Carry an aquarium with you

Chapter 187 Return to Hong Kong Delivery and Rental Quota
The crab cages in several places were salvaged, basically they were female crabs and young male crabs. The boatmen were very helpless. Obviously, they came to the baby area.

Instead, they caught a few flounder, which can be added to their meals.

There was a lot of wailing on the boat. Crab fishing is a race against time. The longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be to catch later.

Just as Sickert was about to go to other sea areas, Qin Feng's voice came from the cab.

What he said was not clear, it was just a simple invitation.

But Sickert understands that only when a large number of king crabs are caught, the other party will invite.

This is the agreement of the three of them, if the number of crabs is average, then take care of yourself first.

Immediately, he heard the nine-digit number reported by Qin Feng. He picked up a paper and wrote it down, and then removed the false digits to get the correct coordinates.

Sickert entered the coordinates to check, and found that it was not too far from his side, and only needed two hours of sailing time, so he immediately sailed there.

Aldridge was a little bit tangled, the place he found could be self-sufficient, it would be a pity to waste it.

"Qin, my harvest here is not bad, why don't I go?"

He is testing it out. If Qin Feng invites him again, it means that there are surprisingly many crabs over there, and he will naturally give up this place and go there.

"Aldrich, as a novice captain, I may make some small mistakes, so I need your help."

As soon as these words came out, Aldrich naturally understood what Qin Feng meant, so he stopped hesitating, explained to the boatmen, pulled up all the test cages, entered the coordinates, and sailed over.

In fact, the countermeasures discussed by the three were correct. At this time, several captains did eavesdrop on the conversation between them.

Among them are Keith, the captain of the Wizard, and Anderson the Legend.

Keith and Aldrich were old friends. He couldn't find the crab group. Seeing that Aldrich was about to leave, he directly asked where the crabs were caught, wanting to share one.

Aldrich didn't tell him the coordinates of Qin Feng's side, but as an old friend, he still told him his secret location and told him about how many catches there would be.

When Keith heard this, he thanked him happily, and then immediately sailed over.

As for Anderson, he knew very well that Sigel and Aldrich would not tell him the coordinates of Qin Feng's side, and he just heard where Aldrich was now, so he immediately sailed there.

Keith is also a person who loves to share. When he saw the Legend coming, he did not refuse to drive away the other party, but shared the crabbing place with the other party.

On the other side, Qin Feng has already put away 32 crab cages. Not only was each crab cage full, but when it was salvaged, there were still many stowaways outside the crab cages.

Paul even danced the Alaskan crab dance with two novices, which was very funny.

He salvaged a crab cage. After dumping the crabs inside on the sorting table, he would put the crab cage down on the spot. When he gets up again tomorrow, he can return to the voyage to sell the crabs.

After a while, the Northwest arrived here first.

"Wow, Qin found a mountain of crabs!" Sicker happened to see a crab cage salvaged from the Dongfang Julong, and even the outside of the crab cage was covered with king crabs. Such a scene made him, the old captain Can't help being surprised.

The boatmen on board also saw this scene, and everyone cheered and looked extremely excited.

After all, if the opponent can catch so many king crabs, their harvest will not be bad.

Qin Feng also saw the Northwest at this meeting, and contacted Sickert immediately, telling him that he could release the crab pots according to the route he put in, and seize the time to catch the quota and go to the Bering Sea.

Sickert already knew the number of crabs here, so he no longer hesitated, and began to order the boatman to put in the crab pots.

Qin Feng's harvest this time should exceed [-] tons. He is still hesitating whether he should rent some quota to continue fishing here or return to Hong Kong to sell the crabs and go directly to the Bering Sea.

So he asked Sickert for his advice.

Sickert has helped many young people, but Qin Feng gave him a different feeling from the people he helped before.

Like Anderson, the structure is small and he only cares about his immediate interests, so the two broke up.

Although some young people in the past were good, others only thanked them verbally.

