Chapter 647: The hooks are collected and the harvest is counted

"Oh my! This is definitely nothing compared to the rare big ones you usually catch."

"But considering the harvest of fishing boats, this is already very good."

"That's what my uncle just said."

An Wenyi thought Chen Hui thought the fish was too small, and smiled and comforted him.

"Wow! This fish is so pretty. What's its name?"

"Wenjing, come back soon, there's work for you."

The voices of An Wenyi and Wu Shuisheng came one after another.

"Brother Chen Hui, I don't want to chat with you anymore." An Wenjing said and hurried out.

I saw three spotted ones already on the deck.

I picked up the tools, poked holes in them one by one, and put them in the water tank to keep them.

"A big mullet has come up. This fish is delicious! It smells especially good when fried." Wu Shuisheng said as he untied the fish and threw it into the fish basket.

"Isn't it said to be delicious? Then why don't you grow it?" Chen Huihong didn't understand.

"This fish is delicious but not very expensive. If you use a fishing net, you can catch two or three baskets at a time."

"Take this back and have it with your dinner tonight," said Wu Shuisheng.

"Scarcity makes things valuable. Once there are too many things, they become worthless." An Wenjing echoed.

As they were talking, several more big bass and parrots were pulled up.

An Wenyi saw that the parrotfish was good-looking.

Catch them one by one and put them into the water tank to swim.

The final buoy was not far from the fishing boat.

Chen Huihong looked at it and said with emotion: "These three hundred hooks are almost done, can't we get some more valuable ones?"

"It's a good deal just to have those two red spots."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he pulled up three spotted fish and one white wax fish.

Finally, we harvested two parrots and two starfish, and this section of the net was completed.

He called Chen Hui to stop the fishing boat and pick up the fishing line in the basin.

A few fish hooks fell off.

Wu Shuisheng found the thread end and started to mend the hooks one by one.

Finally got a chance to join in the fun.

Chen Hui parked the fishing boat and came out, looking left and right curiously.

Pointing at the water tank, he asked, "Uncle, this is also a grouper, right? Look at the pattern."

"This one is spotted, and the meat is much more tender than tiger grouper."

"It's a pity that it's not very big. Normally it can only grow this big."

"If it can grow to one or two kilograms like tiger grouper, the price will definitely go up rapidly," said Wu Shuisheng.

Chen Hui took out one and looked at it carefully.

I remembered that I had seen this fish before, but only on the dining table.

"Don't look at it anymore. Go back and prepare to sail."

Wu Shuisheng fixed the hooks and put the basin in it.

He took out another empty basin to place the line and hang the fish hook.

Seeing that Chen Hui didn't want to go back, "Or you can try to pull the line? Wen Jing can do it by herself to release the air pressure on the fish."

"Okay, then I'll try it!" Chen Hui nodded.

He had never tried collecting hooks, but he thought it would be fun.

"Anyway, collecting the hooks is different from collecting the nets. You can stop at any time."

"If you can't tell the fish apart, just throw them all into the tank. If you can't figure anything out, call me."

Wu Shuisheng patted the edge of the basin and motioned Chen Hui to stand in his position.

He strode into the cab.

Control the fishing boat and head to the south of the island.

Chen Hui stood by the boat waiting and reached out to grab the buoy rod.

After pulling up the float, grab the fishing line and slowly pull it up.

Soon we saw a fish being pulled up from the depths of the sea.

The whole person suddenly became excited, pulling the line and shouting: "Fish! Fish!"

Wu Shuisheng controlled the speed and turned his head. Out of the corner of his eye he saw An Wenjing squatting down to release the air pressure on the fish.

He asked loudly, "Wenjing, what kind of fish is this?"

"It's Shi Jiugong, this one is quite big." An Wenjing asked. "I've never seen the world, but Shi Jiugong is so excited."

Wu Shuisheng smiled and continued to concentrate on controlling the fishing boat.

Chen Hui pulled the fishing line, yelling every now and then.

An Wenjing and Chen Huihong also cheered, and it sounded very lively.

Wu Shuisheng felt itchy after hearing this.

The second basin is used to collect the hooks and nets and stabilize the fishing boat.

I couldn't wait to come out and see it immediately.

There are seven or eight more spotted fish and several more red sea breams, the largest of which weighs more than three pounds.

The only ones left are the parrot and the big fragrant head.

"That's it? After hearing all the fuss you guys made, I thought you had gained a lot."

Wu Shuisheng was too tired to complain.

"We just caught four red snappers. We had much better luck than the first time!"

Chen Huihong refuted him unconvinced.

"How many?"

"Shijo!"

"Wow! That's really something to be happy about."

Wu Shuisheng nodded.

"Uncle, I found this to be very interesting!"

"No matter what kind of fish it is, when you see it being pulled out of the sea, your emotions boil over immediately."

"If it's a particularly large or valuable species, I'd be even happier."

Chen Hui immediately understood why some people were addicted to sea fishing.

It feels so good!

It feels even more exciting when you fish with three or four hundred hooks at the same time.

"Hahaha, this is just the beginning. After a few more times, you won't feel anything anymore."

As a person who has been through this, Wu Shuisheng understands Chen Hui's current situation very well.

I brought him a handful of hooks and taught him how to find the detached thread ends of the hooks and put new hooks on them.

"I found that the loss is no less than that of fishing nets," said Chen Hui.

There are more than 300 hooks, and seven or eight of them will come unglued at a time.

"This is easier to handle than a fishing net. At least I don't have to spend extra time mending it."

"The money I've earned from hiring someone to mend the fishing nets is enough to mend the hooks."

"But the harvest is nothing compared to fishing nets."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he put the processed hooks over.

He brought an empty basin over and handed it to Chen Hui, "I'll leave the collection of hooks to you."

"Great! This is more interesting than sailing."

Chen Hui took the basin and said excitedly.

In the last basin of hooks, we harvested three sea red groupers, seven or eight spotted groupers, and more than a dozen red sea breams and white wax fish.

The rest are the Parrot Stone Nine Gong and the like.

There isn't much in the tank today.

A large crab, and some oysters that don't require much oxygen.

Chen Hui replaced the water tank with a larger one and added sea water into it.

Take out all the red snappers from the seawater basket and transfer them to the water tank for breeding.

"I was really lucky this time. I actually caught nine sea breams."

"Except for one smaller one, which weighs only about half a pound, the others weigh one or two pounds, and two weigh more than three pounds."

"With just these few fish, I have gone to the sea several times to catch them."

"The last time we harvested so much was when Huang Xiulian's grandson was one month old."

Looking at the energetic sea urchin, Chen Hui felt very happy.

"Brother Chen Hui, who should we sell these fish to?"

"Uncle Yaozu's price will be lower. If I sell it to Sister Xiulian and the others, I don't know if it will work unless I catch it myself."

"Sister Xiulian doesn't eat fish caught with a fishing net, but this wasn't caught with a fishing net!"

An Wenjing said thoughtfully.
