Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 748: Good luck, I can catch this at the beach
"real or fake?"

Chen Hui muttered to himself as he strode over to take a look.

"Not only is it real, it's also quite big, look!"

Before Chen Xiaoqiao could finish boasting, the crab in his hand was gone.

"Wife, tie this one up too." Chen Hui carefully handed the snatched crab to An Wenjing.

"Hey?! My! This thing is very expensive!" Chen Xiaoqiao said excitedly.

"It's just one anyway. How much can it be? It's mine!"

Chen Hui calculated that there were already three of them.

Even if I don't find anything else.

Just cut these three in half and they will be enough to make a whole plate.

Chen Hui used Chen Xiaoqiao's words to stop him, but Chen Xiaoqiao had nothing to say. He shrugged and looked for something else.

An Wenjing clamped the flashlight in her armpits and tied crabs to her hands.

An unintentional glance from the corner of my eye.

He shouted excitedly, "Brother Chen Hui! Over there! There's one running over that rock!"

"I see."

As Chen Hui spoke, he walked three or four meters out with the long pliers.

Turned a large rock over and caught crabs from the other side.

"Is this the one? It ran so far?" An Wenjing was a little suspicious.

"It was just trying to find a random place to hide. It might have been scared by the noise of me moving around."

Chen Hui raised the crab in his hand and looked at it.

Unfortunately, it was just an ordinary sea crab.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, can I give this to you?"

Chen Hui handed over the crab.

Chen Xiaoqiao took a look and said, "No, it's too small! I want a bigger one."

Chen Xiaoqiao didn't want it, and Chen Hui didn't waste it.

Throw it directly into the bucket.

"I feel like we should have a good harvest at the beach today, so keep looking around."

"I'm going to go down to the sea to take a look. If I don't go now, the tide will rise."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took the bath towel, towel, dry clothes and tools for going into the sea that An Wenjing had brought.

Walk to the old place where you usually go into the water.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, let's go over there too."

An Wenjing jogged two steps with the bucket in hand, then followed Chen Hui's pace.

"What good stuff is there over there? It's just big rocks! The water is so deep that we can't find anything."

Chen Xiaoqiao has his say.

Seeing that the two of them had walked away, I followed them.

Chen Hui put everything away and warmed up at a high place for a while.

He stretched his muscles and told An Wenjing to be careful.

He walked a few steps outside and slowly went into the water.

"Brother Chen Hui, is the water cold?" An Wenjing was a little worried and asked loudly while shining the light.

"I think it's OK. It's a little warmer than on shore."

"It's just that our village is not very convenient, and we have to be careful when we go into the water."

"Dasha Village is still the best. Just take off your clothes and rush down."

Chen Hui felt very comfortable with his whole body immersed in the sea water.

He relaxedly rubbed his hands and shouted leisurely towards the shore.

An Wenjing heard that his tone was indeed very relaxed, and said with a smile: "Then come back soon!"

"it is good!"

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he turned around and swam out for a few dozen meters.

As soon as I dived into the water, I saw a crab whose name I couldn't tell, welcoming me with its two big claws raised.

Little guy, you look pretty good.

I just needed two crabs of the right size to satisfy Chen Xiaoqiao.

Chen Hui swam down and captured him without any hesitation.

I picked up two stacks and decided to take them back to Chen Xiaoqiao later.

A slipper fish gently swung its tail twice, and the raised sea sand caught Chen Hui's attention.

This fish is not valuable though.

But it tastes good if steamed and splashed with hot oil, so Chen Hui also grabbed some.

It looks like there's nothing here.

There were no large ones. Chen Hui separated the fish and crabs he had caught and placed them in a safe place.

I swam out leisurely, and saw another Chinese tiger crab in the crevice of the rocks.

Also strange.

Normally you can't see any, but suddenly several of them appear.

Chen Hui caught the tiger crab wonderingly and felt that the water waves were slightly different.

He swam down close to the seabed, lowered his sight and looked forward, suddenly grinning.

In the gap between two overlapping reefs, a piece of the mantis shrimp's tail was exposed.

There is seaweed growing next to the reef, and if it hadn't sunk, you wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Judging from the tail alone, this mantis shrimp should be of considerable size.

Chen Hui tightened his gloves and swam to the front to take a look.

He picked up another stone from the side and knocked hard on the place where the two reefs overlapped.

The mantis shrimp sensed danger and shrank back.

It left the reef and ricocheted to the other side along the seabed.

Chen Hui swam over and took a look, and it turned out to be a shrimp!

It is a little bigger than the one I gave to Huang Shuqing last time.

What a surprise!

This is!
This is the first time I have seen shrimps so close to the shore.

I just don't know whether it is male or female.

Of the same size, female shrimps can be more than twice as expensive as male ones.

I don’t know what County Magistrate Xu’s spending power is.

If it is a female, I will take it to the county town to sell it tomorrow morning.

If it is a male, save it for tomorrow's lunch.

There are some rare good items on the table, and the price of a meal is not very high, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.

Chen Hui has made up his mind.

He swam faster and reached out to press the shrimp to the bottom of the sea, then caught it in his hand and observed it carefully.

It's male.

I have to say, this county magistrate has a good appetite.

I went to the beach the night before and found two rare and valuable things.

Chen Hui put the shrimps into a net bag separately.

I could feel the tide starting to change, and by the time I calculated it was almost high tide.

He swam back to the shore, pulling a few net bags.

I poked my head out of the water and took a look.

I took a deep breath, held my breath and went ashore, and found that I felt fine.

It wasn't as cold as before when I returned to the fishing boat from the sea.

"Brother Chen Hui! You're back! Are you cold?"

An Wenjing has been waiting for a while.

Seeing people coming ashore, I picked up a large bath towel and a towel and trotted over.

She put a bath towel on Chen Hui and stood on tiptoe to help him wipe his hair with the towel.

"It's okay today. It was really cold on the fishing boat the past two days."

As Chen Hui spoke, he wiped the sea water off his body with a towel.

He took the towel from An Wenjing's hand, wiped his hair, and walked towards the shore.

"The temperature must have dropped a few days ago. It was chilly when I went to work in the morning."

"It's okay today. The feeling isn't that obvious." An Wenjing said behind him.

"Chen Hui, I have good news for you!"

"After you went down just now, we caught two more tiger crabs."

"The big one is for Wenjing, the small one is not for you, and you haven't even seen my wife and children."

Seeing people coming up, Chen Xiaoqiao couldn't wait to take credit.

"Oh! Not bad!"

"Now I have a good life and I know how to think about my wife and children."

Chen Hui smiled and handed the net bag containing the seafood for Chen Xiaoqiao to him.

"You are good in every way now, except that you are a little weird sometimes."

"Your accent sounds more like my dad's than my dad's."

Chen Xiaoqiao took the net bag and complained.
