At noon, Mr. Locust picked up the lobsters and crabs that Jian Er and the others had caught and started cooking them.
There is a small kitchen in the fishing boat, in which various accessories have been prepared.
After eating the lunch prepared by Mr. Locust, especially the big lobster, it was no worse than what he cooked last time. It seems that this chef is very qualified.
After taking a break at noon, a few mermaids went into the sea again and started fishing. At about three o'clock, Chu Xian looked at today's harvest and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's enough!" Chu Xian thought and ordered all the mermaids to get on the boat.
At this moment, more than a dozen fish tanks on the fishing boat are filled with jellyfish and Christmas tree worms, and the deck is covered with all kinds of strange stones.
A storage bin is also covered with various colorful seaweeds, which can fully create more than a hundred sea tanks.
"Go back!" Chu Xian looked at today's harvest and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Okay boss!" Mu Lao nodded, then entered the cockpit and started driving towards the shore.
It took almost an hour to reach the shore from here. Chu Xian lay down on a chair and rested, with several mermaids sitting beside him.
"Boss, boss!" Suddenly, Mulao's voice came: "Boss, the ultrasound found a school of fish in front of us, do we want to catch it?"
Chu Xian, who squinted his eyes, was slightly startled: "What, a school of fish?"
"Yes, boss, there is a school of fish ahead of the ultrasonic survey in the fishing boat, but there are very few fish, about two to three thousand, but they are not small, estimated to weigh four to five thousand kilograms."
"What kind of fish?" Chu Xian immediately sat up and asked excitedly.
"Um, boss, the ultrasound can't detect any fish!" Mu Lao said speechlessly.
Chu Xian patted his head and immediately used sonic detection. Speaking of which, his sonic detection was even more powerful than ultrasound and could completely reflect a black and white picture.
"It's a pomfret, it should be a pomfret!" Chu Xian guessed in his mind while looking at the shape of the black and white fish in his mind.
"Pompano? Boss, do we want to catch it?" Mu Lao asked him.
"Catch, of course you have to catch it!" Chu Xian nodded without hesitation. The price of pomfret this year has dropped significantly. Two or three kilograms of pomfret only costs more than ten yuan per kilogram, and the price of smaller ones is even lower. .
Of course, when Chu Xian bought a fishing boat, he also wanted to use its fishing function. What's more, this was the first time he encountered a school of fish, so of course he had to practice his skills.
"Capture normally!" Chu Xian said to Mr. Locust and the others.
Their Mermaid has two fishing methods. One is trawling. Trawling is an efficient fishing method with very high efficiency, but it is generally suitable for offshore fishing. If you are lucky, one trawling can directly Liquidation.
This method of fishing requires driving the boat while catching.
The second fishing method is seine fishing. In seine fishing, the fishing boat is fixed, and then the fishing net is dropped using the ship's wheel, just like casting a net.
This method requires fish to gather together, and the efficiency is also very good.
The former fishing method is very expensive, but the latter is very simple.
For thousands of small fish that cannot be caught in small schools, you only need to use seine nets to catch them. When the wheels are turned on, the entire fishing net is about thirty meters in diameter.
Chu Xian did not use his ability to rule directly into the sea to rule the fish, but stood on the shore and watched quietly.
The first is that he wants to see how effective the fishing boats are at fishing, and the second is that the value of the pomfret is not worth it for him to go down in person. If there are bluefin tuna, I will definitely dive into the sea without saying a word.
"Lay the net!" Old Locust shouted to Jian Er Jian Si and the others who were controlling the wheel.
"Copy that!" Jian Er Jian Si responded loudly and began to slowly put down the fishing net.
"Let me go, can this net be placed more crookedly?" Chu Xian was stunned when he looked at the position where the fishing net was dropped. The position of the fish school was to the left of where the fishing net was dropped, and now the fishing net was obviously deviated by a large distance.
"Oh, it's crooked!" Mulao, who was inspecting the fishing boat at this time, shouted loudly when he saw the position of the fish school.
"Uh!" Chu Xian was speechless: "Emotions are all for laymen, and communication is not timely!"
Chu Xian shook his head: "Forget it, let's continue!"
"Ahem! Boss, this fishing still requires experience. We just need to practice." Old Locust said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chu Xian shook his head.
"Close the Internet cafe!" Mr. Locust said to Jian Er Jian Si and the others.
The fishing net was slowly put away, and the fish inside appeared in everyone's sight.
"Well, it's not bad, at least four to five hundred kilograms!" Chu Xian said sincerely. In the past, he used fishing rods to fish, and most often he saw others using fishing nets to cast nets. Compared with this kind of fishing, which can bring hundreds of kilograms in one net. ,Not even close.
"Ahem." Mr. Locust coughed dryly on the side.
"It's okay, it's just the first time. Just practice more often in the future." Chu Xian smiled nonchalantly.
Although his fishing boat is used for fishing, it mainly focuses on valuable fish. For example, if he encounters a group of more valuable fish in the future, he can go to the sea to dominate the fish and then catch them all in one net. Hehe, just think about it. Cool.
The fishing goods were put into the boat, and Jian Er Jian San and the others immediately started sorting them.
Fish weighing more than a few hundred kilograms is a lot less, but definitely not a lot. Put them directly into a storage room, and there is no need to freeze them.
After the net was taken down, other fish in the fish school also dispersed in panic. It was obviously impossible to continue to catch them.
"Go back, if there are more fish, stop and catch them!" Chu Xian said to them, and then continued to lie on the chair.
But obviously, it is very difficult to encounter fish schools in the vicinity of the Yellow Sea. It is their good luck to encounter fish schools in such a close area.
In the afternoon, fishing boats docked at the pier.
The arrival of such a large fishing boat aroused the curiosity of nearby fishermen, especially when they saw the three words "Mermaid" it attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, there seems to be fish on their fishing boat. It seems that they went out to sea to fish?"
"Maybe. The first few times were probably to test the water. Today is the official fishing. I wonder how much they caught this time?"
"How much can I catch in just eight or nine hours? I guess it's a few thousand kilograms."
"Nonsense, such a big fishing boat can catch at least three to four thousand kilograms by trawling for seven or eight hours, although some small yellow croakers can only be spent on fuel."
"Come on, let's go and take a look. One day's work on this kind of fishing boat is equivalent to two or three days on an ordinary small fishing boat. It should make a good income."
The fishermen beside the pier started talking and walked towards where the Mermaid was docked.
