This time, what they caught was a boatload of swimming crabs.
Everyone was stunned when the crabs were caught; although there were swimming crabs in the weather, they weren't plump enough.
And swimming crabs won't be showing themselves here right now.
But since the net has already been cast, we can't let the swimming crabs escape.
Pulling this net up really exhausted everyone, mainly because swimming crabs and yellow croakers are different.
Someone couldn't resist and broke open a swimming crab. When they saw how tall the crab was, everyone was stunned.
Has anyone ever seen swimming crabs that are this plump and delicious at this time of year?
More importantly, this net is very tight.
The others who followed immediately saw them pulling in their nets, and that what they were catching were swimming crabs; anyone with eyes could see that.
Everyone's scrambling to grab it now, rushing to log off.
Everyone was scrambling to salvage the items, while Seven and his crew had already returned to the dock with a boatload of their catch. This time, it was clearly unexpected for everyone, mainly because the whole process took less than two hours.
Everyone was surprised, especially the production team leader who was guarding the dock, seeing that they had returned with a full load of swimming crabs.
The workers at the purchasing station were somewhat surprised when they saw the swimming crabs. Although these things were indeed rare and valuable, it wasn't the right season for them.
He said with a troubled expression.
"Fifth brother, you know it's not the season yet. Even though you caught so many swimming crabs, they're not worth much."
Before he could finish speaking, the fifth brother presented the broken-open crab to him.
The man was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Buy, buy, buy! I'll take any price!"
quick.
Just pack it into a basket for me.
Another boatload of swimming crabs arrived at the purchasing station with great joy.
Although this batch of swimming crabs looks fuller than the last one, it is actually not as heavy as the yellow croaker.
The swimming crabs take up a lot of space, and with their numerous claws and legs, they all occupy space.
They weighed it and it was 6,000 jin (3,000 catties).
This is not as good as the yellow croaker. Although it is quite expensive, it is only worth two points at most.
Even a pound and two cents is quite remarkable.
This time, they will have no chance of going to sea again.
Even though it was close by, the oil ran out. After all, the return trip was very fuel-intensive because of the heavy load. Plus, it was at least two trips.
And more importantly, this time the internet is broken and there's no way to fix it.
Before we could even fix the old network, the new one broke down.
But everyone was happy because of the two full events.
Uncle Wu said excitedly,
"Alright, alright, stop looking around. We're done for the day."
Such a legendary catch on the first fishing trip.
Keep in mind that we set sail at 3 a.m. and it's only 11 a.m. now, a total of 11 a.m.
They had already caught two boatloads of fish, but the more important thing wasn't the two boatloads of fish, but the work points they would receive after they finished catching them.
Qibao did the math and figured he had about 4,000 work points, which was the share he got from taking the boat.
If we calculate it at 12 cents per work point, I've earned over 500 yuan today.
In this day and age, even temporary workers who can earn 18.5 yuan a month would fight tooth and nail, let alone 500 yuan a day.
Everyone has gone out to sea, so there aren't many people watching at the dock right now, but the news will definitely spread.
Uncle Wu and his 15 men went home triumphantly, except for the old woman who was still on the field repairing the net.
Upon hearing that they had returned home with a full load of goods, I was immediately struck.
These women worked tirelessly, day and night, to fix the internet today so the internet could be used tomorrow.
And some quick-thinking individuals hurriedly dug out their old home internet connection.
We have to find a way to get them a third net tomorrow, no matter what!
The reason we couldn't fish a third time today is because the timing wasn't right, and we ran out of nets. If we had nets, we would have fished a third time.
Who wouldn't want to divide the work?
He Cuihua was so excited that she could barely speak.
She was the leader of the fishing nets here, and her net-mending skills were already excellent—fast, good, and tight.
It's like lightning fast at this moment.
The thickest fishing line was hooked together with the needle of the net, and she swung it so fast it almost flew. Just hearing people talking about it made her tremble.
Seven went straight back inside. He knew that today was over, and he had already calculated it out.
It's estimated that it will take at least another week for Uncle Gu to arrive.
Whether it's the distance or finding oneself on the island after arriving here.
The weather had been nice lately, and he thought he should leave the He family enough money so they could get through the rest of their lives.
After all, it was quite difficult for He Cuihua, a woman raising three children, especially three daughters, in the village.
Although it's said that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't pass on this blessing to others, and I can't pass it on even if I wanted to.
Moreover, he couldn't control them for their entire lives; he just wanted to do his best to ensure that the three girls wouldn't face hardship in the future.
They genuinely consider me their younger brother.
It's fortunate that they ended up with this family. If it had been another family, the wife would probably have suffered a lot. She must have done so many things in her past life. Don't think that these traffickers will be treated well after they buy children and sell them to other families.
Let's not even talk about families without children; for families with children, the outcome is basically the same.
The situation continued into the next day, and Uncle Wu and his group of 15 got up very early the next morning.
In the past, when we got up in the morning to go fishing, no one was very enthusiastic.
After all, the majority of the spoils came from the collective, and had little to do with the individuals involved.
Anyway, whether you win more or less, you won't end up losing someone.
Besides paying their share to the collective, fishermen on boats could keep some surplus fish to improve their lives, so basically none of them went hungry.
The only ones who might go hungry are those who have few girls in the family.
Girls are not allowed to board the ship; this is an ironclad rule. This has caused resentment among families with many daughters, leading to various forms of dislike towards girls.
But things are different now; they're much more enthusiastic about fishing now.
Following Da Bao was practically like getting free fish.
When they arrived at the pier this morning, they found that the pier, which was usually sparsely populated, was now crowded with people.
Everyone was waiting for them at the dock.
The two fishermen who had secretly followed them yesterday were now standing silently in the crowd, watching Da Bao and his friends.
They did drink a sip of soup yesterday.
Although they didn't catch 6,000 catties of crabs, they still managed to catch about 700 or 800 catties.
Adding in the normal surplus stock, yesterday's harvest was quite fruitful.
That evening, the two families sat down together and discussed it. They felt that Da Bao was a very lucky child, and that there would be no problem for him to travel with their boat.
