Returning to 1990, Starting with a Big Catch

Feng Ye just wanted to save someone who had fallen into the sea, but he didn't expect to drag himself down with them, returning to 1990.

He also wanted to do business with the Russians, t...

Chapter 850 The Income from Yesterday's Net

The next morning, shortly after Feng Ye got up to take over his shift, he received a call from Feng Xuan.

"Ah Ye, where are you located right now? Send me your coordinates."

Feng Ye quickly checked the locator and reported a string of numbers.

"Okay, I got it. We'll meet up in about half an hour."

Feng Xuan paused for a moment, then asked, "How was our harvest after we left? Did we encounter any schools of fish?"

"It was alright, not bad. Schools of fish aren't easy to come by, but we did encounter a group of killer whales, who even gave us a great white shark."

"Really? Tell me more."

Feng Ye then began by recounting how he went down to clean the deck after they left, continuing until the orca had eaten its fill and left.

Feng Xuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, these orcas are really interesting. They actually trade great white sharks for food. Your experience is quite legendary."

Feng Ye laughed and said, "Yes, it was quite a scene back then. A group of orcas surrounded the boat, scrambling for the fish and shrimp we threw down."

"Alas, it's a pity we missed it."

Feng Xuan sighed, somewhat regretfully, "If only we had left a little later, we could have fed them too."

"There's nothing we can do, things just happen by chance."

Feng Ye then changed the subject, asking, "Did your landing in the county go smoothly this time?"

"It went very smoothly. We arrived at the county dock around 8 p.m. last night. As soon as we docked, I went to Jinghong. It was a coincidence that when I got to Jinghong, I ran into President Qin who was about to go out, which saved me a lot of trouble."

"What price did Mr. Qin offer?"

"That's good. Yellowfin tuna is 6.5 yuan and bigeye tuna is 9 yuan."

Feng Ye nodded: "This price is indeed good."

There are too many items; it's already quite a bargain to be offered this price.

Even if you take them to the market, you might not be able to sell them for a higher price.

Of course, pricing each item separately might yield higher prices, but it would also be more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

They caught so many tuna this time, more than a hundred in total across the three boats, that processing them all at once saved a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Feng Ye suddenly had a jolt and quickly asked, "Did President Qin take all the tuna from our three boats?"

His concerns were not unfounded.

Jinghong is just a restaurant; it's impossible for it to consume so much tuna all at once.

"Yes, we accepted them all."

Feng Xuan laughed loudly, "At first, President Qin thought we only had a few. When he heard me say there were more than a hundred and weighed more than 10,000 jin, he was shocked and thought I was joking."

He didn't believe it until we brought the tuna over and he saw it in person, and he immediately decided to buy it all.

Feng Ye smiled and said, "I told you to take them to Jinghong. Otherwise, if we take all these fish to the market, how long will it take to sell them?"

He didn't delve into how Qin Aijun would handle so many tuna; if he dared to buy them, he must have a way to consume them.

Besides, Feng Xuan might not even know, so why bother asking?

"That's true. Luckily, the tuna was sold to President Qin, and the rest, along with the bomb fish, were sold directly to the fishmongers at the dock, which saved a lot of time and allowed us to get back so quickly."

"How much did it weigh in total? How much did it sell for?"

This is what Feng Ye most wants to know.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look at the form."

A moment later, Feng Xuan excitedly reported the data: "The cargo from our two ships was not separated and was weighed together: 4268 jin of yellowfin tuna and 2856 jin of bigeye tuna."

The bomb fish weighs 1 jin (approximately 500 grams) and costs only 9 cents per jin.

Adding in other miscellaneous items, it just rounded up to a whole number, totaling [amount] yuan.

Feng Ye was overjoyed to hear this.

More than 60,000 yuan, which is basically the income from yesterday's net.

The day before yesterday afternoon, they had just sold a batch of goods to a cargo ship that had been fishing the night before, and the cargo on the ship was only what they had caught the night before, so it wasn't a lot.

"What about Uncle Jun?"

"It seems there were several pieces in total, but I don't remember the exact number."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhaojun's voice rang out: "There were chunks of tuna, and after sorting the tuna, there were only a few kilograms left, which sold for a little over 3,000 yuan."

This large school of fish brought them a catch of over 90,000 yuan across the three boats.

This voyage yielded far more than expected, and everyone was overjoyed.

But human desires are endless; everyone wants more and looks forward to the harvest in the next few days.

There is still more than a week until the scheduled return flight.

After the video call ended, Feng Ye told Ye Chenliang and the others to go to the stern and haul in the net.

This catch has been dragging on for over two hours, and it's almost time to bring it in.

After rendezvous with the Dong Sheng, the ship will need to stop and move together to unload supplies.

When the boat is stopped, it is best to reel in the trawl net to prevent it from getting caught on the bottom after sinking.

The water is deep here, and no one can say for sure what the seabed is like. If there are reefs or debris, it would be troublesome if the trawl net got caught.

After the trawl nets were hauled onto the ship, the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships still hadn't arrived, so Feng Ye simply sailed his ship to meet them.

Before long, two ships came into view side by side in the distance.

Once the connection was confirmed, the Harvest began its trawling operation.

Their two ships continued to move closer together, and then they unloaded the purchased supplies onto the Donglai.

"These are the sales and purchase orders. Take a look."

After Feng Xuan came over, he handed Feng Ye several receipts.

Feng Ye took the document and glanced at it briefly.

There were only two receipts, one of which was for tuna, and he already knew exactly what it was.

The other picture shows bomb fish and other fish and shrimp, listing the weight and price of each type in detail. It's a long list, but the total price is only a little over ten thousand.

The other items were all expenses, including ice, diesel, fresh water, and purchases of grains, oils, vegetables, and meat, each item clearly listed.

After looking at it, he returned it: "Ah-Can just went to sleep, so don't disturb him. Give it to him together after we return. Keep the money with you for now, don't bring it over, to avoid trouble."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

With two boats, it's impossible for them to immediately hand over the money and receipts to Feng Ye and A Can for safekeeping after each sale.

Especially when selling to fresh seafood ships at sea, the process of handling, weighing, and settling accounts is cumbersome and time-consuming, so there's no need to waste time waiting.

Instead of wasting time, you should go fishing and catch more fish.
