Chapter 18: Contentment
After finishing their work, everyone sat down on the deck tiredly, leaning against the mesh hanger and smoking happily.
Tired but happy.
For fishermen, this is a great harvest!
His whole body was filled with joy. Old Li, who was in his early fifties, had wrinkles all over his face from laughing, and he muttered, "Great, so great."
Zhang Jun finished smoking his cigarette, then lit another one and said, "I'd estimate it weighs two or three thousand kilograms!"
Old Li and the other two nodded in agreement.
If I hadn't picked out the small ones and thrown them away, I estimate there would be hundreds of pounds more.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "According to the lowest price, this network would cost at least 50,000 yuan."
Including the sea bass from before.
The fish caught in the two nets are worth at least 60,000 yuan.
If you work in a big city, you probably earn this much in a whole year.
And it only took him an hour!
Even though he had already earned 150,000 yuan before, he was still very excited at this moment.
It's so easy to make money.
Are you catching fish with one net?
No.
It's money!
Lots and lots of money!
At this time.
Uncle Ba's excited voice came from the intercom: "Water is coming out, water is coming out."
"It's been a year, and this is the first time I've harvested so much!"
"Qingzai, thank you, thank you."
"I must set up a table for you when we get back to the village."
Ye Qing laughed and agreed.
For a younger generation like him, having his elders treat him to a drink is definitely something to be proud of.
He asked curiously, "Uncle Ba, how many did you catch?"
Uncle Ba took a deep breath and shouted, "You might not believe this, but this net of mine weighs at least 300 kilograms!"
“Wuwu… Wuwu…”
An old man in his forties cried like a child.
Ye Qing: “…”
That’s it?
As for crying?
Kangzi's voice came from the intercom: "Let's stop talking for now. I'll comfort my dad."
Ye Qing laughed in silence.
Zhang Jun, Lao Li and others also laughed. They were very calm. In front of Ye Qing's explosive net, everything else was nothing.
At this time.
Uncle Jiang and Uncle Mou's excited voices came from the intercom: "Water is coming out again, hahahaha."
"At least two hundred pounds."
"I'm strong here, I have to weigh 500 kilograms."
"Hahaha."
"It's right to follow Qingzi out to sea."
"To be honest, I was crying while collecting the fish just now. After all this year, I can finally feel my heart beating wildly in my chest again!"
They are all good news.
Everyone gains something, and the smallest profit from this net can be three to four thousand yuan.
It's considered a break-even.
In Ye Qing's opinion, this harvest is actually pitifully small, but in the eyes of Ba Shu and others, it is of great significance. It means that they don't have to change their careers and can continue to make a living by fishing.
They can continue to pass on the legacy passed down by their ancestors.
Next.
Ye Qing did not continue to drag the net. The still large school of pomfret scattered after being frightened by the incident.
Even if the electric eel takes action, it will be difficult to form a bursting net.
After a brief rest, Ba Shu and his friends cast their nets again according to their experience, but each time they caught less and less.
Everyone was frightened and didn't dare to put down the net again.
Only when you lose something do you realize how precious it is.
Therefore, they are extremely precious and now we can go out to sea to fish, but we dare not and cannot bear to destroy them.
Ye Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was the only one who knew that it was not because people were overfishing, but because these golden pomfret had "run away with the bucket".
He didn't say anything, but responded, "Okay."
"Set off."
Three hours later.
Before arriving at the sea area where the flying fish were discovered, the school of flying fish had already appeared in Ye Qing's sight.
“Schools of flying fish are also gradually returning.”
Ye Qing observed and sighed that the return of Longwei Island to its former glory was just around the corner. He said through the intercom: "Everyone, please prepare to log off the internet."
Uncle Ba shouted excitedly, "Qingzi, I'm just waiting for your orders."
Everyone was very excited.
The bow cut through the waves and headed into the wind.
this time.
Ye Qing intends to help everyone.
He controlled the electric eel to release electricity and rushed directly into the school of flying fish.
The electric eel flashed sparks and lightning all the way, scaring the flying fish to death.
There was a commotion among the school of flying fish.
The flying fish was aggressive when sprinting. Ye Qing was worried that the electric eel would be injured, so he used the energy of the dragon ball to protect the electric eel throughout the process, and shouted at the same time: "Brother-in-law, full speed ahead!"
"Uncle Li, you can close the net now."
Flying fish are all in shallow areas, and if the trawl net is fully deployed, it will reach the seabed, so there is no need to do that. When the fishing boat is moving at full speed, the trawl net will rise and catch all the flying fish in one net.
Under Ye Qing's command, Zhang Jun steered the fishing boat into the area where the flying fish were most concentrated. Then, just like dumplings being dropped into a pot, the sea surface crackled with sounds, the fish flew up and then fell into the sea, and were finally caught by the trawl net.
Old Li and the others were all stunned.
They have been fishermen all their lives, but they have never seen the spectacular sight of flying fish falling into a trap like moths to a flame.
The goddess Mazu appeared.
This is about catching flying fish from the sea and giving them to them.
Fishing boat next door.
Ba Shu and the others were stunned and all looked dumbfounded.
Kangzi had experienced this once before, so he quickly reacted and shouted, "Dad, don't just stand there, hurry up and welcome the arrival of the flying fish."
"Be enthusiastic."
Uncle Ba was extremely excited and opened the fish hold.
"Pah pah pah."
The flying fish flew directly into the fish tank, which can be said to be very smart.
Next.
Flying fish keep popping up out of the water as if they are free.
Ye Qing’s side was always online.
The two large fish holds were already filled with flying fish, and most importantly, except for a few dead ones, most of them were alive.
With so many flying fish, even if the rich lady Liu Yudie held a buffet for three days and three nights, she would not be able to consume them all. But even if she sold them to Lao Feng and others, it would be enough to make a lot of money.
After the electric eel caused such a commotion, Uncle Ba and the others also reaped a lot of rewards.
Next.
It is the repetitive work of setting the net, pulling it up, collecting the fish, and then setting the net again.
Going out to sea to fish may seem free and easy, but in fact, the whole process is not pleasant, but rather boring.
Uncle Ba and his friends were enjoying themselves so much that they couldn't help themselves.
As night fell, everyone stopped and felt extremely content!
