Around 9:30 p.m., Bai Yu and the others arrived at the dock and met Brother Li, who had been waiting for them. Under Brother Li's arrangement, they boarded the fishing boat.
There were twenty anglers on this fishing trip, ten of whom were Bai Yu's group, making up half of all the anglers.
Moreover, they arrived at the dock very early. Before them, only three fishermen had arrived at the dock, which gave them the opportunity to challenge the crew.
When it came to choosing a crew room, Bai Yu and his three companions naturally stayed together. They chose the innermost cabin, put their luggage inside, and then chatted on the deck.
This voyage was a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Bai Yu three days ago. He took the lead, then Brother Li and others assembled the group, and finally Hu Tao and others filled the vacancies.
To be honest, they didn't really have any good ideas about the purpose of this voyage.
The main problem is that the fishing season in the South China Sea has been rather uneventful this year, with no reports of large fish. As a result, Bai Yu doesn't know where to go fishing.
Bai Yu and the others were well aware of their situation; they simply followed the captain's orders and went wherever he took them.
"Brother Li, do you have any inside information? Where are we going to fish this time?"
While chatting on the deck, Bai Yu happened to see Brother Li and immediately called him over, intending to get some information from him.
At the boat rental company where Brother Li works, the staff on each fishing boat are fixed. He knows all the staff on his shift very well, from top to bottom, so it's easy for him to find out any information.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, you've come to the right person to ask me about this. If you asked someone else, they might not even know the answer."
The place we're going to this time is most likely the Sansha area, where there are many oil wells, abundant resources, and several fishing grounds.
I've also heard that there's been a lot of valuable sea fish in the Xisha Islands area lately, such as grouper and large yellow croaker; quite a few fishing boats have caught them recently.
After Bai Yu finished asking his questions, Brother Li quietly told him where they might be going on this voyage.
Bai Yu and his students have been busy training every day lately, so they naturally don't know much about the situation at sea.
But for people like Brother Li, the situation at sea is their lifeline. They can know about any disturbances at sea, if not immediately.
As for the three sands that Brother Li mentioned, they naturally refer to the Xisha, Dongsha, and Zhongsha.
These three island groups cover a large area of the South China Sea, which is not only rich in fishery resources, but also in mineral resources.
my country has a large number of oil well facilities here, and where there are oil well facilities, the fishery resources in the vicinity are bound to be good.
"Go fishing near the oil well? That sounds great! The area around the oil well is definitely rich in resources. If we're lucky, we might even run into a school of tuna!"
If we happen to run into this situation, we could become rich in just three days! Three days is enough for us to earn our living expenses for the entire next semester!
Bai Yu's eyes lit up when he heard that they were going fishing near the oil well!
After all, the last time he went fishing at sea, he went to an oil well and caught fish; he still vividly remembers the catch.
He remembered that the last time they encountered a school of tuna, they naturally made a fortune.
"Xiaoyu, you're exaggerating a bit. We're lucky to even encounter tuna. You want a whole school of fish? You're probably overthinking it."
If you ask me, let's be realistic. This time, let's each catch a few grouper or a large yellow croaker weighing seven or eight pounds. Let's not think too much about anything else.
Compared to Bai Yu's optimistic outlook, Hu Tao appears much more realistic.
Hmm... is it realistic for everyone to have a seven or eight-pound yellow croaker? Bai Yu thinks it's even more unrealistic than catching tuna!
As Bai Yu and his friends chatted, time slowly passed. When it came to eleven o'clock, it was time for them to prepare to set off.
'Wa ...
With a whistle from the fishing boat, the vessel slowly began to move, leaving its berth and heading into the depths of the sea.
Subsequently, as the fishing boat left the dock area, it immediately accelerated and headed at full speed towards Sansha.
Their first stop was an oil well some distance from the Xisha Islands. It was a natural gas extraction site, but also a natural—no, it should be called a man-made fishing spot.
After all, drilling platforms are built by humans, and the marine resources on the seabed are attracted by the steel frame of the drilling platform, so it should be considered man-made.
