Feng Ye looked at the trawl net surfacing, his face, which had been tense, finally broke into a slight smile.
"This batch of goods is pretty good; I estimate it's about five or six tons."
Although the current situation is not optimistic, seeing such gains still brings some comfort.
"The first net this morning brought in 9,000 jin of goods, and we still have a lot left to sort. I thought that was enough, but I didn't expect this net to have even more."
Ye Chenliang wiped the sweat from his face and a smile appeared on his face.
While pleased, Han Qiwen couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity I didn't see any good stuff; there were mostly miscellaneous items..."
"General merchandise will do, it'll just fill up the fish hold and we can take it back to dry."
They originally planned to return after lunch tomorrow and arrive in the county before midnight.
Therefore, we called the fish-collecting boat again yesterday and emptied the fish hold.
Since selling all the goods yesterday afternoon, I haven't thrown the useless small fish and shrimp back into the sea; I've been picking them out and packing them up.
However, so far, the fish hold is still quite empty; not much has been loaded.
After all, the time was short, less than a day, and they hadn't even finished catching a few nets.
"Ah, if only there hadn't been a typhoon, we could have kept going until tomorrow and then gone back. The fish hold would be almost full by then."
Ye Chenliang sighed, a look of regret on his face.
Han Qiwen also said, "Yes, this typhoon is causing so much trouble and is so dangerous..."
Feng Ye urged, "There's no point in talking about this now. Let's hurry up and wrap things up. We need to get out of here before the typhoon hits."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenliang and Han Qiwen dared not delay any longer and quickly sped up their work.
This is not the time for chatting and joking; we need to get moving.
The weather at sea can change in an instant, especially after a typhoon arrives, when it becomes unpredictable and fraught with danger.
The three people worked quickly and in perfect coordination, and soon they had hauled the net in.
Ah-chan anxiously looked down through the windshield.
Once the trawl net was hoisted onto the boat, he immediately increased the throttle and accelerated back to shore.
On the other side, Harvest also accelerated closely behind.
The two ships, one after the other, sped forward, cutting through the waves like lightning.
Fortunately, the typhoon is still far away, and its impact on this sea area is negligible.
The sea was relatively calm at this time, although the waves were slightly larger than in the previous days, but it did not affect navigation.
"You guys start sorting, I'll go and get the others to help."
Feng Ye turned off the crane and jogged up the stairs to the second floor of the ship's deck.
A typhoon is coming soon, and no one knows when the waves will become raging.
At that time, we won't be able to work on the deck anymore; we'll all have to hide in the cabins.
Therefore, we need to sort all the cargo on this deck and move it into the fish hold before it's too late.
But how long would it take for just the three of them to finish? They need more people.
Besides, there are other things to do before the typhoon arrives.
For example, put away all kinds of tools on the deck, and tie and secure movable items with ropes, etc.
In short, we should prepare everything that needs to be prepared and take precautions in advance.
Feng Ye woke up the four people who were sleeping, and they rubbed their sleepy eyes.
They stayed up for the latter half of the night, but had only been asleep for a little over an hour.
After being woken up, Feng Xuan was still a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, A-Ye?"
As Feng Ye walked outside, he said, "A typhoon is coming. Get up and help quickly."
"What? A typhoon? How come there's a typhoon?"
Feng Xuan instantly woke up, all sleepiness vanished, and she quickly got out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and started putting them on.
"Isn't it normal to have typhoons this season? We were just unlucky to run into one."
At this point, Feng Ye recalled the marine weather forecast and said with resentment, "That damn weather forecast has really messed us up."
"I don't know what they were doing, issuing a typhoon warning so late..."
When will the typhoon arrive? Will it arrive soon?
"Yes, they said they'd arrive in the evening."
"Damn, that's way too fast!"
Feng Xuan couldn't help but swear, and in his heart he cursed the entire meteorological bureau.
He quickly dressed and rushed off to work, not even bothering to wash up.
With four more people, the sorting process is much faster.
But because there were so many items, it still took more than two hours to finish.
The group was exhausted and covered in sweat, but none of them dared to stop and rest.
After all, the typhoon was fast approaching, and time was of the essence.
After tidying up the deck, I checked the cabin again to make sure everything was secured and wouldn't move due to the wind and waves.
With everything ready, the two ships accelerated forward.
Just past the halfway point of the journey, around 2 PM, the prelude to the typhoon arrived, and its impact gradually became apparent.
The waves on the sea gradually grew larger, one after another, constantly crashing against the hull of the ship.
The ship was rocking more and more violently.
The people on the boat were all unsteady on their feet and could only hold onto the railings or grab onto whatever was around them.
"Get everyone inside the cabin. Don't stay on the deck; it's too dangerous."
Feng Ye shouted something and quickly climbed into the driver's seat.
The waves are too big right now, and he doesn't feel comfortable letting Ah-Can drive the boat.
