Bai Yu and his group arrived at the pier around 8 a.m., but by the time they left, it was already 11 a.m., and it was almost noon.
They spent the whole morning at the dock, but Bai Yu and the others didn't complain at all.
After all, they have already received the profits from this fishing trip, with the least one receiving more than six thousand yuan and the most receiving tens of thousands!
The biggest winners were Bai Yu and Wang Hai, who together earned 158,000 yuan. Bai Yu was just a little short of getting a six-figure sum.
This is a small regret for Bai Yu, whose personal income has already broken records, just a little short of breaking 100,000 yuan.
Before the Lunar New Year, Bai Yu and Wang Hai had made quite a bit of money when they went out to sea, earning over 100,000 yuan. However, compared to this time, it was slightly less.
The majority of the catch consisted of moonfish and sailfish, along with a few tuna.
On this fishing trip, Bai Yu only caught one tuna, a longfin tuna. However, Wang Hai caught quite a few, more than ten tuna of various sizes. The only downside was that only one tuna weighed over 100 pounds, while the others were all only a few dozen pounds.
Besides Bai Yu and Wang Hai, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng also made a lot of money. On the last day, they encountered a school of tuna, but Bai Yu was unlucky and didn't catch a single one.
However, Li Shuang caught a bigeye tuna weighing over 100 pounds, which sold for more than 20,000 yuan. Lu Sheng also caught several tuna, and his haul this time also exceeded 10,000 yuan.
When leaving the dock, Bai Yu settled Li Ge's bill for the expenses on the boat and also gave him a red envelope containing 1,200 yuan.
This red envelope wasn't given by him alone, but rather by all four of them together, since Brother Li had been quite busy these past few days.
Basically, as long as they catch fish, unless absolutely necessary, Brother Li does all the work of processing the catch and sending it to the fish hold, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Although they made a lot of money this time, the expenses on the ship were also considerable.
Including the boat fare for the four of them, the food and drinks on the boat, the treat after catching the big fish, and the purchase of fish bait, it cost more than 10,000 yuan.
The expenses for Bai Yu and Wang Hai alone amounted to more than 7,000 yuan. This was mainly because Bai Yu paid for every extra meal on the boat, as well as the cost of buying frozen bait.
This is why Bai Yu and his team caught a big fish this time, making back their initial investment. If they hadn't caught any fish, all the money they spent would have been wasted.
Therefore, deep-sea fishing is risky, so proceed with caution!
After leaving the dock, Bai Yu and his group of ten found a buffet restaurant for lunch.
This lunch was treated to Bai Yu and his group by Wang Xu and his four companions. The main purpose was naturally to thank Bai Yu and Hu Tao for taking them on this sea voyage, which allowed them to earn an unexpected windfall.
As for the buffet, it's because apart from Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, the remaining eight people are all members of the track and field team, and they all have one thing in common: they have huge appetites!
If they were to go to a restaurant to order food, Wang Xu and the other four might not be able to afford it. It would be more cost-effective to eat at a buffet, where they could eat and drink their fill for just a few dozen yuan.
After lunch, Bai Yu and the others took taxis back to Ocean University in batches.
In mid-June, as the semester was drawing to a close, Bai Yu and his classmates didn't have many classes. In addition, most of them were members of the track and field team and were preparing for the National University Games a few months later, so attending these classes was even more optional.
However, classes can be skipped, but this training is absolutely unstoppable.
Upon returning to school, Bai Yu and the others first went back to their dormitories to return their fishing gear and the clothes they had changed out of over the past two days. Then, they immediately went to the playground to prepare for a day of training.
When Bai Yu and Wang Hai arrived at the playground, there weren't many people training with the track and field team, far fewer than the dozens they had seen before.
After a period of training, the list of personnel who can represent Hainan University in the Universiade has been finalized, and all the selection competitions in Hainan Province have been completed, and the personnel who can represent Hainan Province have also been determined.
In this way, it's not a big problem whether those who didn't make the cut continue training or not; their training will have nothing to do with this year's Universiade.
However, some members know they won't have a chance this year, but they are still training with the confirmed team. They are not training for this year's Universiade, but for other competitions.
