Going back to the old days of hunting at sea
Chapter 934: This is the price. I didn’t take advantage of you.
Chapter 934: This is the price. I didn’t take advantage of you.
Judging from He Juanjuan’s attitude, she obviously already had an idea of how much she would have to pay.
The amount will fluctuate depending on the specific weight and condition of the fish.
But overall the difference won’t be huge.
Chen Hui deliberately didn’t ask the price, and asked with a smile:
“Money is secondary. Where’s my breakfast? I’m a good kid, but I’m almost starving to death waiting for breakfast.”
Wang Kunhua took a bag from the side and handed it to Chen Hui.
He casually criticized: “It’s New Year’s Day, you’re going to get criticized for your catchphrase anyway.”
“I’m really hungry. There’s nothing to eat on the fishing boat.”
Chen Hui said this and shared breakfast with Wu Shuisheng.
Took He Juanjuan and Wang Kunhua to the fishing boat to watch the fish.
“Wow! This fish looks fierce!”
“Chen Hui, tell me first, how did you get such a big fish onto the fishing boat?”
“It looks almost as old as you.” Wang Kunhua exclaimed.
A fish weighing nearly 100 kilograms is still quite shocking visually.
“What’s about my size? I’m much taller than it.”
Chen Hui said jokingly.
He added some exaggeration and recounted the entire process from discovering the fish to bringing it back to the fishing boat.
If this fish is to be sold at a good price, the process must be tortuous enough.
Things that are too easy to get naturally give people the feeling that they should be cheaper.
“Then you had to go out to sea with Shuisheng and the others this time to catch this big fish.”
Wang Kunhua said with emotion.
“Yeah, thanks to them.”
“I don’t have a net or a reel on my own fishing boat.”
“Even if I came across one this big, I wouldn’t be able to get it back by myself using the net bag.”
Chen Hui nodded in agreement.
“This fish looks pretty big. How can we get it off the boat and back home?”
He Juanjuan was in a dilemma looking at the big fish.
“It’s not difficult to move it down. There are plenty of people at the dock to help.”
“Get it to the county town.”
Wu Shuisheng looked at the water tank and pondered for a while.
He ran to find Li Jiankang and informed him.
I need to borrow the extra-large fish box for a while, deliver the goods to the county town and then return it to him.
“It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry to use it.”
Because Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng helped with the work.
The work that would take Li Jiankang and his wife half a day to finish was now completed.
He waved his hands and didn’t care at all about borrowing the water tank for half a day longer.
Wu Shuisheng called seven or eight veteran fishermen for help.
Several people were at the dock, having loaded a few boxes of sea water and waiting.
Several people boarded the fishing boat.
While marveling at the huge size of the fish, he drained some of the seawater from the oversized tank.
They worked together to move the water tank from the fishing boat to the back of the tractor.
Quickly refill the water tank.
The generator and two oxygenators on the fishing boat were also moved onto the tractor.
Just as the giant grouper was about to capsize, seawater and oxygen were supplied in a timely manner.
The oxygen machine was turned to maximum, and after about ten minutes, the grouper’s condition recovered.
“Thank you, masters. Let’s have a cigarette.”
Wang Kunhua ran to the grocery store at the dock and bought a large front door fish, which he distributed one by one to the fishermen who came to help.
“Don’t be polite, it’s nothing.”
“Shuisheng is usually at the dock, and he helps out anyone who has problems.”
The uncle closest to Wang Kunhua waved his hand.
He had said all the good things, and others were too embarrassed to take them.
“You’re welcome. It’s so cold, and everyone has worked hard.”
“We’ll take whatever the boss gives us, and save the money for a pack of cigarettes to buy two eggs for the kids.”
Wu Shuisheng and Wang Kunhua are also old acquaintances.
Without any hesitation, she took the cigarette from his hand and shared it with several people.
In the end, there were two bags left, and he returned them to Wang Kun. “You don’t want it!?”
“Oh, your children are grown up now and can buy eggs for themselves.”
Wang Kunhua took a packet and left with a smile.
A whole pack of cigarettes was shared among each person.
“Chen Hui, can you come with me to the county town again?”
“This fish is so big that I can’t get it back to the tank without help.”
“Also, can you lend me one of your oxygen concentrators?”
“I’ll use it for a few days and return it to you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.”
He Juanjuan waited in the tractor for a while.
After thinking carefully about the follow-up arrangements, he strode over and asked.
“Sure, you guys go first, I’ll be there later on my motorcycle.”
“I won’t go out to sea before the Lantern Festival, so you can use the oxygen machine with confidence.” Chen Hui said generously.
“Why ride a motorcycle? Just squeeze in from the back.”
“How can you carry such a large water tank and a generator on a motorcycle?”
“I’ll take you back after I’ve caught the fish.”
Wang Kunhua said this and called Wu Shuisheng to go together.
Several people got in a car and rumbled to the alley entrance of Wang Kunhua’s house.
The alley is too narrow for motorcycles to fit in.
Fortunately, Wang Kunhua’s house was close to the entrance of the alley, and he called a few neighbors for help.
Together they moved the water tank back to the backyard outside Wang Kunhua’s kitchen.
“Brother-in-law Wang, where’s the water? Why didn’t you prepare any water?”
Chen Hui asked as he looked at the empty water tank in her house.
Wang Kunhua smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
“Yesterday I asked him if he was going to come.”
“She said that even if Chen Hui tried to catch a fish this big, he would most likely not be able to do so.”
“In the end, we still don’t know whether the fish delivered is marine fish or freshwater fish.”
He Juanjuan looked at the empty water tank and sighed helplessly.
He said this without giving any face at all.
“Oh, I underestimated you, I’ll call someone to send some over.”
As Wang Kunhua spoke, he went to the living room and called the purchasing point at the dock.
Ask someone to send over a few tanks of settled sea water.
“Li Jiankang once said that sometimes seawater can be sold for money, but I still don’t believe it.”
Wu Shuisheng muttered softly.
“This business sounds good, and the cost is almost zero.”
“We will also get some seawater to sell in the future, and use the tricycle at home to transport it.” said Chen Hui.
The two discussed it for a while and felt that they had found a way to make money.
I heard from Wang Kunhua who just came back from the phone call.
A large tank of sea water can be delivered to your doorstep for only thirty cents.
Suddenly I felt bored.
The three of them returned to the living room of He Juanjuan’s house, drank tea and waited for the sea water to be delivered.
First pour the delivered sea water into the water tank.
Then the giant grouper, along with the seawater in the tank, was poured into the water tank in He Juanjuan’s house.
There is a certain amount of water underneath to collect the water, which can prevent the big groupers from getting injured when they fall in.
Chen Hui plugged in the two oxygen machines and looked at the machines emitting bubbles.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay, it’s done!”
“Chen Hui, come and pay the bill.”
He Juanjuan said this and handed him a cloth bag.
Chen Hui pinched the thickness and weighed it, “So much!”
“You have never bought such a big fish, but I have bought such a big fish.”
“Don’t worry about taking it. I’m not taking advantage of you.” He Juanjuan said jokingly.
Wang Kunhua drove a tractor and took Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng back to Dasha Village Wharf.
As soon as the car drove away, Wu Shuisheng came closer and asked, “How much did she give you?”
