Chapter 735: Small but Valuable
"Fashionable, huh?!"
Chen Hui smiled proudly.
He hung the bath towel on the side of the fishing boat, did some warm-up, and then jumped off the boat with a plop.
The moment I hit the water, I felt my whole body relax.
"Chen Hui, why don't you go down the ladder?" Wu Shuisheng ran to the fishing boat and asked.
"It's still a few steps colder going down the ladder, it's faster to just jump down."
Chen Hui spoke loudly upwards.
"Then how are you going to get up here?" Wu Shuisheng asked.
"Uh"
I haven't really thought about this question just now.
"If he can jump down, he can definitely jump up."
Wu Guang came over and joked about watching the fun.
Wu Shuisheng shook his head helplessly and let the ladder down for him.
He then said, "The sea water is very cold, come back early."
"Don't worry, the sea water is not cold at all!"
Chen Hui waved his hand, turned around and swam deeper into the water.
A group of small fish swam past Chen Hui.
There are so many fish like this in the sea.
Chen Hui didn't notice them at all. He sensed his surroundings and his eyes immediately lit up.
It’s hard to say whether there are good things in the open sea, but there are definitely big things.
Chen Hui was about to swim in the direction he sensed.
The small fish chased each other and turned back, circling in front of Chen Hui again.
The tail fin of a small fish swept past Chen Hui and almost hit his eyes.
"That's too much! How can you cook fish like this?"
Chen Hui complained in his heart and looked at the small fish carefully.
Not only does it become more beautiful the more you look at it, it also looks more familiar.
The big fish will not run away, and even if it does, Chen Hui is confident that he can sense it.
It’s these little guys.
There are so many fish in the sea that are bigger than them that they cannot be sensed when they swim away.
Chen Hui decided to look for the bulk cargo later.
Follow these small ones from a distance and observe the various details on their bodies.
The fish is orange-red in color overall.
There are five or six light pink vertical stripes on the body, and a little black on the edge of the dorsal fin.
A big, flat, wide mouth.
The most obvious thing is a pair of big eyes that are bigger than those of KISS ME.
When you look around, it's dripping and flowing, and it looks so cute.
It is obvious that this is the red rosella, which is small in size but as valuable as the three knives.
The meat of this fish is very delicious.
Use clear chicken broth or bone broth to stew the whole fish.
It tastes fresh, tender and even has a slight aftertaste in the mouth.
The only drawback is probably that it really can't grow up.
Generally, what you can buy only weighs a few taels, and half a pound is rare.
Although he heard that it could grow up to two kilograms, Chen Hui had never seen one that big.
The ones he's targeting now weigh only about three or four taels each.
County Magistrate Xu said he wanted to invite a few friends to dinner, but he didn't say how many.
There are seven or eight of them here.
One cup per person is probably enough.
"Hey, kids, if you mess with me, you're in trouble."
Chen Hui took out a smaller net bag from the combined net bags and spread it out.
The problem now is how to catch them all.
Red Rose is alert.
There is only one chance. If one or two run away, it will be difficult to find the one or two left behind.
The opening of the small-sized net bag is still a little small.
Chen Hui gently took it back and changed to a medium-sized net bag to spread it out.
Sneaking behind these beautiful little fishes.
The red rosettes formed small groups and swam around leisurely, completely unaware that anyone was watching them.
A wave came over. The red roses seemed to be startled, and suddenly they all turned around and swam backwards.
Chen Hui, who had been waiting for an opportunity, reacted immediately.
He swam towards the school of fish and quickly tightened the net bag.
The whole process took less than five seconds.
Chen Hui held the net bag, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Reach out and squeeze it gently.
It’s not a dream, there are really fish in it!
In less than five minutes, one or two hundred yuan was already in the net bag.
Isn’t this too smooth?
Chen Hui happily swam back with the net bag.
First, he tied the net bag to the rope beside the fishing boat, and then knocked on the fishing boat with the ladder.
"Is it really you?! Why are you here so quickly today?!" Wu Shuisheng leaned his head out and asked.
"Hehe, when people are lucky, they are very fast."
Chen Hui boasted in a low voice.
He looked up and shouted loudly towards the top of the fishing boat:
"There are a few small fish in here. Please help me raise them first. Make sure to give them oxygen. They are very valuable!"
"understood!"
Wu Shuisheng responded by picking up the bucket beside the fishing boat and throwing it down.
Chen Hui dodged to the side swiftly.
He shouted towards the fishing boat: "Uncle, did you do this on purpose?!"
"What do you mean by intentional? You're still so far away from me!"
"The porridge is almost ready, go get some seafood." Wu Shuisheng said loudly.
Hey!
I almost forgot about this.
Chen Hui sensed the surroundings again and found that the big fish had not moved out of the pit yet.
He then shouted towards the fishing boat: "I'm going to catch them now, you guys take care of them first and I'll come back to cook them."
"I want to eat crabs!" Wu Shuisheng said loudly.
"Got it!" Chen Hui said, and swam towards the bottom of the sea again.
Several people sat around the charcoal stove heating water.
Wu Guang asked in confusion: "Didn't you rarely eat crabs before? Why do you suddenly want to eat crabs today?"
"In the past, we always caught everything in one go."
"The big ones are sold, the small ones are put away, and the ones left are neither too big nor too small, and there is not much meat, so it doesn't matter whether we eat them or not."
"Chen Hui caught dozens of good-sized ones last time and kept them at my house with oxygen."
"It's bubbling right under my nose every day. I get a little greedy after watching it for a long time."
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he poured the sea water he had drawn up into the bucket with a splash.
Picking up the bucket, he fetched several more buckets of water.
The diesel generator generates electricity, the oxygenator is put in and debugged.
I rubbed my hands and went to the fishing boat with great anticipation.
"If you can't pull it up, shout." Wei Jianjun said.
Wu Shuisheng gathered all his strength, grabbed the rope and pulled hard, "Huh?!"
"What's wrong? Can't pull it?" Wu Guang asked.
"No, it's very light! Could the net have loosened and run away?"
Wu Shuisheng quickly sped up and pulled the things onto the fishing boat to take a look.
Several people also put down their cups and gathered around to watch curiously.
Chen Hui tied the net bag tightly, and it took him some effort to untie it.
"What? This little?"
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he submerged the entire net bag into the water tank.
Pull the drawstring and slowly release all the fish inside.
"This little fish is quite pretty, isn't it? What kind of fish is it?" Wu Dahua had never seen one before.
"Black-edged grouper!"
"Although this thing is small, the price is not low."
Wu Guang caught a fish and introduced the characteristics of the red rosette to Wu Dahua.
This is what his master taught him before, and knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation in this way.
Several people chatted around the water tank for a while.
I was just about to sit back down by the charcoal stove to continue warming myself.
bang bang bang!
There was another knocking sound from the bottom of the fishing boat.
