Chapter 519: Good Luck! This is a State Banquet Dish

"Wow! What a rare guest!" Chen Hui turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow! Uncle Xiaoqiao?"

"What day is today? You're here too!" Chen Xiaoming had the same reaction.

"What day is today? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Chen Xiaoqiao bent his knuckles, tapped Chen Xiaoming's head gently, and said with a stifled smile: "You go to the beach, I'll help Chen Hui look after things!"

"No! I am responsible for watching! I was here first!" Chen Xiaoming said with his hands on his hips.

"Hey, do you really believe he can get these things for you?"

"He is just trying to trick you into helping him look for something. You will end up looking for nothing all morning." Chen Xiaoqiao continued to deceive.

"I didn't really want to do this job, but it's different now that someone wants to compete for it."

"And seeing how curious Uncle Xiaoqiao is, he must be trying to take advantage of me!"

Chen Xiaoming shook his head and analyzed it very seriously.

"Huh???" Chen Xiaoqiao was surprised and helpless.

"Hahaha, if it were Wen Yi, he might have believed your nonsense. This kid is very smart." Chen Hui laughed.

After hearing what he said, Chen Xiaoming became more determined in his thoughts.

She refused to leave no matter what, and kept urging Chen Hui to get something good back.

Chen Hui took off his watch, handed it to Chen Xiaoqiao, and told the two people:

"I may not be back so soon after I go out to sea. You should keep an eye on the time. When it's half past six, call Xiao Ming back and wake Wen Jing up to have breakfast and go to work."

"Ah? Then me..." Chen Xiaoming looked up at Chen Hui.

"You can go and play by yourself first. I'll go down and find what you want for you, and I'll keep it for you if I find it."

"Remember to go back and call people at 6:30, leaving Sister Wenjing time to have breakfast." Chen Hui said again.

Hearing that he would not miss out on any benefits, Chen Xiaoming felt relieved.

He nodded twice and said, "Don't worry! Leave the matter of calling Teacher An to me!"

"Hey, really, we should have a holiday on Mid-Autumn Festival."

Chen Hui complained to himself.

There were many people around today, so he just took off his shirt, threw it into the bucket and handed it to Chen Xiaoqiao.

Wearing gloves for catching fish in the sea, carrying a fishing net and a tool kit, go around the steeper area ahead.

Go down to the sea from the other side, which is flatter.

Following the not-particularly strong sensation, I swam a few meters out and saw several silver pomfret swimming towards me.

Chen Hui counted quickly in his mind.

There are six in total. The largest one looks to be less than two kilograms, and the smallest one is about half a kilogram.

There are four of them that are all of uniform size, and each looks to be around one pound.

Today is a festival, and I need to take care of the relationships in the village.

I was just worrying that the different things I gave as gifts might not be appropriate, so I might have to go to town and buy them with money.

I didn’t expect the group purchase goods to be delivered so quickly!

Chen Hui quickly pulled out a medium-sized net bag and shook it open.

Holding the two sides of the net bag, they surrounded the school of fish head-on and smoothly put all five fish into the fishing net.

The smallest one reacts the fastest.

It disappeared in two whooshes.

Considering that it was still a child, Chen Hui didn't insist on catching it.

He tightened the opening of the net bag, held it in his hand and looked at it! He held the net bag with satisfaction and continued to swim out.

The high tide brought a lot of small fish, as well as some seaweed, kelp, and small octopus.

Chen Hui swam out for about ten minutes, and even the feeling of "not particularly strong but there is something" that he had just had did not come back.

Decided not to go out anymore.

Dive directly into the seabed.

The sandy and rocky beaches on the seabed will never disappoint you.

Although valuable and good stuff is not often available.

But there are a lot of conches, and the size is much bigger than those found on the reef beach. It is also easy to catch some crabs, mantis shrimps and prawns.

Chen Hui held a large net bag with a small opening in one hand, and felt around in the crevices of the reef and under the sand and gravel pile with the other hand.

Soon they caught two three-eyed crabs, three swimming crabs, seven or eight sea cucumbers, dozens of shrimps, snails and shellfish.

"Haha! Finally here comes something valuable!"

Chen Hui had just thrown seven or eight snails into the net bag when he saw a blue crab claw emerging from the pile of sand and gravel.

Among the crabs caught today, this is the only one with a little value.

Chen Hui brought the net bag closer and put the rope around his wrist.

Pull out a piece of cut hemp rope from the tool kit and bite it.

He reached out and pressed down, and immediately caught the defenseless giant blue crab.

This blue crab weighs at least 50 or 60 grams, which is considered a big crab.

Chen Hui quickly turned it over and took a look.

Unfortunately, it’s a male, and its value has plummeted!

There is no need to send it to sell specially. It is delicious to eat such a big crab yourself. It is delicious whether braising it or making it into spicy crab.

Chen Hui tied up the blue crabs with a hemp rope and carefully put them into a net bag together with the silver pomfret to prevent them from being caught by other crabs that were not tied up.

I looked again at the place where I had caught the blue crabs just now.

Just now when I was shaking the gravel to catch crabs, I seemed to see something light purple.

Chen Hui put the blue crab away and observed the location again.

He reached out and grabbed it, and his face lit up with joy when he saw the harvest!
It's a Shih Tzu!
It's so big! As big as a palm!

Chen Hui shook off the excess sand and turned the Xishibei over in his hands.

it is very beautiful.

The outermost circle is pearly white, and near the bottom it is reddish pink that gradually transitions to purple.

Once a girl used it to make a wind chime for herself.

Chen Hui also specially chose a location for hanging it where the sunlight hours were relatively long.

That one is still made of small shells.

It is rare to see dishes this big as the palm of your hand. Decades later, they became formal state banquet dishes and were charged by the piece.

"So lovely!"

Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh again.

Open the small net bag, put the Shih Tzu in it, and continue searching nearby.

Soon he found the second one.

"It's a holiday after all. I'm really lucky today."

Just as Chen Hui finished sighing, he saw two more not far away.

It took me half an hour to search the entire surrounding area, and I finally found seven or eight palm-sized ones and a dozen smaller ones.

I swam back contentedly with my full catch, and along the way I also caught a lobster weighing less than a pound and put it in the same pocket as the blue crab.

Pop your head out of the sea and look up.

An Wenjing had already pushed her bicycle over and was standing in the same place as before, chatting with Chen Xiaoqiao.

The children can't stay still.

Chen Xiaoming had already disappeared.

An Wenjing noticed Chen Hui's gaze and waved her arms happily.

Chen Xiaoqiao was about to shout, but was stopped by her.

"What's the matter? Is your man so precious that you can't even call him?" Chen Xiaoqiao was confused.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, you are stupid!"

"Look at Brother Chen Hui's happy face. He must have gained a lot."

"There are so many people at the beach today, and many of them are on good terms with us!"

"Everyone will notice it later, and when they see Brother Chen Hui sharing the harvest with you, they will all come over to ask you for a share, right?" An Wenjing said.

Chen Xiaoqiao thought about it and it made sense, so he covered his mouth and shook his head.
