Going back to the old days of hunting at sea
Chapter 933: The money I just took is waiting for you
Chapter 933: The money I just took is waiting for you
A few people gathered together and had dinner in a lively atmosphere.
Let’s clean up the pots and pans together.
Leaving Chen Hui behind to watch the fishing boat, the others went back to the cabin to catch up on their sleep.
It usually takes until three or four in the morning to collect the net and return.
Every time after setting up the fishing nets, everyone was tired and hungry, so they simply drank some water and ate two mooncakes to get by.
After selling the fish, I go back home and have a proper breakfast.
Chen Hui ate a little too much at night, and it was boring to look after the fishing boat alone.
First take a look at today’s harvest to make sure they are all in good condition.
Seeing that I still had a lot of charcoal I brought this time, I used the leftover seafood soup from dinner to cook half a pot of vermicelli.
Wait until they finish their work at night.
Light up the charcoal stove to heat it up, and you can have a delicious and hot meal.
After finishing everything, Chen Hui stared at the night sky for who knows how long.
Wu Guang came out of the cabin and asked, “Chen Hui, what time is it now?”
Chen Hui looked down at his watch and said, “It’s half past twelve.”
“Oh, then we have to prepare to close the net.”
Wu Guang muttered to himself and went into the cabin to wake everyone up.
Several people were responsible for the frames, some were responsible for sharpening the hook knives, and each started working on their own.
Chen Hui told them that there was cooked vermicelli in the pot and asked them to heat it up and eat it after they finished their work.
Then he returned to the cabin and slept until Wu Shuisheng came to call him.
“what time is it?”
Chen Hui asked while yawning.
“It’s past six o’clock, and it’s getting a little light.”
“We lowered the nets late yesterday, and were slow to collect them, and the wind was against us when we got back.”
“Hurry up and get up. We will enter the port in ten minutes.”
Wu Shuisheng kept talking and went to wake others up.
Chen Hui put on his clothes and came out.
The fishing boats were filled with fish baskets.
It can be seen that they had a good harvest yesterday and they were also very tired.
The two generators rumbled towards the oversized water tank, and there was a smaller water tank next to it.
“Eh?! What good stuff did you catch? Something worth keeping in a tank.”
Chen Hui said as he went over to take a look.
He said to Wu Shuisheng in surprise: “Uncle, you actually got such a big lobster?!”
Lobsters are hard to find in this season.
I haven’t seen Chen Hui for a long time.
The one they caught was estimated to weigh about 1.7 to 1.8 kilograms, which was considered a big one.
“Yeah! I was really lucky yesterday.”
“If you take this lobster back, you can sell it for thirty or forty dollars.”
Wu Shuisheng rubbed his hands and looked at the water tank happily.
He was really satisfied with the harvest from his last trip before the New Year.
“Sell this lobster to me.”
“Also sell those two groupers and this tiger fish to me.” Chen Hui said, pointing at the water tank.
“Don’t your customers come here without fishing nets?” Wu Shuisheng asked.
“We don’t want the dead, but we do want the living.”
“Besides the biggest fish, I plan to give the rest as gifts.”
“I don’t want to sell it for money, and I don’t want it for free.”
Wu Guang and Wu Dahua came out of the cabin yawning and rubbing their eyes.
Chen Hui called them over and told them that he wanted to buy these things.
We discussed it for a while.
Including the lobster and fish, the total of fifty dollars was given to Chen Hui.
The fishing boat slowly approached the dock.
Chen Hui took out two net bags from the large water tank and put them into the small water tank containing the lobsters.
First, I harvested this full water tank and sent it all back home to keep.
When they returned to the dock, Wu Guang and his friends had already sold all the goods. They divided the money and left.
Wu Shuisheng was waiting at the dock.
He took Chen Hui to the village to borrow a phone. As they walked, he said, “I paid for your share of the expenses. I also gave them the money for the lobster and fish.”
“Okay! I’ll give you the money after I sell the big fish.” Chen Hui nodded.
“No, it’s just a small amount of money.”
Wu Shuisheng waved his hands and didn’t take it seriously.
I just told Chen Hui about it, not asking him to settle the account.
“Uncle, you are becoming more and more generous now.” Chen Hui teased.
“I used to be stingy?!”
“Uh no, no no!”
Chen Hui made up for it guiltily.
I went to Dasha Village, borrowed a phone and called He Juanjuan.
“Hello, who is this?” He Juanjuan’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Sister Juanjuan, it’s me, Chen Hui.”
“I got the 100-jin fish you wanted. It’s a giant grouper.”
“It may not be 100 kilograms. I haven’t taken it out and weighed it yet. Anyway, it must be 80 or 90 kilograms.”
“He was on oxygen all the way back and is still alive.”
When you call at this time, get straight to the point and don’t waste any time.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds.
Chen Hui asked again in confusion: “Sister Juanjuan, are you listening?”
“Chen Hui, you are really good! You are really amazing.”
“You guys wait for me at the dock. Your brother-in-law and I will borrow a car and come right over.”
He Juanjuan’s voice sounded very happy.
He gave two instructions anxiously.
He almost put the phone down, but then he put it back to his ear and said, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Not really. I just came back from the sea.”
“I want ten steamed buns, two bowls of soy milk, a fried dough stick and two tea eggs.”
“Thank you!”
Chen Hui said bluntly.
First of all, we all know each other well, so there is no need to be hypocritical.
Secondly, the lobster he bought from Wu Guang and others was intended to be given to He Juanjuan.
A lobster was given away, so it’s okay to just have some buns and steamed buns.
“Okay, got it, wait!”
After saying this, He Juanjuan hung up the phone.
Chen Hui also found people from the village.
I gave them some cigarettes and paid for a two-minute phone call.
“What a loss! I just spoke for ten extra seconds.” Wu Shuisheng sighed.
“It only took ten seconds to earn us two people’s breakfast. It’s worth it.” Chen Hui smiled and shook his head.
“Others come in two servings, but our fried dough sticks only come in one?” Wu Shuisheng asked in confusion.
“Too many fried dough sticks will make you angry, just fold them in half for each person.”
Chen Hui smiled and shrugged.
Together with Wu Shuisheng, we slowly returned to the dock, basking in the early morning sunshine.
It was the time when the fishing boats were returning to the port and had just collected their catch.
Li Jianshe and his wife were very busy at the purchasing stall.
We have to wait for someone anyway.
Wu Shuisheng and Chen Hui passed by and helped with the work for thirty-four minutes.
There was a clatter of noises coming from the dock.
Chen Hui ran out of the purchasing point to take a look.
He Juanjuan and Wang Kunhua came driving the construction team’s large tractor.
“Brother-in-law, your car is quite cool!” Chen Hui ran over and said with a smile.
Wang Kunhua is fine.
When Chen Hui’s family was building a house and there were not enough workers, he also did the work.
Seeing He Juanjuan sitting in the car, I always felt something was wrong and wanted to laugh for no reason.
“Chen Hui, where are my fish? Take me to see them.”
“I have all the money. I just went to the credit union to withdraw it. I am waiting to give it to you.”
