"Because it's not the peak season for flounder right now, the price can be a bit higher," Yu Jiang explained. "The purchase price is generally around 50 yuan."
When the price came out, everyone present was actually somewhat dissatisfied, even Yu Jiang and his friends.
The four of them had been on the boat for a long time and had seen net after net of precious seafood. Now, they no longer cared about flounder that cost fifty yuan per pound.
"Don't be discouraged, this net also makes more than 400,000, which is still acceptable." Although Zheng Gan was not satisfied, he still had to encourage everyone. Otherwise, if everyone lost confidence, it would be difficult to do it.
Everyone's faces looked a little better after hearing this. Since there was only one flounder in the net, they took their small stools and started sorting them.
Zheng Gan continued to look at the map plug-in at the bow. The sorting work was not so rushed now, so it didn't matter if he was absent.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that he found any good place to cast his net.
"Agan, if it really doesn't work, let's turn on all the lights on the boat and see if we can attract some schools of fish or squids." Song Zhao reminded.
Although their boat is not a professional light fishing boat, they can still make some simple lights to attract fish.
In addition to these precious fish, the production of squid in Hokkaido is also very good, and many boats are specifically used to catch squid.
"Boss, Captain Song is right. Actually, the fish catch in Hokkaido is not very good at this time. Once the weather gets warmer next month, the catch will increase a lot." Yu Jiang said.
"Squid is very popular here in Xiao Ri, especially the squid here. They are big, taste delicious, and are very reasonably priced."
One was the captain, and the other was a very experienced local fisherman. Zheng Gan had no experience in either of these, so he naturally adopted their advice, turned on all the lights on the boat, and then notified the boat to head in another direction.
It must be said that this light does have the effect of attracting seafood. After only half an hour, he saw a lot of red dots gathering around him on the map plug-in, and the size of each red dot was also quite good.
"Everyone, pay attention! Start lowering the nets." Zheng Gan shouted, and then everyone on the boat started moving, and soon the first net was lowered into the sea.
There is no need to wait for the boat to pull up to see the things in this net. You can see through the lights on the boat that they are all squids, and their size is also very pleasing.
"It's a specialty squid here in Xiaorizi, the Pacific squid. They are very large, and including the tentacles, they are on average more than 50 centimeters in size." Yu Jiang recognized the species of the squid at a glance.
Fifty centimeters is almost as long as an adult's forearm. It is rare to see squids of this size in China, but the ones here are of average length.
"How is the price?" Lin Hao asked. This is the most important thing. The price of squid in China is very cheap. Even in the market, it is only 20 to 30 yuan per catty. If purchased in large quantities, it will be much cheaper.
"If they are all good-sized, they will definitely be more expensive than flounder."
The flounder caught in the afternoon could be sold for more than 400,000 yuan. If the price of this squid is higher than that, then the mission of harvesting a million yuan today will be completed.
This price finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After dragging the nets onto the deck, it was already late, so Zheng Gan decided to just work on these two nets today. A million-dollar income a day would be a huge harvest in the eyes of others, but for them it was just barely passing.
Sorting squids is similar to sorting cuttlefish, as both can spray ink. Before, everyone complained that sorting cuttlefish was difficult, but now they feel very familiar when they see these squids.
......
The next morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing Zheng Gan did was to turn on the map plug-in to see the situation of the red dots around him, but his face fell as soon as he saw it. It was very bad, even worse than last night. If this continued, he would not be able to complete the basic tasks of the day.
"Is there any better place around the Hokkaido fishing grounds?" In desperation, he could only find Yu Jiang and ask if there was a better place to cast the nets nearby.
Although the Hokkaido fishing ground is known as the largest fishing ground in the world, this refers to the large number of ordinary seafood here. A single net can fetch 100,000 yuan, or even less, and the victory is achieved by quantity.
It is actually not very friendly to ships like theirs with smaller deadweight tonnage.
"Yes, there is one. I was on another ship before and followed them to a place similar to a deep-sea trench. The marine resources there are relatively rich, but..." Yu Jiang frowned.
"But what?" Zheng Gan asked quickly.
"There are a lot of whales and sharks wandering around there. It might be dangerous even if we go there, and the dragnet might be damaged." Yu Jiang said honestly.
Indeed, fishing boats generally do not like to go to places where there are many whales and sharks. In addition to being dangerous, they may also cause damage.
However, this is not a big problem for Zheng Gan, because he can determine whether these marine creatures are hostile to him by bringing the map plug-in with him. If it is really impossible, he can just come back.
"Okay, then you go and communicate with Captain Song about the location, and then we'll go there." Zheng Gan ordered.
Although Yu Jiang didn't want to go, since his parents who provided him with food and clothing had spoken, he could only go to the cockpit to communicate with Song Zhao in a bad mood.
Soon the ship began to move in the designated direction. Along the way, Zheng Gan had been observing the map. As the ship got closer and closer to the destination, many huge red dots gradually appeared on it.
"Looks like we've arrived." Zheng Gan thought to himself. These red dots were obviously whales and sharks. They were also valuable and very expensive, but they just couldn't be caught.
"What a big whale!" Lin Hao shouted. After arriving at this area, he could actually see whales coming out to ventilate.
"What's the big deal? How come we see so few whales?" Zheng Gan scolded. Apart from what was happening in front of them, they also had their good friend 'Young Man' in the country.
In addition to being able to determine malicious intent, another reason he chose to come to this place was to see if he could get any missions.
