fisherman legend

Chapter 155 Ready to Work!
Under the command of Zhuang Haiyang, the crab cages tied with floats and filled with bait were thrown into the sea on both sides of the fishing boat one after another by the crew.Zhou Yang, who was in charge of sailing the boat, also began to adjust the direction of the fishing boat according to Zhuang Haiyang's hand gestures.

Until all the crab pots were released, looking at the undulating floats behind them, the crew members were also looking forward to tomorrow's harvest.Now that night had fallen, Zhuang Haiyang returned to the cockpit and asked Zhou Yang to find a shelter from the wind.

The wind and waves on the sea at night are obviously much stronger than during the day.Fortunately, this kind of wind and waves are often encountered by fishing boats going out to sea, so naturally they don't feel anything to be afraid of.After dropping the anchor, Zhuang Haiyang also asked everyone to go to the room to rest.

If you can't sleep, you can stay in the lounge and play cards or something. Of course, gambling is not allowed.Entertainment is fine, but gambling is not. This is also the rule that Zhuang Haiyang emphasized before boarding the ship.

With the help of the satellite phone equipped on the ship, both Wang Yanming and Zhu Junhong had reported their safety to their wives. Knowing that the phone bills were expensive, they naturally wouldn't chat much.As long as it is confirmed that it is safe, I believe that my wife can also sleep soundly.

After finding the fishing rod that he had prepared when he boarded the boat, Zhuang Haiyang, who didn't want to go to bed so early, also began to look for a place to hook.Zhou Yang, who came out of the cockpit, also walked to Zhuang Haiyang with two bottles of frozen beer at the right time.

He handed the other party a bottle of beer and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to surf the net at night?"

"It's not necessary! They just went to sea, so let them rest for one night before we talk about it. If we really want to cast the net, we'll wait until we find a suitable place tomorrow. Anyway, we just went to sea, and there's plenty of time left. Why? Uncle Zhou is worried about the catch?"

Facing Zhuang Haiyang's question, Zhou Yang didn't hide anything: "If you don't worry, it must be a lie. Before you get off the net, no one knows what you can get. Many times, trawling is just luck.

But this time you are the fisherman, it is up to you to fight more or less, I just listen to you, the pressure is much less than before.Seeing your confident face, I think you must be confident, then I will wait to see you explode on the Internet. "

Unlike before when he hired someone to go to sea, he was responsible for his own profits and losses. Zhou Yang who went to sea this time only needs to do his job well.Even if the catch is not much, I believe that the wages Zhuang Haiyang promised to give them will not be small. In the end, Zhuang Haiyang, the fisherman, will pay the compensation.

Zhou Yang's worry could be heard from the words, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, don't you also say, how lucky am I?"

"Okay, then you fish slowly, I'll go talk to them!"

Zhou Yang, who did not disturb Zhuang Haiyang's fishing, quickly returned to the cabin.Although he is the captain, he is not the boss of the ship, so naturally he doesn't have to worry as much as before.This change of identity also gave Zhou Yang a feeling of regaining his youth.

Once upon a time, before he got married, he also ran a boat with others.Ever since I became the boss of the ship, I always feel that every time I go to sea, I have endless worries.Now that he is a member of the crew again, he feels much more relaxed.

Picking up the hook that had been put down, just as he was about to hang the bait, a voice came from behind him: "Uh, did the fish run away?"

"Squad leader, haven't you played cards?"

"Not interested! How is it? Are you confident?"

Regarding Wang Yanming's concern, Zhuang Haiyang also said helplessly: "Squad leader, do you have no confidence in me? Rest at ease, I promise that when we return to Hong Kong in two days, the cabin will be full of fish and crabs, how about it?"

"Hey, I'm not worried about you losing money! I heard Brother Zhou say that the fishing boats that have been sailing far seas in recent years have earned less and paid more! If they come here and still lose money, then we might as well stay near home to fight. fishing!"

"Squad leader, we must have the spirit of the army. Back then, we were called the offshore navy by others, but now we are qualified to be called the ocean navy. Although we can make money by fishing near our hometown, we are not so young. Should it be a struggle?

If you really come to your girl to study, or if you have a second child, the family affairs alone will keep you busy.At that time, if you want to fight again, you probably won't have the energy.Don't worry, I know what's going on. "

"Well, you are more experienced than us in fishing. If there is any difficulty, don't worry about it. We are comrades-in-arms and more brothers!"

"Success! I remember this!"

Chatted with Wang Yanming for a few words, looked at Wang Yanming who turned back to the cabin, and Zhuang Haiyang who threw the hook into the sea again, laughed at himself and said: "It seems that I am a fisherman, and I have shortcomings that are convincing. I think I'm unreliable because of my record!"

Knowing that Zhou Yang and Wang Yanming were also out of concern for themselves, they came here to have a chat with themselves, hoping to ease the pressure of being the fisherman's boss for the first time.But for Zhuang Haiyang, he has fart pressure!

Letting out a suffocating breath, Zhuang Haiyang grinned as he looked at the suddenly sinking float, "Meet!"

Pull the fishing line quickly, and pull the sea fish that ate the bait first out of the water.Looking at the sea fish struggling on the hook, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said: "It's not bad! It's not a loss to exchange a shrimp for a black sea bream that weighs more than a catty, right?"

