Feng Ye was startled and rushed to the side of the boat, looking down into the sea.
Sure enough, a yellow figure could be seen faintly in the water.
And it wasn't just one, it was a group, and quite a large one at that.
Several unlucky fish have already been caught in Ah-Can's net.
However, Ah-chan did not immediately put away the net, but left it in the water, waiting for more unlucky people to fall in.
Feng Ye recognized them at a glance: they were a group of small yellow croakers, not very big, but quite numerous.
When they swim in the water, they look like golden leaves floating on the bottom.
"It's just a small yellow croaker, don't make such a fuss, okay?"
Feng Ye gave A-Can a dirty look.
When he first heard Ah-chan's loud voice, he thought it was a big yellow croaker.
Now that I realize it's not him, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
If only they were big yellow croakers, even if we couldn't catch them all in one net, we could still make a fortune just by catching a few.
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
"I only said yellow, not big cucumber. You're overthinking it, okay?"
Ah-chan tried to defend himself.
He actually thought it was a large yellow croaker at first glance, which is why he was so excited.
But then I remembered that large yellow croakers are usually not golden during the day, and after a closer look, I realized they were small yellow croakers, so I quickly shut up.
Feng Ye didn't believe a word Ah Can said.
However, he did not delve into the details.
The Rising Sun was moving quickly, and the school of fish was swimming just as fast; they were still heading in opposite directions.
Therefore, they passed each other in no time.
The small yellow croakers were left behind by the Rising Sun.
If this were a school of large yellow croakers, needless to say, we would definitely turn around, chase after them, and haul them in with a net.
But forget about the small yellow croaker.
Although their purpose for this trip was to catch small yellow croakers, the school of small yellow croakers was not large enough to warrant wasting time on their journey to cast their nets.
The fish had passed by, and Ah-Can pulled up his landing net.
There were quite a few small yellow croakers in the net, about twenty or so.
It's a pity they're not very big, only about four or five ounces each.
Ah-Can said with some regret, "It's a bit small. It would be better if it weighed seven or eight taels each."
"It's good enough if we can even find one. Whether it's big or small, we're just fishing for fun."
Feng Ye didn't seem to care much.
Ah-Can nodded, poured out the small yellow croaker, and then went to get a knife.
The two of them worked together and quickly cleaned the fish.
Pan-fry the small yellow croakers, and use the small mixed fish to make soup for noodles.
Soon, the delicious lunch was ready.
The two of them ate first, and then Feng Jialing took over to eat.
We must not let eating delay our journey.
In the afternoon, the two of them continued to play with fishing with their hand nets.
The journey by boat was tedious and boring.
All they can do is use a hand net to catch fish;
Or stand on the boat and look at the scenery you've grown tired of;
Or perhaps enjoy the sea breeze;
Just spacing out...
...
Time slowly passed until the morning of the third day.
Feng Ye woke up shortly after dawn.
Stepping out of the cabin, he stretched and watched the red sun rise over the eastern horizon, and his mood brightened accordingly.
Today is another sunny day!
We haven't encountered bad weather for three days in a row, so it seems that God is being quite kind to us.
After enjoying the sunrise for a while, he prepared to go to the wheelhouse to take over the job of steering the boat, so that Feng Jialing, who had been navigating all night, could go to sleep, and also to ask where they were.
He was stunned as soon as he turned around.
Because to the west, he saw no coastline, only an endless expanse of sea.
"Damn, has Uncle Ling lost his way?"
A bad feeling suddenly arose in his mind.
But after thinking about it, I realized it was impossible.
This isn't deep in the ocean; you're sailing along the coastline, and even a novice who's just learned to sail is unlikely to get lost.
But what's going on here?
Feng Ye shook his head and strode towards the cockpit, where he found Feng Jialing staring intently at the sea ahead.
"Uncle Ling, where are we?"
Feng Jialing turned his head and revealed a relaxed smile: "We'll be at the fishing grounds in about an hour."
"ah?"
This answer was completely unexpected by Feng Ye.
He had thought he would find a place to stay before going out to fish, but unexpectedly Feng Jialing steered the boat directly to the fishing grounds.
Before he could ask, Feng Jialing explained, "The weather was good yesterday, and the wind was favorable, which allowed us to arrive ahead of schedule. I thought I might as well go to the fish farm to check on the situation first."
"If the situation is good, with plenty of fish and boats, we'll start fishing right away."
"And if the fishing season doesn't come, or there aren't many fishing boats, we don't need to waste money; we can just head home."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye nodded in agreement. This was indeed a safer approach and would save them time today.
"Will it be there in about an hour if we keep driving straight ahead?"
The Hai Zhong Zhou fishing grounds cover a large area and include many smaller fishing grounds.
Feng Ye had been to almost all of these places in his previous life and knew their exact locations, but he had no idea which fishing ground they were going to now.
Since the Rising Sun ship did not have a positioning system, it could not know its current location in the vast ocean, and therefore could not deduce it.
However, he could probably guess.
They came from the south, and they were probably heading to the southernmost Dahuang fishing grounds.
"Yes, just keep going along the current route."
