Seeing that the fishermen were making the most of their time to eat, Li Shuang and his two companions were also swept up in the excitement.
The three brothers quickly went to the food window, each got a meal, and then found a table to wolf down their food.
Bai Yu was the only one who acted slowly and deliberately, whether he was getting food or eating it.
"Brother Fisherman, you're eating way too slowly. Let's finish eating quickly and go fishing, otherwise we'll have to turn back at dawn and then we won't be able to fish anymore."
Seeing that Bai Yu was eating slowly, Li Shuang immediately spoke up to remind her.
"You eat your food, and then hurry up and go fishing. Do you think I don't want to eat faster? I just can't eat fast!"
You think catching six giants in a few hours is easy? This guy's exhausted me; I can barely lift my arms now. If I weren't controlling myself, my hands would be shaking the moment I relaxed even a little!
As Bai Yu spoke, he showed Li Shuang and the other two his right hand. The guy was shaking so badly, like he had Parkinson's disease, that he couldn't stop shaking.
Li Shuang twitched the corners of her mouth to suppress the smile, then buried her head in her rice.
In just five minutes, Li Shuang and his two companions finished their dinner. Then, they walked together toward the deck to continue fishing.
During the visit to Bai Yu's side, in just five minutes, he hadn't even finished half of his meal. He was still trying his best to control his hands, preventing them from shaking any further, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat in peace.
A few more minutes passed before Bai Yu finished his dinner and headed towards the stern of the boat. He felt that his right hand had recovered somewhat and he could continue fishing.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning, when the sun slowly rose from the east and the whole sky returned to brightness, that Bai Yu and the others put away their fishing rods and returned to their respective crew rooms.
After a night of hard work, everyone on the fishing boat had a very good catch.
I dare not say much about other things, but based on tonight's catch, the 36 fishermen on the boat have basically earned back their boat fare. As for whether they can earn more, that depends on their individual luck.
Anyway, Bai Yu and his friends had a good catch. Bai Yu had already earned back his boat fare, and now every fish he catches is pure profit.
Around six o'clock, the four of them were already lying on the beds in the crew cabin, drifting off to sleep as the fishing boat rocked.
The fishing boats were rocking because they had begun their return journey, heading back to the dock they had come from.
According to the captain's estimate, based on their current location, it would take them about thirty hours to return to the dock, which is a little over a day.
During this process, Bai Yu and his companions were basically unable to do anything and could only stay on the boat, bored.
No, that's not right. Fishing boats do offer entertainment facilities, such as a Little Tyrant game console and some card games.
Unfortunately, there were too many fishermen on the boat, and Bai Hao and his friends couldn't get a turn on the arcade machines even after queuing. Frustrated, they could only find something to do on the deck.
What Bai Yu cared about most was that he had heard some news from Brother Zhang: some of the anglers who went out to sea this time had caught something good.
High-end seafood such as grouper and rat grouper are abundant. Some people have also caught small moonfish, large yellow croaker weighing three or four pounds, and even yellow croaker.
Unfortunately, the last species, the yellow croaker, was released after being caught because it is a protected species.
Those with more questions might ask, isn't the large yellow croaker also a rare fish species and a protected animal in China?
Indeed, the large yellow croaker is a protected animal, but it is different from the yellow croaker. While the large yellow croaker is a protected animal, it is also an important economic marine fish in my country's coastal areas.
In addition, with the development of the aquaculture industry, large yellow croaker is now being artificially bred. In particular, a batch of large yellow croaker fry is released back into the sea to protect the fish population.
Therefore, while protecting wild large yellow croaker is important, it doesn't prevent fishermen from catching them, as long as their population doesn't cause harm.
After all, how many large yellow croakers can a fisherman catch? To their species, that's just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.
However, this doesn't apply to yellow croakers. These are large sea fish, and it takes time for them to grow from small to large. If a yellow croaker is caught, there will truly be one less in the ocean.
Perhaps we will lift the restrictions on protecting yellow croaker only someday in the future, after we achieve a technological breakthrough in its aquaculture or when the wild population recovers.
We've gone off-topic; let's get back to the main point.
After learning that the fishermen on the boat had caught so many precious sea fish, Bai Yu immediately went to find the owners of these fish and asked them how they planned to handle them.
Let's see if they plan to keep it for themselves or sell it.
If it's the latter, then he can help contact a reliable buyer to buy all the fish.
In fact, people who can go out to sea to fish are not particularly interested in selling the fish; they prefer to keep them for themselves.
After asking around, Bai Yu only managed to contact three or four anglers and managed to keep the good fish they had.
This wasn't just because Bai Yu was quick-witted, but because the other party knew Uncle Sun, or rather, knew about Uncle Sun's hotel.
The fishing boat that Bai Yu and his group were on was a fishing boat from their town. They were all originally residents of the surrounding area, and most of them knew about the hotels in the county, especially the few star-rated hotels in their county.
This is only because Bai Yu and the others are still young. If Bai's father and Uncle Sun were here, they might know many of these people.
Oh right, not all of these people were unfamiliar with Bai Yu. Apart from the four of them, there were forty-five fishermen and staff on the fishing boat, and three of them recognized him.
The reason I know Bai Yu is because these three people are track and field enthusiasts, and Bai Yu is currently the number one long-distance runner in China.
In addition, Bai Yu recently won two gold medals and one silver medal in international competitions, so the other party naturally had a certain impression of him.
Not only did they remember her, but they also pulled Bai Yu aside for a group photo, saying they were her fans.
......
Goodness, they've already started their return journey, and suddenly three fans appear?
These must be three fake fans. They were on the same ship for seven or eight days, how come no one recognized him before?
However, it wouldn't be accurate to call them fake fans, because once they boarded the ship, the ship lost signal after traveling a certain distance.
If I hadn't known Bai Yu before, I would have had even less chance of recognizing him after the signal was lost.
In the end, he did his best to help Uncle Sun and managed to keep some of the good fish, but there was nothing he could do about the rest.
