Chapter 301 Today's harvest is worth my hard work in getting to the sea early
"Yes, what's his name?" Wu Guang asked again with a wicked smile.

Wei Jianjun and Wu Shuisheng didn't say anything either, they just looked at Chen Hui and smiled, waiting for his answer.

Having lived in a fishing village for more than fifty years, even if I have never caught one, I have certainly seen one.

It can be seen from their expressions that these three people must know it.

Chen Hui looked at the lobsters in the water tank, smiled and said:
"Look, this lobster is all black, except for the base of its tentacles which is a little red, and the rest of the lobster has only white patterns. I guess it should be called a red-horned lobster!"

"."

"."

"."

Wu Guang, Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun looked at Chen Hui's confident look and felt powerless to complain.

Wu Dahua looked at the reactions of the three people and immediately laughed and said, "Chen Hui, I see you don't know what kind of lobster this is."

"Okay, let me introduce it to you carefully!"

"This lobster is called 'Shanlong' or 'black and white striped'. It is a very rare lobster."

"This kind of lobster is normally only about 60-70 taels in size. Those that are over one pound are considered big."

"The one I caught weighs about 1.7 to 1.8 kilograms. It's one of the most powerful creatures of its kind," said Chen Hui.

"Oh, you really understand!"

Wu Dahua had no idea of ​​the joy of gaining new knowledge.

I even felt a little lost inside, and I couldn't explain why.

"That's strange! We've been out to sea for a long time so this is normal."

"What about you? How do you know? You're a lazy guy who's never been to the beach many times before." Wu Shuisheng asked curiously.

“I read it in a book.”

"Although my academic performance is not very good, I have read a lot of these messy extracurricular books." Chen Hui said with a smile.

When thinking about moving for Chen Hui, a box of books was moved out from Chen Nianfa's room.

Wu Shuisheng had no doubt about this statement.

He patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You are lucky. You can get all kinds of strange things!"

"Uncle, you say this every time. I'm tired of hearing it."

Chen Hui made a joking remark.

Pour the seafood in the small net bag into a large basin and wash it with some clean water.

Light up the cold charcoal stove again, put a big pot on it and add a small amount of water to it. "

"This must be for us to eat, right?" Wu Guang asked.

"Of course, we agreed to have a snack in the evening!"

"See this palm-sized shrimp? There is only one. Discuss how to divide it and don't fight," said Chen Hui.

"What are you talking about? A few grown men like us can still quarrel over a shrimp!"

"This belongs to me now. No one of you is allowed to compete with me. Isn't it shameful?"

As expected, Wu Guang's words earned him two "Pah!"s.

But when it came to eating, Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun didn't snatch the food from him.

After eating pickles all day.

This pot of freshly landed seafood seemed particularly delicious, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After having a midnight snack to digest the food, Chen Hui asked Wu Shuisheng to call him at five or six o'clock tomorrow, and then went back to the cabin to sleep.

I have already achieved the ideal results from this trip.

I may find something else to add the icing on the cake tomorrow morning, but if you don’t find anything else it doesn’t matter.

Chen Hui was in a stable state of mind and slept soundly.

After being awakened by Wu Shuisheng, he yawned, rubbed his eyes and quickly regained his energy.

I picked up my watch and looked at it. It was just past half past five.

I ran to the deck excitedly and found that the sun had already risen.

"Hey, uncle, why didn't you call me half an hour earlier? I could still watch the sunrise!" Chen Hui said casually.

"Wen Jing is not here, why are you watching the sunrise by yourself?" "Besides, what's so good about this sunrise over the sea? I don't even like watching it anymore."

"Cook breakfast and eat. We will start collecting the nets at 7:30."

The 20-year-old Wu Shuisheng might have been fascinated by the sunrise over the sea.

Now he wants to know what to eat for breakfast.

"Closing the net at 7:30? That only leaves two hours!"

"Why don't we start cooking breakfast at 7:30? You guys collect the nets and I'll cook breakfast. We can eat whatever good ones we catch."

As Chen Hui spoke, he put the T-shirt he was about to put on aside and took off his pants.

"You want to go into the water? You'll get rheumatism if you go into the water right after you get up!" Wu Shuisheng said.

"That makes sense. Next time I'll go to the old Chinese doctor's place and get some rheumatism grass to stew with pig's trotters!"

"Eat it now until old age, it will definitely be useful!"

As Chen Hui replied, he had already put on gloves, packed up his tools, and went down the ladder beside the fishing boat.

Wu Shuisheng ran to the fishing boat, stuck his head out and shouted:

"The sea water is very cold in the morning. Try swimming around the boat first. If you can't stand it, come up quickly!"

After saying that, he didn't leave, but just watched by the fishing boat.

Chen Hui had no choice but to swim around in the water and said loudly, "It's OK. The water temperature is quite high today."

"Don't stay too long, come back soon!"

Wu Shuisheng gave instructions loudly and continued to watch from the side of the fishing boat.

It’s true that Chen Hui is really good at swimming.

Sometimes it takes five or six minutes, sometimes seven or eight minutes before you need to come up to the surface to breathe.

I can't tell why, but I always feel that when Chen Hui swam out of the sea and looked at me, his face seemed to say "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Old Wu, what are you standing there staring at?"

Wei Jianjun came out of the cabin and asked casually when he saw Wu Shuisheng standing alone.

"Chen Hui has gone down again. I'm worried. Let's take a look here!"

"You said this person is also strange. Why didn't he use such a good talent before?"

Wu Shuisheng said this in confusion and went to the side to get a kettle to drink water.

"There's no pressure when you're young. Now he's married. I heard his father-in-law is gone and he has a very young sister-in-law, right?"

"Wen Jing is indeed a good kid, but if he marries her, he will have to support a whole family."

Wei Jianjun clapped his hands and then spread them out.

I didn't dare say it in front of Chen Hui, but I always felt that he had lost out in this marriage.

"That won't happen! His mother-in-law knows it very well!"

"Chen Hui may help her a little financially, but he still gets a lot of help from others in his life, so she doesn't mean to rely on him completely."

Wu Shuisheng explained
Seeing Wei Jianjun drinking half a glass of water and fiddling with the charcoal stove, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cook porridge!"

"It's not good to just wait for Chen Hui to do it alone. If he's not available, we'll just wait, right?"

"Once we start to close in the net, we won't have time to eat!" said Wei Jianjun.

Wu Shuisheng thought it made sense and helped out.

After cooking a pot of porridge, I cooked another pot of vermicelli.

Each of them took a bowl, scooped some lard and poured a little soy sauce, then scooped two chopsticks from the pot and mixed them.

Just as I was about to eat, I saw Chen Hui coming back with large and small net bags.

"You came at the perfect time. You didn't do any work, but you ate a lot."

Wu Shuisheng joked and walked up to him and asked curiously, "What did you catch? Is there anything valuable?"

"of course!"

"Today's harvest is worth my hard work in going out to sea early," said Chen Hui with a smile.
