After the bluefin tuna weighing a hundred pounds was bled and boned, only about sixty pounds of meat was left. However, these idiots ate it all up, leaving nothing behind.
Zheng Gan was sobbing after watching this. He had originally thought of saving some for tomorrow's lunch, especially since A Da and his four friends basically took up half of the food. Now he was so full that he was strolling around on the deck.
It seemed that they had never eaten such delicious food before, which was why they kept eating like crazy. However, it was also obvious that the four of them were even more grateful to him.
"Now that we've had our fill and had a good time, let's hurry back to the house and get some sleep. We'll continue fishing tomorrow." Zheng Gan stood up. "Keep track of the prize money for second and third place in the competition. Winners, come find me when we get back to the dock."
There was no signal on the boat, and he didn't bring that much cash, so he could only wait until he got back.
In this internal competition, the first place went to Zheng Gan, who had three thousand yuan left for himself. The second place went to Lin Zhihong, who came from behind and received a prize of two thousand yuan. Uncle Zhihong's fishing skills were really amazing, and Zheng Gan was thinking about taking him with him to the next fishing competition.
The third place went to Ada, who won a prize of one thousand yuan and did not bring shame to the local fishermen.
After everyone simply cleaned up the garbage after eating, they returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Zheng Gan woke up naturally, put on his clothes, washed up, and went to the deck. At this time, Jia Teng saw him coming and brought him breakfast.
Our Chinese people still like to eat light food in the morning. Zheng Gan and his friends have inherited this fine tradition. They eat white porridge, eggs and pickles, and everyone enjoys it very much.
Even the four of Ada were the same.
After dinner, Zheng Gan asked Song Zhao to drive the boat. The sardines nearby had almost been wiped out, so they could go somewhere a little further away. He had a chat with A Da last night, and he knew that the fish produced in another fishery would be slightly more valuable, but the output would not be as good as these sardines.
But this is not a big deal for Zheng Gan. He must take advantage of the benefit period of the new copy and get as many valuable things as possible, otherwise he will miss it too.
The boat sailed for about two hours and arrived at the area that Ada mentioned.
Zheng Gan started observing early on using the map plug-in, and it was just as he said. The red dots were much larger than sardines, and their number was also much smaller.
I estimate that it can reach the capacity of seven or eight networks, but this is not bad, and it is almost the capacity of two days.
"Come on, men, let's start casting the nets." Zheng Gan shouted, and everyone on the boat took their positions and began to lower the trawl nets into the water.
The two most complicated tasks on the ship are trawl nets and sorting seafood. Although machines account for the majority of trawl nets, human assistance is also needed, and it takes a long time. It basically takes about two hours to completely prepare a five-ton net bag.
The next step is sorting. If the types of fish they catch are relatively simple, it is still okay, two or three hours is enough, but if the types of fish are rich, it may take four or five hours to finish.
Another thing is that not every fishing boat can catch a bursting net every time like Zheng Gan and his team. There are still many cases where the net is half-full, so don’t think that distant-water fishing boats will definitely make money.
Back to the topic, after spending two hours to lower all the trawl nets, everyone went to rest, while Zheng Gan took the walkie-talkie to communicate with Song Zhao about the location. The area now was different from the previous one where the sardines were.
There were so many red dots at that time, and they were densely packed together. Now there is a big gap, so Zheng Gan still needs to look at the map to guide the forward position.
And every time he saw other people resting leisurely on the deck, he felt unhappy. On other fishing boats, the work of finding fish and directing the direction was done by the captain, but here he was the only one doing it.
It’s not that Song Zhao’s level is not good enough, it’s just that Zheng Gan wants to make more money and be safer.
More than two hours passed. According to the display on the map plug-in, the trawl net in the water had already exploded. At this time, Zheng Gan gathered everyone together again and started to raise the net.
Looking at the bulging nets, Ada and the other three showed admiration. They had worked with many fishing boats and had basically never seen a boat with a full net every time. From the first net on the first day on board to today, they had caught so many, and all of them were like this. Anyway, the four of them had never seen such a thing before.
This is also the reason why Song Zhao, the extremely experienced captain, came out.
It was time to untie the net again. Jiang Feng and the others suppressed the urge to pray and stared at the net with burning eyes. As Zheng Gan untied the rope, all the seafood in the net came onto the deck.
"How could it be horse mackerel?" Lin Hao felt sick when he saw the fish on the deck.
The others had the same expression, very disappointed.
However, Zheng Gan squatted down thoughtfully, picked up a horse mackerel and looked at it.
Horse mackerel, also known as balanga and mountain mackerel, can be found in coastal areas of China. The meat is of good quality and can be sold fresh, pickled into salted fish, or made into salted dried products. It is nutritious and rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Eating it regularly can help prevent high blood pressure, cerebral stroke, etc.
However, the quality of the horse mackerel meat can only be said to be of good quality. People living by the sea just dry it into dried fish and eat it. It is not worth much. Of course, this refers to wild horse mackerel. Now the farmed horse mackerel tastes very delicious and is a good thing for sashimi. The price has been driven up very high.
The market price of wild horse mackerel is five yuan per catty, while the market price of farmed horse mackerel is eighty yuan per catty.
"No." Zheng Gan studied it for a while and said, "Look, this horse mackerel is different from the ones we get along the coast of China. It looks more like the farmed kind."
The key point is that the red dots of horse mackerel shown on his map plug-in are indeed quite large, about the size of seventy or eighty yuan per catty.
When everyone heard what Zheng Gan said, they quickly gathered around, squatted down and began to study.
"Boss, this kind of fish can indeed be sold for 70 to 80 yuan per pound here, because the buyers said that its taste is very suitable for eating raw." Ada explained very timely.
