They filled all the sacks that Zhong Wanwan had brought, and estimated that they weighed over 150 pounds.
After the little ones finished picking up the small fish and shrimp, the hunting team loaded all the big fish onto the tractor.
To be honest, it was fortunate that we listened to Zhong Wanwan and four tractors came, which allowed us to barely load all the fish we had caught.
Even so, it was only because the hunting team, Zhong Wanwan and the others who came to join in the fun, and the little ones didn't ride the tractor that it was enough.
Even without a tractor to ride in, people who are tired after a long day still have to walk back to the farm.
But everyone was very happy to have caught so many fish, especially Director Wei, who was so happy that his teeth were about to crack from the cold, but he still couldn't bear to shut up!
Farm Manager Wei estimated with Mai Sui's uncle:
"This year's fish looks like there are over 10,000 jin (5,000 kg) of them. Each person can get at least 4-5 jin (2-2.5 catties) of fish! It's really a bumper year!"
Uncle Mai nodded and said:
"I just estimated the catch for each net, and it should yield a total of 14,000 jin of fish. Each person on the farm will get at least 5 jin, and the hunting team will get even more this year, 100 jin each!"
The hunting team and the village split the profits 20/80. The hunting team gets 20% of the fish caught each year and the wild animals hunted in the mountains, while the farm gets 80%.
Every year, members of the hunting team can get 20-30 catties of fish, which is a lot compared to others, but it can't compare to this year's 100 catties!
Of course, Uncle Maisui didn't come to give orders for nothing; he was given the same share of fish as the hunting team, also 100 jin (50 kg).
This year, not only did the hunting team make a difference, but Zhong Wanwan and several tractor drivers also deserve credit.
Especially Zhong Wanwan; without her suggestion, the fish wouldn't have been caught so smoothly and so quickly.
It's important to know that the longer the nets are cast during winter fishing, the better. Fish will struggle when they get caught in the nets, and some will inevitably escape if left for too long.
Moreover, it is often the big fish that escape. Big fish are strong, and if they are caught in the net for a long time, they can smash a big hole in the net.
In terms of the number of runs, it's only about one-tenth, but in terms of weight, it's hard to say!
Therefore, Director Wei decided that Zhong Wanwan, Zhong Songbai, and Xia Ning would share the 20% of the fish with the hunting team this time.
Needless to say, Wei Erge and Li Xiaokun, as well as the tractor drivers who were previously in charge of transportation, all shared the spoils with the hunting team.
Ultimately, the hunting team was under Brother Wei's control. Since Director Wei couldn't make the decision alone, he went to Brother Wei's side and discussed it with him:
"Boss, we were able to catch this fish successfully today thanks to Master Zhong, Zhong Zhiqing, and Xia Zhiqing. I'd like them to share the fish with your hunting team. What do you think?"
Before Director Wei even mentioned it, Brother Wei had already been thinking about it. Seeing how happy his father was, he was planning to discuss it with him later, but his father spoke up first!
Brother Wei said matter-of-factly:
"That's to be expected. We're so grateful for Master Zhong's quick thinking this time. Otherwise, we could have lost a lot of big fish and wasted a lot of time!"
"I'll talk to the hunting team later, and they'll definitely have no objections, Dad, don't worry!"
The two agreed, and Brother Wei told the hunting team. Everyone agreed with Brother Wei's point of view and had no objections.
Wang Erlaizi also joked:
"It's all thanks to Master Zhong's sharp mind that he immediately thought of using a tractor to pull the fishing net! I couldn't have come up with that idea even if I thought about it for three days and three nights!"
Wang Erlaizi's straight man also joined in the commotion:
"Of course! What kind of brain does that guy have? He can tell what's wrong with a tractor just by looking at it!"
"How can we compare? When we look at the tractor, we're just like Tang and Bai, who were educated youths, and we've unlocked a couple more positions with the old women at home."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, while Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao were caught in the crossfire with dark expressions.
