Chapter 17 Harvest
It's sea bass.
Ye Qing counted them and found there were about thirty of them.
They are all adult sea bass.
They are all quite large, about half a meter long, and each weighs at least five or six kilograms.
Sea bass is an economic fish with high edible value. It is very popular among fishing enthusiasts and a breeding industry has been formed in the early years.
The price of pure wild sea bass of this size ranges from 60 to 80 yuan per catty.
He was slightly excited.
If all of this is caught in one network, the income can be at least nearly 10,000 yuan. It is definitely an exciting thing to have such a harvest just after going overseas.
He knows.
At this moment, so many people followed him out to sea, showing great trust in him, but everyone was also nervous.
Catching these sea bass is a shot in the arm.
Ye Qing took the intercom and shouted, "Brother-in-law, drive to the right."
"Uncle Li, I told you to close the net, so you just start closing it."
"Let's give it a try."
Zhang Jun frowned, but still adjusted the direction according to Ye Qing's instructions.
Uncle Li's three helpers shrugged their shoulders. It was just the work of the net winch, so they only needed to be responsible for gathering the trawl net.
soon.
They came near the school of sea bass and cast a trawl net over them.
The sea bass were frightened and tried to flee in all directions. Ye Qing watched and was extremely surprised. Except for a few sea bass that panicked and hit the trawl net, the other sea bass actually found the correct direction to escape.
"No wonder no one can catch any fish. Even if this sea area is full of fish, with the cleverness of these fish, it's probably difficult to catch anything."
Ye Qing muttered to himself, of course he couldn't let the sea bass escape, so he controlled the electric eel to block the sea bass's escape route.
The electric eel releases electricity, causing crackling radial lightning to burst out in the sea water, sending out a danger signal, scaring the sea bass so much that it quickly turns around.
These sea bass rushed towards the trawl net like a flock of sheep driven by a sheepdog.
Ye Qing, using the electric eel's perspective, saw that the net had trapped all the sea bass. He was overjoyed and shouted excitedly, "Close the net."
Lao Li and others were stunned.
What are you playing?
It usually takes two or three hours to pull up the trawl net after it is put into the sea.
It has only been fifteen minutes since the net was cast. I guess the trawl net has just been opened in the sea. Now that the net is pulled in, the sea water can be caught.
“Click, click, click.”
Old Li pressed the switch and the winch machine started working.
The other two helpers crossed their arms and looked like they were enjoying the show. They were secretly glad that they didn't act rashly and follow Ye Qing out.
This is too unreliable.
They thought there was no chance of gaining anything, so they leisurely took out their cigarettes and started smoking.
but.
When the trawl was halfway drawn, Old Li, who had been observing, suddenly shouted, "We've got a catch!"
Based on his experience, Lao Li felt that the harvest from this network was not small.
"Is this true?"
"Is Qingzai so lucky?"
The other two helpers murmured, came over to take a look, and were immediately shocked.
They saw a large sea bass hanging on the trawl that had just come out of the sea. It was still struggling hard, splashing sea water on the two men's faces.
"One."
"Two."
"Three..."
Old Li counted excitedly until he couldn't keep up. When the trawl was opened, he saw the other two still standing there in a daze. He shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Get back to work!"
"Oh, okay, okay."
"Holy crap, what a big sea bass."
The three of them swiftly got the sea bass into the fish hold, which was equipped with an oxygen pump, enough to keep the sea bass alive until they returned to the Longwei Island dock.
There were also three female fish that were thrown back into the sea by Uncle Li and his friends.
Ye Qing looked at him and said nothing.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but walk out of the cabin. Looking at the lively sea bass in the fish tank, his face flushed with excitement and he said, "So many!"
"Qingzai's luck is simply unmatched."
Ye Qing smiled and said that this was just the beginning and was just the appetizer.
Their intercoms were buzzing with inquiries.
"Shipment?"
"What, all sea bass?"
"We encountered a school of fish."
"Goddess Mazu, fish have appeared again in the waters of Longwei Island!"
"Very good."
"Qingzai, you're amazing! With so many sea bass, you can sell them for at least ten thousand yuan."
