Chapter 191: Opening fish maw may be more valuable than fish!

"How can I handle such a big grouper?"

"I was originally thinking of paying a dollar to hire someone to kill him when I got ashore, but now..."

It was the first time that Chen Hui saw such a deserted port and he felt very stressed.

"One dollar to kill a fish? Are you sure?" Wu Shui asked interestedly.

"What? Uncle, are you planning to earn this extra money?" Chen Hui asked back.

"This fish is too big for me to kill!"

"Wait a minute, I'll find someone for you!"

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he turned around and asked the wealthy ladies who were waiting to take the fish to wait a moment.

He left the fishing boat and hurried to the other side of the dock.

"Why is he going?"

"We've already reached the shore, why haven't you dealt with the fish yet?" He Juanjuan came over and asked.

"He went to ask someone to kill the fish!"

"Killing such a big fish requires some careful considerations. There is a certain order to what to do first and what to do later."

"If you get the order wrong or break the fish gallbladder, it will affect the taste of the fish."

Chen Hui said this nonsense in a serious manner.

On the boat, He Juanjuan asked him to kill the fish. There must be a reasonable excuse for outsourcing the job.

"Oh, so that's it!" He Juanjuan did not question it.

"Sister Xiulian, do you want to go to the grocery store at the dock to see if there are any seasonings for sale? It saves us from going to the county town to look for them."

Chen Hui shouted to Huang Xiu Lian who was standing farther away.

"No need, she's going to take the fish back to the refrigerator at home anyway!"

"Let's go to the county market later. I'm sure they have everything you want."

Huang Xiu Lian and Wang Gui Xiang stood aside, chattering about something.

When she heard Chen Hui calling her, she responded and started chatting with Wang Guixiang again.

"Chen Hui, where is your uncle going to find someone? Are you going fast?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have followed them. I have never been to Dasa Village." Huang Wenqian came over and asked.

I don’t know if it’s the three major illusions of human beings that are at work.

Chen Hui always felt that Huang Wenqian, this little girl, was a little too enthusiastic towards him.

After all, he is the child of a big customer, and it is not good to be too cold to him.

I have always been worried about not having a suitable method to reasonably maintain a certain distance.

I heard Huang Wenqian following me and calling Wu Shuisheng uncle.

Chen Hui suddenly had an idea and said with a smile:

"What uncle? He's my uncle!"

"I call your aunt Sister, so you should call me Uncle, right? Uncle's uncle should be called Uncle Gong!"

"Come on! Call me Uncle Chen Hui first."

Huang Wenqian was speechless.
He gave Chen Hui a cold look and walked away, which made Chen Hui laugh out loud.

Wu Shuisheng quickly brought someone over and opened the door of one of the purchasing points.

Follow Wu Shuisheng onto the fishing boat.

Wu Shuisheng waved towards Chen Hui and introduced him, "This is my cousin!"

"Hello, cousin!"

"Who are you calling cousin? You should call me uncle!" Wu Shuisheng smiled and hit him.

Chen Hui didn't expect the familiar plot to play out so quickly. He grinned without any emotion and said, "Hello, cousin. My name is Chen Hui."

Li Jianshe nodded and urged Wu Shuisheng, "Where are the fish? Go check on them."

This cousin is obviously more interested in fish than in Chen Hui.

"It's still on the fishing boat. Come on up and let me show you the world!" Wu Shuisheng said as he took the person over.

Seeing the giant grouper in the fish box, Li Jianshe couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!!!"

"I told you, it's a big one!"

"Let's go down and weigh it first." Wu Shuisheng said.

"How can we catch such a big grouper with our hands?" "Stop the oxygen first. Wait a moment. I'll go get some things up." Li Jianshe said, and trotted off the boat.

Wu Shuisheng stopped the oxygen supply.

He pulled Chen Hui over and whispered, "I told him you sold this fish for 200 yuan!"

Chen Hui understood immediately and nodded.

Catching such a big fish at sea is enough to make people envious.

If people knew that it was sold at an exceptionally high price, envy would turn into jealousy.

"Should we add another dollar to the fee for killing the fish?" Chen Hui asked.

"What are you thinking about? You have too much money to burn, right?"

"Even giving him one dollar would be too much, so I gave him fifty cents!" Wu Shuisheng said with a smile.

"Ah?!" Chen Hui was surprised.

"It's just fifty cents, you don't have to give it to me."

"I forgot to calculate the money for repairing the fishing net. Just take the big fishing net back and give it to your aunt to repair it." Wu Shuisheng said.

"Then aren't you still at a loss?"

"How about I give you ten dollars more?" Chen Hui asked.

"It's worth it! Those red flower crabs can be sold for ten dollars."

"Your brother Dianhai will be back in the evening. Weiwei and the two children like to eat crabs. Don't sell the remaining swimming crabs and three-eyed crabs. Take them back and steam them for them to eat in the evening."

Wu Shuisheng was very happy when talking about this.

Li Jianshe quickly brought over a large enough basket, two large scoop nets and two pairs of gloves.

A pair of gloves was given to Wu Shuisheng to wear.

Two people worked together to put the big grouper into the fish basket. One of them lifted one ear and carried the big fish to the scale at the purchasing point.

Li Jianshe exclaimed again: "Wow! Fifty-two kilograms!"

Then he was very good at handling things and called a few rich ladies over to try to lift it.

He Juanjuan waved her hand and refused.

Huang Xiu Lian and Wang Gui Xiang became interested. They each grabbed one side of the fish basket and counted "one, two, three!" and lifted the basket up together.

"How is it? Very heavy, right?" Li Jianshe asked.

"It's not very heavy. It's not difficult for two people to lift it!" Wang Guixiang said, swinging her arms.

"This is a fish, not a sheep. It's very heavy, okay?" Huang Xiu Lian retorted.

"Kill the fish. I wonder how big the isinglass will be from such a big fish!"

"If you're lucky, the fish maw may be worth more than the fish itself."

As Li Jianshe spoke, he pulled the fish basket off the scale and poured the fish onto the ground.

He took out a long sharp knife.

Lift up one side of the grouper's gills and find a suitable position.

"What are they doing?" Huang Xiu Lian stood aside to join in the fun.

"bloodletting!"

"If you want to keep the fish meat chewy and firm, you have to bleed it first and then kill the nerves."

"It's not as if it's killing you, but it's very fierce!"

Before Li Jianshe finished his words, the giant grouper bounced its body vigorously a few times, splashing water everywhere.

Several well-dressed women were so frightened that they screamed and dodged away.

Li Jianshe poked the sharp knife in his hand into the bloody wound deep in the fish's gills. After stabbing it back and forth several times, he finally poked the nerve on its spine.

Soak the processed fish back in water and wait until most of the blood has drained away.

Carry the big fish onto the wooden platform and start scraping off the scales.

The scales of the giant grouper are hard and dense, and it is very tiring to scrape them off by hand with a big knife.

Even with Wu Shuisheng's assistance.

It took Li Jianshe more than half an hour to scrape the fish scales clean, and he was gasping for breath from exhaustion.

He picked out a few large scales from a pile of fish scales, showed them to everyone and said, "Look at this fish scale, isn't it as big as a dragon scale?"
