Chapter 572 574. Return with a Full Load
Wang Li and some boatmen who were originally fishermen were nearby, explaining the matter attentively.
Sorting out the edible and inedible things opened everyone's eyes. It turns out there are so many seafood products on the seabed, and there are so many things to pay attention to.
Looking at the full buckets of fish, Gu Wenheng and his companions became interested. Since it was still early, they asked Wang Li to choose a place to continue fishing.
As for whether the fish caught can be consumed, there is no need to worry about it at all.
If it really doesn't work, send them to the military camp, and still complain that there are not enough things to go around.
After casting four nets in a row, Jin Qianqian saw that it was getting dark, so she asked the boatman to stop and quickly return to the harbor.
He Gaofei, who was standing on the deck, said they were both tired and excited. "It really opened my eyes today. You can catch fish this way."
Lu Shenggen silently calculated in his mind, "This day's harvest is equal to our annual salary. If Madam Gu doesn't go out to sea for sea trade, even if it's just fishing, this deal won't be a loss."
He Gaofei, "That's not the way to think. Do you think fishermen always have such a good catch every time they cast their nets? We must have been lucky today.
"Depending on the weather for a living, this saying is not in vain, it has some truth to it."
"Anyway, we have broadened our horizons today," Wu Yichen said, still staring at the fish jumping in the bucket. "I think we can go to the sea more often when we have nothing to do. If we are transferred out of Lucheng, I guess the next place we go won't be the coastal area."
Jin Qianqian stood on the deck and looked into the distance. "Do you think this scene is missing something?"
Gu Wenheng turned his head to look at her, "..."
Jin Qianqian pointed at the already dark sky, and slowly pointed her finger towards the port from which they came, "There's still a little light left."
Gu Wenheng, "...lighthouse?"
Jin Qianqian nodded, "There will definitely be more and more ships in the future, and the lighthouse should also be taken into consideration."
In this way, fishing boats that only fish near the coast will have a sign to guide them even if they miss the return time.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "It seems that I have gained something from this trip. This is all my mistake!"
Jin Qianqian thought of the two children who were tired from playing and sleeping in the cabin, and smiled, "You and your two sons had a blast, and they are probably still reminiscing about it."
Gu Wenheng did not deny it, “I haven’t been so relaxed for a long time, so it’s inevitable that I’m a little unrestrained.
I will come here more often in the future, fishing with a net is quite stress-relieving.”
“I don’t have a problem with that, but I’m afraid some people won’t be able to spare the time.
If Luo Luo hadn't wanted to go fishing today, we would have just gone on the boat for a while and then returned."
Gu Wenheng, "Don't worry, even if I get busy in the future, the others won't be able to hold back.
Do you believe that someone will find a way to make time for me? "
Jin Qianqian turned her eyes to the men in the back who were still chatting happily, and immediately understood what he meant.
"That's good. Now that you're hanging on to something, I think it will be easier for you to do things in the future..."

The full load of fish was unloaded at the small port. Butler Fu was already there with his men and took over immediately.
Jin Qianqian also rewarded all the boat workers on the boat today, and had asked Lichun to distribute the rewards they deserved according to their contributions.
He Gaofei and his friends were still choosing the seafood they wanted when they were called back to the yamen by Gu Wenheng.
"It's already dark. We have such a big catch today and we want to have some fresh seafood. What do you mean, Lord Gu?" He Gaofei felt a little unhappy because his seafood was still waiting there.
Wu Yichen also looked back frequently, "That's right, my long-servant is a fool, he may not be able to choose what I like, otherwise we should wait, if there is anything, we can talk about it at the government office tomorrow."
"Don't worry, you will be needed for all of that. If you are really worried, I will ask the restaurant to prepare a table for you to the yamen. You will definitely be able to taste fresh seafood tonight." If Gu Wenheng was not concerned about his image, he would have wanted to roll his eyes. These people have eaten a lot of seafood these days, so why do they look so greedy?
"That's fine," Wu Yiwu said without looking back, "Let's have a drink after we're done. This is how we can live our lives."
Gu Wenheng, "That's possible."
"I remember that Lord Gu had a collection of white wine last time," Wu Yichen said tentatively, "That one is strong enough, how about some?"
"..." Gu Wenheng paused, "You do remember it."
But one time, I was greedy and wanted to drink some of the decades-old brewed wine at home, and I happened to meet this guy. I didn't expect that he still wanted to drink it.
To be honest, even Jin Qianqian’s space didn’t have much of that good stuff in stock, so she was reluctant to give it to these people to make.
"Isn't this the smell of wine? What do you think? We sacrificed our rest time to accompany you to the yamen to work. This small request is not too much." Wu Yichen smiled. As long as he could drink the fine wine, he would be thick-skinned.
Gu Wenheng, "We don't have that kind of wine, but we can ask the restaurant to send us a few pots of top-quality Huadiao."
Although Wu Yichen was a little disappointed, since they said they were out of stock, he naturally wouldn't force it. "Then send a few more pots. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."
"Sir Gu, you called us to the yamen in such a hurry, is there something important?" He Gaofei recalled that he didn't seem to see anyone approaching Gu Wenheng before, but he called them over as soon as they got off the boat. Was it some official business that he had forgotten before?
Gu Wenheng, "I just happen to have some ideas that we can discuss, and I would also like to ask for your opinions."
After hearing what he said, several people knew that there was something important going on, so they did not continue to ask outside, but got on their own carriages and headed towards the yamen.
As soon as they arrived at the yamen and listened to Gu Wenheng's proposal, He Gaofei and his friends felt the gap even more.
Obviously everyone was going out to relax and have fun together, but they were thinking long-term and even preparing for a lighthouse.
"This is a good thing, but our small dock also needs to be regulated and expanded, otherwise so many fishing boats won't be able to dock."
Knowing that the sea can bring endless benefits to Lucheng, He Gaofei and his team are naturally willing to put more effort into it, as it will also be their achievement in the future.
"I think you all know that this Lu City originally didn't have a decent dock or port. It was only because we surrendered several ships from the bandits that it was inconvenient to dock, so we built a simple one." When Gu Wenheng heard someone bring up this point, he naturally continued the topic.
"That really requires long-term planning. The roads here haven't been repaired yet, and we have to prepare for the construction of the dock. It's really a bit stressful." Wu Yichen didn't object, but was this a step too big?
