Climb aboard.
Fang Youqun lay on the deck with his legs spread wide in the air, gasping for breath. "Oh my god, I'm so tired. I can't do it anymore. I'm so tired."
Chen Qingsheng's chest also heaved as he sat on the deck drinking mineral water in small sips.
Xiang Yang glanced at the two men and it was obvious that they were both exhausted.
"Thank you for your hard work today. I will give you commission when we get back." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Commission?" Fang Youqun, who was lying there like a dead dog, immediately climbed up from the deck when he heard it, and looked at Xiang Yang eagerly.
Xiang Yang smiled and repeated what he had said to Chen Qingsheng.
Fang Youqun's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then what are we waiting for? Brother Yang, let's go back quickly. It's already dark."
"Okay." Xiang Yang said, "You drive the boat."
"No problem." Fang Youqun jumped from the fishing boat to the rubber boat as if he had taken a powerful pill, tied the fishing boat and the rubber boat together with a rope, and then shouted: "Brother Yang, the rubber boat has been tied up, we can set sail."
Xiang Yang walked to the bow and looked behind, then shouted, "Fang Youqun, can you do it? The rubber boat has no rudder or brakes. If you can't, I will control the rubber boat and you will drive the fishing boat."
Tugboat and trailer are two different concepts.
Generally, when a car breaks down and another car is called to tow it, as long as the drivers of the two cars in the front and back can coordinate in advance and the car in the front maintains a constant speed without sudden braking or acceleration, the driver of the car in the back can usually catch up with the car in front.
Tugboats are different.
Firstly, neither the small fishing boat nor the rubber boat has brakes. If an emergency occurs, the only way to deal with it is to stop the power supply and wait for the fishing boat to stop by itself.
Secondly, the rubber boat is a purely human-powered boat without a rudder. If the boat in front suddenly changes direction and the rubber boat behind does not have time to change course, it is easy to cause a capsizing accident, or even directly break the rope pulling the boat, or pull down the hook of the rubber boat or fishing boat.
"No problem." Fang Youqun shouted while holding the oars: "Brother Yang, Brother Qing, just drive. As long as you don't change direction suddenly, this rubber boat will not capsize."
"Okay." Xiang Yang nodded, then looked at Chen Qingsheng and ordered: "Chen Qingsheng, start the boat."
"Yes, Captain." Chen Qingsheng immediately stood up, walked to the bow and started the engine of the fishing boat.
Fishing boat starts.
It’s no wonder that Fang Youqun is really good at controlling the rubber boat. He didn’t make any mistakes throughout the whole process.
Soon, the fishing boat towed the rubber boat back to the Qinglong Bay Pier.
This time point was the peak period of "traffic" at the Qinglong Bay Wharf. Many fishermen who went out to sea to salvage returned to the shore at this time. Everyone saw Xiang Yang driving a small fishing boat back from overseas with an inflatable boat following behind the boat, and they all swam over quickly.
"Yoko, why didn't you drive your ocean-going fishing boat today? Why did you go out to sea in a small boat?"
"Wow, one boat in front and one boat towing the back, Yangzi, you must have had a good harvest today, right?"
In the eyes of the villagers, only people with no future would go out to sea to fish in such a small fishing boat. A capable person like Xiang Yang should go out to sea in a big boat.
"I didn't plan to go out to sea today. I just wanted to go boating with Chen Qingsheng to relax. I didn't expect to find a group of spotted silverfins on the sea, so I immediately called Fang Youqun to the sea, and the three of us caught some spotted silverfins together."
"Spotted silverfin? What kind of fish is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" wondered an old fisherman.
Xiang Yang pointed into the bucket and said, "These are the spotted fins."
Everyone quickly shifted their attention and ran to the boat to look at the so-called spotted silver carp in the barrel.
"Is this little guy a spotted silverfin? This fish has less than 2 taels of meat. Yangzi, why are you catching such a small fish? Aren't there crabs, lobsters and the like to catch in the sea?" someone asked puzzledly.
In the eyes of the villagers, fish are sea fish that can be eaten. If they have no edible value, they are worthless.
Although the villagers had seen Xiang Yang catch a French blue dragon worth three million, they later learned that the French blue dragon was not only beautiful but also a top-notch food ingredient. The reason why it could be sold for more than three million was because French blue dragons were extremely rare, and every time one appeared, it would be clearly recorded in the archives.
This time, the project's wooden barrel was full of spotted silver carps. Although these fish looked good, there were so many of them that it was impossible to say that they were valuable because they were rare.
Before Xiang Yang could say anything, Fang Youqun on the side burst into laughter.
Fang Youqun already knew how valuable these fish were. He was laughing at the fishermen for comparing these spotted finfish with crabs. How much are crabs worth? How precious are these spotted finfish? They really don't know the value of gold and jade.
"Fang Youqun, are you itching for trouble?" A dark-skinned fisherman felt unhappy when he saw Fang Youqun laughing. He clenched his fists as if he would hit Fang Youqun with his fists if Fang Youqun couldn't give him a reasonable explanation.
"That's enough." Xiang Yang patted Fang Youqun's shoulder to calm him down, and then said with a smile, "You all underestimate this fish. It's really not edible, but its price is ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary crabs. Even if it's edible, most people would never be willing to eat this fish."
The villagers immediately looked at Xiang Yang with different eyes, and the crowd instantly became quiet, with only the sounds of heavy breathing and gasps in the air.
An old fisherman who was skinny but had lumps of tendon meat on his body wiped his face and said with red eyes: "I have encountered this kind of fish in a certain area of the sea in Qinglong Bay. I thought it was beautiful at the time, so I caught a few for my grandson to play with. In the end, the boy took it and fed it to the cat."
"Uh." Xiang Yang's eyes twitched, and he managed to say after a long while, "Master Wang Wu, your big cat eats really well."
Wang's fifth son covered his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken. After a while, he said with a sad face, "Yangzi, tell me the truth, how much is this fish worth?"
"This." Xiang Yang blinked, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. Seeing Wang's fifth son's submissive look, he was afraid that if he told the truth, he would directly tell the person.
"Yangzi, tell me." The fifth son of the Wang family said with trembling lips, "I have lived for most of my life. What have I not experienced? Just tell me boldly and confidently. I can handle it."
