As soon as the net was hoisted onto the boat, everyone rushed forward to untie the ropes at the bottom of the net.
Instantly, a whole net full of goods poured out and landed on the deck, piling up into a small mountain.
"Mei Tong, it's all Mei Tong!"
"No, I see some other fish that are buried at the very bottom."
"I saw it too, I guess it was downloaded at the beginning of the online period."
"That's a lot, at least five thousand catties this time..."
On the deck, gasps of amazement rose and fell.
Everyone could hardly hide the excitement on their faces.
Feng Ye couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the glittering, golden Plum Blossom Fish, which resembled a mountain of gold.
Instead of sorting and packing the baskets, everyone immediately re-tied the ropes at the bottom of the net bags.
Then untie the rope that was tightly binding the net bag to the fishing net.
Finally, the net bag was put back into the water so that the pufferfish in the net could slip into the net bag.
After waiting for a while, everyone repeated the previous steps and continued to hoist the net bag onto the boat.
When the net was opened, no other fish were found; they were all Pontos.
After the two nets were filled, the entire deck was covered with pufferfish, leaving no room to even step.
Feng Ye did not allow any more cargo to be hoisted up. Instead, he instructed everyone to sort the fish on the deck, pack them into baskets, and move them into the fish hold.
“They’re all Mei Tong, no sorting is needed, just put them directly into the basket.”
"Yes, it's so convenient."
"Haha, it does save time, but it also keeps me busy. I've collected it twice, and it feels like nothing is missing from the net."
"It seems that there really might be more than just tens of thousands of kilograms."
"The more the better, I don't mind having too many."
"Yes, you can never have too many..."
Everyone busied themselves, sorting the pufferfish on the deck into baskets, and then carrying them into the fish hold and arranging them neatly.
The sun was high in the sky, and its rays shone on the busy people and on the piles of glittering golden pufferfish.
Despite the hot weather and the profuse sweating, everyone's face was filled with undisguised joy and excitement.
After all, this is real money!
As time went on, the number of fish in the fish hold increased.
It wasn't until lunchtime that everyone retreated into the cabin for a short rest and lunch.
"Ah Ye, you guys go get some sleep. You've been up all night, you must be tired."
Feng Xuan said, "The four of us can work this afternoon."
"Okay, let's go take a nap so we'll have the energy to work tonight."
Feng Ye nodded. "There's still so much stock in the network. I don't know when we'll be able to finish it all."
He was actually a little sleepy.
I was so excited before that I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Now that I've relaxed, I can feel the intense fatigue creeping in.
He threw the cigarette butt, now just a stub, into the sea, yawned, and turned to walk back towards his sleeping pod.
Lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep. The scene of catching the pufferfish kept replaying in my mind.
Each fish represents money, the reward for hard work.
Although the Pontoichthys is a common fish and not expensive, the quantity is simply too large.
Even if the unit price is only 90 cents, multiplied by tens of thousands, it is still a huge sum of money!
He couldn't help but calculate in his mind how much this net weighed, whether it really was over 100,000 kilograms.
If there are really tens of thousands of kilograms, then this trip to sea will be incredibly profitable.
The deposit I paid a few days ago for the fresh seafood boat has already been earned back, and I even have a lot more left over.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye couldn't help but get excited, and all sleepiness vanished.
"Damn, I can't think about it anymore, time to sleep, time to sleep..."
He patted his face, forcing himself to calm down and stop thinking about it.
However, the more I forced myself to sleep, the less I could sleep, and my mind kept wandering to how much money I could make from that net of mandarin fish.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already past three in the afternoon.
The sun was still shining brightly outside, and a cacophony of noise came from the deck, seemingly even more lively than before.
Feng Ye rubbed his eyes, sat up in bed, and stretched.
After resting for three hours, my mental state improved significantly.
He put on his clothes and rubber boots, and without paying attention to Ah-chan who was still sleeping, got up and walked out.
The deck was still piled high with golden pufferfish.
Everyone was busy sorting and packing the food into baskets.
Ye Chenliang and Du Yulin were among them, having woken up even earlier than him.
"How much has been harvested, and how much is still in the sea?"
As Feng Ye asked the question, he walked to the side of the ship and peered into the sea.
The net was still teeming with fish, so many that it was impossible to tell exactly how many there were.
"Holy crap, how come there are still so many?"
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, it's impossible to see how many fish are left; it feels like they haven't been caught at all."
Feng Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile.
Xiao Mingshi also said, "We can't finish collecting them all. We've been collecting them for most of the day, and there are still so many left in the nets."
"How much have you collected so far? Do you have a rough estimate?"
"I just took stock, and we've harvested about 50,000 jin (25,000 kg). It looks like there are still at least tens of thousands of jin (30,000 kg) left in the sea."
"Really over 100,000 jin?!"
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat.
