In fact, the sea is now open, and we can fish not only by setting nets, but also by using other methods, such as ground traps, but the harvest is relatively smaller.
In Zheng Gan's current situation, he's clearly gotten carried away. He made a couple hundred thousand dollars from fishing, and then he's forced to suffer through all that hardship to earn a few thousand? I believe most people are like this.
Back to the boat.
The five people have packed up all the plum fish, and those that need to be put into the cabin have also been put into the cabin. Zheng Gan looked at the time and said to everyone,
"Let's take advantage of the abundance of fish at night and cast our nets again. Then we can go back to the dock to avoid having to drift around in the sea during the day tomorrow."
Jia Gui and the others had no objections to this. This workload was nothing compared to before. In the past, ship owners would have forced them to work around the clock just to make money. But now? It was like going on vacation.
The key is that Zheng Gan casts the nets accurately. He casts two nets at a time, and each time the net is full. Then he goes home and rests for two or three days before coming out again. Other boats cast ten or even more than ten nets at a time, so they are tired.
"Uncle Teng, please make some midnight snacks for us to replenish our energy." Zheng Gan said with a smile. He had been working all night and was a little hungry. He still had to continue working soon, so he should eat something.
"Okay, boss."
Jia Teng took some seafood such as fish and crabs that he had reserved in advance and started cooking. It was very convenient to eat on the boat. There was always something fresh to eat by dragging a net.
It didn't take long for the fragrance to waft out, making everyone resting on the deck drool.
The midnight snack was simple yet not simple, with pan-fried fish, blanched swimming crab, spicy stir-fried shrimp, and finally a tofu fish soup. The staple food was the steamed buns we brought.
"This plum fish is delicious." Lin Hao, a foodie, has no resistance to delicious food. He ate four steamed buns in one breath. It was really terrible. No wonder Wu Sujuan said that she could not afford to feed it anymore.
Jia Teng’s cooking skills are very good, and everyone was very satisfied with the midnight snack.
"After you finish eating, go and have a rest. I'll call you when I find a place to get off the net." Zheng Gan stood up after eating and drinking. Now it was his turn to work.
When looking for a place to go online, he was the busiest. The others had nothing to do, so they would find a corner to rest and get enough rest.
It would be best if we could find a few more people to help with the sorting, and Zheng Gan could be freed. However, labor costs are not cheap now, and there is no one as knowledgeable as Jiang Feng, so the matter of finding people can only be put on hold for the time being and dealt with later.
After more than an hour, he finally found a more suitable location again. He quickly called everyone over and started casting the net.
"Everyone, hold on. After this haul is over, we'll take a break and set sail for the return trip tomorrow morning." After dragging the net down, Zheng Gan looked at the sleepy people and spoke.
In fact, he and Wang Yunzhou were the most tired after the fishing boat was cast. They were concentrating the whole time, one directing and the other driving the boat. Others could also take advantage of this time to rest or go fishing to relax.
"Uncle Wang, can you hold on? If not, let Haozi take over." Zheng Gan asked. The captain is very important. If he is not focused at this time, it will be troublesome.
"No problem, I can still hold on. I'll rest after I pull her up." Wang Yunzhou had been driving the boat for a whole day and was almost at his limit. After all, he was not young anymore and could not compare with these young people.
The fish are more sluggish and more numerous at night, so the speed of fishing is much faster than during the day. In less than two hours, Zheng Gan observed that the net was about to be saturated.
"Raise the net, raise the net!"
With a loud shout, he instantly woke up everyone who was still resting. They quickly came to the back and pulled the float up together.
The rest was left to Zheng Gan. Once the rope was untied, the net bag opened and all the seafood fell onto the deck.
"Not bad, not bad. These are silver carps. This is the first time I've seen so many silver carps being pulled up." Jia Gui's eyes were small to begin with, and he almost couldn't see because of this smile.
Zheng Gan also grinned. He could tell from the map that the red dots of these seafood were quite large, but he didn't expect that they were actually fish.
The scientific name of the Spanish mackerel is four-fingered threadfin mackerel. It is also an edible fish with good taste. However, its number is small and it is difficult to catch, so the price is also relatively expensive.
The current market price is over 100 kilograms, and their net volume is about 1,400 to 1,500 kilograms.
"Let's catch all the fish in one go, then rest and return tomorrow morning," Zheng Gan said. "This time, the catch is pretty good. Just like before, everyone will get a bonus."
Everyone, who were originally a little sleepy, became energetic when they heard about the bonus. They felt their whole bodies were instantly filled with strength, and they quickly squatted down and started sorting the goods.
"Uncle Wang, you go and rest for a while. When you've rested well tomorrow morning, we'll sail back directly." Zheng Gan turned around and said.
Wang Yunzhou was already a little tired at this time. He didn't say much, just nodded and returned to the cabin. He had been sailing from morning to night today and really needed to rest for a while.
Zheng Gan was also busy and joined the sorting team. It didn't take too long for five people to sort two thousand kilograms of seafood if they worked hard.
After all the fish were sorted, everyone went to rest, while Zheng Gan found two foam boxes, took some whitebait and blackbait, packed them, and prepared to give them to his father-in-law and Lin Gang when he returned tomorrow.
Now, whenever he goes out to sea, he will bring back some of the seafood he caught as a gift to his family. He is not short of money now, so he must get some good food to let his family taste it.
After finishing, he went into the cabin to rest. He was tired after a day and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
When Zheng Gan woke up again, he found that the ship was almost arriving at the dock. It seemed that he was indeed a little tired yesterday.
"Brother, I have contacted Uncle Qiang. After we dock, we will go directly on the boat and move all the fish off." Lin Hao saw Zheng Gan coming out and brought a bowl of noodles over.
"Okay, I didn't expect to oversleep." He had slept for such a long time and was hungry. After saying that, he picked up the noodles and started to eat them with a grunt.
Soon, the boat docked at the pier. Wang Dongqiang was the first one to get on board. He went straight to the fish hold to check the fish without even looking at Zheng Gan.
When the merchants at the dock saw Wang Dongqiang in such a state, their faces fell. Didn’t the fishing boats that had a good relationship with them say that they had nothing this time?
What the hell are those baskets of fish?