Training is tedious and boring, and time flies by as you train day after day.
In the blink of an eye, a semester has passed, and students at Ocean University of China are welcoming their summer vacation.
Unfortunately, this summer vacation was for ordinary college students and had nothing to do with Bai Yu and Wang Hai. On the first day of vacation, Bai Yu and Wang Hai saw Li Xue and Xia Jing off to their car; they were going on a trip this summer.
Originally, I had planned to bring Bai Yu and the other person along to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, but unfortunately, they had to train and didn't have time to travel.
"Brother Xiaobai, you and Brother Hai train hard. When Jingjing and I get back from our trip, I'll bring you some local specialties!"
"Bring me back a few packets of hot pot base from Chengdu, especially the oil-based dipping sauce from there. Bring me back several bottles! If you also go to Chongqing, bring me a few packets of Chongqing hot pot base. I want to see what the difference is between the two!"
Upon hearing Li Xue mention that she wanted to bring back local specialties, and recalling the travel plans of Li Xue and her friends, he immediately placed an order for the local specialty: hot pot base!
Bai Yu has eaten hot pot before. Although he has never been to Sichuan, he often goes to hot pot restaurants in Hainan Province.
However, once when their class had a dinner party and ate Sichuan hot pot, one of the boys in their class, who was from Sichuan, only took one bite and said that the hot pot at this restaurant was not authentic and not as delicious as the ones in Sichuan.
It was this one sentence that Bai Yu remembered.
Although he couldn't go out to play this summer because of training, Li Xue was going to Chengdu, so he could ask her to help him buy some Sichuan specialties. He had already gone to Chengdu to buy hot pot base, so it should be authentic this time.
After seeing Li Xue and Xia Jing off, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng also left school two days later. However, instead of going home, they found summer jobs in the city.
To be honest, Bai Yu was stunned when she heard that Li Shuang and Lu Sheng were going to take summer jobs.
In his mind, regardless of Li Shuang and Lu Sheng's family background, just based on their fishing trip at sea during the Dragon Boat Festival, they would not be short of money for a while.
How come they've already decided to work after only ten days or so?
After Bai Yu finally learned that Li Shuang and Lu Sheng were not working summer jobs for money, but for academic credits. They were doing summer social practice, and as long as they persisted for a month, they would get academic credits.
After understanding the situation, Bai Yu finally realized that nothing was more valuable than academic credits during university. Money could be forfeited, but academic credits were essential.
With only Bai Yu and Wang Hai remaining in the dormitory, the two brothers' daily lives became even more monotonous.
Every morning after waking up, I first go to the cafeteria for breakfast, then rest on the track for half an hour to digest the food, and then start my running training.
We ate lunch at the cafeteria around noon, then rested in the dormitory for an hour before returning to the training ground around 2 p.m.
After training in the afternoon, you can have free time in the evening to relax.
However, for Bai Yu and her companion, who were both university students, what was there to do at night? Especially now that it was summer vacation, some of the entertainment facilities around the school were closed, and there were very few students left on campus, so there was nothing to do.
Every night, the two brothers would either go back to their dorm to play games together, or go out for a stroll with Hu Tao and others, taking a walk around the city before returning.
This monotonous life lasted for two months, during which Bai Yu and her companion had gotten several shades darker from the sun.
Anyway, the last time Bai Yu had a video call with his mother, she almost didn't recognize that the person she was video chatting with was her own son!
He got so tanned!
This was mainly because Li Xue wasn't there, and Bai Yu didn't know much about sun protection products. The sunscreen he used before was all given to him by Li Xue.
But this time, only he and Wang Hai were left at Ocean University, and they quickly used up a bottle of sunscreen.
Bai Yu believed that it was harmless for a man to be a little dark-skinned, so he didn't tell Li Xue about it. As a result, things turned out the way they are now.
Bai's mother almost didn't recognize Bai Yu. Even when he went to the airport to pick up Li Xue, he walked back and forth in front of Li Xue three times, but she still didn't dare to recognize that the dark-skinned man in front of her was her Little Bai Brother!
As September arrived, Ocean University once again welcomed new students. For Bai Yu and others, there was not much time left for them to train, as the National University Games were about to begin this month!
