Chen Qingsheng was quite speechless, "What are you looking at? The two big ones are humpback whales, and the small one is a killer whale. How come it's a baby?"
"Killer whale?"
Zhuo Shao and the other two hurriedly looked in that direction carefully.
Sure enough, following behind the two humpback whales was a black and white killer whale, and it was an adult killer whale.
"I heard that humpback whales and killer whales are natural enemies of each other. Why is this killer whale staying with these two humpback whales?" asked Zhuo Shao.
"That killer whale got separated from the herd. A single killer whale is very timid. Maybe the two humpback whales thought that a killer whale was not a threat, so they let it follow them." Xiang Yang lied.
"So that's how it is." Zhuo Shao said in surprise.
Three whales swam around the fishing boat, occasionally rushing out of the water and then falling heavily onto the sea, causing the three tourists to exclaim in surprise.
Xiang Yang took some squids from the cabin and fed the three whales.
When Zhuo Shao saw this, he exclaimed, "Fuck, Boss Xiang, you feed such an expensive octopus to a whale?"
Such expensive octopus
Xiang Yang was stunned. Is octopus very expensive
Then Xiang Yang realized that, yes, this Master Zhuo came from an inland city. In the inland, octopus is indeed not cheap, and they are all dried goods.
"Octopus is very cheap on our beach. If you like it, you can take some back when you leave. However, I guess you probably don't like eating octopus." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"You guessed wrong. We all like to eat octopus, especially when we use it to make chicken soup. The taste is so delicious. Boss Xiang, how cheap is this price you mentioned?" asked Zhuo Shao.
Xiang Yang was speechless: "If you like eating them, you can't even tell the difference between octopus and squid. These are squids in my hand. I don't have any octopus on my boat, but there are a lot of them in the village. You can just give me a little reward for your hard work."
In fact, although octopus and squid look similar, they are easy to tell apart. Without knowing their morphology and biological characteristics, you only need to remember that the one sold on the street teppanyaki is squid, and the one used to make chicken soup is octopus, and you can tell them apart.
Xiang Yang just poured a box of squid into the sea and then stopped.
These two humpback whales and one killer whale still have to rely on hunting for their own food if they want to eat their fill.
If Xiang Yang were the only one to feed them, he really couldn't afford to support these three big guys.
“Woo—”
When the male humpback whale saw that Xiang Yang no longer had the box of squids in his hand, he immediately knew that his snack was gone. He made a melodious whale call, then swung his big tail, creating a wave more than three meters high, and began to play around the fishing boat.
"Master Xu." Xiang Yang picked up the intercom and shouted into it, "Slow down the boat a little, we'll shake off these whales, and then cast a net."
The two humpback whales have become familiar with Xiang Yang. They know that when the fishing boat speeds up, it means Xiang Yang is about to work. At this time, they will follow from a distance and not disturb Xiang Yang while he is fishing.
Xu Fang received Xiang Yang's order and immediately controlled the fishing boat to speed up.
At this time, Chen Qingsheng whispered: "Captain, I'm afraid we can't cast the net. There are only a dozen people on our ship now, and most of them are from the engine room."
"Huh?" Xiang Yang turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, there were only a few people standing on the deck.
"Forget it." Xiang Yang shrugged his shoulders, picked up the intercom and said to Xu Fang: "Master Xu, let's not cast the net. Let's drive the boat to the underwater beach where turbot is abundant. I'll take Master Zhuo and the others to the bottom of the sea for a stroll."
Many of the equipment on Xiang Yang's large ocean-going fishing vessel are fully automatic, which does not mean that the nets cannot be cast due to the lack of people.
Able to cast a net.
But it is a waste, the trawling time is short, no fish are caught, and the fuel cost is not worth it.
Even if the fish were pulled up, with so few people, there was not enough time to clean the catch. In the end, the wasted catch piled up on the deck, making the deck full of fishy smell.
Zhuo Shao and his two companions were slightly disappointed. They had never seen how fishermen cast their nets and they really wanted to see it for themselves.
However, when they thought about being able to go to the bottom of the sea for a stroll, they immediately became excited again. Watching others cast nets is not as interesting as going to the bottom of the sea by themselves.
"Boss Xiang, can we go down to the bottom of the sea together to take a look?" asked Zhuo Shao.
"Of course, but it will cost you a little money." Xiang Yang originally wanted to agree without hesitation, as he had enough money to rent diving equipment. However, as soon as he said this, Xiang Yang realized that the diving project would appear in Qinglongwan as a tourist project in the future.
Xiang Yang doesn't lack these few dollars, but the villagers do.
Many villagers are now ready to make some money from diving projects.
Xiang Yang cannot be the good guy himself and let the villagers be the bad guys.
Not to mention that the villagers would be suspicious if they knew about this, the crew on the ship might also have opinions, because the crew did not use Xiang Yang's diving equipment in vain. The fish caught by the crew using the diving equipment generally belonged to Xiang Yang, and most of the time they only got a little bonus and red envelope.
Thinking about it this way, I really can't just agree to them for no reason, because it will do more harm than good.
So when the words came to his lips, Xiang Yang added that he would charge some rental for the equipment.
"How much per hour?" Zhuo Shao asked immediately.
Before they went out, they also prepared a budget. Diving is such a novel activity, so as long as the price is within their affordability, of course they have to give it a try. Otherwise, wouldn't the trip to the sea be in vain
"One hundred yuan an hour, and half of what you catch from the bottom of the sea will belong to me. If you catch something from the bottom of the sea, you can sell it directly to me at half the price. If you want to take it back, you can also pay me half of the price." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Zhuo Shao immediately took out the money and said, "Here's two hundred yuan. I'll go down and play for two hours."
Fatty Xuan and Boss Lin also paid.
They didn't bother with the fact that they had already paid for the equipment rental and had to give Xiang Yang half of what they fished out from the seabed.
Since Xiang Yang did not charge them for the boat fare when he brought them out, he naturally had no obligation to carry the fish they caught.
In fact, they still made money.
Because Xiang Yang took them out for a walk this time because they were the first group of wild tourists in Qinglongwan.
If you really calculate the cost, for such a big ship, the rental fee for just one trip would be a huge amount, right
Not to mention the wages of the employees on board and the fuel costs for a trip.
Fortunately, these three people were quite sensible. After paying the rental for the diving equipment, no one asked Xiang Yang why they should give half of what they had caught to Xiang Yang for no reason.
