"Yunzhou, do you operate like this every time you go out to sea?" Qiao Zhengdong asked.
Wang Yunzhou nodded and replied with a smile on his face, "Yes, Boss. I had the same expression as you when I first went out to sea. I couldn't understand how Ah Gan did it at all, but I got used to it over time. Maybe he was born to do this job."
Was it talent? Or was it sheer luck? He couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, if I can't think of it, then forget it. This kid is very tight-lipped." This is the only way Qiao Zhengdong can comfort himself now.
The harvest from the first network was only average. For Zheng Gan and his team, it was just a simple test of the waters and not a real start.
"Let's do the same as before and sort these fish and shrimps by size first, and throw those useless rotten fish and shrimps directly into the sea." Because he was participating in a competition, Zheng Gan was much more nervous than before when he went out to cast the nets by himself.
Everyone responded, took out their small stools, and started the sorting process. Zhao Xing also joined in with a smile. He really was like a boatman throughout the whole process, working hard and without any problems.
But the more this happened, the more worried Zheng Gan became. He felt that this kid was definitely up to no good.
"Dad, you take a rest. We can do it and clean it up quickly." Seeing Qiao Zhengdong also found a small stool to sit down and help, Zheng Gan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him that his father-in-law was not in good health and it would be better for him not to do such hard work.
"It's okay. I've been resting at home recently and my body is almost rusted." Qiao Zhengdong naturally wouldn't agree and started the sorting work directly.
Zheng Gan was helpless. He knew very well how stubborn his father-in-law was. There was nothing he could do but to keep an eye on him.
There were a total of ten people on the boat at this time. Apart from the referee and Wang Yunzhou, the remaining eight people were all sorting the seafood from the Internet. Moreover, each of them was an experienced veteran, including Zhao Xing.
So it took less than an hour to sort out all the 2,000 kilograms of seafood, and then put all the more than 1,500 kilograms of swordfish into the fish hold for preservation.
"Okay, let's take a break first." Zheng Gan said after taking a look at the map. He had been observing the map during the sorting process and directing Wang Yunzhou in the direction of the boat.
However, I didn't find a good place to cast my net during this hour, and finally I waited until it got dark without casting my net again.
This made Qiao Zhengdong very anxious. He thought that even if he couldn't find a good place to cast the net, he couldn't do this. It would be fine if he was going out to sea on ordinary days, but now he was here to participate in a competition.
Zheng Gan could only keep comforting his father-in-law. The main reason was that their fish tank was not that big and the carrying capacity of the entire ship was not large. Instead of getting some miscellaneous fish and stinky shrimps, it would be better to pick out the best seafood.
"Dad, we don't catch many fish during the day. We can catch them all at night when they all come out to feed."
"Hmph." Qiao Zhengdong snorted coldly, "Alright, I know what you mean. Let me tell you, if you don't win first place in this competition, you won't be able to come back to my house for dinner for the next year."
Zheng Gan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. Why was he threatening him? If Qiao Xin knew that he couldn't go home for dinner for a year, she would probably skin him alive.
So after dinner, he stood at the bow of the ship, concentrating all his energy on the map.
"What the hell!" Zheng Gan suddenly discovered that a group of very large red dots appeared in the southwest corner of the ship. Let's put it this way, the size was even twenty times that of the previous group of ghost-head knives, or even more.
What does this mean? A ghost-head knife weighing over 1,500 kilograms could fetch 70,000 to 80,000 yuan if you're lucky. Twenty times that would be nearly 2 million yuan.
My God, Zheng Gan started to tremble when he thought of this. He had never seen such a large amount of seafood at sea. It was really scary.
"Hurry... hurry... Uncle Wang... Uncle Wang, move towards the southwest as fast as possible, hurry!" Zheng Gan shouted loudly while holding the walkie-talkie tremblingly. This shout directly alarmed the other people on the boat.
"Brother, what happened? What did you see?" Lin Hao asked with a frown. He had been with Zheng Gan for the longest time in the whole event and had seen all kinds of storms. He had been at the scene of attacks by super yellow croakers and great white sharks, but he had never seen such a big reaction.
Others also gathered around in confusion, asking what had happened.
"Don't talk!" Zheng Gan yelled, "Hurry up and go to your position and prepare to go down the net."
Everyone had never seen him so excited before, so they didn't dare to delay and quickly returned to their seats, waiting for instructions.
It wasn't long before the boat arrived at the designated location. Zheng Gan stared at the map carefully, and then immediately gave the order to drop the net just as the boat passed the giant group of red dots.
After all the trawl nets were lowered, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the deck.
"Agan, what happened? Why are you reacting so strongly?" Qiao Zhengdong was very puzzled. Zheng Gan didn't show much expression on his face even when he caught such a large net of swordfish before, but now he was so out of control.
"Gulp." Zheng Gan took the water Lin Hao handed over and drank two gulps before explaining, "I just saw a dazzling light coming from this side. I'm sure this net must have exploded."
Hearing this unreliable explanation, everyone present rolled their eyes. Who the hell are you trying to fool? Why don't you just say you were guided by an immortal? That would be more reliable. So late at night, you're telling us you saw a dazzling light at sea? Are you trying to rub our intelligence into the ground?
But since it's not something special, I feel relieved.
"Okay, everyone go and wait first. I'll watch here. Once the net is pulled up, you'll know what it is." Zheng Gan also blushed a little. He knew that the excuse he made up on the spot was definitely a bit bullying.
After everyone left, Zhao Xing sneaked over and asked in a low voice, "Godfather, did you really find something good?"
Haha, it looks like the fox’s tail is finally coming out.
Zheng Gan glanced at him and said unhappily, "What? Brother Zhao, what are you thinking now?"
"Hehe." Zhao Xing rubbed his hands with a flattering look on his face, "I want to discuss a small matter with my adoptive father."
