Chapter 622 Harvesting Two Horned Snails
"Okay, then we'll have seafood noodles."
"I'll wash my face, then go down and get some seafood."
Chen Hui said this and took the towel and went aside.
Fishermen may not bring a toothbrush when going out to sea, but they will definitely bring a towel.
When you feel sleepy or tired, rub your face with cold water and you will feel better.
After going out to sea for a long time, Chen Hui gradually got in sync.
"Since we're going to eat seafood noodles, let's have something else to fill our stomachs first."
Wu Shuisheng laughed and took out two mooncakes to share.
No need to explain further this time, everyone understands.
"Human beings are really strange. I'm scared when I only have light cakes to eat."
"Knowing that there will be seafood noodles later, I only ate half to fill my stomach, and I felt it was okay."
Wei Jianjun took the half cake handed to him and said with a smile.
"Before I went out to sea, this was my favorite food."
"At that time, we didn't even have rice to eat. We only had sweet potato rice. We were so happy to have a plain pancake."
"Later, I ate this every time I went out to sea, and it was the only thing I had. I was so scared of eating it."
As Wu Guang gets older, his teeth are getting worse.
When eating the cake, you can only bite a small corner at a time.
"The guang bing is very delicious! Do you have more guang bing?"
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll show you my skills and help Guangbing turn the tables."
As he spoke, only a small piece of the mooncake was left in Chen Hui's hand.
Just stuff the cake into your mouth.
He checked the net bag he was going to take with him again and grabbed a handful of cut hemp rope and stuffed it into his pocket.
Take off your shirt and put on your gloves.
"Are you going to catch crabs?" Wu Shuisheng asked curiously when he saw him making preparations.
"Yes, for the guests we'll entertain the day after tomorrow."
"I don't feel any psychological burden when I go out to sea this time! No matter what I find, I can use it when I return."
“It would be best if we can catch something valuable, but if we can’t, we won’t feel like our trip wasted.
Chen Hui swallowed the cake in his mouth.
Walk to the fishing boat and put out the ladder and rope.
Go down the ladder.
"You better be careful. If you need help, come back and call. Don't force yourself." Wu Shuisheng came out and instructed.
"Got it! I won't be polite with you."
Chen Hui said this, waved his hand and dived into the water.
"Old Wu, do you have any tea? Give me some."
Wei Jianjun felt the biscuit was a bit dry after eating it, so he took out a bowl and asked.
"In the pot, pour it yourself."
"I'll have to bring more next time I go out to sea. Chen Hui will no longer be without someone to cook for us." Wu Shuisheng sighed.
"How come a good kid made so much money that he bought a fishing boat?"
"Old Wu, are there any other nephews on Huihong's side?" Wu Guang also asked.
"Yes, there are, but you probably don't want to meet them."
Wu Shuisheng shook his head.
After Wei Jianjun poured the water, he took the pot and took a sip.
"Speaking of which, Chen Hui bought a new fishing boat. Should we give him something?" Wei Jianjun asked.
"Yeah! That's right!"
"When the house was being built, we at least helped out for half a day, so it's okay if you don't send us off."
"We don't know how to build a ship, so we still have to send things." Wu Guang nodded.
The three of them drank tea, waited for Chen Hui's seafood noodles, and talked about what to buy for him when the time came.
The fishing boats will not collect their nets until evening.
After breakfast and lunch, there was plenty of time to explore the sea. Chen Hui was not in a hurry to swim further.
I sensed it, but didn't find any big stuff.
After circling on the water, he stretched his limbs and swam towards the depths of the sea with peace of mind.
First, I found some shellfish and conchs in the sand and gravel pile.
Catch any shrimps passing by and put them into a small net bag.
Then he swam slowly, observing the seabed and the reef walls to see if he could find anything good.
After all, some things are not big and will not bring particularly strong sensations, but they are very valuable.
"When can this golden finger be upgraded? The strength of the induction will be determined according to the market price."
Chen Hui complained in his heart.
At a glance, I saw a crab quickly rushing forward with its body sideways, and it immediately grabbed a smaller shrimp and started eating it.
"Hey, blue crab! Haven't seen it for a long time."
Chen Hui opened another net bag.
He took out a piece of hemp rope from his pocket and bit it with his teeth.
He waited patiently until the blue crab had finished eating his prey before pinning him down.
Tie the two large pliers together with a hemp rope and put them into a medium-sized net bag.
When the blue crab struggled, it raised a lot of sand and gravel from the seabed.
Between the two reefs, a pointed corner was revealed at a location that was originally covered by sand and gravel on the seabed.
This corner is very sharp, and there are many small sharp corners on the spiral.
Chen Hui carefully moved away some of the surrounding sand and gravel, then picked up the conch and observed it.
It’s a really big horned snail, it looks like it weighs three or four pounds.
Such large snail meat tastes great whether used for porridge, stir-frying or chicken soup.
Chen Hui put the snail into the net bag, searched nearby for a while, and found another one of similar size.
There are two screws.
It was a grand occasion for Huang Shuqing and Huang Guangdian to come for dinner.
Chen Hui placed the snail in place and continued to explore the surroundings, catching some small fish and shrimps.
After catching a dozen shrimps, three or four mantis shrimps, and a tender and boneless bull tongue fish, he picked a handful of seaweed.
Returned to the fishing boat with a full harvest.
"Do you need oxygen?" Wei Jianjun asked immediately after seeing Chen Hui get on the boat.
"Yes, we don't need much seawater now, just raising two snails."
As Chen Hui spoke, he handed the seafood he was going to eat to Wu Shuisheng to deal with.
Put the blue crabs and horned snails in the medium-sized net bag into the water tank.
"Wow! What a big snail."
"Wow, such a big snail? This one can be sold for twenty yuan, right?" Wei Jianjun said.
"Isn't it normal for him to get something big? I'm not even interested in watching it."
This is what Wu Guang said.
But the body was very honest and put down the seafood it was processing and came over.
He fished out the snail and weighed it. "It must be four pounds. It's so big that even if I sell the shell, I can get a good price."
"Is there anyone who buys snail shells?" Chen Hui was a little surprised.
"Yes, someone bought it at the purchasing point."
"One this big can be sold for several dollars." Wu Guang said as he put the snail back into the water tank.
How much?
Chen Hui lost interest and nodded in agreement, "That's good too."
"Chen Hui, you haven't bought the separate generator and oxygen generator for your newly bought fishing boat yet, right?"
"If you haven't bought it, then don't buy it. We will buy it for you."
"We will also buy you a few matching water tanks." Wei Jianjun asked.
Wu Guang also nodded beside him.
The oxygenation equipment and water tanks are okay, but the diesel generators are not cheap.
Chen Hui made up an answer off the cuff: "I have already bought the generator, but I haven't bought the oxygen pump and water tank yet."
