Wu An woke up, picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already 7:30 in the morning. He was still a little groggy and wondered why it was still so dark at this hour.
I subconsciously opened the door and the blinding sunlight shone directly on my face, making me feel like my eyes were being pierced.
I quickly closed my eyes to avoid the sunlight, and only then did I belatedly realize that I had been sleeping on a boat.
After getting used to it for a while, I got up and crawled out of my sleeping area to do a set of stretches.
Aqing came over to say hello.
Wu An looked at his face covered in sweat: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the lounge? Why are you out working and sweating so much?"
Aqing pointed to the wound on her forehead: "Brother, it's scabbed over."
"It wasn't a serious wound to begin with; a day of rest should have been enough."
"I was so frustrated yesterday because I could only watch helplessly. Today, I have to work with everyone no matter what."
Wu An examined the wound and found that it was indeed scabbed over, but it didn't look very secure. He said, "You can work, but don't use brute force to reopen the wound."
Aqing chuckled and nodded repeatedly.
I walked out of the lounge.
It wasn't very hot outside, and the gentle sea breeze felt quite refreshing.
The weather today feels even better than yesterday; the sky is so blue it's like a fake curtain has been laid out over it.
The seawater was an exceptionally clear blue, and if you looked closely, you could even see schools of fish swimming on the seabed.
Wu An arrived at the control room: "Is the network offline?"
Old Fu said, "It's been raining for an hour and a half. If we delay for another half hour or so, we can get up."
Wu An hurriedly went to wash up and eat.
The food was all ready-made, and Fan Xiaozhu's cooking skills were quite good. After having a late-night snack, Wu An wasn't very hungry, but still ate a large bowl of rice.
After finishing his meal, while washing the dishes, Wu An checked the system.
Luck value: 1240 (888).
not bad.
The current maximum luck value is increasing by hundreds. Although my daily luck value isn't maxed out, 888 is still pretty good.
The system is also quite likable.
The luck bonus that had been given to the trawl net had been cleared up at some point. Wu An was stunned for a moment, then quickly came out of the rest room and called for the net to be hauled in.
Why?
A depleted luck value indicates a large catch. If the catch exceeds the carrying capacity, there's only one outcome: the net breaks and the fish escape.
Wu An nodded slightly, quite satisfied, as he watched everyone working together more and more seamlessly.
They are all people who are willing to work and know how to work.
As the crane operates, the water slowly flows out of the bulging net bag.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of such a large net bag.
Even Old Fu, who was in the control room, couldn't help but stand up straight when he saw such a bulging net bag.
The net bag was about to fall.
Old Fu was so shocked he broke out in a sweat: "Luckily, Ah An mentioned the net. If we had delayed any longer, the net bag might have burst."
"The internet is overflowing."
"That's great!"
May Goddess Mazu protect us.
Aqing cheered and shouted with joy.
Mei Wu went to untangle the net. We agreed while drinking last night that each of us would take turns untangling it on the boat.
Unraveling the mystery is like opening a blind box, and everyone is very enthusiastic and willing to do it.
Opening a blind box that costs a few dozen yuan is already a great joy.
You can imagine how excited you must be to open a blind box that costs tens of thousands or even more.
"Get rich! Get rich!"
Mei Wu shouted loudly and forcefully pulled open the rope knot. Due to the excessive force, he staggered back two steps and sat down on the deck with a thud.
But the moment he saw the catch, he froze, his mouth involuntarily agape.
His face was perfectly etched with astonishment.
No one laughed at him.
Because the others on deck were doing much the same thing, they were all caught in the nets, the golden fish swirling in the sunlight.
Wu An was the first to react, and his voice trembled as he exclaimed, "Is it a large yellow croaker?"
How much can several tons of large yellow croakers sell for?
Even though his net worth has now reached eight figures, he still couldn't help but feel excited.
This is going to be a big hit.
Upon hearing this, Aqing danced with joy: "Big yellow croaker, big yellow croaker, we caught a big yellow croaker!"
Fu Yongning, with a smile on his face but also a bit annoyed, shouted, "Alright, alright, don't get so worked up. These aren't big yellow croakers, they're small yellow croakers."
Although large and small yellow croakers may seem to differ only in the word "size" in their names, there is actually a big difference between them, especially in terms of price, which can be described as worlds apart.
Ah Qing exclaimed, "How could something this big be a small yellow croaker?!"
Fu Yongning said, "It's not that large yellow croakers are necessarily big; small yellow croakers can also be large. However, the small yellow croakers we caught in this net are on the larger side."
That's normal.
Wu An chose a trawling net with relatively large mesh, so small animals could basically slip through.
Normally, small yellow croakers weigh between two and three ounces, but the one that Aqing is holding right now weighs about half a pound. Fu Yongning squatted down and poked around for a bit, and found an even bigger one.
Fan Dali said happily, "Such a big yellow croaker should fetch a good price."
Fan Xiaozhu nodded.
Fu Yongning agreed with this, but looking at so many small yellow croakers, he took a deep breath: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and cast the net, maybe we can catch some small yellow croakers."
Everyone quickly got to work.
Seeing that Wu An had a lot of luck points, he casually added them to the trawler as well. If it was really as Fu Yongning said, there were still schools of small yellow croakers in the nearby waters, then they could definitely be controlled.
This net contains at least three or four tons of small yellow croakers. If the price is decent, it could sell for over 100,000 yuan, which would be quite good.
He estimated that the net profit from this voyage would be enough to recoup the cost of the fishing boat.
We still need to recruit more people.
That way, we can order several larger trawlers to form a fleet, and then we can do double trawling operations, which will yield even greater profits.
certainly.
The prerequisite is that you can recruit trustworthy and reliable boatmen.
If you hire someone of questionable character, it's like inviting a wolf into your house, with unimaginable consequences.
Wu An pondered as he watched everyone lower their trawl nets and then squat down to sort the small yellow croakers. It was only then that Wu An discovered that, in addition to the small yellow croakers, there were also several other members of the Golden Seven Brothers.
There's also the spring croaker, scientifically known as the yellow croaker, also called the yellow three, which is more expensive than the small yellow croaker.
After searching for a while, I found two more clownfish. These are more expensive, but they are very rare, which is normal. As you can tell from the name, clownfish are relatively small, so the trawl net he was using could hardly catch them.
Those that come online are all big, dumb fish from the Plum Blossom Fish family.
He asked, "How should this be divided?"
Fu Yongning hesitated, as the different specifications would greatly affect the price.
He didn't dare to make a decision, so he went to ask Old Fu for help.
