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

"It's really worth the money. This one will cost at least one or two bucks." 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 alone in it.

The grouper spun in circles in the bathtub, swimming back and forth in the water, and seemed to be in good spirits.

"Shrimp, big shrimp!" Duoduo pointed at the big lobster in the bucket with her small fingers. Her dark eyes were wide open in shock. "So big!"

The lobster's claws are 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 some time, he had never seen such a big lobster or such a huge octopus!

I have to admit that beautiful women are really amazing.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Instead of making a big meal tonight, why don't we invite everyone to come over for dinner?"

"Okay, Minghui, go and invite those friends to your house." Lu Jingchuan said, "You and your Aunt Shen are 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 a plate, and chopping the green onions, ginger and garlic with quick movements.

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

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

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

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

Shen Li first blanched the snappers 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 scallions, ginger, garlic, onions, and red chili peppers, and stir-fried them in the hot oil until fragrant.

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

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

Gradually, the white and tender octopus was fried into a sauce-colored color, and when the heat was right, it was time to take it out of the pot.

After taking it out of the pot, Shen Li sprinkled some chopped green onions on it. Just like that, a plate of steaming stir-fried snapper was ready!

Lu Minghui, who was standing by, walked into the kitchen with some trepidation. Seeing Shen Li busy at work, he whispered, "놖……놖 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 table, he swallowed and said, "Lao 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 regimental commanders came with their wives, and the house was soon filled with people.

The guys were talking and laughing.

When they came, they were not empty-handed. The big guys brought some kelp, mantis shrimp, prawns and hairtail.

These things were sent to the kitchen by Lu Jingchuan.

"What do you need to do?" 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 curved her lips and smiled tenderly.

Lu Jingchuan felt as sweet as honey in his heart, "Thank you for your hard work, just call me if you need help."

How lucky is he to have married such a good wife?

"Okay." Shen Li chuckled.

Next, Shen Li was busy preparing one or two dishes: Boston lobster!

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 in the pot, pour all the garlic into it, and fry it over low heat. When it turns golden brown, filter the golden garlic and 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 Boston lobster under her palm. The lobster waved its clamps and made its final struggle. Shen Li certainly would not give it this chance. She took advantage of its unpreparedness and quickly performed a head removal surgery. Her actions were quick and steady.

Just like that, the big lobster was tormented and died.

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

Then, Shen Li cut the big lobster into three parts, and cut off all the unusable parts.

The big pliers were relatively hard, so Shen Li found a small hammer and smashed the two big pliers on the left and right with two bangs.

All the preparations were done. Shen Li chose a long white plate, cleaned it, and first fixed the dragon head and tail on the head and stomach of the plate. Then, she placed the cut lobster belly meat on the ground in the middle, sprinkled it with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and placed the smashed clams on both sides.

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

Next, start steaming it!

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

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

There was still a lot of kelp that the military wives had brought before. 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 mixed it evenly.

As for these mantis shrimps, prawns, and sea cucumbers, they were all boiled with cooking wine, steamed, and then a small sauce was prepared. The sauce was put in a small bowl and placed in the center of the plate. The cooked mantis shrimps and prawns were all neatly arranged on the plate, and a green trimmed banana leaf was inserted on top.

At this time, the garlic Boston 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 guys outside were screaming.
