After counting, there were more than 50 large yellow croakers weighing more than three kilograms, more than 300 weighing more than two kilograms, and no weighing less than one kilogram because the mesh of the mesh was too large.

Liu Xia Lian instructed Li Hu: "Don't sell the dozens of fish weighing more than three kilograms. Send them to the office later. I will need them."

"Okay, sister."

Erya was wearing gloves and felt uncomfortable catching fish, so she wanted to take them off. Liu Xialian quickly persuaded her, "Don't take off your gloves. Sea fish are different from freshwater fish. The bones of sea fish can hurt your body. Don't be careless."

"Ok."

With this net of big yellow croaker, my afternoon trip was in vain and it’s enough to pay for gas.

Liu Xialian suggested: "It's too cold this season, and other fish have hidden away. Let's go catch hairtail. The price is good and the quantity is large."

The big ship accelerated to the south. Liu Xialian, dressed like a bear and wearing big goggles, stood on the bow and said, "Put down the two big trawl nets. Let's continue looking for fish."

In fact, Liu Xialian's eyes can only see about ten meters of the sea. Fortunately, the Bohai Sea is relatively shallow. If it were any other sea, it would be basically useless.

A group of cutlassfish came head-on from the front. Cutlassfish are carnivorous fish that like to hunt in groups, and they just happened to run into the big trawl net.

There were so many cutlass fish that it took us ten minutes to sail through the school, which was two kilometers long.

Li Hu was puzzled. Why did the boat speed slow down when the accelerator was not released?

Liu Xialian shouted, "Stop the boat and collect the net."

This time, two large trawlers were used. The 45-meter-long ships had more than 800 horsepower and were expensive, equivalent to the price of three large trucks. The ships had plenty of power, and all the nets were pulled with diesel engines.

They were dragged up one by one, and soon the first one came up, and the treatment flooded onto the deck.

Even Daya, who had seen a lot of the world, was so scared that she sat there, thinking, "Oh my God, what is going on?"

The sailors exclaimed: "This net weighs at least five tons."

When there are fewer fish, they have to be arranged neatly and loaded into turnover boxes. But in this situation, there is no time to load them into boxes and they can be pushed directly into the cabin.

The second net came up soon after, full of high-quality hairtail fish, some of which were still biting each other. Hairtail fish have very sharp teeth, few bones, thick meat, and rich nutrition. The normal market price is about 70 cents per pound, about the same as pork, but the price of hairtail fish has increased during the Spring Festival, and it must be around one yuan.

Li Hu was speechless. This was the difference. He worked for more than five hours and only caught less than 2,000 kilograms of fish. Following Liu Xialian out, he didn't run far and ended up in the same place. In just an hour, he caught more than 1,000 kilograms of yellow croaker and 20,000 kilograms of hairtail.

Li Hu yelled at the top of his lungs: "Sister, should we continue salvaging or return?"

"We just came out, why should we return? The weather won't ruin the fish, so let's continue fishing and return in the evening."

However, the Bohai Sea is an inland sea after all, and the fishery resources are not that rich. We did not encounter large-scale fish schools afterwards. We switched to short trawl nets and caught hundreds of kilograms of sea bream and yellow mushroom fish, including dozens of red sea bream weighing five or six kilograms.

Red snapper is expensive, even much more expensive than yellow croaker, with the price being as high as five or six yuan per pound.

However, Li Hu, the boat owner, is obviously unqualified. He can't even recognize all the sea fish. The old master hired on the boat to pick the fish is really smart. This old man in his fifties has never seen anyone fisher like this. He is just trying to make money.

Liu Xia Lian felt that it was almost time: "Let's go back. We can't catch too much."

The large fishing boat turned around and headed back. Not long after, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared where it had just stopped. A monster several dozen meters long rushed out of the sea and soared into the air.

It was neither a dragon nor a snake, but had two long string-like things growing on its head. The monster flew only a hundred meters high in the sky before diving into the sea.

I was not idle on the way back. Based on the principle of catching fish wherever there were fish, I kept dragging two large nets and only put them away halfway.

I originally thought there wouldn't be any big catch, but I didn't expect to pull up more than 2,000 kilograms of blue-spotted mackerel.

Li Hu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "It's really what I wanted. Although this fish is cheap, it is very popular in the New Year's goods market. It will be sold out in the winter New Year's market."

The group returned to the port happily, stopped the boat and started sorting the fish.

This is an extremely complicated and tedious process. It took fifteen or sixteen people more than two hours to sort out more than 20,000 kilograms of fish, and they only finished one-third of it by the time it was past six o'clock.

Erya said, "I'm hungry and don't want to work anymore. Going to the beach is not fun at all. The wind is too strong and the net is gone as soon as I fish. It's boring."

Liu Xia Lian also noticed that Daya, Erya and Li Daniu didn't seem to be very interested in this. Compared with digging ginseng, this job was too boring.

"Li Hu, we will go back to the guesthouse to rest first. You and the workers should not work overtime too late. Pay more attention to rest. I will come again tomorrow morning and go back in the afternoon. The big fishing boats will develop slowly. It is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite."

"Okay sis, I understand."

Li Hu got two nets of hairtail this afternoon, and he was as happy as if he had won five million. It was like picking up money. No, it was even faster than picking up money. He picked up more than ten thousand in just over ten minutes. That's enough to sell a lot of small appliances.

Liu Xialian and the other four went back to the guesthouse to rest. Li Hu called one of his men and said, "Go to the snack bar nearby and buy some food. We will work overtime tonight to pack it and transport it back by truck tomorrow."

"Okay, boss. How do we calculate our commission today?"

"Of course we have to follow the rules. Today the boss has ordered us not to take the captain's commission. Let's split the 6 percent. This afternoon, we will get two months' salary. Let's work hard."

"Okay, we'll make sure to complete the task." When everyone heard that the bonus was so high, they immediately sped up and started sorting the items.

Liu Xia Lian returned to the guesthouse, but she was still a little worried about the factory, so she called Assistant Xiao Ma.

Assistant Xiao Ma said: "Everything went well during the birth, and there were no unexpected events. It was just that the man called Uncle Qi came to you and asked you to call him back."

"Oh, Uncle Seven, okay, I understand."

Liu Xia Lian hung up the phone after thinking for a while. She thought that her Seventh Uncle must have something important to talk to her about, so she called him again immediately.

"Hello, Uncle Qi, it's me, Xia Lian. What's up?"

"Where are you? Is it convenient to talk?"

"I'm at the post office. There are too many people there. It's not convenient."

"Let me make it short. I have an urgent mission. You need to go to Liancheng. A fish was found flying into the sky in the sea over there. Go over there tomorrow to check out the situation."

"Oh, that's a coincidence, I'm in Liancheng, where exactly?"

"There are many people talking, so stop talking. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."
