Chapter 378: The Enthusiasm of a Newbie
After more than a week of travel, a large and two small fleets finally arrived at the sea area demarcated by Beihai, which is now only the three ships of the Big Crab Claw for the time being, and the other crab and shrimp fishing boats are operating in the offshore waters near Newfoundland, and only the three ships of Beihai have reached such a remote place.
The reason why Diego and Marlene are willing to follow Bei Hai to such a far place to catch crabs is entirely out of trust in Bei Hai's unreserved superstitious boat, as for why others don't follow? If the incident that just happened a month ago can't dispel the minds of some ill-intentioned people, Bei Hai doesn't mind doing it again.
"Alright, I think this place is good, I'm going to drop four sets of cages here, you can drop the cages within half a mile of me, and I hope God will give us a good harvest, Amen!" As soon as the engine stopped, Bei Hai picked up the intercom and began to assign the range to Marlene and Diego's two boats.
"So how many sets do we throw?" Diego followed Bei Hai here, and he didn't even want to think about how many sets of cages to throw, so he opened his mouth and asked directly.
Bei Hai said without thinking: "If you like it, throw all the cages on the ground!" He laughed, but it was a joke.
"Then I'm really throwing it away!" Diego continued from Bei Hai's words.
Bei Hai had to say: "Forget it, here you just throw one group to two groups, wait for the next point you can throw a little more with me, I guess the size of the crab in me may not be so satisfying, and the underwater food should not be too rich."
"Then I'll throw a group here, and I'll keep the waiting ones and throw them over there?" Marlene also opened her mouth to ask in the intercom.
"Whatever," Bei Hai didn't bother to say. What was found in this Libei Sea was a group of smaller Marbury Blue Dragons, and when I saw the size of Bei Hai, I guessed that this group should be the second or third generation of space shrimp. It's a little small. However, as a fisherman, Bei Hai is going to get a small pad first, and then concentrate on making a big one.
Also, everyone used to catch tuna, although catching lobster and crab is a little easier than catching tuna. But after all, it's the first time, and it's all novices who want to work in an orderly way like tuna fishing, and they still need a little run-in.
"Let's all move, let's get it done early, and everyone will go home for Christmas a day early," Bei Hai said to Dygo and Marlene with a smile.
Diego listened to it and sighed twice: "You listen to the morale of the boys next to me".
As soon as Diego's words ended, Bei Hai heard a burst of giggles coming from the bridge of his ship.
"Work, work!" After Bei Hai finished speaking, he put down the intercom in his hand, and then shouted outside the deck: "Do your job, be a little sharper!" ”。
As soon as Bei Hai finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen figures running out with a smile and rushing towards the shrimp pot that was built high.
It's a little too cold outside. Bei Hai doesn't want to go to the deck or anything now, besides, the space on the deck is very limited now, and the entire deck is almost full of stacked shrimp and crab cages, which are stacked one by one and stacked directly to a height of more than six meters.
Xu Hui went to sea for the first time, and the young man was as excited as the other sailors, and he ran to the deck neatly dressed and asked Matt to assign him a task.
"Matt, you assign me a task too. Like other sailors, when the time comes, I can ask your captain for a single share of the money," Xu Hui said with a smile.
Matt listened and smiled: "I didn't expect that I would have another day to command a multimillionaire!" ”。
While talking Matt, he looked at the equipment on Xu Hui's body, and a hat from head to neck was buckled on his head, leaving only two eyes, waterproof and even chest-length water clothes with cold protection. The upper body is also wearing an orange life jacket, the cuffs and trousers should be tied up with tape, one is to prevent cold wind, the other is waterproof, and the gloves on the hands are also non-slip, no longer the ski gloves of a few days ago. This dress looks quite formal at first glance.
"What do you think you want to do?" Matt asked Xu Hui.
"I think I can do anything," Xu Hui raised his arm to make a strong gesture.
However, Old Matt didn't see this action at all, and after a little thought, he said to Xu Hui: "Then let's do it." You follow Joey, and the two of you take care of putting the bait in the cage."
"No problem!" When Xu Hui heard this, it was really simple. It's like putting an elephant in the freezer, just open the cage door and put the bait in and close the cage door.
Matt looked at Xu Hui's appearance and stretched out his hand to point to Joey at the door of the small cabin: "Then you go to find Joey." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the bridge, Matt, who had completed the assignment, wanted to replace Bei Hai, the captain, to be honest, Bei Hai had not slept for three days, and what Bei Hai needed most now was to lie down in his bed and sleep beautifully.
With Matt taking over, and the fact that there is no sunlight on the sea today, the annoying gray fog of a few days ago has disappeared, and the visibility on the sea is still quite good, and the chance of hitting an iceberg is almost equal to nothing as long as you are careful. Bei Hai naturally felt a little relieved.
Behai went back to sleep in the cabin, Matt watched the danger from the bridge of the ship, the sailors were now trying to adapt to the new way of working to the best of their ability, and old Joey looked up from time to time to observe the situation on the deck.
