After finishing the longline fishing, Feng Xuan drove the Rising Sun a little further away.
Then, slowing down, Feng Ye and A Can lowered the trawl net and began trawling.
Feng Ye went to the wheelhouse and said to Feng Xuan, who was steering the boat, "Brother, let me take the helm. You can go and get some sleep while there's no work to do."
Feng Xuan rubbed his eyes, feeling genuinely tired.
For the past few days, I've been getting up in the early hours of the morning every day, and I'm not getting enough sleep at all.
"Okay, you drive it. Call me when the net is almost up."
He nodded and gave the driver's seat to Feng Ye.
The light on the deck was too strong, and it was getting hotter and hotter, so Feng Xuan had no choice but to go to the cabin to sleep.
The cabin wasn't a good place to sleep; it was rudimentary, not to mention the overwhelming fishy smell.
But there's nothing we can do. Conditions are limited at sea, so we have to make do. It's good enough to have a place to lie down.
The Rising Sun was like a cradle, bobbing up and down on the sea, quite suitable for sleeping, except that the engine noise was a bit loud.
But for Feng Xuan, this noise was nothing.
He lay down and closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Xuan, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard Feng Ye and A Can's exclamations and groggily opened her eyes.
"Brother Ye, I've got a big catch! I've spotted a big fish!"
What kind of fish?
"Qinggan, it looks like it weighs over twenty jin..."
Feng Xuan rubbed his eyes, feeling as if only a moment had passed, but in reality, two or three hours had gone by.
He scrambled to his feet and walked out of the cabin. On the deck, he saw Feng Ye and A Can pulling back the trawl net, both of them looking excited.
"Xuan-ge, you're awake?"
When Ah-Can turned around, he saw Feng-Xuan just walking out of the cabin.
"Why didn't you call me when you set up the internet?"
Feng Xuan went over and lent a hand, pulling the trawl net onto the boat.
"You're sleeping so soundly, I'll let you sleep a little longer," Feng Ye said with a smile. "Two people can set up the net, there's no need to wake you up."
"This net is quite heavy; it must have caught a lot of fish."
Feng Xuan found it very difficult as soon as he started working on it. He looked up at the trawl net and immediately saw a large, bulging sack.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "That's quite a lot, probably several hundred kilograms."
Ah-Can chimed in, "Yes, I also think it's quite heavy; there must be a lot of fish. I even saw a Qinggan fish that weighs over 20 jin (10 kg)."
Feng Xuan nodded: "I heard it just now."
As the net was pulled closer to the side of the boat, the fish gradually came into view.
"Holy crap, there's more than one Qinghai-Gansu!" Ah-Can exclaimed in surprise.
Feng Ye's eyes lit up; there were indeed quite a few fish in the net, and a variety of species at that.
The fish we see right now include ribbonfish, silver pomfret, squid, sea bass, small yellow croaker, and mackerel, and they are all quite large.
Especially the two long and slender green taro plants, which are about 80 or 90 centimeters long.
Although it is also called Qinggan, it has nothing to do with Qinggan tuna.
The scientific name of the green amberjack is Amberjack, also known as five-striped amberjack, and also called Zhangxiong fish, Ping'an fish, oil amberjack, and green amberjack.
It is a medium-sized marine fish belonging to the family Carangiidae in the order Carangiformes, characterized by its black eye rims and a yellow longitudinal stripe running from head to tail.
It has a typical "fish-like" body shape, with a slender body and a flattened horizontal profile.
Its belly has silver scales, and its back has blue-green scales.
It is a globally recognized high-end raw fish product, with delicious meat and rich nutrition, making it a top-quality fish for sashimi.
"Not bad, not bad, this net should fetch a good price."
Feng Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
The net bag was lifted up by a crane, and then it was untied, allowing all sorts of fish to pour out and fall onto the deck.
"Wow, there aren't just two routes in Qinghai and Gansu, there are six."
Ah-Can exclaimed in surprise again.
Feng Ye and Feng Xuan also discovered that there were a total of six Qinggan fish, four large and two small, in the pile of fish.
The other four were probably in the middle of the net, covered by other fish, which is why they weren't visible.
Qinghai and Gansu are excellent ingredients for sashimi, so naturally they need to be bled and dehydrated.
Feng Ye got up, went to the cabin, took out a knife, and stabbed each of the six green twigs three times. Then he threw them aside and waited for the blood to drain.
As for disemboweling, let's forget about it; I don't have the time or energy for that.
So many fish on the deck, waiting to be sorted.
"I'll go steer the boat. You guys sort out the trawl nets and put them in the water first, then come and sort them."
Feng Xuan went to the driver's seat and restarted the machine.
Feng Ye and A Can tied the bottom of the net bag tightly and then tidied up the entire trawl net.
Once the Rising Sun was running, the trawl net was lowered.
Then they got busy on the deck again, picking out the fish one by one and putting them into different baskets according to their type and size.
"This squid is quite good; it must weigh seven or eight pounds."
Ah-Can picked up a large squid and showed it to Feng-Ye.
But unexpectedly, the giant squid then sprayed ink, and black ink gushed out.
Caught off guard, Ah-chan was immediately covered in ink, his face completely black.
"Holy crap, this squid is ruthless..."
He was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his face, only to find that his hand was covered in black grime.
Goodness, now Ah-Can's face is even darker.
"Hahaha, Ah Chan, you've turned into a black person!"
Feng Ye, watching from the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Feng Xuan, who was in the driver's seat, also heard the noise, turned around and looked back, and immediately laughed.
"Ah-Can, what's wrong with you? You look like a lump of coal!"
