Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang in shock and said quickly, "No, no, Captain, although we didn't sail this time, you still paid me. I am still working. I am taking your salary and using your equipment. How can I share the profits with you for the fish I caught during my working hours?"
"The salary I pay you is the salary of a first mate, not a salary for diving and fishing." Xiang Yang patted Chen Qingsheng on the shoulder, "Remember, you are my first mate, not my handyman. This 50% of the profit is not given by me, but what you deserve."
Chen Qingsheng blinked his eyes. Which boss wouldn't try to get an employee to do several jobs for one salary? Working during normal working hours and still getting extra commission? This was simply unbelievable.
Chen Qingsheng gritted his teeth, and there was a different look in his eyes when he looked at Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled. Which of his crew members would be willing to follow him if it wasn't for money? If he wanted to increase the loyalty of his crew members, he could just talk to them about their dreams without money.
Stop talking nonsense.
An employee’s dream is to not have to work.
"Captain, let me go down and take a look." Chen Qingsheng hurriedly dealt with the spotted silver carp in the net bag and dived under the water with great energy.
Time flies.
Soon, it was afternoon.
Xiang Yang called Fang Youqun and Chen Qingsheng who were swimming up and down in the sea, "It's almost time, come up and eat something to replenish your energy, otherwise you will be exhausted by dusk."
Fang Youqun climbed onto the boat with a dry laugh. "Actually, I'm not tired at all, but it's good to rest for a while. Otherwise, if the oxygen in the oxygen tank runs out, we will really have no choice but to stare blankly."
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes. The diving equipment he was using now were all advanced equipment that ordinary people could not buy on the market. Take the oxygen tank for example, it was compressed with super-rich air and one tank was enough for more than ten hours. How could a diver use up all the oxygen in a day
Chen Qingsheng patted Fang Youqun's head and said, "Okay, if you're not tired, then you can continue to stay down there. If the oxygen tank runs out, you can use mine later."
Fang Youqun immediately looked embarrassed.
When people swim under the sea, the physical energy consumption is extremely great. Staying under the sea for a long time will not only consume physical strength, but also cause dehydration. The most important thing is that the pressure at the bottom of the sea will have a certain impact on the internal organs of the human body. Fang Youqun must be physically and mentally exhausted after staying under the sea for so long. It is impossible for him not to be tired.
Xiang Yang watched with a smile, wondering whether Fang Youqun would continue to be stubborn or bow his head and tell the truth.
However, Xiang Yang still underestimated the thickness of Fang Youqun's face.
Fang Youqun grabbed the edge of the fishing boat with both hands and climbed onto the boat from the sea. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, Brother Qing, how many spotted silverbacks have you caught?"
Xiang Yang pointed to the wooden barrel and said, "It's all here, take a look for yourself."
Fang Youqun stretched his head and took a look inside the barrel. "Wow, there are so many. Brother Yang, can you pick out an ugly, worthless one for me?"
"What do you want this fish for?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Raise one." Fang Youqun sat cross-legged on the deck of the fishing boat. "The cheapest fish only costs a few hundred yuan each. With my current wealth, it's not too much for me to raise a pet that costs a few hundred yuan, right?"
"Puchi." Xiang Yang was immediately amused by Fang Youqun's words.
Chen Qingsheng laughed even louder.
After a while, Xiang Yang said, "Among small fish, the life span of the spotted finless bream is very long. In the natural environment, it can generally live for ten to fifteen years. This kind of fish is indeed worth raising, because an ornamental fish can become more and more beautiful after careful breeding and artificial cultivation. As long as you can raise it to a brighter color, you will make a lot of money, because the price of any ornamental fish is linked to its appearance."
Fang Youqun's eyes lit up, "Brother Yang, then help me pick one that is younger and has more potential."
"I haven't finished yet, please listen to me first." Xiang Yang waved his hand and continued, "But you are not suitable for raising a spotted silverfin."
"Why?" Fang Youqun wondered.
"Because the spotted silverfin is very picky about food, it only eats live things and refuses to eat any ready-made food. Because of this characteristic of the spotted silverfin, you can't see the spotted silverfin in most aquarium stores, because ordinary aquarium stores can't keep a spotted silverfin alive at all."
The vast majority of wild spotted silver carps will die of starvation. Only a small number of wealthy people who can afford to place extra-large fish tanks at home and provide them with fresh food every day can keep spotted silver carps alive.
After Fang Youqun heard what Xiang Yang said, a picture emerged in his mind. He happily took a spotted silverfin home, put it in the small fish tank in his bedroom, and then fed it with his leftover rice. In the end, the spotted silverfin would rather starve to death than eat a grain of rice.
"Brother Yang, starve it for a few more meals. I don't believe that this fish won't open its mouth." Fang Youqun said.
Xiang Yang handed Fang Youqun a sandwich cookie and said, "They will starve to death after a few meals. When raising spotted silver carp, you can either make them open their mouths on the first day, or they will starve to death. You can try this to see if the spotted silver carp in the barrel can open their mouths."
Fang Youqun took the biscuit, tore it open, broke it into pieces, and then threw the crumbs into the wooden barrel little by little.
The result is of course self-evident. There is not even a single opening in the spotted fish fins in the barrel.
Xiang Yang smiled and threw a barnacle that he had broken off from the bottom of the boat into the air. The barnacle immediately flew in a parabola and landed accurately in the wooden barrel.
A large group of spotted netfish immediately scattered in all directions as if they were frightened. After a while, a spotted netfish cautiously approached the barnacle.
I saw a colorful spotted silverback carefully touching the barnacle with its lips.
Fang Youqun's face immediately lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Captain, Captain, look, that spotted fin is about to open its mouth."
Xiang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Just wait and see."
"You've already opened your mouth, can you spit out the food in it?" Fang Youqun laughed.
"Don't talk." Chen Qingsheng frowned, his eyes fixed on the bottom of the fish tank.
"Huh?" Fang Youqun looked at Chen Qingsheng in confusion.
Chen Qingsheng said without even looking up: "Look inside the fish tank."
Fang Youqun quickly turned his head and looked inside the fish tank.
There were four or five spotted fish circling around the barnacle that Xiang Yang threw into the wooden barrel. From time to time, a spotted fish swam around the barnacle and used its frog-like head to butt the shell of the barnacle.
