The fishing boat followed Tiger.
After a while, Old Fu felt something was wrong and said, "Ah An, something's not right. It's not like before when the orcas led us to find the fish schools. I feel like Tiger is leading us to chase after the orcas."
Wu An also found it strange.
Previously, the orca pod led them to find schools of fish; the orcas were near the fishing boats.
And now.
The orca pod is ahead.
Tiger is in the middle.
The fishing boats are behind.
The orca pod was very fast, and Tiger would occasionally stop to wait for the fishing boats. Once the fishing boats caught up, Tiger would chase after the orca pods again, and so on, going back and forth like that.
Wu An looked at A Qing.
Aqing scratched her head and said, "Brother, don't look at me, I don't understand either."
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, let's go!"
The orca pod wasn't swimming straight in one direction; it was more like serpentine maneuvering, circling around for an hour. In fact, it was still in the Waterloo area where longline fishing and fish traps had yielded little success.
He told Old Fu that as long as there was enough oil for the return trip, he would continue following along.
After running for almost two hours, the orca pod stopped.
Judging from the boiling appearance of the sea, it was clear that they had hunted a school of fish.
Tiger barked twice.
It even shook its big head at the fishing boat.
Wu An instructed Lao Fu to slow the boat down and keep it away from the orca pod.
Ah Qing said, "Brother, it seems that Hu Zi didn't tell the orca pod in advance."
Wu An: "Hmm?"
Aqing said, "He secretly led us to follow the orca pod."
As they were talking.
Tiger has entered the orca pod and has indeed been taught a lesson.
After a while.
Tiger came over and called them over.
Wu An called out, and Old Fu slowly approached the fishing boat.
Wu An originally planned to use the remaining luck points on the net, but after thinking about it, he decided to use them on the fishing boat.
The orca pod probably wouldn't have welcomed Tiger bringing them here in the first place.
If they continue to plunder in large quantities, it will displease the orca pod even more, and Tiger will likely be dealt with even more severely by the orcas.
It would be better to use fishing boats to control the fish population, which would also benefit the orcas, allowing them to feed more easily.
Mutually beneficial.
Aqing and Meiwu put away the casting net. They were seasoned pros at using the net frequently and cast it perfectly. Next, the pressure was put on the winch.
Ah Qing exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, I've uploaded quite a few of these!"
Old Fu was the first to pull up his net.
Open.
Splash!
The catch was piled up into a small mountain of fish.
"Holy crap, it's pomfret! We're rich! We're going to strike it rich!" Aqing shouted excitedly when he saw it. Not to mention him, Wu An was also very happy. He had caught pomfret before, and it could sell for 120 yuan per catty.
Very good.
This net must have caught about a hundred kilograms, which is worth tens of thousands of yuan!
Tiger is truly his lucky star!
If you see it, something good is sure to happen.
It's just that Tiger is going to suffer because he'll be punished by the tribe.
Old Fu chuckled and said, "Ah Qing, what kind of eyes do you have? Look at this shimmering silver, how could it be a pomfret? This is a silver pomfret."
He was speaking.
He squatted down and picked one up casually, saying, "This is one of the best silver pomfret we've ever caught, with intact scales and almost no damage. It's the best quality silver pomfret, bar none."
Mei Wu looked at it and said, "Master Fu, this looks like a pomfret to me."
Old Fu laughed and said, "Then let me tell you the difference between silver pomfret and white pomfret. It's actually just a matter of naming. The good ones, which have a silver sheen all over, are called silver pomfret, while the ones that don't have a silver sheen on their surface, have lost their scales, and have a white belly, are called white pomfret."
Mei Wu suddenly realized: "Holy crap, so silver pomfret and white pomfret are the same fish, just different names!"
Wu An nodded in agreement, his knowledge expanding once again.
Ah Qing asked anxiously, "What about the price?"
Old Fu said, "Silver pomfret can't compare to fighting pomfret, but it won't be very cheap either."
"Moreover, in my opinion, silver pomfret is the best-tasting pomfret."
Wu An nodded: "Then we'll bring some home to eat when we go back. This quality of silver pomfret is probably quite rare."
Silver pomfret is usually caught by trawling.
However, regardless of the method used, the scales on the surface of the pomfret will be damaged. But since they directly pull them up with a casting net, not to mention the freshness, it will hardly cause any damage to most silver pomfret.
Old Fu grinned from ear to ear: "Thank you, boss."
"I really like this kind of thing."
"Eat more of this stuff, it's good for your health."
Wu An was taken aback: "It has this effect too?"
Old Fu's smile was slightly lewd: "There really is."
Wu An suddenly realized that he should bring more home so that his elder brother could eat more.
Mei Wu and A Qing also became interested.
actually.
It's not just pomfret; some seafood has this effect, such as sea cucumbers and oysters, which are known as a "gas station" for men. However, these things are just food after all. They have some effect, but how strong that effect is varies from person to person.
Next.
It's actually quite boring.
Throw the net, pull it up, throw it again, pull it up again...
The catch, which had just been pulled up, was piled up on the deck before it could be sorted, forming small mounds of fish that looked quite spectacular.
On the sea, the school of fish lingered for a long time.
This is naturally due to the fishing boat's enhanced luck.
After all the nets were used up, Aqing untied the nets and was about to throw them again when Wu An stopped her, saying, "That's enough, there are already enough. Let's hurry up and clean them up. If we can get some good quality silver pomfret, we might make more money than if we cast a few more nets."
Old Fu nodded: "A'an is right. Look, these silver pomfret have lost a lot of their scales as they flutter around."
The four men squatted down to process the catch.
Sorting.
Sent to the warehouse.
The process was even more tedious and boring, there's not much to say about it.
Wu An took a moment to check his luck value. The fishing boat's luck value was steadily decreasing, so he should be able to keep the fish under control for a while longer.
In the sea.
The orcas feasted.
I enjoyed the meal very much.
These foods waited patiently for them to eat.
Tiger wanted credit.
He found help.
It's no wonder that orcas are considered highly intelligent; the alpha whale of the pod agreed with Tiger's assessment.
Tiger seized the opportunity to make a request, which the lead whale immediately agreed to.
Tiger arrived near the fishing boat and called out to Wu An. Wu An had just fed him two bites of ice when Tiger "whooshed" into the sea and resurfaced far away.
Tiger is gone.
When the other orcas gathered around, Wu An put down his sorting work and fed them ice.
This is an absolute treat for the orca.
Enjoying barbecue and beer, especially ice-cold beer, is incredibly refreshing.
This is pretty much the state of orcas now.
Not long after.
A familiar dark shadow rushed out of the sea. When Wu An saw it, he quickly dodged to the side. With a "bang", the shadow landed on the deck and crushed several silver pomfret into fish cakes.
Wu An looked closely.
Yoho.
Brother Turtle, it's been a long time!
