We arrived at Twin Islands at 3 p.m.
Upon reaching the target sea area, Wu An found the buoy and personally hooked it up.
It was originally meant for Aqing.
Aqing was unhappy, not because she was lazy, but because she felt she had bad luck.
no way.
Wu An had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
The winch started working, and the first row of ground cages was pulled up smoothly.
"Holy crap, we're rich! So many orchid crabs!" Fan Dali couldn't help but shout when he saw the catch being poured out.
"And red flower crabs, the current purchase price at the dock is close to 100 yuan per catty."
Fan Xiaozhu squatted down to take a look and exclaimed with a hint of surprise.
Besides these two more expensive varieties, there is also the cheaper three-spot crab.
Cheap is relative; three-spot crabs can cost 20 to 30 yuan per catty, and the price can go up even further for larger ones.
Aqing and Meiwu squatted down, each taking a net basket, and began sorting.
While sorting through the food, he was still eating his crop.
"Oh my god, how come there are so many crabs?"
"This is going to be interesting."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to finish before dark."
Mei Wu echoed his sentiments with a couple of sentences.
Fan Dali and Fan Xiaozhu, the brothers, were not idle either. They helped tie them up and listened to Aqing and Mei Wu's complaints with strange expressions.
With so many crabs, it's a bumper harvest, so why would anyone complain?
If they could get such a catch from setting traps, they'd be grinning from ear to ear.
Before the first row of fish had even been sorted, the second row of fish traps had already been pulled up.
The shrimp and crabs thrashed about inside the trap, splashing water everywhere.
"Splash!"
The catch was poured out, and the crabs piled up into small mounds again, followed by the orchid crabs, which scattered and crawled around on the deck.
Several crabs even encountered moray eels, biting and pinching each other in a fierce battle.
soon.
A few crabs, lacking any sense of sportsmanship, ganged up on a moray eel, which was quickly defeated.
When Old Fu saw it, the eel had already lost its vital signs. He shouted, "Aqing, come and take care of it quickly!"
Ah Qing came over to take a look. Her fingers were already sore from sorting and tying the crabs, and when she saw that the three-eyed crabs, which were still worthless, had killed the eels, she got even angrier and kicked the three-eyed crabs a few times.
After kicking it away, seeing that the eel wasn't very big, he complained, "Look at your own size, yet you're thinking of eating it."
"It crashed, didn't it?"
"Instead, they got killed by them."
Then they grabbed those three-eyed crabs, tied them up, and lectured them: "We're all fellow inmates in the same boat, why are you killing us?"
The Fan brothers looked at Aqing as if she were a deity, and then they looked at Mei Wu.
Mei Wu smiled and said, "That's how A Qing is."
Although Aqing is a bit eccentric, it has to be said that she adds a bit of fun to the tedious sorting work.
All fifty rows of fish traps were retrieved; the catch was so plentiful that they couldn't keep up with the workload.
Wu An poured everyone a large cup of tea. In this sweltering heat, if people didn't replenish their fluids in time, they could get heatstroke, which would be a serious problem at sea.
After everyone had finished drinking water, Wu An also joined the battle, squatting down to tie up and sort the items.
Fan Dali and Fan Xiaozhu worked very hard, faster than Mei Wu and A Qing.
Seeing this, Wu An called out, "Take it easy, you guys."
Fan Dali, with his head down and tying the ropes, replied, "It's nothing, my brother and I have been cooped up for days."
"Now all this strength can finally be put to good use."
Hehehe.
Wu An laughed and said, "You'll have plenty of time to complain about being tired later."
Fan Dali said, "I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm just afraid of not making any money."
"If every time I go out to sea I can be this busy, it would be awesome."
Fan Xiaozhu nodded in agreement.
Wu An smiled and told Old Fu to start the boat.
Old Fu responded and said, "Ah An, it will probably be dark by the time we get to the dock."
"Alright, Dali, Xiaozhu, when we get to the dock, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"Take a day off tomorrow, and come with me to test the boat the day after tomorrow."
"As long as the weather is good, we will be able to start trawling operations in a couple of days."
"If you have any issues, please take care of them quickly. Trawlers need to stay at sea for at least three to five days."
The two Fan brothers responded in unison.
They were busy sorting things, and time flew by. Old Fu came to remind them that they would arrive at the dock in a little over an hour.
Wu An stopped, washed his hands, and contacted A Jin to pick up the goods.
Then I called home to let them know I was safe, and finally called Mr. Qin to reserve a table for a meal.
It's 7 p.m.
Just as the sorting was finished, the fishing boats arrived at the dock.
The dock was brightly lit, but there weren't many people. Most of the umbrellas were only returning in the evening, as they had already packed up and gone home by this time.
However, even after Wu An's fishing boat docked, many people still gathered to watch the spectacle.
Everyone knows he's lucky; he always gets good cargo on his voyages.
Most people who saw it were incredibly envious and jealous, but they still couldn't help wanting to watch it again.
Humans.
That's exactly right.
First came the golden pomfret, weighing just over a thousand pounds. Everyone thought it looked very good, and after a few comments, they realized it didn't seem to be from the internet, so they didn't think anything of it.
Next up is the conger eel.
"Good heavens, they're all still alive and kicking."
"These things are hard to catch. A few days ago I fished more than 1,000 meters with a longline and only caught three."
“They’ve already carried three baskets.”
"Are you crazy? Comparing him to me?"
"Hehe, that's true."
As everyone was chatting casually, they were immediately taken aback when they saw the swordfish that a few people had brought out.
"Holy crap, a swordfish, it's a swordfish, right?"
"How did you catch this thing?"
"They're really bold, daring to catch swordfish with such a small fishing boat."
"Look at them, everyone is fine and the fishing boat is undamaged. Mazu must have done something."
"They really value money over their lives."
"They're lucky and daring, no wonder they make money."
One, two...
When the nine swordfish were unloaded from the boat, the scene erupted in excitement.
The swordfish was loaded onto the vehicle and transported away. Wu An didn't dare to show his face much and also went with the vehicle.
He had considered that it would cause a sensation, but he didn't expect everyone to be this excited.
Fortunately, he had instructed everyone beforehand not to reveal that it was a swordfish he had caught; otherwise, rumors would have spread and become quite unbelievable.
On the bus.
Ajin kept making phone calls.
He contacted some business owners to bid on the fish. The large yellow croaker was one thing, but the swordfish, although not expensive per unit, was quite rare and worth the effort.
After putting down his phone, Ah Jin said, "Brother An, the same old routine."
Wu An nodded.
Ah Jin glanced back and said, "It's a pity we missed the fishing auction, otherwise these swordfish and yellow croakers would definitely have fetched a better price."
Arrived at the market.
Gao Qiangqi also arrived and was quite shocked to see so many swordfish: "Thankfully, everyone is alright."
