As they got closer, the ship gradually grew larger and clearer in their view.
That was indeed a ship.
However, they were not the fishing boats and cargo ships that Feng Ye had imagined.
Moreover, no malfunctions occurred.
Because it is a yacht.
The reason it remained stationary was because the people on the boat were fishing.
Yes, that's right, it's fishing.
A yacht, considered luxurious for its time, was moored on the sea, and a group of well-dressed people were leisurely fishing on the deck.
Upon seeing this, Feng Ye was momentarily stunned.
He truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
He had originally planned to lend a hand if he encountered any trouble.
After all, everyone encounters difficulties when they are away from home.
But now it seems he was overthinking things.
They weren't in any trouble at all; they were just out enjoying life.
Meanwhile, Ah-Can in the driver's seat was already cursing loudly.
"Damn, they were just fishing. We thought something serious had happened. What a waste of our time, damn it..."
He cursed as he reduced the throttle and turned the steering wheel slightly to adjust the course and avoid the yacht.
The Dong Sheng is trailing a long net, and if it gets tangled up by this yacht, it will be a big problem.
For safety, it is best to keep a distance of more than 200 meters from other vessels when the vessel is in operation.
Feng Ye ignored A-Can's grumbling and kept his eyes fixed on the yacht.
Yachts are a rare sight these days, and people who can afford to ride them are no ordinary people.
This is a yacht that is somewhat similar in size to Qin Aiguo's Chengfeng.
The only difference is the paint color; it's a very flashy red that stands out against the azure sea.
Clearly, the owner of this yacht must be a young man.
Older people generally wouldn't choose such bright colors.
The people fishing on the deck were indeed all young people.
There were six of them, both men and women, all dressed smartly and wearing sunglasses.
Bathed in sunshine and sea breeze, they enjoyed the pleasure of fishing, their faces beaming with relaxed and joyful smiles.
Feng Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
These people, though also out at sea, are able to enjoy the ocean in such a leisurely way.
On the other hand, they can only work hard and struggle to make a living.
You still have to be born into the right family!
Ye Chenliang and the others were also drawn to the yacht.
"Damn, this is what a human life should be like."
Ye Chenliang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The others nodded in agreement, expressing their envy.
"Alright, they have their own fate, we have our own lives, everyone has their own good things and their own happiness, what's there to envy?"
Feng Ye smiled, not envious at all.
Everyone has their own way of living; their life trajectories and experiences differ.
He is neither jealous of others nor self-pitying.
Yachts are toys for the rich, but they are not actually practical.
In contrast, if he had money in the future, he would like to buy a fishing boat.
In your free time, go fishing at sea with a few close friends and enjoy the tranquility and fun of the ocean – that's true bliss.
However, now is clearly not the time to think about these things.
Just as Feng Ye was about to look away, he noticed two people on the yacht reeling in the line.
He then looked around again, wanting to see what kind of fish they had caught.
The two men spun the reel, and the fishing line was quickly pulled back, resulting in two gleaming, flat, and long fish being pulled out of the water one after another.
The slender fish shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light.
"Ribbonfish? They're fishing for ribbonfish?"
Feng Ye took a closer look and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
Doesn't that mean that if there are ribbonfish in the surrounding waters, then it's very likely that ribbonfish will also be caught in the trawl net?
Ribbonfish have the habit of moving vertically in groups, day and night.
They live in groups in the middle and lower layers of the ocean during the day and are active at night on the bottom of the sea.
"Raise the net and check if there are any ribbonfish in it!"
Although the operation only lasted a little over two hours, he was already eager to know the result.
If they do manage to catch some, then they can then target the area for fishing.
Although ribbonfish are cheap, they can be quite valuable if consumed in large quantities.
He shouted and ran towards the stern of the boat first.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenliang and the others immediately ran to the aft deck to prepare to cast their nets.
With the help of winches, net winding machines, cranes, and other machines working in turn, the trawl net was slowly pulled onto the ship.
As the object in the net gradually became visible, everyone's attention focused on it.
"Haha, we actually caught some ribbonfish, and quite a lot of them..."
Before he finished speaking, a large package of goods was dumped onto the deck.
The ribbonfish, just pulled from the water, were still lively and shimmering with silver light, quite dazzling.
However, they can't keep jumping around for long; they'll soon lose their energy.
Ribbonfish die immediately upon being taken out of the water, and their color will become much duller, resembling the frozen ones sold in the market.
Feng Ye looked at the ribbonfish, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
There are indeed ribbonfish in the surrounding waters, and there should be quite a few; it's a large school of fish.
The net was cast, and the quantity looked quite large; there was a dense layer on top, and even more was buried underneath.
The exact number can only be determined by sorting out the scores.
Ye Chenliang and his team did not rush to sort the fish, but instead organized the trawl nets so they could continue releasing them.
Feng Ye happily used his foot to paddle through the pile of fish, checking the catch from this net.
Upon closer inspection, he made another discovery, which made him even happier.
"Haha, prawns, so many prawns, this net has a great haul."
Shrimp are much more expensive than ribbonfish.
Moreover, judging from their numbers, they must have swum in groups and been caught in their trawl nets.
This is truly a double blessing.
Ye Chenliang and the others were overjoyed and praised their good luck today.
After they tidied up the trawl net and put it back down, they brought over baskets and quickly began sorting the contents.
At this moment, Feng Ye had already gotten into the driver's seat.
"Ah Can, this net had a great haul; we caught a lot of ribbonfish and shrimp."
Ah-Can said happily, "I just saw it. Should we just start trawl around here?"
"Of course."
Feng Ye nodded vigorously, "This sea area has such good resources, we should definitely trawle more nets and try to catch more fish."
"Okay."
Ah-chan turned the steering wheel, adjusted the course, and kept the Dong Sheng operating in this area.
"Hey, Ye-ge, do you think the Harvest ship might also be delayed until the ribbonfish arrives?"
"They're all in the same sea area and not far apart, so it's very likely. I'll call and ask."
As Feng Ye spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie from the maritime radio station and made a call.
