Wu An watched as Old Fu skillfully prepared the swordfish, while Mei Wu diligently learned from him. He nodded in satisfaction.
One who is willing to learn.
One who is willing to teach.
Mei Wu and he were very close, so he gave him the same share as Old Fu.
Logically speaking...
Mei Wu is a newcomer, and given his lack of understanding of offshore fishing operations, it's impossible to offer him such a high percentage of the profits.
To put it bluntly, Wu An gave him so much money purely because of their family relationship.
As long as Wu An doesn't say anything, Mei Wu can continue to live like this.
But Mei Wu did not just drift along.
Since arriving on the ship, he has been working alongside Aqing, doing whatever Aqing does, and learning very quickly.
After learning all of A Qing's skills, he began to learn from Old Fu.
For example, right now.
Whenever he had free time, he would follow Old Fu and learn as he watched. Occasionally, Old Fu would even let him try things out himself.
In this respect, Mei Wu is better than A Qing.
Aqing isn't lazy, but he only does what he's supposed to do and doesn't take the initiative to learn.
Unless Wu An requests it.
Seeing that Aqing was preparing to wash the deck, Wu An said, "Go and take down the fishing rod first."
Seeing that the two fishing rods were still hanging there, his heart pounded.
What if I win again?
Pulling such a huge object is no joke, mainly because there's not much auxiliary equipment on the ship, so it can only be pulled up by manpower.
Aqing ran to pack up the fishing rod.
Wu An said, "Ah Qing, Old Fu will get an extra 10% of the catch. He provided all the fishing gear."
“We’ll split this money equally among the three of us, including Brother Wu.”
All three of them benefited from Old Fu's success, so it's unreasonable for him to share 10% of his earnings with Old Fu.
This isn't about being petty; it's fine if he takes out one song for himself, but one thing should be considered separately.
Sometimes, you can't be too generous.
Aqing said, "Brother, why are you telling me all this?"
"You can arrange it as you see fit."
Wu An smiled and said, "I should have told you."
Aqing muttered, "You still have time to talk back? Aren't you tired?"
"..." Wu An was speechless. If he hadn't been so tired, he would have definitely kicked A Qing.
That kid is just asking for it.
When Wu An returned, he told Mei Wu about it, and the latter nodded, naturally having no objections.
We tidied up the deck a bit together, and Aunt Juan's cooking was ready.
Wu An also took two golden pomfret, one to make sashimi and the other to steam.
It tastes alright.
Admittedly, the taste isn't as good as white pomfret, so there's a reason it's cheaper.
After finishing their meal, no one suggested going to retrieve their longline fishing gear; instead, they sat and drank tea.
Everyone's faces were filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest as they chatted and laughed.
Not to mention Wu An and the other two, even Old Fu felt that he was no longer able to do it.
It's been exactly 12 hours since we set sail. I'm truly a good person, and I'm really tired.
But to be honest, compared to my previous experience on a ship, this level of workload is nothing.
Once Fu Yongning arrived on the ship and understood how much money he could earn there, he would be willing to work for 24 hours straight, let alone 12. In fact, he would be more enthusiastic than anyone else.
He's getting old.
I can't keep up with the experience and physical strength.
As he smoked, the old man couldn't help but wonder how many more years he could work on the ship.
Thinking that I might not be able to work for many more years, I feel very reluctant to leave.
The most important reason was naturally that I could earn a lot of money following Wu An, and also that working on Wu An's ship was just too comfortable.
Wu An called out twice before Old Fu came to his senses and asked with a smile, "Old Fu, what are you thinking about?"
Old Fu shook his head, though it was impossible for him to voice his thoughts.
He asked, "What is it?"
Wu An sat down next to him and said, "I see you are teaching Mei Wu how to do things."
Old Fu said, "He's willing to learn."
Wu An said, "When we get back another day, I'll have him formally become your apprentice, how about that?"
Old Fu's eyes lit up: "I'd be willing, but would A-Wu be willing?"
Wu Anxin said that he had no reason not to, not to mention that he was a generation older than him for nothing, but he said aloud, "He would definitely be willing."
"I thought so."
“I ordered two trawlers, so you’ll definitely be responsible for one of them.”
"As for the other ship, we'll hand it over to Brother Wu once he finishes his apprenticeship."
He originally intended to give it to Aqing.
To be honest, Aqing is not up to the task; she should just stay by his side and be his lackey.
Old Fu understood the subtext of Wu An's words and said with a smile, "Don't worry, An, even if Wu doesn't become my apprentice, I won't hide it from you."
He already didn't have many years left to do his job, so he wasn't worried at all about the situation where his apprentices would starve him to death.
Moreover, Wu An had already made a promise to him, and he believed that Wu An could keep his word.
Wu An made an agreement with Old Fu, and then spoke with Mei Wu, who was naturally overjoyed and immediately called him Master.
Old Fu nodded with a smile.
After resting for a while, Old Fu suggested going longline fishing, but Wu An shook his head and told everyone to rest.
On the one hand, everyone's condition was not very good, and it took several hours to reel in a 3,000-meter longline.
Furthermore, he checked the consumption of his luck points in longline fishing through the system, and the situation was not good; he still had a few luck points left to use.
After setting the alarms, everyone went to bed and rested.
Old Fu has also gone to sleep.
In broad daylight, there are generally no problems.
...
Wu An was woken up by the noise.
Opening his eyes, he saw that Old Fu and Mei Wu were not there, and that A Qing was still snoring loudly, so he didn't disturb her and quietly left the boat shed.
As soon as I came out, I saw the Fan brothers and greeted them, "When did you arrive?"
"I just got here a little while ago," Fan Dali greeted him. "Did I wake you up?"
Wu An yawned and asked, "Have you just set sail, or...?"
Fan Dali sighed: "Let's get ready to go back. We've been out for two days."
"How was the harvest?"
"I can barely make a little money."
"That's okay too."
And you?
"I haven't reeled in my longline fishing yet."
At this moment.
Old Man Fan walked over and snorted, "Who are you trying to fool? I saw quite a few golden pomfret."
"Could it be that the golden pomfret jumped onto your boat by itself?"
Wu An frowned.
What's the old man's intention?
Such a terrible attitude, are you on fire?
Fan Dali's expression changed, and he quickly shouted, "Dad, what are you saying?"
"Who told you to go and look at other people's catch?"
"You should go back right away."
As he was speaking, Fan Xiaozhu reached out to pull the old man up.
Old Man Fan was a little agitated and shouted, "Why are you pulling me?"
"This kid is dishonest."
“If you follow him, he'll sell you out sooner or later, and then you'll be counting the money for him.”
Wu An became increasingly confused. Had he betrayed the Fan Dali brothers?
Are they sold by weight or by the piece?
