Chapter 461: Whether you earn tens or thousands, it all depends on your luck
Wu Shuisheng took the watch and put it on his wrist.
He nudged Wu Dahua next to him with his elbow and asked, "Look, this watch looks good on me, doesn't it?"
"It looks good!" Wu Dahua was a little envious.
Wu Shuisheng ran to Wu Guang again, shook his wrist and said, "Do you think this watch looks good on me?"
"What's the use of it looking good? You can't afford it!" Wu Guang said mercilessly.
"Who said I can't afford it? Ever since Chen Hui got married, my wife really hasn't given him any money. I still have some money saved up now."
"You don't have to buy new ones. Look at Chen Hui's second-hand one. It looks just as good as a new one."
"Let's ask Ah Yang to go with me to buy one tomorrow. We also need someone who can tell the time on this fishing boat."
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at it again.
This thing was worn on Chen Hui's wrist before, and he didn't feel anything when he saw it.
Why is it that the more I look at something, the more I want it?
"Ayang doesn't have time. There are so many things to do in the factory. Why don't you let Chen Hui accompany you? He is also very smart and won't be fooled." Wu Guang said.
"Chen Hui? No, no!" Wu Shuisheng shook his head.
If Chen Hui were asked to go with us, he would probably rush to pay.
Spending the younger generation's money does not make Wu Shuisheng feel happy about getting an advantage, but instead makes him feel uneasy.
"Sometimes I really think that you are too lucky."
"Your two sons are hardworking and obedient, and your daughter-in-law is also well-behaved. This one, who was a burden to her family, has made progress now."
After Wu Guang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Shuisheng originally came here to promote something, but now he also has to comfort his colleague's wounded heart.
The two chatted for a while and looked at the time on their watches.
Well, more than half an hour has passed.
Wu Shuisheng turned around and walked out of the cabin, and asked Wu Dahua who was standing by the boat, "Has Chen Hui come back?"
Wu Dahua shook his head.
"I knew that if I put this bastard into the sea, it would be like releasing a fish into the sea. There is no way to get him back."
Wu Shuisheng complained and stood by the boat to watch.
Chen Hui happened to pop up, tied two net bags to the rope, waved his hand and shouted: "Uncle, pull it!"
"Didn't you say you would come up in ten minutes? How many ten minutes have passed?" Wu Shuisheng shouted loudly below.
Chen Hui chuckled and climbed the ladder back to the fishing boat.
While pulling the rope, he smiled and said, "It's only ten minutes to catch the fish and shrimp for today's meal. I also got an unexpected harvest, which is different."
"An unexpected gain?"
Wu Shuisheng and Wu Dahua became excited.
After Chen Hui pulled up the net bag, he threw the larger one to the side and said, "This is for us to eat."
Then he picked up the smaller one and said mysteriously, "Guess what's in here?"
"What is that?" Wu Shuisheng reached out and poked it. It was hard.
"Rocks in the sea?" Wu Dahua said.
Chen Hui felt powerless to complain about Wu Dahai's imagination.
Open the opening of the net bag to reveal the contents.
"Wow! Such a big coconut snail?"
"Wow! Is this true?"
Wu Shuisheng took Chen Hui's coconut snails out of the net bag.
When I turned it over, I saw that the snail meat was full and had grown outside the shell.
If you pinch it gently, it will struggle to shrink a little, leaving a hand full of mucus.
"Such a big snail will have snail beads, right? Let's take a look quickly." Wu Shuisheng said.
"What is a conch bead?" This touched upon Chen Hui's blind spot in knowledge.
"It's a snail bead, just like a pearl from a clam!"
"This thing is very valuable! Last year a man found one this big and sold it for over a thousand dollars!"
Wu Shuisheng pinched the front half of his finger and showed Chen Hui the size. After that, he turned around and called Wu Guang to come over and take a look.
Wu Guang came over to take a look and said excitedly, "Such a big one? If this one yields a pearl, you'll be rich!"
"Do you know what that bead is called? Is it a pearl?" Wu Shuisheng asked.
The incident of finding pearls last year was also talked about for a long time at the dock.
But it had been too long and Wu Shuisheng didn't remember it for a moment.
"It's called something beautiful pearl. Maybe it's called beautiful pearl."
"It doesn't matter what the pearl is called. What matters is that it's valuable. Come and touch it!" Wu Guang urged.
Chen Hui rubbed his hands together and reached into the shell along the gap in the snail meat.
Dig on the left and dig on the right.
Nothing came out except a handful of mucus.
"Such a big snail, but it doesn't even have a bead? Did it grow so much flesh for nothing?"
Wu Shuisheng was a little unwilling, so he reached out and searched around, but there was indeed nothing.
"Let's go in and take a look. The flesh is so tightly shrunk that the bead may be trapped inside and cannot be found!" Wu Guang suggested.
"Is this snail expensive? If I sell it without the beads and only the snail, how much can it sell for?"
Chen Hui asked as he wiped the mucus off his hands.
"The beads are valuable, but the meat is not."
"The one last year was a little bigger than yours. After I took out the snail beads, I sold the remaining snails for dozens of dollars."
Wu Shuisheng said.
Wu Guang once again talked about his proposal:
"Selling a snail for dozens of dollars is actually a lot! After all, a basket of fish only costs a few dollars."
"But compared to the thousands of dollars worth of beads, it really isn't much, so I asked you to go in and take a look."
"Just think of it as playing mahjong. If you win, you earn thousands, and if you lose, you lose dozens."
Just a few dozen dollars.
Such a big snail, it’s interesting just to put the shell at home and look at it.
Chen Hui decided not to sell it, but to take it back and keep it in seawater for a few days.
When the weekend comes, I will invite Huang Xiu Lian and others to my house for dinner, and this will also be a special dish.
We can open a blind box together then.
It’s lively when there are many people, and it’s fun whether you get anything or not.
"Don't kill it. Keep it for now. Touch it later when you're relaxed!"
"Let's make lunch first. I'm hungry."
As Chen Hui spoke, he put the coconut snails into the oxygenated water tank.
He took a basket and poured everything in the other net bag into it.
In addition to shrimps, crabs, mantis shrimps, small octopuses, sea fish, there are also some sea vegetables.
There are two kinds of marine fish in it, which can be sold for a lot of money at the purchasing points. Normally, people are reluctant to eat them even if they are caught in the net.
Chen Hui went to sea.
Not only are there many varieties and sufficient quantities, but there are also good products.
When I went out to sea in the past, we would eat mooncakes with boiled water before collecting the nets.
In comparison, this food is already very good.
When Chen Hui was about to grab Zhang Hong from the water tank to make sashimi, Wu Guang and Wu Shuisheng immediately stopped him.
"We have all eaten that fish before, it tastes just like that, nothing special," said Wu Guang.
"Zhang Hong, you should bring some supplements. If you don't sell the small one, you can take it back for Wenjing to eat." Wu Shuisheng said.
"That's right, why do we eat so well?"
"The most important thing now is your wife, give her something to eat!" Wu Guang immediately nodded in agreement.
