One by one, the shrimp traps were pulled up, and the smiles on the faces of the fishermen grew.

The fifty boxes of the first cage were pulled up, and almost all of them were fully loaded, with a total of sixty or seventy lobsters inside. There is at least one lobster in each box, and there are two more, an absolute harvest!

"We're so lucky!" A fisherman couldn't help but sigh.

The bull glared at him and said, "You're as stupid as a lobster, are we lucky?" No, it's the captain's family heirloom spell! ”

The cigarette gun nodded with his pipe in his mouth and said, "Well, the bull is a good horseman!" ”

Hearing this, the group laughed, and the bull said unconvinced: "Isn't it? ”

Qin Shiou smiled and patted him on the shoulder to signal not to get excited, and said, "I'm also lucky, no matter how powerful the spell is, it depends more on God's will." ”

In North America, there is this advantage, when you encounter something lazy or unexplainable, you can just say 'God's will'.

Lobsters are stupid, or rather, they're greedy. In fact, according to Canadian government regulations, these shrimp pots have two openings, one on the front and the other on the side.

In this way, the lobster gets into the cage and can escape ~5 times as long as it turns, which is done to protect the renewable use of lobster resources.

But lobsters that burrow into the cage rarely escape, they are not good at swimming, they are lazy and greedy overall, they eat the bait in the cage with relish, and when they are full, the rest is to rest.

The lobsters are roughly divided according to their size, and five fishermen keep taking out the lobsters and throwing them into the cart, and two people are responsible for sending the cart into the ice cabin.

After pulling on a cage string. Qin Shiou instructed Sha Ke to continue to move to the next one, so that he could pull a string of cages in about twenty minutes. An hour and a half later, the first harvest was over.

200 cages, because the shrimp traps placed by Qin Shiou are located exactly on their migration route. So a bumper harvest was achieved, and three hundred small lobsters were harvested at once.

The bull asked the bongs to estimate their weight, and the bongs groaned, "About five hundred kilograms." ”

Hearing this, the fishermen cheered again, and the bull's face turned red, and he slammed the side of the boat and shouted, 'Yay'.

500 kilograms of lobster is thousands of pounds, and now the price of lobster has soared, even if it is wholesale at the seaport, a pound has risen to more than 20 yuan.

That's how it goes. Thousands of pounds of lobsters are 20,000 yuan, and each of them can get more than 500 yuan.

More than 500 yuan is not much, but this is just a trip to collect the cage. During the day, the cage can be harvested quickly, and it can be harvested once in half a day, so that it can be harvested about three times a day, and it is optimistic that you can harvest 1,500 yuan a day!

Qin Shiou felt that 20,000 yuan was nothing, even for the maintenance of the Porsche 918, it was more than so much money.

Seeing that the fishermen were happy, he simply asked them to be more happy and waved them quietly. Then he said, "This is our first harvest, and I have decided to give you all the money!" ”

"All the money from the sale of 500 kilograms of lobsters is given to us?!"

"Yes, you distribute it yourself, and the bongs and shaq are responsible."

Qin Shiou nodded affirmatively and said. As soon as the words fell, the fishermen ran over and grabbed him to carry him to their shoulders.

By this time, the sky was completely bright, and the pale golden sunlight was shining on the sea. Sprinkled on the faces of these fishermen, who are particularly rough due to the wind and rain, it is particularly gentle.

After the harvest. Qin Shiou immediately commanded the shrimp cage to move forward for more than ten kilometers and continue to put it into the sea, and his target this time was this group of migratory lobsters. Four or five thousand is enough.

With Qin Shiou's promise, the fishermen worked harder and respected him more.

Shaq reminded: "Boss, we have already discussed the profit distribution standard in advance, you don't need to come up with so much money, the price we started to give is very fair." ”

Qin Shiou said I understand, it's all small money, it's nothing, everyone is happy.

Of course, he did this not only to be happy, but also to let these fishermen know that he could make a lot of money by following him Qin Shiou.

His fishing grounds are about to start harvesting in the spring of this year, and Qin Shiou now only has four fishermen under his command, which is far from enough. Normally, fishermen are hired to work on a temporary basis during the harvest period, which is the most cost-effective and efficient way to do so.

Qin Shiou is not ready to do this, he wants to build a strong fisherman team with Shaq and Nielsen as the core.

The ten people with smoking guns may not have the best physique and technique among fishermen, but Qin Shiou takes a fancy to their hearts, these people are willing to volunteer to help the town repair the church, and they are all very good, which is very precious.

This time at sea, Qin Shiou would let ten people make a lot of money, and then tie them to fishing boats. Capitalist society is like this, you have to be able to make your people follow you to make money, so that you can win people's hearts.

Putting down the shrimp trap, Qin Shiou led the fishermen to continue their work, this time catching haddock.

After the sky cleared, Qin Shiou found that there were many more fishing boats on the sea, most of them were shrimp fishing boats, and he counted no less than forty boats all the way over!

"So many lobsters?" Qin Shiou took the binoculars and looked around, and there were many ball buoys of all kinds and sizes floating on the sea.

The cigarette gun held the pipe and said vaguely, "What is this?" The Gulf of St. Lawrence produces 9,000 tonnes of lobsters every year! If it weren't for the storm raging the day before yesterday, all the boats would have stayed here, and there would have been at least 200,000 shrimp pots in the entire Bay of St. Lawrence! ”

"So much?" Qin Shiou gasped, there were only 200 cages on his boat, and according to the proportion, there must be more than 1,000 shrimp fishing boats on the Bay of St. Lawrence.

"No way, who made this thing worth now?"

"yes, when did lobsters become so expensive? In the past, it was all for slaves, but at that time, as long as they could eat bread, no one ate it. ”

"At that time, there was also a law that in order to show humanistic care for slaves, slaves could eat up to five tons a week. Haha, now we don't even live as slaves. The group laughed and shook their heads.

Indeed, before the middle of the 19th century, Americans did not eat lobster, as for Canadians? At that time, Canadians didn't pay attention to lobsters.

Until the middle of the 19th century, lobsters were food for the poor and the underprivileged. At that time, there was a rule in the army that soldiers could not eat lobster more than twice a week.

At that time, lobster was eaten by most prison inmates, and eating lobsters with hideous faces was regarded as a punishment for dishonest prisoners.

In addition, the only use of lobsters at that time was to make fertilizer and fish food. It wasn't until the 20th century that Americans began to use lobster as food, but the treatment was very low, and the price was cheaper than low-nutrition canned food.

Qin Shiou thinks that the real revival of the lobster market may be Asians - not only Chinese, but also Japanese and Koreans have a soft spot for this thing, and lobster sashimi has always been the top delicacy in Japanese cuisine. (To be continued......)
