It's unclear whether the squid swarm discovered by Yuxue No. 9 was simply too large, especially since it was mixed with white shrimp.
Bai Yu and his group worked on the deck until dinner time before dragging their tired bodies to the restaurant for a meal.
This is truly exhausting, even though Bai Yu is a professional long-distance runner who focuses on achieving results through endurance running.
However, even after cleaning up net after net of squid and shrimp, he still felt extremely exhausted.
By the time he finished work, he could barely straighten his back; the soreness in his back was extremely uncomfortable whenever he stood up straight.
After dinner, the crew on deck changed shifts, and another group of crew took over the work.
However, after Bai Yu and the others finished dinner, they did not immediately go to work. Instead, they took a bottle of drink to the rest area, sprawled on the chairs, and began to rest.
"Phew, I can finally rest. Today has been exhausting."
After taking two gulps of cola, Bai Yu let out a long sigh and said.
"Indeed, I never felt this tired when I went on a boat before. Cleaning the catch on the deck is tiring. Assembly line is much better."
"The idea that machines can change lives is not just a saying."
It wasn't just Bai Yu who was feeling this way; Li Shuang and the others felt the same way, and some of them were even worse off than Bai Yu.
No matter what, Bai Yu is a professional athlete, so he has good physical fitness. Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, on the other hand, have only worked out at the gym since they joined the company.
Going out to sea on a ship meant going for months at a time, and my physical condition was no longer what it used to be when I was in school.
"But guys, we can only rest for a short while, we still have to go back to work later."
"We helped Group One with their work all day, and now that we're here with Group Two, let's go to the rest area and take a break."
"Still working? Brother Yu, I've been bending over all day, my back really can't bend over anymore, it's so sore!"
"Similarly, Brother Yu, we're not pretending to be pitiful, but bending over like this is really tiring. We're not even married yet, let's do something else."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Shuangzi, Asheng, you two are already exhausted? Should I ask the kitchen to make you something nice to eat to help you recover?"
Compared to Li Shuang and Lu Sheng's miserable cries, Wang Hai's situation was much better.
No matter what, Wang Hai is a former athlete. Even though he doesn't participate in competitions anymore, he still trains with Bai Yu whenever Bai Yu trains.
So Wang Hai's situation is slightly better than Li Shuang's and Lu Sheng's, but he's also putting on a brave face, gritting his teeth to mock the two of them.
Bai Yu just smiled at this. He was tired too, but he still had to help with the work.
They no longer bend over to clean squid or prepare white shrimp, but they can help the other crew members transport the cleaned seafood back to the freezer, which is a bit easier.
After resting in the rest area for an hour, Bai Yu led Wang Hai and the others down to the deck to get to work.
This time they didn't come empty-handed; each of them was pulling a small trolley, which they used to load the fish that the other crew members had packed on the deck onto the trolleys and then send them to the freezer for storage.
During this process, they are not completely free from bending over; they still have to bend over when moving the boxes onto the trolley.
However, it was much better than cleaning squid and shrimp before; at least my back wasn't as sore.
However, they didn't work for too long. Around nine o'clock, they finished work and returned to the crew quarters, washed up, and went straight to sleep.
For the next two days, Bai Yu and his team continued to help out on the fishing boat, where they also saw many local Peruvian specialties.
Such as anchovies, squid, cod, sardines, and so on.
A considerable number were also retrieved, and all of them were put into the freezer.
The cryogenic chamber, which originally had some room to spare, is now completely full, and they can finally go home.
Putting everything else aside, the seafood caught later alone will bring Yuxue No. 9 at least tens of millions in revenue, which is very good news.
As for Bai Yu and his three companions, now that the cryogenic chamber was full, they could return to the yacht.
These past few days helping out on the fishing boat have been very fulfilling, but also really tiring. Every night when they rest, they don't even want to talk; they just want to sleep.
Now that they could finally go back, they were eager to return home. They made several calls to the yacht to confirm the time and coordinates for their rendezvous.
While Bai Yu and her three companions were busy, Li Xue and her group were not idle on the yacht either.
Bai Yu and his three companions went fishing for free; the fishing boat wouldn't pay them a single penny, since they weren't hired by the boat and it could operate just fine without them.
But Li Xue and others are different; they can create value on the yacht.
Since they parted ways, they had been fishing for three days, using eight fishing rods.
