Chapter 740 When has Brother Xu ever been vague about giving money?
Cool! So cool!
The feeling of hanging up the phone at the perfect moment made Chen Hui feel very comfortable.
After paying the money, he distributed cigarettes to the village staff.
Walk out of the village with Wu Shuisheng.
"What did Yaozu say?" Wu Shuisheng asked.
"He asked me to wait for them. I don't know what he was doing, but he sounded happier than me." Chen Hui said.
"They? Who are they?" Wu Shuisheng wondered.
Chen Hui shook his head. "I don't know. It could be him and Tang Yuqiong."
Wu Shuisheng looked puzzled.
Chen Hui explained: "Tang Yuqiong is his mistress, the one in the hotel."
"Oh, that one."
"She's actually quite pretty, and seems to be quite capable of handling things."
"It's just a pity. Instead of being someone's mistress, why don't you find an honest man to remarry?"
Wu Shuisheng was quite emotional.
"Uncle, please let the honest man go."
"He's just being honest, he's not breaking any laws." Chen Hui said sarcastically.
The two men returned to the dock.
Anyway, we have to wait for Chen Yaozu.
Chen Hui helped to pack up the miscellaneous items on the fishing boat.
I found two baskets and put the fishing nets used this time into each.
Wu Guang took half of it home to give to Liu Yuzhu.
Wu Shuisheng took half of it back to give to Chen Huihong.
"If my eldest aunt doesn't mend the fishing nets anymore, what will happen if Aunt Yuzhu can't finish mending all these?"
Chen Hui asked while looking at the basket.
"There are women in the village who specialize in making fishing nets. Just pay them."
"What's wrong with Huihong? Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Wu Guang calculated the expenses of this voyage, stopped what he was doing and asked.
Wu Shuisheng was about to speak.
Chen Hui said: "I am old and my eyesight is not good."
"Hey! People really can't stand getting old!"
Wu Guang is the oldest among them.
He sighed, feeling deeply moved.
After calculating the expenses for this trip to the sea, several people shared the money.
Then I heard two sharp "beep!" sounds coming from the main road in the distance.
Several people looked in the direction of the horn.
Chen Yaozu drove a small truck over, waved at Chen Hui and shouted, "Chen Hui! We are coming!"
He parked the car aside, opened the door and got out.
The door on the other side also opened, and a man got out and walked over.
Chen Hui felt somewhat familiar.
After thinking about it, isn’t this Li Xu?
Chen Yaozu is the trouble-making customer who calls him "Brother Xu".
"Little brother, I heard you got a big deal!"
"I just happened to be with Yaozu, so I came over to take a look."
Li Xu strode over and spoke in a very intimate tone.
"I told Brother Xu before that you went to the sea to catch fish yourself, but he refused to believe me."
"Today, he heard that you were still soaking fish in the sea water, so he insisted on coming along."
Chen Yaozu said.
"Let me see. If this fish is good, I'll take it directly."
"Guaranteed to give you a surprise price!"
Li Xu waved his hand very casually.
Can't tell why.
Chen Hui always felt that he was a stupid and rich man.
"Look, the fish is still in there!"
"This fish is very hard to catch!"
“If there’s a surprise price, it’ll be worth the effort I put into getting it back.
Chen Hui pointed to the fishing boat.
I came back early today and the water level is still quite high.
Looking down from the side of the fishing boat, you can only see some fishing nets.
"Then do you want to jump down and get it up yourself?" Li Xu asked.
"No, the fishing boats have net shafts installed."
"I'll go down and untie the ropes that hold it in place, and then I'll just use the reel to pull it up."
After saying this, Chen Hui got back on the fishing boat, went to the cabin to change into the shorts that had been used in two trips in the water, went down into the sea, and untied the ropes at the bottom.
He pulled the rope attached to the fishing boat.
Wei Jianjun was on the fishing boat. He helped to untie one end of the rope and then threw it down.
Chen Hui swam in, untied the part that was around the fish, and pulled the rope again.
Wei Jianjun rolled up the rope and reeled it back in.
"Hey, your friend is quite good at swimming!"
"I haven't been this steady when I've swum in the river on hot days."
Li Xu nudged Chen Yaozu with his elbow and said.
"Not a friend, he'll call me uncle."
Chen Yaozu corrected him first and then went on to brag about Chen Hui.
Although he had never been out to sea with Chen Hui, it did not affect his vivid playing at all.
In the past, Li Xu was skeptical about Chen Hui going into the sea to catch fish.
After seeing his skillful and smooth operation, I believed it in my heart.
The head of the family-destroying net has been tied to the front end of the net-raising shaft.
Chen Hui untied the rope and returned to the fishing boat.
Wu Guang turned on the machine.
With a rumbling sound, the big net was slowly pulled out of the water and hung on the side of the fishing boat.
"Pull it over here, pull it over here."
"Old Wei, we can bring the boat over now."
Wu Shuisheng stood on the edge of the fishing boat.
While pulling the hanging fishing net towards the boat, he shouted loudly towards the cabin.
Wei Jianjun controlled the fishing boat and slowly moved it towards the dock.
All the way to the side of the fishing boat, right next to the dock.
"Brother Xu, shall we go up and take a look?" Chen Yaozu asked.
"Let's go up and have a look."
As Li Xu spoke, he skillfully climbed onto the fishing boat from the ladder on the side.
A big fish weighing more than 60 kilograms, together with the fishing net, is still a lot of stuff to put on the deck.
Wei Jianjun came out of the cab.
After a moment's silence, he walked to the other side of the fishing boat.
"Chen Hui, please entertain your guests yourself. We will sell the fish first."
"If you want to move the fish, just wait a moment. We can move the basket over quickly."
After Wu Shuisheng finished giving the instructions, he went to work with a few others.
"Got it, you guys go ahead and get busy."
Chen Hui responded by untying the fishing net and spreading it out.
The swordfish, which had been dragged all the way, had lost its vitality.
Feeling that the fishing net that bound him was gone, he just weakly shook his tail twice.
It's more like trying hard to prove that he is still alive.
"Wow! This fish is so long!"
"What does this look like in the sea? It must be awesome."
Chen Yaozu walked around the fish.
Completely impressed by it.
"It's the first time I've seen a live swordfish. It's awesome. So awesome."
Li Xu was also very convinced.
While the two of them were making a fuss.
Chen Hui bled the fish first to ensure the quality of the fish meat.
Li Xu squatted down and pulled open the swordfish's wide fin that could be used as a flag to take a look.
Handsome! Really handsome!
"Good, this fish is good! Even the blood is released after it is landed."
"I want this fish. I'll give you ten dollars per pound!"
Li Xu folded up the fish fins and patted the fish's body with great satisfaction.
"Ten dollars?"
"Brother Xu, why are you giving so much?"
Chen Hui and Chen Yaozu were both surprised.
On the way back, Chen Hui asked around.
A normal-sized swordfish only sells for $1.67 at the dock, usually no more than $2.
The fish that Wu Gang sold before was definitely a big fish because it weighed more than 40 kilograms.
Plus, I still had some work to do when I came back, and I just bled when I got ashore.
The purchasing point gave five yuan per pound.
Wu Gang's mouth was crooked with smile, and he agreed immediately.
