A moment later, the Dong Sheng also came close.
Feng Ye first asked about the harvest and learned that it was very good.
The weight pulled up in this net is also very heavy, no less than 40,000 jin (20,000 kg).
There were 38 tuna among them.
Although there are fewer of them, they are generally quite large, with most weighing over 80 or 90 pounds each, and only a handful of them are small.
He then told his brother about his plan to sell goods ashore.
Feng Xuan went to Jinghong a few times and became familiar with the place; both President Qin and Fatty Nie knew him.
He nodded to indicate that he understood, and then arranged for the boatmen to come and work on the Donglai.
As for the fish on the Dong Sheng, he shared the same idea as Xiao Zhaojun: they could sort them on the way.
Although both the Dongsheng and Fengshou ships had a resting crew and only half of them were working, with Feng Ye and his team, there were a total of 12 people, and they worked very quickly.
The work that was originally scheduled to last until the afternoon is now basically finished before noon.
All the tuna were transferred to the Dong Sheng, while the bombfish were split between the two ships, with half on each.
The Dong Sheng should not bear the full weight; excessive load would affect speed and safety.
After finishing the work, Feng Ye split the remaining half of the tuna in half and gave one half to Xiao Zhaojun and the other to Feng Xuan.
"We killed one this morning, ate half of it, and you can try the rest."
Xiao Zhaojun weighed the tuna in his hand and laughed, "Wow, it's about 20 pounds. Only you would be willing to eat such a big tuna."
Feng Xuan joked, "If it comes to being willing to eat, no one can compare to A-Ye. Every time he gets something good, he always wants to save some to eat. I remember last year when he caught a little green dragon, he insisted on keeping a few, which made Uncle Fa stomp his feet in anger and scold him for being a spendthrift."
Feng Ye laughed and said, "We work so hard fishing at sea, what's wrong with indulging a little luxury now and then? It's all fished out of the sea, so we don't have to spend money to buy it."
"That's a pretty high-sounding reason of yours."
Xiao Zhaojun shook his head. "I can't bear to eat something this expensive. It's more practical to save it to sell for money."
Feng Xuan also said, "I was reluctant to part with it, but he insisted on eating it, so I had no choice but to enjoy it too."
Xiao Zhaojun laughed loudly: "Haha, thanks to Aye, we are in for a treat today."
Afterwards, he and Feng Xuan called the boatmen back to their respective boats to prepare for departure.
Feng Ye stood at the bow of the boat, waving and shouting to the two ships, "Uncle Jun, Brother, have a safe journey, I'll be waiting for you to come back here."
"We're leaving now. Please be careful here."
The Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships started up one after the other, carrying a full load of their harvest, and slowly sailed away.
Feng Ye only looked away when the two ships had sailed away and disappeared on the horizon.
They should also cast their nets and continue fishing.
He turned and went to the wheelhouse to start the boat, and told Ye Chenliang and the other two to go behind and set the net.
After he started the boat, the three of them dragged the prepared fishing net onto the stern slide and put it into the sea.
The trawl net slowly unfolds in the seawater, like a hungry giant python opening its blood-red maw to devour all the marine life that passes by.
Feng Ye's attention was also focused on the screen of the fish finder.
The screen doesn't show large schools of fish now, unlike the screen being full of red in the early morning, but there are still quite a few fish, and they are fairly dense.
Following the fish scout's instructions, Feng Ye adjusted his course and steered precisely towards an area where fish and shrimp were relatively abundant.
After setting the nets, Ye Chenliang and the other two did not rest but were cleaning the fish hold.
In addition, there are decks waiting to be cleaned.
There wasn't time to clean it up during the sorting process. We only picked out the valuable fish, leaving the miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and garbage behind. We had to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Feng Ye drove the boat in the wheelhouse for a while, but got so bored that he left the wheelhouse and went down to the deck.
Now, only the Donglai is adrift on the sea, with no other ships, reefs, or islands nearby. It doesn't matter that no one is watching over it.
There were many kinds of seafood left on the deck, mostly anchovies, prawns, krill and other small fish and shrimp.
However, some fish are quite large, even weighing several kilograms.
Unfortunately, nobody collects them; they're worthless and can only be thrown back into the sea as garbage.
In addition, there were quite a few crabs. Some were already dead, but many were still alive, waving their large pincers and crawling around on the deck.
Crabs are only valuable when they are alive; once they die, they are worthless.
Many seabirds gathered on the deck, vying to peck at the scattered fish and shrimp, occasionally letting out a few clear calls.
Feng Ye's arrival startled the seabirds, which took flight and circled in the air, seemingly protesting his disturbance.
But some bold seabirds remained unmoved, hopping around on the deck and continuing to peck at the scraps.
He didn't try to drive them away; they were going to be thrown away anyway, and if they didn't become food for seabirds, they would become food for other creatures in the ocean.
He found a basket and a shovel and began cleaning the deck, shoveling fish, shrimp, crabs, and trash into the basket.
After filling the basket, they carried it to the side of the boat and dumped it all into the sea.
The seabirds, which were initially frightened, could no longer resist and quickly swooped down to fight for the food.
The sea suddenly became lively, with water splashing everywhere and birdsong rising and falling.
Suddenly, a fish head with its mouth wide open appeared below the surface of the water, half-hidden, and swallowed the fish, shrimp, and crabs he had poured into the sea along with the seawater in one gulp.
Even an unfortunate seabird was caught in the throes and vanished instantly into the gaping mouth of the fish.
"Holy crap, a great white shark?"
He didn't get a clear look, but judging from its huge size and sharp teeth, it was likely a great white shark.
