"Tsk tsk tsk!~"

"Freshly caught and cooked at sea is the best way to enjoy freshness—but these blue crabs are fatter after August or September."

Fang Hao said as he ate.

All the orchid crabs were steamed in a pot; they only needed to be washed clean and turned upside down before steaming.

"...

—"

"It's a bit extravagant!"

Fang Qiang shook his head and said.

One crab is worth half a day's wages.

Normally, if you catch such a big orchid crab, you probably wouldn't want to satisfy your appetite.

It would be better to have real money instead!

"Hahaha!"

"You need to eat well to have the energy to work hard!"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

Clearly, they didn't care much about it.

"Brother Hao!"

"I'm full—let's close the net now."

Fang Qiang stood up after he finished speaking.

Get ready to close the net.

Lest we get swept away by the seawater.

Whether we can have a good harvest next depends on the four silk nets.

However, I think there should be some gains.

The one I just received had several orchid crabs; maybe I'll be able to have crabs to my heart's content today.

You should know that fishing at sea is a very mysterious thing.

If there is no catch when you first start hauling in the net, you may not catch anything at all. But if you have a good catch at the beginning, you will have a steady stream of catches.

We caught so many orchid crabs before.

That proves that there are probably quite a few orchid crabs in this area today, and it's still very likely that you can catch them; it's a matter of probability.

"OK!"

"Let's get started!"

Fang Hao nodded and said.

Two people working together are more efficient.

Otherwise, it would be quite a headache for one person to both close and untangle the net.

"Brother Hao!"

"I'll haul in the net! You just need to dismantle the fish—"

Fang Qiang spoke again.

He took the initiative to do the hardest work.

Each position on the fishing boat has a clear division of labor, some involving physical labor and others involving manual labor.

Anyway, we all have to work!

It's important to know that fishermen typically set off before dawn and work at sea until the afternoon or nightfall before returning.

"good!"

Fang Hao had no objections.

He's really not very good at closing the net.

I had never done this at sea before, so strictly speaking, I was a novice.

But cutting fish is relatively simple!

Anyone with hands can do it.

It's simply a matter of how fast and efficient one becomes proficient.

The net catches fish at a rate that's not so ridiculously slow that it can't be untangled; if it were, you'd make a fortune.

After all, who's afraid of catching a lot of fish when they're out at sea?

They would definitely want to bombard the internet with their messages.

"In stock!"

"Another orchid crab!"

They've only just begun to close the net.

A very large orchid crab was immediately served.

Fang Qiang became excited.

The smile on his face was absolutely radiant!

"Brother Hao!"

"Be careful!"

"After untangling it, just throw it into the live water tank, so you don't lose the pliers and they become worthless."

Fang Qiang spoke up.

Just a quick reminder of some key points for my childhood friend.

He also knew that Fang Hao had very little work experience.

"This is really good!"

"At least seven or eight ounces," Fang Hao said happily.

Grab the orchid crab from behind.

The pincers and claws were entangled in the silk netting.

Whether using trawl nets, gillnets, or fish traps, it's possible to catch crabs, among which common species include orchid crabs, stone crabs, and three-spot crabs.

Looks like I'm having pretty good luck today.

Can you catch orchid crabs one after another?

Normally, it might catch some bluefin bream or other small fish.

"Another one!"

"This is exactly the feeling I've been looking for, it's so awesome!"

soon.

Another one came up.

Fang Hao immediately smiled and said.

The original intention of setting the net was to catch some fish.

I don't understand why there are so many blue crabs today; it's really unexpected.

really!

The ocean is like a football.

There are infinite possibilities.

It seems like they've set up a den for orchid crabs, as they've been catching them one after another.

"Brother Hao!"

"It would be great if we could get a few dozen or so orchid crabs today. These things should fetch three or four yuan a pound if we sold them to Wang Mazi."

Fang Qiang said with a smile.

Catching a blue crab would be great too.

At least it's better than those random, worthless fish.

Mackerel, sardines, and sole are mostly bony with little meat, so they don't fetch a good price.

Perhaps someone in later generations would still want it.

With marine resources not being scarce these days, people will definitely choose better seafood.

Fish with more bones and less meat are cheaper.

Even if you give it to someone else, they might not want it.

Then.

The two of them collected half a clock net.

All four wire meshes were retrieved.

Besides orchid crabs, we also caught a lot of fish, as well as mantis shrimp and other miscellaneous seafood.

There are countless species of fish alone.

I caught two groupers!

It's just the common grouper.

It's neither a grouper nor a blue grouper.

"Brother Hao!"

"Should we continue releasing them?"

The net was almost completely hauled in.

Fang Qiang then asked.

After all, it's still early.

It's important to know that many small fishing boats work from morning till night after they go out to sea, constantly setting, hauling in, and untying their nets.

It keeps going and going!

It's not like setting up a fish trap.

They simply throw it into the sea and wait a day or two before collecting it.

"continue!"

"One or two more rounds."

Fang Hao nodded and said.

This round of harvesting yielded over forty orchid crabs, a large bucket of miscellaneous fish, and some other odds and ends.

Overall, the results were quite good!

There are plenty of seafood resources these days.

Basically, all fishing boats that go out to sea can catch something; it's just a matter of how much.

"OK!"

"I hope you'll order another Polish flower crab!"

Fang Qiang nodded.

Anyway, setting up the net is quick.

With a little tidying up, the fishing net can be set back up; it doesn't take much time at all.

The main problem is that closing and unclogging the net is more troublesome.

Then.

The two quickly tidied the fishing net.

A new round of net removal work has begun.

The catch from the last round of netting was pretty good; we caught quite a few orchid crabs, two turbot, and plenty of other fish.

"Brother Hao!"

"Looks like catching schools of fish is more satisfying; one net and the ship's hold is overflowing."

Fang Qiang couldn't help but sigh.

Clearly, they were missing the highlight of catching mackerel yesterday.

A single net can catch several hundred kilograms.

That feeling was absolutely invigorating.

I wish there were more opportunities like this.

"You little brat!"

"Who doesn't know how great it is to encounter a school of fish?"

Fang Hao shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

But fish are not so easy to find. Yesterday, I was extremely lucky to catch over a thousand pounds of mackerel.

"hey-hey--"

"Just thinking about it."

Fang Qiang also said awkwardly.

After all, it's not easy to work hard and stay grounded after making a fortune.

This is human nature!

"Log off immediately!"

"Catching more orchid crabs wouldn't be a bad deal—"

Fang Hao said in a deep voice.

Instead of thinking about those unrealistic things.

That's not as good as setting the fishing net properly.

Even with some effort, you can catch quite a lot.

He felt he was very lucky when he went to sea, and each time he had a considerable harvest.

Even if today is not as good as yesterday!

It's still not bad.

It's important to know that many fishing boats don't necessarily have a guaranteed catch when they go out to sea.
