Wu An went to set sail, leaving Old Fu to handle the tuna.
Old Fu went to deal with it quickly.
This treatment surprised me: "Wow, that's unusual!"
"It looks like these big-eyed creatures haven't been dead for very long."
"That's great, that's great."
Tuna are excellent swimmers, but they have a disease that causes them to die if they don't swim. If they die and are not treated for a long time, the meat quality will decline, the taste will become very bad, and naturally, the price will be greatly affected.
Cut off the tail and bleed it.
After a series of actions, Old Fu's smile widened even more, because the meat of the two bigeye tuna was not affected in the slightest, which was truly an unexpected delight.
After handling it, I called Ah Qing over to put it in the warehouse together.
By this time, Wu An had also retrieved the last hundred meters of the net.
The netting was completely destroyed and could no longer be used.
This net only had one large eye, but it was much larger than the other two. Old Fu took a look and clicked his tongue, saying, "This is the first time I've seen one this big. It must weigh six or seven hundred pounds."
After catching a bigeye tuna with his net, Wu An did some research and learned that an adult bigeye tuna usually weighs around 400 pounds.
Aqing suddenly realized: "Great! This one is the king of bigeye tuna, it'll definitely fetch a higher price."
Aqing nodded.
The last fish in the net went even further; this fish was stronger than the other two. Although what Aqing said was a bit childish, it was true.
Old Fu quickly took action.
Whether it can fetch a better price depends on the quality of the meat.
It looks like it can bleed people.
Old Fu smiled with relief and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness. I reckon these big-eyed creatures must have struggled for a long time. Although they were trapped by the net, they were strong enough to run around with the net around them."
"They ran around all day, but ended up not getting any food, and eventually they died from exhaustion."
"We arrived just in time."
After finishing their work, the three of them quickly lowered the 300-meter-long net into the sea. It was already 12:30, which was considered fast.
As they became more skilled at hauling in the net, the three of them worked together more and more seamlessly. Sometimes, they didn't need to say anything; a glance or even a gesture was enough for the other two to react.
Wu An sighed, "It's a pity that two hundred meters of the netting was destroyed, so we can only go down three hundred meters today."
Old Fu smiled and said, "But we caught three bigeye tuna."
"Two hundred meters of netting only costs a few dollars."
"We've made a fortune!"
Aqing nodded happily in agreement.
That's right.
Wu An didn't add much luck to the net, only giving it 15 points. He realized that giving too much would easily attract big fish.
This time we were lucky, the bigeye tuna had just died. Next time we might be unlucky, if these tuna have been dead for a long time and are caught again, the meat will be ruined and we won't get a good price.
The adhesive netting is too fragile.
It can't withstand too strong an impact.
Ultimately, for him, netting operations had significant limitations, and it was quite laborious to collect them.
Between longline fishing and gillnetting, Wu An still prefers longline fishing. He'll go back and ask Boss Zhao to see which one can be supplied in large quantities and stably over a long period.
As for beachcombing and Pan Shui Keng, I really don't have time to do them now.
And so, we're already too busy to keep up.
If you keep working too hard, you'll run into problems.
Ultimately, the problem was a lack of manpower on board.
As long as the weather is good and there are days when you can go out to sea to fish, your luck value has never been lower than one hundred. Wu An figured that the system also gives you the luck value based on the situation.
Therefore, it is clear that in the future, daily luck will only increase.
Therefore, increasing manpower should be put on the agenda. If all else fails, we should ask Old Mai and Brother Qiang if they have any suitable manpower.
He doesn't plan to hire just anyone; he believes it's more reliable to hire someone recommended by his own people.
We arrived at the cliff island.
Ah Qing looked through the binoculars: "Brother, the Fan family father and son are still here."
Wu An nodded.
Upon getting closer, he expressed his gratitude. Although the Fan family father and son had initially planned to stay at sea to guard the fish trap, they had at least helped look after it.
Old Man Fan was rather impolite, asking, "Didn't you say you arrived at dawn? Why are you here at this hour?"
Wu An said, "I went to collect the sticky nets before coming over. Did I delay your return?"
Old Man Fan was about to speak when Fan Dali replied loudly, "No, we haven't salvaged it yet."
"Did you call the police?"
Wu An nodded.
"That……"
"The police took me around the dock, but we didn't find any clues."
"Hmph, then we'll have to go to the police station to report when we get back." Old Fan shook his head and said, "They'll definitely still suspect us."
"We could have stayed out of it."
Fan Dali nodded.
The old man was still complaining about his interference. The old man was getting old and his mind was not clear. He wouldn't listen to anyone. It was really a grievance. In the end, it was all because you insisted on following Wu An and the others that this trouble happened.
But as a son, he couldn't be too blunt and embarrass his father.
Fan Xiaozhu said, "Dad, my brother did the right thing."
Old Man Fan snorted angrily.
Fan Dali said to Wu An, "Then let's go and do the salvage operation. When we get back, we'll go to the police station and tell them everything we know. We hope the police can find some clues from it."
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you his contact information. You can contact him directly. If it's not mandatory, you shouldn't go to the police station."
"It wouldn't be good if you were implicated and retaliated against."
Fan Dali said, "Don't say that. We followed you to the den of the traps, and to be honest..."
Old Man Fan interjected, "We still don't know if we'll get anything."
"Dad, please stop talking." Fan Xiaozhu tugged at the old man, who knew he was in the wrong and shut his mouth reluctantly.
Wu An smiled and stopped being polite with Fan Dali. The two boats separated and began their respective operations.
Ah Qing whispered, "Brother, these two brothers are alright, but that old man isn't so great."
Wu An nodded.
I won't say more.
Get to work.
Wu An had given up resisting and went to retrieve the buoy.
Fortunately, the winch was installed early on, so no manpower was needed and he wasn't tired. The first row of traps brought up were still mainly mantis shrimp, but they were much worse than yesterday's.
About half of the mantis shrimp in the trap are gone.
Ah Qing cursed and said that it must have been a thief who stole the fish trap and ruined his luck.
The situation is similar in the second row and the first row of fish traps.
Old Fu looked on and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the Fan family father and son took advantage of our absence to salvage it first..."
Wu An was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "No."
"These mantis shrimp come and go, do you think they'll stay here waiting for us to put in the traps before crawling in?"
"After we finish this harvest, we'll go to another location to plant it."
Old Fu and A Qing then stopped talking and focused on their work.
Wu An said this, but it would be a lie to say he wasn't thinking about it. In fact, it would be easy to verify; he could just ask the Fan family father and son about their fishing catch.
To get more accurate information, you can also have someone keep an eye on them.
