Chapter 503: The net bag is full, who are the unlucky guys this time?
Wu Dahai had just collected the messy branches that Chen Hui had thrown away, and before he had time to help Wu Shuisheng collect firewood, he heard Chen Hui calling him to work.
Looking at the fishing net still bouncing on the beach, he said in surprise: "So fast!?"
"Haha, it's delivered to my door, I can't stop it!"
"Based on this start, I have a feeling that my luck will be good again this time!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he pointed again to a farther location, signaling Wu Dahua to go over there and deal with these mackerels.
Then he turned around and swam back into the sea.
Wu Dahua picked up the net bag and stood there looking at it for a while.
Chen Hui did not swim out of the water, and said enviously: "You are such a good swimmer! Were you a fish in your previous life?"
"Wu Dahua, what are you mumbling about standing there alone?"
"What are you holding in your hand? Have you caught any fish?"
Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun brought back two large buckets of stones of various sizes.
Seeing Wu Dahua standing there stupidly, I called out to him loudly.
"It's not us, it's Chen Hui."
"He was down there for less than five minutes, and he came back with this net bag."
"Told me to take it and prepare it, and said I would roast it later."
Wu Dahua said this as he picked up the net bag and went over to open it to take a look.
Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun also came over to knock, and the three of them said in unison: "Wow! This fish is delicious!"
"We caught a boatload of Spanish mackerel here last year. Will there be another boatload this year?"
"This year, the price of Spanish mackerel is 20 cents more expensive per pound!" said Wu Guang.
It is not common to earn more than 400 yuan in one trip to sea.
After last year, they came to this area twice more, but they didn't have any good harvest after such a long time.
"If I can earn a hundred, I can pay for my two younger sisters' tuition!"
"I was able to pay back the money I borrowed when my younger brother got sick last year, and I still have dozens of dollars left. My dad would wake up laughing in his dreams."
Wu Dahua is already looking forward to it.
After going out to sea together for so long, the most he ever took was fifty dollars.
"Don't think too much. Just deal with the fish first and wait for Chen Hui to come back."
"We can only have a good taste by following Chen Hui. If I had caught this fish myself, I wouldn't even be willing to eat it." Wei Jianjun urged.
I've only heard that Spanish mackerel is delicious, and Spanish mackerel dumplings are even more delicious.
But he hasn't eaten it yet.
"Okay, Chen Hui told me to do it over there!" Wu Dahua took a knife and walked to a farther area with reefs to kill the fish.
Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun continued to get out two large buckets of stones.
I made two stone pestles, one big and one small.
The wind is strong at the seaside, so after the stones are surrounded, some mud needs to be used to fill up part of the gaps between the stones.
While Wu Guang was playing with the mud, he called out, "Old Wei, bring that aluminum pot over here and put it on top to see if it's stable."
"okay!"
Wei Jianjun said this and took the aluminum pot and put it on.
While swaying, he adjusted the positions of a few stones until the big pot could be placed steadily on it.
He supported his lower back with his palms and stretched.
Looking at the waves ahead, he said, "Why hasn't Chen Hui come up yet?"
"Don't you know him? He's out of control once he gets into the water."
"How far or where you'll go, and when you'll be back, there's no way to predict it!"
It was already dark, and Wu Shuisheng had nothing to say.
He continued to break branches and looked forward with an anxious look on his face.
It’s been more than an hour since Chen Hui went down, right?
"I see there are a lot of snails over there. We're just waiting anyway, why don't we go get some?"
"Let's cook it in the evening so we don't have to eat the food we bought online." Wu Dahua suggested. "You are still the best at managing the household. Let's go!"
"Old Wu, you stay here and keep an eye on the things, we'll go over there!"
After Wu Shuisheng finished speaking to Wu Guang, he picked up the bucket that Chen Hui had brought off the fishing boat, and several of them walked towards the reef together.
No one goes to the sea to fish on the small islands offshore, so the snails and shells that are washed ashore are either carried back by the sea, eaten by seabirds, or sun-dried to death.
These don't consume much.
The three of them caught half a bucket of conches in just over ten minutes.
Wu Guang had also pasted the outside of the stone stove.
Four people stood on the beach, looking up at the sea in unison.
"Why hasn't Chen Hui come back yet? Why don't we go down and look for him?" Wei Jianjun was a little worried.
"He is much better at swimming than us, don't worry," said Wu Guang.
"Let's go down and find him. When he comes back, he will come to find us. Then we will go down and find him again. It will never end." Wu Shuisheng also said.
Having said that, the three of them were still a little worried.
"Uncle Guang! Uncle Wei! Uncle! Wu Dahua! What are you doing over there?"
"The sun has set, there's nothing much to see at the sea!?" Chen Hui's voice came.
The four of them turned their heads to look.
Chen Hui was seen walking briskly from the direction of the rocky beach, carrying three net bags of different sizes.
"Chen Hui, how did you get up from over there?" Wu Dahua asked puzzledly.
After all, Chen Hui had just specifically instructed me to go over there to kill the fish, and it would not affect him.
"Yes! Didn't you go down from here?" Wu Shuisheng said, pointing to the front.
"Hey! Now that we are in the sea, of course we will go wherever there is goods!"
"I've got the goods I want, so I'll just go wherever's convenient!"
Chen Hui smiled triumphantly and trotted forward.
"You look very happy. Who has brought disaster to you this time?" Wei Jianjun joked.
"Uncle Wei, come with me to fix the water tank. You'll know what will happen soon."
Chen Hui finished speaking with a smile, and the two net bags bounced a few times at the same time in perfect harmony.
"Chen Hui must have gotten the lobster!" said Wu Dahua.
"Captain Wang asked for lobster that day, and you actually got it for him?" Wu Shuisheng said.
Chen Hui smiled and picked up the net bag and shook it. "I don't know if this is my good luck or his good luck."
After that, he handed another net bag to Wu Shuisheng: "Uncle, please deal with these. You will use them to cook seafood porridge later."
"Hurry up and go up. Once you raise the lobsters, we'll come down and get some food."
"We had lunch early and I'm starving now," Wei Jianjun urged.
The two returned to the fishing boat one after the other.
Take out the fish box, pump seawater and pour it in, start the generator and connect it to the oxygen supply equipment.
Place both net bags into the fish box.
First release the contents of the large net bag, and then release the contents of the small net bag.
Wei Jianjun took a look and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow! This is not an ordinary lobster! Is it a flower shrimp?"
"And this, how come this shrimp is so big? It's bigger than a fish! The color is so rare too, has it become a spirit?"
"Haha, hahaha!" Chen Hui burst into laughter.
Pointing to the water tank, he explained to Wei Jianjun:
"This is a flower shrimp, yes. Its scientific name is Chinese brocade shrimp."
"That's a rich shrimp, it's this color, but it's only a female, it's almost a pound in size, it's really rare!"
Wei Jianjun took a look and asked in confusion: "When you say rare, do you mean rare for a female, or rare for one this big?"