He has never met someone like Qin Feng who can give gifts and is willing to share crabs.

He felt very comfortable getting along with this foreign young man, and felt that his help during this period was correct.

Therefore, he was more concerned about Qin Feng's questions than before.

"Qin, after selling the red crabs, you should go directly to the Bering Sea to catch blue crabs and snow crabs. The red crabs in the southeast waters of Alaska have strict fishing standards. You cannot catch more crabs than the quota. If you exceed the quota, you will face fines."

"And now that you have gone to sea, there will be no quota for you to rent, so you have to control the amount you catch."

"However, the number of ships that can reach the crabbing places in the Bering Sea will be reduced by at least half, and the rental quota will be much larger. In addition to the difficulty of fishing, the rent will also be greatly reduced. This is why all captains want to quickly catch red crabs. Quotas, and then the main reason to go to the Bering Sea first.”

Ten years ago, Siegel spent a week in the Bering Sea, caught more than 270 tons of king crabs, and sold 300 million greenbacks.

The quota at that time was only more than 100 tons, but after paying the rent and wages, he still earned 200 million green notes, so what he gave was the best suggestion for Qin Feng.

"Okay, I see, thank you Captain Sickert!"

"Haha, Qin, you don't have to be so polite, I'm glad I can help you." Sickert smiled heartily.

When both sides were working hard, Aldridge's White Wind also arrived, and he stopped the boat to observe for a while. He saw that Qin Feng had indeed harvested a lot. After confirming that the crab group underneath was very large, he began to let the boatmen release the crabs. cage.

Compared with Sickert on the Northwest, he has more emotion about Qin Feng's luck.

Don't look at the flood of king crabs, but the sea is so vast, it is really not easy to find crabs, otherwise Anderson wouldn't need to take advantage of others every time he went to sea.

He has been working on this ocean for more than ten years, and Sigel is even more exaggerated, and it has been nearly 30 years now.

But they can't find crabs every time they go out to sea, and more experience accumulated after years of work helps them find them faster.

But in the eyes of Aldrich, Qin Feng is an out-and-out novice.

He is even more unfamiliar with the waters of Alaska, but he took the White Wind for the first time, and he was lucky enough to help them find the densely populated crab population.

As soon as he went out to sea this time, he found a very large group of crabs again, so in his eyes, Qin Feng was a lucky person favored by the crab god.

It takes eight hours to put the crab pots in, and eighteen hours to salvage and sort the crabs.

Originally, Qin Feng asked King Squid to find the next crab location to prepare for the future.

But after listening to Sickert's suggestion today, he planned to go directly to the Bering Sea after the goods were sold.

So he used his telepathic connection to divert the king squid and went directly to the Bering Sea to find the blue crab.

When all the crab cages here were salvaged, it was already five o'clock in the morning. Qin Feng asked the boatman to take a shower and change clothes, while he went to prepare breakfast.

However, he first looked at the total weight of king crabs counted today, and he did not expect that it was much more than he expected, reaching 76 tons.

Among them, the largest king crab reached 22 catties. After the crab legs were straightened, the length reached more than [-] meters, which was super large.

But he has seen the [-]-jin king crab before, so he doesn't have much feeling for this king crab.

Instead, he took the king crab to the kitchen and steamed it, and made some western breakfast by the way.

"Everyone has worked hard, come and taste our delicious red crab."

Paul smiled and said, "Qin, you are so generous. This king crab is estimated to sell for more than 150 (green notes)."

Of course, what he said was the price sold to the purchaser, not the market retail price.

Even though the local king crab in Alaska is very cheap, the retail price of this king crab can still be sold for more than 300 green notes, more than 2000 RMB.

As for shipping to China, this king crab can sell for at least five or six thousand.

After Qin Feng heard this, he just smiled, and then happily tasted the king crab that had just been fished from the sea.

Such a big king crab, if he wanted it, he could grow dozens of tons in a few days. Compared with the king crab, it was really not rare.

