Chapter 066 B&B VIP Customers
After eating a whole pot of fish maw, Chen Jue even had a fishy burp, so he had to go out and ask the aunt at the homestay for help.
I learned that it is best to soak the fish maw for a longer time before stewing it, and change the water frequently to remove the fishy smell. Then, open the lid when stewing, add more rice wine and rock sugar, and put a piece of old ginger in to drive away the cold and remove the fishy smell.
During the process, you need to add more rice wine. It is best to pour half a bottle of rice wine and use it as water. You should also choose large pieces of rock sugar and add a few more pieces to suppress the smell. These are the old experiences of the fishermen on the island.
Of course, if Chen Jue bought old fish maw, which has no fishy smell, he wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.
But old fish maws are in great demand. Even the shop of that bucktoothed boss doesn’t have any in stock, and they are sold at sky-high prices.
Chen Jue slapped his thigh after hearing this, and suddenly realized it. When he stewed it this morning, he followed the online tutorial and added a little cooking wine and rock sugar. No wonder it tasted so fishy. He planned to go to the county town to buy a few bottles of rice wine and old ginger next time he stewed it.
After saying hello to the aunt at the B&B and agreeing to come over for dinner in the evening, Chen Jue transferred one thousand yuan to her payment code as money for groceries for the next few days. Then he went back to his small villa to take a nap.
After practicing for a whole morning, I felt a little tired, so I went upstairs and lay down until 2:30 in the afternoon.
After getting up, I washed my face with cold water to get rid of the sleepiness after the afternoon, went downstairs to practice the twelve moves of Yi Jin Jing for a while to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis , relieving some fatigue, and then continued to practice the Thirteen Taibao horizontal training.
With the support of the [Shaolin Bronze Man], the improvement speed of this hard skill that cultivates both internal and external skills is not slow, but it also takes time to hone.
Fortunately, when practicing this skill, it can also help accumulate free attribute points, and can stimulate a small increase in the three attribute points of strength, agility, and physique. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Watching the TV in the living room, it was playing the second episode of the secret documentary last night, which was about the Amazon jungle. Chen Jue spent the afternoon practicing while gaining knowledge from the documentary.
When it was time for dinner, the auntie from the B&B came over to call for dinner. Chen Jue then wiped the sweat off his body and ran over to have a free meal.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with crabs, small yellow croakers, mantis shrimps, homemade dried fish, and a few fried vegetarian home-cooked dishes. The taste was as good as the uncle at the B&B said, and no worse than the restaurants outside. Moreover, there were people to chat with while eating, and the atmosphere was different from eating out alone.
Chen Jue drank four large bowls of white rice in one breath, almost emptying the rice in the rice cooker. He also cleared all the dishes on the table. His appetite was so strong that even the elderly couple who had seen many tourists praised him for being strong and not picky about food.
After dinner, we went for a walk on the beach. As the summer vacation had just ended, there were not many tourists on the beach. Only a few could be seen here and there.
Listening to the sound of the waves rising and falling and gazing at the magnificent sight of the dark blue sky intertwined with the end of the sea, Chen Jue felt that such a life was truly relaxing and free.
Apart from practicing, I eat and sleep on time. In the morning, I went to the bottom of the sea and fished up a large sum of money. I have no worries about money for the time being , and the troubles in my mind have been washed away by the waves.
With his mind empty and his thoughts scattered, when the food in his stomach was almost gone, Chen Jue walked back to the villa, changed into swimming trunks and diving goggles, and went down to the rocky coast in the dark.
After diving more than 40 meters deep, the seabed was pitch black at night. Chen Jue searched around little by little and finally found the stone ball that he had thrown nearby during the day.
He picked up the stone ball and started practicing at night. His proficiency in Tai Chi stance had reached (1562/2000). It would take less than two days for this level 3 skill to reach a breakthrough again.
He practiced the exercises vigorously. All the pores on his body closed and heat flowed through his body. He used his skin all over to sense the changes in the undercurrents on the seabed. During the day, he had practiced the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal exercises and his physical fitness had improved a lot. He held his breath a little longer.
After practicing underwater for more than twenty minutes, Chen Jue finally picked up the stone ball and slowly climbed onto the reef.
After stuffing the stone ball into the crevice of the reef, Chen Jue ran all the way back to the villa to take a shower, rest, sit and soak his feet in hot water, and continue watching the documentary about the secrets of nature.
The third episode talks about the icy Antarctic continent, where penguins, walruses, whales and other magical creatures appear. Among them, the one that attracts Chen Jue the most is the Antarctic krill.
The documentary says that the reproductive capacity of this shrimp is extremely abnormal. The female shrimp enters the spawning period in the spring and will lay 4 to 6 eggs, with up to tens of thousands of eggs laid at a time, so that the mass of its entire population always remains above several billion tons.
Chen Jue thought about this number and compared the total mass of the world's human population with this Antarctic krill. He found that the gap was extremely large. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's more productive than the sows in the production team!"
…
After soaking his feet for a while and practicing the Yi Jin Jing to relieve his fatigue, Chen Jue continued to practice the Thirteen Taibao horizontal exercise to improve his proficiency after recovering his strength a little.
I practiced until 10 o'clock in the evening, until I was exhausted, then I simply took a shower and went to bed to rest.
He woke up before 6 o'clock the next day as usual. The biological clock was very strong, plus with the bonus of the perfect boy's skill [One Qi Chaoyang Sheng], no matter how tired Chen Jue was from practicing last night, he could recover after a night's sleep, and his spirits remained very high.
I went out to the rocky coast of Houya and practiced diving for more than ten minutes. My physical strength in the morning was not as good as that in the evening, which might be because the food in my stomach had been digested. On an empty stomach, I could only hold my breath underwater for seventeen or eighteen minutes at most.
After getting ashore, I went back to the villa and wiped my body. I saw the auntie at the B&B was already busy preparing breakfast, so I went to ask if I could have some breakfast.
The aunt naturally gave a warm welcome. After all, Chen Jue renewed his room for another month and spent more than 20,000 yuan, which made him a VIP customer of this homestay.
And I transferred a thousand yuan for groceries, so I couldn’t have finished it all in one dinner last night.
For breakfast, we had the coarse vermicelli that is common in Vancouver, which the locals also call slippery vermicelli. It tastes extremely refreshing and is served with two fried eggs, a few slices of green cabbage, some dried shrimp and a pressure cooker broth topping similar to glutinous rice. It is extremely delicious.
It was a pity that there were no large pieces of stewed spareribs like those sold in dim sum restaurants. After practicing martial arts, Chen Jue's desire for meat was particularly strong. However, just this bowl of breakfast noodles in his childhood memory still made Chen Jue eat it with great joy.
But before I could finish my bowl of noodles, the uncle who worked at the B&B, who had just returned from shopping for groceries at the morning market, brought me some unexpected and bad news.
"Ajue, the fishmonger at the market said this morning that a typhoon is coming in a few days!"
"Do you want to continue living here?"
