By the time we reached the sixth network, it was already 10:30 p.m.
The weather isn't very good.
It started to drizzle.
But it's not a big problem, it's just that wearing a raincoat makes it a little inconvenient to work.
The catch from these fishing nets was so-so, mainly consisting of crabs.
Flower crabs, stone crabs, mud crabs, and hermit crabs are generally called "sea monsters" here. They're quite delicious to eat. In the north, they're called "shrimp monsters."
In the past, there were so many that no one bothered to pick them up, but now the price is quite good, around 20 or 30 yuan per kilogram.
The front half of a hermit crab is similar to that of a crayfish, but the back half is rather strange, looking almost deformed. In fact, it is the most delicious part.
Wu An really likes to eat it. He steams it directly in a pot, removes the shrimp vein, and the whole belly is edible. When you take a bite, the taste is rich and slightly bitter, with a rich and fatty flavor.
It's like eating crab roe, but with a larger quantity, making it very satisfying.
After sorting through them for a while, there weren't many hermit crabs in total, only about a dozen. There was no need to sell them, so I threw them into the net basket to keep for breakfast tomorrow.
There were mostly crabs, so sorting them was quite tiring. Not only did they have to be classified, but some also had to be tied up. Ah Qing's fingers cramped, and she cried out in pain.
This is truly a case of "counting money until your hands cramp."
Wu An checked his luck points. He had been busy for ten hours and had used up more than a thousand luck points. Just the trawling alone had consumed nearly eight hundred points.
What remains are the fishing boats and the tools everyone uses.
Wu An said, "Let's cast another net, and then we'll rest."
When he speaks, no one says a word.
Fu Yongning was truly impressed. He had worked on Boss Chen's fishing boat in this area countless times before, but he had never had such a good catch.
If Boss Chen knew that Wu An had caught so much fish in his designated "own waters" on his first day, he would probably be furious.
At 11:30, the seventh network was successfully connected.
With the help of luck, trawls generally won't have any major problems; getting snagged on the bottom is unlikely, but there's a possibility of the net bursting due to an overcrowded catch.
"This net looks pretty good."
"If it's bulging, it must be pretty good."
"This trip might even be more profitable than the last one."
"you do not say."
Everyone chatted happily.
The last trip to sea lasted three days, and then we had to rest for several days as well. In total, it was about a week. If they could go to sea four times a month, even Fu Yongning and the Fan brothers could earn at least 100,000 yuan a month!
Even after deducting a few months of fishing moratorium, their annual income is still several hundred thousand yuan. If they are lucky, they might even be able to earn a million yuan a year!
Just thinking about it made them feel a little dizzy.
In the past, they wouldn't have dared to even dream of earning a million a year as a boatman.
Crazy?
Now, they dare to think, and they're not just having wild, random ideas.
The prerequisite is that the weather cooperates and allows them to stay at sea for a few more days without any problems.
Mei Wu went up to untangle the net.
As the rope was pulled back, it was as if a rain of squid had fallen—or rather, a black rain, because the trawl net was spraying ink onto the deck, creating a chaotic flow of black water.
Everyone was stunned.
"So many rocket squid and airplane heads, hey, there are also small squid, there seem to be quite a lot of them. The octopuses are all quite big, I saw several at a glance."
It's late at night.
The lights are focused.
These mollusks are stacked on top of each other, looking like a twisted mountain of flesh.
Wu Anxin said that it was fortunate that "The Squid Who Loves Diving" hadn't written "The Queen of Best Friends" yet, otherwise everyone would definitely feel disgusted after seeing this thing.
It looks exactly like the unspeakable monster from Cthulhu.
Nowadays, people don't understand what "indescribable" means. Seeing so many squid and cuttlefish, everyone couldn't stop laughing.
"Get to work."
"Finish it early so you can rest early."
Everyone squatted down and began sorting.
Although we were all wearing raincoats, they were basically useless; we still got wet. The rain and wind were cold at night, but we couldn't stand it because we were working and moving around so much that we were all sweating.
Ah Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, there's a bluefin bream here!"
Wu An showed it to Fu Yongning, who nodded: "It's not a parrot, it's definitely a woman in blue."
"It's a pity he's dead."
"Otherwise, they could be sold as ornamental fish."
At this moment.
Mei Wu and Fan Dali both shouted, and they also spotted the blue-skinned fish.
Wu An was somewhat surprised: "So many women in blue?"
Fu Yongning said, "These small squid and the like are all in Qingyi's recipes, but to be able to catch so many in one net is still... quite difficult."
He phrased it quite tactfully, without directly stating that women in green robes live alone and generally do not travel in groups.
In that case, how do you explain the large number of women in blue robes appearing online?
Since it's generally not the case, then this is a "second-best" situation.
The catch from this net wasn't complicated, but there were quite a few wrasses. Fu Yongning noticed that some of the wrasses were in very good condition, so he quickly sent them to the live fish storage.
After sorting through the catch, Fu Yongning habitually reported the situation: "There are about two and a half tons of squid, and 42 wrasses."
"I estimate that the large gathering of squid attracted the swarm of blue-tailed wrasses, which is why we were able to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"How come I never realized that this little trench could yield so many fish?"
He couldn't help but sigh at the end.
Ah Qing said smugly, "You used to follow Boss Chen, and that guy wasn't a good person. Even the Goddess Mazu wouldn't protect you. My brother is different."
"The most beloved child of Mazu, do you understand?"
"He came, and then the catch followed."
Fu Yongning smiled and nodded, indicating that what he said made sense. Then he looked at Wu An, rubbed his hands together, and said, "An, since no one seems to be going to sleep, why don't we play another round of internet gaming?"
Wu An shook his head: "The rain hasn't stopped, and with working at night, the debuffs are almost fully stacked."
"Let's take a break."
"Before everyone goes to sleep, each of you will drink a cup of 999."
Getting a cold or fever on a ship can be quite troublesome. After working in the rain for so long, we need to take precautions.
Wu An returned to the lounge.
It was already 1:30 a.m.
Luck has been refreshed.
Check.
1711 (333)
So low?
Wu An didn't know why, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had traveled for half a day and only started working online at noon, they had actually kept everyone very busy.
He was really worried that if things were this busy the next day, everyone wouldn't be able to handle it.
Why?
The catch he posted online was enough for ten people to sort and process, but there were only seven people on their boat at most, so the workload was far beyond what was required.
One or two days is fine, but if you keep working this overloaded, you definitely won't be able to take it.
It would be better to do it this way.
One day busy, one day leisurely, giving everyone time to relax.
Good.
He guessed that's just how the system is, which is why it gave him so little luck.
Fu Yongning didn't say anything more. He led his men to clean and wash the deck. After that, he went into the lounge, where all sorts of snoring could be heard.
He didn't sleep.
Instead, he brewed a strong cup of tea and went to relieve Old Fu to rest.
Wu An and his group stopped.
But the sea at night is bustling with activity.
Various fish were eating each other, and the scene of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp was playing out all the time and everywhere. However, a killer whale, after receiving a message from a dolphin, quietly left the whale pod.
