"Uncle Wang, you've been very busy these days." Zheng Gan was chatting with the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "What's the hardship? I've worked with Brother Dong for so many years, so naturally there's no doubt about the relationship. You're Brother Dong's son-in-law, so let's not be so formal."
This Uncle Wang is called Wang Yunzhou, the experienced captain that Qiao Zhengdong mentioned. The two have worked together for more than ten years and their relationship is almost like that of brothers.
"Your previous salary was 25,000 yuan a month. Can we continue with this? As for the bonus, we'll calculate it for you after we see what we gain from going out," Zheng Gan said.
"Okay, no problem." Wang Yunzhou nodded. His salary remained the same, and his relationship was maintained by Qiao Zhengdong, so it was pretty good.
There were four people on the boat this time. Zheng Gan was responsible for exploring the fish schools, Lin Hao and Jiang Feng were responsible for setting the nets and trawling, and Wang Yunzhou was responsible for driving the boat and doing some other things on the boat.
Although there are not many people, we can still do it with some hard work. After all, there are not so many trustworthy people.
The sacrificial ceremony began soon, and some county leaders in charge of fisheries also came to the scene. After the speech, all the fishermen who went out to sea began to kneel down, firecrackers and fireworks were lit at the same time, and the scene was immediately filled with cheers.
"Open the sea!"
The entire dock began to become a commotion. The fishermen got on the boats as quickly as possible, and all the fishing boats began to sail out of the dock in an orderly manner. The scene was very spectacular.
"Let's go too, Uncle Wang." Zheng Gan gave the order excitedly.
Wang Yunzhou responded, and the fishing boat slowly followed the large group in front and left the dock!
......
Zheng Gan's boat is mainly used for trawl nets. There are two types of trawl nets. One is in the middle water surface. This type of trawl net must use the speed of the boat to carry the net all the time and move forward, so that the fish can enter the net.
This type of mid-layer net can catch a large number of sea fish in the middle layer, and it is not easy to get stuck. However, it also has a disadvantage, which is that the boat needs to be kept running all the time, otherwise the net will lose power and easily sink to the bottom of the sea.
The other is the common bottom net, which is also the most common method. The net is sunk to the bottom of the sea and then dragged. There is basically no empty net in this method. Even if no fish is caught, shrimps and crabs on the bottom of the sea can be dragged.
However, the bottom support net is very easy to get stuck, which is very troublesome once it gets stuck.
"Uncle Wang, for this first net I plan to use a mid-level net and drag it once to see how it goes." Zheng Gan was discussing the plan with Wang Yunzhou in the cab.
Wang Yunzhou thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, since this is the first net, it's better to go down and see the situation."
In fact, he was still inclined to go directly to the bottom net, but now his boss was Zheng Gan, and it was the first net, so he didn't say much.
Zheng Gan understood Wang Yunzhou's expression, but he was different from ordinary people. His ability to detect fish schools was probably unmatched by anyone in the world. As long as he cast the net, it was like fishing directly from the sea.
"Okay, I'll go outside and check the situation. Wait for my notification."
Wang Yunzhou shook his head, thinking that he would talk to him after searching online for a while and finding nothing.
When he came to the deck, Zheng Gan put all his attention on the map. He had to observe the surrounding situation at all times, not only the schools of sea fish, but also other fishing boats to avoid collisions.
"Xiao Feng, get some sea water to rinse the net a few times before you cast it. This way, the net won't get tangled easily." Lin Hao was teaching Jiang Feng some basic methods.
"Okay, Hao."
Jiang Feng is quite efficient at work, and with his improved nutrition recently, he is not as thin as before, so he can definitely help the two of them.
In fact, it is not very difficult to cast a net. As long as you control the speed of the boat and throw the buoy on the head of the net, the trawl net will automatically follow the boat. So the most difficult thing is to find the place to cast the net.
More than two hours later, Zheng Gan finally picked up the intercom.
"Uncle Wang, head northeast for one nautical mile, then reduce the boat speed to five knots and continue sailing."
Wang Yunzhou responded and quickly adjusted the direction and drove in the direction he was asked.
"Haozi, Xiaofeng, get ready, we'll cast the net soon." Zheng Gan quickly came to the two of them and said, and helped them cast the net.
Their net was made up of several nets connected together, forming a long net of more than 600 meters. With Zheng Gan's order, the buoy was thrown and the net was quickly lowered.
"Okay, Uncle Wang, let's keep going at this speed."
Zheng Gan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. The net had been lowered, and all that was left was to wait two or three hours before pulling it up.
"Don't worry, brother, our first network will definitely explode!" Lin Hao came over and said with a smile.
"Of course! Have you forgotten my nickname? Son of the Sea!" Zheng Gan said arrogantly, "Wherever I appear in the sea, there's basically no grass growing and no fish left."
Wang Yunzhou in the cockpit listened to Zheng Gan bragging and shook his head and laughed. In his eyes, the boy was a good boy, but he was young and ignorant, and his net broke. Even an old captain like him who had been at sea for more than ten years could not guarantee that he would get a catch with every net.
"I'll tell him about my experience after I get online." Wang Yunzhou thought so in his heart, but after three hours of surfing the Internet, his jaw almost dropped.
The next three hours were relatively leisurely, as the three of them sat on the deck and chatted. Zheng Gan would occasionally use a map to check the situation in the sea and the net, to see if there were any deviations in the route, and to see how much the net had caught. If it was full, he could collect it in advance.
"By the way, Afeng, I haven't told you about your salary after you get on board." Zheng Gan suddenly remembered that he hadn't told you about the child's salary yet.
Jiang Feng has already resigned from Dongqiang Aquatic Products and will work on the boat to make a living.
"Brother, just give me as much as you can. I gave you too much before."
Zheng Gan waved his hand and said, "Well, the base salary will be 8,000 yuan a month, with a bonus at the end of the month. We'll raise your salary as you gain more experience."
"Eight...eight thousand!" Jiang Feng was stunned. When it was five thousand yuan before, he felt that the amount of money was too much, but now it has increased to eight thousand yuan.
"Why do you think it's too little?" Zheng Gan joked. This salary is actually not really low. It is basically the salary of a skilled fisherman. But this is his own brother. What's wrong with giving him a higher salary? It's not illegal. You know, grandma's family basically relies on Jiang Feng's salary to pay off their debts.
