Chapter 159: Grab money with time
After watching the first cage, everyone quickly returned to their posts, and the deck immediately ran at high speed and order.
After such a long time of running-in, the work efficiency of everyone's cooperation is obviously much higher than when they first went to sea.
Now the crew of the entire fishing boat is all in high spirits.
Li Yongmin and Li Xiaoliang stood on the side of the boat, and pulled the crabs out of the water one by one with high morale.
Li Yonglin also followed behind with a smile on his face, untying the crab pots from the rope, and Zhang Jianjun also happily transferred the full crab pots one by one to the position used to pour the crab pots on the boat.
Li Xiaoming smiled and poured the crab pots full of crabs into a large basin on the deck.
Master Wei and Li Yongjian sat on the small bench with smiles on their faces, and quickly tied up a mountain of crabs in the big basin, and after the binding of crabs was enough for a basket, someone would immediately move them to the oxygen chamber.
Everyone performs their duties and fulfills their responsibilities, no one urges them, but everyone is working hard, because everyone knows that this job is not only for the boss, but also for themselves!
And now these crab schools are rapidly migrating to the deep sea, and every minute of delay is delaying their own money!
Now they are racing against time, they are grabbing money against time!
This is also because when Li Xiaofeng and several other shipowners went back for the first time, they really gave everyone a bonus as promised! Without the excitement of the first bonus, these crew members wouldn't be so motivated!
After a while, Li Yongmin and Li Xiaoliang were tired, to be honest, this crab pot, plus a cage full of crabs, plus full of water, is really not light.
Even if the two of them pull together, it's not easy.
Since I was tired, I changed two more people to go up, but the two of them were not idle, and squatted directly next to the big basin on the deck to help tie up the crabs!
In this way, after everyone's joint efforts, it took less than two and a half hours to put away all the crab pots.
This time each crab had more time than they had when they first went to sea, but it took less time than their first time out at sea!
After the crab pot was collected, there were still a lot of crabs on the boat that had not been tied, and the few people who were responsible for tying the crabs were also tied up until they were soft.
But at this time, no one can take care of helping them, because the other crew members have to prepare for the second round of crab pots!
Every time there is an extra crab pot, or even an extra crab pot, it's hundreds of dollars!
Now it's a complete robbery, it depends on how much they can rob.
So some people quickly fished up the small trash fish that they had kept in the live water tank, some were responsible for cutting them into pieces, some were responsible for taking out the bait box from the crab pot before, and some were responsible for reloading the freshly cut small trash fish into the bait box......
With Li Xiaofeng's notice, Li Yongmin and Li Xiaoliang, who had been resting for a while next to them, began to put out the second round of crab pots today!
After the second round of crab pots were put into the sea, Li Xiaofeng stopped the boat, everyone had a simple meal, and then they were ready to collect the modified sticky nets that they had laid before!
Now is not the time to stop and rest, such a rare opportunity, they must compete with time to grab money!
When the modified sticky net was pulled out of the water by the big rollers on the fishing boat, everyone couldn't help but cheer again when they saw the safflower crabs densely covered on the sticky net!
Say nothing, just keep doing it!
Because of the help of the two large rollers on the boat, it is effortless to pull the fishing nets, but after these crabs are stained with the sticky net, it is not easy to untie them intact, especially Li Xiaofeng also asked them to minimize the damage to the sticky net.
For he was going to continue to use these nets, and after a while, he would have to go down to the sea again.
In this way, the fishing boat kept following the crab school, and all the crew members were busy from 7 o'clock in the evening of the first day until more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and this money-grabbing activity was over.
Everyone on the ship had been busy for sixteen or seventeen hours almost non-stop, and now they were all exhausted and their legs were weak.
At this time, the crab group was already in the deep sea, completely dissipated, and Li Xiaofeng informed that this crab fishing was completely over!
With his announcement, everyone seemed to have exhausted their last bit of strength, and they all sat down on the deck with blank eyes.
Even some crew members didn't care about the fishy smell on the deck and lay directly on the deck.
Everyone rested on the deck for almost half an hour before they had the strength to stand up.
The crew cleaned up the deck and the cook went back to cooking.
As for the five sticky nets they had modified before, they were now lying on the deck, and now they were almost twisted into ropes because of repeated use.
Although the nets are no longer usable, they must be brought back to shore.
Fishermen also have an unwritten rule that these discarded nets must be brought back to shore as much as possible.
If they are discarded into the sea at will, a fishing net that is discarded like this is enough to kill all the main organisms in a reef area, and it will form a desert on the bottom of the sea.
Fish actually have memories, and when more and more fishing gear is discarded in a certain area, more and more fish will gradually avoid this area.
More and more of these areas will eventually leave fishermen with no fish to catch!
Even though fishing boats have tried their best to bring back these discarded fishing nets, many of them are entangled in obstacles on the seabed (including shipwrecks, rocky reefs, abandoned containers, etc.), resulting in more and more abandoned nets on the seabed!
According to some statistics, for every kilogram of pike crabs caught, 103 grams of discarded fishing gear will be produced!
More and more discarded fishing nets are already an important source of pollution on the seabed.
The crew tied up the rest of the crabs and rinsed the deck before everyone went to take a shower and change clothes.
After more than ten hours of busyness, coupled with sweating all the time, everyone smelled bad.
After taking a shower, the food on the ship was ready, and everyone hurriedly finished eating, and they all hurried back to the cabin to sleep and replenish their sleep.
Li Xiaofeng, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun came to the oxygenation chamber to see how many crabs were caught this time.
Today, they have all been working and don't bother to look at it.
After reading it, the four of them estimated that this time they had caught at least 15,000 catties of crabs!
Looking at these crabs, everyone couldn't help but smile.
