Old Fu stepped out of the cockpit to take a look.
"Wow, it's so big."
He looked amazed.
Wu An asked, "Rarely seen?"
Old Fu nodded: "Extremely rare. The net has only been in place for about two hours. Even if it had encountered a school of fish, it wouldn't be this swollen."
When Wu An heard him say that, he understood why Old Fu was so shocked.
There are limits to how long a trawl net can be dragged across the seabed.
Unless all the sea fish are going crazy and diving into the trawl net, it's practically impossible for the net to stretch into a ball like this.
Wu An thought for a moment.
That makes sense.
After all, he cheated.
Wu An changed the subject and said, "Old Fu, there's something I need to know. Do you recognize the boatman I spoke to on Jing He's ship?"
Old Fu said, "Of course I know him, his name is Old Feng."
"He's a nice person."
"I actually wanted to recruit him onto your ship before."
Wu An smiled and said, "Then why wasn't it done?"
Old Fu shook his head: "He's a bit stubborn. He thinks that if he takes Boss Chen's salary, he has to be Boss Chen's boatman for a day. So when Boss Chen wants to sell the boat, he refuses to leave."
"They said they'd wait until this month was finished."
"He's right, and there's nothing I can do to persuade him."
Wu An nodded.
If that's the case, this person would be very suitable to work on his ship.
With the money in place, everything is negotiable.
fine.
Wu An said, "Okay, then you can talk to him after we return."
"I welcome him here."
"And another thing is to inquire about Izuru."
Old Fu knew what Wu An was worried about and said, "Don't worry, that guy doesn't talk much normally, but once he drinks, he becomes a chatterbox."
"I'll treat him to a big meal."
Wu An smiled; he trusted Old Fu with everything he did.
"Crunch, crunch."
The crane was making noise.
Wu An didn't approach, but instead pulled on the rope from a distance, but still couldn't pull it open. Seeing this, Mei Wu and A Qing came over to help.
The three of them worked together.
Finally, the opening of the mesh bag was opened.
However, the expected scene of the catch tilting down did not occur. Instead, piles of seaweed fell down, causing Ah Qing to repeatedly exclaim "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"
The expressions on the other people's faces froze.
They were all dumbfounded.
Wu An remained calm. He had already used up all his luck points, so it was definitely not something that could be accomplished with just seaweed.
He called out, "Never mind that for now, let's get the net shut, let's get the net shut."
Everyone composed themselves and logged off the internet in an orderly manner.
Seeing everyone busy, Wu An stepped forward, parted the seaweed, and saw a large red fish that had already spat out its swim bladder. He showed an expression of "I knew it" and said, "There's a catch in the seaweed."
"Be careful when you pry it open."
They were all surprised to see the large red spot he found: "This red spot is huge, it must weigh four or five pounds."
Aqing quickly ran up and started to pull it away.
He quickly found a red spot, held it up, and shouted, "I found one too!"
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly came up to sort the goods.
They pushed the seaweed aside and threw it back into the sea.
"Brother, a big yellow croaker! A big yellow croaker!"
Ah Qing happily held up a large yellow croaker, which looked quite big. When weighed, it weighed 6 jin (3 catties)!
Mei Wu also found one.
Then a chain reaction ensued, and Fan Dali and the others also discovered it.
A school of large yellow croakers!
They had only cleared half of the aquatic plants when they found more than a dozen large yellow croakers. The smallest of them weighed three pounds, and the largest one, a six-pound yellow croaker, was found by Aqing.
Wu An didn't join in the fun.
But watching from the sidelines, you can also empathize with what they're going through.
Ah Qing's shouts were almost nonstop, and there were even more large yellow croakers, as well as red-spotted fish and rock bream, all of which are high-value sea fish.
Old Fu said with a smile, "Ah An's luck is as good as ever."
Fu Yongning nodded and said, "Yes."
"Logically speaking, this is a deep-sea area, and large yellow croakers should hardly be active in waters this deep."
"We've not only gotten online."
"And they caught so many, it's unbelievable."
Wu An smiled but remained silent.
Unbelievable?
With all these cheat codes, what can't happen?
He could only think these words in his heart; naturally, he could not say them aloud.
"Not necessarily."
"It could be a change in water temperature."
Old Fu concluded with a statement that, while somewhat far-fetched, was indeed a possibility.
Sorting is done.
Fu Yongning put the catch into the cold storage, rubbed his hands together, and walked into the rest room, saying with a happy face, "I estimate the large yellow croaker weighs at least 300 jin."
There are also ten red-spotted fish.
"There are also a lot of rock sea bream; this net is really good."
Aqing said, "It's a pity there's too much seaweed. If there weren't so much, our harvest would have at least doubled."
Wu An smiled and said, "That's not bad either. This net should bring in at least 200,000."
One net of 200,000.
Even if it were just the Fan brothers, with a commission rate of one percent, they could still earn two thousand yuan.
This is just one example.
A trip to sea can easily net at least a dozen or twenty nets, which can generate a substantial income.
Everyone was very happy.
The Fan brothers were also looking forward to making a good amount of money before the Chinese New Year so that they could build a house in a big way after the New Year.
When that time comes, matchmakers from all around will come running.
Everyone had just finished their work and, without taking a break, went to ask Wu An if they should start the second round of fishing. Wu An checked the system and found that he still had 3 points of luck left.
Then they told everyone to set up a net.
However, the second net yielded not only no large yellow croakers, but also very little seaweed. The catch consisted mainly of shrimp and crabs, which was still decent, but the need to tie them up caused everyone considerable distress.
By the time everyone finished their work, it was already 1 p.m.
Wu An sat for lunch.
Besides a few other home-style dishes, Wu An mainly made steamed yellow croaker.
tasty.
I love to eat.
I want to eat more.
The fish maw, in particular, is quite good; it's definitely worth the price.
Soft, chewy and bouncy.
It's full of collagen.
Wu An thoroughly enjoyed the meal and commented at the end that the yellow croaker was good, the garlic-shaped meat and fish maw were also excellent, but one shouldn't eat too much of it.
Eating too much can make you feel tired of it.
Everyone was speechless at his comments. Who could eat yellow croaker maw until they were sick of it?
I just finished eating.
Everyone continued to work diligently on the sorting and sorting tasks, often until the early hours of the morning.
Although he still had some luck left, Wu An followed his usual rule and stopped casting nets after midnight. He would rest after sorting the last catch.
even so.
When Wu An woke up on the third day, he still saw that everyone looked much more haggard. A Qing was okay, but Mei Wu and the others had unshaven beards.
According to Fu Yongning, this is already considered very good.
You can rest normally and wash up.
In the past, they would work and then sleep, then work again, eating only when they had a spare moment. They were extremely busy but still didn't earn much money.
He's making so much money now, he'd be happy to work himself to death.
Under these circumstances, by the third night, the fishing boats were basically full of catch. Old Fu asked Wu An if he wanted to return, as they could still haul in a few more nets on the way back.
Wu An is perfectly acceptable.