Through fishing, Zhuang Haiyang is more sure of the attraction of sea pearl water to marine life.Since it is attractive, there is no need to worry about the harvest of this trip to sea.Waiting for tomorrow, all worries will be dispelled.

After catching more than a dozen sea fish of various sizes, Zhuang Haiyang looked at the time and took the hook back directly to the cabin.Looking at the crew members who were still playing cards, he also smiled and said, "It's not early, we have to get up early tomorrow, so hurry up and rest!"

"Well, okay! How's the harvest?"

"It's not bad! I haven't lost my fishing skills yet! Hongjie, throw those groupers into the water tank first and keep the other fish for lunch tomorrow. If the food is better, it will probably be very hard these two days."

"Succeed! Hey, this black eagle is not small, does it really eat by itself?"

"What? I don't feel bad, but you still feel bad? Groupers are raised, and those things are expensive, so forget about black snappers!"

Wild grouper has always been a sought-after item in the fishing market, as long as it is alive, it has never been worried about selling it.In contrast, for other seafood, seafood that is too popular can hardly be sold at a high price.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and Zhuang Haiyang also felt in a good mood after fishing a few rods and earning hundreds of dollars.After arranging the people on duty for the night, the rest of the crew simply washed up and returned to the cabin to rest.In the rickety cabin, it must be difficult to sleep soundly.

Fortunately, most of the old crew members invited, as well as comrades like Zhuang Haiyang, are more accustomed to life on board.For Zhuang Haiyang and his comrades-in-arms, even if they haven't slept on the boat for a few years, they won't suffer from insomnia.

Because of the exclusive cabin, Zhuang Haiyang does not have to sleep with the crew.Back in the cabin, Zhuang Haiyang didn't rest at all. He looked at the real-time weather forecast and the intensity of wind and waves that might appear in the nearby sea.

Feeling that there was no problem, Zhuang Haiyang began to sit cross-legged in the lounge and continued his daily practice.Because the lights of the fishing boats are on, there is no need to worry about other boats approaching and not being able to find them.Moreover, the fishing boat also has an anti-collision alarm.

Once the siren sounds, it means that a vessel is approaching the fishing boat and a collision danger is likely to be detected.This kind of alarm device can also be regarded as an early warning device to some extent.To avoid someone sneaking onto the boat, the people on board don't even know about it.

Although the fishing boat shakes a lot at night, Zhuang Haiyang, who can sit cross-legged in the lounge, still sits firmly on the ground.When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was not much time before dawn, so he walked out of the cabin and began to wash.

Wu Zhipeng, a comrade-in-arms who was on duty in the cab, was also very surprised when he saw Zhuang Haiyang coming in, "Why do you get up so early?"

"I'm used to it! I used to get up early on the island because I had to go to sea early. How is it? Do you feel tired?"

"It's okay! Don't tell me, after leaving the army for so long, you suddenly have to stand guard at night again, which feels unique!"

Standing guard is also commonplace in the army.For comrades like Wu Zhipeng, after retiring from the army, they could no longer experience the depressing feeling of being woken up by changing guards after sleeping soundly.But now, I find it very interesting.

Hearing what Wu Zhipeng said, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Yeah! Only when you leave the army do you know how good the army is. I used to hate being on the night watch the most, but now I have no chance to experience it. This man! Sometimes he is a scumbag. !"

Chatting with Wu Zhipeng for a while, I originally wanted to persuade him to go to sleep again, but Wu Zhipeng shook his head directly and said: "Forget it, I rested very early last night. I am in good spirits! I won't delay work!"

"That's fine! After lunch, we'll take a nap to catch up on sleep. Let's go to sea, so we don't need to work so hard!"

"You are the boss of the ship, you have the final say!"

He replied to Zhuang Haiyang with a smile, and Wu Zhipeng chatted with him for a while.When Zhuang Haiyang came to the deck to move his body, the originally dark sea level began to brighten.The people who were still resting got up one after another to prepare for work.

Zhou Hongjie, who came early, was still making breakfast very diligently.I have to get up from the crab cage next morning, eat some breakfast to replenish my strength, and then I will have strength after working.When I do something at night, I have to prepare supper!
Eating seafood noodles with boiled eggs, everyone said with satisfaction: "The noodles are cooked well, and the eggs are delicious!"

"That's right! You forgot, this egg is five yuan each, two per person, ten yuan to eat!"

"That's right! It's not eggs, it's money! No wonder it's so delicious!"

Listening to the chatter of the crew members, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "We are full, and we have to work too. Next time Uncle Zhou will be in charge of sailing the boat, and the cranes will cooperate in pairs, and the others will cooperate in picking crabs. Note Stop, throw all the small ones back into the sea."

"to make!"

"Then pack up and get ready to work!"

Following Zhuang Haiyang's speech, everyone began to divide the work.The crew responsible for opening the crane is also a mix of old and new.Others waited for the pots to be hoisted onto the boat and then sorted the crabs.In addition to picking out suitable commercial crabs, the crabs must also be classified.

After all, there must be more than one kind of crab that got into the cage, and it may even get into other miscellaneous fish and seafood.As long as it can be eaten and sold, it will be sorted out and thrown into the water tank that is being oxygenated.

As the boss of the boat, Zhuang Haiyang is in charge of throwing the hook and pulling the crab cage.Compared with my own small fishing boat, the side of the big boat is higher, and I can't catch the buoy with my hands. I can only throw the hook to hook the rope tied to the buoy, and then pull it aboard.
