Chapter 541 Fish Worth Tens of Thousands
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, why are you asking this?" An Wenjing was puzzled.
"Exactly. Why are you asking this?"
"You can't catch a fish this big even on the beach, let alone in the sea!"
"Isn't this the bragging you just mentioned?" Chen Hui didn't understand either.
"What do you care about me? Just tell me, how much did you sell it for?" Chen Xiaoqiao asked.
Chen Hui thought about it.
In Chenjia Village, I caught a big fish once, a blue-spotted piping eagle.
“I sold it for two hundred dollars!”
"Ah?! So expensive?! Can you sell so many?"
When Chen Xiaoqiao heard the answer, his expression changed in surprise.
"So many were really sold! Do you want to try it with me? I'll take you there." Chen Hui joked.
Chen Xiaoqiao is a good swimmer but he is a timid person.
It is possible to go there during the day, but it is absolutely impossible to go there in the dark at night.
"Huh! Just pretend I didn't ask." Chen Xiaoqiao said dejectedly.
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, what did you want to do by asking these questions just now?"
"You can't really want to go fishing with Brother Chen Hui, right?" An Wenjing asked curiously.
Chen Hui also looked at him in confusion.
"Hey!"
"It's not dinner time, they are all praising Chen Hui for being so great."
"I'm just bragging. It's just a fish weighing 20 or 30 kilograms. I can catch it." Chen Xiaoqiao smiled guiltily.
"Then what? You feel embarrassed to take advantage of such a big bargain, so you want to spend money to buy it from me?" Chen Hui asked.
Chen Xiaoqiao nodded.
"Then how much money do you have?" Chen Hui couldn't help laughing.
"I won over a hundred yuan playing mahjong yesterday. I thought it would be enough to buy 50 kilograms of fish."
"Aren't these fish only a few cents per pound?" said Chen Xiaoqiao.
An Wenjing chuckled, "Brother Chen Hui really caught a 50-jin fish and sold it."
An Wenjing suddenly remembered that Chen Xiaoqiao was a big mouth.
If he knew about it, everyone in the village would know about it in a few days.
He immediately stopped talking, smiled and said, "It sold for quite a bit of money!"
"I can't afford it anyway, right?"
Chen Xiaoqiao has given up the idea of turning his boasting into reality.
I'm too lazy to guess how much money it is.
"Give me one hundred yuan and I'll give you a whole fish! No less than 20 kilograms."
"Let me make it clear first, this is an inexpensive variety. Don't even think about the rare and valuable ones." Chen Hui said, stretching out his hand.
Chen Xiaoqiao thought about it.
My wife doesn't know much about breeds, as long as it's big, it's fine.
He took out the scattered money in his pocket, counted out a hundred and gave it to Chen Hui.
"Here!" Chen Hui took the money and handed it to An Wenjing.
"Brother Chen Hui"
An Wenjing was a little confused.
Do you really want to take Chen Xiaoqiao’s money?
"Don't worry, just take it. He's the only one taking advantage of me. How can I let him suffer any loss?" Chen Hui said with a smile.
An Wenjing didn't ask any more questions and took the money and put it in his pocket!
"Hey, you've earned a hundred dollars from me! If you don't catch a big fish tonight, don't even think about going home!"
Chen Xiaoqiao was arrogant and proud, showing the attitude of the client's father.
"What?! Tonight?"
"Even if a rich woman from the county comes to buy fish, it won't be like this! This business can't be continued! I'll give you my money back!"
"Wife, give me the money quickly!" Chen Hui said excitedly.
"It's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Now you want to pick a boss? Let me tell you! It's too late!" "Go, catch some fish for me!"
Seeing that Chen Hui was about to give him money, Chen Xiaoqiao ran to the beach.
"Brother Chen Hui, you've got yourself on Uncle Xiaoqiao's pirate ship this time." An Wenjing said with a smile.
"Oh" Chen Hui was a little speechless holding the money.
"Don't worry. Even if there really isn't anything, can Uncle Xiaoqiao still tie you to the reef?"
An Wenjing smiled and took Chen Hui's arm.
Chen Hui took her hand away and held it in his palm.
When the two arrived at the beach, Chen Xiaoqiao had already found the place where Chen Hui often went into the sea and sat down.
"Well, Uncle Xiaoqiao usually pretends to walk around in the rocky beach, but today he doesn't even pretend." An Wenjing said with a smile.
"He can show up at the beach for a while, which is just a show."
There were several women at the beach, so Chen Hui was not in a hurry to go into the sea.
Carrying a bucket and a flashlight, I searched on the rocky beach with An Wenjing.
Chen Xiaoqiao sat there for a while and seemed a little bored.
They also came with buckets to join in the sea fishing.
I shone the flashlight into the reef and it took me a while to feel a snail that was neither too big nor too small.
Not far away, I could hear An Wenjing's bucket making a thumping sound.
Walk over and take a flashlight.
There were twenty or thirty oyster snails in it, all of them big.
There are also three abalones, two mantis shrimps and a swimming crab.
"What's wrong with you two? Aren't we heading to the same sea?" Chen Xiaoqiao asked puzzledly.
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, don't ask me! All of these were found by Brother Chen Hui."
As soon as An Wenjing finished speaking, Chen Hui grabbed a crab with his long claws.
Chen Xiaoqiao quickly handed over the bucket in his hand and urged him, "I say, it's time for you to go to the sea too, right?"
Chen Hui looked around.
There were indeed few things at the beach today, and even with the cheats he had, his gains were not much.
Several women in the village couldn't find anything, so they left in twos and threes carrying their buckets.
"Okay! I'll go swimming in the sea and see if I can earn your hundred dollars!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he took off his clothes and handed them to An Wenjing.
He took out the gloves from the net bag and put them on. Then he found a suitable location and went into the sea with the net bag and tools.
Although I didn't encounter anything good at the beach.
But as soon as he entered the sea, Chen Hui saw a golden figure passing by a few meters away.
Big yellow croaker!
What a big yellow croaker! ! It must weigh at least three pounds!
Chen Hui immediately chased after it and admired the fish from a distance.
Its current value is nothing compared to what it will be worth in a few decades, but that doesn't stop it from looking really good.
In particular, Chen Hui’s vision does not become dim just because it gets dark, and the seabed is still bright.
"Da Huang, they don't know how precious you are!"
"You'd better come with me. At least when I eat you, I will know that I am eating a fish worth tens of thousands of dollars."
Chen Hui took out a medium-sized net bag, spread it out, held it in his hand and chased forward.
The big yellow croaker turned around and ran to the other side.
Chen Hui has caught fish in the sea so many times that he has become adept at predicting when fish will dodge.
He changed direction early and caught the big yellow croaker head and face into the net bag.
He pulled the net bag tight and weighed it in his hand with satisfaction.
The fish needed to nourish his wife's body was caught, but the fish that Chen Xiaoqiao wanted was nowhere to be found.
Chen Hui sensed his surroundings and swam towards the farther sea while holding the net bag.
A particularly strong sensation surged from the north along with the waves of the sea.
"Oh? Am I really so lucky today?" Chen Hui was a little surprised.
