&Bs are basically all good at cooking.
This would save Chen Jue a lot of energy as he no longer had to take a taxi to the county town to find food every day.
After scanning the QR code and paying for half a month's rent, Chen Jue returned to his small villa to rest for a while.
Recalling his experience in the morning, Chen Jue couldn't help laughing. He looked at his deposits in the mobile banking app again and felt that the money he had spent on cultivation came and went quickly.
Before the money from selling fish in the morning had even warmed up, more than 20,000 yuan had already been spent.
I carried the newly bought fish maw into the kitchen, washed the casserole used to boil medicine yesterday, and found a tutorial on how to stew fish maw on the Internet. I learned that the fish maw needed to be soaked before being stewed in the pot, so I boiled some water to cool it down, and started making it according to the tutorial.
It takes an hour for the isinglass to expand, so Chen Jue went to the room to lift dumbbells and practice the Thirteen Taibao horizontal exercise.
I only practiced Tai Chi and standing meditation underwater for ten minutes in the morning, and I still had most of my strength left, so I continued practicing without feeling tired.
After working hard for the whole morning and brushing up a lot of skill numbers and strength attributes, Chen Jue took advantage of the fact that the fish maw was almost cooked, took a look at the free attributes and upgraded the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training to Lv2.
The siphon effect brought by the level 2 Thirteen Taibao horizontal training was equally strong. Chen Jue, who had been practicing for a whole morning, felt his muscles trembling all over his body, and even his bones made a creaking sound.
After punching twice violently in the room to vent his surging strength, Chen Jue ran to scoop up a large bowl of isinglass and swallowed it.
Isinglass stewed with longan, lotus seeds, rock sugar, etc. is very nutritious, but the first time Chen Jue made it, it still had a faint fishy smell, so he pinched his nose and ate it.
The violent peristalsis of the stomach and intestines began to accelerate the digestion of the nutrients in fish maw. Chen Jue did not stop until he had finished eating a whole pot of more than 1 kilogram of fish maw.
Taking a look at the attribute panel, I found that my physique increased by 0.08, my agility increased by 0.03, and my strength increased by as much as 0.1!
Compared with the Pai Da Gong, this Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Gong has a more obvious effect on muscle growth and strength. Just upgrading from level 1 to level 2 has brought such a big improvement, which makes Chen Jue look forward to the subsequent improvement .
“It should be more powerful than reaching perfection in Paida Kung Fu, right?” Chen Jue recalled his previous experience, feeling happy. He ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth to get rid of the fishy taste in his mouth.
Although fish maw is nutritious, it will definitely smell fishy if not cooked by someone who knows how.
Chen Jue felt that the tutorials on the Internet were a bit unreliable. Those graphic tutorials looked good, but no one knew what the finished product would taste like.
Even for video tutorials, most of the food captured in the videos are extremely brightly colored, and only the food blogger in front of the camera knows whether it tastes good or not.
The smell can't be transmitted through the camera, right?
Especially for those who are keen on exploring restaurants, even if they eat extremely bad food, they will probably say to the camera with tears in their eyes: "It's delicious!" Otherwise, they can forget about walking out of that restaurant alive.
