Anyway, it's the fishing ban period now, so ordinary fish are easy to sell and the prices aren't low, which is a great deal!

With a goal in mind, Chen Hong began planning her voyage. She first explained the itinerary to Xiao Yun, Director Jin, and others.

After arranging household chores and preparing food and fishing gear, I've finished everything else.

At three o'clock that morning, Chen Hong took Black Tiger and drove to the dock.

After buying ice and filling the fuel tank, with the help of Uncle Erhu, we loaded all the fishing gear onto the fishing boat.

Guided by the morning star, Chen Hong, with Black Tiger in tow, sailed away from the dock and headed into the depths of the sea.

A day later, Chen Hong was already diving and harvesting fish near the small islands of Nagasaki Goto.

A wide variety of seafood products, including mackerel, salmon, sea bream, saury, squid, bonito, lobster, crab, sea urchin, and conch.

Chen Hong looked at them all and didn't miss any; as long as they met the size requirements, she put them all into her space.

As the empty plastic boxes were filled with fish again, rows of them filled the empty space.

Another bumper harvest! This catch will last her for a while.

Looking back at the sea area where he had stayed, Chen Hong couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He thought to himself, maybe she really was the ancestor of the Japanese in her previous life. Look how thoroughly she implemented the Three Alls Policy.

Apart from seaweed drifting with the ocean currents and jagged reefs, there are hardly any large fish or shellfish visible to the naked eye on the seabed.

The barren seabed tells the story of Chen Hongyan's ruthless habit of plucking feathers.

Chen Hong stroked her chin and gave a bright, wry smile. "That was a bit much!"

Looking at the space full of her catch, Chen Hong began to slow down her pace of harvesting fish and started looking for high-end seafood.

She specifically searches for sea cucumbers, abalone, conch, scallops, oysters, golden-eyed sea bream, red sea bream, and various groupers on the seabed.

She wouldn't let any seafood or catch that was a bit pricey pass her by, and she would plunder the catch until her hands were sore.

She even collected a large group of sardines. Although they weren't very valuable, they could serve as food for the expensive fish species she raised in her space.

After three days of wandering in the waters off the five islands of Nagasaki, Chen Hong had practically burst the space.

It was time to go home. Chen Hong packed up the fishing boat, filled it with the catch, and set sail home.

After finishing shipping the goods at the dock, Chen Hong drove home with Black Tiger.

The boatload sold for over 600,000 yuan. Although the catch didn't include any high-end seafood, it was plentiful and fresh, and both the supplier and the buyer were very satisfied.

Although Zhang Baiqiang was a little disappointed, he felt it was only natural.

Yes, if Chen Hong could bring back a large quantity of bluefin tuna every time she went out to sea, then she wouldn't be fishing, but rather buying seafood from a Japanese seafood market.

The ocean is so vast, how could there be so many bluefin tuna lying still in the sea, waiting for Chen Hong to catch them?

Compared to most fishermen, Chen Hong is undoubtedly the luckiest. Her swimming skills are also far beyond those of ordinary people, but it is already quite amazing that she never comes empty-handed.

How can you expect to catch bluefin tuna every time you want to?

Zhang Baiqiang also realized that their families were now too dependent on Chen Hong.

However, we can't do without them either. It's the fishing ban season now, and there aren't many fishing boats going out to sea to begin with. Most of them have stopped sailing.

The few fishing boats that go out to sea don't catch much either. The market is huge, but the catch is meager. As soon as the fishing boats dock, they are overwhelmed by fishmongers and purchasing staff from restaurants and hotels.

Even ordinary seafood is hard to come by, let alone high-end seafood.

In order to maintain their respective market share, major hotels and restaurants have come up with all sorts of tricks to entice and win over fishermen to provide them with a stable supply of goods.

Only by spending more money and giving up some profits can one avoid being squeezed out of the catering market by competitors.

Fortunately, the fishing ban will soon be over, and he will no longer need to act as a debt collector, calling Chen Hong every day to urge her to go out to sea to fish and supply goods.

He also knew that Chen Hong was not short of money, and that going out to sea to fish was a way of taking care of them.

He was afraid that if he kept urging her like this, the friendship between the two families would be broken. After more than a year of getting to know each other, he also knew that Chen Hong was not a weak or indecisive person.

People supply them out of consideration for past relationships; it's not that they can't do without them.

But they were in a dilemma. They were under a lot of pressure from work and life, and since they could rely on Chen Hong, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and beg her for help.

This was damaging to their relationship, and Zhang Baiqiang was helpless. He could only hope that the fishing ban would end soon and the fishing season would reopen.

He wouldn't have to make things difficult for Chen Hong, nor for himself!

Besides leaving the fish for the hotel, Chen Hong also kept over 100 jin of abalone and 300-400 jin of scallops for herself this time.

Now that there are many people in the family and enough hands to do the work, Chen Hong left these seafood so that they could help open the clams and dig for pearls.

The shellfish meat that was dug out was ready to be dried. When they returned to Beijing, each family could take a big bag with them, so Chen Hong wouldn't have to go to the courier point to mail it anymore.

I'll take the dried goods I made myself home; they'll definitely taste even better later.

The pearls extracted from them are not as large as those from pearl oysters in the Sea of ​​Japan, and the yield is also lower.

The seabed around the Nagasaki Goto Islands has probably been salvaged several times already!

However, Chen Hong didn't take it seriously. She was just trying to find some work for everyone. Director Jin and the others went to the orchard a few times and set their sights on her family's Laiyang pears.

I nagged her every day, hoping she would pick the pears soon.

Walnuts in July, pears in August, and persimmons turn red in September.

This "August" refers to the lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar. The crops won't ripen and be harvested until late September in the Gregorian calendar.

Although the pears have grown to a considerable size, they are still in the juicing stage, a crucial period for accumulating sugar. It is absolutely not advisable to pick them now.
