A few minutes later, the Xinhai released the fishing net and used the inertia of the fishing boat to get closer to the Shengyuan.
Chen Yuan is still quite afraid of the Xinhai, such a big ship, if someone doesn't control it well and crashes into it...
The two ships came together.
Zhou Sheng quickly handed over Kuo Gang and Pao Gang: "Faster."
It was busy aboard the Xinhai.
Chen Yuan turned the bow of the boat and pointed the butt of the boat at the net hoop. There was a biological signal in the net hoop: "The fish has not escaped, hurry up and tighten the net hoop."
"It's collecting, don't get excited."
"There are big fish inside." Zhou Sheng said: "Hurry up, don't let the fish escape from the bottom circle again."
"rest assured."
The new skeletal winch makes it easy to recycle the skein and pull the lower skein out of the water along with it.
"How about it, perfect." Lin Xinhai felt a little proud when he saw that Kuo Gangji had withstood the test.
"It's okay. Let's start collecting the net gear."
"Don't be anxious, take your time." Lin Xinhai used the wireless station to contact Lin Xinmin: "Brother, have you put yours away?"
"Still catching fish."
"How much?"
"It's okay. There are brown plum bream in it, and the number is quite impressive."
"How many?" Luo Laosi asked: "I'm starting to catch fish here, but your speed is not good enough."
"You are awesome. If you use two assault boats to assist in lowering the net, come over and give it a try."
Luo Laosi laughed loudly: "Brother Xinmin, you can't do it either, the speed is so slow. I'm already catching fish."
"Man, what are you doing so quickly?"
Xinhai began to collect the net gear.
The net gear can only be recovered after the net is out of the water.
From the rear end of the net, use the power pulley to retract the net in sequence. For a fishing net of more than 1,000 meters, it will take some time to retract the net.
After more than an hour, the net gear was reduced to a suitable extent, and all the fish gathered at the fish collection section and began to collect the catch.
In addition to tuna, there are other fish caught in this net.
When the first fish came out of the water and saw that it was tuna, the workers on the boat cheered.
Lin Xinhai waved his fist vigorously, held the walkie-talkie and said: "Well done."
Today is November 6th.
It has been more than 20 days since I came out, and today I have gained the most from this net.
I have never been able to find a big school of fish. But I caught a lot of small fish...
When Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng came out this time, they planned to get a share of 6 million. But now, half of the expected amount has not been reached.
The quantity of tuna in this net today is not particularly large, but it is valuable, estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands to one million.
The Xinhai No. had upgraded its equipment and it was different. The fish caught in the net were collected quickly.
Chen Yuan went to the Xinhai: "How much can I get:"
"119 tuna." Lin Xinhai chuckled: "There are also hundreds of kilograms of miscellaneous fish."
"good."
Chen Yuan saw his busy father and shouted: "Dad."
Father Chen smiled and nodded: "Come on, let's build a big tuna school."
"Come on, work hard." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"My boat is finally open for business." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan: "Look around here again to see if there are any tuna."
Chen Yuan looked at the trawler still wandering not far away: "There are so many fishing boats, find another place. How many fish have been sold in total now?"
"Is this Luo Laosi's?"
"Together."
"The total amount is 910,000 yuan, and the valuable fish catch is not sold. With Luo Laosi accompanying me, it is quite comfortable."
Lin Xinhai's two fishing boats.
The tuna net carried by the Xinhai is too small to be worth catching.
The Lixia is an auxiliary ship and can launch the net very quickly, but the net collection is too slow.
Chen Yuan and the others were specifically looking for fish. There were still a lot of fish in Nansha, but there were very few fish in large groups.
Luo Laosi followed, and the fish that Chen Yuan and the others couldn't catch were handed over to Luo Laosi and his fishing boats. It was agreed that 60% of the profits would belong to Chen Yuan and his friends.
If Luo Laosi and the others were looking for fish by themselves, it would usually take them two or three days to get a net. But with Chen Yuan and the others, they could basically get a net every day.
Chen Yuan and the others have remote sensing fish detectors and use drones for high-altitude reconnaissance. The search range is much larger than the fish detectors carried by fishing boats.
It was evening when the fishing nets were retrieved.
Chen Yuan studied the charts in the bridge, and Lin Xinhai contacted Lin Xinmin and Luo Laosi.
"Have you recovered your fishing nets?"
"Took it back." Luo Laosi said: "My net is good, and I caught a lot of valuable fish. Where can we meet at night?"
"Wait a minute, Chen Yuan is still thinking about where to find fish tomorrow." Lin Xinhai said.
"My fishing nets haven't been recovered yet," Lin Xinmin said.
"Your efficiency is too high. If you go out to eat shit, you won't be able to keep up with the hot stuff." Luo Laosi laughed.
"Do you want to eat it or not? I'll pull a warm ball out for you."
"Aren't you two disgusting?" Lin Xinhai covered his forehead with one hand: "Brother, how many fish are there in the freezer?"
"After we meet up in the evening, the fish caught on your boat will be brought over, which can almost fill cabin No. 1." Lin Xinmin said.
"The harvest this time is not good." Lin Xinhai pretended to be melancholy.
"Call Yuan Zai, Sheng Zai, Lin Xinhai said again that you can't do it." Luo Laosi said.