I don't know if they were just incredibly lucky, or if the marine environment they were in was just exceptionally resource-rich.
In three days, the four sisters, with the occasional help from Sister Shi and her two sisters, caught a total of three tons of fish.
On average, that's one ton a day, which translates to 500 jin per person.
A catch of 500 jin of fish in a day, well, that's a lot. If it were a big fish, one would be enough.
However, the girls couldn't catch fish of that size. Even with the help of Sister Shi and the other two, it was still a very troublesome task.
Moreover, their daily catch consists mostly of a mixture of various types of sea fish.
In fact, Peru's marine resources overlap with ours to some extent, except that there are more fish in Peru.
After all, we are all in the same ocean, one is in the western Pacific and the other is in the eastern Pacific, spanning the entire Pacific Ocean.
For Li Xue and her three companions, the number of fish they caught over the past three days was quite large, but not many of them were valuable sea fish.
They didn't catch many of the larger and more valuable fish, such as tuna, swordfish, and grouper.
The fish they caught most often were various kinds of fish, and those kinds of fish that looked like both yellow croaker and croaker.
Secondly, there are some worthless items, such as mahi-mahi, various kinds of trevally, barracuda, and anglerfish.
The largest one was a deep-sea anglerfish weighing over 100 pounds. This thing truly lives up to its name as a product of the deep sea; its appearance is so unique that it seems as if there are no other fish in the world that it cares about.
Although the anglerfish is rather ugly, its flesh is incredibly delicious, and its appearance affects its price.
After Bai Yu and the others reunited with the yacht, Li Xue had the crew empty the yacht's cold storage and sell all the fish they had caught.
The catch this time wasn't very large, and there weren't many big or valuable fish, so the money from selling them wasn't much either. At most, it was less than 200,000, and it stopped at around 18,000 to 15,000.
No matter what, they still have to leave some profit for Yuxue No. 9. They can't let the fishermen take the catch back to Hai Province and make a wasted trip.
After Bai Yu and his companions returned to the yacht, they went straight to the cabin and lay down in the yacht's entertainment area without moving.
They were lying on a soft sofa, holding smartphones that could connect to the internet and watch videos, with snacks, fruit and drinks on the table next to them.
Just looking at the scene before them, and recalling the two days they spent on the fishing boat, Bai Yu and the others silently complained to themselves: life on the yacht is so much more comfortable. Let whoever wants to go on the fishing boat go; they don't want to go anymore.
After separating from the Yuxue No. 9 fishing boat, the Yuxue No. 9 headed back along the route they had come from, with its final destination being to return to Hai Province.
On the other hand, Bai Yu's yacht was sailing south, heading towards Chile to enter the Atlantic Ocean.
As they continued south, their route drew ever closer to Antarctica.
This is because the climate is about to enter summer, and they are traveling in the waters off Chile, which is still a very long distance from Antarctica.
Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to go this way. After all, the waters near Antarctica are much more dangerous than those in the Arctic. They don't even dare to go through the Bering Strait, so there's no reason for them to dare to go this way from Antarctica.
Chile is a truly magical country. Spanning multiple latitudes and longitudes, it experiences a variety of seasons, including spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all within the same season.
The changes were far more dramatic than those in Haixi and Heilongjiang provinces during winter; it was like two completely different worlds.
For example, there are deserts in northern Chile, and I don't need to elaborate on what a desert environment is like. Then, southern Chile is very close to Antarctica, and I don't need to elaborate on what Antarctica is like either.
As the yacht sailed south, leaving Peruvian waters, they entered Chilean waters.
Here, their company also pays membership fees. Since their company started making money, they have paid membership fees to every marine association with any influence in the world.
Although this requires their company to spend several million dollars extra every year, it makes it much more convenient for their fishing boats to operate at sea all over the world.
At least they won't be driven away by law enforcement vessels from other countries. If that happens, their company will naturally seek justice from the other country's association.
In matters between companies, things are much easier to handle and deal with than between countries.
At the very least, as long as the other association wants to make money from their company, they must guarantee their company's interests, and then their company can import some seafood from one or more of the other party's senior executives.
By establishing a deep alignment of interests between the two parties, their company's fishing boats could then sail the globe.
After arriving in Chile, Bai Yu and his crew immediately found a port in Chile and decided to take a tour of the country.
