Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 791: Human pulling of fishing nets, the harvest scene is quite spectacular

The three people saw Chen Hui coming out.

They asked in unison: "Chen Hui, where did you get these two conches?"

"Caught it from the sea!" said Chen Hui.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? How could I not know that it was caught from the sea?" Wu Shuisheng was speechless.

"It should be lying on the reef? Or under the gravel?"

"I've caught small ones of this kind a few times before with a fine-mesh net, but I've never seen one this big."

"Later, when we changed our fishing nets, we rarely even saw conchs, let alone big ones."

Wei Jianjun weighed the conch in his hand, feeling both curious and envious.

These two conches look like they weigh about four or five kilograms each.

The conch grows to this size.

In addition to its delicious meat, the snail shells are also worth collecting and viewing.

The price of the whole snail went up suddenly.

"Then can I give you more details?"

"I found it under a big reef when I was looking for palm-sized shrimps for Uncle Wei in the sea."

"Don't ask me which reef I am!"

"It didn't tell me its name, and I forgot to ask."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he showed a sincere but annoying smile.

Wu Shuisheng couldn't help complaining, "Then remember to ask next time!"

I took the conch and looked at it at the water tank.

A naked-breasted eel weighing more than twenty kilograms was lying limply in the water tank, filling the bottom of the tank.

"The eel takes up much more space than other fish of this size, so there's no room for the snail."

Wu Shuisheng looked at the water tank and felt troubled.

"Why not just put them in there? Naked eels are very good-tempered and won't bite them."

Chen Hui walked over while talking.

Take the conch from Wu Shuisheng's hand and put it directly on the naked-breasted eel.

The naked-breasted eel moved its body without any unnecessary reaction.

"It's not good to be a good-tempered fish!"

Wei Jianjun sighed.

He also put the conch in his hand onto the naked-breasted eel.

Pointing to the net bag that Chen Hui had thrown aside, he said, "Is this for dinner?"

"Uncle Wei, wait a moment."

Chen Hui kept the secret.

Bring over the big basin used to wash the seafood at noon.

Pull open the drawstring of the net bag and pour out all the seafood inside.

There were two crabs as big as large bowls.

There are three mantis shrimps as long as a palm.

There were seven or eight shrimps as big as half a palm.

There are also five large abalones and two sea cucumbers which are slightly smaller than shrimps.

"This net bag of mine may look inconspicuous, but it can be worth a lot of money when sold." Wu Dahua was stunned.

If this bag was given to him, he would raise it like a treasure all the way back.

Chen Hui was so casual and just threw it aside as soon as he got on the fishing boat?
"How is it, Uncle Wei? Are they big enough?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.

"Each one is so huge! You spend two or three hours in the sea just for these things?"

Wei Jianjun was in a complicated mood.

He didn't expect that Chen Hui would come back with so much for just a casual remark he made.

"There's nothing to do on the fishing boat anyway, so I'll just spend some time looking for it."

"Did you see that giant sea cucumber? I found those two conches when I was looking for it."

“You can eat well and earn a lot, it’s a win-win situation!”

While Chen Hui and Wei Jianjun were talking, Wu Shuisheng was squatting beside the basin, picking and choosing.

Use a hemp rope to tie up one of the big crabs.

I also picked out the abalone and sea cucumbers, put them in a small net bag, and put them in the water tank.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Chen Hui asked in confusion.

"When we collect the nets later, there will be something else to cook and eat."

"I picked out all the nutritious ones and took them back to cook for Wenjing!" said Wu Shuisheng.

This bag of seafood can be sold for a lot of money.

He felt a little distressed, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he had to pick out the good ones and let Chen Hui take some back.

"Yes, yes, it's time for Wenjing to eat something good." Wei Jianjun also agreed.

"Then I'll leave dinner to you tonight. Let's get down to business."

"Dahua, you are weak, you go drive the boat."

"First collect the fishing nets here, then go back and collect the hooks! All the nets should be collected before dark."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he separated the fish baskets that were stacked together.

Wu Dahua nodded and walked towards the cab.

While the fishing boat had not yet accelerated, Chen Hui fetched two buckets of sea water to use for washing the seafood later.

Light up the charcoal stove and add rice, a little lard and water into a small pot.

Cooking rice while fanning the wind.

Wei Jianjun was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing the buoy that passed by the fishing boat.

"Wow!!!"

As soon as the fishing net was brought out of the water, Wei Jianjun and Wu Shuisheng exclaimed at the same time.

"Is it a good harvest?" Wu Dahua asked loudly in the cab.

Chen Hui fanned his hands a few times and stood up to look curiously.

There were quite a few fish hanging on the fishing net that was pulled out of the water, making a crackling sound and was quite lively.

"What kind of fish are they?" Chen Hui asked.

"They are all white pomfret! The price of this fish is reasonable!"

"There are two more stone fish. You can take them off and cook them to eat." Wu Shuisheng instructed.

The net shaft used on Wu Guang’s fishing boat.

One person can easily handle the task of pulling the net.

The other two people took hooks and knives and removed the fish from the fishing net.

They were sorted and put into different fish baskets on the spot.

Without a net reel, it is too much work for one person to pull the net.

Wei Jianjun and Wu Shuisheng had to work together to pull up all the fishing nets first.

Then rescue the trapped fish one by one.

Naturally, he couldn't spare the time to butcher the fish and cook it for Chen Hui.

"What delicious food does Shi Jiugong have? I'll pick some and cook them for myself later."

As Chen Hui spoke, he sat down again and continued fanning himself a few times.

"Wow! This is a pretty good net!"

“Although they are all silver pomfret, they are all pretty good in size!”

“I hope the next one will be as smooth.”

Wei Jianjun moved the large basket full of fishing nets and fish to the side.

As he spoke, he pulled over another empty basket.

"I hope for two or three strikes!"

Wu Shuisheng starts making a wish.

"Don't come at me three times this time. By the time we have the net ready to deal with it, it will be dead."

"Just like this, we'll use two more nets to catch the larger silver pomfret. When we collect the hooks later, we'll cut each hook three times."

Wei Jianjun laughed happily after saying this.

Daydreaming is something that makes you happy while you are dreaming.

The fishing boat slowly approached the second buoy.

Chen Hui and Wu Dahua soon heard the second sound: "Wow!!!"

"Silver pomfret again?" Wu Dahua asked loudly.

"Yeah! There are so many! They are so densely packed together. We must have fallen into a pomfret nest. Hahahaha!"

Wu Shuisheng said happily, feeling that his hands were particularly strong.

"Wow!!!"

"Wow!!!"

The two exclaimed one after another.

After Chen Hui cooked the rice, he quickly moved the rice pot away and put an aluminum pot on top to boil water.

I couldn't wait to run over and join in the fun.

The cabin was no longer walkable and was filled with fishing nets that had not yet been dealt with.

Every fishing net was filled with silver pomfret, creating a spectacular scene.
