Chapter 335 Is this fish valuable?
Seeing the Neptune grouper flipped over on its side, Chen Hui reached out and tried to straighten it.

This fish, which lives in the deep sea, is obviously not adapted to the water pressure in the tank.

The Neptune grouper tried several times but failed to stand up. It leaned against the fish basket at an angle, with its gills opening and closing.

"Have some courage! If you die, you will be worthless!"

Chen Hui had no idea what to do with this kind of thing.

One can only hope that it can last until Huang Xiulian's home.

Wu Dahua came over curiously, saw the fish in the basket and exclaimed: "Wow, this fish is so beautiful!"

"What kind of fish is that? Let me see!"

Wu Guang also came over as he spoke.

After taking a careful look, he shouted to Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun who were pulling the rope, "Come and have a look, both of you!"

"I'm coming!"

"What has Chen Hui caught that's worth your attention?" Wei Jianjun walked over and said.

"Chen Hui, what kind of fish is this? Do you want to keep it?"

"I guess the water tank can't hold two fish this big." Wu Shuisheng asked.

"I won't raise it anymore. I'll just cook and eat it later." Chen Hui said.

Wu Shuisheng nodded and was about to open the net bag to see what kind of fish was inside.

Then Wei Jianjun shouted excitedly: "Old Wu, come and see!"

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Shuisheng came over curiously, took a closer look and said in surprise:
"Isn't this the fish you call? What is it calling?!"

Wu Shuisheng felt that the answer was already in his throat, but he just couldn't say it.

"What's your name?" Wei Jianjun asked.

His current situation is exactly the same as Wu Shuisheng's.

I know what this is in my heart, but I can't put it into words.

"Oh! I really can't tell you the answer to this question, but it must be very expensive!" Wu Shuisheng said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When he heard that it was very expensive, Chen Hui felt relieved.

He was really afraid of this fish, just like the big yellow croaker.

No matter how expensive it becomes later, now it is just a simple 50 cents per pound.

"What kind of fish is it? How much is it worth?"

Seeing their reaction, Wu Dahua felt curious and envious, and asked eagerly.

"I remember now! This is called Neptune Grouper, also known as Yellow Dragon King Grouper!"

"A few years ago, I saw a fishing boat that went out to sea bring some back. I heard it was sold for more than 100 yuan!"

Wu Shuisheng's memory finally burst out of his throat, and he spoke excitedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I was there that time too, and we were envious of each other for a long time!" Wei Jianjun also echoed.

“It could have sold for more than a hundred dollars a few years ago?”

"Then shouldn't it be able to be sold for three to five hundred now?" Chen Hui was also pleasantly surprised by the price.

Although I have sold hundreds or thousands of fish before.

But those fish are rare in themselves, and they are big enough to weigh thirty or fifty kilograms.

And today this grouper weighs less than two kilograms!
"Five hundred probably won't do, but three hundred should be possible, right?"

"When we get to the port, ask about the price first, and then send it to the county town to show it to your relative." Wu Guang said.

Looking at the beautiful and valuable Neptune grouper in the water tank, I couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Chen Hui goes overseas only to make money and more money, and never returns empty-handed.

No wonder Chen Hui is unwilling to join.

I wouldn't be willing to do this if it were me.

Chen Hui keenly noticed the subtle changes on Wu Guang's face.

He rubbed his hands and said happily: "Great, if I sell this fish, I can pay the construction team!"

"Hasn't your family started building the house quite a while ago? But you haven't paid the money yet?" Wu Guang asked.

"I've given you some, but I still owe you six or seven hundred yuan!" "My aunt and uncle have said they would lend me money, but it's not easy for them either. Young man, you'd better rely on yourself." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Hey!"

"Your parents are gone, and Old Wu is your uncle. It's only natural for them to help you a little."

"Young man, how can you start a family and build a career without the help of your elders!" Wei Jianjun said with some heartache.

"I think so too!"

"But it's good that he has this intention. Just try your best. If it doesn't work out, just tell me."

Wu Shuisheng patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said with great relief.

When you are miserable enough, even if you get lucky occasionally, there is nothing to envy.

Wu Guang also said: "If there is anything we can do to help you, just ask. I have been waiting for you to borrow a boat to go out to sea, but you haven't come yet!"

"I've been busy lately, so maybe next month, I must go next month!"

"Otherwise, the workers will have nothing to eat but pickles."

Chen Hui had a sensible smile on his face.

But the pressure in my heart increased.

While everyone's relationships are still harmonious, buy a fishing boat of your own.

This idea became stronger and stronger.

"Stop chatting and hurry up and cook. We won't be able to sleep for long after dinner and we'll have to get up and close the nets!"

Wu Shuisheng urged.

Wu Dahua's stomach cooperated very well and made a long "gulp" sound.

It immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Hehe, I'm really a little hungry!" Wu Dahua scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

"I'm hungry too!"

"Isn't there still half a watermelon? Cut it up and eat some first."

"I'll go cook the rice first. Who can take charge of killing that fish over there?"

As Chen Hui spoke, he took the pot to fill it with rice.

Wu Dahua also went to cut watermelon at Chen Hui's request.

Only three old men were left: Wu Guang, Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun. They looked at each other.

In the end, Wu Shuisheng, who lost the card game and was supposed to cook, had to take on the job of killing fish.

As soon as he took the half-dead mackerel out of the net, he exclaimed:

"Oh my god! Chen Hui! Did you go down to the sea with a weight? The fish you caught are all big ones like this!"

This attracted Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun again.

"Mackerel, if I had known you could get this, I would have brought some wine lees with me," said Wu Guang.

"How could I have known this kind of thing earlier?"

"I brought some cooking wine and soy sauce this time, and it tastes great when fried!" said Wei Jianjun.

"Don't just think about eating, come and kill the fish together."

"If I have to catch such a big fish by myself, then I really should skip dinner and just have a midnight snack," said Wu Shuisheng.

In order to have dinner earlier, Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun also joined the working team.

Together with Wu Shuisheng, he cleaned the mackerel and cut it into pieces with a machete.

After the rice was cooked, Chen Hui specially selected a few whole pieces of mackerel meat and fried them on both sides with lard until they were crispy.

With the salty and fragrant fish pieces, the same amount of rice was obviously not enough for dinner.

Finally, there was a small piece of mackerel left.

A few people looked at each other, all wanting to eat but being too embarrassed to start.

Finally, it was Wu Dahua who spoke first:
"Can you give it to me? I want to take it back home for my brothers and sisters to taste."

"When I go out to sea with them, I can occasionally have a couple of days of good food, but they have never had these."
