"Brother Ye, it looks like our harvest today is going to break the record low. With just a few big cats and small cats, it's questionable whether we can even sell them for two hundred yuan."
Looking at the meager catch lying on the deck, Ah-Can didn't even have the energy to tidy up the trawl net.
"Don't rush, at least we can still make a killing, right? There might be a surprise coming."
Feng Ye also frowned deeply.
Since buying the Rising Sun, we have never had such a dismal return.
"Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. That's basically it for today."
Ah-Can sighed, then joked, "Brother Ye, is it because you were doing something wrong when you logged off?"
Feng Ye laughed and scolded, "Get lost! What does it have to do with how I cast the net? I think it's because you're steering the boat in the wrong direction; you're dodging the fish."
"Hmm, that's possible."
Ah-Can said seriously, "Maybe I used up all my luck when I encountered the sardine storm. How about you drive it next time?"
"Alright then." Feng Ye nodded. "Hopefully my luck will improve."
"It's a pity that the Mazu Temple hasn't been built yet, otherwise I would have my mother go there every day to burn three sticks of incense and ask Mazu to bless us so that we can return with a full load every time."
"Didn't you see the expansion plans? The project is so huge, it can't be completed so quickly. Besides, we'll have to stop work during typhoons and rainy days. Don't even think about finishing it this year. It would be good if it could be finished before the birthday of Mazu next year."
"Yes, it would be great if it could be completed by then. We can hold the Mazu birthday celebration and the completion ceremony together. It will definitely be a grand and lively event."
"It's bound to be lively. With so many people on the island, plus some outsiders who donated money, we might need to set up several hundred tables."
"I wonder who will carry Mazu when she goes on her pilgrimage?"
“In previous years, four people were enough, but next year it is very likely that the statue of the deity we invited back will be on patrol, so there should be eight people.”
"Hehe, there's a good chance that one of those eight spots will be yours, Brother Ye."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that kind of luck."
Feng Ye waved his hand, but a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Ye, don't be modest. Everyone has witnessed your contributions to the expansion of the Mazu Temple. If you're not qualified, then who is?"
"Don't make wild guesses now, there are still more than eight months until Mazu's birthday."
As they spoke, they had already tidied up the trawl net.
"I'm going to set sail."
Feng Ye threw down a sentence and turned to go to the driver's seat.
With the diesel engine started, the Rising Sun slowly began to move amidst the "clattering" sound.
Feng Ye didn't know where the fish were hiding underwater, so he just randomly chose a direction.
After Ah-chan lowered the trawl net at the stern, he began sorting through the catch.
Although there aren't many valuable items, we still need to sort them out by category.
Half an hour passed quickly.
At this moment, Feng Ye suddenly noticed a large fish hunting on the sea ahead, happily eating bite by bite.
This big fish sometimes dives into the sea, and sometimes surfaces...
Feng Ye recognized it at a glance; it was a shark, and a ferocious great white shark at that.
The great white shark, also known as the man-eating shark, is not actually pure white.
It is only pale gray to white on its lower sides and belly; its back and upper sides are dark brown, bluish-gray, or nearly black.
The most ferocious great white shark
Its mouth has large, flat, sharp teeth with fine notches, but no side edges, making it feel like it's cutting with a knife when eating.
A great white shark can grow new teeth up to six times in its lifetime.
Its teeth are arranged in several rows, sometimes up to seven.
In particular, it has an unusually large number of teeth, some even having more than one.
"Great White Shark".
Ah-chan also saw and recognized it.
Judging by its size, it's about two meters long and probably weighs three or four hundred pounds.
It's so big, it won't be easy to get it up there, it will be very difficult.
Moreover, trawls won't work; you have to use fishing and bait to lure it over.
However, only the fins of a shark are valuable; the head is worthless.
Therefore, neither of them wanted to bother.
"Ah, if only it were other valuable fish, like bluefin tuna."
Ah-chan sighed, looking at the shark hunting with disgust.
"Stop dreaming in broad daylight, there's no such thing as..."
Feng Ye's voice abruptly stopped.
Because within his line of sight, the sea surface suddenly changed.
The once calm sea began to ripple, as if some large creatures were rushing towards it from beneath the surface, and there were quite a few of them.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
"Look over there."
Ah Can looked in the direction Feng Ye was pointing and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, what's with the waves? The weather hasn't changed. Something's wrong, these waves came so suddenly..."
"Ah Chan, can't you use your brain for a second?"
Feng Ye facepalmed, utterly speechless: "It's obvious that a large school of fish is coming."
"Oh, really?"
Ah-Can suddenly realized, then his eyes flashed with wild joy, "Brother Ye, you mean... we've run into a huge school of fish?!"
"That's right, judging from the commotion underwater, it's quite large."
Feng Ye then changed the subject, saying, "But don't get too excited yet. We still don't know what kind of fish it is. Maybe it's a shark."
"Huh? A shark? No way?"
"It's only a possibility."
"It's a pity the float on the trawl net has been removed, so now we can only tug on the bottom, otherwise we could haul up a few sharks."
