The competition was held in the Zhoushi waters in China, which is also a very large fishing area in the country, especially for swimming crabs, which are very famous. In the swimming crab harvest season, the Zhoushi wharf can even supply the whole country.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm a staff member of the organizer. My last name is Wu." The staff member who came on board to supervise looked to be in his thirties, wearing glasses and looking gentle. He took the initiative to come up and greet Zheng Gan.
"Hello Director Wu, I'll leave it to you this time." Zheng Gan was naturally very polite. Mainly, he couldn't be impolite because this was a national competition and the referees were not arranged by his own people as before.
As for this title, since he is in the system and doesn't look very old, and since he can come here to be a referee, he must be just an ordinary staff member or something like that. There is nothing wrong with calling him director.
If someone who doesn't hold this official position is called, people will definitely be happy. Even if someone does hold this official position, a person in his thirties can only be a director at best, and the possibility of this happening is not high. A director certainly cannot just come on board and do the work of a referee.
Sure enough, when the staff member surnamed Wu heard him being called Director, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he was obviously very pleased, but he still pretended to be humble and said,
"Mr. Zheng, you're too polite. I'm just an ordinary staff member. How can I be the director? You can just call me Xiao Wu."
A man in his thirties, older than him, called him Xiao Wu. Zheng Gan laughed like crazy in his heart, but he naturally continued to be polite to him.
The two chatted for a long time, and in the end they felt that they had met too late, and they almost became sworn brothers.
"Mr. Zheng, don't worry. As long as you don't do anything too obvious on the boat, there will be absolutely no problem!" Xiao Wu said, patting his chest, and by the way, he also looked at the surveillance on the boat.
Zheng Gan smiled and nodded. He didn't need to do any messy cheating, as long as he didn't do anything that targeted him specifically.
The boat continued to move towards the area designated for the competition and took about four hours to reach its destination.
"Everyone, get ready and start going online." Zheng Gan called out to everyone who was resting in the cabin through the intercom. Besides chatting with Xiao Wu, he had been observing the map plug-in system along the way.
The domestic sea has just been opened, so it can be regarded as a new copy update. The number of red dots along the way is also quite considerable, and not only are there many in number, but the size is also very good.
Everyone quickly came to the deck and stood next to the net-lowering machine, ready to lower the net at any time.
In fact, three or two people would be enough when going online, but Zheng Gan called them all out in order to prevent them from slacking off and to strengthen the team's awareness.
The net was a large one with a carrying capacity of 100 tons, so it took almost two hours to lower it into the sea. Then Zheng Gan informed everyone that they could start eating. It would also take about eight or nine hours to drag the net into the sea, so there was still enough time.
"Mr. Zheng, is the food you eat so richly on the boat?" Xiao Wu, the organizer, was a little surprised when he saw the various delicious dishes on the table. He was not a novice who knew nothing. Some of the older generation in his family even made a living on the boat. Naturally, he had heard about what people usually eat at sea.
But what on earth were these twelve generously sized dishes on the table? There were meats, vegetables, and even top-grade beef and mutton?
"Yes, we're all here to work, so naturally we have to eat well. Otherwise, we won't have the energy to sort the seafood." Zheng Gan explained with a chuckle, "Director Wu, you must try it. Uncle Teng, the chef on my ship, is a direct disciple of Master Jiang, a top Shandong cuisine chef. His cooking skills are impeccable."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he was immediately shocked. He knew Master Jiang of Shandong cuisine and had seen him more than once on the Internet. He didn't expect that he could eat the cooking of his direct disciple today. It would be a huge profit!
I originally thought that this trip would be a hard and tiring task, but I didn’t expect it to be so enjoyable. The food alone was a great deal!
Because there was a competition in the afternoon, no one drank any alcohol, but the delicious food also conquered those newcomers who had never tasted Jia Teng's cooking.
......
The next period of time was Zheng Gan's. He still took a lounge chair and lay on the deck to enjoy the fresh air. From time to time, he took out the intercom to communicate with the cockpit to change positions. The others were resting in the cabin and preparing for the sorting in the evening.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the trawl net in the sea was finally full.
"Mr. Zheng, I have news. The other ships have basically already set up their nets. We are the last one, and their harvests are pretty good. I heard that the most impressive one reaped almost 10 million in its first net." Xiao Wu said in a low voice. He has now officially become an intelligence officer.
Zheng Gan nodded. He was not surprised by this. After all, not all ships could wait until the nets were full before starting to pull up the nets like he did, so he was not worried. Moreover, he had seen from the map plug-in that the red dots of this net were of a good size.
"It's okay, Director Wu. We prioritize quality over quantity."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu didn't know what to say anymore. He had already reminded everyone he needed to. It was impossible for him to conjure up a large amount of seafood out of thin air. That was not realistic.
"Comrades, let's start to raise the net. Everyone please stand back and don't get hit by the seafood." Zheng Gan reminded them that this net holds a hundred tons of seafood. If they are really hit by seafood, it will basically be reported.
After everyone reached a safe place, Zheng Gan used a crane to move the bulging net bag to the top of the deck, then directly untied the rope, and all the seafood inside fell onto the deck.
Zheng Gan leaned his head over to take a look at the fish on the deck and immediately lost interest. The same was true for the old men like Lin Hao. They shook their heads and stepped forward to start sorting them.
This situation clearly shows that they are not very satisfied with these fish.
"No, Mr. Zheng, isn't this blue-spotted mackerel? This is a great harvest, why do you all have such expressions?" Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. He knew this fish, the best of mackerel, the blue-spotted mackerel, which was very valuable in this season. The market price was between one hundred and thirteen and one hundred and forty yuan, so the purchase price must be more than one hundred yuan.
And this net is nearly 200,000 kilograms, and 20 million is the minimum. With such a large harvest, why are you still not satisfied?
