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

Lidia witnessed the bet agreement and saw her father returning to the wheelhouse. She walked up to Zhao Qin and apologized.

"Zhao, don't be angry with my father. He is too strong. Don't worry, even if you lose, you won't have to pay for the trip to sea."

"Don't say that. It will make me embarrassed to ask for it even if I win the bet. It's okay. I just want to let your dad know that there is a better world."

"It seems that you are also a braggart." Lidia rolled her eyes, then turned and entered the wheelhouse.

"Dad, do you really want to compete with him?"

"Of course, he has already issued a challenge. Do you want me to back down? Don't worry, I have my own fishing ground."

Kent marked the coordinates and shouted outside, "Everyone is dead? Hurry up and close the net."

After shouting, he and Lidya also walked out.

There are no idlers on board, everyone has their own job, just like now,

Three boatmen stood on both sides of the net, holding a short-handled hook in their hands. Obviously this was a tool they used to untie fish.

After the net head is fished out and the winch is hung, the net collection officially begins. Lidia's job is to ensure that the fishing net can be evenly wrapped around the winch, which is relatively easy.

Although no fish were seen hitting the net, a few fish were caught sporadically, each weighing about five or six kilograms.

They untied the fish very quickly. They first shook the net, which was a two-layer net. It was very easy to shake. Then they found the layer where the fish was stuck, hooked it to the lower jaw of the fish, and pulled it along, and one fish was caught. Solved it,

Throw the fish to the side, and next to it is a structure similar to a water tank. The fish thrown up will automatically slide to the warehouse.

Zhao Qin was immediately interested when he saw this. This launder could save a lot of time, but after a moment he gave up the plan of copying.

If you only catch one kind of fish, such a flow chute can indeed save a lot of transportation time. However, your own fishing boat is a trawler with abundant fish species. After sorting, you need to put the fish into baskets, so the flow chute is useless.

The entire net was pulled in. Zhao Qin counted it on one side and found that he had caught a total of 6 fish.

All together, it’s only about 40 pounds, which means that the income from this network is barely 50 US dollars. No matter how you calculate it, it will definitely be a loss.

Not only Kent, but also the other three boatmen had a look of despair on their faces. They didn't get a fixed salary, but their commissions were pretty good.

The three of them have almost 20% of the net profit on the ship. If they keep losing money, they will definitely not get any money.

Kent is indeed a famous fisherman in this port. Going to sea with him will always pay higher dividends than following others.

It is because of this that even though Kent has a bad temper, everyone still endures it. For the sake of life, they will not lose a piece of flesh after being scolded a few times.

As soon as the buoy at the end of the net came up, Kent's boat opened up and drew a semicircle, and he started to drive southwest.

After driving for about half an hour, he almost stopped at the western boundary of the fishing ground. However, there were already two fishing boats nearby, visible to the naked eye.

On the radio intercom, Kent started quarreling with someone again, which was very lively.

Kent said that this was his territory and that two ships had invaded his land, while the other two ships said that they were here first and told Kent to get out.

"Load the net," Kent called over the loudspeaker.

Zhao Qin secretly laughed in his heart. This Kent is bad enough. He chose the south side of the two boats, which is equivalent to the downstream position. It seems very unreasonable, but the fish travels against the current, which means that his net will go upstream. All the fish in the north were blocked.

Fishing spots are inevitable everywhere, and usually everyone negotiates with each other. There are very few people like Kent who are tit-for-tat and take the initiative to find excitement.

After the net went down, Kent looked at the water with a telescope. After waiting for about 15 minutes, water suddenly appeared in the distance.

Kent shouted with joy, "We caught them, haha, they have nowhere to escape."

This guy is a chameleon, Zhao Qin thought to himself.

The boatmen also shouted together and celebrated.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Kent put down the telescope and ran back to the wheelhouse. He started the boat and moved it along the side of the net, increasing the power and rushing forward. This forced the fish to rush into the net.

Sure enough, with the movement of the boat, another school of fish was frightened and crashed into the net.

Rushing to the end of the net, Kent ordered the net to be closed while not forgetting to ridicule Zhao Qin. The general meaning was that Zhao Qin didn't know how high the sky was and he was sure to win.

Zhao Qin didn't care. After all, the ship was not his own, and the network was not systematic, so he could only rely on intuition.

Whether the intuition is accurate or not remains to be verified. If the counterattack is too fierce at this moment, the slap in the face will be very painful.

This net is indeed quite impressive. About one-third of the net is collected, which means seventy or eighty fish. Calculating this way, this net can collect at least nearly three hundred fish.

Calculating an average of seven pounds per tail, this net can earn nearly 3000 US dollars. No matter what, today's capital is back, and there is still a profit, and it is only about nine o'clock at the moment.

It is absolutely possible to download three to four networks.

If every net catches so many fish, then today can be considered a good harvest.

Kent was very happy. Not only was he able to make a lot of money today, but the most important thing was that he beat that bragging boy.

As for the cost of this trip to sea, he actually had no intention of paying for it. After all, this was Joey's friend, and he and Joey grew up wearing crotchless pants together.

After they were teenagers, both parents moved, he came to Alaska, and Joy's family went to Scranton. The two communicated first by letters, and then by phone.

After all these years, it’s still the same as when I was a child. Although we would make sarcastic remarks to each other, we would also help each other when in trouble.

When he bought this boat, he didn't have enough money at the time, so Joey lent him a lot, so today he has to look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face. Besides, the other person is still a child, so he just needs to teach him a lesson.

"Zhao, give in now and our bet will be void."

"What, are you afraid that I will defeat you?"

Oops, my bad temper made Kent immediately angry. This guy must bear the shipping fee, let him know that the sky is high and the sky is high.

"Okay, let's see how long you can be proud of it?"

Joey translated for the two of them with a smile, without any intention of dissuading him. If he loses, losing some fish is nothing, and if Zhao Qin loses this little money, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"Are you listening to me now?"

Kent wanted to say that this place is very good, and fishing here will definitely bring a bumper harvest today, but the bet just said that the position of the net will be decided by the other party, so he had to keep silent.

Zhao Qin walked to the wheelhouse, looked at the navigation, and then marked a coordinate, "Go here."

Kent, who came closely behind, looked at it carefully, and then became a little unhappy. It took more than an hour to drive from here, but now there are obviously fish schools in this area, and he can continue to set the net.

"What, you want to break the contract?"

Kent was so angry, not at Zhao Qin, but at himself. Why did he just agree to this young man out of a sudden thought.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to inform you that although this is a blessed land, we have to change the battlefield because the guy who bet against me chose another underground network.

It's about an hour's flight away. If there are no fish, if you want to curse in your heart, please don't curse me. "

Kent unkindly used the loudspeaker to inform all the boatmen of Zhao Qin's decision.

Then when Zhao Qin came out of the wheelhouse, the eyes of the three boatmen changed, with anger. After all, the amount of fish caught every day directly affects their income.

And staying where you are is obviously the safest decision.
