Zhang Qicheng was a little disappointed.
In fact, he has pressure to sell these affordable or even cheap seafood.
Many times, he would directly drag these cheap seafood to the processing plant to be processed into various canned fish or cat food and fish. In fact, he did not make any money at all, and sometimes he would even lose part of the shipping cost.
If there is not even a single rare catch, or even a few affordable catches, then it would be a real loss.
However, after all, it was the first time they cooperated, and the other party gave him all the catches of different grades to deal with, so Zhang Qicheng didn't care. He just hoped that the other party could catch more valuable fish next time.
Back on the cruise ship, Xiang Yang did not go out to sea again tonight. He returned to the cabin early and fell asleep with the rough waves as his pillow.
Early the next morning.
It's time to collect the eels.
The champagne bottle that was tied with a fishing line and sunk to the bottom of the sea was very heavy. If you tried to pull it with a thin line, your hand would be strangled and bleed.
Several crew members worked together and it took a lot of effort to pull a string of champagne bottles up from the bottom of the sea.
When the first string of champagne bottles was pulled up, the crew immediately exclaimed.
There were a total of five champagne bottles tied to the thin thread, and two of them contained eels.
"We caught it, we actually caught it." The crew members shouted excitedly.
Xiang Yang also smiled. If he had the chance in the future, he could also use this method to catch eels. He would use animal liver as bait and would make money if he could catch eels.
Only Xu Fang frowned.
"What's wrong? You've caught the eel, why do you still look unhappy?" Xiang Yang asked puzzledly.
Xu Fang shook his head. "The livers in these three empty bottles were eaten."
Xiang Yang was stunned and quickly picked up an empty champagne bottle to look at it carefully.
Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng also hurried over to take a closer look.
Soon, the three of them confirmed that the beef liver in the champagne bottle had indeed been eaten by some unknown marine creature.
"This is good news. It proves that there are more eels in this sea area than what we caught. It's just that we didn't use the right tools this time." Xiang Yang smiled and comforted Xu Fang.
However, Xu Fang couldn't laugh because the efficiency of catching eels was too low. In one night, he used five champagne bottles to catch only two eels.
You should know that the reason why a champagne bottle with a small upper port and a large lower body is used to catch eels is because one champagne bottle can catch more than one eel. Once the eel enters the bottle, it basically cannot get out. As long as the bait inside is not eaten, there will be a steady stream of eels entering. In theory, a string of five champagne bottles should catch at least twenty to thirty eels a night. This efficiency is more than ten times less than Xu Fang's plan.
"Pull up another string and let's see." Xiang Yang said.
A total of more than a dozen clusters of champagne bottles were rained down yesterday. Maybe the eels are in other champagne bottles.
Xu Fang also quickly directed people to pull the thin line.
Soon, strings of champagne bottles were pulled up, but the result was not much improved.
"Twenty-two, twenty-three, no more?" Fang Youqun's eyes widened and he shouted, "Master Xu, you caught hundreds of eels yesterday with just a few buckets. How come you only caught twenty-three eels today after using so many champagne bottles?"
"Firstly, it may be related to the water quality. Secondly, the mouth of the champagne bottle is too large, and the space in the bottle is also too large. The eel may be able to escape after entering." Li Chao guessed.
These champagne bottles are used for decoration on cruise ships.
But if it is a full bottle of champagne, one bottle is enough for everyone on the cruise ship for one meal. The champagne that Li Chao prepared for the cruise ship is the same large champagne as on the airplane, which is one-third the height of a person.
Xiang Yang thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Master Chen, when you go back this time, go buy twenty empty water bottles from the water dispenser, and then modify them so that they can sink to the bottom of the sea. How much does it cost? Just add it to the account."
Chen Qingsheng nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Captain, I'll do it right after I get back this time."
"Well, we need it as soon as possible. We may need it next time we go out to sea." Xiang Yang said.
Xiang Yang would certainly use this kind of thing which does not require much physical effort or investment but can bring in a large sum of money.
"Okay, forget about the eels. Is there anything else you want to play? If not, I'll give the order to return." Li Chao said with a smile.
"Let's go back." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "It's fun on the yacht, but we never know when we will have to go out to sea again. We can't let everyone stay on the ground all the time."
Li Chao smiled and nodded.
Soon, the cruise ship and the drift net fishing boat returned to Qinglongwan Pier.
In Yanlong Village, preparations for burning the pagoda and the fire dragon lanterns are in full swing.
The anchors, dressed up in fancy clothes, were broadcasting live on the beach, explaining and promoting various things related to fire dragon lanterns and burning pagodas.
Xiang Yang doesn't believe that these are the hosts' autonomous actions.
The internet celebrity incubation base in Qinglongwan has not been built yet, so it is impossible for so many anchors to come here.
"Did you do all this?" Xiang Yang asked Li Chao.
"Yes, that's right." Li Chao said with a smile: "I have discussed with your village chief Zuo that I will be in charge of all matters after the burning of the pagoda and the fire dragon lantern. Of course, if you want to take charge, you can also direct it yourself."
Xiang Yang waved his hands quickly.
Before, Xiang Yang was almost exhausted just by making the prayer lanterns. Now if the entire project is handed over to Xiang Yang, will Xiang Yang still go out to sea
Xiang Yang felt relieved when he let Li Chao handle it.
This kind of spending money to gain publicity is actually just advertising. Even if Village Chief Zuo does it himself, he may still cut corners.
Xiang Yang would feel most at ease if he let Li Chao handle it.
Because apart from Xiang Yang, Li Chao was the one who most wanted to promote Qinglong Bend.
Whether it is his seaside hotel or his cruise plan, it requires a lot of money to advertise.
"How is the publicity work going?" Xiang Yang asked.
"We've already advertised it. In addition to the three fire dragons from your Yanlong Village, your town, and my employees, there are also students from various university towns in Longcheng, factories from several companies, and fire dragons organized spontaneously. There are at least 20 fire dragons registered for the fire dragon dance."
"At the same time, I have also contacted various news media, newspapers, and self-media studios in Longcheng City. It will definitely become a hit by then." Zhang Qicheng also said.
