Chen Yuan brought out a few cans of beer and everyone opened them and clinked them.
The oysters and barnacles are also cooked.
The oysters and barnacles on the fish aggregator rope are all big and fat.
Some of the boiled oysters will naturally open their shells, and they will open if you crack them hard. But more oysters need to be pried open with a knife...
The milky white plump oyster meat is dipped in mustard and you can take a sip of ice-cold beer.
The rice is also cooked.
Chen Yuan took out the secret Chaotian pepper sauce, pried open some oysters, took out some barnacle meat, and mixed it with Chaotian pepper sauce to serve with rice.
These barnacles are big and fat, but to be honest, they don't have much meat. However, the barnacles are sweet and have a rich flavor, which is definitely the best among seafood.
"Give me some Chaotian pepper sauce." Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yuan handed over the sauce, and Zhou Sheng opened it and scooped out a spoonful, which he also used to mix with oysters and barnacles.
The same goes for Yang Xun: "This sauce is so delicious, it's fragrant, spicy and numb."
He Fei tasted an oyster meat with Chaotian pepper sauce, and took a deep breath: "What you are eating is too spicy, and it is very numb. How much Sichuan peppercorns did you put in it?"
"Not much." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "10 pounds of Chaotian pepper and half a pound of Sichuan peppercorns."
"It's so cruel. It's even more cruel than technology." He Fei was sweating profusely. Some were sweating from the heat, and it was particularly hot today.
"This is the best flavor." Zhou Sheng said, "The people who grow pepper in our hometown like to eat sesame."
Yang Xun also thought it was too numb, but it tasted very enjoyable: "Every place has different tastes. I think this sauce is very powerful."
"I still like the original flavor." He Fei said.
"You even like the original taste of pig intestines..."
"You just like the original flavor of pig intestines."
While eating and joking, the can of beer was quickly finished.
"Open another can," Zhou Sheng said.
"The last can." Chen Yuan said.
"The last can."
Chen Yuan took out four more cans, looked at the sky, and said, "The weather is going to change. Instead of going to the Nanhai Basin, go to Sanya."
"The ocean forecast didn't say there would be any major sea conditions?" He Fei said.
"The weather at sea is inherently changeable this season, so moving closer to Sanya is the way to go," Zhou Sheng said.
Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
After lunch, Chen Yuan and the others received a regional warning, predicting that the maximum wind force could reach level six...
With Category 6 winds, Category 5 sea conditions are very likely to occur.
Level 5 sea state, big waves, wave height 2.5-4 meters. At this time, tall wave crests begin to form, and there are larger white foam peaks everywhere, and sometimes droplets can be seen.
For people who often go to sea, level 5 sea conditions are not uncommon.
As far as Chen Yuan and his fishing boat are concerned, there is no danger in Level 5 sea conditions.
However, as an observer, there is no need to fight against such weather at sea. If level 6 sea conditions occur, it will be difficult to say.
After receiving the warning, Zhou Sheng looked at He Fei and the others: "How is it?"
"Awesome." He Fei said.
If we were to head to the Nanhai Basin according to the route planned in the morning, we would have to run at full speed when we receive the warning now.
Now slowly move towards Sanya. If the wind is too strong, go and take shelter from the wind and refuel. The price of oil on land is much cheaper than at sea.
The VHF radio station buzzed, and Chen Yuan adjusted the channel: "Hello?"
"Have you received the warning?" Lin Xinhai asked.
"Received." Chen Yuan said: "We are now only more than 90 nautical miles away from Sanya."
Lin Xinhai smiled: "Pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry."
"Did you see any schools of fish today?" Lin Xinhai said.
"How can it be so fast?"
"We'll set off the day after tomorrow. If we can go out and come back soon, that would be perfect."
"It's a beautiful thought."
As time passed, the sea began to surge.
The wind has also come.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the sea surface began to surge.
