Chapter 1082 Why Don’t the Three of Them Get Seasick?
"Oh my god, can't we collect the traps every day?"
Ye Lin exclaimed, thinking in his heart, "Put down the crab cages the day before, and come back to collect them the day after. If the crab cages yield a lot, it will feel like going out to sea and picking up money every day!
Awan, this is much easier than trawling!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming took the time out from his busy work to roll his eyes at him.
"Comrade Ye Lin, you're dreaming! How much seafood can a crab trap hold? If you don't haul nets and rely solely on the crab traps every day to make a living, you'll soon be starving!"
"Oh, that's true."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. "We used to have a lot of seafood in our crab cages and ground traps, but it only added up to a few hundred kilograms. Selling these few hundred kilograms would only be worth a little money for diesel and taxes."
"If you want to get rich just by selling crab pots and crab cages, forget it."
In fact, if the harvest is large, there is a risk that the crab cages and ground traps will be stolen, so the seafood in the crab cages and ground traps can only be used as icing on the cake at most. If you want to make a living from this, the risk is too great.
The few of them chatted as they worked, and soon the crab pots and ground traps on the deck were almost all filled.
Next was the bamboo tube trap. Robert and Tom had never seen this thing before and were a little curious.
"Wan, what is this thing used for?"
"I know, it's used to catch octopuses!"
Jack answered first, and he felt a little proud after he said it, thinking that he and Robert knew nothing at the beginning, but now, he has grown up!
"That's amazing. Can this catch octopuses?"
Robert exclaimed, and Fu Wan nodded affirmatively, "Octopuses like to get into small jars like this. There are more octopuses at night. If you leave it in overnight, you will definitely get something."
"Wan, is this the method you came up with? It's so clever!"
Tom was very impressed. No one in the United States would have thought of this method.
"Okay, stop flattering me, and don't just sit around. Now that we've set the bamboo traps, it's time to start trawling."
Fu Ming urged him despite feeling jealous, but Robert had another question.
"Ming, when will we be able to catch fish after we put down this net?"
"It will take at least three hours."
"Should we wait here then?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "No, we'll go to bed after we finish setting the trawl net. When the time comes to trawl, a bell will ring to remind everyone to come down and pull up the net."
Robert seemed to understand what he heard. He thought he had to wait for the fish to swim into the net. Fishing with a fishing net was indeed different from fishing. Robert felt that he had gained new knowledge.
After setting the trawl, Fu Ming and Ye Lin yawned together.
Fu Wan was the same. She hadn't been out to sea for several days and was used to turning off the lights and going to bed at seven or eight o'clock. It was almost time now and she was really a little sleepy.
"Everyone, go to the rest cabin and take a nap. We'll come down and set up the net when it's time."
This "everyone" not only refers to Fu Ming, Ye Lin, Fang Min, Fu Qing and others, but also the four people Fu Haishun and Fu Mancang who have been busy with longline fishing.
"Awan, let's not go. We'll just watch here. If you get sleepy, there are chairs nearby to lean on.
The four of us should stick to the previous rules. Jinshui and Daniu will go and rest first, and then they will take turns on duty with us."
Fu Haishun put down the longline fishing hook in his hand and looked at Fu Wan and said.
Fu Wan thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Alright, just watch over it. Don't force yourself, everyone. If you feel sleepy, take a rest.
It won't be a big deal if the trawl net is lowered. The wind is strong on deck, so you can sit in the cargo hold while you're on duty to avoid the wind."
"Hey, I got it!"
Fu Haishun and the other three responded one after another. They were still touched in their hearts. Their wages were the highest among the boatmen in the village and even in the area.
Fu Wan did not have the habit of ordering people around like other ship owners, and was always kind to them.
Fu Ming whistled as he walked towards the rest cabin. Jack and the other two walked even faster than him.
"Hey, that's strange, why don't the three of them get seasick?"
Looking at the spirits of Jack, Robert and the other two, they don't look at all like the miserable state they had when they went out to sea.
Logically, as soon as you get on the boat and go out to sea, few people will not run to the boat to make a nest.
Fu Wan laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Brother, you forgot, these three aren't exactly newcomers to the sea."
"Look at the color of their skin. They must have gone fishing a lot in Los Angeles. Besides, our "Riding the Wind and Waves" is big and stable, so it's normal that they don't get seasick!"
"Oh, yeah, I'd have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. They're lucky they got a good boat!"
Fu Ming had a look of regret on his face. Fu Wan fell asleep soon after returning to the rest cabin. Perhaps it was because she hadn't been out to sea on a boat for a long time, but she kept dreaming of herself fishing alone on the sea in a hand-rowed boat.
The only thing a hand-rowed boat can use is a hand-cast net. She threw the hand-cast net out, and it sank quickly, obviously there were a lot of fish.
She gritted her teeth and pulled the fishing net towards the boat. Just as the net was about to be pulled out of the water, a loud bell rang, bringing her back to reality from her dream.
Ouch, I was almost there, I pulled the hand net up by myself!
Fu Wan pounded the bed angrily, took half a minute to get up, put on her clothes, and washed her face. After she woke up, she went down the stairs and walked to the deck.
Forget it, dreams are just dreams after all. The fish that you couldn’t pull up in the dream may be in the trawl net that is about to be pulled up.
Before Fu Wan stepped onto the deck, she heard the creaking sound of the net-lifting machine in operation.
At the same time, there was the voice of Robert speaking.
"Ming, Lin, let me operate this machine. I already understand what I should do."
"What do you understand? This is a net-lifting machine. If you don't operate it properly, the fish in the net bag won't be pulled up."
Fu Ming refused without a second thought, but seeing Robert's lost look, he felt a little reluctant.
"Forget it, this is the first net of the day, and we absolutely cannot make any mistakes. If you want to operate it, I will teach you step by step on the next net."
Upon hearing this, Robert instantly became happy again.
When Fu Wan walked up to them, the net had already been pulled out of the water.
It was the first time for Robert and Tom to see such a scene, and they immediately cheered excitedly.
"Oh my god, that's a big ball, guys, it can't be full of fish!"
"Amazing Chinese people, amazing Chinese fishing nets! Is this the same big net we just put down? Oh my god, it can actually turn into such a big ball!"
In comparison, Jack was much calmer, but his eyes were also full of excitement. It had been almost a year since he last went fishing.
Humph, Robert and Tom are two fools. When Wan goes up to untie the magic rope later, they will definitely jump in shock!
"It looks like a good catch. The net is plump and round. Awan, this is the first net. You should open it!"
