At seven o'clock in the morning, Feng Ye woke up from his sleep.
Ah-Can, who was sleeping soundly in the upper bunk, was snoring softly.
Feng Ye didn't wake him, letting him continue sleeping for a while.
Stepping out of the sleeping pod, you arrive at the driver's cab in front.
"Good morning, Uncle!"
Feng Ye greeted him.
Feng Jialing turned around and glanced at him: "Are you awake?"
"Hmm, how many nets did I collect after I went to sleep last night?"
"We started one net at 3:30, and we're starting another one now."
"Really? Then it seems you woke up at just the right time. I'll go down and take a look."
When Feng Ye went down to the deck, a large package full of goods was just being pulled onto the water by the net-rolling machine.
He walked to the stern of the boat and looked out at the sea. A large number of silvery-white and golden-yellow fish were emerging from the mesh of the trawl net.
Although he didn't recognize the type of fish at first glance, it didn't stop him from being happy: "Haha, another bountiful catch! I'll give you all an extra red envelope when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenliang and the others were overjoyed.
"Thank you so much, it's just what we should do..."
"A good harvest is great! You guys make money, and we can get a bigger commission too. Wow, if every net could be this good..."
"You've worked hard. First, hoist the fishing nets up. After you sort the goods, you can go catch some sleep. You've been up all night and haven't had much sleep."
"We're not sleepy for now. We can take a nap after lunch."
"Okay, you guys figure it out yourselves. If you're tired, go and rest."
A large package of goods was hoisted from the sea. Once the fishing net was untied, the entire load was dumped onto the deck, and everyone was excited.
"Holy crap, the internet is flooded again! So many golden pomfret!"
"So many, so many..."
The golden pomfret shimmered in the morning light, gleaming with a golden luster, like small ingots scattered on the deck.
They huddled together densely, leaping about.
Golden pomfret, also known as oval pomfret or yellow pomfret, is a medium to large-sized, warm-water, mid-to-upper-level fish belonging to the genus *Carangidae* in the order Perciformes. In terms of body shape, golden pomfret is extremely similar to silver pomfret.
However, there is a clear difference in the color of their bodies.
Silver pomfret is silvery-white with a slightly yellowish-gray upper part, hence its name.
Golden pomfret, on the other hand, is silvery-white with a golden tinge.
In particular, all the fins are golden yellow, and the base of the fins is darker in color.
The only drawback is that, in terms of both price and taste, golden pomfret is not as good as silver pomfret.
Looking at the scene before him, Feng Ye's eyes gleamed with excitement.
There was so much work to be done with this net that it piled up on the deck like a small mountain.
The tops of the nets are almost taller than a person, far more than the two nets that were initially dragged out.
The entire deck was covered, even up to their shoes.
They had nowhere to put their feet.
After the various seafood items were poured out, the ones still alive on the surface were jumping around wildly.
He turned to look at the three of them, and saw that their faces were full of shock.
"That's too much! This net alone might weigh nearly 10,000 jin (5,000 kg). It's outrageous..."
"More than the previous net we caught..."
"Yeah, I've seen internet outages before, but I've never seen this many. There are just too many..."
The three of them were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, standing there motionless.
"It's a pity there were too many useless fish like mackerel. It would have been great if the whole net had been full of golden pomfret."
Although Feng Ye thought so too, he knew it was almost impossible.
There are many kinds of fish in the sea, and when trawlers are used for fishing, all kinds of fish can be caught in the net.
It's not entirely impossible to catch only one species of fish in a single net, but the chances are practically zero; there will always be some other fish mixed in.
Although there were many miscellaneous items, the number of golden pomfret in this net was quite large, accounting for about one-third, which was a very considerable income.
Besides, most of the groceries are useless, but many can be sold for money; it's just a matter of quantity.
"The more goods you have, the better, and the bigger the bonus you'll receive."
Feng Ye smiled broadly and continued, "Get to work! First, put the nets down, then quickly sort them. The sun's out, don't let them sit in the sun for too long."
"Okay, okay..."
Han Qiwen and Luo Zhiping diligently prepared the trawl net and put it back into the sea.
Then, he dragged over a basket and squatted on the deck to sort the catch.
"These golden pomfret are really big, each one is plump and chubby, they're sure to fetch a good price."
Han Qiwen picked up a golden pomfret and nodded in satisfaction.
Luo Zhiping also picked one up and examined it carefully: "Yes, each one weighs two or three pounds. They are truly rare and high-quality goods."
"There are so many, how long will it take us to finish picking them all?"
"Hmm, it won't be good if they're left out in the sun too long, they'll lose their freshness. More people means faster processing, or should we wake up the rest of them who are still sleeping?"
"I think it's very necessary..."
Feng Ye is teaching Ye Chenliang how to identify fish.
Each net catches a different species. Some have been taught before, but others are species we haven't encountered before, or species that look similar and are easily confused. This requires careful identification.
Just then, he heard them whispering to each other and checked the time.
It's almost 7:30 now, it's time to wake them up and help.
It doesn't matter if it's slower at night.
However, the daytime temperature is high and the sun is strong, so the fish must be processed quickly after being hauled up and moved into the hold to be kept fresh with ice.
"I'll go call them."
Just as he stood up, before he had taken two steps, he saw Ah Can and Xiao Mingshi.
They were yawning, their mouths still open, when they saw the mountain of fish piled up on the deck.
In an instant, they froze at the doorway, their mouths agape and their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Let's go? What are you all standing there for? Why aren't you moving?"
Du Yulin, who was following closely behind, was blocked by them. He walked around them and was also stunned when he saw the fish on the deck.
"Am I still half asleep and dreaming?"
He rubbed his eyes hard and pinched himself hard, wincing in pain, before he was sure he wasn't dreaming.
"This...this is too much, isn't it?"
He murmured to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and shock.
Ah-Can and Xiao-Ming-Shi finally came to their senses and swallowed hard.
"Wow, there's so much stock! This is ridiculous!"
"Wow! This is so much! Is this all from one net?"
Seeing their shocked expressions, Feng Ye laughed and said, "Haha, that's right, this is the whole catch. Don't just stand there like idiots, come and help us."
"My goodness, it really is a whole net full of goods! We're rich..."
"I just opened my eyes and saw the boat full of fish. Did we run into a school of fish?"
"Of course, otherwise how could it have dragged on for so long?"
"This looks to weigh at least ten thousand jin, right?"
"There's such a huge pile, it's probably quite alarming."
"Wow, that's amazing..."
