Chapter 299: Can you catch lobsters by throwing this rag into the sea?
The fishing boat slowly sailed out of the port.

Chen Hui was "fishing" beside the fishing boat, enjoying the sea breeze.

From time to time, I would collect the cloth strips that were dried by the sea breeze, soak them in sea water, and then throw them back in.

The first time they asked him about this strange habit that came out of nowhere, but this time they were no longer surprised.

Only Wu Shuisheng came over and asked when he had nothing to do.

"You keep putting this rag in the water all day. Is that what you used to find the lobster last time?"

"Uncle, I'm telling you the truth, please don't tell anyone else. This is it."

"Okay, keep dreaming."

"."

Chen Hui smiled as he watched Wu Shuisheng walk away.

All day today, the fishing boats will be heading towards their designated destination.

Arrive before dark and start setting the net.

Then take a nap and wait until tomorrow morning to collect the nets and return.

Chen Hui plans to go to the sea after setting up the net or before closing it tomorrow.

If it wasn't particularly obvious that he would miss the opportunity and regret it for the rest of his life, he didn't plan to go into the sea on the road this time.

"Fishing" is just out of boredom, and I want to become familiar with how to use the Golden Finger vulnerability.

After all, you have to go to sea suddenly, and every time you bring back good things, it is hard not to think too much.

Although there is no point in thinking too much.

Chen Hui spent five hours feeling the ocean, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he lit the charcoal stove.

I used the half pound of pork that Wei Jianjun brought and added pickles to cook a big pot of vermicelli.

"Why does Chen Hui seem to have no interest in going into the sea this time? I thought he would go down and catch something to cook noodles."

Wu Guang joked while having lunch.

"We are building a house at home. I have been thinking about building a house all morning."

Chen Hui smiled and smoothly changed the subject.

"What do you plan to do with the house?" Wu Dahua asked.

"You're not building a house, why are you asking so many questions!" Wei Jianjun said.

Wu Dahua ate his dried rice noodles and said a little embarrassedly:

"My dad said that after a year or two when I get married, there won't be enough room for me at home."

"I will be given some money when the time comes, so I can save some and build the land behind the house."

"You marry a wife so that she can sleep in the same bed with you, but you don't need an extra room?" Chen Hui was puzzled.

"Look, this is because there are few children in the family."

Wu Guang teased, then explained: "He slept in the same room with his brother and grandmother. His grandmother had one bed, and he and his brother had another bed."

"That really makes it hard to sleep!"

While eating noodles, Chen Hui talked about his idea of ​​building a new house.

Wu Dahua was very envious after hearing this.

He shook his head soberly and said, "I definitely can't build something like this in my house. At most, I can just raise a floor on the flat ground and add a few more rooms."

"Every family has its own way of living. When I first got married, I had to share a room with my grandparents."

"We don't dare to do anything at night. We always wait until they go out during the day to make quick decisions."

Wei Jianjun's words immediately resonated with Wu Guang and Wu Shuisheng.

The three older ones began to reminisce about the past.

Chen Hui silently ate two large bowls of vermicelli and signaled Wu Dahua to eat more.

After Wu Guang and the other two finished chatting, they came to their senses and there was not much left in the pot.

We were just talking about how we had been sailing together for more than ten years, and how we had been through so many ups and downs together, and how we now regarded each other as brothers.

In the blink of an eye, they were about to start a fight over how to divide the two bowls of noodles in the pot among three people.

Chen Hui and Wu Dahua had no choice but to try to reconcile them.

The three of them quickly united as one and accused Chen Hui and Wu Dahua of eating too much and not remembering to leave more for their elders.

"Our ancestors said, 'Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping.' See, this is the wisdom of our ancestors!"

Chen Hui joked and pulled out a bowl of vermicelli from behind.

He handed it to Wu Guang and said, "Uncle Guang, this is something I saved especially for you!" "Oh my! Hehehehehe."

"Look, Chen Hui is very considerate and even left a bowl for me."

"Dahua, learn from them!"

Wu Guang took the boiled vermicelli brought by Chen Hui with surprise.

Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun stopped arguing and quickly finished what was in their bowls and divided the rest in the pot.

"Uncle Guang, can you take the helm this afternoon and teach me how to drive a fishing boat?" Chen Hui said, taking the opportunity to show his courtesy.

"Want to learn how to sail? No problem, I'll teach you after dinner!"

"Operating a fishing boat is actually very simple." Wu Guang explained the theoretical knowledge to Chen Hui while eating noodles.

Wu Dahua looked at Chen Hui and then at Wu Guang.

I always feel like I've been cheated, but at the same time I haven't suffered any loss.

After lunch, the job of washing dishes naturally fell to the youngest, Wu Dahua.

Wu Guang called Chen Hui into the cab and first introduced to Chen Hui all the buttons and handles.

Then he taught Chen Hui how to drive a fishing boat step by step.

How to judge whether there is an undercurrent ahead based on the conditions on the sea surface.

How to check the compass and determine whether you have deviated from your course.

Chen Hui looked at the retro compass and map, remembered a movie he had seen before, and laughed to himself.

"What are you laughing at? Have you learned it?"

"Once you've learned it, you can drive the boat!" Wu Guang said, stepping back half a step.

"Ah?! You let me come now?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.

This is on the sea!

You are more aggressive than the driving school instructor!

"Come on, what are you afraid of!"

"Today's weather is good, and there are few winds and waves, which is perfect for training."

"I'll help you deal with anything!" Wu Guang said.

Chen Hui nodded and strode over to hold the steering wheel.

Under Wu Guang's guidance, add gas, change gears, and move forward.

Avoid some waves and adjust your direction.

Chen Hui discovered that driving a fishing boat was actually the easiest thing to do.

In an era without satellite positioning and navigation.

The most difficult part is to judge based on the compass whether the fishing boat is heading towards the destination on the map.

It reminded him of the first time he drove to a strange city.

In order to find a place, I followed the corresponding bus for two hours.

Later, when I became familiar with the road, I found that I could just cross a small street and walk in a straight line, and I would arrive in less than half an hour.

The time spent learning new skills passed quickly.

Before you know it, time has passed.

Before dusk the next day, the fishing boat arrived at its destination.

Wu Guang asked Chen Hui to prepare dinner and called Wei Jianjun, Wu Shuisheng and Wu Dahua to prepare to set up the net.

Five or six kilometers of fishing nets were thrown into the sea section by section.

A few people sat down and had a cup of tea and chatted for a while, and Chen Hui's dinner was ready.

White rice with pickled bracken and radish.

The people who watched had bitter expressions on their faces, feeling that those bags of carbon were wasted.

"Chen Hui, aren't you too honest this time? Your toes haven't even touched the sea water on the way out!" Wu Guang said.

"Hahaha, you're just busy studying."

"After dinner is digested, I'll go downstairs and bring back something for a midnight snack."

"I'll go down again early tomorrow morning to arrange breakfast and food for the journey back," said Chen Hui.

　It's Chinese New Year! I wish you all a happy new year! Good health and good luck! May you all be prosperous in the new year! (`)