The tone of Ba Shu and others was full of envy.
With just this first network, Ye Qing had already broken even and even made a profit.
They were convinced of Ye Qing's luck.
Uncle Ba made the final statement: "On the sea, luck is also strength!"
Others followed suit in amazement.
Everyone's spirits became high and everyone became excited.
Ye Qing was also very happy.
As the number of fish in the waters of Longwei Island increases, his abilities can be maximized.
If there were too few fish, all the fishermen would not be able to catch any fish, but he was able to catch fish every time he went out to sea, which would be really eye-catching.
It would be bad if you were targeted by someone with ulterior motives and attracted prying eyes or even malicious intent.
He was not afraid.
But he has family, friends, and many people and things that he cares about and worries about, so he needs to keep a low profile.
The only way he could think of to avoid attracting attention too early was to take everyone out to sea to fish.
Everyone benefits, so he won't stand out so much.
Even if the fish he caught was worth more, it could be attributed to good luck.
After a while.
Zhang Jun asked through the intercom: "Qingzai, are you still going to log off?"
Ye Qing scratched his head: "Wait."
Zhang Jun muttered softly, "Hold on tight."
Ye Qing was speechless.
There are no fish in this sea, so it's no use trying to catch them.
After half an hour, Lao Li asked curiously, "Qingzi, do you feel anything?"
Ye Qing shook his head.
Along the way, he actually saw quite a few schools of fish, but they were all small miscellaneous fish.
finally.
When the fishing boat arrived at the deep sea area, the number of fish found increased significantly.
The electric eel moved freely in the sea, like a wild horse galloping across the prairie. Soon, Ye Qing found a suitable target for fishing.
He picked up the intercom and said, "Everyone, get ready. You can log off the internet now."
Uncle Ba immediately asked, "Qingzi, are there any fish here?"
Ye Qing said: "Yes, I have a feeling that I can deliver the goods."
Uncle Ba didn't hesitate at all and shouted, "Okay."
Uncle Jiang and Uncle Mou also responded: "Let's cast the net right away."
All the fishing boats are actually scattered far apart and do not affect each other.
As the saying goes.
The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself.
There are many fish in the sea area where Ye Qing brought them, but whether they can catch them depends on their own ability.
Zhang Jun asked, "Shall we get off the net?"
Ye Qing nodded and shouted, "Next."
His target was a school of golden pomfret, and he used the same method. With the help of electric eels, the trawl net was almost fully loaded.
Looking at the full trawl net coming out of the sea, Zhang Jun, Lao Li and others were stunned.
One drag and one accurate!
It's simply amazing!
Old Li shouted in shock, "Another...another internet outburst!"
The fishing boat was shaking violently. Lao Li reacted quickly and shouted, "Quick, let's get started and pinch the bag!"
This net is too heavy.
They cannot be hoisted onto the boat all at once, otherwise not only will the nets be likely to swell (break), but the center of gravity will shift and the boat will turn upside down.
In this ocean, if you go astray, you're doomed.
At this time.
It's time to test the fishermen's skills.
Lao Li and the other two rushed forward at the same time, divided the fish and shrimp in the net into sections, and hoisted them onto the deck one by one.
The whole process requires sharp eyes, quick hands and swift movements. It is both a physical and technical job.
The net is hoisted, the net is held down (for cushioning), the rope is tied, and then the net is hoisted again, moved horizontally to the deck, the buckles are quickly opened, and the catch is unloaded, one link after another.
Ye Qing admired it and found it very pleasing to the eye.
The next moment.
Uncle Li shouted at him to come and help.
Ye Qing did not dare to delay and immediately took action.
The price of wild golden pomfret is slightly higher than that of farmed golden pomfret, which is about 20 to 31 kilograms. The price fluctuation is determined by the scales on the golden pomfret.
The better the quality, the more expensive it is.
If the golden pomfret is sold to vendors alive, the price can be raised a bit.
The little golden pomfret that had not yet grown up was picked up by Uncle Li and his friends and thrown back into the sea. Ye Qing watched and followed their example.
Burning forests to make fields and draining lakes to fish are courting death.
