"Yeah! I don't understand this either. I heard them say that this kind of fish is very valuable." Shen Li said with a smile.

"It's really valuable. This one must be worth at least one or two hundred yuan." Lu Jingchuan said, "We have to take good care of it, or it will die."

As he spoke, he found a slightly larger round glass bottle at home, filled it with water, and placed the grouper in it alone.

The grouper turned in circles in the bathtub, swimming around in the water and looking very energetic.

"Shrimp, prawns!" Duoduo pointed at the lobster in the bucket with her little finger. Her dark eyes widened in shock. "So big!"

The lobster's claws were thicker than her arms!

Duoduo's little mouth was sparkling and she was already drooling.

Lu Minghui, who was standing by, stared at the small bucket with his dark eyes and swallowed unconsciously.

Although he had lived on the island for a while, he had never seen such a big lobster, and such a huge octopus!

I have to admit that beautiful women are really amazing.

Shen Li smiled and said, "I'm going to cook a big meal tonight, why don't we invite everyone to come over for dinner?"

"Okay, Minghui, go and invite my friends to our house." Lu Jingchuan said, "Your Aunt Shen and I will be busy in the kitchen."

Lu Minghui nodded and ran away quickly.

-

Shen Li and Lu Jingchuan came to the kitchen.

Lu Jingchuan was responsible for cleaning the octopus and seafood for Shen Li, cutting them into pieces, placing them on the plate, and chopping the onions, ginger and garlic with quick movements.

"Leave the kitchen to me from now on. When your friends come, you can chat with them." Shen Li said with a smile.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lu Jingchuan stood up and left the kitchen.

The first dish Shen Li made was stir-fried octopus.

At this time, Lu Jingchuan had already marinated the octopus with coarse salt and washed it with clean water, making it white and tender.

Shen Li first blanched the octopus and other seafood in hot water, then took them out and poured out the water in the pot. She then heated oil in a pot, added green onions, ginger, garlic, onions, and red chili peppers, and stir-fried the hot oil until fragrant.

After blanching, she poured the octopus into the oil pan and sprinkled it with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and a little vinegar.

Afterwards, Shen Li stir-fried the octopus, swinging the iron pan in circles on the gas stove with her slender arms to ensure that the octopus meat in every corner of the pan was heated evenly.

Gradually, the white and tender octopus was fried into a sauce-like color, and when it was cooked to perfection, it was time to take it out of the pan.

After taking it out of the pot, Shen Li sprinkled it with chopped green onions, and just like that, a plate of steaming stir-fried octopus was ready!

Lu Minghui, who was standing by, walked into the kitchen a little nervously. Seeing Shen Li busy at work, he whispered, "I...I'll serve the dishes."

"Okay." Shen Li nodded and prepared to cook the second dish.

Lu Minghui nervously carried the plate and walked out of the kitchen.

"I can smell the fragrance from a long distance away!" At this time, Lu Jingchuan's friend, Captain Chen, had already arrived at their home.

Seeing the tempting stir-fried octopus on the dining table, he swallowed and said, "Old Lu, is this made by my sister-in-law?"

"That's right." Lu Jingchuan called everyone, "Come on, sit down, everyone."

This time, several of Lu Jingchuan's friends who were at the regimental commander level came with their military wives, and the room was soon filled with people.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

They all came with some food, such as kelp, mantis shrimp, shrimp and hairtail.

These things were sent to the kitchen by Lu Jingchuan.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Lu Jingchuan asked when he saw Shen Li busy in the kitchen alone.

"No need, it's very simple, just go outside and chat with everyone." Shen Li smiled tenderly with curved lips.

Lu Jingchuan felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey, "Thank you for your hard work, call me if you need help."

How lucky is he to marry such a good wife?

"Okay." Shen Li chuckled.

Next, Shen Li was busy preparing one or two dishes: giant lobster in garlic sauce!

First, you need to make the garlic sauce. Cut a lot of garlic into small pieces. After cutting, wash it with water to remove the mucus on the surface of the garlic. Then put cold oil into the pan, pour all the minced garlic into it, and fry it over low heat. When it turns golden brown, filter the golden minced garlic, take it out, put it in a small bowl, add peanut oil, salt and sugar. That's it, the garlic sauce is ready!

Shen Li placed the pre-soaked vermicelli in the garlic sauce and mixed it evenly with her hands.

Then, she pressed the cleaned garlic lobster under her palm. The lobster waved its claws in a final struggle, but Shen Li certainly would not give it this chance. She took advantage of its unpreparedness and quickly performed a head removal operation, moving swiftly and steadily.

Just like that, the big lobster was tossed around and died.

Shen Li took a pair of large scissors and cut open the shrimp shell. She stopped at the tail and cut off the small fan-like tail completely.

Afterwards, Shen Li divided the lobster into three parts, cut it into three small sections, and cut off all the unusable parts.

The big pliers were quite hard, so Shen Li found a small hammer and smashed the two big pliers into pieces with two bangs.

All the preparations were done. Shen Li chose a long white plate, cleaned it, and then fixed the dragon head and tail on the head and stomach of the plate respectively. Then, she placed the shortened meat from the lobster's belly in the middle, sprinkled it with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and placed the smashed large claws on both sides.

Just like that, a platter of garlic lobsters is ready.

Next, start steaming it!

Among the seafood picked up were some large oysters. Shen Li pried open the shells of the oysters with a knife, sprinkled the white and tender oyster meat with the vermicelli and garlic sauce that had just been marinated, sprinkled a little chili, and placed them on the remaining plates.

After everything was processed, Shen Li started to carry two large plates to steam them.

There was still a lot of kelp that the military wives had brought with them. Shen Li cut all the kelp, boiled it in water, took it out, sprinkled it with ginger vinegar, white sesame seeds, and chopped chili peppers, marinated it into kelp shreds, put it in a large ceramic bowl, and stirred it evenly.

As for the mantis shrimps and sea prawns, Shen Li boiled them all with cooking wine, steamed them, and then prepared a small sauce. She put the sauce in a small bowl and placed it in the center of the plate. She arranged all the cooked mantis shrimps and prawns neatly on the plate and inserted a green trimmed banana leaf on top.

At this time, the garlic lobster and garlic oysters were all cooked. Shen Li opened the pot and sprinkled in a little hot oil and chopped green onions.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"This smells so good! What delicious food did my sister-in-law make?!"

The big guy outside exclaimed.
