Chapter 624 Caught a Shark
After swimming forward for more than ten minutes, Chen Hui turned back and swam back more than ten meters.
After determining the approximate area, he swam deeper while observing the surroundings.
This time it went well.
As soon as I swam to the bottom of the sea, I saw the thing that attracted me all the way here.
Chen Hui was above it, observing it in circles.
A shark.
A little shark!
This tiger shark looks to be about 15 or 16 kilograms, which is not a small weight for an ordinary fish.
But among sharks, it is indeed a small guy.
"I've been back for so long, but this is the first time I've encountered a shark that's both tasty and easy to catch."
"Meeting is fate. The sea water is too cold. You should come home with me."
Chen Hui took out a large net bag and spread it out.
Carefully avoiding the sharp spines on the tiger shark's dorsal fin, it didn't take much effort to catch it in the net bag.
The gaps in the net bag are quite large, and the spikes are likely to stick out of the gaps.
Chen Hui sensed that there was nothing else around that could particularly attract him.
Raise your arms horizontally, keep the net bag at a certain distance from your body, and swim back to the fishing boat while holding the net bag.
After knocking on the fishing boat a few times with the ladder, three heads soon popped up on it.
"You're finally back? Why did you take so long this time?"
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he pulled up one rope.
Untie the things tied on it and throw the rope down again.
Chen Hui tied up the net bag containing the tiger shark, climbed up the ladder and asked casually, "How long have I been down there?"
"It's been at least three or four hours. Our rice is already cooked. If you come back a little later you can eat directly." Wu Shuisheng said.
"So long? It really takes more time to find small things in the sea."
Chen Hui didn't rush to look at his watch.
First, put the entire net bag containing the hospitality items into the water tank.
Add two large buckets of sea water to the tank.
After Wu Shuisheng pulled up the last large net bag, he took the net bag to the water tank and put the tiger shark inside into it.
Watching Chen Hui’s harvest after going out to sea has become one of the pleasures of their sea trips.
The three of them came over in tacit understanding.
After seeing clearly what Chen Hui had released, Wu Guangxian said in surprise: "Chen Hui, you caught a shark?"
"Is it a dogfish shark? It looks like a dogfish shark."
"I think it's a dog shark? I saw someone selling dog sharks at the dock, and it looked like this."
Wu Guang is older than the other two and has more experience at sea.
He laughed and said proudly, "It's obvious that you two don't know anything about this business. This is called a tiger shark, and it can be sold for a very good price!"
"Don't tell me, this pattern does look a bit like the pattern on a tiger's body."
I have seen a lot of sea fish, and even small sharks have only been seen a few times over the years.
The three of them gathered together for some fun.
Some were fanning the fire, some were washing the seafood, and then they went on to prepare food.
Although most of the time when they were out, Chen Hui was responsible for food and drink.
But it's not necessary for him to come back and do this job.
"Ah! I didn't feel much when I was swimming in the sea, but when I got back to the fishing boat, my limbs suddenly felt weak."
After raising all the seafood, Chen Hui shook his arms.
He took out the kettle from the cloth bag and drank half of it first.
"You don't even know how long you've been gone."
"Let alone other things, you will not be able to bear rheumatism when you get older," said Wu Shuisheng.
"That's right! Good health is the most important thing."
The harvest from this voyage has been quite good.
Chen Hui decided to take a break in the afternoon and do nothing but rest on the fishing boat.
Following Wu Shuisheng's words, he went back to the cabin, took off his wet underwear and changed into a dry pair.
I came out, put on my clothes and pants, put on my watch and checked the time.
It was just after nine o'clock when I went there, and now it's just after one o'clock in the afternoon.
No wonder Wu Shuisheng starts muttering whenever he sees someone.
If this had happened in the past, people would have probably cursed at him.
"Uncle, let me cook."
"By the way, I noticed that you are treating me a little better now than before. You didn't even scold me today."
As Chen Hui spoke, he took the fan from Wu Shuisheng.
Let him sit aside and rest.
"What's the point of scolding you? Are you afraid of being scolded?"
"You are so old now, it's time for you to be sensible."
Wu Shuisheng hadn't thought of getting angry yet.
I was a little unhappy when Chen Hui reminded me of this.
He handed the fan to Chen Hui and snorted through his nose.
"Haha, hehe!" Chen Hui smiled awkwardly.
The fan in his hand whirred.
When the rice is cooked, remove the aluminum pot from the charcoal stove.
Chen Hui processed the seafood he brought back and cooked a braised seafood chowder.
I used the ox tongue fish I caught in the morning and added pickles to make soup.
A simple lunch was finished.
Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to the cabin to catch up on their sleep.
"Uncle, you should go to bed too. You have to stay up late tonight," said Chen Hui.
Wu Shuisheng looked around the cabin.
I got up early in the morning and now I feel a little sleepy.
"Then I'm going to sleep. You watch over the fishing boat and don't run around."
"understood."
"Come and call me if you want to go to the sea. Don't go secretly. There must be someone watching on the fishing boat."
"I know, I know. Look, I've changed my clothes and pants. I won't go down today. I'll take a rest in the afternoon."
Wu Shuisheng looked Chen Hui up and down.
It seems that he is not talking nonsense.
He told Chen Hui to wake him up at 4:30 and went into the cabin yawning.
Chen Hui simply washed the pots, pans, and utensils with water.
It seems that the charcoal I brought is enough, and there is still some tea left from the previous meal.
Add some fire and light up the charcoal stove.
I boiled half a pot of water and made myself a cup of hot tea.
"It would be nice if I had a cell phone. Such a beautiful sea view would be perfect for taking photos."
"It's even more relaxing to drink tea and watch short videos."
Chen Hui muttered to himself, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking hot tea, and enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
After drinking tea and resting for a while, Chen Hui felt a little bored.
He got up and went to the place where the sundries were placed, found a small hammer, and took a plate.
He walked to the other side of the fishing boat and grabbed a large number of conches that he had brought back from the sea from the basket.
Crack the conch into pieces, take out the meat and place it on a plate.
After clanging half a plate of snail meat.
Chen Hui found a flat-blade screwdriver and pried out the meat of various shells in the basket one by one.
After processing the conches and various clams, it seems like time is about up.
He first called Wu Shuisheng to get up, then returned to his previous position, took out the abalone from the basket and continued to tinker with it.
"Chen Hui, what are you doing? I was half asleep and I just heard you banging away."
Wu Shuisheng yawned and drank some cold tea from the kettle.
"I'm going to make something great that you've never seen before!"
