Jiang Feng seemed particularly excited about his first time going out to sea. After getting on the boat, he kept looking around and shouting, finally looking like a young man.
"Xiaofeng, are you seasick?" Zheng Gan asked.
Jiang Feng shook his head. "No, I just felt a little shaky, nothing special."
"Okay, it seems you can make a living from this."
For a young man who had never been on a boat before, it was very good that he did not have any reaction when he took a boat for the first time. He could be considered to have met the most basic requirements.
"After a while, I will sign you up for boat driving lessons and get a certificate. This can be considered a skill." Zheng Gan said. In fact, not only did he want Jiang Feng to learn, he himself also wanted to learn how to drive a boat. Otherwise, Lin Hao would drive every time. What if Lin Hao had something to do one day and he wouldn't be able to go out to sea.
Soon the boat docked at the abandoned pier on the island. The three of them got off the boat with their belongings and headed straight for the reef area.
While on the way, Zheng Gan and Lin Hao kept explaining to Jiang Feng some of the most basic aspects of sea fishing, especially the safety aspect. Even if they didn't make any money, they must ensure their own safety.
"We're here. This is the reef area we came to before. We must look carefully at every crevice in the rocks. There might be something good hidden inside." Zheng Gan said as he took out several large spicy snails from the crevices of the reef.
"Not bad, this is a large yellow-mouthed spicy snail." Lin Hao was a little happy. The price of this thing is very good now. The key is that the large spicy snails appear in nests.
The yellow-mouthed spicy snail is actually a kind of spicy snail, but the edge of its mouth is yellow, and its size is several times that of ordinary spicy snails. This spicy snail tastes delicious and is a very good dish to go with wine.
The bigger the size, the more expensive it is. The normal market price is around 80 yuan.
"Let's get started. Today's harvest depends on this." Zheng Gan had already seen from the map that this reef area was densely packed with red dots, which should all be large yellow-mouthed spicy snails.
Jiang Feng had also learned some basic knowledge in the past few days and knew the price of the yellow-mouthed spicy snail. He was now squatting down excitedly, and his little hands kept scratching the reef.
"Be careful with your steps, these rocks are a bit slippery." Zheng Gan gave a few instructions and started working.
The tide is still receding, so the danger is relatively low. Don't worry, Jiang Feng can do it alone. If the tide rises, there will be a possibility of danger, so you have to be careful at that time.
The three of them squatted in the reef area and worked very hard, especially Jiang Feng. It was his first time, and he would exclaim from time to time, saying that he had picked up a big spicy snail.
People who go to the sea for the first time are like this. No matter what they pick up, they will be very excited. They will not change until they get used to it. Just like Zheng Gan, there is basically no big psychological fluctuation for seafood worth less than 100 yuan.
Of course, he was just showing off because he had cheats, so it can't be regarded as a normal state.
"Oh my God, Brother Hao, I found a legendary spicy snail nest here!" Jiang Feng shouted excitedly.
"Okay, okay, congratulations. Keep up the good work." Zheng Gan responded weakly. The three of them had been picking up trash for an hour and a half. His waist had become numb after squatting for so long.
Seeing this, Lin Hao immediately mocked him, "If you ask me, brother, you should bring a small stool with you next time. With your waist, tsk tsk tsk."
"Just look at me and ignore you."
Zheng Gan just gave up, found a relatively flat reef, lit a cigarette and lay down. Since Jiang Feng was there to help him, he could just take a break with a clear conscience.
"Haozi, do you think we should prepare to go and look into ordering a boat?" Zheng Gan said comfortably, blowing out a smoke ring.
Although there are still two months before the ship goes out to sea, the ship needs to be built immediately, so it will not be delayed if it is decided early.
"What are you looking at? My sister-in-law has so many boats. You can just take one away when the time comes." Lin Hao replied casually without even raising his head.
Zheng Gan was furious when he heard this. "Get out of here! I have a very good stomach and I'm not suitable for living off women. Do you understand?"
"Haha." Lin Hao laughed disdainfully. "You don't want to eat soft rice and want to eat hard rice? Well, you decide for yourself. If you want to buy it, just buy it. I'll just pay for it."
A boat that can be used for fishing and casting nets is very expensive. If one's requirements are a little higher, it can easily cost over a million. At this time, Zheng Gan only had about 200,000 yuan left in his hand, apart from the money he had saved for his marriage.
However, you can pay a deposit first and then pay the remaining balance when the ship is delivered.
"Ah." Zheng Gan sighed and climbed up from the reef, "It seems that now is not the time to be lazy."
He felt very sad when he thought about spending so much money to buy a boat, as he had earned it with great effort.
"Actually, it would be nice to have someone who can live off me." Zheng Gan secretly fantasized in his heart.
......
The three of them worked for nearly four hours before they completely cleared out the yellow-mouthed snails in the area, leaving only scattered red dots on the map.
"Okay, let's go back. There's almost nothing left here." Zheng Gan stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this time, there were four large snakeskin bags beside them, which were full of large spicy snails.
"Okay." Lin Hao looked around and saw that most of the things around him had been picked up.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, looked reluctant. He wanted to stay here and not miss out on anything worth 80 yuan per pound.
"Okay, okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's getting late, and the tide is about to rise. Let's hurry up and load all the harvest today onto the boat." Zheng Gan patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder and comforted him.
Since everyone said so, Jiang Feng could only nod reluctantly.
It took the three of them two trips to move all the big snails onto the boat. The main reason was that Zheng Gan and Jiang Feng were not strong enough. Only the two of them could lift a snakeskin bag, which seriously affected the time.
"Brother, these big spicy snails weigh a total of 407 kilograms." Lin Hao weighed all the big spicy snails.
"That's just over 30,000 yuan?" Jiang Feng clicked his tongue. Fortunately, he had studied with Xiao Yu for a while in advance. If it was when he first arrived, his jaw would have dropped.
"It's just a drizzle, don't take it to heart." Zheng Gan waved his hand pretentiously, "I'll give you a thousand yuan as hard work fee when we get back."
This amount of money is actually not small. After all, Jiang Feng is still an apprentice and it is not considered as formal help, so a thousand yuan is enough.
"I don't want it, brother. I'm just here to learn. Please don't give it to me. Besides, my monthly salary is enough for me to spend, and I can even mail a lot back home." Jiang Feng would definitely refuse. In his eyes, these seafood today had nothing to do with him. He just made a simple effort. It was nothing.
