It was the same boat that collected fresh seafood the day before.
They arrived very quickly this time, just over three hours later, before 4 p.m.
As soon as we boarded the Dong Sheng, the owner of the seafood ship, surnamed Chen, cheerfully handed out cigarettes to everyone.
"Haha, your harvest is really good! You sell a whole boatload of goods every day. This is a rare sight for other fishing boats!"
As Mr. Chen spoke, he looked at the baskets of goods that had been moved out of the fish hold and piled on the deck.
Feng Ye took the cigarette and replied with a polite smile, "Thanks to Boss Chen, I've had pretty good luck today."
Mr. Chen waved his hand: "Oh, it's just that you guys were lucky, what does it have to do with me?"
After exchanging a few polite words, Feng Ye casually asked, "Mr. Chen, is the price the same as yesterday?"
"Yes, I haven't even docked yet, so the price will remain the same and won't change."
Mr. Chen said with a smile, "I was already preparing to return home, but I didn't expect you to contact me again."
To be honest, I was quite surprised to receive your goods two days in a row during this trip.
"Oh, are the fish holds all full?"
"Pretty much, I just want to get back and sell the fish."
If I can't get back tonight, I'll be delayed another day until the early hours of the day after tomorrow.
My ship can't hold much cargo anymore, it's just a waste of time.
"Haha, so it seems that contacting you to come and pick up the goods has caused you trouble?"
Although Feng Ye said this, there was not a trace of apology on his face.
What a joke! They contacted Mr. Chen to come and collect the goods, which is practically giving him money. There's no need for them to apologize.
Mr. Chen laughed and said, "Not at all, I would be happy if you contacted me. How could it be a trouble?"
Besides, on the way back, I can just drive faster; I'll always make it before the market closes.
Seafood wholesale markets open in the early hours of the morning to do business in the early morning hours; they can't stay open too late.
"In that case, let's not waste Mr. Chen's time any longer and weigh it."
"Alright, alright, I'll weigh them for you now."
Immediately, the workers on both ships got busy, weighing baskets of seafood and then transferring them to the receiving ship.
Compared to yesterday's sale, today's stock is less.
However, the time spent weighing it was not much less.
We were busy until after 5 p.m. before we finally weighed and transferred all the goods.
Then came the accounting.
Similarly, we'll make less money today.
But today, we don't need to replenish supplies such as fresh water, diesel, and ice, and we've received a lot more money.
Holding the freshly earned 5,863 yuan, Feng Ye saw off the seafood collection boat with a broad smile.
Excluding the consumption of diesel and ice, plus other costs, the net profit is approximately 5,000 yuan.
He was quite satisfied with earning so much money in one day, which further strengthened his resolve to buy a fresh catch boat and more fishing boats.
Only by continuously expanding the scale can we earn more profits.
He gazed into the distance, his heart filled with boundless longing and anticipation.
The sky was a deep blue, merging seamlessly with the dark blue sea, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ended and the sea began.
The sea and sky blend into one, vast and boundless.
Under the azure sky, seabirds soar, sometimes skimming low over the shimmering sea, sometimes soaring high into the clouds, free and unrestrained.
On the sea, fish occasionally leap out of the water, creating ripples, before quickly falling back into the water, splashing water droplets.
What a magnificent picture of birds soaring freely in the sky and fish leaping freely in the sea!
The Dong Sheng started moving again, and the trawl net was lowered, waiting to greedily feast on the seabed before being retrieved.
The fishing operation proceeded methodically, and before they knew it, another night had passed, and it was the second day of the fifth lunar month.
We'll fish for one more day today, then we have to go back tomorrow.
When Feng Ye was woken up by the urge to urinate, the sun was already high in the sky.
There was no one else in the sleeping pod; Ah-Can had already gotten up.
That's the good thing about working the first half of the night shift; after the shift ends, you can sleep a little longer, or even sleep until you naturally wake up.
Ah-chan is the same way; sometimes she gets up earlier than him, and sometimes she gets up later.
Feng Jialing didn't wake them up, letting them sleep.
As for the others, they certainly wouldn't be asked to get up and work.
After all, these two are the bosses.
What kind of employee would ask the boss to get up and do work?
Moreover, the boatmen are all there during the day, so it wouldn't make a difference if the two of them worked.
Unless there's a large school of fish and the net is full of too many fish to handle, they won't be called out of their sleeping pods to help.
However, this didn't happen on this voyage; they slept until eight or nine o'clock every day.
Feng Ye raised his wrist to look at his watch; it was just past nine o'clock.
It's really late.
He quickly got dressed, stretched, and went outside.
The sunlight was so strong that he was momentarily disoriented and had to squint.
Apart from Feng Jialing, who was steering the boat in the wheelhouse, the other six people, including A-Can, were wearing straw hats and squatting on the deck under the sun, sorting out the catch.
He also admired Feng Jialing, who had been sailing since two or three in the morning and hadn't felt sleepy at all.
And this happens every single day.
He and Ah-Can tried to persuade him, but to no avail. He wouldn't go to sleep for an hour or two until noon, after having lunch.
