Bai Yu was so impressed by the Russians' enthusiasm that he chatted with the captain himself and invited him to walk towards the cabin.
As for Li Shuang and the others, they continued fishing on the deck. Fishing was more interesting than being chatted with by the Russians.
After all, they don't speak Russian, and they would need a translator to communicate, which is quite troublesome.
After Bai Yu brought the Russians to the cabin, he brought out a lot of fruit to treat them.
In particular, Bai Yu and his group specially brought watermelons and coconuts from Hai Province. The watermelons are a special variety that can be refrigerated for several months without significantly affecting their taste.
This fondness is specially cultivated, specifically for ships that need to sail for long periods and drift on the high seas.
After all, vitamins are the most needed thing for seafarers when they are at sea.
With the development of technology, vitamins, vegetables and fruits are no longer a problem, and nowadays sailors are also starting to pursue better food.
Bai Yu's shipping company is the best of them all, always providing the crew with delicious food and drinks, spending a considerable amount of money on this every year.
This time, Bai Yu and his group are going on a global trip, so they will definitely need to prepare all sorts of supplies, especially fruits.
Our country is a major fruit consumer and grower, especially when it comes to watermelons, where we are absolutely number one.
Even at sea, Bai Yu and his companions never lacked fruit to eat every day.
The only pity was that the Russians arrived a little too suddenly; these watermelons had just been taken out of the cold storage and were frozen solid.
Even so, when these Russians saw the watermelons, their eyes widened. Regardless of whether the watermelons were frozen solid, they immediately grabbed a piece and started eating.
This was shown to Bai Yu, who felt as if her teeth were frozen cold!
"Um, Trovsky, what are you planning to eat tonight? We accept orders here, and we can make anything we have."
Bai Yu looked at the leader of the Russians and asked them what they wanted to eat.
This man is called Trofsky. He has a full beard and looks very distinctive.
Since Bai Yu was prepared to treat the other party well, he decided to let them order the food. After all, their boat had everything: chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products. Except for some less common dishes, they could make them all.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Trofsky's eyes lit up immediately.
Trovsky originally just wanted to mooch a meal, but now he can actually order food?
If that's the case, then he won't hold back and immediately started discussing it with his crew.
Bai Yu and his friends sat opposite them, watching the Russians chatter away, trying to find a dish that they all agreed on.
They quickly came up with six dishes: Peking duck, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, hot pot, chicken stew with mushrooms, and sweet and sour fish.
Well, in the minds of Trofsky and others, hot pot can also be considered a dish!
Bai Yu explained the six dishes to them. They could make roast duck, but theirs was wood-fired roast duck, which was a bit different from Peking duck.
The other five dishes, including hot pot, can be prepared by Bai Yu. In addition, Bai Yu will make Hainan coconut chicken for them, and then add a few other specialties.
Bai Yu's arrangements greatly pleased Trof and his men, who repeatedly thanked her in their broken Chinese.
Bai Yu then took Trof and the others for a stroll on the yacht. It should be noted that the yacht they were on was lent to them by the shipyard free of charge.
By taking this yacht out to sea, Bai Yu was essentially accepting a proposal to advertise for the yacht.
Although Trof and his crew were just fishermen who made a living by fishing at sea, this yacht seemed to have nothing to do with them.
But that's not the case at all; even fishermen can be wealthy.
Take Bai Yu for example. Putting aside his identity as an athlete, he can be described as a fisherman.
After all, he owns a large number of fishing boats, and he also has a second mate's certificate, so he will soon be able to take the exam to become a first mate.
Given his background, who can say he isn't a fisherman? He's just a fisherman who owns his own company.
Therefore, in Bai Yu's view, Trof and his group were all potential clients. Who knows, they might become rich in the future, or perhaps they would switch careers and start driving yachts.
As Bai Yu led Trof and his group on a tour of each floor, they came to the storage room, where several small crab cages caught their attention.
These crab traps are very small, smaller than the two crab traps that Bai Yu and his group are currently using, with a diameter of only about sixty centimeters.
They made a mistake when buying these crab traps, mistaking the radius for the diameter. When they got them back, they realized they were too small, so they just left them in the storage room without using them.
