The place we went to this time was already quite far away, and as we searched for fish, the fishing boat sailed further and further away.
It will probably take several hours to get back.
Everyone's catch has been good these past two days, and Chen Feng discussed it with the other bosses and decided to head back early.
Just after lunch, an announcement came over the loudspeaker:
"Dear guests, the fishing boat is about to return home. Please pack your belongings in advance."
The return trip was very lively on the boat. Chen Feng and his younger brother were collecting fish on the boat, and the owners of the fishing boats all had smiles on their faces.
Everyone has had a pretty good catch these past few days; basically, everyone has caught several big fish weighing over 10 pounds each. It's definitely not realistic to take them all home.
However, these bosses were not short of money, so they kept the tuna and pomfret, and sold the rest to Chen Feng.
Although the two most expensive fish are missing, there are still quite a few mackerel, sea bass, barracuda, and pomfret, so the total quantity is still considerable.
Moreover, Chen Daqiang and Chen Hu caught quite a few fish, and even Shen Qingmei, who was live-streaming from the side, caught a pomfret and a 20-pound tuna.
Chen Feng didn't want to make money off his own family, so the members of the Chen family were all left to sell fish on their own.
Although Chen Feng didn't fish, he sold a lot of bait for groundbaiting in the past two days, as well as several other types of fishing gear, and made quite a bit of money.
For this voyage, the bosses chartered the boat and covered the fuel costs.
Including the bait and fishing gear sold, as well as the fish collected, Chen Feng should be able to earn at least ten thousand yuan from this trip.
Chen Daqiang bought the fishing boat a few years ago. Chen Feng used the money he had saved over the years to rent the boat from his family and then converted it into a fishing boat.
Chen Daqiang and Chen Hu helped out on the boat and were paid wages. Chen Feng took the lion's share of the profits from the fishing boat.
Shen Qingmei's live-streamed fishing from her boat attracted a considerable number of viewers because of its authentic content and daily broadcasts.
Especially today, when they encountered a school of tuna, their fan base increased by over 100,000.
The young couple, back in their cabin, couldn't suppress their smiles.
The two discussed that they could organize more two-day, one-night deep-sea fishing trips like this in the future.
After drifting on the fishing boat for two days, Chen Zhiyao felt much more at ease when she stepped onto the dock.
Knowing that there would be tuna and pomfret this time, Mr. and Mrs. Yang were waiting at the dock early in the morning.
As soon as we arrived at the shop, Mr. Yang hurriedly started weighing the tuna and pomfret.
"The price of tuna varies depending on its size. Tuna under 40 jin is 35 yuan per jin, tuna under 30 jin is 28 yuan per jin, and tuna under 20 jin is 20 yuan per jin."
"These pomfret are of good size. Those weighing over two jin are 500 yuan per jin, and those weighing less than two jin are 400 yuan per jin."
The price was a bit higher than the grandfather and grandson had expected, but naturally they had no objections.
Chen Zhiyao's tuna are all over 30 jin each, totaling 63 jin, at 35 yuan per jin, for a total of 2205 yuan.
A pomfret weighing over two jin (approximately 1 kg) costs 2.1 jin (approximately 1.8 kg) and is priced at 500 yuan per jin, totaling 1050 yuan.
A pomfret weighing less than two jin (approximately 1 kg) costs 1.3 jin (approximately 0.65 kg) and is priced at 400 yuan per jin, totaling 520 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao earned 3,775 yuan just from these two types of fish.
Grandpa Chen also caught two yellowfin tuna, each weighing over 20 jin (10 kg), totaling 46 jin (23 kg). At 28 yuan per jin, the total cost was 1288 yuan.
The old man only caught one pomfret, weighing 1.5 jin (approximately 0.75 kg), which cost 400 yuan per jin, totaling 600 yuan.
The old man's price is 1888 yuan.
Although the remaining catch is not as valuable as pomfret and tuna, it is plentiful.
Chen Zhiyao, in particular, mostly caught large fish.
36 jin of mackerel, 33 yuan per jin, totaling 1188 yuan.
38 jin of barracuda, 11 yuan per jin, total 418 yuan. 15 jin of sea bass, 38 yuan per jin, total 570 yuan.
Golden pomfret, 18 jin, 30 yuan per jin, total 540 yuan. White pomfret, 25 jin, 28 yuan per jin, total 700 yuan.
With all the fish caught, Chen Zhiyao earned a total of 7,191 yuan.
Looking at the transfer information on her phone, she muttered to herself:
"It seems like I don't earn as much as I used to when I went out to sea to go fishing."
As soon as the money arrived in her account, Chen Zhiyao's points in the system were also updated accordingly.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 1, Beachcombing Level 3
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 10 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
Looking at the more than 10,000 points in the system, Chen Zhiyao felt much better.
"I have enough points to buy the Lucky Fishing Rod. Let's buy it and see how it works. I can't upgrade it and still not earn as much as I used to when I was fishing at the beach."
The purchasing station was crowded and noisy, so Chen Zhiyao didn't dare to stay in the system for long. After seeing the points update, she closed the system.
At this time, Grandpa Chen's fish catch was settled.
22 jin of barracuda, 11 yuan per jin, totaling 242 yuan. 23 jin of sea bass, 38 yuan per jin, totaling 874 yuan.
20 jin of golden pomfret, 30 yuan per jin, totaling 600 yuan. 33 jin of white pomfret, 28 yuan per jin, totaling 924 yuan.
18 catties of mackerel, 33 yuan per catty, totaling 594 yuan.
Grandpa Chen's catch from fishing these past two days totaled 5122 pieces.
Chen Zhiyao originally thought that tuna and betta fish were rarer, which is why they were more expensive.
However, even ordinary seafood is much more expensive than before, with each item costing several dollars more than usual.
Chen Zhiyao looked at Li Qingqing and couldn't help but ask quietly:
"Sister Li, why are seafood prices so high today? Each item is several yuan more expensive than a few days ago."
Li Qingqing finished tidying up the fish she had caught, looked up and laughed heartily:
"New Year's Day is just two days away. It's a holiday, so all kinds of seafood are going up in price."
I've been quite tired these past two days; both my arms are completely exhausted.
Chen Zhiyao had originally planned to rest at home for two days, but now that seafood prices have gone up, she can't afford to rest anymore and plans to go to an uninhabited island to go beachcombing and fishing tomorrow.
Her rented boat lease expires in a few days, so she might as well make some extra money in the next few days.
When the lease expires, she will take a break for a while, and then she will return the apartment in Guangzhou to get a refund.
When I go to Guangzhou, I can stay for a few more days and buy gold bracelets for my mom and grandma at the same time.
Moreover, the matter of buying a boat needs to be put on the agenda, and I wonder how the inquiries with my mother are going.
There are still many things to do. As for learning to drive, I can only postpone it until next year's fishing ban.
Chen Zhiyao had just sold the fish, and her uncle and the others had also finished their business. They all went home together with smiles on their faces.
Chen Feng had originally planned to rest tomorrow and then take people out to sea for fishing on the weekend.
Seeing that seafood prices had risen considerably, the family decided to go clamming and fishing on a nearby island.
To avoid the two families clashing, Chen Zhiyao and Chen Feng agreed that her uncle's family would go to Dolphin Island, while she and her grandfather would go to Freshwater Island.
