Chapter 722: Whatever you wish for will come true. Could it really be the Dragon King?
"Chen Hui, what's in here?"
"It's been jumping around since you came up."
Bored Chen Xiaoqiao had been paying attention to the small fishing net that Chen Hui brought back for a long time.
Seeing that they had finished their work, he pointed and asked.
"That's what we caught for lunch. Kill it and clean it first. I'll go down to the sea and cook it when I come back."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he took out a small net bag from the place where miscellaneous items were placed.
Put it into the medium-sized net bag to make a new three-piece set of large, medium and small.
There are a lot of crabs in this area.
Although they are all of average price in the market, they are all of large size.
Take it home and cook spicy crab, crab meat pot, or pan-fried crab, which are also very fragrant.
Chen Hui cut a small bunch of hemp rope and tied them all together to be used to tie the crab claws later.
Chen Xiaoqiao opened the small net bag.
Holding the mantis shrimp, he exclaimed: "This mantis shrimp is too big, isn't it? It's longer than my hand!"
Seeing that he looked naive, Wu Shuisheng went over to take a look out of curiosity.
He immediately asked Chen Hui, "Sell this at the state-owned restaurant? The price Yaozu gave is not bad for such a big one."
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, have you ever eaten shrimps this big?" Chen Hui asked.
Chen Xiaoqiao shook his head.
"Uncle, have you ever eaten it?"
Wu Shuisheng also shook his head.
"Then keep it and eat it! Don't we deserve to eat something good?"
"With just these few, they can't be sold for more than a few dollars," said Chen Hui.
After packing up all my things, I prepared to go to the cabin and change into the wet shorts.
"Eat it if you want. I've been selling it for so many years, but I've never eaten it once."
Wu Shuisheng quickly accepted Chen Hui's statement.
He raised his arm in a somewhat exaggerated manner.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, he said:
"It's already past ten o'clock. How about we cook lunch first and then go?"
"I'll put you in the sea, and I don't know how many hours it will take for you to come back."
Chen Xiaoqiao was stunned by this. "Who can stay in the sea for several hours? I'm not a fish."
"Him! The longest time he was gone was nearly five hours."
"I used his watch to check the time! I didn't estimate it by looking at the sky."
Wu Shuisheng pointed to his watch and said.
"Eh?! Uncle, did you buy a watch?"
With so many big moves, it was hard for Chen Hui not to notice them.
"Yeah! Not second-hand, new stuff!"
"The last time I came back from the sea, I went to the county town to ask Ah Hai to take me to buy it."
"We had to pass by a department store on the way to the second-hand store, so we thought we'd go in and take a look. Unexpectedly, we found new goods!"
Wu Shuisheng got very excited when talking about this, and he couldn't stop talking once he started.
Even the girl who bought the watch, who was about 17 or 18 years old, said that Wu Dianhai looked very similar to herself, and he mentioned these details.
By the time he finished speaking, Chen Hui had already changed his clothes and came out of the cabin.
I leaned over to take a look.
I said with envy: "This new watch is so beautiful!"
"Hey! Don't tell me, that's right!"
"I was originally planning to buy second-hand, but saw this."
Wu Shuisheng was about to stop talking about the topic, but Chen Hui picked it up again after hearing what he said.
"Uncle, you and Uncle Xiaoqiao kill the seafood first. I'll be back in half an hour."
"Watches nowadays are not waterproof, so please be careful!"
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he walked down the ladder holding various tools.
A sea breeze blew by!
Chen Hui himself didn't expect that it would not be a big problem to go into the sea when the weather was cold.
The process of getting on and off the fishing boat was actually quite a challenge. I walked down a few steps and jumped directly into the warm sea water.
The deeper you swim into the sea, the warmer it feels.
After swimming all the way to the bottom of the sea, Chen Hui immediately felt that there was something slightly different around him.
“There’s good stuff!”
Chen Hui immediately became alert, turned back according to his own feeling, and swam towards the direction where the fishing boat was coming.
On the way, I saw a row of hooks with a small shrimp hanging on it, floating lightly on a reef.
The shrimp happened to fall into the uneven gap between two reefs.
A fish wanted to eat shrimp but couldn't get any, so it circled around the reef anxiously.
Chen Hui swam over and helped get the shrimp out of the cracks in the reef.
Then swim farther away, and only swim away with peace of mind after seeing that the fish has gotten what it wants.
After swimming forward for a few minutes, Chen Hui felt that he was nearby, so he swam a long circle around the large reef nearby.
I didn't see any big stuff worth sensing.
Then, among the scattered large and small reefs, I saw a fish that looked familiar.
"Oh my god?! Am I not actually a fisherman, but really the Dragon King?"
Chen Hui fell into deep thought as he looked at the dog shark lying on the seabed.
Judging from the size, this dog shark and the tiger shark last time should be about two or three pounds different in size.
I don’t know what the current market situation is like.
According to the market conditions that Chen Hui knows, tiger sharks are slightly more expensive than dog sharks.
Chen Hui sells fish at a fixed price.
Adding the weight difference into the price, it's not a loss at all.
Chen Hui stared at it for a while.
The dog shark seemed to sense his overly hot gaze and swam away, wagging its tail.
Chen Hui was not in a hurry either.
He took out a medium-sized net bag and spread it out, then followed slowly.
It's not easy to see where the dog shark stops.
Chen Hui even poked it gently with his toes to drive it away.
This is a reef area. Chen Hui chased the dog shark several times before he drove it to a relatively open place.
Pick up the net bag and dive down.
From the head to the tail, the entire dog shark was engulfed in one go.
By the time the dog shark reacted and twisted its body to struggle, Chen Hui had already pulled the drawstring and made the connections.
Two hundred bucks in hand!
It’s better to go out to sea, hunting is not so stable!
There is less farm work in autumn and winter, so villagers will run to the mountains when they have nothing to do.
Not to mention large prey in the mountains, pheasants, rabbits and even bamboo rats will all be caught.
Even if you have a golden finger, you can't resist the fact that there is really nothing in the mountains.
Chen Hui was lost in thought as he took the dog shark back to the fishing boat.
He tied the net bag to the fishing boat, grabbed the ladder and knocked on the boat hard.
"Chen Hui, what did you catch?" Wu Shuisheng quickly stuck his head out and asked.
"A shark!"
"Uncle, please get some seawater first and turn on the oxygen pump to keep him alive."
Chen Hui shouted loudly, cupping his hands.
"Why aren't you back yet? You've been down there for almost an hour."
"We have to wait a while after lunch before we can collect the hooks. Let's go then!" Wu Shuisheng asked.
Wu Shuisheng didn't even need to shout on the fishing boat; if he spoke a little louder, everyone could hear him clearly.
Chen Hui couldn't help but mutter, "What a loud voice, what great lung capacity!"
Then he cupped his hands into trumpets and shouted upwards, "I'll just take a look and be right back!"
"What is it? It's worth a special visit."
"Hurry up then! Don't stay too long, the water will still be cold!"
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he threw down a bucket to fetch water.
