After the yacht had sailed thirty nautical miles at night, the captain was ready to let the crew cast the net. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many such tourist boats at the S City Pier, and the captain and crew are hired by the owner of the boat, but after the ship is launched, the captain is not just taking the passengers out to sea, they will also use the fishing boat to catch seafood at sea as a way to go abroad.

The amount of seafood the crew catches is a matter of luck, and the extra income does not need to be handed over to the ship's owner, only a few employees on board to share it according to their work.

Even Zheng Huaqing's yacht was the same, with a crew of six or seven on board, and in addition to the helmsman, there were six sailors who were responsible for other aspects of the hull.

These sailors have friendly personalities and a good service attitude, but for them, Huo Sining and others are not very attractive, because how much money they earn is the employer's, and they are just wage earners.

For them, the most valuable thing is at sea.

Of course, as long as the crew can drive the fishing boat without making mistakes, Zheng Huaqing will not care how many seafood they can catch, nor will he be harsh on them, and even when there is no harvest, Zheng Huaqing will give them additional subsidies.

This is also the reason why these crew members respect Zheng Huaqing very much, Zheng Huaqing treats his employees very well, so the crew members are also conscientious in their work.

The speed of the fishing boat slowed down, and except for the helmsman who drove the boat, the other crew members came to the deck, and the nets were cast and ready, waiting for the captain's order to lower the nets.

Hearing that the fishing boat was about to cast its nets, Huo Sining and several people ran to the stern of the boat to watch, waiting with anticrative expectations for the moment when the fishing nets were caught.

It is winter for fishing boats to lower their nets, and most of the fish in the offshore waters follow the currents in pairs, so the nets should also be lowered according to the direction and route of the currents.

This is to be judged by the old captain's decades of experience in sea navigation, the old captain was very experienced, looked at the sea, and soon gave the order to cast the net.

Several crew members who received the order quickly dropped the fishing nets in their hands.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the net was pulled up.

But to everyone's disappointment, this net was collected, and in addition to crabs and small shrimps, there were not a few fish stuck to the net, and the total was less than ten catties of seafood.

Huo Sining and the others couldn't cry or laugh when they saw it, before the captain said that they didn't have any concept when they couldn't make ends meet when they were fishing, but now when they saw this situation, they were completely speechless.

They can't even catch fish with fishing nets, so can they go out to sea to fish?

The old captain calmly gathered all the fish in the fishing net into an iron bucket, and after less than half an hour, let the crew put down the second net.

Seeing the few seafoods, even Zheng Huaqing couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, he had already prepared, and let people buy a lot of fresh vegetables and vegetables during the day and put them on the yacht for backup, otherwise this little shrimp and crab will be made a table of dishes at this time, and the cooking master will have to die of worry.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if the cooking master's skills are behind him, and there are no materials, she can't make a feast.

This time back on the ship are all distinguished guests, Zheng Hua had explained earlier, let the chef play the highest level, absolutely not snub this group of guests, of course, the cooking master must be careful to deal with, for fear of mistakes.

However, to the helplessness of the chef, this group of guests was not interested in his land ingredients at all, and unanimously asked him to cook seafood, and also designated to eat the shrimp soldiers and crabs that had just been caught.

The master got Zheng Huaqing's signal, and then cleaned the shrimp and crabs and steamed them in the pot.

Dinner didn't start until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, but everyone didn't mind, but they were very happy while blowing the sea breeze and laughing wildly.

The dishes are very delicate, but the most popular ones are the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Although those seafood looked dirty when they were first hit, they tasted very fresh, and even Bai Yishan, who didn't eat much seafood, ate a lot.

At night, the yacht kept moving, and by three o'clock in the morning, the yacht had traveled nearly two hundred kilometers and reached the critical point of the high seas.

The term "high seas" refers to all the sea areas that are not included in the exclusive economic zone, territorial sea or internal waters of a State or the archipelagic waters of an archipelagic State, in short, the part of the ocean that is not subject to the sovereign jurisdiction of a State.

The high seas are free and open to all countries, and it is free to engage in activities not prohibited by international law on the high seas, including gambling activities prohibited by domestic laws, so more and more people are going to the high seas to participate in gambling.

There is even a special high seas tourism industry in Xiangjiang, although it is under the banner of tourism, but in fact it is gambling, and even the gambling king He Hongjie has bought a giant oil tanker to join the team of gambling on the high seas.

Of course, Zheng Huaqing did not have such a hobby, and he bought this yacht just to fish on the high seas.

The International Convention on the Sea stipulates that an area beyond 200 nautical miles from an island or coast is considered to be on the high seas, and a ship is considered to have reached the high seas if it travels 200 nautical miles out of the inland sea.

Once on the high seas, the ship must fly the national flag to prove the ship's identity, otherwise it will be considered a stateless vessel and will not be treated fairly after a collision or other accident.

So at this time, the old captain asked the crew on duty to go to the deck to raise the national flag, and then the ship was stopped at sea and returned to the cabin to rest.

At five o'clock the next day, Su Qingqing was the first to wake up from her dream, took seasickness medicine and slept all night, her spirit really improved a lot, her whole face recovered, and she ran to the deck to see the ship stopped at sea.

"Wow, sunrise! Come out and watch the sunrise!"

Su Qingqing shouted, and everyone else also got up one after another.

The sky was not yet bright, the sky was light blue, the sea was very calm, there was only a red glow where the sky and water met, and slowly the red glow filled the sky, and a red sun that emitted a soft halo slowly rose from the horizon.

"It's so beautiful!" Bai Yishan was still wrapped in a blanket, but her eyes were fixed on the distance, "It would be nice if there was a piece of blue and red jade, I must carve such a beautiful scene." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sining couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Bai Yishan is really a workaholic, and she doesn't forget her own job when she goes on vacation.

Su Qingqing didn't get seasick, the whole person was excited, she didn't stop running up and down the boat, she didn't see the crew fishing last night, she was so anxious at this time, she couldn't wait to pull up the fishing net by herself.

After a few crew members finished breakfast, they started work unhurriedly.

Because of the fishing nets released at night, several hours have passed by this time, and the boat has sailed to the open sea, and the fish in this area have gradually increased, so after this net is pulled up, the harvest is really quite a lot. (To be continued.) )
