Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

After going around in a circle, he figured out the ship's operating procedures even without Lidia's explanation.

Joey was pretty good. He didn't even get seasick. He took out two bottles of beer from somewhere and drank them while walking. When he saw Zhao Qin, he handed him another bottle and said, "Quench his thirst."

The temperature here is very suitable. Thanks to the speed of the boat, the sea breeze feels cool when blowing on me.

Fortunately, Zhao Qin added a light coat today.

After taking a sip of the beer, he pretended to be unintentional and asked: "What is the current purchase price for salmon?"

"The market is pretty good this year, about $1.3 per pound." Lidya answered.

I did some calculations in my mind and converted it into domestic currency and measurement units. One pound is about 11 yuan. Including fish heads, fish scales and fish offal, about % is removed.

In other words, the price of a pound of semi-finished products is about 15 yuan, which may not seem high, but once the dealer changes hands, it is almost unaffordable in China.

After a while, Kent called Lidya away through the ship's loudspeaker, and Zhao Qin and Joey started chatting.

"Don't take it too seriously. For Kent, his daughter is his life, not to mention that her daughter is so outstanding, so he is hostile to any man who tries or accidentally comes into contact with his daughter."

Joey explained with a smile.

Zhao Qin also smiled, "Aren't American parents more open-minded? They no longer care about their children after they are 18 years old."

"Half and half, maybe. There are still many people who live with their parents even if they are married."

After the topic was revealed, Joey also knew that he had invested in a fishing company, so he asked: "Are you planning to set up an acquisition outlet here?"

Zhao Qin did not deny it, "It's too difficult. I learned about it. Alaska is far away from the political center of the United States and is a bit like a country within a country, so I won't blindly move in."

"Sorry, there's only so much I can do to help."

"What's the matter? I'm very happy that you have this heart."

"Are you really leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I've been away from home for almost a month, and I feel like I feel like I'm returning home."

The two of them touched the bottle and drank the remaining beer in one gulp. Joey took the bottle away and the chat ended.

After almost half an hour, the speed of the boat slowed down, and Kent also walked out of the wheelhouse. He looked at the water in the distance with a telescope solemnly, and cursed in a low voice.

Then he shouted to everyone: "The net is off."

Following his order, two people walked to the back deck, one person unbolted the winch, and the other person threw the net head with a large buoy into the sea.

Based on the speed of the ship, Zhao Qin roughly deduced that the net was about two thousand meters long, and the lowering of the net lasted for more than ten minutes.

After tying the buoy at the end of the net and throwing it into the sea, the next step is to wait.

It can be understood from the floating net used that salmon are upper-level fish and live in groups, so as long as the fish hit the net, they can be clearly seen through the telescope on the boat.

It's now around 7 o'clock in the morning. Breakfast on the boat is ready. It's very simple, with a ham and omelette sandwich per person.

After eating and waiting for half an hour, we still didn’t see any fish hitting the net.

Kent's face, which had just been calm for a while, became irritable again, with the words "Keep strangers away" written in large letters.

The boatmen who were familiar with him were all silently reciting invisibility spells at this moment, hoping that Kent's fire would not reach their heads. However, some people could not see the situation clearly.

Joey came to Kent and laughed loudly: "Hey, man, stop bragging to me about your superb fishing skills. It seems that we won't be able to eat salmon today."

Okay, just blow it directly into your face. If you don’t open the pot, pick it up.

The next moment, Kent exploded, "Shit, son of a bitch, it's because of you that you came on board and brought bad luck to me."

Joey refused to give up, and then the quarrel between the two turned into swearing.

"Don't you want to advise me?" Zhao Qin looked at Lidya who looked like it had nothing to do with him.

"It's okay if you get used to it. You'll stop when you get tired of the noise."

He must have seen too much, Zhao Qin thought to himself, but he still said, "It's bad for the liver to be angry, so you'd better remind me."

Lidia sighed, then stepped forward and said: "Stop arguing, the two of them are a hundred years old together, why are they still like children?

Dad, Zhao said, anger hurts the liver, you have to change your temper. "

Kent was startled, and then became even more angry. The daughter he always loved actually used the words of outsiders to teach him a lesson?

So the flames of war inevitably burned in front of Zhao Qin, "You stinky boy, shut your stinky mouth. From now on, you and Lidya are not allowed to talk anymore.

He actually said that he was a fisherman and was as thin as a mast. Don't insult us fishermen. "

It's useless. No matter how fierce Kent scolds, Zhao Qin can't understand, so he still has a smile on his face.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Kent became even more angry and scolded him even more fiercely.

"What did your father say?" He walked up to Lidia and asked curiously.

Lydia didn't know whether or how to translate, but Kent told her to stay away, so she smiled awkwardly and walked away.

Zhao Qin turned his attention to Joey again, who organized the language and gave a simple translation.

The curse word disappeared after the translation. After hearing this, the smile on Zhao Qin's face became more and more prosperous. If Ah He was nearby and saw this smile, he would probably run away and play tricks. He was really angry. ah.

How dare you say that I am not a fisherman?

This sentence is what makes Zhao Qin angry. He goes to sea every day and relies on the sea to get where he is today. You actually say that I don't look like a fisherman?

Who said fishermen should be as rich and rough as you?

Who said fishermen should spray shit like you?

The few fishermen on your boat are just too honest. If it were one of those domestic ocean-going ships, with your temper, the crew would have been thrown out on the high seas to feed the fish.

"Tell him I want to make a bet with him."

It's one thing to understand Kent's character, but it's another thing to say whether you agree with his character without any bottom line.

After all, he couldn't slap someone on someone else's ship, but he should still teach this guy a lesson.

"Zhao, Kent said..., well, you are not qualified to bet with him."

Zhao Qin smiled slightly, "Just ask him if he doesn't dare?"

People with a short temper are the best. Sure enough, Kent became furious when he heard Joey's translator, "You say it."

"Now you can choose another place to set the net. Later, I will determine an area to set the net. How about there are more fish in the area than anyone else's choice?"

"bet."

"If you win, I will cover all the expenses for your trip today, but if I win, half of today's harvest will be mine, and you have to apologize to me."

"Haha, should I apologize to you?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"You... you..., okay, I'll just do what you said and tell you, you will definitely lose."

Kent said, then turned to Joey, "Tell your friends that I'm serious and don't try to cheat."

Without waiting for Joey to reply, he turned around and returned to the wheelhouse, probably to study the area where the next net should be lowered.
