Old Fu untied the net and said, "Hurry up, we can only throw it twice more at most."
Wu Ping asked, "Can you catch a big fish?"
Old Fu shook his head: "It's unlikely."
"Too fast."
"And the big fish is below the school of pomfret."
But what if you get incredibly lucky?
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
throw!
The three of them cast their nets in unison. After pulling the nets up, they quickly checked their catch, but there were no big fish to be found, and even the pomfret were much fewer than before.
The amount was reduced by about one-third.
The three continued to set off.
When pulling in the net, it was noticeably easier. But when I pulled the net up, the catch was pitifully small, only about a quarter of what it used to be.
The school of fish was almost completely scattered.
The orcas had all swum away into the distance, leaving only one orca behind, which should be the one that helped teach the giant grouper a lesson earlier.
Tiger whimpered, as if saying goodbye.
Wu An waved his hand in thanks: "Thank you, see you next time."
Tiger then fell into the sea and disappeared. He reappeared at the limit of the light's range, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely out of sight.
Wu An looked at the last bit of luck he had left and quickly added it to the net.
Let's do it one more time.
He didn't intend to do much; he just wanted to use up all his luck points.
"Hey!"
He shouted a signal to help.
He felt exhausted when he threw the net.
Even with a winch, casting nets is still quite tiring.
My hands and back ache.
The net was cast out in the air and then landed on the sea. Wu An noticed that the net was suddenly lifted up, and then the water rippled. He looked closely, but he didn't see anything.
Are you seeing things?
Or did the net catch a big fish that came to snatch the food?
After waiting a while, he started setting up the net.
Then... finding that it couldn't be pulled, Wu An's face lit up with joy, and he quickly tied it to the winch.
It's a big fish.
But I don't know what kind of fish it is.
As long as it's not on the list of protected wild animals, it's fine.
Wu Ping and Lao Fu Tou also cast their nets, just like him, but they quickly pulled them up, only catching one or two pomfret in total. Neither of them were disappointed.
They were all mentally prepared.
The fish scattered, so this kind of catch is perfectly normal.
The two glanced at Wu An using the winch, but didn't think much of it, assuming that Wu An was too tired to exert himself.
They had just squatted down to clean up the pomfret when they heard a loud "bang".
I turned my head and looked.
The person paused, stunned.
What's in the net?
It looks huge!
Still struggling...
But it soon stopped flapping.
Wu Ping realized what was happening and suddenly stood up: "Did you hit a big truck?"
Old Fu also got up and quickly walked over: "Wow, it's huge!"
"Ah An, that's impressive! You actually managed to get this big one up here."
"It's tuna."
"It's unlucky that it got caught in the net, or is Ah An incredibly lucky?"
As Old Fu spoke, he quickly untangled the net.
Mei Wu and A Qing heard the commotion and ran over to see what was going on. When they saw the tuna, A Qing lay down next to it and measured the tuna with her own body.
Discovering that it was larger than the tuna, it excitedly exclaimed, "I'm longer than it!"
Wu An asked expectantly, "Bluefin?"
Old Fu examined it carefully and shook his head, saying, "No, it's Big Eyes."
"It looks a lot like the bluefin, but its head and eyes are bigger."
"This is the most common type, and also the most cost-effective. It's the most prevalent type on the market."
Upon hearing this, Wu An couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
As he spoke, he used a winch to lift the tuna up and bleed it. Wu An and the others didn't understand, so they could only watch helplessly as Old Fu performed the procedure while explaining.
Actually, there's not much difficulty in operating it.
Working on a ship is mainly physical labor.
Wu An cast his net again, but he caught not a single tuna, let alone a pomfret.
The net has caught no fish, but life isn't over yet.
There were still a lot of pomfret piled up on the deck that hadn't been processed. Five people squatted down and hurriedly collected them into net baskets and put them in the warehouse. As a result, there were still a third of the pomfret that couldn't be put in the warehouse.
Another margin call.
no way.
They can only be piled up on the deck.
Old Fu set sail, driving at full speed towards the dock.
We went to the town's dock.
With so much cargo on board, maximizing profits is definitely the goal.
Sailing at night is a bit dangerous, but with Old Fu at the helm, everyone felt safe.
Have a safe journey.
On the way, since the catch was mostly sea fish, Wu An only contacted Lao Fang.
They eventually reached the shore.
Not only was Lao Fang there, but Gao Qiangqi was there too.
"Brother Qiang, Lao Fang." Before the boat had even come to a complete stop, Wu An waved and greeted them.
Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang boarded the ship.
Old Fang noticed that Wu An seemed a bit off and explained with a smile, "From what you've said, I know I might not be able to handle it, so I asked Boss Gao for help."
Wu An looked at Gao Qiangqi.
Gao Qiangqi said, "I've expanded my channels; besides the original business, I need everything else."
"Especially high-end goods."
"Let me see the giant grouper quickly."
Wu An opened the live fish tank and shone the light down. The giant grouper lay peacefully in the water, its tail swaying slightly.
Gao Qiangqi beamed with joy: "Such a huge wild giant grouper, and it's still alive!"
"Ah An, it was definitely right for me to rely on you."
How much do you plan to sell this fish for?
Wu An was taken aback: "How else can it be sold?"
Gao Qiangqi said, "The simplest way is for you to sell it to me, and I'll buy it for 100,000."
"I can also organize a gathering."
“We’ll find some business owners to sell this giant grouper through a secret auction. I can’t guarantee how much it will sell for, but it certainly won’t be less than 100,000. I’ll take a 10% cut.”
Wu An thought for a moment: "Wouldn't organizing a gathering be too much trouble?"
Gao Qiangqi patted him on the shoulder: "No."
"It's just a matter of me making a few phone calls."
"We should have the results first thing tomorrow morning."
Wu An nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Qiang. I'll entrust this fish entirely to you, and I won't show my face."
Gao Qiangqi smiled and nodded: "I won't let you have a chance to show off."
Wu An: "Let's not stand on ceremony."
"Haha, okay."
Old Fang was exclaiming in surprise, astonished by the baskets of pomfret. Wu An had already mentioned it on the phone, but seeing it in person was still quite a shock.
"I've never seen a trawler catch this many pomfret."
“Every time Ah An goes out to sea, I feel a lot of pressure.”
"I can only manage to take half at most."
"Brother Qiang, can you eat this?"
Gao Qiangqi smiled and nodded.
"Moving goods."
They found some helpers, and started moving the goods basket by basket.
Even though it was already 11 p.m., there were still quite a few people at the dock, and many fishing boats had docked. Several groups of vendors came and went, and they noticed that Wu An's fishing boat had not finished unloading its cargo yet.
However, moving the goods kept them busy until midnight.
Wu An checked his luck score.
Luck value: 440 (399)
Wu An saw this.
I'm completely numb.
How am I supposed to sleep when the system is messing things up like this?
