Feng Xuan folded the form in half, stuffed it into his pocket, and casually asked, "Did you know about Uncle Jun's plan to install a fish finder?"
"I know, he told me yesterday, and I agreed. So, do you have any objections?"
"No, I just heard that Uncle Jun wanted to install a fish finder, and also wanted to install one on the Dong Sheng."
"Go ahead and pretend if you want."
Feng Ye agreed without even considering it.
If all three ships have fish finders, the coverage area will be wider, and the chances of finding schools of fish will be greater.
Even if you're unlucky and don't find any fish, fish finders can still help with trawling and can improve fishing efficiency to some extent.
"If you have no objections, then when we get back, I'll go with Uncle Jun to see where it's cheaper to install it."
"You guys figure it out yourselves."
"Um."
Feng Xuan nodded, "Let's go help move them too, it'll be faster."
"good."
The two hadn't walked far when they suddenly heard Ye Chenliang exclaim, "Look over there! A big fish is coming! Could it be that group of killer whales from yesterday?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, ran to the side of the boat, and stared intently at it.
In the distance, waves surged on the sea, and a huge figure could be vaguely seen swimming.
"It's too far away, I can't see very clearly, I'll go get the binoculars."
Feng Ye turned around and ran towards the driver's seat.
Without saying a word, Feng Xuan followed behind.
Upon reaching the cockpit, Feng Ye quickly picked up his binoculars and observed for a while: "It really is a group of orcas. It should be the same group from yesterday, and the number matches up to roughly."
Orcas are highly migratory animals and have no territorial instincts, but the probability of two groups of orcas of roughly the same size appearing in the same sea area is infinitely close to zero.
"Let me see it."
Feng Xuan snatched the binoculars, placed them on his nose, observed them carefully for a moment, and confirmed, "That's right, they are indeed orcas, and there are quite a few of them."
"Strange, why are they back again?"
Feng Ye said with some doubt.
Feng Xuan joked, "Could it be that they've become attached to you and are coming back for more food?"
"If that's the case, then it's actually quite possible."
Feng Ye frowned slightly. "However, they're going to be disappointed today; there aren't enough fish and shrimp to feed them."
After a long day of fishing, there were plenty of fish and shrimp in the hold, but they were all marketable and not meant to be fed to the orcas.
All the worthless little fish and shrimp were swept into the sea while the deck was being cleaned.
What we have now is just a net that has been hauled up and hasn't had time to be sorted yet.
"Feed as much as you can; there's nothing we can do if we really don't have any."
Feng Xuan laughed, "Hehe, I missed them yesterday, but I didn't expect them to come again today. I have to go down and feed them."
With that, he put the binoculars on the dashboard, turned around, and jogged away from the driver's cab.
The crew members of both ships were not carrying supplies; they were all gathered on the deck of the Donglai.
A person had a basket in front of them, picking out cheap fish and shrimp to put into the basket, preparing to feed them to the orcas later.
The crew of the Dong Sheng were unaware of their feat the previous day, but after Ye Chenliang and the others gave a vivid description, they all understood the orca's purpose and naturally became enthusiastic about preparing for the feeding.
After Feng Xuan went down to the deck, he quickly grabbed a basket and began picking out fish and shrimp with lightning speed.
Feng Ye, however, took his time and went to the bedroom first to wake up A-Can.
He remembered that yesterday Ah-Can had blamed him for not waking him up.
If I don't call it today, I'll probably get complained about again.
Ah-Can was sound asleep when he was suddenly woken up. His pent-up dissatisfaction immediately turned into morning grumpiness. He rubbed his eyes and grumbled, "What is it? It's so early in the morning, can't a person get any sleep?"
"Then you can continue sleeping, I won't disturb you."
Feng Ye wasn't going to put up with him. He said something irritatingly and turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can immediately sobered up a bit: "Wait, what exactly happened?"
"The orcas are here again."
Feng Ye tossed out a sentence without turning his head.
Ah-Can was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up, all sleepiness gone: "Really? Then I have to go see!"
He quickly dressed and went down to the deck.
At this moment, the orcas were already swimming alongside the boat, and the boatmen were throwing the fish and shrimp from their baskets into the sea.
The orcas leaped out of the water, opening their mouths wide to catch the food, splashing water everywhere.
Ah-Can excitedly ran over, picked up a boatman's basket full of fish and shrimp, and enthusiastically went to the side of the boat.
The boatman was speechless at Ah Can's excitement.
I've been collecting them so painstakingly for so long, and I haven't even had my fill yet, and now they're gone.
But there was nothing he could do; it had already been taken away, and he couldn't very well try to take it back.
Moreover, Ah Chan is one of the bosses.
He shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to take another basket and continue picking through the food.
"Haha, these guys are really smart, they've come to our door again asking for food."
Ah-chan laughed loudly, threw half a basket of fish and shrimp into the sea, then threw the basket aside and tried to snatch another boatman's basket.
Before Ah-Can could get close, the boatman quickly picked up his basket and ran to the side, grinning as he said, "Not this time, you have to let me have my fun too!"
Helpless, Ah-Can had no choice but to pick up the fish and shrimp himself.
Feng Ye stood aside, watching the group of people who still had a childlike heart, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he joined in, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
The net on the deck weighs approximately 8,000 jin (4,000 catties), with nearly half of it consisting of seaweed, seagrass, mud, sand, and other garbage and worthless seafood.
The fish and shrimp available to feed orcas are even fewer, estimated to be only around 3,000 jin (1,500 catties).
"Hey, do you guys think these orcas will come back to ask us for food again tomorrow?"
"Judging from their posture, it's highly likely."
"Yes, they can come today, and they're very likely to come tomorrow too."
"So, when we're cleaning the deck, could we leave some fish and shrimp on the deck instead of throwing them all away, and wait for the orcas to come and feed them?"
"Great idea! Anyway, there's plenty of space on the deck, so it won't get in the way if we put it aside."
"That's certainly possible. If we prepare in advance, we won't have to pick up and feed them on the spot like we did today."
"Okay, let's do it that way..."
The group chatted excitedly, their laughter filling the air, and the dozen or so people were having a great time.
On the other side, Xiao Zhaojun also saw this scene and wanted to come and participate, but the Harvest was already in operation.
We can't just put the net away just to play, can we?
That's not worth it at all.
If he hadn't gone offline yet, playing around with the internet wouldn't have been a problem, but now that he was offline, he could only watch from afar, secretly envious.
