Wu An didn't greet him.
Mei Wu, A Qing, and Lao Fu Tou had already taken out their casting nets, one for each of them, and stood apart to cast them into the sea.
"Splash!"
When you pull in the net, you can see the sea boiling and water splashing everywhere.
That's a giant squid struggling.
But it was destined to be a futile effort.
Old Fu was the first to collect the net, and the winch began operation.
Ah Qing could only pull it herself first, and shouted, "Brother, could you prepare two more winches on the ship?"
Wu An ignored him.
This is just a small boat; some fishing boats of similar size don't even have a winch yet.
Instead of throwing the net, he went over to help pull it up.
It's a bit difficult.
This is a good thing.
This shows that the net was cast very well, catching many large squid.
Human power is no match for a winch. The winch pulled the net out to sea, and then it was Aqing's turn.
Finally, there's Mei Wu.
All the pressure was put on the winch.
Wu An originally planned to cast the fish a couple of times, but by the time the catch was on the deck, he didn't have time and could only squat down and quickly sort it out.
While it's still fresh, hurry up and pack it up.
Old Fu then took a new casting net and hurled it out again.
The net was cast and quickly landed on the sea surface, then splashed and splashed.
Old Fu couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "That's really good."
Ah Qing grinned from ear to ear: "Yes, yes."
"When I cast this net, it will weigh at least one or two hundred pounds."
"This giant squid must be expensive, right?"
Old Fu said, "About twenty yuan."
Giant squid is the most common type, and it's much cheaper than rocket squid, but it's still pretty good. One net can bring in two or three thousand yuan.
That's equivalent to a month's wages for an average worker, what more could you ask for?
Wu An prepared ten sets of throwing nets on the boat.
As a result, Aqing still said that he hadn't prepared enough and had wasted his potential.
Wu An was extremely busy.
I really didn't have time, otherwise I would definitely have kicked him twice.
Old Fu said, "That's strange. It's broad daylight and the weather is so nice, why are the squid coming to the upper waters?"
Aqing replied, "What's so strange about that? It's probably because they knew you were coming, so they're giving you a treat."
"..." Old Fu didn't reply; he had nothing to say to A Qing.
Mei Wu suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, I also caught a sea turtle!"
Wu An had just finished taking a basket of squid downstairs when he came back up. Seeing the sea turtle, he said, "Why did it come along?"
Just as they threw the sea turtle down, Old Fu and A Qing also caught sea turtles in their nets.
Old Fu suddenly realized, "So that's why the squid swarm ran to the upper level in broad daylight. They were being chased by these sea turtles."
Ah Qing suddenly realized, "These sea turtles are trying to repay you by driving away the squid so we can catch them."
"..." Old Fu was speechless. You can explain it like that?
Anyway, it's all thanks to Wu An, right?
Wu An said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
He became even busier.
Besides processing the fish, you also have to carry the sea turtles and throw them off the boat, telling them to run far away so they don't get caught in the nets again.
After all, it was their problem to bring these sea turtles up into the net, so when they were being sent back into the sea, Wu An specially stuffed a large squid into the turtles' mouths.
The sea turtle was obedient; it opened its mouth when told to.
Fortunately, these squid are relatively easy to process. There's no need to sort them; you can just throw them into the net basket. It's not much trouble, and he can manage it by himself.
It's worth mentioning that several of the sea turtles that were caught online had barnacles removed from their backs, indicating that they were sea turtles that had been rescued previously.
What a coincidence!
On the vast ocean, you can still encounter them from time to time.
Wu An also had his doubts. Could it be that A Qing was right, and that these sea turtles were deliberately driving away the squid so that he could catch them?
Soon, he stopped having any more wild thoughts.
Too busy to keep up.
There's simply not enough time to keep up.
Net after net, he was so busy that he couldn't keep up if he didn't run out of nets and had to untangle them and reuse them. Besides processing the catch, he also had to operate the boat.
The boss, acting like a mere handyman.
That's fine.
Once the giant squid is caught, it doesn't just obediently wait to die. It struggles and suddenly spews ink, making it impossible to dodge. Ah Qing is such a clever little devil.
Just as I dodged one and was smugly chuckling, another giant squid sprayed my face and mouth with it. I squatted down and gagged, then picked up the giant squid and beat it.
Mei Wu was laughing when he was also attacked.
Wu An and Old Fu were not spared either, and were sprayed all over. Luckily, none of the students were wearing glasses, otherwise they would have been unable to use their glasses.
After working for an unknown amount of time, everyone cast their nets, but the number of giant squid they pulled up kept decreasing.
Wu An thought it was pretty good.
Just as he was about to slack off, Ah Qing called him over to throw the net, saying he was lucky and that if he threw it, he would definitely get the same result as them before.
Wu An was furious.
I, the dignified boss...
Then pick up the throwing net and throw it out hard.
He originally planned to use the actual situation to slap Aqing in the face and let him know that he was just like everyone else, but when the winch pulled up the net, he was dumbfounded.
This time, the net caught even more fish than Aqing had caught before.
Aqing wasn't surprised and said smugly, "I knew it, I was right, right? Brother's actions are definitely different."
Wu An looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Ah Qing, are you acting like me?"
Aqing scratched her head: "What do you mean?"
He looked at Old Fu and Mei Wu, who smiled and said, "Ah An, you're luckier than us."
Wu Anxin is exhausted.
He took the net that Old Fu had prepared and resigned himself to throwing it out again.
After casting the net a few more times, even he couldn't catch any big squid. Old Fu, unwilling to give up, circled around again, but indeed found no trace of the giant squid, before finally stopping the boat.
Aqing was somewhat disappointed: "It looks like we've caught all the giant squid."
Old Fu laughed and said, "Ah Qing, you're overthinking it."
"With just a few nets, we think we can catch all the giant squid? The giant squid have already sunk."
Wu An looked at the winch operating the net and said, "We'll stop once we've hauled in this net."
"Approximately how much did you harvest?"
Old Fu had already looked around and replied directly, "The cabin is already more than half full, and thankfully the giant squid is gone, otherwise we wouldn't be able to retrieve the longline fishing."
Based on past results, his words were not unfounded.
Aqing also looked relieved: "Thank goodness, I almost lost everything."
Mei Wu, smoking a cigarette, was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself, "Don't you guys think there's something wrong with chatting like this?"
The net came up quickly.
There weren't many giant squid, but there were two sea turtles. These two sea turtles were probably gluttons, as they were munching on something, probably a giant squid.
Even though they were entangled in the net, they didn't seem flustered at all.
Aqing and Meiwu were both exhausted, so Wu An had to release the sea turtle himself.
The two sea turtles weren't very big. Wu An carried one in each hand and walked towards the boat. He noticed that the sea turtles were bumping him with their heads, which hurt quite a bit. He scolded them, "Don't be naughty."
The sea turtle shook its head again and opened its mouth to spit him out.
Wu An reacted quickly, dodging the turtle's vomit onto the deck.
"Go on."
Wu An threw the two sea turtles into the sea with force, then looked back at the thing the sea turtles had vomited on the deck. It was covered in the sea turtles' saliva and looked like vomit.
This is it!
He rinsed it with seawater and was just about to kick it to the garbage dump when Old Fu suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute, it looks a bit like ambergris to me."
