Wu An said, "I think you're right."
"Old Fu, snap out of it, stop spacing out."
"Think about whether there are any suitable places for longline fishing."
Old Fu was silent for a while, then decided to do his job as an employee. Since the boss had asked, he couldn't not answer, so he said, "How about we go to an island near where we can avoid the storm?"
"There are very few fishing boats operating in that area, and there are seabirds near the island, which indicates that the nearby resources should be quite good."
"It's not like we have to go to the island to fish after we finish longline fishing. We can go to the island nearby after we finish longline fishing."
He gave the most appropriate advice.
Wu An nodded; "I'll listen to you."
Old Fu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He really wanted to say, "If you really listen to me, let's specialize in one thing."
But the words were on the tip of my tongue.
He held back.
Forget it, I'd better not say anything more. Whether it's a black cat or a black cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
As long as we can get a catch, it doesn't matter if the methods are a bit complicated.
The fishing boats were started and headed towards the island.
After driving for about twenty minutes, the island came into view in the distance.
Wu An shielded his eyes with his hand and squinted to see. They hadn't had the time or inclination to examine things closely during the previous storm.
The island in front of us is quite large.
The island is lush with vegetation, and you can see coconut trees standing on the cliffs on this side of the bay, which is quite spectacular.
After gazing at the island for a while, Wu An asked, "Old Fu, does this island have a name?"
Old Fu shook his head.
Some islands have officially recognized names, but those are all large islands, some of which have already been developed, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to set foot on them at will.
Most of the islands, however, remain untouched and neglected.
None of them have names. If they do, it's just a name passed down orally, roughly based on the shape of the island.
For example, some islands resemble leather shoes, so they are called Leather Shoe Islands.
Or you can look at what the island is rich in. For example, if an island has reefs covered with oysters, it can be called an oyster island.
Not necessarily.
Even on the same island, different villages have different names.
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't we give him a name?"
"Let's call it..."
Ah Qing raised her hand: "Brother, I have an idea."
"We survived because of this bay. I didn't even notice how beautiful this bay was that day, so we can call it Survival Island."
Wu An: "..."
He still had too high expectations.
Old Fu's lips twitched. This guy is truly a naming genius.
"Okay, let's call it Survival Island."
Wu An casually remarked that, regardless of whether it sounded good or bad, the name Ah Qing had chosen was indeed quite fitting, as they were able to survive precisely because of this bay.
otherwise.
Even if he had the luck to boost his luck, and with the help of sea turtles and killer whales, if they couldn't find a safe haven in the raging storm, they would only face certain death.
Old Fu didn't say anything.
We arrived near the bay.
Old Fu quickly pinpointed the location: "Let's start from here."
"The terrain around here is complex, making it easy for fish to gather."
"There should be some gains."
He couldn't guarantee it.
To put it bluntly, experience is something you learn by failing a lot.
When operating at sea, no one can guarantee a 100% catch of seafood. Even trawlers may end up with empty nets.
Not to mention longline fishing, which is only a kilometer long.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but complain that the ship was so small, yet it had so many ways of operating, keeping him busy with this and that, it was really too annoying.
At sea, playing the "don't put all your eggs in one basket" game is too unreliable.
Old Fu looked at Wu An, fearing that the longline fishing would be unsuccessful, and quickly added his reasons for choosing the water, such as the water depth and current.
Wu An listened in a daze, but kept nodding in agreement.
He naturally had no objections.
Old Fu is actually very good at judging people. He has absolutely no experience, so he can make so much money entirely because of his cheat code and being blessed by God.
So, which side to go for longline fishing.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, with the added luck, there will always be some gains.
Of course, the results can vary depending on the location.
If the catch here isn't great, then I'll go back to the place where I used to do longline fishing. That island is surrounded by large reefs, like a ring of cliffs, making it difficult to get on, but the resources nearby are pretty good. I caught tiger grouper and mullet.
The reason he didn't go over there was that he wanted to explore more, taking advantage of the small size of the boat and the low cost of exploration, and try to find out the situation of the nearby islands.
It's not good to find a place and exploit it relentlessly.
Old Fu was in charge of navigating the boat.
Aqing and Wu An collaborated on longline fishing.
Same as before.
Because the bait wasn't pre-attached, it had to be attached and released repeatedly. Aqing was fine, having done it several times before. Wu An, who was just helping out last time, wasn't surprised at all. Suddenly, a mistake occurred, which triggered a chain reaction, leading to continuous errors.
Making one mistake after another only led to more chaos and confusion.
"Brother, are you sure you can handle this?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Aqing got anxious watching this and quickly took the work from Aqing's hands.
Hearing the commotion, Old Fu kept turning around to look. He found that A Qing and Wu An were making a mess of things, so he quickly came over and said, "A An, go and start the boat."
"Let's maintain the current speed."
"Aqing, get out of the way."
After Old Fu finished speaking, he immediately got to work.
Before Aqing could say anything, Old Fu snatched the job away and quickly unhooked and hooked the hook, his fingers moving as smoothly and fluidly as if he were playing the piano.
Aqing stared wide-eyed.
Wu An gave a thumbs up: "See, that's professionalism."
After saying that.
He quickly ran to maneuver the boat.
Aqing went directly from a front-line operator to an assistant, and even then, she was still looked down upon, with people saying that Aqing was too slow to hand over bait.
Aqing was speechless.
He was so busy that his eyes could barely keep up with his hands, yet he was still being criticized.
Aqing didn't deny it and said, "I'll definitely be faster with practice."
It has to be said.
Old Fu was as good as two people, faster than the three of them when they went longline fishing together. Moreover, he was both fast and steady, without making the slightest mistake.
No wonder he's an old fisherman who's spent his whole life at sea.
It's only 11:30 after all that work.
Earlier than expected, Wu An moored the boat and said, "I'll cook first."
"Let's have a simple lunch."
"Let's eat and drink our fill before we go ashore and explore the island."
Aqing nodded and had no objection.
Wu An looked at Old Fu and said, "You've been working non-stop for over an hour. Take a break; you'll be busy all afternoon."
Having lunch was just an excuse; Wu An's main goal was to keep an eye on longline fishing and add another round of luck to his portfolio.
Old Fu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
actually.
He meant to say he wasn't tired.
But thinking about it, saying it like that is a bit masochistic.
The fishing boat owner told you to rest, and you're still not happy about it?
In his memory, fishing at sea always required racing against time and was very hard work, but on Wu An's boat, he felt very relaxed.
It didn't feel like they were out fishing; it felt like they were on vacation.
They're living such a leisurely life.
The key is that you can still make money this way!
He only worked for half a day yesterday, and he earned seven hundred yuan and a pack of cigarettes.
You know, this is ridiculous.
You asked him if this was a good idea?
Of course he said yes.
He enjoys the job and finds it comfortable, but the better the job is, the more uneasy he feels.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
If Wu An can't make money and quits being a fishing boat owner, where will he find such a good job?
