Chapter 100: This ship has an average household income of yuan per person
"Looks good, right? Good-looking people are useful, but good-looking fish are useless. They can't be sold at a high price."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he deftly used a hook to hook out the tangled fishing net and threw the fish into a large basket nearby.

"The ugly tiger fish in the net bag is much more expensive than it." Chen Hui also joked.

"Wow!"

An Wenjing squatted beside the fish basket and looked at it. She couldn't help but feel sorry for it and said, "Such a beautiful fish, why can't it be sold at a higher price?"

This made everyone laugh.

Wu Guang said vaguely, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "If that's the case, the mermaid can be sold for at least 10,000 yuan, right?"

"If we really caught a mermaid, we would have to sell it for at least 40,000 yuan."

"Each person gets 10,000 yuan. The average person on our ship is worth 10,000 yuan." Chen Hui took over the conversation.

Chen Hui didn't tell them the higher price, for fear that they couldn't imagine it.

"Oh my, that would make me laugh even in my dreams." Wu Guang laughed.

"I woke up laughing, but I woke up scared even from my dreams."

"Stop dreaming. Didn't you see that the network is stuck?" Wu Shuisheng interrupted his fantasy with the ruthless reality.

"Oh my! Really."

Wu Guang came back to his senses, put out the cigarette in his hand, dealt with the gap between the rollers, and then started to pull the net carefully again.

One fish after another, hung on the fishing net, was brought onto the boat and thrown into the basket.

Although she grew up by the sea, there are some fish she has never seen, or she has only seen them when she was a child.

An Wenjing looked happily in this basket and that basin, and seemed no more mature than An Wenyi.

The first net was pulled, and the fish harvested filled two large baskets.

An Wenjing was very happy to see this, but the others were secretly shaking their heads.

"Uncle, aren't these worth anything?" An Wenjing was puzzled and walked to Wu Shuisheng and asked in a low voice.

Wu Shuisheng thought about it, looked at Chen Hui and said, "It's all his fault!"

"Ah?! What's wrong with me again?" Chen Hui was confused.

"What are you talking about? Speak louder and talk together." Wu Guang asked loudly.

"Wen Jing asked me if these fish were worthless," said Wu Shuisheng.

Wu Guang laughed out loud at Wu Shuisheng's words, and tried to remain objective and said:

"Normally speaking, the harvest from this first round is already very good. Goods are not afraid of being broken, but they are afraid of being compared. When compared with Chen Hui, it feels a little bit inferior."

Wu Dahua, who was standing by, shook his head and pinched his leg secretly.

"Wu Guang, don't save face for yourself."

"We are not only just barely making enough. If we don't get some big shipments later, we together won't make as much as Chen Hui alone."

"It will be as if he comes here specifically to go out to sea and we are just here to have fun." Wu Shuisheng laughed after he finished speaking.

An Wenjing really wanted to say something to comfort them.

But I am really happy that my man is so great.

At this time, it seems a bit easy to say words to comfort others, so I simply stopped talking and went to the fish box beside to look at the fish.

"Uncle, happiness is achieved through comparison, and so is misfortune."

"Why do you want to compete with me? Why don't you compete with others?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"That's true."

"It's funny. Last week, a boat went out to sea. I don't know what law it broke, but the Queen found out. So they caught a basket of fish, but it wasn't enough to cover the fuel costs."

Wu Guang immediately found a suitable control group.

People's sorrows and joys are not the same, so they were chatting happily at this time and started to pull up the second net at the same time.

The second fishing net caught the same group of fish that were swimming in nearby waters.

When the third fishing net was pulled up, they finally caught a three-knife and a lobster weighing more than one pound, which made everyone happy. Chen Hui and An Wenjing pulled all the fishing nets together, and then returned to the cabin to rest.

There are a few people outside still dealing with the fishing nets and they may come in at any time.

Chen Hui was honest for once, and just hugged An Wenjing and fell asleep.

I hadn't slept well for several days. The sounds of talking, walking and working on the deck seemed to disappear. I slept until dawn.

When Chen Hui came out of the cabin, he could see the dock in the distance.

Wu Shuisheng sat at the bow of the boat, smoking and looking towards the dock.

Chen Hui took out the not-so-fresh peaches from his cloth bag, walked up to him, sat down next to him, and handed him the peaches.

"You're being nice to me for no reason. What's the matter?" Wu Shuisheng looked at Taozi and shook his head to indicate that he didn't want it.

"Uncle, after the fish is sold, I'll give you twenty yuan as pocket money, right?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Hush money, huh?"

Twenty yuan is enough to buy cigarettes for three or four months.

This kid Chen Hui really depends on his parents for support when he is young, but now that he can make money, he is really generous to his own people.

It can be said that it was not in vain that I raised him for so many years.

Wu Shuisheng looked at Chen Hui, smiled and nodded in agreement.

"One more thing. I'm thinking of putting this fish on the boat before pulling it to the dock."

"Uncle, can you take me to your village to make a phone call?" Chen Hui said.

"Call?! Who to call? That rich lady in the county?" Wu Shuisheng asked curiously.

"It's not her. The tiger fish is for her. The price of the redmouthed sturgeon is too high. It's not appropriate to sell it to her."

"I have another customer in the county town. I wanted to ask him first if he would accept it." Chen Hui said.

"Do you know other rich people in the county? I didn't realize you're such a good guy."

Wu Shuisheng nodded and said, "Keep your conversation short and don't chat. It's best not to exceed one minute."

Don't call for more than a minute.

If it's already been more than a minute, just chat for another fifty seconds.

Chen Hui was struck by the memory of death and said with a smile: "I'll try my best. If it's really over the limit, just pay it."

"It's not a matter of money or not."

"If you are willing to pay, the accountant will be too lazy to do the accounting of these cents and dimes." Wu Shuisheng reminded.

Fishing boats docked.

Wu Shuisheng explained the situation to Wu Guang and asked him to arrange to carry the fish to sell first.

He took Chen Hui to the village, sold his face as a fellow villager, handed him a cigarette and borrowed a phone.

When he got the phone number, Chen Yaozu read it twice to show off.

The last digit of 18018 was also easy to remember. Chen Hui remembered it very clearly and picked up the phone and called.

"Hello, who are you?" Chen Yaozu's voice was gentle and his tone was very polite.

"Uncle Yaozu? I'm Chen Hui from Chenjia Village. Last time I sold..."

"Oh, it's you. What's up? Another good deal?"

When he heard that it was Chen Hui, Chen Yaozu stopped pretending and interrupted him and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Shall we collect the red-billed sturgeon? More than twenty kilograms." Chen Hui looked up at the clock on the wall. Ten seconds.

"Twenty pounds? Red-billed gudgeon?"

I knew Chen Yaozu took it seriously by the sound of his voice. He thought for a few seconds and said, "Wait for me, don't hang up. I'll go ask and come back soon."
