Old Jiang was somewhat surprised: "So much food?"
Wu An nodded: "There are a lot of people on the boat today."
"Oh, is this going to be big?"
"We haven't been out to sea for days. If we don't do something big, we'll go hungry."
"You little rascal... fine, fine, I'll give you a discount."
"hey-hey."
Do the math.
The group hurried to the dock.
Not long after they arrived at the dock, Old Fu and Mei Wu arrived one after the other.
They were all acquaintances.
When Mei Wu saw Old Fu, he addressed him as "Grandpa" repeatedly. The two families had a good relationship. Last time Wu An visited the Mei family, he originally wanted to invite Old Fu, but Old Fu refused to come no matter what.
After chatting for a few minutes, we boarded the ship.
Dad, sister-in-law, and Li Juan still came to the dock, and everyone stood by the boat waving to them.
"May you be safe and sound."
"You have returned safely."
May everything go smoothly.
"Returning with a full load."
Everyone was saying all sorts of auspicious words, because you can't be too fond of saying good things, just in case Mazu hears any of them.
Wait until the boat is far away.
Everyone went about their own business.
Wu An and A Qing packed up their longline fishing gear. Once they reached their target area, the first thing they would do was set up the longline, then retrieve the bottom net and set it down.
It's probably almost noon.
Next, I reeled in the longline and cleaned up the catch.
My schedule is packed.
The workload was extremely high. He was not only worried about whether everyone could handle it, but also worried that even with such a busy schedule, they might run out of luck.
Originally, he also wanted to call her sister-in-law.
But my sister-in-law has accumulated a "bleeding buff" and can't go out to sea.
Nowadays, although the saying that women cannot go out to sea on a boat is no longer a major concern, there are still some customs and traditions in certain situations.
In response to this.
Wu Ping was also very frustrated.
All that hard work this month has been for nothing.
He has already planned to go to the county hospital next month so that the two of them can have a thorough check-up.
Everyone is busy.
Mei Wu, on the other hand, was somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do.
When I was a child, I used to go out to sea with fishing boats to fish, but after going to school and working, I haven't been out to sea for many years.
Seeing Mei Wu looking around erratically, Wu An asked, "Brother Wu, are you seasick?"
Mei Wu shook his head and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
Wu An pointed to the net baskets next to him and said, "Why don't you tidy up these baskets?"
Previously, there weren't enough net baskets, so Wu An bought a lot more at the dock this time. These net baskets are still semi-finished products and need to be assembled.
Mei Wu nodded, walked over, squatted down, and began to work.
The fishing boats bobbed up and down on the sea.
There are still some storms.
After everyone finished their work, before reaching the target sea area, they all came over to bait their longline fishing lines. This way, it will be much more convenient to bait them in advance and then put them directly into the sea later.
Old Fu steered the boat, while Wu An and the other three sat together, chatting as they worked.
Mei Wu hadn't been to sea for a long time, and he found it all quite exciting, showing some enthusiasm.
Wu An was also quite happy, with so many people on the boat.
It's quite lively.
Besides, we're all family, so we can talk and do whatever we want without feeling awkward.
We arrived near Life Island.
Ah Qing said, "Brother, do you want to fish here with longlines? Lao Fu and I fished here yesterday and had a pretty good catch."
Wu An nodded.
The sea conditions around Huoming Island are complex, the resources are abundant, and there are many schools of fish coming and going. In addition, they do not bottom fish, so the catch is generally not bad.
With the added bonus of luck, the rewards are predictable.
only.
This area is considered their exclusive sea area.
At this point, the wind and waves calmed down a bit, and the four of them worked in succession. The two sets of longline fishing stretched for more than a thousand meters. It seemed very long, but compared to the vast ocean, it was nothing.
We used a longline.
Luck points consumed: 38.
My sister-in-law's longline fishing wasn't that long, so she didn't have as much of a luck bonus.
We used a longline.
Old Fu once again went full speed ahead, quickly arriving at the location where the cage was to be set up.
It's a cliff island.
This island is very difficult to reach. Wu An and his group have been here several times, but they have never been able to set foot on the island and do not know anything about the situation there. However, they did see many seabirds circling around it.
Previously, they used to longline fish on this island.
It's not good to keep taking advantage of others.
Now it's the other way around: using fish traps on Cliff Island and longline fishing on Survival Island.
Find the float.
Winch operation.
With a creaking sound, the fish traps slowly rose up, but when the first row of fish traps was all up, Aqing looked disappointed.
A whole row of fish traps only yielded a few small fish and some snails.
We didn't see a single shrimp or crab.
This surprised both Aqing and Lao Fu. They had been out to sea several times, and this was the first time they had encountered a situation where the fish traps yielded almost no catch.
Aqing was greatly shocked.
This isn't right.
etc.
Yes, yes, yes.
"Old Fu, that makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect! Yesterday we were setting traps, and I wasn't on the boat." Ah Qing laughed heartily, "No wonder the catch was so poor."
"Hahaha."
Old Fu was speechless.
Is this something to be happy about?
Besides.
The place is still the same place. Wu An isn't on the ship. Does that really have such a big impact?
He didn't say anything.
But I still had some doubts.
continue.
The winch pulled up the second row of cages.
The harvest was slightly better than the first row of traps, but the good results were still limited.
Aqing can manage all of this by herself.
Wu Ping and Mei Wu stood by watching, helping to pull the cage, feeling somewhat awkward.
We can't just come on the ship for a short while and do nothing but have fun.
The ground was covered.
Although there wasn't much fish caught, there was a lot of mud and trash, and I don't know how it got into the fish trap.
We ignored the mud, but we still cleaned out the trash and threw it into a bucket.
Old Fu looked on, somewhat unconvinced.
Wu An still insisted on taking it back and throwing it in the trash can.
Although what he did alone was just a drop in the ocean, he couldn't convince himself to do nothing if he saw the situation.
One by one, the fish traps were lifted up.
As it turned out, a problem arose on the third to last turn. Ah Qing noticed that the winch was pulling with difficulty and immediately pressed the emergency stop button, saying, "Trouble, the cage might be stuck."
Wu An takes action.
I tried pulling it.
indeed.
It's stuck.
This is normal.
The seabed is a complex environment where anything can happen.
With the added luck bonus, it's highly likely that getting stuck can be avoided.
Ah Qing said, "Why don't I go down and take a look?"
Wu An shook his head and said, "Don't take the risk, we don't have time to waste that much time."
"never mind."
"Pull up as much as you can."
at last.
The winch operation pulled up a small section of the fish trap, which was severely deformed and naturally contained little to no fish.
Once all the traps were pulled up, Wu An replenished his luck points.
This time, I maxed out my luck stat.
Consumes 190 Luck Points.
After finding another location near the cliff island, Wu An watched as the fish traps were lowered one by one, and couldn't help but pat the side of the boat with excitement.
This is the first time we've fought such a costly battle!
