At this time, a large group of people rushed over from the dock.
The leader was Xu Fang, who led many crew members to Xiang Yang.
"Great, Captain, Lao Chen, you are finally back." Xu Fang had a terrified expression on his face.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Master Chen's driving skills are not bad. Although we encountered strong winds, we were safe all the way. Later, we met Uncle Shui Geng halfway. He was driving the boat, and we sailed through the wind and waves all the way without any danger."
Chen Qingsheng also smiled and nodded.
In fact, the journey was extremely dangerous, otherwise Uncle Shui Geng would not have abandoned the boat and fled. It’s just that the dangers along the way are simply not something that outsiders can understand.
"I'm glad you're back safely. Let's go quickly. It's going to rain heavily here soon." Xu Fang said.
"Well, let's go." Xiang Yang walked towards Yanlong Village surrounded by the crowd.
The storm at sea comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Until Xiang Yang returned home, the expected rainstorm did not come, and the strong wind showed a tendency to gradually decrease.
Xiang Yang sat on the coffee table with his legs crossed and said with a smile: "I feel like this strong wind is playing a trick on me."
"The wind is strong and coming quickly, which is a good thing. It means the flood season is coming." Xu Fang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "This time the wind is from the northeast. Even if there is a flood season, it has nothing to do with us."
Half a month after this time of year, the Hokkaido fishing grounds would have a bumper harvest, but for Xiang Yang, it was not a good thing.
"Captain, why are you so honest? Hokkaido's fishing ground is so big. If we don't go into other people's territorial waters, we can just go to the edge of the high seas and catch a lot of fish. Even if we cross the border a little bit, who knows what will happen in such a big Hokkaido fishing ground?" Chen Qingsheng said at this time.
Xiang Yang blinked and said hesitantly, "Overstepping the line? That's not a good idea."
Many fishermen have the habit of fishing beyond their boundaries.
As long as we can catch more fish, it doesn't matter if there are some risks.
But for Xiang Yang, such a risk is not worth it. He can catch fish without having to risk going to the Hokkaido fishing grounds.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yang said, "It's the beginning of the flood season now, and the fish are still slowly migrating north. I think if we risk going to the Hokkaido fishing grounds, we might as well go to the southern end of Naha. There should be the most fish there now."
"Naha?" Chen Qingsheng asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Naha belonged to the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom in ancient times. It was our vassal state in history. Now it is a city in Dongyi Ryukyu. Its latitude is similar to our FZ, but it has a unique geographical environment. To its east is the Pacific Ocean. Every year, the Kuroshio Current brings it warm temperatures and rich fishery resources."
Chen Qingsheng heard this and said, "Then can we go fishing in Naha?"
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "We don't need to go to Naha. We can drive the boat to the southwest of Naha. It's the high seas and we can go there. We can block the path of the fish that are swimming towards Naha due to the Kuroshio Current. Then, we can use the nets for a few days and we will definitely be able to bring back two large boatloads of catch."
When Chen Qingsheng heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "There's no time to lose, Boss. I'll go prepare the supplies now?"
Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Two days later, the two fishing boats were resupplied.
Xiang Yang called Li Chao, and Li Chao said that his advanced diving equipment had not been obtained yet and Xiang Yang needed to wait for a while.
So Xiang Yang said that he would go to the waters south of Naha first, and after coming back, he would help him catch the royal abalone at the fishing ground.
Li Chao was naturally quite dissatisfied at first, because he didn't know when Xiang Yang would be back after he went out.
The diving equipment he rented was quite expensive, costing tens of thousands of yuan a day.
But after hearing Xiang Yang say that he wanted to go to the south of Naha, the only way to the Kuroshio Current, Li Chao immediately agreed and told Xiang Yang to go quickly and make sure to fill up the fishing boat before coming back.
Most of these marine fish that swim during the Kuroshio flood season are exhausted during the journey. This is when their muscles are the tightest, their meat tastes the best, and their fat content is the lowest. Even if it is the same fish, the price caught at this time will be at least 30% more expensive than normal times.
In other words, even if the fish Xiang Yang caught this time were not rare catches, he could directly drag them to his hotel and sell them.
The fish caught during the flood season is said to be the most delicious high-end food.
After communicating with Li Chao, Xiang Yang took the crew and prepared for the first maiden voyage after the fleet was formed.
As a result, Xiang Yang had just walked to the dock when Wu Shiwen hurried over.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, wait for me." Wu Shiwen shouted to Xiang Yang in front of him while running.
"Brother Wu, why are you here?" Xiang Yang heard the shout and stopped curiously.
"Oh, I finally caught up with you, but I was so tired." Wu Shiwen grabbed Xiang Yang's arm and gasped heavily.
Xiang Yang quickly reached out and patted Wu Shiwen on the back, "Why are you running so fast? What happened?"
Wu Shiwen took several minutes to recover. He shook his head and asked Xiang Yang, "Brother Yang, are you going out to sea?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "Two days ago I encountered a Kuroshio tide at sea. The Kuroshio tide is always followed by a flood season, so I plan to try my luck in the sea area southwest of Naha."
"Brother Yang, you are so unkind. You should bring me along to such a happy event." Wu Shiwen said in a flattering manner.
Xiang Yang burst out laughing when he heard this. "Of course I'll call you if there's something good. After all, if there's really a fishing season, let alone two or three ships, even three hundred ships can return with a full load. However, although there will always be a fishing season after the Kuroshio, Naha is surrounded on three sides and the ocean is huge. No one knows where those migrating fish are going. I'm just trying my luck if I go out, and I might not even catch a single fish."
"It's okay. I'm willing to look for it with you, Brother Yang."
"Besides, I trust your ability, Brother Yang. You will definitely be able to find the fishing grounds." Wu Shiwen said confidently.
Xiang Yang laughed dumbly, "I am not as confident as you."
"So, this time when we go out, the fish caught by single trawl will be ours to each of us, and the fish caught by double trawl will be 60% for you and 40% for me. I will pay you the cost of fish meal and canned fish according to the market price." Wu Shiwen said.
"That's not what I meant." Xiang Yang waved his hand and said, "There are many fishing boats in the waters of Naha. Except during the flood season, there are no fishery resources at all. I'm just afraid that you'll make a wasted trip with me."