After a while, Zhou Sheng's voice came from the microphone: "Now I have to ask another handsome boy. Chen Yuan, master said we can't do it, what should we do?"
"Fry him two kilograms of liquor in the evening." Chen Yuan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "How about we meet at Changli Reef and try our luck there."
"OK."
"Have you put away your net gear? Do you want me to go over and help you?"
Lin Xinmin said: "I'm collecting the net gear here, what can you do to help me? I'm still collecting it."
"I'll go over and cheer you on."
Dinner is ready on the Xinhai.
Zhou Sheng and others also climbed onto the boat.
"Eating fish again, almost making me vomit." Zhou Sheng complained.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Would you like to have hot pot tomorrow?" Zhou Sheng winked and said with a smile, "The bean sprouts on our ship can be harvested tomorrow."
"Okay. Tomorrow night, let's see if we can catch a big grouper on the reef and make hot pot to eat." Lin Xinhai said.
"No more beef?"
"We've finished our meal. We'll buy some beef when we meet the supply ship." Lin Xinhai was eating the fish chowder and suddenly felt that it had no taste: "Beef at sea is so expensive."
"I told you before going to sea that you should bring more beef."
There are many fishing boats in Nansha, and there are oil tankers in this area that are dedicated to refueling fishing boats. These oil tankers serve as offshore supply stations for fishing boats. In addition to refueling, they can also sell various supplies.
Zhou Sheng was very depressed staying on the Shengyuan during this period.
Not only Zhou Sheng, He Fei and Yang Xun, they all became reticent and silent now.
The cabin space of the Shengyuan is too small and it is very uncomfortable to stay on it.
After dinner, it was already dark.
Chen Yuan and the others returned to the fishing boat.
Chen Yuan was driving the boat, and Zhou Sheng and the others were lying on the deck chairs on the back deck, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Today is the beginning of winter, the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar." Chen Yuan turned to look at Zhou Sheng.
"I'm just wondering why the moon is so bright tonight." Zhou Sheng chuckled.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Under the moonlight, you can see the clouds in the sky.
The fishing boat ran slowly and leisurely, bumping occasionally with the waves.
"When can we go back on this trip?" He Fei.
"It's still early." Chen Yuan took out a cigarette, lit one, and threw the rest to He Fei.
After this trip, Chen Yuan and the others' goal was to guarantee a profit of 10 million, but they are still far away. It is estimated that they have only achieved one-third of the goal.
At the very least, the money for the Yuanxing fishing boat must be earned back.
There are the most fish in the first month after the sea opens, and then there will be fewer and fewer fish.
On the Nansha side, a large number of fishing boats are estimated to have left in the middle of the month. Without fish, the longer they stay at sea, the greater their losses will be.
After nine o'clock, Chen Yuan and the others arrived at the agreed sea area.
Zhou Sheng brought out the beer and said, "Would you like to make a small hot pot?"
"It's hot." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Save the bean sprouts for tomorrow."
There is also a squid and some deep-sea rockfish in the refrigerator.
Shi Jiugong, Chen Yuan’s favorite, makes delicious fish soup.
Zhou Sheng took out a piece of hot pot base and some dried chili peppers.
He Fei, Yang Xun and the others joined hands to deal with Shi Jiugong and Squid.
Originally, it was just a small stove for them, but Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan with a telescope and picked up the walkie-talkie: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
"Making hot pot, do you want to come over?" Zhou Sheng held the walkie-talkie.
"What hot pot are you cooking?" Luo Laosi's fishing boat was already very close, just enough to receive the signal from the walkie-talkie.
"There are a few Shi Jiugong and a squid. Do you have any bean sprouts on the boat? Bring some over."
"Yes, wait. I got some beautiful shrimps and crabs from this website this afternoon. They are waiting for me to come over and cook them together." Luo Laosi.
"Come and pick me up." Lin Xinhai said, "Have a few drinks."
Chen Yuan drove the boat to the Xinhai and picked up Lin Xinhai, his father and Zhou He.
Luo Laosi was getting closer, that is, ten minutes later, Chen Yuan went over to pick them up.
Lin Xinmin is still behind. If he comes over, it will be almost eleven o'clock.
Luo Laosi carried a large bag of tiger shrimps and crabs. In the other hand, he carried a bag of bean sprouts...
These tiger shrimps are all beautiful, as thick as a wrist, and there are more than a dozen of them.
The hot pot has been boiled and exudes an attractive aroma.
Luo Laosi picked up the tiger shrimp and threw it directly into the hot pot: "Red soup?"
"Chen Yuan and the others are from Sichuan." Lin Xinhai said, "Can you eat spicy food?"
"I...should be okay."
He Fei chuckled beside him: "Uncle Luo, please don't brag."
"Why do you look down on people? Do you want us to have a bowl of hot pot soup?"
Chen Yuan smiled and threw some bean sprouts into it: "Are you so cruel? If you don't agree, the soup base will be dry."
"I, Luo Si, don't dare to do anything."
He Fei kept smiling. When the bean sprouts were almost boiled, He Fei gave Luo Laosi some bean sprouts and said, "Eat."
He Fei couldn't eat spicy food before, and his mouth swelled several times because of eating hot pot with Chen Yuan and the others.
But now He Fei can also eat spicy food.
On board the Shengyuan, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng could be said to have a lot of fun together. They were together every day, even if He Fei didn't know how to eat spicy food.
