Chapter 574 This is a technical job
I swam upstream for a while with great effort.

Then I saw Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun who went upstairs to rest and then immediately came down to help.

The three of them worked together and swam to the surface of the sea, pulling the fishing net.

"Did you get it?" Wu Guang asked anxiously as soon as he showed his head.

"It's inside!"

"Once this big octopus is sold, I'll treat everyone to a good meal." Chen Hui laughed happily.

Having accomplished this, I feel such a great sense of accomplishment.

In comparison, the selling price is not that important.

"Uncle Guang, how are you?" Chen Hui asked again with concern.

"I'm old and useless. I get sick and my body becomes weak."

"I should have asked Wu Dahua to come along." Wu Guang smiled embarrassedly.

"Wu Dahua is not good at swimming. Last time I saw Wu Shun dragging him to the beach to practice."

"Let's go, go back."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he pulled the fishing net that was being pulled by the giant octopus.

Several people returned to the fishing boat, tied the fishing net first, and after getting on the fishing boat one by one, they worked together to pull the fishing net up.

"Is that an octopus in there? It's so big?!"

"Wow! Eh!"

When Wu Dahai saw people coming back, he immediately came over to join in the fun out of curiosity.

The giant octopus was attached to the fishing net, twisting its body and causing the net to move with it, which looked a bit weird.

Even if we catch such a big octopus, we can’t untie the fishing net.

I can only take it back in one piece.

Although there was still some space in the fish box that I had prepared in the morning, it definitely couldn't hold such a large group of fish.

Chen Hui shook his arms and asked, "Uncle Wei, do we have any extra oxygen generators on our fishing boat?"

"No more, only one."

"This thing can't be kept alive. Even if it's given enough oxygen, it won't last long."

"Get some seawater to feed them. Just make sure they can last until they can be brought ashore and sold," said Wei Jianjun.

"It can't be kept alive? If it's not eaten up, won't it go bad immediately?"

This involves Chen Hui's blind spot in knowledge.

There was no quick-freezing and preservation technology in this era.

If it breaks, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
"This is different from crabs and lobsters. Even if they die, they won't spoil immediately."

"If there's a cold storage freezer, we can keep it as long as we want."

Wei Jianjun said this and helped to get out another water tank.

He poured a few buckets of sea water into the fishing net and asked Chen Hui to put the entire fishing net including the octopus in.

Only after the giant octopus was settled did Chen Hui have time to spare.

Wander over to see the rusty crabs, sea bass and sea urchins being kept.

He found two more red snappers in the fish box and said in surprise, "You brought these two red snappers back."

"Yeah! Seeing that you came back empty-handed, I wanted to show off."

"Compared with your big octopus, there's nothing to brag about." Wu Guang said.

"His giant octopus is also due to our contribution! In the end, we old veterans are more capable."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he looked at the sky outside.

Find the key and open the driver's door.

He called out to a few people, "It's almost time, get ready to close the net!"

"Let's get started, let's get back to work."

"I haven't been out for a long time. I hope I can get more this time."

Wu Guang continued the conversation and pulled out a few stacked fish baskets.

Separate all the fish baskets and put them aside.

I bought a few smaller ones and placed them closer.

When the fishing net is pulled up and the fish are freed with a hook knife, the catch can be sorted and released.

Just go back to the dock and carry them to sell in baskets.

"Shall I start cooking dinner now?" Chen Hui asked. "Sure, go ahead."

"It will take all night to catch the fish, so let's eat first after we finish pulling out the fishing nets," said Wu Shuisheng.

Chen Hui nodded and moved the charcoal stove to the side to avoid it getting in the way.

He took the seafood that Wu Shuisheng and his friends had caught in the afternoon and went aside to process it.

Wu Guang pumped the net shaft hard a few times to start it.

A long fishing net with fish hanging on it was pulled up from the sea.

The people on the fishing boat were busy, some cooking, some catching fish.

After dinner, Chen Hui took the initiative to do the washing and scrubbing.

Usually he would catch fish in the early morning, so Chen Hui went to bed early.

It was still early today, so he found a fish box and turned it over to use as a stool, sitting next to Wu Shuisheng to help him skin the fish.

This job looks simple, but it is actually quite laborious.

Most fish will have several fins scraped along their body.

You need to use a hook knife to hook open the hanging fishing net and rescue them one by one along the direction.

Some fish fins are very long. When they are pulled up onto the net and piled together, they will be hooked onto other fishing nets, which requires more patience.

After the fish are caught, they are thrown into different baskets according to their classification.

"Uncle, you are so fast!"

Chen Hui found that in the time it took him to catch one fish, Wu Shuisheng could catch at least three or five.

"This is a technical job. It looks simple but it actually requires a lot of practice."

"It's strange to say that you, who have never handled a fishing net, are so fast at mending it."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he untied another fish and threw it into the fish basket.

Chen Hui smiled and said nothing.

I listened to a few people chatting about the latest gossip on the dock, and then joined them in fishing for a while.

Feeling a little sleepy.

He put down what he was holding and said, "Uncle, I'm going to bed."

"Go ahead. We started early today and we can finish it by the first half of the night," said Wu Shuisheng.

Chen Hui stood up and nodded, taking a look at the two fish boxes.

The situation on the oxygenated side is very good, both the fish and crabs are very aggressive.

He reached out and poked the tank where the giant octopus was.

The big octopus was shocked!
He immediately started washing the fishing net and twisting his body, looking quite energetic.

After checking the condition of the fish, Chen Hui went into the cabin and went to sleep with peace of mind.

"We all go to sea together. Why is Chen Hui's life so easy? He always gets a good night's sleep."

When Wu Guang saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

I felt particularly overwhelmed during this trip.

There was a lot of work to do and everyone was busy, so he was too embarrassed to ask for a rest.

"He is different from us. We are fishermen, he..."

Wei Jianjun looked at the cabin and said, "I'm afraid this kid is not the child of Mazu."

"Don't dare to talk nonsense about this!"

"According to this statement, if you are not blessed enough and cannot bear it, your life span will be shortened." Wu Shuisheng said hurriedly.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! I was just talking nonsense." Wei Jianjun pretended to spit into the air a few times.

Wu Dahua drove the fishing boat, and Wu Guang and the other two took out all the fish that were caught in the net.

The harvest this time was very good, with more than ten baskets filled with fish, and two and a half baskets were full of high-priced fish.

After packing up the fishing nets, each of them ate a mooncake to fill their stomachs.

It was agreed that Wu Dahua would drive the fishing boat for a while longer.

Wu Shuisheng would go out to sleep for two or three hours and then come out to replace him, and Wei Jianjun would get up in the middle of the night to take over.

Taking care of Wu Guang after he recovered from a serious illness, he was allowed to sleep until dawn.

The three of them returned to the large bunk bed in the cabin while talking.

Suddenly Chen Hui screamed: "Ah!!!!"
