One by one, the shrimp cages were pulled up, and the fishermen smiled more and more.

The fifty boxes in the first cage were pulled up, and almost all came back with a full load, with a total of sixty or seventy lobsters in it. There was at least one lobster in each box, and two more, which was an absolute harvest!

"We are so lucky!" A fisherman couldn't help but sigh.

The bull glared at him and said, "You are as stupid as a lobster. Are we lucky? No, it's the captain's family-born spells that are powerful!"

The smoker held the pipe in his mouth and nodded seriously and said, "Well, the bull is a good flatterer!"

After hearing this, the group laughed, and the bull said unconvincedly: "Isn't it?"

Qin Shiou smiled and patted his shoulder to tell him not to be excited, saying, "I am also lucky. No matter how powerful the magic is, it depends more on God's will."

This is the benefit in North America. If you encounter any lazy explanation or unexplainable things, just say "God's will".

Lobsters are really stupid, or they are too greedy. In fact, according to the Canadian government regulations, these shrimp cages have two openings, one on the front and the other on the side.

In this way, the lobsters can get into the cage and just turn around and escape. This is done to protect the renewable use of lobster resources.

But lobsters that get into the cage rarely escape. They are not good at swimming, they are lazy and greedy overall, and eat bait in the cage with relish. After eating, they are full, and the rest is rest.

The lobsters were roughly divided according to their size. Five fishermen kept taking out the lobster and threw them into the cart. Two of them were responsible for sending the cart into the ice cabin.

After pulling a string of cages, Qin Shiou directed Shaq to continue moving towards the next one. In this way, he could pull a string of cages in about twenty minutes, and the first harvest would be over in an hour and a half.

There were 200 cages, because the shrimp cage placed by Qin Shiou was on their migration route, it achieved a great harvest and harvested three hundred small lobsters in one go.

The bull asked the smoker to estimate the weight, and the smoker pondered and said, "It's about 500 kilograms."

Hearing his words, the fishermen cheered again. The bull's face turned red and he pounded the side of the ship and shouted "Yeah".

A 500-kilogram lobster is only a thousand pounds. Now the price of lobsters is soaring, even if they are wholesale out of the harbor, one pound has risen to more than twenty yuan.

Then, in this way, a thousand pounds of lobsters cost 20,000 yuan. Each of them can get more than 500 yuan.

More than 500 yuan is not much, but this is just a trip to collect the cages. The cages are fast during the day, and you can collect them once in half a day. This way, you can collect them about three times a day. If you are optimistic, you can harvest 1,500 yuan in a day!

Qin Shiou felt that 20,000 yuan was nothing, but it was more than that much money to maintain the Porsche 918.

Seeing that the fishermen were happy, he simply made them happy, waved their hand to make them quiet, and said, "This is our first harvest. I decided to give all the money to you!"

"We are given the money for selling five hundred kilograms of lobsters?!"

"Yes, you guys are assigned by yourself, and Smoke and Shaq are responsible."

Qin Shiou nodded with certainty and said. After the words came, the fishermen immediately ran over and grabbed him and carried him to his shoulders.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the light golden sunlight shone on the sea, on the faces of these fishermen who looked particularly rough due to the wind and rain, making them look particularly gentle.

After harvesting, Qin Shiou immediately directed the shrimp cage to move forward for more than ten kilometers and continue to put it into the sea. His goal this time was this group of migratory lobsters, four or five thousand were enough.

After receiving Qin Shiou's promise, the fishermen worked harder and respected him more.

Shak reminded: "Boss, we have already negotiated the profit distribution standards in advance. You don't have to pay so much money. The price we started to give is very reasonable."

Qin Shiou said I understand, it’s nothing to do with this. Just be happy.

Of course, he did this not only to be happy, but also to let these fishermen know that following him, Qin Shiou, can make a lot of money.

The harvest of his fishing ground will begin in the spring of this year. Qin Shiou now has only four fishermen, which is far from enough. Normally, the fishing ground owners will temporarily hire fishermen to work during the harvest period, which will save the most money and ensure efficiency.

Qin Shiou was not going to do this. He wanted to build a powerful fisherman team with Shaq and Nelson as the core.

The ten smoker people may not have the best physique and skills among fishermen, but Qin Shiou is interested in their hearts. These people are willing to help the town repair the church, and they are of good character, which is very precious.

This time when going out to sea, Qin Shiou would let ten people make a lot of money and then bind them to fishing boats. This is the case with capitalist society. You have to let your people make money with you so that they can win people's hearts.

Putting down the shrimp cage, Qin Shiou led the fishermen to continue working, and this time he caught haddock.

After the sky cleared, Qin Shiou found that there were many fishing boats on the sea, most of which were shrimp boats. He drove along the way, and he could not count forty boats!

"So many lobsters are catching?" Qin Shiou looked around with a telescope. There were many bulb floats of various sizes and shapes floating on the sea.

The smoker held the pipe in his mouth and said vaguely: "What's the big deal? The Gulf of St. Lawrence can produce 9,000 tons of lobsters every year! If it weren't for the storm that had raged the day before yesterday, all the ships would have stayed here, and there would be at least 200,000 shrimp cages in the Gulf of St. Lawrence!"

"So many?" Qin Shiou sucked in a cold air. There were only two hundred cages on his boat. According to the proportion, there must be more than a thousand shrimp boats on the Bay of St. Lawrence.

"There's no way, who made this thing valuable now?"

"Yes, when did lobsters become so expensive? They used to be for slaves, but at that time, as long as they could eat bread, no one would eat this."

"At that time, there was a law that in order to reflect the humanistic care for slaves, slaves could eat up to five tons a week. Haha, now we live in less than slaves." The group shook their heads with laughter.

Indeed, before the mid-19th century, Americans did not eat lobster. As for Canadians, Canadians did not pay attention to lobsters at that time.

It lasted until the mid-19th century, lobsters were food for the poor and people from the bottom of society. At that time, the army stipulated that soldiers could not eat lobster more than twice a week.

At that time, the most common prisoners in prison were eating lobsters. Eating lobsters with ferocious faces was regarded as a punishment for dishonest prisoners.

In addition, the only use of lobsters at that time was to be used as fertilizer and fish food. In the 20th century, Americans began to treat lobsters as food, but the treatment was very low and the price was cheaper than low-nutrition canned food.

Qin Shiou felt that the one who really revitalized the big lobster market may be Asians - not only Chinese, but also Japanese and Koreans have a special liking for this thing. Lobster sashimi has always been the top delicacy in Japanese cuisine. (To be continued)
