Chapter 354 Sell this fish to me. I need it today.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."
"I have some fish over there, pick the ones you like and ask Wen Jing to tie them up for you with a hemp rope."
Chen Hui pointed to the bucket filled with fish and shrimp.
"Forget it, there are only some snails and clams in my bucket, just give it to him." Huang Miao waved his hand and said.
"After all, we've been out all night, so we have to bring something back."
An Wenjing selected two larger fish, strung them together with a hemp rope and handed them to Huang Miao.
"Take it. Aunt Lian Ying is very frugal and spends every penny wisely. We don't usually have good food to eat at her house." Chen Hui also advised.
Huang Miao then took the two fish.
"Let's go quickly. The tide is coming in. You need oxygen to keep this fish alive, right?"
Wu Shuisheng urged and went back with two large buckets of fish in advance.
Chen Hui looked down and saw that the wave that was far away just now had now reached his ankles after sweeping away a escaping fish.
"Let's go, the tide is rising very fast!"
Chen Hui took his pants and put them on without bothering to put on his shirt. He picked up the other two buckets and followed him.
An Wenjing was holding a bunch of things in her hands and jogged a few steps to catch up with Chen Hui.
The group walked back through the village.
Those who heard about the bet between Chen Hui and Chen Guangming ran out to take a look when they heard the noise.
I saw Wu Shuisheng and Chen Hui carrying three large buckets of fish back one after another.
They laughed louder than Chen Hui, and some even wanted to go to Chen Xiaoqiao's house to have fun.
"What fun is this? There's no fun!"
"What time is it and you're still not asleep? You don't have any work to do tomorrow, right?"
Chen Xiaoqiao responded one by one at the top of his voice.
Everyone knows that Chen Xiaoqiao and Chen Hui have a close relationship.
Betting is betting, but it is normal for Chen Hui to let him go if he really loses.
Hearing that there was no fun to hold the party, the villagers gave up.
Chen Xiaoqiao was very worried when he saw Chen Hui walking hurriedly in front of him, and he was thinking about how to get away with it all the way.
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, let's talk about the bet tomorrow!"
"I still have so many fish to kill, I'm going back first!"
When they arrived at Wu Jinhua's house, Chen Hui shouted to the back.
Without waiting for Chen Xiaoqiao's response, he turned around and went in.
"Hey! This kid"
Forget it.
Chen Xiaoqiao shook his head, and he and Huang Miao walked away while joking with each other.
Return to Wu Jinhua's home.
Chen Hui found the oxygenating equipment and raised the special fish first.
"Fortunately, this fish is not big. If we use a water tank, we will have to fetch some sea water." Wu Shuisheng said casually when he saw it.
“Big fish may be troublesome, but they are valuable!”
"It's about making money, so why not make a few more trips?" Chen Hui said with some regret.
"Brother Chen Hui, what kind of fish is this?"
"From what you said, it doesn't seem to be very valuable? How much can it be sold for?"
An Wenjing asked again.
I asked this question just now at the beach, but Chen Hui didn't have time to answer.
"This is called red grouper, and it's a valuable species. Unfortunately, this fish is not very big and looks like it only weighs a little over a pound."
"I won't go to Sister Xiulian and the others for this kind of fish. I'm thinking of sending it to Uncle Yaozu tomorrow."
"He invited me to his house for dinner last time, so we just happened to make an appointment."
As Chen Hui spoke, he turned on the lights in the hall.
Wu Shuisheng went to Lin Jiao's house to call Chen Huihong.
Chen Hui looked around the hall and asked, "Wife, where is the big basin for our fish?"
"It's upstairs, I'll get it!"
An Wenjing went upstairs to get the enamel basin, and Wu Jinhua, who had fallen asleep, was woken up.
He came out with the oil lamp on, and was delighted to see several barrels of oil on display. "Chen Hui, are these all what you got from the sea?"
"Yes, I haven't had fresh fish for a while, so I'll bring some back."
"We'll eat fresh fish all day tomorrow, and make the rest into dried fish to eat slowly." Chen Hui said with a smile.
Looking at the hall full of fish, Wu Jinhua was very happy.
He blew out the oil lamp, picked up the ladle and said, "How long will it take you to catch so many fish? I'll help you kill the fish and apply salt."
How can you let an old man in his sixties or seventies do these things?
Chen Hui quickly stopped Wu Jinhua.
I coaxed and persuaded her to go back to her room and continue sleeping.
An Wenjing brought down a large basin from the second floor.
When Chen Huihong heard that the harvest was fruitful, she quickly came over from Lin Jiao's house.
There were three full buckets of fish and shrimp.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and it really didn't take much time to handle it.
Sea fish cannot be kept in a bucket for long even with oxygen.
The next day, Chen Hui got up early, which was a rare occasion.
After having breakfast with everyone, when I was riding my bike out of the village, I happened to run into a construction team that came together.
Wang Kunhua saw clearly that it was Chen Hui in front of him and shouted loudly: "Boss, where are you going?"
"Xiao, no, it's Brother-in-law Wang!"
Chen Hui stroked his tongue, stopped the car and said, "I caught a fish yesterday and took it to the county town to sell it."
Wang Kunhua looked at the fish in Chen Hui's bucket and said curiously, "This fish is really good-looking and very energetic!"
"Since it was fished out of the sea, it has been supplied with oxygen, so of course it has better vitality."
Talk about this.
Chen Hui suddenly remembered that he wanted to build a water tank at home.
I just mentioned the request by the way.
"It's not difficult to make a water tank like the one I have at home!"
"The electricity for your home is originally pulled from the village, and it's quite far away."
"I may not be able to carry the connected oxygenator I have at home. If I use a small one, I'm afraid the fish may not have enough oxygen and die."
Wang Kunhua paid attention to these hardware details as soon as he took over the job at Chen Hui's house.
When the critical moment comes, you can grasp the key points immediately.
"Well, you're right!"
"I have some other ideas, too."
Chen Hui pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, making a water tank is still a long way off. I'm leaving first, and we'll talk more about it when I come back."
Wang Kunhua reached out and grabbed him and asked, "This fish of yours looks familiar to me. Is it a grouper?"
"Red grouper, the fish is quite rare, but its size is a little ordinary!"
"I was just about to send it to the state-owned hotel." Chen Hui said truthfully.
"You have seen a lot of good stuff, so this is just an ordinary thing. A grouper this big, and still alive, is already very unusual."
"Please take me home. We have guests today."
"Don't worry, we won't arrest you as a cook today. He's just a relative of ours."
After Wang Kunhua finished speaking, he looked at the fish in the bucket with its tail fin swaying.
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I feel.
Fish of this size are not too expensive, and it is quite impressive to use it to entertain relatives.
"Okay, I'll send it to Sister Juanjuan right away!"
"Hurry up, before she goes to the market."
The two of them talked and rode away on their bikes.
Wang Kunhua went to Chen Hui's house, and Chen Hui went to Wang Kunhua's house.
When He Juanjuan heard the nanny say that it was Chen Hui who brought the fish, she rushed out of the house in a few steps.
He opened the iron gate and said excitedly: "You came at the right time. I just happened to need you for something!"
