Going back to the old days of hunting at sea
Chapter 932: A rich harvest on the fishing boat
Chapter 932: A rich harvest on the fishing boat
Chen Hui swam forward and had not yet reached the area where the sensitivity was the strongest.
Three small fishes swam together leisurely past him, immediately attracting his attention.
These are three redfin breams, each weighing less than one pound.
It’s not a particularly valuable variety.
Chen Hui has tried it and the taste of the fish is nothing special.
The biggest advantage is that it looks good and is a great ornamental fish.
“It’s so pitiful for such a beautiful fish to have to struggle in the sea to make a living.”
“Just follow me, I’ll take you to the aquarium to live and work in peace.”
Chen Hui thought to himself and spread out a net bag.
He found the right moment and rushed forward, catching all three fish at once.
The three fish were given to Wang Xianzhi’s mother-in-law.
If nothing goes wrong, she will give it to a relative who runs an aquarium at home.
Giving a gift is doing two favors and at the same time making your presence felt.
The price/performance ratio is quite high.
Pulling the net bag tight, Chen Hui continued to swim in the direction he sensed for a while, then turned around and swam back.
The area where the sensitivity is most obvious is a bare stretch of sand on the seabed, with no particularly large reefs or coral reefs around it.
Then the things that I sensed could only hide in these tiny reefs and sea sand.
Chen Hui tightened his gloves.
He reached into the sand and scooped a handful.
A cloud of black mist spread in the sea along with the raised sand.
A red squid retracted its tentacles and rushed forward like a rocket launcher.
“so big!”
Chen Hui didn’t see clearly what kind of fish it was, but he was very surprised by its size.
Avoid the ink around you.
He took out a medium-sized net bag and spread it out, then chased after the giant squid.
The giant squid sprinted forward for a while and then stopped close to the sea sand.
The tentacles spread out in all directions, and the ends were still moving gently.
This means we are still in a state of alert and have not completely relaxed.
The success rate of forcibly grabbing at this time is not high, and you may even get sprayed in the face.
Chen Hui was not in a hurry to take action.
Swim above it and observe it slowly.
This squid is very big, it looks like it weighs about seven or eight kilograms.
The whole body is a beautiful orange-red color, and the two fins are connected in a vertical diamond shape. It is obviously a diamond-fin squid at first glance.
Squid, who likes squid?
Chen Hui remembered that there was a client whom he liked very much and the answer was about to come out, but his brain suddenly got stuck.
Never mind, just catch him first.
Chen Hui saw that the lying diamond-fin squid had relaxed and started to bury sand on itself.
Grab the net bag in your hand.
With a dive, all the fish and sand were caught in the net.
Fine sea sand mixed with thick ink emerged from the cracks and holes in the net bag.
Chen Hui put the net bag in and let it go, letting the giant squid inside struggle a little longer.
In the nearby sea sand, I dug up two slipper fish and several small octopuses.
Pack it together with the bag of seafood to be eaten in the evening.
Seeing that the net bag thrown aside was no longer emitting black ink, he picked it up, shook it, and continued swimming forward with the net bag.
On the way, I caught a grouper, an eel, and three mantis shrimps that were bigger than my palm.
When we returned to the fishing boat with a full catch, it was already dark outside.
Chen Hui tied all the net bags to the ropes.
He got on the fishing boat, wrapped himself in a bathrobe and a cotton jacket and ran into the cabin.
“Hey! Chen Hui is back.”
Wei Jianjun saw it and said with a smile.
“Finally you’re back! Hurry up and light up the charcoal stove.”
“I’m starving, just waiting to finish dinner and go to bed.”
Wu Guang said this and came over to take a look.
Seeing that the frames beside the fishing boat were empty, he asked curiously, “Is he going to get dressed and not go out tonight?” “It’s already dark, he definitely won’t go.”
“Just from that big one just now, he has made enough money on this trip.”
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he fanned the charcoal fire in the charcoal stove to make it burn more vigorously.
Add some water to the teapot and put it on.
By the time Chen Hui came out, fully dressed in three layers of clothes, the water in the teapot was boiling.
“Hurry up, come and have a cup of hot water first.”
“It’s so cold, why do you stay in the sea for so long?”
Wu Shuisheng waved towards Chen Hui and handed him a large cup of tea that he had just brewed.
“Oh my god, uncle, you are not drinking tea, you are drinking Chinese medicine.”
Chen Hui took it and took a look.
Drink this cup and don’t sleep tonight.
He took his own cup, poured some tea into it, and added some boiled water.
Holding the cup to cover hands.
“Chen Hui, you’ve been gone for so long, where are your things?”
As soon as Wu Guang finished speaking, Wu Dahua had already helped pull the things on the rope up.
He responded loudly towards this side: “The thing is here!”
“The food in the medium-sized net bag is what we eat at night, and the rest is put in the water tank.” Chen Hui said while drinking hot tea.
Wu Dahua nodded.
Throw the medium-sized net bag into the small basin next to it.
The other two bags were placed in the oversized water tank, next to the giant grouper.
“Chen Hui, do you want to raise the one here separately?”
“If this fish flicks its tail, it will probably kill all the things in your bag,” Wu Dahua reminded.
Chen Hui walked over and took a look.
This water tank is very large, and there is still a lot of space left after putting the giant grouper in.
The giant grouper is also in good condition and shows no signs of oxygen deficiency.
“No, I’ll just find a fish basket to separate them.”
“I’ll come, I’ll come.”
Wu Dahua stopped Chen Hui’s action.
I went to the side and got a fish basket of suitable size and put the things in the two net bags.
Place the fish basket at the back of the tank.
Then go to the side and open the medium-sized net bag.
I found a basin and poured everything into it, exclaiming, “Wow! That’s so much!”
“The dinner is quite filling. It’s worth the wait.”
Wu Shuisheng saw it and took a bucket to fetch water.
Wu Guang nudged Wei Jianjun with his elbow and whispered teasingly, “Old Wei! Is Dahua so concerned and active about Chen Hui’s matter this time?”
“Look at the wife Chen Hui found for him. She’s pretty and comes from a good family.”
“They didn’t ask for anything from him when he got married, and they were willing to help him start a business.”
“If he could find me someone like this, I would worship her, not to mention such a small matter.”
Wei Jianjun laughed as he spoke.
I couldn’t help but feel a little envious when I saw Wu Dahua.
“It’s a pity that both of my partners are married, otherwise I could ask Chen Hui to introduce one to me.” Wu Guang also nodded in agreement.
Wu Shuisheng hauled up a bucket of sea water.
He waved at the two men and shouted, “Two grown men, what are you talking about over there? If you want to eat early, come over and work with us.”
They had already cooked the rice before Chen Hui came back.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, I felt my body warmed up.
Chen Hui took out the side dishes from the basket.
Wash what needs to be washed and cut what needs to be cut.
All packed up.
Stir-fry ingredients, add vegetables, add seafood, and season.
Soon a big pot of seafood hot and sour soup was cooked, which made people drool just by smelling it.
