While the boatmen complained, Feng Ye and Xiao Guowen exchanged a smile, full of satisfaction.
So many pufferfish means there's potential to make a lot of money.
What does it matter if it's a little hard and tiring?
As long as there's money to be made, I'm willing to endure any hardship or fatigue.
Xiao Guowen took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring: "Do you have 150,000 jin of this shipment?"
"It's pretty close, even if it's not 150,000, it's still more than 140,000."
Feng Ye said confidently, "We'll have to wait until we dock and weigh it to know for sure, but it certainly won't be too different."
"Tsk tsk, 150,000 catties in one net, you guys made a killing."
"You're not bad either, you also have 100,000 jin, that's a lot, isn't it?"
"Although our net also contains 100,000 jin, it is still nothing compared to yours."
Xiao Guowen exclaimed, "The weather was really good this time. We actually encountered such a huge school of Plumbago mollusks."
It's hard to believe that so many fish could be caught in one net unless you see it with your own eyes.
I doubt even if I tell A-Wu when I get back, he won't believe me.
Feng Ye also exclaimed, "Yes, our harvest today is unprecedented. No one would believe it."
"Luckily I came out with them and didn't stay at home. Otherwise, I would have missed it again."
Xiao Guowen patted his chest with relief, "We've had the Harvest for a year now, and all our previous voyages were uneventful."
I've only been out to sea with you two twice, and each time has been a pleasant surprise.
Damn, your luck is truly incredible.
"Luck is unpredictable. Maybe next time we go out to sea, we won't have any luck and there won't be any surprises."
Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
He was absolutely confident that he would catch more fish and earn more money than other boats, given his ability to attract fish.
However, he couldn't guarantee that every voyage would bring a surprise.
It really depends on luck.
Without a fish finder on board, even if there are rare and valuable goods or schools of fish around, it's not guaranteed that you can catch them.
"No, I think if I go out to sea with you guys, my luck is bound to be pretty good..."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go wake your father up. We need to discuss going back to sell our goods."
It's already past 1 a.m., and there are only four hours left until dawn.
We need to take advantage of the cooler nighttime temperature and travel as much as possible.
The ice on the ship was very limited, and it couldn't keep the fish cool indefinitely.
If we wait until the sun comes out, the goods on the deck will get stale from being exposed to the sun for too long.
That would be a huge loss.
"No need, let him sleep a little longer. Just tell me and I'll pass it on to him."
Xiao Guowen waved his hand, then asked, "Where are you planning to sell your goods?"
"Tuocheng, the nearest port should be Tuocheng."
Feng Ye also considered taking the seafood back to the county's seafood market to sell, hoping to earn more money that way.
The problem is that there's too much cargo, over a hundred tons on both ships combined. It'll take forever to sell it all; it might take two or three days.
Moreover, transferring goods from the county dock to the market is also a big problem, requiring dozens or even hundreds of trips, which incurs considerable transportation costs.
Selling directly to buyers at the docks is simpler, and you can get the money immediately.
Although the price will be lower, it can save a lot of time and effort.
With the time saved, they could go out to sea and haul in countless nets, and earn a lot of money.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to choose a more direct and efficient method: to sell the goods to the dock buyers in Tuocheng.
"Okay, whatever you say goes, I have no objection."
“When your father wakes up, tell him to go directly to Tuo City to sell goods. This will save time, and after selling the goods, you can immediately come out to trawle the nets.”
"good."
Xiao Zhaojun responded and got up to call the boatmen back to the Harvest.
"I'll go start the boat."
Ah-chan, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation, threw away his cigarette, and jogged to the driver's seat.
"Everyone has had a long day, so go get some sleep. We'll have a lot to do once we reach the shore."
"Okay, okay..."
The boatmen nodded in agreement, and after finishing their cigarettes, they dragged their weary bodies back to their sleeping quarters.
The two ships quickly started moving and sped towards Tuo City.
Feng Ye didn't go to sleep right away; he stayed in the driver's seat with A-Can.
However, not long after, Feng Xuan was awakened by the roar of the machines and sent them to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Feng Ye rubbed his eyes, glanced at the time, and it was exactly eight o'clock.
At this point, we were still quite a distance from Tuocheng, estimated to be more than an hour away.
He stretched, stepped out of the wheelhouse, and went onto the deck.
Surprisingly, there was no sun today; it was a cloudy day.
It has to be said that God was very kind to us.
The weather is perfect; the fish on the deck won't get sunburned, keeping them as fresh as possible.
He was a little worried yesterday that the sun was too strong and the ice would melt too quickly, causing the fish on top to spoil.
In retrospect, that worry was completely unnecessary.
He stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the horizon where the sea met the sky in the distance, feeling particularly relaxed and eager to see how much this batch of goods could fetch.
At this time of day, you can see many fishing boats operating on the sea, which are all out fishing at night or in the early morning.
Moreover, the closer you get to Tuo City, the more ships you see.
The fishing boats had all gone out, and when they approached the dock, they saw that there weren't many boats moored there, making it seem rather empty.
