"Hull, we're going to have a new man on board!" At some point, Matt and Qi Yiming both stood behind Bei Hai and looked at the energetic figure of the busy young man on the asterisk deck.

"Yes, it's not okay to be old!" Qi Yiming also said, although he said that he took three fishing gear to take back the second time, but the two times are not much worse than the labor intensity, the asterisk is ninety-one catches, and he is sixty-seven here, although the value is more than twice as high as the asterisk, but the effort spent is honestly about the same.

"Hmmm! I'm thinking about this too! Bei Hai listened to the words of the two and nodded slightly. This is a real situation that cannot be avoided by Bei Hai.

Matt couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of this, a good job that made a lot of money was taken into his hands, but his body couldn't last a few years according to this, maybe he could work for a few years with his own body on other cable boats, but the labor intensity on the Arrow couldn't last a few years! Maybe I will have to say to the young captain to leave this fishing season!

Bei Hai is not a wizard who can guess Matt's thoughts, and directly said his thoughts to the two: "If you want to add, you should give priority to supplementing the people on the asterisk, don't say that you will mention this matter after a while." The income on the Arrow is clear to anyone who looks at it and is a cut higher than the income of the sailors on the Asterisk, and the difference in the price of the catch between the two ships is nothing compared here!

Matt also nodded and said, "It should be like this!" ”。 For Matt, newcomers can't always come to a high-paying position all at once! Come over the 'old man' who used to be together.

Qi Yiming had no objection to such a decision, but said with emotion: "It is estimated that I won't be able to work on the Arrow for a few years, and my body in my thirties will feel a little unsupportable!" ”。

Originally, Qi Yiming also said in passing, it is no problem to work for ten years with such an intensity of the body in his thirties, if the income given by Bei Hai for ten years is not enough for Qi Yiming to live the rest of his life, it can only be said that Qi Yiming is used to living a big life. I can't blame others!

Matt heard Qi Yiming say this, and his heart was worried, Qi Yiming sighed, but it was an imminent thing to put in front of him.

Bei Hai said casually: "I'm not going to float on the sea like this, how many years can you still drift?" Could it be that you really want to rely on the sky for the rest of your life? When I save some money, we'll do something else. It's better to be on this sea all day than to be bumpy all day! ”。

"Huh?" Matt's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he instinctively asked, "What are we going to do?" If I don't fish, I won't do anything else! ”。

"Can't you keep fish?" Bei Hai said.

"Fish farming?" As soon as he heard the fish farming, Matt's bright eyes couldn't help but darken a little more. Americans really don't like to do fish farming, and they haven't raised a few kinds of fish until now, and fish farming takes no less energy than fishing, but all year round. But thinking that I'm in my sixties, who wants to do some other work! He opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of fish do we raise?" ”。

"You have to raise something valuable, like the Marbury Blue Dragon or the King Crab, you can't raise tilapia! It's better to go to sea to make that little money," Bei Hai said.

As soon as he heard this, Matt's eyes couldn't help but light up again, and when he heard Bei Hai mention Marbury's blue dragon or king crab, even Qi Yiming's eyes lit up.

"Do you know how to raise this?" Matt asked.

"I have a plan, I'm researching, but for now, I'm going to make money first. You stick to a maximum of two fishing seasons. We don't have to suffer this bird sin," Bei Hai said, pointing to the sea.

"No, do you want to go back to the cabin and rest for a while, now we're ready to go back and collect our fishing gear!" Bei Hai said and looked at the diligent figures of the four young men who were busy on the opposite deck: "If you stay any longer, these guys will almost treat the deck as a pie duì field!" ”。

"No, I'm a little tickled to see these lads so enthusiastic," Matt said with a laugh.

Just as the three of Bei Hai were talking, another bigeye tuna and a small bluefin tuna were dragged onto the deck, so that a bluefin tuna was worth four swordfish of the same size, and the price of bigeye tuna was also one to two.

Bei Hai can hear the four boys on the deck shouting tunatuna from here! That is, the nickname of tuna.

Returning to his own sea, the two sailors on the Arrow, Qi Yiming and Matt, began to get busy, and at this time, Bei Hai also joined the deck work. Bei Hai was in charge of the work of the reeling line.

The three groups of fishing gear are destined to be another bumper harvest, with a total of eight of the fattest tuna, as well as six ordinary bastard fish of average quality. The three of them worked together for hours before putting all the fish in the cabin. Then three sets of fishing gear were laid out into the sea again.

"Matt, when the cabin is almost full, the fish of this quality will not need to be stored in an ultra-low temperature way, and will be directly stored in the freezing method!" Bei Hai sat on the bridge and took a big sip of coffee, rushed the burger in his mouth into his stomach, and then said to Matt and Qi Yiming who were sitting in front of him.

