Feng Ye put down the walkie-talkie but didn't rush down.
Instead, he lit a cigarette and quietly observed the situation outside through the window.
The typhoon is still raging, with torrential rain pouring down, and it's unclear how long it will last.
Waves crashed against the ship and the shore, creating a deafening roar.
He stared blankly into the distance until he finished his cigarette, then threw the butt out of the driver's compartment, letting it wash into the sea with the rain.
It was at this moment that he noticed a person on the aft deck of the Harvest ship not far away, who seemed to be catching fish.
Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
Although the heavy rain obscured the view, making the figure somewhat blurry and difficult to identify.
However, he already had the answer in his heart: it should be Xiao Zhaojun.
"They told us to stay in the cabin and not go out, but they ran out themselves!"
He hadn't expected Xiao Zhaojun to be such a man of action; he couldn't resist going out to find fish.
However, he also understood Xiao Zhaojun's thoughts.
Who wouldn't want to get a few fish for free?
Moreover, given their recent example of getting free catfish, it's understandable that Xiao Zhaojun's greed was aroused.
However, moving around on the deck during a typhoon is indeed dangerous.
Even with a rope, it's not absolutely safe.
Of course, life safety can be guaranteed, but whether or not one gets injured is another matter.
"I hope Uncle Jun is alright."
Feng Ye prayed silently in his heart.
What we gain is not important; the most important thing is that everyone is safe.
He picked up the walkie-talkie again, wanting to remind Xiao Zhaojun to be careful, but after thinking about it, he put it down in the end.
After all, Xiao Zhaojun was an old fisherman; what storms hadn't he seen?
Presumably, they know what to do without his reminder.
Never mind, let him be.
Thinking this, he stopped paying attention to Xiao Zhaojun and turned to go down to the cabin.
Ah-Can and the others hadn't returned yet, not even Ye Chenliang, who was seasick.
The cabin was empty.
However, their shouts and yells could be faintly heard from the aft deck, as if they had discovered something new.
Feng Ye found a rope and tied it around himself to ensure his safety before cautiously walking out.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw that the hairy catfish lying in the passageway had been drained of blood and was no longer bleeding, so I thought I would drag it into the cabin first.
He pulled on the rope that held the catfish, dragging it little by little into the cabin.
The catfish is too big and heavy, making it difficult to drag.
It took him a great deal of effort to drag the big fish completely into the cabin and throw it into a corner.
Ideally, it should have been towed into the fish hold and then covered with crushed ice.
But isn't the situation special right now?
The typhoon was raging outside, and the ship was rocking violently, so he was too lazy to bother with it anymore.
Let's make do for now and see what happens after the typhoon passes.
He wiped the sweat from his brow, looking at the catfish that was about to bring them huge profits, his heart filled with joy.
"Sigh, it seems a bit of a waste to sell it like this!"
Feng Ye murmured to himself, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
How many times in a lifetime can one encounter such a rare hairy catfish?
It's very likely that this will be the only time.
In those days, it would sell for at most tens of thousands of yuan, far less than it would in the future.
In a decade or two, let alone the whole fish, the dried fish maw inside its belly, weighing up to a pound, would be worth a house.
Fish maw, one of the "Eight Treasures," is valued more valuable the larger it is.
Moreover, this is an extremely rare type of hairy catfish maw.
Although it can't reach the sky-high price of three or four million yuan per kilogram for the top-grade yellow croaker maw, it's not far off, and selling it for one or two million yuan is no problem at all.
The key is that fish maw has a very long shelf life; if stored properly, it can last for decades or even centuries.
Feng Ye once read a news article in his previous life about a man from Zhejiang Province who brought a piece of hairy catfish glue that had been preserved for 50 years to be appraised.
Although the exact value wasn't stated in the end, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that it's worth at least a million.
At this moment, Feng Ye couldn't help but start to ponder.
Or, he could extract the maw from this catfish, dry it, and store it carefully, waiting for a higher price in the future before selling it.
Once the thought pops into your head, you can't stop it.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
This catfish is so big and precious, it's such a pity to sell it like this.
But soon he shook his head, dismissing the idea.
He felt that this idea was putting the cart before the horse.
It's true that the maw of the Mao tai fish will be very valuable in the future, but it's not cheap now either.
Moreover, money is valuable now.
Even if it doesn't sell for 100,000 or 200,000, it should definitely sell for 50,000 or 60,000.
With this, adding a little more money, the deposit for a large ship would be secured.
Feng Ye was confident that he could earn at least a million dollars with this large ship in just a few years, not even ten or twenty years.
Therefore, keeping it in your possession is not very meaningful; it's just waiting for it to appreciate in value. It's better to convert it into cash and then order a ship.
With more boats, fishing efficiency will be higher and profits will be greater.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye couldn't help but laugh.
Now that I've made up my mind, I'm not going to dwell on it anymore.
He turned and left the cabin, intending to check on Ah-Can and the others.
