"Harvest, Harvest..."
A short while later, Xiao Zhaojun responded through the walkie-talkie.
"Ah Ye, is something the matter?"
"Uncle Jun, have you set up the net yet?"
"Not yet, it's only been a little over two hours, not yet time to set up the net. From what you're saying, you've set up another net?"
"Yes, we just brought it in a little while ago."
"Why didn't you take three hours? You got the internet up and running so quickly?"
"You saw that yacht just now? The people on board were fishing for ribbonfish, so I thought I'd bring it up to see if they'd caught any..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhaojun asked anxiously, "Have you managed to delay it?"
"We've got it, and quite a lot of it. It looks like it weighs over 1,000 pounds, but we'll have to sort it to find out the exact amount."
Feng Ye said happily, "By the way, there are also quite a few prawns, probably several hundred pounds."
"so much?"
Xiao Zhaojun's voice rose a few decibels as he exclaimed in surprise, "Good luck! Does that mean we have a chance this time around?"
"It's hard to say about shrimp, but there's definitely hope for ribbonfish. There should be schools of ribbonfish in this area."
"Then I'll have the boatmen bring the net up and take a look."
"Remember to let me know when you have the results, let's see who pulls up more ribbonfish."
"Okay, okay..."
After ending the conversation, Feng Ye didn't stay in the driver's seat any longer. He said goodbye to A-Can and left.
He went down to the deck and looked up at the Harvest in the distance.
The Harvest ship maintained a distance of about two kilometers from the East Rising ship during its operation, never leaving each other's line of sight.
This distance is already quite far. To the naked eye, the Harvest satellite appears to have shrunk by more than half, looking only about ten meters away.
Not to mention the people on the boat, they couldn't see them at all.
At sea, the distances you can see are very far.
Under ideal conditions, such as calm seas, clear weather, and no tidal influence, a person standing on the sea surface can see a distance of about 2.5 nautical miles.
Standing on the deck of a ship, the view is much farther due to the ship's height.
At this moment, although he couldn't see clearly what the people on the Harvest were doing, he knew they were definitely busy hauling in the nets.
After watching for a while, Feng Ye looked away and turned to help sort the catch.
This net yielded a truly good catch, including ribbonfish, prawns, and some other seafood.
The quantity is small and not worth mentioning.
The main catches were ribbonfish and prawns.
Feng Ye casually picked up a ribbonfish and gestured with it.
This ribbonfish is over a meter long, with a thick body and a shimmering silver sheen, making it quite appealing.
He threw it into the basket and then grabbed another one.
The ribbonfish hauled up in this net were generally quite large.
Larger ribbonfish tend to be more expensive.
Of course, this is the price on land.
At sea, the price is the same for all fish-collecting vessels, regardless of size.
"Huh, why is this ribbonfish so short? It only has half a body."
Ye Chenliang held a tailless ribbonfish and looked at it again and again, looking very puzzled.
The ribbonfish die as soon as they are taken out of the water; by this point, they have basically lost their vitality and are no longer moving.
"The big fish eats the small fish, and then it gets bitten by the other fish."
Without thinking, Du Yulin, who was standing next to him, casually replied.
Feng Ye added with a smile, "There is a phenomenon of cannibalism among ribbonfish, so maybe it was bitten off by other ribbonfish."
Ye Chenliang examined the ribbonfish in his hand more closely.
Although the cut has healed, it is still noticeable that it is uneven, as if it was torn off by some kind of fish.
"Hmm, it must have been bitten off."
Then, he clicked his tongue and said, "It's really amazing that this ribbonfish can still live after being bitten in half."
Feng Ye and the other four boatmen, however, were not surprised.
Although such ribbonfish are rare, they have encountered them before.
"You find it strange because you haven't seen it often; once you've seen it more often, it won't seem so strange anymore."
There are many marine creatures with incredibly strong vitality.
The part that was bitten off was the tail; the internal organs weren't damaged, so it's not surprising that it's still alive—it's quite normal.
"Oh, is that so? Is it the same principle as a person being able to live even without legs?"
"almost……"
By the time the cargo sorting on the deck was finished, the sun was high in the sky, and it was past midnight.
Feng Ye checked the goods.
The number of ribbonfish far exceeded expectations, filling 27 baskets and weighing around 1600 jin (approximately 800 catties).
The prawns weighed about 350 jin (125 catties).
The other goods that could be sold also amounted to about a thousand kilograms.
There were also plenty of other useless small fish and shrimp, weighing over a thousand catties.
This is quite a good result for such a net.
After all, it only dragged on for a little over two hours, not a full three hours.
Contentment brings happiness.
Moreover, the trawling continues.
Feng Ye was very satisfied. He asked the boatmen to prepare lunch and then went up to the wheelhouse.
He was still thinking about the harvest from the Harvest.
"Ah Chan, has Uncle Jun contacted you?"
"They caught a lot of ribbonfish in their net."
"Haha, there really are schools of ribbonfish, not bad, not bad..."
"We have that yacht to thank for that."
Ah-Can laughed happily, "Otherwise, even if we pull the net up and see ribbonfish, we won't know where it was caught."
"We really have to thank them."
Feng Ye nodded, his gaze returning to the yacht on the distant sea.
