Bai Yu's group wasn't entirely clear on how the people on the goose side caught king crabs, but they were certain that they wouldn't let the king crabs suffer any losses.
At least one thing is certain: even if these king crabs die, he will make sure they die with a full stomach.
Therefore, it is essential to put bait in the crab traps. This time, he prepared more than 200 kilograms of mackerel, all of which were intended to be put into the crab traps.
They won't need to use the longline today. After all, their location is a fishing ground. What if they can't keep up with the catch if they catch too many fish?
Of course, the above is just Bai Yu's wishful thinking; the actual situation is still unclear.
Bai Yu and his team were incredibly efficient at baiting the crabs; in no time, they had filled all twenty crab traps with bait.
The next step is to throw the crab traps into the sea; just throw them directly into the ocean.
Of the twenty crab traps, ten smaller ones were thrown away by Bai Yu and his group, while the remaining ten crab traps prepared by Heng Ke would require the help of the security personnel.
These crab traps are really too big. If it were just Bai Yu and the others, they could manage to handle them with a little more effort.
However, these ten crab traps are connected. Once one is placed in, the remaining crab traps must be placed in immediately afterward.
If you let Bai Yu and the others do this, their efficiency is a bit too slow; the speed at which they set the crab traps can't keep up with the speed at which the traps sink.
So it's best to ask for help. There are plenty of muscular security personnel, and the staff on the yacht are also in very good shape.
With each splashing sound on the sea, one crab trap after another was lowered into the water, along with its rope.
In no time, the sea returned to calm, with only a few buoyancy balls floating on the surface, indicating the presence of several crab traps.
Then the yacht carrying Bai Yu and the others sailed away, heading to the side.
These crab traps have been set up here, and the density is quite high. Bai Yu and his group don't plan to fish here, lest they encounter a big fish that runs towards these crab traps, which would be bad.
After all, the place they are in is known as a cod fishing ground, and the largest cod can grow to one or two meters long and weigh over 100 kilograms.
Therefore, it's best to be cautious when facing these big fish.
The yacht then veered to one side for about a nautical mile before coming to a slow stop. Bai Yu and the others then took their fishing rods and prepared to fish.
Since this is a cod fishing ground, Bai Yu and his team prepared heavy-duty fishing rods, aiming for big fish right from the start.
According to Bai Yu and his group, since they had come to the fishing grounds, they should fish to their heart's content.
This time, even the bait Bai Yu prepared was large bait; each mackerel was quite big, indicating that they were targeting large fish.
Once Bai Yu was ready, he first hooked a mackerel onto his fishing hook and then threw it into the sea.
He didn't even cast the line; he simply dropped the bait down the edge of the yacht.
Just then, a boat flying a goose flag passed by Bai Yu and his group, and the boat looked at their yacht with considerable curiosity.
Then, for some reason, the fishing boat suddenly changed direction and stopped not far from the yacht.
To be honest, Bai Yu was a little confused by what the other party had done.
After all, this wasn't the first time Bai Yu and his group had encountered ships from the Goose family since arriving in the Goose Sea, but this was the first time they had ever seen a ship anchored so close to them.
Moreover, there were people on the other ship waving at Bai Yu and the others, as if they had something to say to them.
"Brother Bai, what do you think that fishing boat meant? What were they shouting at us?"
Li Xue, standing next to Bai Yu, asked with a hint of doubt.
"I don't know. The sea breeze is too strong here, and we can't hear what they're shouting. But if they really have something to do, they should be able to call us using the ship's radio. Let's wait and see if the captain can find us later."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, the captain of the yacht ran over and said something that made Bai Yu even more confused.
"Mr. Bai, the people on that goose boat want to board our ship. Should we allow them?"
? ? ?
Why do you want to get on our ship? What are you going to do on the ship?
Seeing the confusion on Bai Yu's face, the captain quickly added another sentence.
"Oh, right, Mr. Bai, there's something I forgot to mention. They saw the atmosphere on our ship and came on board to freeload a meal, saying they wanted to try authentic Chinese food."
They could offer us some cod in exchange, asking if we agree. If we don't, it won't affect our friendship.
After the captain finished speaking, Bai Yu was even more confused. What was going on? Did they stop the boat next to the yacht just to get a free meal?
Then what else is there to say? Of course we agree! We absolutely have to agree. Given the relationship between our two families, getting a free meal is no problem at all.
"Alright, Captain, ask them how many people they have over there. If they want to come, let them. We'll prepare some good wine and food to treat them. I've heard that the people from Da'e are quite good drinkers, so let's get them some Maotai to try."
"The Russians drink Maotai, hmm, it's pretty good!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he asked the captain to reply to the other party.
The captain and his crew can handle the hospitality. Bai Yu and the others are going fishing, so they'll just show up later.
Soon, the other party's fishing boat came into Bai Yu and the others' view. Those guys from the Big Goose were really fierce; they came right up to the fishing boat.
Then Bai Yu and the others heard a 'thud' as the fishing boat and the yacht made close contact!
? ? ?
Did they collide?
What the hell? How did it crash into us like that? Even when Bai Yu and the others docked their ship, they didn't dare to crash into us like that. What is this guy doing?
At this moment, it wasn't just Bai Yu and the others who were stunned; everyone on the deck was dumbfounded.
Then, to Bai Yu and the others' astonishment, one cod after another was thrown onto the deck of the yacht. Soon, the deck was covered with a layer of cod, which must have weighed at least several hundred pounds.
The deck of the other fishing boat was much lower than that of the yacht, so if they wanted to catch the cod, they would have to throw them up one by one.
In about ten minutes, there were about a thousand catties of cod on the deck, and then ten strong men came aboard the other ship.
Real big, strong men are all broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with huge bellies, which shows they drink a lot.
Faced with the other party's enthusiastic attitude, and the fact that they immediately ordered a thousand catties of cod, Bai Yu immediately took a security guard and went over to talk to them.
Bai Yu brought security personnel not because he was afraid of getting beaten up, but because he couldn't understand Russian and the security personnel were there to act as translators for him.
They quickly learned through communication that the cod they had thrown up were all caught in this cod fishing ground, and that they had caught tens of thousands of kilograms of cod in just two days.
As luck would have it, on their way back, they saw Bai Yu's yacht, especially the flags flying on it, which piqued his interest.
This captain had dealt with Chinese people before, and had even been to the Sino-Russian border area. He was very friendly to our family.
Now that we've finally run into our family here in the Bering Strait, they immediately came over, ready to mooch a meal here.
Moreover, the captain of this goose is quite knowledgeable about our local customs and traditions, especially when it comes to reciprocity; he does a very good job and would never do anything for free.
This thousand-odd kilograms of cod was a gift from the other party to Bai Yu and the others!
Although Bai Yu and his team haven't caught a single fish at this fishing ground yet, just judging from the scale of the operation, it's clear that the cod resources here are excellent.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so generous. It must be because after they gave them this thousand-odd kilograms of cod, they could still continue fishing, and it wouldn't be too much trouble for them.
Since the goose's brother has been so hospitable, Bai Yu's side certainly can't be sloppy; they must prepare some delicious food for them to try.
