The island that Old Fu mentioned wasn't far away. Ah Xing had only smoked two cigarettes when Old Fu shouted that the fishing boat was approaching the island.
"The island isn't high, but it's quite wide."
"Look at the reef over here, it's really beautiful."
Hearing Old Fu shout that, Wu An and the other two quickly lay down on the side of the boat to look down.
A reef is a structure formed by the accumulation of reef-building corals and calcium carbonate skeletons, also known as a coral reef.
It looks very beautiful.
And it is very sturdy.
Simply put, these coral reefs are the homes of marine life.
A huge coral island, where people can live and reside.
Wu An said, "Old Fu, be careful. Some coral reefs are very close to the surface, and fishing boats might run into them."
Old Fu replied, "Okay."
He was already being very careful, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his face, completely focused on steering the fishing boat.
After passing a coral reef, Wu An became a little uneasy and gave the fishing boat some luck points.
It's not just about protecting fishing boats, but also about protecting these incredibly precious coral reefs.
The result was the next moment.
The bit of luck that had just been added to the fishing boat vanished instantly, so fast that Wu An felt as if he were hallucinating.
Did you actually buff the fishing boat with good luck just now?
He had some self-doubt.
It has been blessed a little more.
This time he stared intently at the system, but in just 3 seconds, his luck points disappeared again.
Wu An quickly shouted, "Old Fu, stop the boat here, let's work from here."
Old Fu hesitated: "Ah An, although the depth of the operation here is sufficient, it's not far from the coral reef, and I think the underwater conditions might be very complicated."
"I just took a look, and there are better work locations further north."
Simply put, this isn't a good place to work; their longline fishing and battle nets are all bottom fishing.
If the catch struggles in the sea, it may cause problems with longline fishing and gillnet retrieval.
Old Fu has become much more tactful in his speech now. In his experience, working here will almost certainly lead to the situation he is worried about.
Wu An laughed and said, "Old Fu, your concerns are valid, but let's continue working here."
Old Fu frowned, not replying immediately, but instead taking a cigarette from the shelf next to him.
With a "snap," he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
He was using a cigarette to shut himself up, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist saying a few words to Wu An.
I think what he said makes sense, but I won't listen.
What does this mean?
Just kidding.
Young people are good; they're energetic, driven, and have ideas, but sometimes they're just too unreliable.
After taking a couple of puffs of his cigarette, he was pondering how to persuade Wu An when he heard A Qing shouting.
"Old Fu, what are you standing there for? Stop the boat right now, my brother said to work right here."
Mei Wu also said, "Uncle Fu, we definitely trust your experience and judgment."
"But since Wu An has already said so, let's listen to him."
Seeing that the two brothers had said this, Old Fu was even more disgusted. In short, the three brothers had completely ignored his words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
What can he do?
He had no choice but to stop the boat.
He asked, "Ah An, do you think there's potential?"
Wu An nodded.
Old Fu didn't say anything more; Wu An had always had good luck and intuition.
Ah Qing came and asked, "Brother, what should we put in first?"
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with longline fishing. After that, you two can set up the gillnets. I'll go cook."
Everyone started their work in an orderly manner.
Starting from this side of the small island, it extends outwards for three kilometers.
It sounds long, but it's actually not short at all.
But longline fishing of such a short length in the open sea is actually nothing special.
Some fishermen who specialize in longline fishing cast thousands or even tens of thousands of meters at a time.
On the way, they had already put a lot of bait on the longline. The three of them worked together, with Old Fu steering the boat, and the longline was being cast very quickly.
Even though the rain was falling quickly, we were still busy until lunchtime.
Mei Wu and A Qing smoked a cigarette and started setting the net, while Wu An went to cook.
He took out a piece of pork belly.
There were plenty of vegetables on the boat, including celery and chili peppers, which were stir-fried with pork belly.
We also got two small yellow croakers, each weighing about a pound, to braise. These three simple dishes were enough for four people.
I just finished cooking.
Mei Wu and A's homework was also finished. The three of them went into the boat awning and closed the door.
The boat shed was originally open, but since air conditioning was installed, Uncle Li helped to enclose it.
Time was limited, so it was done rather roughly.
But don't say it.
When the air conditioner is turned on, a cool breeze blows.
Wu An was a little worried that everyone was sweating and might catch a cold if they dried their sweat, so he quickly told everyone to wipe their sweat first.
Aqing bought a lot of DVDs and ate her meal while watching TV.
Having these conditions at sea is simply amazing.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Aqing went to wash the dishes. He and Meiwu agreed that they would each wash one dish at a time.
Wu An lay down, feeling sleepy due to insufficient blood supply to his brain. He planned to rest for a while longer and then subconsciously checked the system.
Upon closer inspection...
He couldn't help but sit up.
The fish trap still has a lot of luck points left, so it seems the resources on Twin Islands aren't very good.
However, the luck boost from longline fishing was completely used up in less than an hour.
The luck value of the net that was just put down is also dropping rapidly.
The resources here are even better than he imagined. Seeing this, Wu An is no longer sleepy at all.
He called out, "Old Fu, Brother Wu, let's not rest yet, let's go retrieve the longline fishing rods."
Old Fu had just lit a cigarette when he frowned and said, "Ah An, why are you so unpredictable?"
"If you've only been fishing with a longline for an hour, normally it should take at least two hours to retrieve it."
Wu An said, "I think the resources here are good, so we can start acquiring them sooner."
"Normally it would take two hours, but this is an abnormal situation."
Mei Wu sat up: "Ah An, are you serious?"
Wu An nodded.
Ah Qing came in after washing the dishes and learned that she was going to collect longline fishing bait, which was suggested by Wu An, and she was very supportive.
"Since my brother said so, let's do it."
Old Fu shrugged: "Alright, then be careful when reeling in the longline, don't mess it up."
"If it doesn't work out, we can still put it back down in time."
Stepping out of the boat shed, a wave of heat rolled in.
Before I even started working, I was already sweating profusely.
Start your homework.
They quickly pulled up the 100-meter-long longline, but caught no fish.
Mei Wu and A Qing frowned deeply upon seeing this.
Old Fu asked a question, and upon learning the situation, he couldn't help but sigh.
I thought to myself... I knew this would happen.
