Chapter 209 Being ridiculed by the crowd
"Mackerel, a school of mackerel!"
Chen Guanghui stared at the fishing net. The swordfish tasted good and could be sold at a good price in Linhai Town. Moreover, these fish were all quite large.
After everyone pulled up the fishing net, Yu Xiaochuan took a fish from the net, looked at it carefully, and shook his head firmly.
“This isn’t a mackerel.”
"How could that be? I've never caught mackerel, but I've eaten plenty. How could I be wrong?"
But Yu Xiaochuan said firmly: "This is Mayou. It looks a bit like swordfish, but it's more expensive than swordfish."
Song Anning was busy picking up the fish, and nodded affirmatively, and explained to Chen Guanghui:
"Look, Brother Chen, these fish have gray-brown backs and milky white bellies. The swordfish you mentioned has a dark green or bluish-black back and a silvery-white belly, which is different.
Moreover, mackerel are migratory fish, so if you encounter them at this time of year, they should be preparing to migrate to harbors or freshwater areas to spawn."
"Hehe, Sister Aning is right. This is Ma Youyu."
"..."
Chen Guanghui fell silent again. Comparing himself with his master was fine, but now he couldn't even compare to a child. He felt like a waste...
Yu Xiaochuan was afraid of making him angry, so he quickly comforted him: "Second Master, my mother said that ours is called a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child will dig holes.
We have lived in fishing villages for generations, so we naturally know more.
Just like your knowledge of tea leaves is much better than ours."
"..."
Chen Guanghui's grin was very ugly. It was true that he knew something about tea, but he was not very interested in it. Fish was what he liked.
After this series of blows, he was somewhat unwilling to accept the outcome and insisted on leaving behind a net to prove himself.
The fish just caught on the net weighed more than 100 kilograms, but he didn't believe it. If fishing didn't work, maybe casting a net would work?
But the moment he held the net in his hands, all his ambitions vanished into thin air. No! He couldn't cast the net!
It looked so simple to Yu Xiaochuan, but why was it so difficult for me to do it myself?
"Second Master, let me teach you."
Seeing this, Yu Xiaochuan hurriedly got up from the boat and taught him how to cast the net.
How to turn the body, how to use force, and when to throw the net.
After a detailed explanation, Chen Guanghui also found some feeling, at least he could throw the fishing net.
But there was no harvest. The group of fish must have run away. Only a few were pulled up, and they were not big.
With tears in his voice, he shouted, "Master..."
"Don't worry, keep going. Maybe you'll run into some fish. If you don't, don't get discouraged. At least you've learned how to cast a net."
After Song Anning said this, Chen Guanghui finally felt better. Xiaochuan hadn't pulled up anything with the first two nets, so he tried again.
At this time, a large ship slowly approached. Seeing this, the boatman hurriedly rowed to the side. Their boat was not big, and if it collided with the ship, it would definitely break into pieces.
Chen Guanghui was standing in the middle of the boat with a fishing net in his hand. When he saw the people on the boat clearly, his face became very ugly.
"Let's go over there, away from them..."
"who are they?"
Song Anning glanced at the people on the boat. They were well-dressed and followed by servants. They should be the young masters of the town. Chen Guanghui should know them.
"Heh, they're from this town too, and they'll be participating in the competition tomorrow. They're the ones who kept laughing at me for not being able to catch any fish."
After Chen Guanghui explained, Song Anning realized that these were also young men from wealthy families in the town, and they all liked fishing like Chen Guanghui.
But he was much better than Chen Guanghui at fishing. He formed a small group and often made fun of the fact that Chen Guanghui couldn't catch any fish.
At this time, the big ship was gradually approaching. Several people stood at the bow of the ship and looked down at the small boat in front of them. When they saw Chen Guanghui with a group of children, they burst into laughter.
"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be Mr. Chen. Now he's a fisherman instead of fishing?"
"Hey, Chen Lao Er, even if you can't catch any fish, why are you reduced to playing with a bunch of kids? Are you guys playing house? Hahaha..."
"I heard that you will also participate in the competition tomorrow. That would make me feel much more at ease. I won't be ranked last even if I fish with my feet."
"Hahaha……"
The fish that had just been caught online were packed into wooden boxes by several people. These were originally placed on the fishing boat. Otherwise, the fish would go bad after being exposed to the sun for too long, so the few people did not see any fish on the boat.
"Bullshit, can't I just take the kids out to play?"
With Song Anning by his side, Chen Guanghui was full of confidence. He put his hands on his hips and said to those people:
"As for tomorrow's competition, I'm going to participate. Not only will I participate, but I'm also going to take the bounty. Just wait and see."
After he finished speaking, they were stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that they fell over.
"Hahaha, don't tease me, this competition involves more than just people from our town, there are also many from other places.
For someone like you, it would be a waste of time to go there, and you still want to get the bounty, hahaha..."
"Master Chen, I think you are still asleep. Can you just take the bounty? I don't even dare to say that."
"Alright, alright, stop talking like that. Can't you just let me dream?
I heard you found a master. Could it be these kids? Is it the master who plays house? Hahaha..."
"..."
This time Chen Guanghui was really angry, pointing at Song Anning and shouting:
"This is my master. He's a master of fishing. You'll see it tomorrow."
A few people looked at Song An Ning beside them, looked at each other, and laughed again.
"A yellow-haired girl is your master? Hahaha..."
"Are you learning embroidery from this girl? We can't compare with her."
"Second Brother Chen, you are the young master of the Chen family, how could you do something so shameful?
Before, I just couldn’t catch any fish, but from now on, all your jokes will be about the boat, hahahaha…”
At this time, Xiangxiang's voice came into Song Anning's mind again.
"Master, cast your net here, and you will find something."
The laughter from several people not far away became louder and louder. Chen Guanghui wanted to argue, but was stopped by Song Anning.
"Don't let a few irrelevant people bother you. Go to the internet cafe. I think there must be something down there."
After hearing what Song An Ning said, several people shifted the topic to her, with a strong sense of contempt in their tone.
"Hey, little girl, do you know anything about fishing? You're just talking nonsense. I've been to this sea more times than you've seen fish. What kind of fish can there be in this shabby place?"
"That's right, Chen Lao Er, why don't you just listen to Master and cast the net. We can have some fun watching."
The two ignored what they said. Chen Guanghui was a little nervous holding the fishing net in his hand, but after receiving Song Anning's affirmative look, he became more determined.
Turn around, exert force, and throw the net, all in one go.
When he pulled the net up, he felt his hand sink and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Xiaochuan, please help me. Let's pull up the fishing net together."
Several people worked together and focused on the fishing net in front of them. Unexpectedly, they heard laughter from several people again.
"Are you pretending to be good enough for us? Can such a small net really pull up gold?"
"Chen Guanghui, that's enough. If you pull up the net later and it's empty, we'll all be embarrassed for you..."
"Is it so heavy? Is it stuck on the bottom? I thought I could pull up some treasure..."
The laughter stopped abruptly because they saw with their own eyes that there was indeed something in Chen Guanghui's web.
As the fishing net was pulled up little by little, several people widened their eyes and were unable to utter a word.
"Is this okay?"
"I'm not seeing things, this..."