Xu Hui also worked very hard, and now he seems to have forgotten that he is a company with hundreds of people, so he wants to really incarnate an Atlantic fisherman, and he works very hard.
However, Xu Hui's enthusiasm was soon hit by the first wave.
"Be careful, Xu!". Almost all sailors knew what kind of foreign appearance might be as a novice on board, and when it would happen, a slightly higher wave came over and approached the side of the ship and was tying the cage to the kid and shouted at Xu Hui.
Xu Hui may have thought that this was a kind reminder to him. However, for these young sailors, there are reminders, but the main thing is to say goodbye to other sailors. The rookie on this deck may be going to look foreign.
As the wave snapped against the hull, the entire Crab Claw suddenly leaned towards the port side. And Xu Hui did not disappoint the sailors. Directly sat on the deck with a butt squat, and then the whole back just hit the 'wall' of the cage next to it.
"Ouch!"
Xu Hui's ouch made the naughty sailors very satisfied, and a few of them laughed.
Qi Yiming's brother-in-law Kang Li, who was standing not far from Xu Hui? Egged walked over while being happy, stretched out his hand to Xu Hui and pulled him up from the deck: "You won't be able to adapt to the work on the deck if you don't fall apart, but you're already good, at least you haven't vomited yet, you're a lot better than McCan's when he just got on the boat!" ”。
After speaking, he patted Xu Hui on the back with his other hand, and then returned to his work point and began to take the cage off the top with his co-workers and put it in front of Xu Hui.
"How can this little difficulty be difficult for me!" Xu Hui looked at the cage sent by Kang Li, directly reached out and grabbed a handful of bait from the bucket and put it in the cage, and after closing it, he followed the example of old Joy just now and stepped on the side with his hand, and the cage would slide towards the destination.
I have to say that Xu Hui's idea is very good. However, the implementation was wrong, and the cage did not slide in front of Isla, but instead slipped towards itself. Just because the hull of the boat shook slightly, not only did Xu Hui squat again, but he was also smashed by the cage that slipped over.
The weight of the entire cage was not light, and it crashed along the deck and directly knocked Xu Hui into the mouth.
Seeing that the cage crashed into Xu Hui, several sailors who were paying attention immediately subconsciously shouted: "Be careful! At the same time, the two closest people walked towards this side to hold something.
After taking the cage, Kang Li immediately asked with concern, "How is it?" ”。
"It's okay!" Xu Hui stood up and rubbed his buttocks and said, although he said so, he still inhaled in pain in his heart, and the size of the entire cage was also thirty pounds smaller. It's weird that it doesn't hurt to bump into it all of a sudden.
Kang Li looked at Xu Hui and said: "I think you should learn how to stand on the deck first, the Guan Qi here is not like the time to catch tuna, and it is impossible to go out to sea to play!" If you keep doing this like this, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
While talking to Kang Li, he briefly checked Xu Hui's wrist to see if there was anything abnormal.
"It's okay!" Xu Hui is not a person who admits defeat lightly, and after listening to Kang Li's words, he did not have the intention of retreating, but instead aroused the fighting spirit in his heart. After shaking his hands twice, he threw himself into the work.
Xu Hui immediately became a lot more careful after squatting and falling twice, and no longer imitated the handsome movements of the sailors, but honestly used the stupidest method. Standing against the wall of the cage with its feet about 100 degrees apart, he supports his body with his two feet and the wall of the shrimp and crab pot behind him. Although it looks a little ugly, the chance of wrestling is greatly reduced.
When all the shrimp and crab cages are loaded with bait, and then pushed to the stern. Joey gestured to Matt on the bridge, and in less than a minute the Crab Claws was activated, and then the whole ship slowly moved.
"Push the cage down!" Joey called out to the two sailors standing at the stern, motioning for them to open the stern ramp.
Usually the stern of the shrimp fishing boat has such a design, this side is like a very high side when enclosed, but when the cage is released, the hinch on both sides of the ship's gangway and the sea surface become a slope of about five or six degrees, so that as long as you push down a cage, then the remaining cage does not need to be moved, and the remaining cage can be pulled into the sea by the gravity of the cage entering the sea.
The first set of cages went to sea, and almost all the sailors stuck their heads out to watch the first set of cages enter the sea. Just when the last cage slipped into the sea, a sudden danger happened, the little Mike on the deck slipped under his feet due to a wave, and walked two or three steps forward to stabilize his body, the body was stable, but one foot stepped into the cage that was sliding into the sea, connected to the rope loop composed of the rope head, the rope circle because of the gravity of a group of cages rapidly reduced the number of laps, and when it rolled up to Little Mike's ankle, it was a slight pause, and then he directly dragged Little Mike's body into the sea and sank.
Everyone didn't react at all, and little Mike was dragged into the sea by the rope wrapped around his ankle, and even little Mike just shouted ah, and fell into the icy North Atlantic.
When he saw this scene, Xu Hui suddenly became stupid, looking at the place where little Mike slid into the sea with motionless eyes, and even the shouts of the crew next to him seemed to be inaudible, so he just stood with his eyes wide open and then grabbed the shrimp and crab cage next to him without moving, like a statue.