The moment the fishing boat started moving, Bai Yu and the others returned to the crew cabin. After lining up to wash up, they each lay down on their small beds and began to rest.
Go to bed early tonight so they can grab their fishing gear and go fishing on the deck as soon as they wake up.
According to the captain, they should arrive at their first fishing spot around 7:00 a.m. the next morning.
Starting from the pier in Haikou, it's more than 200 nautical miles to Yongxing Island, the main island of the Xisha Islands. However, Bai Yu and his group are not going to Yongxing Island this time, so their destination is not that far away, and seven or eight hours should be enough.
'Knock knock knock'
While Bai Yu and the others were half asleep, Bai Yu felt a knock on the door of the crew cabin where they were, and Hu Tao's voice could be heard from outside.
"Xiaoyu, are you asleep? If not, open the door. I need to get something from you."
Hearing the noise, Bai Yu sat up in bed and then sleepily opened the door.
"Brother Tao, if you had come a little later, I would have fallen asleep. Is there something you need?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. It's not me who's in trouble, it's Wang Xu. This guy kept saying he wanted to go fishing with us, but who would have thought that he would get seasick, and even seasickness medication couldn't help him."
I just went to see Brother Li, and he said that eating sour foods and ginger can relieve seasickness, but as you know, these things are not for the average person.
Then I remembered that you have a guy from Inner Mongolia in your dorm, right? Does he still have those yogurt tablets? Eating those can relieve seasickness.
After Hu Tao's explanation, Bai Yu finally understood what had happened.
Just as he had feared, one of the people on this voyage did indeed get seasick.
Although his symptoms weren't particularly severe, we still had to find a way to alleviate his seasickness, no matter how bad it was. Otherwise, he couldn't keep getting seasick all the time.
Bai Yu then woke up Lu Sheng and asked him to take a packet of yogurt tablets out of his bag and hand it to Hu Tao.
After receiving the items, Hu Tao left the doorway and delivered them to Wang Xu.
After finishing all these things, Bai Yu was finally able to get a good night's sleep, and then she lay down on the bed again.
This time, nothing unexpected happened, and nothing occurred until he fell asleep.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning around six o'clock, Bai Yu opened his eyes to the sound of an alarm clock. What woke him up wasn't just one alarm clock, but four cell phones. All four alarm clocks went off at the same time, and Bai Yu and the others opened their eyes.
"Aha!!! My goodness, I didn't know that the noise from four alarms going off at the same time could be so loud!"
"Ah Hai, are you awake? If not, wake up quickly, we're going fishing!"
After being woken up by the alarm clock, Bai Yu kicked the upper bunk bed board with his foot, and only withdrew his foot after receiving a response from Wang Hai.
In just ten minutes, Bai Yu and the other three were dressed, washed up, and arrived at the restaurant entrance.
Don't ask why it's so fast. If you absolutely have to ask, the answer is: that's just how fast a man is!
"Master, what's for breakfast this morning? Why hasn't anyone come to eat yet? Could it be that only a few of us are up?"
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Bai Yu went straight to the kitchen and immediately asked the chef what they wanted for breakfast.
"We'll have seafood congee for breakfast. The congee is still in the pot, so you can help yourselves. There are also steamed buns and some side dishes in the pot next to it. Just take whatever you want. You know the rules, so just take as much as you can eat and don't waste any."
The cook on the fishing boat was preparing other ingredients. After hearing the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Bai Yu and his group of four. He then told them to do it themselves.
The chef knew Bai Yu and his companions very well, and he knew Bai Yu well because they would always ask the chef for extra meals whenever they went out to sea.
Then, when they disembarked, they would give the chef a red envelope. Anyone would be very familiar with Bai Yu, who was like a god of wealth.
Afterwards, having taken matters into their own hands, Bai Yu and the other three each filled a bowl with seafood porridge, grabbed a steamed bun, and took a bunch of side dishes and salted eggs, and went to the outdoor table to eat breakfast.
A dozen minutes later, after finishing off all the ingredients, the four of them immediately went to the crew quarters, grabbed their fishing rods, and went up to the deck to start fishing.
