Chapter 432: What fell was a black iron lump
Wu Hongliang and his crew had indeed communicated with the Fish God many times and had gained experience. They determined the direction in which the Fish God appeared and immediately called the crew.
"Boss Wu, let me try too."
A Biao quickly finished the noodles and stood up.
Apeng and Axiu also followed.
Wu Siwang hesitated and looked at Su Chen.
"Let's go, brother-in-law, let's go together."
The fishing net was very heavy. The two little guys, Apeng and Axiu, pulled it for most of the day, grinning. They didn't notice that the fishing net in front of them had already been lowered and the anchor had been dropped. They were almost dragged down and were quickly grabbed by Su Chen's collars.
Wu Siwang saw Old Man Su and was startled.
Seeing that everyone was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Old man Su was in a rare good temper, and now he rolled up his sleeves to teach these two tactless children a lesson.
Su Chen didn't stop him.
In the end, Old Man Su couldn't bear to do it. He just hit one person on the head and asked sternly, "Will you dare to do it again next time?"
"I don't dare anymore~" Apeng and Axiu shook their heads repeatedly.
Wu Hongliang reminded: "Be extra careful when setting out the fishing nets. Not only you little brats, but even us adults can be easily dragged down. Be more careful next time, okay?"
Apeng and Axiu nodded obediently.
Su Chen looked at the sea.
A big white fish swam over and seemed to have discovered the fishing net. It flapped its wings below, as if trying to check the situation of the net, and then swam away.
A Biao was curious: "Boss Wu, why did the Fish God leave?"
One crew member explained: "We are not leaving, we are going to catch fish."
"Ah? To get the fish to come and get into the net?"
"Of course, the Fish God is very powerful. We have returned with a full load like this many times."
A Biao gave a thumbs up.
Wu Hongliang sighed: "What a pity, today's fish are Spanish mackerel, which is not expensive."
"Otherwise I can get rich again."
Ah Biao waved his hand: "Hey, we are just out to sea for fun, not fishing. We will be happy if we can catch fish, right brother?"
Su Chen nodded: "Swordfish is also delicious."
"That's right. After drying it and cooking it, I can eat two big bowls of porridge."
As he was speaking, the fish god jumped out of the sea in the distance.
Wu Hongliang reminded: "It's started, it's started!"
A Kui, Feng Qiu Shui, Liu Chunhua and others also came over to watch the fun.
Big white fish would occasionally surface and swim very fast. By looking at their positions, one could estimate the range of the school.
Wu Hongliang reminded: "Prepare to pull the net!"
The crew members immediately stood up and divided the work.
Wu Hongliang stood next to the net-lifting machine.
Old man Su rubbed his hands excitedly. He knew his own weight, so he didn't stand forward, but stood to the side, and observed the actions of other crew members from time to time.
Sun Meihua had already dragged several large buckets over swiftly.
The fish god rushed towards the fishing boat, then jumped high, passed the people at the stern, and landed on the side of the fishing boat. Wu Hongliang turned on the net-lifting machine.
After a while, the anchor was pulled up first.
The two crew members quickly removed the anchor.
After a while, the fishing net was pulled up.
A crew member looked over.
"Are there a lot?" A Biao asked, clinging to his shoulder and looking down, he exclaimed, "I see, I see, quite a few fish!"
After waiting for a while, he said: "Wow, that's a lot!"
He glanced doubtfully at the deck again: "Will our boat be able to accommodate it later?"
"Don't worry, it's just one net."
"There's a cabin down there." Lin Jingyu explained, then reminded, "Brother Biao, hold on to my arm!"
"You still want to take pictures?"
"What else? We don't make a living by fishing. We're out here for fun. Taking pictures is to record our lives, understand?"
"I don't understand. Please move aside and don't delay me from catching the fishing net!"
Lin Jingyu: “…”
While he was feeling depressed, Su Chen reached out to steady his body, and even lifted him up easily, with his upper body even out of the range of the fishing boat.
Lin Jingyu was startled at first, but then quickly calmed down and pressed the shutter button quickly.
"Here they come, there are so many!"
As the winch rolled, the fishing net was pulled up little by little, and the crew stood on the side to assist in pulling the net.
After a while, the fish came up.
When Liu Chunhua saw so many swordfish coming up, she stuffed little Ayun into Qiyue's arms.
"Hurry, hurry, catch the fish, catch the fish, don't let them jump out and escape!"
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
There were constant shouts and cries.
With Su Chen's help, Lin Jingyu quickly used up a roll of film. When replacing it, she couldn't help but remind him, "Mom, watch your hands! Don't get cut!"
Feng Qiushui didn't even raise his head and replied perfunctorily: "Yeah, I understand!"
Then he watched Sun Meihua's actions and tried to pick up the fish in the same way. However, when his hands touched the fish, he was always frightened by the sudden movement of the fish, and he couldn't pick up a single one for a long time.
In comparison, A Kui and Liu Chunhua are much more agile. The former is because she is naturally strong, and the latter is because she has been doing farm work for many years and has many calluses on her hands, so she is not afraid of being cut by fish scales.
The veins on Old Man Su's arms were bulging. After gritting his teeth and cooperating with the crew to pull up all the fishing nets, he became completely exhausted, leaning his back against the railing and gasping for breath.
"Why is it so heavy?"
He couldn't help but complain.
He wasn't so tired when he went fishing before.
A Biao nodded in agreement.
"It's a good thing we have machines to help us pull it, otherwise it would be really difficult for just the few of us."
"That's a lot of swordfish, Boss Wu. Does it weigh a thousand pounds?"
Wu Hongliang glanced at it and said, "About 1,500 kilograms."
Ah Biao was very proud and high-fived Old Man Su: "We are so awesome! We caught 1,500 kilograms on our first try. Awesome!"
Ah Kui reminded: "Don't be so arrogant, come and help pick it up. Sister Sun said that we need to pick out the miscellaneous fish in here so that we can put them in the cabin."
Su Xiaozhu reminded: "There are also prawns and crabs. Pick them out and make snacks for them later."
As Sun Meihua picked at the incense, she sighed, "It seems the fish god we're offering this time really likes it. Previously, the fish he helped herd with was only about 800 kilograms, but this time, there are so many!"
Wu Hongliang nodded. "The Fish God must have swum quite far to discover such a large school of Spanish mackerel. Even if he didn't know the price of the fish, if he could catch some yellow croaker, even if it was only two or three hundred kilograms, he would have made a fortune!"
Liu Chunhua said casually: "Talk to the Fish God in detail, it will understand."
"Let me tell you, these fairies not only understand what we say, they can even speak human language. The squirrel fairy from Longgang Mountain even gives me gold so I can buy food!"
Liu Chunhua realized belatedly that she had exposed the matter of the gold and immediately shut up.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on the gold. They asked in surprise whether what he said was true.
They didn't quite believe what Liu Chunhua said, so their eyes naturally fell on Su Chen.
"It depends on the situation." Su Chen explained, "The squirrel fairy on Longgang Mountain must have a great opportunity, so she can speak human language. The fish god... is not quite there yet, but I have no problem communicating with it."
Su Chen looked at Wu Hongliang and said, "Boss Wu, do we have any expensive fish on board? I'll talk to the Fish God about it. Just give him a heads up?"
Wu Hongliang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Goodbye, it's already a blessing for us that the Fish God drives fish for us. Whether it's a lot or a little, it's a blessing, and we should be grateful. How dare we ask for more?"
Just as he finished speaking, a plop sounded again.
Everyone: "???"
There are fish again?
Turning around, I saw that what had just fallen on the deck was a black iron lump.
