Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 833: Scarcity makes things valuable. This thorn is valuable.
"Look! Isn't that Chen Hui?!"

Wang Xianyong had not caught anything and was staring at the sea anxiously.

I saw a string of water splashing away into the distance like a small boat.

Pointing at the water surface, he asked loudly to everyone.

"Who else could it be besides him?" He Juanjuan said.

"This boy swims really fast, why doesn't he participate in swimming competitions?"

"With his speed, he should have no problem winning a medal in the Olympics, right?" said Wang Xianyong's wife.

They are both sports fans.

Talking about this immediately opened up the topic.

A few people were fishing and chatting, and Chen Hui was swimming forward with a splash in the water.

In a relatively spacious sea area without many large reefs, he saw the target he had sensed.

A parrotfish!

Parrotfish are not uncommon in the sea. Chen Hui just caught four or five and put them on the hook.

But the one in front of me looked like it weighed at least 40 or 50 kilograms.

"Wow! What a great fate!"

Chen Hui looked at the target that attracted him.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Take out the large net bag and open it, letting the water flow to unfold it completely.

He stretched his muscles and swam above the giant parrotfish, thinking about how to attack it.

His eyes wandered.

I noticed an inconspicuous large rock next to the reef.

It kicked up some sand.

"Eh?!"

If it weren't for this shiver, Chen Hui really wouldn't have noticed it.

Big fish can be caught by induction, so there is no need to worry about them running away.

Chen Hui put the large net bag in his hand on his trouser loop and took out a small net bag.

He swam towards the "reef" and looked carefully up and down and left and right.

"I was wondering why they looked so familiar, they are all old acquaintances!"

Chen Hui quickly understood.

He reached out and scooped the entire crab out of the gravel, shook it off, and removed the excess sand, then looked at it delicately.

This is a crown crab, also known as the queen crab.

This crab has very good meat quality.

It cannot be farmed and is rarely seen in the sea.

Chen Hui had placed orders from a seafood market before and had to wait for more than half a year before he got them.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Something this rare will naturally be worth a lot.

He looks like a prick, but actually he has a very good temper.

Chen Hui caught it in his hand and played with it.

It just curls its legs together and disguises itself as a big reef.

"Come on! Come home with me!"

Chen Hui put it into the net bag and looked forward.

The big fish just now was swimming leisurely not far away, occasionally eating some small fish and shrimps swimming by.

I feel very comfortable and have no intention of going far for the time being.

Chen Hui smiled and grabbed the net bag to conduct a carpet search around.

Found several common large crabs.

A dozen or so nice sized shrimps.

A few large shrimps.

There were also two abalones as big as palms, and five or six smaller ones.

After putting all of these into another net bag, Chen Hui also made sure that there was nothing else of particular value nearby.

Tie the two net bags, one on the left and one on the right, to the trouser loops on both sides of the trousers.

He took out the large net bag again, opened it, and chased after the parrotfish.

The parrotfish was lying close to the seabed, leisurely eating shrimps.

Suddenly, he felt something approaching him at a very fast speed, so he flicked his tail and ran away.

The tail fin just swung towards Chen Hui's face.

Chen Hui almost subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.

The tail fin hit his forearm, making his arm numb.

"I go!"

Chen Hui sighed, shaking his hands.

I catch fish every day, but I never thought that one day I would almost get beaten by a fish.

I looked at my arm. It was a little red, but fortunately it wasn't black.

Chen Hui's arm was numb, and the parrotfish was not much better.

When the tail fin hits someone, the fish won't even be able to swim.

The fish's body tilted to the other side, and it took a long time before it remembered how a fish should swim.

I accelerated to sprint to the other side, but suddenly my vision went dark.

It's not easy to catch such a big fish.

Chen Hui predicted its route and swam over from the other side of a large reef.

The parrotfish was caught head and face.

He tightened the rope and punched the fish head twice, which was still struggling and stabbing.

Although the parrotfish was still struggling, its movements had slowed down a lot.

Chen Hui pulled the net bag back to the other side of the fishing boat.

He knocked hard on the edge of the fishing boat.

There is no ladder here, and my hands are limited in strength so I can't make much noise.

Plus, there were so many people on the fishing boat, making so much noise that they didn't hear any noise coming from this side.

There was no choice, Chen Hui had to swim to the side where a group of people were fishing.

He stuck his head out and waved toward the fishing boat.

"Chen Hui is back!!"

"It's Chen Hui! Did he really swim in the sea for so long?"

"Where have you been? There's no one around!"

As soon as Chen Hui showed up, he immediately triggered a round of violent reactions.

"Sister Xiulian, Sister Yanhong, please collect your fishing rods!"

Chen Hui shouted loudly, pointing to the ladder behind their fishing rods.

He was going to tie the net to the rope and then climb onto the boat using the ladder at the side.

The fishing hooks of both of them fell right in front of us.

"Oh! Good! Let's collect the fishing rods."

Li Yanhong reacted and responded by retrieving the fishhook.

Huang Xiu Lian also took back her fishing rod.

Looking at the empty fishhook at the top, he said in annoyance: "Hey! It's been eaten again. There is no protection period at all."

Chen Hui swam over and tied the large net bag firmly to the rope.

I boarded the fishing boat with two net bags, a medium-sized one and a small one.

Place the net bag into the water tank.

Call Wu Shuisheng and Wu Dahua to help add seawater and develop an electric motor to provide oxygen.

He ran back to the cabin wrapped in a bath towel.

Quickly wipe off the sea water on your body and put on dry clothes and a thick coat.

He came out wiping the water off his hair.

"Chen Hui, what's in here? Can we take a look?"

Several people stopped fishing and gathered around the water tank out of curiosity.

Wu Dahua and Wu Shuisheng had already drawn four buckets of sea water and poured them in.

Wu Dahua was tinkering with the generator.

Wu Shuisheng has already prepared the oxygen equipment.

"Wait a minute, let me pull up a big piece of cargo first."

"Uncle, please come and help me, don't let me handle this!"

Chen Hui wiped his hair a few more times faster, then hung the bath towel aside.

"I told you so. He put the net bag in such a big water tank. There must be other stuff."

Wu Shuisheng said this and patted Wu Dahua's shoulder proudly.

"Uncle, it's a bit heavy! It's more than 40 kilograms." Chen Hui said while holding the rope.

"understood."

Wu Shuisheng spat into his palm.

He rubbed his hands together and worked together with Chen Hui to pull the fish onto the fishing boat.

Grab both sides of the net bag and lift it like a sack and put it into the water tank.

"Wow! It's so big!"

"He just said it was over 40 kilograms!"

"What kind of fish is this big? Open it and take a look."

Several people in Wang Xianzhi's family urged him urgently again.

"Don't rush to open it. There are a lot of people here today. Let's play a game, shall we?"

Chen Hui took the towel in his hand again, wiped his hair and suggested with a smile.
