SWNOVELXO Chapter 193
"Everyone, please work hard. We will collect another round in the afternoon. We will not work in the evening. I will ask Zijin to prepare a feast for everyone."
After collecting a round of crab cages, Chu Yang immediately distributed a bag of lotus flowers to each person.
"No problem." Zhang Hongtao was the first to speak.
In fact, Chu Yang did not need to tell them to rest now, but they would not want to.
The crew members on Minquanyu 1688 are not paid a fixed salary. Everyone gets a share.
The lowest Sun Qingyun and Sun Qinglei also have 2 points. This batch of lobsters can get at least 2,000, which is equivalent to their previous two or three months' salary.
This speed of making money is the same as that of the legendary Alaskan crab fishermen.
Two hours later, as the sky gradually darkened, the crew began to collect the second round of crab cages.
Soon, the first crab cage was pulled ashore.
The harvest was actually not bad. There was a lobster weighing more than 1 jin and two swimming crabs weighing 300-400 liang. Two or three hundred yuan was a sure thing.
"Okay, okay." Chu Yang nodded happily.
Although the harvest from the crab cages was not comparable to the first round, this was what he caught with his own hands, and it had nothing to do with the system. It was already quite good to have this harvest.
It's like playing a game. If you cheat and become a king, it's not much different from reaching diamond by yourself.
Continue to collect crab cages, the second one is not so optimistic.
A few skinny little crabs, no lobsters were seen.
The third, fourth, fifth...
A few minutes after 8 o'clock, all 15 crab cages in the second round were finally collected.
Chu Yang counted the harvest of this round and was generally quite satisfied.
There were 8 lobsters in total, almost one in two cages, the small ones were 70-80 grams, the big ones were more than 3 catties, and the total was about 11 or 12 catties, which was 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
There were also more than 20 catties of large swimming crabs, which could also be sold for 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.
After this round of crab cages, it is estimated that 4,000 yuan can be collected, which is quite good.
Chu Yang simply ordered another round of crab cages to be unloaded, and then he invited everyone to have dinner.
The crew had no objection at all, who would have a problem with money?
What's there to be afraid of if you're tired? If you're afraid of being tired, you won't come with the boat. Isn't it tiring to go to the sea and dig snails at the beach? Isn't it tiring to carry bags at the dock?
Fishermen are not afraid of being tired, but of being poor!
At 10 o'clock that night, the lights were bright on the Minquanyu 1688 fishing boat.
On the main deck of the fishing boat, two square tables were temporarily put together to form a long dining table. On one side of the table was a gurgling simmering hot pot, and on the other side were stacked plates of barbecue.
Grilled mushrooms, grilled vegetables, lamb skewers, lamb fat skewers, beef skewers, and pork belly.
"Thanks for your hard work today, come on, let's toast together, Chelsea!"
Chu Yang raised his glass and said.
"Cheers!"
"Chels~"
Ton ton ton~ton ton ton~
After raising a glass, Chu Yang let everyone do whatever they wanted.
The fishermen were all big eaters, and they were busy from the afternoon until the evening, so they were all very hungry. No one was polite, and they ate the food on the table like a whirlwind.
Palm-wide fat beef rolls, three-liang skewers of lamb, and pork belly bigger than a child's face, all finished in one gulp!
Fortunately, they prepared this by themselves. If they followed the quantity of the barbecue stall, each of them would have to order at least two or three hundred skewers.
"Save some space for everyone, there will be good things later." Chu Yang reminded with a smile.
After saying that, he picked up a string of grilled squid tentacles, stuffed it into his mouth, closed his teeth, and pulled his hand again.
Crunch~
I have to say that this freshly caught squid tastes great, refreshing and chewy, full of freshness, and paired with cumin powder and chili powder, it is so crispy when chewed.
After eating the squid skewers, he took a roasted golden and oily horsehead fish to eat.
The barbecued horsehead fish are all small, about the size of a palm. After cutting, they are brushed with oil and roasted, then brushed with sauce, sprinkled with chili powder and chopped green onions, and finally some white sesame seeds. When you take a bite, the garlic meat explodes in your mouth, spicy and tender, much better than the small yellow croaker in the food stalls.
Chu Yang asked others to save their stomachs, but he ate a lot, a skewer of barbecue and a beer, and the gout set meal was so enjoyable.
"Ayang, come and have a toast."
Zhang Hongtao came over, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a grilled fish in the other, with a circle of oil around his lips.
He is the best eater on the boat besides Chu Yang. He only eats the grilled seafood. His breath smells of seafood.
"Haha, okay, let's go. You're lucky today." Chu Yang clinked glasses with him.
The largest lobster today was caught by Zhang Hongtao. It was 80 cm long, 3980 grams, and nearly 8 jin in weight. It was a real giant.
"Hehe, that's right. I've always had good luck." Zhang Hongtao took a sip of wine and said proudly.Zhang Hongtao started a good game, and the other crew members followed suit, taking turns to toast Chu Yang with bottles of wine.
Chu Yang also accepted all the drinks, after all, it was beer, so he stood on the bow and untied his belt, and urinated in one go.
He drank seven or eight bottles of beer and urinated four or five times.
At this time, the highlight of the dinner came.
Plates of red lobsters were served on the table, grilled, garlic vermicelli, cheese, pepper and salt...
"Sai Linmu, Ayang, I'm going to kill you."
Zhang Hongtao shouted wildly.
Sun Qingyun and Sun Qinglei were amazed. They thought that today's dinner was already rich enough, but they didn't expect there would be something even more amazing.
"So generous!"
Although the lobster was a normal size, it cost hundreds or thousands of yuan.
If it were a normal ship owner, he would not be willing to treat the crew with this stuff. It would be good to have horsehead fish that cost more than ten yuan per pound, and forget about beef and mutton.
Sun Qingjun looked calm. He had guessed long ago that Chu Yang would take out two lobsters to taste after catching so many lobsters.
As long as the biggest ones are not touched, leave it to him!
After sighing, he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of steamed lobster meat with garlic the size of a baby's fist and stuffed it into his mouth.
Oh my god~ It smells so good!
After eating for two hours, Chu Yang left the scene first, wiped his body with cold water, and climbed into bed to sleep.
At 5 o'clock the next morning, he vaguely heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and knew that the crew had gotten up and were ready to work.
Life at sea is like this. It is quite good to sleep for more than 5 hours a night. Sometimes when there is a fishing season, it is normal to work all night long.
Chu Yang, the ship owner, didn't have to get up so early. In fact, if he didn't have to open the treasure chest, he wouldn't have to go with the ship. Sun Qingjun, Sun Qingyun and Sun Qinglei, plus two sailors, could make a fishing boat run normally.
He dozed off for a while until the sunset shone in from the window and hit Chu Yang's face. He finally got up with a yawn.
He looked at the time and it was only 5:40.
Damn, the sunrise at sea is really early. I don't know how people in high latitudes adapt to it. The nights are so long in winter and the days are so long in summer. I can't sleep well.
