Zheng Gan and the other two had already collapsed on the deck like mud. Sorting the seafood twice was like taking their lives. Their arms were sore and their waists could hardly lift up.
"You are still young, but you are already like this after doing this kind of work. You are not as good as me, a middle-aged and elderly person." Wang Dongqiang laughed while directing the employees to go on board to help.
"How can we compare to you who are still strong and healthy?" Zheng Gan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to argue with him.
At this time, a large group of people from home also rushed over and boarded the boat to help.
As soon as Qiao Xin got on the boat, she went towards Zheng Gan. Seeing her man so tired, she felt so distressed and hurried to help rub his arms and waist.
This made Qiao Zhengdong's brows twitch. He snorted coldly and went to find Wang Yunzhou to inquire about the situation.
Lin Gang and his wife, Qiao Xin's mother, and her uncle and aunt saw so many seafood on the boat, and they all helped to clean up with a smile.
"Brother Dong, I'm really impressed by your son-in-law. You don't know, but we only cast two nets, just two nets, and ended up hauling up three to four thousand kilograms of fish. This is almost the same as the daily catch of our three boats before." Wang Yunzhou was already impressed by Zheng Gan at this time. He had been worried that this young man lacked experience, but he didn't expect him to be so awesome.
Although Qiao Zhengdong was also shocked, he still refused to admit defeat. "Humph, he is just lucky. He is still far behind us old guys."
When Wang Yunzhou heard this, he understood that his father-in-law didn't want to be seen in public as being inferior to his own son-in-law, so he immediately started praising Qiao Zhengdong for how great he was in the past.
Only then did Qiao Zhengdong nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the deck with his hands behind his back to help tidy up.
The onlookers on the dock were filled with envy and jealousy as they watched the baskets of seafood being carried down.
Many people came to help, so the three or four thousand kilograms of seafood on the ship were quickly packed up.
"Agan, it's all done." Wang Dongqiang had a smile on his face the whole time and was obviously very happy.
Zheng Gan had also recovered some of his strength by this time, and he also said with a smile, "How much is it in total, Uncle Qiang? We didn't have time to weigh it before."
After finishing the work, it’s time to start settling the accounts.
"The silver pomfret weighs a total of 1,652 kilograms. These are quite large, so I'll give them to you at 50 yuan per kilogram. The knife fish weighs a total of 1,467 kilograms, so I'll give them to you at 40 yuan." Wang Dongqiang thought for a moment and said, "As for the other miscellaneous seafood, we'll tell you after we sort them out one by one when we get back."
Zheng Gan nodded. This price was already very good. The silver pomfret and knife fish sold for more than 140,000 yuan in total. The other shrimps, crabs, and fish could probably be sold for about 18,000 yuan.
In other words, in just one day out at sea, they had managed to get at least 150,000 worth of seafood! After deducting the costs of labor and fuel, the profit of 130,000 yuan was basically guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Zheng Gan sucked his teeth. It was better to go out to sea to make money. The profit was much higher than fishing. In just one day, he made 130,000 yuan, and that was with only two nets.
He found Wang Yunzhou, Lin Hao and Jiang Feng and briefly told them about today's harvest.
"Uncle Wang, today's harvest is very good. Would you mind giving you a bonus of 1,000 yuan?"
Wang Yunzhou was stunned. Although there were bonuses before, it was usually good to have three or two thousand yuan a month. But he didn't expect to get a bonus of one thousand yuan just for one trip to the sea. If he could get this kind of bonus every day, wouldn't the bonus alone be thirty thousand yuan a month?
"Agan, isn't this a bit too much?"
Zheng Gan laughed and said, "It's not much, Uncle Wang. As long as we have a good harvest in the future, we will give you a bonus every time we go out. Don't refuse it."
"Okay, then I'll be polite to you." Everyone is happy to get money, and Wang Yunzhou is no exception. Although his salary is not low, he will naturally feel more comfortable if he can get more bonuses.
"Afeng, I will also give you a bonus of 800 yuan." Zheng Gan turned to Jiang Feng and said, the child was also very tired today, it was a good thing that he brought him along, otherwise if it were just him and Lin Hao, they would probably have died on the boat.
"Ah." When Jiang Feng heard that he also had a bonus, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, brother, I really don't want this bonus. You've already given me so much salary, what else do I need a bonus for?"
His current salary is 8,000 yuan a month. If you add the bonus, how much does he earn this month?
"I'm really tired and don't want to waste time talking to you. Just do what I tell you to do. Why don't you listen? If you refute my decision again, I will beat you up." Zheng Gan didn't want to give the child another chance to refute. After he finished speaking, he pulled Qiao Xin and Lin Hao home.
As for the rest of the matters on the ship, they were handed over to Wang Yunzhou, as this was also his specialty.
By the time they left, word had spread around the docks. While Zheng Gan's catch wasn't legendary, it was definitely a significant piece of news for the opening of the sea. However, everyone just treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner. After all, who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? A big catch once or twice was simply considered good luck.
Of course, if the internet goes viral too often, some people might start to have bad intentions.
On the way back, Zheng Gan was a little too tired and forgot to ask Lin Hao's opinion about the bonus in advance, so he asked apologetically,
"Haozi, I gave them both bonuses without telling you in advance."
Lin Hao shook his head. "Brother, don't ask me about this kind of thing anymore. I have no objection to any decision you make."
Indeed, they made a net profit of 130,000 this time, of which Lin Hao took 20%, and also had a bonus of 30,000 yuan. He didn't care much about money, so a little bit was enough for him.
Zheng Gan actually knew that Lin Hao would not have any objection, but knowing it was enough, he still had to say something.
"Okay, then when you get back, don't forget to tell your dad about finding someone."
It is very important to find someone. If you continue to do this next time you go out to sea, it will be too bad. If a normal fisherman does this, there is nothing we can do. But it is a bit unreasonable for a dignified owner of a plug-in to be as tired as a dog every day.
"Don't worry, brother." Lin Hao was also very concerned about this matter. As long as he found someone, he would be free and even have time to play a few more games on the boat. Those days would be wonderful.
It was getting late, so the three of them went back home to see their mothers. They would take a day off tomorrow and continue going out to sea the day after tomorrow.
