Chapter 679 Shelter Cave



The problems they could think of, others had already learned about from the acquisition sites.

After all, the purchasing station had a bumper harvest yesterday.

Large yellow croakers that are difficult for ordinary people to catch, as well as swimming crabs, which are full of yellow roe.

This isn't something anyone can just fish out.

They were all experienced fishermen, and as soon as they heard the news, they immediately had an idea, except for Da Bao and his crew whose boat returned fully loaded.

Keen-eyed people immediately found out that two other boats had also caught swimming crabs.

They immediately realized from this news that they were just benefiting from it.

Everyone felt a surge of warmth upon hearing this, as the fish offal and miscellaneous items they had caught in the past two days didn't even earn them two work points per pound.

Sometimes a pound only earns one work point, or even as little as 0.8 work points.

Even if you manage to haul a whole boatload of goods, you'll only end up with a dozen or so work points.

But they did the math yesterday, and the two ships that Uncle Wu owns together are quite a lot.

The ship in front has more than eighty work points, and the ship behind has more than two hundred work points.

Based on this calculation, each of them earned an average of over 300 work points yesterday.

You know, some families only earn this much in a month, while they earn in a single day what others earn in a month. How can they not be envious?

That's why everyone is now determined to follow wherever Uncle Wu's boat goes, even if it means not getting any meat or soup.

How could Qi Zai know any of this? He and Uncle Wu went straight onto the boat and headed out to sea with their nets, just like yesterday.

After driving 5km, Qizai originally wanted to put on the talisman and go offline.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Wu looked around, frowned, and said...

"Damn it, these bastards have all followed us. Look around, there are thirty or forty boats. How are we supposed to salvage this?"

The main problem is that everyone goes down to nets, so their nets can't catch much. Also, with so many people, even if there are a whole school of fish and shrimp, they will be scattered.

But the other party clung to them tightly, and at this point, they were determined to be their tail.

Seven looked around, immediately understood, and said with a smile,

"Fifth Uncle, let's head out to sea."

Under normal circumstances, if Uncle Wu were to set off for fishing here, he could save on fuel costs by driving to the open sea. Yesterday, one tank of gas could make two trips, but today, one tank of gas will probably only make one trip.

The cost immediately went up.

Yesterday, even though Qi Zai earned more than 500 yuan by himself, after deducting the cost of gas, he only received a little over 300 yuan.

If today is the same as yesterday, that's fine; I can easily earn over 300 yuan. But if I use up two tanks of gas today, it won't be worth it, and I might only end up with a little over 100 yuan.

Having seen big money, who can be satisfied with the little money they have?

Seven laughed and said,

"It's alright, Uncle Wu, look over there, isn't there a sheltered cave? Let's go in there."

Uncle Wu couldn't help but smile wryly upon seeing this.

“Da Bao, we can’t go there. There are reefs underneath. Even if the boat goes in, it’s still not safe.”

Not only will we not catch any fish, but there's also the risk: if the bottom of the boat gets damaged, we'll have to go back to repair it.

"Fifth Uncle, I told you to come in, so come in. Don't worry."

Hearing what Qi Zai said, Uncle Wu steeled himself. Anyway, he had always listened to Da Bao and had never made a mistake.

The boatmen really put a lot of effort into the boat, and everyone around the cave was stunned by what they did.

What are they trying to do? They're afraid the other side will benefit, so they're even willing to go down in a fight to the death.

Everyone knows that the water in this cave is shallow and there are many reefs, so no boat will be able to get away with it once it goes in.

Just as everyone was wondering, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the wind and rain raged outside.

The ships that were originally waiting for an opportunity hurriedly returned to the dock, mainly because the wind and waves were too strong and it was too risky to sail out to sea.

As they drove into the cave, Uncle Wu cautiously drove forward, when he heard Da Bao say something.

"Don't go any further, just stay here."

Uncle Wu looked around. This was the place where they had just entered the cave, and the water was still quite deep.

The space is quite spacious, but the boat can't stay here.

"here?"

Qibao answered seriously.

"This is the place."

Then log off here.

Everyone froze instantly; there were so many reefs below that a net had been laid.

Isn't this just digging your own grave?

Seeing that no one was moving, Seven asked,

"What's wrong? Hurry up and get to work!"

He was still thinking about getting back as soon as possible.

Uncle Wu couldn't resist any longer.

“Da Bao, we can’t cast our nets here, there are reefs all around.”

Don't be fooled by the fact that it seems calm and peaceful here. In reality, we always avoid big storms when we come in with these kinds of animals.

I've never heard of fishing here.

"Let's go to an internet cafe."

That one casual remark left Uncle Wu speechless, unable to utter a single word.

Everyone looked at each other.

They might say they wouldn't listen, but they know that it was because they listened to Qi Zai these past few days that they returned with a full load of goods.

What if I don't listen and miss the opportunity?

But even if I listen, I can't get over it in my own heart.

This is utter nonsense.

"In this way, the catch of the ship that agrees to cast the net belongs to the person who agreed."

If those who disagree go back and hand over the collective fish catch, I will cover the cost for them, but I won't divide it among them.

You don't need to do any work.

Seven spoke calmly, which only deepened the divisions among the people. Although everyone wanted to take advantage of the situation, they also knew that it was impossible here.

Uncle Wu gritted his teeth; the five of them had followed Qi Zai all the way here.

Others may not support it, but they cannot.

"Okay, then the five of us agree."

The remaining four or five people who were relatively close to Uncle Lao Wu also agreed.

By this point, the number of people had basically reached two-thirds.

The remaining four people looked at each other, gritted their teeth,

"Fine, then we disagree."

We're not doing any work, that's a deal we made.

The four men were calculating in their minds that if they managed to salvage the fish, they would at least have already paid the amount that was to be handed over to the public, so their work today wouldn't have been in vain.

However, there's a high chance they won't be able to get it.

In that case, the amount of fish caught from the remaining two boatloads would have to be used to make up for the fish that was to be handed over to the collective.

Even if some work points are left, the amount that each person receives will probably be very small.

There's a high chance that not only will we not get any work points today, but we'll also have to pay out the work points we earned in the last two days.

So, if you look at it that way, they definitely benefited.

The four men immediately stood by and watched, while the other twelve men cast their nets down.

Uncle Wu was anxious to go down, but everyone knew that there were reefs below, and the net would get tangled on them.

It's a lose-lose situation, what else can we do?