The three of them were busy until the afternoon, and then they got together for lunch, which can't be considered lunch, and it may not be impossible to say that it is dinner. Originally, Bei Hai didn't eat hamburgers, but he couldn't eat them before after making a little more money. Bei Hai was no longer interested in such simple food.

But right now, everybody's busy. For a few hours, I would rather lie down than move more, and cooking can only be done. Although it is the spoon of the sea lord, Mr. Captain has no interest in cooking at the moment, so he directly fried a few squid fillets and bacon, and got a few slices of lettuce, and then used a few pieces of bread to count it as rice!

Although it was simple, the three people who got together on the bridge still ate and devoured it.

"Captain I know!" Matt listened to Bei Hai and said. As an old fisherman, Matt of course knows that the ship is full and it is certain to return to the port, and seeing that if you want to return to the port, then the tuna must be changed from ultra-low temperature to cryo, after all, the price of frozen is cheaper than ultra-low temperature, and as far as sailors are concerned, frozen is a little more trouble-free, why not!

Frozen tuna, also known as chilled tuna, refers to the fish after the outside is processed and put into zero degree ice or zero degree water preservation, this preservation method is called freeze storage, tuna fishing boats almost all use this method, so that the preservation of tuna is not long, and the requirements for the transportation process are very strict, the quality is also the best and freshest, of course, the price is also the highest.

Ultra-low temperature freezing is the most common method, suitable for long-term storage, now the arrow can be used on this preservation method, before the fish body does not become stiff put in the quick-freezing cabin, at a temperature of minus 60 degrees after a few hours, and then moved to the normal storage tank of minus 55 degrees, such fish quality is slightly inferior to chilled tuna, but the preservation time can be as long as two years.

"Are we really not going to return now? The price of tuna has risen a lot today, growing by $4 per pound! Matt said that while everyone was busy, Bei Hai got the news that the price of tuna in the Tokyo market had risen by four dollars per pound overnight.

"It's not fun to run back and forth!" Bei Hai directly denied the practice of returning to Hong Kong now, and stayed in this sea area to concentrate on fishing. Even if it is to return to the nearest port, it will take a day and a half to go back and forth for three days, in Bei Hai's opinion, there is no need to grab this pound of four dollars, for others, the ice is rich, and for Bei Hai, three days is more important.

Bei Hai was just about to talk to Matt when he heard the satellite phone ringing, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was not the star calling, but the captain of the Luna, Grover. Fishing in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean is not like fishing off the coast alone, although Bei Hai has two boats under his command, but for the owners of longline fishing boats, there are not a few of them, and the captains and owners of longline fishing boats are more united when facing the sea. Bei Hai also followed the local customs, and mixed and matched with several captains to go to sea, as if forming a small fleet that took care of each other.

I have to say that compared to tuna fishing boats, Bei Hai prefers the captains of these sub-longline fishing boats. The overall feeling for Bei Hai is that the captain is very polite with each other, and he is very respectful of other people's 'sea territory'. When he started fishing for tuna, what Bei Hai hated the most was that someone came to him, but although there were boats passing by his boat in the Atlantic, they were all out of sight after saying hello, and no other fishing boats would appear within a dozen miles of him. A group of people who know the rules very well.

Captain Grover is a Connecticut fisherman who is a bit careful about swordfish, and his catch is good every year! Of course, Bei Hai didn't know this, and he could remember his name because of the number on the satellite phone he saw. Bei Hai thinks these captains are good, but it doesn't mean that Bei Hai wants to mix with them! Bei Hai felt that he was here to rob money, not to make friends in this unlucky Atlantic, if he made friends, he might as well go ashore, at least it was not so bumpy at sea.

"Hull, how's the catch?" As soon as the phone rang, Grover asked directly.

"Okay, how are you doing over there?"

"It's satisfying!" Grover talked about the situation on his side for a moment, and then asked Bei Hai again, "Found a school of tuna?" ”。

"Sort of!".

……

The two chatted for about five or six minutes before hanging up.

Bei Hai continued to eat, while Grover put down the phone and turned on the intercom to chat with the two captains moored in the waters close to him.

"How's the new fishing method over there going on?"

"Listen to him well!".

"Will he return to Hong Kong tomorrow?"

"He said he would not return to Hong Kong to sell fish."

"If it's not a bad catch, it's a good catch! I bet the catch is too good! ”。 The captains are all shrewd people, and after a little analysis, they guessed that the catch on the Beihai Arrow must be very good. (To be continued)
