"It seems that if there is a chance, I still need to find a few more people to help with the sorting." Zheng Gan thought to himself that putting down the net was not very troublesome. The only part that required effort was to pull up the net manually. The most troublesome part was sorting.
The slightly better thing is that their trawl net is a mid-layer net, so there is basically no garbage or debris pulled up. If they use a bottom net, they have to separate the garbage in the net one by one, which is very troublesome.
Another thing is that most of the fish caught in this net are pomfret, but what if the next time the net contains different types of fish? If it all depends on the three of them, they will be exhausted every time.
"Mouse, go back and talk to your dad. See if there's any villager in the village who knows you well, has good character, and has nothing to do at home. We can hire him to help on the boat. As for the salary, that's easy to negotiate. If we just rely on the three of us to sort things out here, we'll probably be exhausted in no time."
As the intelligence chief of this village, isn't it easy and pleasant to find someone?
Lin Hao nodded. "Indeed, I don't feel tired doing heavy work. Squatting here to sort things is really too uncomfortable. I'll ask when I get back."
"I think finding three more people will be enough, so that we can spare some time to set up a trap or longline." Zheng Gan moved his arms. This really can't go on.
The two of them chatted to kill time and regain their strength. As for Jiang Feng? The child had already started drooling.
More than an hour later, Wang Yunzhou's voice came over the intercom, "Agan, I think it's almost done. There should be quite a lot of stuff in the net. The boat's speed has been affected a bit."
Zheng Gan looked at the map and felt that it was about time, so he called Jiang Feng and went to the machine with Lin Hao.
The three of them divided the work and worked together. They first used the net-collecting machine and waited until the net was about to float to the surface. Then they went forward to pull up the net and hung it on both sides of the stern. Then they hung the iron support frame on the crane arm.
Finally, a robotic crane was used to bring up the entire net.
This is the process of closing the net, and it is relatively easy to obtain.
"Not bad, brother." Lin Hao looked at the full net and smiled happily.
Zheng Gan also thought it was okay. Although the red dots inside were not that big, there were many of them. This net was about the same as the previous one, and it should be close to one ton.
As soon as the net was opened, everything inside instantly poured out onto the deck.
"Brother, there are so many knife fish!" Jiang Feng shouted excitedly.
"Not bad, not bad, Agan, you are really good. I didn't expect that both of them exploded after two nets." Wang Yunzhou also came out of the cockpit and was delighted to see the harvest on the deck.
The knife fish is what we often call hairtail, which is a mid-bottom migratory fish. However, it has poor swimming ability. It floats on the surface of the sea during the day and sinks to the bottom of the sea at night. Hairtail tastes very delicious and contains a lot of oil. It is a common table delicacy in our country.
Cutlassfish move in groups. When the weather is cold, they swim deep into the seabed to keep warm. When the weather is warm like now, they come to the coast in groups.
"Now that the sea is open, the price of knife fish is about 30 to 40 yuan per pound." Zheng Gan just felt that it was okay and did not say that he was very satisfied.
Lin Hao and the other two curled their lips when they heard this. Yes, the price is not that high, but don’t you see that this net weighs at least more than a thousand pounds, so fifty thousand yuan is the minimum.
"Uncle Wang, it's almost time. Let's return to the ship and try to get back to the dock as soon as possible."
Wang Yunzhou nodded, turned around and returned to the cockpit to start the return flight.
Zheng Gan and the other two squatted on the ground again and started sorting, taking out all the knife fish and putting the rest of the seafood on the other side.
In addition to fish, the seafood in the net also includes some swimming crabs, prawns and other seafood. They need to be put into the live tank to be raised so that they are still alive when they reach the shore. Otherwise, the prices of dead crabs and shrimps will drop sharply.
As for the fish, since it doesn’t take too long to get to the dock, you can just sort them and put them directly on the deck. If it takes too long, you have to put them in the freezer for storage.
By the time the boat docked, Zheng Gan and the other two were so tired that they didn't want to move anymore.
"They're back! A big ship is back!"
It was around seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still many people waiting at the dock. When they saw Zheng Gan's boat coming, they all swarmed over.
Most of the people here are seafood vendors or hotel purchasers. Occasionally, there are people who want to take advantage of the opening of the sea to buy some seafood. Of course, there are also some who live nearby and come here just to watch the fun.
It’s not that there are no boats coming back, but the ones that came back before were all small boats of about ten meters, and there weren’t anything very good. This large ship of over twenty meters is the first one to come back today.
Under normal circumstances, other people's big ships will return tomorrow, and they will stay at sea for a while longer to ensure that they can get more seafood.
Zheng Gan and his team were an exception. They cast two nets as soon as they went out, and both nets were blown up. Wang Yunzhou was stunned. If the three noobs were not so tired, they could have cast a few more nets.
"Oh my God, am I dazzled? Why are there so many seafood on their ship?" A small seafood buyer was a little shocked when he saw the seafood on the ship.
Not only him, but all the onlookers had a look of surprise on their faces. It was not like they had never seen so many harvests before, but to see so many harvests in such a short time was a little unbelievable.
"Come on, everyone, make way. This boat is our own." Wang Dongqiang also squeezed in with all the employees and started to clear the area directly.
When the small seafood vendors saw that it was Wang Dongqiang, they immediately made way. They didn't dare to offend this local boss, but some buyers of a decent scale were not so easy to deal with.
"Boss Wang, why haven't I heard that you own a boat? Are you going to eat all this seafood by yourself?"
Wang Dongqiang frowned and said with a sullen face, "Excuse me, everyone. This boat is indeed ours. I hope you can give us some courtesy."
Although he was somewhat unhappy, he couldn't give off a domineering impression in front of so many people.
"Okay, since Boss Wang said so, then we have nothing to say." To be honest, they didn't dare to go against Wang Dongqiang. They just saw so many seafood and felt a little unhappy, so they said a few words.
"Uncle Qiang, come quickly and help." Zheng Gan asked weakly for help when he saw Wang Dongqiang.