Qin Feng cut off a crab leg with scissors, took out a large lump of meat inside, and bit it down, feeling a sense of happiness immediately.

It's no wonder both king crab and king crab are so expensive, because they are big and delicious.

Sleeping during the day and getting up to work at night, Qin Feng still has something to do before lying on the bed.

But this time he didn't screen the little male and female crabs, but threw the half-grown little king crabs back into the sea.

Now that I have decided to go to the Bering Sea immediately, red crabs will definitely not be caught again, so I need to pick some and put them in the water tank to take home and sell them.

The red crab is the largest of all king crabs, and the price is basically the highest, occasionally surpassed by the blue crab.

So he decided to collect all the red crabs in the space in the tank, and forget about the blue crabs and red-eyed pine leaf crabs, and let Qin Lei help transport a batch to his aquatic product store.

The largest male crab in the two hundred crab cages was collected into the water tank, and he didn't rest until it was full of ten tons.

This time, I slept until six o'clock in the evening before getting up.

Walking into the kitchen, Qin Feng did not expect that Melton had already prepared dinner, and the boatmen were already sitting together to eat.

"Yo, you are so early, don't you have a rest?"

Paul smiled and replied: "Qin, to be honest, this job of crabbing is the most relaxing job I have done in so many years. Under normal circumstances, there will be two captains of the crabbing boat, and they will take turns changing shifts 24 hours a day. We catch crabs The same is true for the boatmen, so it will be very tiring."

"But you only have one person. We don't work long hours, and we don't need to change shifts. More people work together faster, so there is enough rest time."

So it turned out that Qin Feng thought of the situation on the White Wind at that time, and there were indeed two missing people on the deck during work, so they went to rest and change shifts.

There is also a deputy captain on the White Wind, but that time because Qin Feng helped sail the ship, the deputy captain did some chores, such as cooking.

But he really doesn't need a deputy captain. After all, he has pets looking for crabs, so he doesn't need to race against time like other crabbing boats.

After dinner, rested and digested for a while, the Oriental Dragon started working again.

Today, because there is no screening, the number of king crabs that meet the specifications is a little less, and there are about [-] or [-] king crabs in a cage.

However, the two hundred crab pots were collected, and the quota was just full.

It was already noon, Qin Feng and the boatmen ate, and didn't care about rest. After bidding farewell to Sigor Aldrich and the others, they sailed directly back to Dutch Harbor to deliver the goods.

By the way, I picked up the satellite phone and called Qin Lei: "Qin Lei, my quota of red crabs here is full, so hurry up and get ready to receive the goods."

"What! It's full? Don't be funny, it's only been a few days, and some boats are still looking for crabs!" Qin Lei was shocked, and immediately felt that Qin Feng was teasing him, and he didn't believe it at all.

Qin Feng was a little helpless: "I'm not kidding. I didn't sleep all night and sailed back to the port. How could I be in the mood to joke with you? I have to go to the Bering Sea after delivering the goods. You should also hurry up. By the way, let Anna rent Quotas for some blue crabs and red-eyed pine leaf crabs, since we're all here, let's get some more crabs back."

When it came to this point, Qin Lei had to believe it if he didn't believe it. He expressed his understanding, and immediately started making preparations after hanging up the phone, and at the same time prepared funds to pay the bill, otherwise Qin Feng would have no money to pay wages and replenish supplies.

By the way, he told Anna his request and asked her to rent some quota.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Oriental Dragon, as the first crabbing boat to catch the full quota, successfully returned to Dutch Harbor.

Qin Lei's side has already made preparations, and the boatman helped unload the cargo together.

It takes at least one day to unload the 120-ton king crab, so Qin Feng went to sleep first, and then replenished the supplies and oil on board after waking up.

Under normal circumstances, the captain must keep an eye on the crabs when they are delivered to avoid cheating by the purchaser.

But the relationship between Qin Feng and Qin Lei is there, so there is no need to think so much.

