Chapter 725: The harvest is quite good, and we will go out to sea together

"Okay! Let's go back and collect the hooks."

Chen Hui put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched, stood up and shook his legs.

"I'm full too. It turns out that going out to sea is so enjoyable."

“No wonder the people in Dasha Village who have some means all become fishermen.”

Chen Xiaoqiao also put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with his hand.

“Normal fishermen don’t have such a good life!”

"When we go out to sea, we only eat rice porridge, flatbread and water, and at most eat some seafood caught by the net that is not easy to sell."

"Last time Chen Hui didn't go, the four of us ate all the cakes until we almost vomited. We would rather go home hungry and eat later."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he collected all the seafood shells.

Take it to the fishing boat and pour it out.

I fetched a bucket of sea water and simply rinsed the pots and bowls.

He fetched some water and washed his hands.

He shook the sea water off his hands and walked towards the cab.

"Uncle, let me drive the boat."

"There weren't that many people to help today, and I wasn't fast enough to fix the hooks."

Chen Hui called out to the people and said.

"Okay! Then you drive the boat."

"Control the rhythm, it can be a little slower than when you put the hook down."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he went to the other side and brought back a few large baskets.

Arrange the baskets from large to small in a semi circle in the cabin.

Wu Shuisheng also picked up all the small baskets that had been used to place the hooks.

Chen Hui drove the fishing boat forward for a while, then turned around and headed back following a wave of water.

Slow down and slowly control the fishing boat towards the buoy.

The bow of the boat passed by the buoy, and Wu Shuisheng, who was waiting beside the fishing boat, immediately grabbed the bamboo of the buoy.

"Not bad, the fishing boats have been well controlled recently."

Wu Shuisheng praised and started to pull up the buoy.

The five or six hooks in front were all empty, which made him doubt his life.

"Brother Shuisheng, here come the fishes!"

Finally a fish was caught, and Chen Xiaoqiao, who was standing aside, was also very excited.

Wu Shuisheng pulled the fish up and threw it into the farthest fish basket.

The fish was in the basket, jumping up and down, flicking its tail.

The fish baskets specially used for fishing at sea are all elevated, and this fish is not very big, so it cannot jump out at all.

"Brother Shuisheng, this fish is not valuable?"

When Chen Xiaoqiao saw him throwing the fish, he showed no intention of being careful at all.

"This fish is reasonably priced, but it's not very big."

"The one just now weighed about 70-80 taels, which is considered big. Normally, it weighs half a pound."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he threw two more fish into the basket.

Chen Xiaoqiao ran over to take a look.

The last two are obviously one size smaller.

"Brother Shuisheng, that's not your hand? It's a scale, right?" Chen Xiaoqiao said in admiration.

"After catching a lot of fish, you first look at the size, and then once you pick one up, you'll have an idea of ​​its approximate weight."

"Pick up the whole basket and weigh it."

"You can figure out how heavy the basket is and how heavy the fish are."

"There are purchase points at the docks now, and most of the fish are bought and sold by my relatives, so it doesn't matter if I make a wrong estimate."

"In the past, people from other places would come to collect the goods, and they would let you buy dozens of kilograms of goods by mistake."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he threw fish into the other two baskets.

"Brother Shuisheng, can you tell me about what happened when you first went into the sea?"

Chen Xiaoqiao is very interested in all kinds of trivial gossip.

He took a water tank, turned it over and used it as a stool, then sat down next to Wu Shuisheng.

Chen Hui didn't like to hear these things.

Finally someone who loves to gossip comes.

While Wu Shuisheng was cooking the fish, he started chatting with Chen Xiaoqiao.

All the hooks are put away.

Wu Shuisheng called on Chen Hui to drive the fishing boat faster.

After packing up my things, I saw that there was still a lot of charcoal left.

I lit the charcoal stove, made some hot tea, and continued chatting with Chen Xiaoqiao.

Chen Hui was driving the fishing boat and listened to the conversation along the way. He came out of the cab and asked, "You've been drinking all afternoon. Do you have any tea for me?"

"I'll pour you a glass!"

Wu Shuisheng brought a small cup, poured some tea and handed it to him.

"Why did you run out here instead of driving the fishing boat properly?" Chen Xiaoqiao asked jokingly.

"We're almost at the port, but there are too many fishing boats ahead. We'll probably have to wait a while."

Chen Hui raised his chin and pointed forward, then drank the tea.

I looked at the baskets around me.

This time the harvest was much greater than last time, with several baskets filled with fish.

Chen Hui looked at the water tank again and found that there were not many fish in it.

The total amount of harvest this time is large, but unfortunately there are not many expensive ones, and I don’t know how much it can be sold for in the end.

"We're here?! So soon!?"

Chen Xiaoqiao stood up happily and looked back.

Looking at the village, fishing boats and dock in the distance, I inexplicably feel a sense of familiarity.

"It's weird. I went there in the morning and came back in the afternoon, but it felt like I was gone for a long time."

“I couldn’t help but feel a little excited when I saw Dasa Village.”

Chen Xiaoqiao said in confusion.

A fishing boat slowly moved in from the other side and headed towards the port.

"Oh my god! Add me in?!"

Wu Shuisheng cursed and looked at the situation on the other side of the boat.

"Chen Hui, you still need to practice this technique!"

"There's no need to wait in this situation. We can get in just by squeezing in. If we wait any longer, the tide will recede."

Wu Shuisheng walked into the cab.

He controlled the fishing boat to move flexibly among several fishing boats, and soon it stopped steadily at the dock.

"Brother Shuisheng, those people behind you seem to be scolding you?"

Chen Xiaoqiao heard it with sharp ears and shouted towards the cab.

"Don't worry about them, they are just jealous of my skills."

Wu Shuisheng didn't take it to heart at all.

He came out of the cab with a smile and called Chen Hui to help move the fish basket down.

"Uncle Shuisheng, Chen Hui!"

A familiar voice came from the dock.

Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng looked together and saw Wu Dahua and Wei Jianjun walking towards them.

"Why are you two here together?"

"Could it be that he came here specially to help move things?"

Wu Shuisheng asked them before going out to sea this time.

In the end, both of them said they were busy, so he and Chen Hui went out to sea alone.

"I came here to buy something, and I just happened to run into Dahua."

Wei Jianjun got on the fishing boat as he spoke.

“This is a pretty good harvest!”

Wu Dahua also came to watch.

I was so envious of the big and small baskets of catch on the fishing boats.

Xiang Chen Hui asked: "When are we going to go out to sea next time? We want to go too."

"Are you going the day after tomorrow?" Chen Hui asked.

Chen Hui planned to sell the dog shark to Gongsun Hai.

As a result, today's harvest is only a few dozen crabs.

Although the quantity is large, we just use ordinary crabs as the main dish for the county magistrate’s private banquet.

Chen Hui still felt that something was missing.

"Not going tomorrow?"

"I just ran into Wu Guang, and he also asked me if I wanted to go the day after tomorrow."

Wei Jianjun said in a dilemma.

"Then I'll go with my fishing boat next time, and I'll go with your fishing boat the day after tomorrow."

"It's been a while since I went out to sea with you guys."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he found that he was quite looking forward to going out to sea with them.

The farther you go, the greater the chance of getting good stuff.

The most important thing is that you don’t have to do any work when you go with them.
