The swimming crabs in October are very fat, but because the sea has opened, the price is still very cheap. If you go to the dock and buy them directly from the boat, the price is as low as thirty or forty yuan per catty.
After the sea was closed, the price of swimming crabs really started to skyrocket, with prices sometimes reaching one hundred and fifty or sixty yuan or even higher.
Everyone on the boat enjoyed the meal very much, especially Deng Ziwen and her brother. It was the first time for them to eat seafood freshly caught from the sea. Not only was it delicious, it was also novel.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zheng Gan stood up and patted his stomach, then called out to everyone to clean up and continue casting the nets. There were more fish at night, so they couldn't waste this opportunity and time.
Everyone also knew this truth. After quickly packing up their things, they quickly got into the state and were on standby at any time.
Following the instructions on the map, the boat found a pretty good spot for casting the net within the first thirty minutes or so and cast the net as quickly as possible.
Zheng Gan glanced at the time. It was seven o'clock in the evening. His plan was to drag the net up within three hours and then return. It would take about four hours to go back.
In the past, staying on the boat for a night was not a big deal, but now there are two children from wealthy families on the boat, so it is better to avoid this situation as much as possible. Besides, Deng Ziwen is a little girl, how can she be allowed to sleep with a group of men.
There was nothing else to do during the trawling process. Jia Gui and the other two were experienced fishermen, and they would usually choose to rest at this time to get enough energy to wait for work.
The two young men, Lin Hao and Jiang Feng, usually have nothing to do at this time. The boat is moving slowly, so they usually choose to fish a few times to kill time.
Zheng Gan sat at the bow with his eyes closed, focusing most of his energy on the map and directing the direction of the ship.
"By the way, Brother Gan, I heard some news when I got here." Deng Ziming found Zheng Gan, who was observing the direction, and said, "Uncle Gao said that the city is planning to co-host a coastal fishing competition with the Baiyang Group. I heard the prize money is very generous."
"Fishing contest?" Zheng Gan instantly became interested. When he participated in the fishing contest held by Baiyang Group before, he was still wondering when there would be a fishing contest. His map plug-in was much better at trawling than fishing.
If this is true, then you must participate. Wouldn't winning the championship be a sure thing?
"Is this news accurate?" Zheng Gan asked eagerly.
"I'm not particularly sure, but I heard a phone call from Uncle Gao when he was receiving us. I don't know the specific situation." Deng Ziming shook his head. He had only heard a few words before and didn't take them to heart. If he hadn't come out to sea with us this time, he might have forgotten it.
"After we reach the shore, I'll ask Uncle Gao."
Zheng Gan shook his head when he heard this. There was no need to ask Mayor Gao directly about this matter. He could just ask Secretary Zhao when he came over tomorrow. Anyway, he would definitely participate in this fishing competition.
Three hours passed quickly, and it was time for the exciting moment of raising the net. Deng Ziwen, like before, came over excitedly, ready to be amazed.
As the ropes were opened, a large amount of seafood once again fell onto the deck.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are all the dishes brought up today festive sets?" Zheng Gan said with a smile, taking a look at the sea fish on the deck.
"What is a holiday package, brother?" Deng Ziwen asked curiously.
Zheng Gan gestured to the tour guide Jiang Feng and asked him to explain.
"Sister Ziwen, this so-called festival set meal is Spanish mackerel and hairtail, because when we celebrate the two major festivals here, most people will choose hairtail and Spanish mackerel as the main gifts." Jiang Feng has worked with Xiao Yu for a while and has a relatively rich knowledge base.
Deng Ziwen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. How much can this hairtail fish sell for?"
"According to current market conditions, slightly larger ones are generally priced at around 60 yuan, and the purchase price is between 40 and 45 yuan."
The girl carefully gestured at the pile of hairtail on the deck, silently calculated, and then said with a hint of surprise, "So, this net, brother, made about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Combined with the mackerel he caught earlier, he made nearly 100,000 yuan a day?"
Although she usually has no worries about food and drink at home and her living conditions are very good, after all, her family members are civil servants and there is no large amount of money flowing in and out. Therefore, in terms of pocket money, the two siblings are very ordinary. The monthly living expenses for college students are no more than 3,000 yuan at most.
"It should be about the same, but after deducting the salary, gas money and other miscellaneous expenses, you can't earn that much." Zheng Gan also interjected.
Except for him and Lin Hao, everyone on the boat needs to be paid. This alone is almost two thousand yuan a day, and there is also the cost of refueling the boat. A trip like this costs nearly ten thousand yuan.
"Sister Ziwen, don't make so much money just by going out to sea. My brother is the only one who can make so much money. If it were someone else, they would basically lose money twice out of three times." Jiang Feng said with a smile. He had already seen the light in Deng Ziwen's eyes, just like a little money-grubber.
"Okay." Deng Ziwen smiled. Her thoughts were discovered, and she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Today's mission has ended here. After Zheng Gan notified Wang Yunzhou to set off for home, he started sorting the goods with everyone.
"Ziwen, Ziming, you two should go and have a rest first. It's just a small amount of stuff and we can finish it quickly." Zheng Gan advised Deng Ziwen, who was starting to doze off.
They are just here to play, you can't really treat them as workers.
"Okay, brother, I'm going to take a nap first. I'm really too sleepy and can't hold on any longer." Deng Ziwen staggered towards the cabin. He had been playing for a whole day and was really tired.
Deng Ziming shook his head and continued to help sort the seafood.
It didn't take the seven people too long to pack up about 2,000 kilograms of seafood. Looking at the time, it was already 11:30 in the evening. Zheng Gan asked Jia Teng to make some midnight snacks. After working for such a long time, he was already hungry.
They woke up Deng Ziwen who was still sleeping, and each of them had a simple bowl of seafood noodles. Then they sat on the deck and chatted in the breeze. It was already October, and they could still feel a slight chill on the sea.
"Brother, we will go back tomorrow."