The delivery took 22 hours and included two tons of dead crab and missing legs.

Now the price of red crabs is 110 catties (green notes), 23 tons of red crabs, which is [-] catties.

The total price is 180 million green notes, and there is a fraction of [-].

As for two tons of dead crabs and lame crabs, they can be sold, but they can only be sold at a low price, [-] yuan a catty, and [-] yuan.

Crabs within the quota do not need to pay taxes, but the dividends of the boatmen have reached 3%, and each person can get more than 5000 green notes. In addition to the big red envelope that Qin Feng promised to give before, he gave [-] green notes to each of them. money.

So Qin Feng's income this time is 140 yuan, converted into RMB, just over 1000 million.

It took a total of five days to go to sea and unload the cargo this time, and it was 1000 million in five days. No wonder so many people want to catch king crabs, which is simply a huge profit.

The boatmen who got the money were very happy, and a few of them even said that they would hang out with Qin Feng in the future.

The two veteran crabbers introduced by Sickert also completely changed their attitudes and brought him a little respect.

For crabbers, it doesn't matter whether the new captain or the old captain, as long as he can lead them to make money, he is a good captain.

After Qin Feng's side got ready, Anna also came with good news.

This time, she rented a quota of 20 tons of blue crabs, and the rent was [-]%, which was already the lowest price.

The red-eye pine leaf crab is more difficult to catch, so the rent is lower, only 15%. Anna even rented a quota of 250 tons.

So now the Qinfeng blue crab quota is 120 tons, and the total is 220 tons.

There was originally a quota of 160 tons for red-eyed pine leaf crabs. Adding this 250 tons, it will be 410 tons.

The maximum storage capacity of his crabbing boat is 240 tons, so this trip to the Bering Sea had to go back and forth twice.

And he has to catch his quota as quickly as possible, so the longer the delay, the colder the weather and the harsher the Arctic Circle environment will be.

At that time, you may still be able to persist in crabbing when you encounter a storm, but if you encounter a large piece of ice floe, you will really have no choice.

Moreover, when the weather is cold, the accumulated water on the deck will freeze, which will bring great trouble to the work.

Qin Feng called the boatmen and told them the total quota this time, saying that the work will be very hard this time, and I hope they can persevere.

Originally, he was a little worried that these freedom-loving foreigners would treat work negatively because they got money, and would have opinions on the next high-intensity work.

Unexpectedly, instead, they hugged Qin Feng warmly, expressing that they would work hard.

Only then did Qin Feng realize that no matter what country people are in, they don't have opinions on money.

Starting again, he began to head towards the position of the king squid.

This time Qin Feng won't pick crabs, just catch them.

King Squid has already found a small group of blue crabs, but he still chooses to go there.

Now all the crabbing boats are fishing for red crabs, and it is estimated that it will take a few days before they come to catch blue crabs, so there is no need to be too anxious.

After traveling for ten hours, the Oriental Dragon arrived at the location of the King Squid.

And it continued to look for the location of the next blue crab. After all, it is estimated that this small crab group can only catch dozens of tons.

"Boom~"

"Da da da da da."

The bow of the ship collided with the huge wave, and the huge wave was directly crushed, and then the scattered water droplets were blown to the window of the pilothouse by the sea wind, making a series of crashing sounds.

The wind and waves in the Bering Sea are not at the same level as the previous southeast waters.

Even the 43-meter-long ship Dongfang Julong is still like a helpless small boat on the waves, as if it will capsize at any time.

Fortunately, Qin Feng has experienced the storms in Antarctica before, so his mentality can be stabilized.

As for the boatmen, they were very calm. This kind of wind and waves was still small for them. Melton and Paul, veteran crabbers, had even worked in arctic stormy weather, and now it was not even a small scene.

According to the scope of the crab swarm, Qin Feng made a plan to release the crab pots on the terrain screen.

The boatmen are preparing the bait, and after the work on both sides is completed, they start to release the crab pots.