The reason Trof noticed these crab traps was because they assumed that Bai Yu and his crew had come to the Bering Strait to poach king crabs. Otherwise, why would they have brought crab traps on their yacht?
It's important to know that king crab fishing in the Bering Strait is currently prohibited. When Trof and his crew go out to sea to fish, they don't use crab traps, for fear of being misunderstood by the local authorities and fined.
This is similar to the situation where we can't fish during the fishing ban period. Trof was very surprised when he saw these crab traps.
The other party then told Bai Yu that the Bering Strait is currently under a fishing ban, prohibiting the fishing of king crabs, and what the consequences of breaking the law would be, and so on.
After all, Trof thought Bai Yu and his group were Chinese and didn't know the rules on the Bering Strait side. However, after he saw the note issued by the Goose Fisheries Association, he repeatedly gave Bai Yu and his group a thumbs up.
At this moment, he also changed his previous perception of Bai Yu and his group. Now he thought that Bai Yu and his group were amazing people. They were able to obtain fishing licenses during the closed season. That was really incredible.
He absolutely had to cultivate a good relationship with Bai Yu and the others, and a very good one at that. He also needed to exchange contact information, in case it came in handy sometime in the future.
Then the other party actually wanted to teach Bai Yu and the others how to catch king crabs and how to find king crabs in the Bering Strait.
It was through this visit that Bai Yu learned what Trof and his crew did: they were king crab bounty hunters!
Trof's main job is catching king crabs, but because king crabs can only be caught for a few months of the year, they can't catch them at other times.
For example, now that there's no way to catch king crabs, they use fishing boats to catch cod and make some money from that.
However, they have a wealth of experience in catching king crabs, and they are also very familiar with where king crabs can be found in the Bering Strait.
Now Trof told Bai Yu about these techniques and a few coordinates.
The reason Trof was so generous was that Bai Yu and his fishing licenses had time limits and could only be used once.
Even if the fishing season comes this year, Bai Yu and his group will not come here to fish for king crabs. Even if they do come, they will not fish for them.
After all, fishing for king crabs in the Bering Strait requires qualifications and there are quotas; once a certain limit is exceeded, fishing is prohibited.
As for whether Bai Yu and his crew have a catch quota?
In any case, Trof thought it was impossible. After all, even as a Goose Man, he didn't have a fishing quota. Every year, he could only contract some quotas from those big companies, catch king crabs, and then sell them to them, earning a small profit from the difference.
As a foreigner, even if Bai Yu had connections within the Goose Fisheries Association, he couldn't possibly obtain a fishing quota unless he paid a high price to buy it.
This was something Trof hadn't anticipated; Bai Yu and his group weren't just related, their company was also incredibly wealthy!
They not only have connections in the Goose Fisheries Association, but also pay membership fees every year to obtain a certain percentage of king crab fishing quotas.
Even Alaska, a beautiful state across the Far East, is also located on the Bering Strait and is one of the places where king crabs are produced.
Their company still pays membership fees here and still has a share of king crab catches, but instead of coming here, they trade that share to another company.
So when Trof and Bai Yu were talking about how to better catch king crabs and find their tracks, he listened very attentively.
He also memorized every single coordinate address that Trof mentioned.
What Bai Yu didn't expect was that the coordinates provided by Trof actually included several large and beautiful exclusive economic zones.
This shows that despite his seemingly honest appearance, Trof is capable of illegal fishing.
They would definitely be more willing to do this kind of thing, especially when it comes to catching king crabs in Da Piao Liang's area.
After listening to Trof's detailed explanations and tips, Bai Yu only had one thought left: should he ask the company to send two boats to check it out during this year's king crab fishing season?
Let's try the method Trof told them and see if it works. If it does, their company might even make a profit from it.
They chatted for two hours straight, until something—whether it was breakfast or dinner—was finally prepared, and Bai Yu and the others finally stopped.
Then Bai Yu invited Trof and the others to walk towards the restaurant together, saying that everyone should drink until they drop tonight!
Hmm, it should be nighttime, anyway, it's not very bright outside, and it's nighttime in China too...
