Chapter 462 He looks excited
"Okay, then let's just have a simple meal! I'll treat you to something else next time when we have the chance." Chen Hui said.
"No need!"
"The meat I've eaten in the past six months was either at your house or given by you. I feel a little embarrassed." Wu Dahua said.
"You've grown up and now you know how to be embarrassed!"
Wu Guang teased Wu Dahua, then looked at Chen Hui and said, "But what he said makes sense."
"Don't say that. If you didn't take me out to sea, I wouldn't be able to make this much money."
As Chen Hui spoke, he grabbed half of the seafood from the net bag and threw it into the basin.
Seafood tastes better when it’s alive.
As for the remaining half, Chen Hui kept them in a water tank.
Tie the net bag tightly and put it together with the net bag into the corner of the water tank, and it won’t take up too much space.
The fishing boat was shaking violently, and there was no need to collect the nets or do any physical work.
Chen Hui cooked a pot of fish fillet porridge with sea fish.
Lard and the onions and garlic brought were used to cook a pot of stew full of crabs, shrimps and octopus shells.
Looking at the simple lunch, everyone on the boat was enjoying it very much.
After lunch and playing cards for a while, Wu Guang stretched his body and said, "Everyone should go to sleep for a while. There will be no sleep tonight."
"If everyone goes to sleep, who will take care of the fishing boat?" said Wei Jianjun.
He was the one driving the boat late last night.
Although I had taken a nap in the morning, I still felt like I didn’t get enough sleep. I even yawned after I said that.
"Let Chen Hui take care of it. We need to untie the nets and catch fish at night, but he doesn't want to."
"Let's go, everyone get some sleep!"
Wu Shuisheng stood up and moved his shoulders left and right.
He called a few people who were going to work and left together.
Although it is in the open sea, the probability of encountering other fishing boats is very low, but not completely impossible.
There still needs to be someone on a fishing boat.
Everyone went to sleep, so Chen Hui couldn't go into the sea.
However, we had conducted a cursory search of the area this morning and only found one snail.
If you don’t have a clear goal, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go into business.
Chen Hui found a basket, turned it upside down and used it as a stool. He took some sea water and a piece of cloth and sat by the boat to "fish".
Feel the joy of the Air Force.
After dinner, several people started to close the net, each doing their own job.
Chen Hui watched from the side for a while and helped pass a fish basket or something.
Seeing that it was getting late, he went into the cabin to sleep.
When he first went out to sea with them, Chen Hui was kept awake by the noise of the net equipment and the fish being collected.
It's different now.
I fell asleep after turning over twice. These sounds are all used to help me sleep, and I slept until early morning.
I opened the door and ran into Wu Shuisheng.
"Hey, I was just about to call you and you came out!"
"Please arrange the fish quickly, as we also need to sell fish." Wu Shuisheng said.
"Are we already in port?"
Chen Hui strode out to take a look.
The fishing boat has been parked steadily, and the purchasing point is not far away.
He looked around and said with some disappointment, "The harvest this time was average?"
There were only two baskets filled with fish on the fishing boat, and one of the baskets was not full.
Even though Wu Guang and his team had already taken a basket away, the harvest was not good.
"You have to rely on the weather for your livelihood, that's how it is!"
"Fortunately, there are three lobsters that are quite large. If we give them to Yaozu, we can make a little more money than buying them out."
"Otherwise, it's not worth it to go so far and come back tired after two days."
"Next time, let's go somewhere closer, go in the morning and come back in the evening."
Wu Shuisheng also couldn't hide his disappointment.
As he spoke, he tugged at the half-filled basket and stretched his neck to look forward. Seeing Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun coming back, he picked up the fish baskets in both hands and prepared to hand them to them.
"Uncle, can you accompany me to borrow a phone?"
"Ask Yaozu if he wants Zhang Hong. Maybe he'll come get it himself and take the lobster back with him, saving you the trip."
Chen Hui strode over, picked up the other side of the basket and spoke.
"Okay! Just take these two baskets of fish to Jianshe."
"Anyway, the fish and shrimp are all kept, so they won't die."
Wu Shuisheng nodded.
The two of them worked together to pass the fish basket to Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun who were lower down.
When Wu Dahua came back, Wu Shuisheng went with him to take the last basket of fish to sell.
Then they bought a pack of cigarettes from a small shop near the purchasing point, and went to the village to borrow a telephone.
In the past, Wu Shuisheng would not go to the village community once in a year or two.
I've been there more often recently and have become quite familiar with the place.
In addition, every time he came to borrow the phone, Chen Hui would pay the phone bill according to the length of the call, and would also bring a pack of cigarettes to share.
The people in the village took the cigarettes and said only one thing: "Don't talk too long, it's not good if others see you."
He took the cigarette handed to him by Wu Shuisheng and went out to smoke.
"Hello!"
The phone was connected and a familiar female voice came from it.
From the tone of voice, you can tell that the other person is in a good mood and must be having a good time recently.
Chen Hui smiled and asked, "Hello, Sister Cashier, is Uncle Yaozu here?"
"Hmm? Chen Hui?"
"Yeah! It's me!"
"Yes, wait a minute and I'll go call him."
Chen Hui looked at the second hand of his watch. Half a minute later, Chen Yaozu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "My dear nephew, did you get some good stuff?"
"Hey, Uncle Yaozu, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly calling me so cheesy?" Chen Hui was confused.
"Haha, let's talk about this later. First, tell me what you got this time?" Chen Yaozu asked.
"Lobsters, more than a pound, three of them."
"There are also three red snappers. The largest one weighs about 50 kilograms, and the two smaller ones should weigh more than 10 kilograms."
"."
Chen Yaozu didn't respond, which made Chen Hui a little nervous, "Uncle Yaozu!"
"Tell me again, how many red seals did you get and how big are they?" Chen Yaozu said.
The tone was very excited.
Even across the phone line, Chen Hui could think of Chen Yaozu's expression at that moment.
"Three red seals, one looks like it weighs about fifty pounds, I haven't weighed it yet!"
"The other two looked like they weighed more than ten pounds."
After hearing Chen Yaozu's reaction, Chen Hui became more serious and said, "In fact, there is another one weighing four or five kilograms. I plan to take it home for my wife to eat."
"Chen Hui! You! You are really my nephew."
"Just wait for me at the dock! I'll be there soon!"
After Chen Yaozu finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Chen Hui looking at the receiver in confusion.
"What's wrong? Yaozu doesn't want it?" Wu Shuisheng looked at Chen Hui's expression and asked speculatively.
"No, he said he'd be here soon! And he sounded really excited."
“Although such a large red seal is not common, it’s not something to get so excited about!”
Chen Hui couldn't figure it out.
It is obvious that Chen Yaozu has been doing this kind of business for a long time and is a man who has seen the world.
I had good stuff with him before, but I never saw him react so strongly.
“Maybe he likes this fish.”
"Let's go, let's go back to the dock and wait for him. We'll know once he gets here."
As Wu Shuisheng said this, he took out two cents from his pocket and went out to pay the phone bill.