After dinner, He Fei and the others went back to sleep. The fishing boat was bumpy now, so He Fei and the others naturally woke up and climbed up from the sleeping cabin.
“How far is it from Sanya?”
"Seventy nautical miles." Chen Yuan said.
Just as he was talking, one day, big drops of water fell from the sky.
The pouring rain quickly turned into a downpour.
"Speed up your speed and get to Sanya before dark," Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yuan pushed the throttle lever. It was raining heavily and the visibility on the windshield was extremely low.
"This rain is too exaggerated." Chen Yuan said.
This fishing boat has no wipers, and the rainwater can be seen flowing through the windshield. The outside world is only vaguely visible now.
Chen Yuan switched the driving position and went outside the cabin to drive the fishing boat. There was a part extending from the top of the cabin, but it could not prevent the rain from coming from the side.
Zhou Sheng took out cigarettes and lit one for Chen Yuan.
This is an important waterway on the sea, and cargo ships often come and go.
The sea conditions today are actually not bad and will not affect the navigation of large ships.
If it is a serious sea state, it will not be discovered only a few hours in advance.
The fishing boat started running, with the sound of howling wind in my ears. On the turbulent sea surface, the fishing boat occasionally hit the waves, splashing waves several meters high.
This heavy rain came and went quickly.
As we get closer to Sanya, the wind and waves become lighter.
Chen Yuan drove the fishing boat into a shelter that could be temporarily anchored, and began to prepare dinner.
It's raining lightly here in Sanya.
Zhou Sheng and the others were cooking in the cabin. Chen Yuan went in to take a shower, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Yan Xiaoxi: "Have you finished eating?"
"Does your phone have signal?"
"Well. We've arrived in Sanya." Chen Yuan said.
"I saw the ocean forecast said heavy rain in Dongsha." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"We just came to Sanya to take shelter from the wind, take a rest for one night, and continue our journey tomorrow," Chen Yuandao said.
"Is Sanya beautiful? I haven't been to Sanya yet."
"This is also my first time coming to Sanya. It should be very beautiful. Let's come here to play in the future."
"Okay." Yan Xiaoxi sent a smile: "I thought it would take ten days or half a month before I can contact you."
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "When the fishing boat goes out to sea, there will be a satellite phone on the fishing boat. I will call you often."
"You can't use satellite phones on your boat?"
"able."
"Why not buy one."
"There are radio equipment on board. We are going out to sea in a fleet, not alone... There are satellite phones on the fishing boats, so there is no separate preparation."
"I think you should prepare a separate satellite phone later."
Chen Yuan was chatting on the phone with Yan Xiaoxi in the sleeping cabin. Zhou Sheng and the others prepared dinner and shouted, "Come out for dinner."
"What are you going to eat?" Chen Yuan smiled and walked out.
"Are you confused?" Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes.
In the evening, I ate fish meatballs, boiled oysters, barnacles, and braised fish.
Chen Yuan took a photo of the dinner and sent it to Yan Xiaoxi: "It's time to finish the meal."
"You had a great dinner."
"fine."
Zhou Sheng stood up and brought some liquor and a few stainless steel water glasses: "Have a good rest tonight, we will get down to business tomorrow."
Chen Yuan took the water glass from Zhou Sheng and said, "Hmm," "Fill it up for me."
"I can't drink much liquor, only two or three liang at most," He Fei said.
"Me too, two or three." Yang Xun said.
Zhou Sheng poured some less wine for them and said, "Don't drink too much wine, otherwise you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow morning." As Zhou Sheng said, he poured all the remaining wine into the water glass. It was not full, so he opened another bottle.
Looking at Chen Yuan: "How will the sea conditions be tomorrow?"
"The surge is bigger than usual, so it's no problem to go out to sea." Chen Yuan raised his cup, clinked it with everyone, then took an oyster, pried it open, and dipped it in Chaotian pepper sauce...
It's completely dark now.
Chen Yuan and the others drank wine and went back to the cabin early to sleep.
