Chapter 221: Draw closer
"How's the harvest, Husley?" shouted Pasby, who had used his levitation technique to fly to the opposite ship.
Lana, who was behind him, grabbed him by the waist and pulled him down.
"Walk over, now that we're in the lake, we should be cautious. Lana said.
Paser looked at Lana silently, and saw that she had no intention of letting go, so she had to cancel the spell, and then Lana let go.
When the gangplank was set up, Kaichi led the crew to the opposite ship.
Husley, who was already waiting by the boat, pointed to the fish he was handling and said, "Now, here it is, these are the fish we caught, almost 300 pounds." ”
300 pounds is more than 200 pounds, there is no problem, and there is not much difference from Jiayi's estimate.
"Are they all here, how can there be 300 pounds here?" said Paserbai looked at the disembowelmented fish in front of him, and felt that the weight should not match.
"There's still some that has been taken care of and put away. ”
I have to say that the sailors on the ship are still very fast, and the two mages sent by Husley just beat them down and didn't do anything, but in the little time that the two ships converged, they had already processed almost half of the fish. is really worthy of being a person who is begging for a living on the water, if he suddenly falls into the water, Jiayi and they really don't have to be the opponents of these sailors.
"How much do you want? These are rainbow ribbon fish, and they taste good. Husley continued.
Pasebai looked at the blood-stained deck, moved his feet in disgust, and said, "Let's have four or five, this fish is so big, you can't eat it all too much." These rainbow ribbon fish are really big. ”
Pasebai sighed a little, it was not that he had never eaten rainbow ribbon fish, but it was really rare to see such a big fish, especially so many such big fish. The captain didn't make much choice when they put down the net, although the mesh was relatively sparse, but it was definitely not sparse to the point where they could only catch more than ten catties of fish.
This can only show that the fish here, at least this group of fish, are relatively large.
"Okay, I'll give you five, exactly one for three people. As soon as he had finished speaking, Husli picked up five fish and threw them into the boat of Pasbai.
"Alas... Don't!" Pasebai stretched out his hand to stop, "You'll give it to us after you've done it, and your deck is dirty anyway." ”
Husley glanced at Passerbai speechlessly, "You have a lot of requests. ”
However, he still put down the fish and let his crew continue to deal with it, originally thinking that he would let Passer worship them and not be idle.
Pasébai watched as Marchi filled the bucket with water, then condensed it into ice with mana, then broke it and spread a layer on the bottom of the bucket, inserting three fish with their heads downwards and covering them with ice. Because the fish are a little too big, even if they are inserted vertically, the tail is still exposed and not covered by ice.
"What is this for, what kind of shape is this?" Looking at the shape of this fishtail facing the sky, Passerbai felt a little inexplicable, if he had been on Earth, he would definitely think of a famous rotten national delicacy, called Stargazing Pie, except that one uses dead fish eyes and the other uses tails.
But speaking of which, at least the fishtail is much less terrifying.
"Storing the fish, although we only got a net, but we caught a lot of fish, and now the weather is not too cold, it is better to freeze, it will not be bad." I've just just built a freezer underneath to store more fresh meat. ”
It dawned on Passerbay that he didn't think that it was mainly because of the misdirection of this shape, but in fact, the fish in front of him was shot directly into the bucket and then covered with a layer of ice, perhaps it was too monotonous, and when he got to the back, he changed his shape and became the appearance of the fishtail rushing to the sky.
Hearing Husley talk about the freezer storage room, Paser was very interested, and said to Husley that he wanted to go down and see him. In fact, the principle of the freezer storage room is very simple, as long as you are willing to spend money, each mage can build one, but no mage has thought of it before. For mages, there are servants to take care of in their lives, and there is no deep need for the application of spells in these lives.
Soon Husley and the others came back from the storeroom, and Passerbay said, "It's nice to have such a storeroom, and next time the supply ship comes, let them bring some fresh meat, not salted meat, and put it in your storeroom." ”
"You don't bother to make your own, you still have to use ours. Husley shook his head, looking like you're a stingy person.
"Isn't it a waste to do both, there's no need, the whole cabin below you is a storage room, and you can't use it up. ”
As the two spoke, they reached the deck, where March and the others had just finished disposing of the last bucket of fish and had the other two mages move to the bilge cold storage.
Husley looked at the dirty deck and yelled, "Everyone who is free has come out to wash the deck, and you can come too." ”
Jia glanced at the image in the sonar, and then ran out, and the blood stains on the deck were all flowing out, and as soon as Jia stepped on the blood water, his feet slipped and he almost slipped.
Kaichi controlled the flow of water and rinsed the soles of his shoes, then moved to a relatively clean deck, and said, "You did this, and made the deck look like this." ”
"That's why I called you out to wash the deck. ”
The blood stains on the deck cannot be washed without washing, otherwise it will not only breed mosquitoes and flies, but also cause corrosion of the deck. Even if it is a whole ship, after a period of sailing, it has to be maintained in the water, repair the cracks, clean up the algae, and then re-launch, otherwise the life of the ship will be greatly reduced.
Everyone controlled the flow of water together, washed the deck, and let the blood stain flow into the lake from both sides, and it didn't take long for the deck that was originally full of blood to become clean, and there was not even a trace of water, and they directly controlled the water flow and dried it directly.
Seeing this, the captain said with some sighs: "A mage is a mage, he even washes the deck so quickly, and he learns to drive the boat very quickly, although Master Mo is not as experienced as me, but some of the route maps are much more familiar than me." ”
The captain of the river is not as good as the captain of the seaship, at least he does not need to read the route map, and he uses the sextant to identify the direction, these Husli they can, although they are not as good as the captain of the seaship, but they are still much better than the fishing line.
The captain of the fishing line watched as Husley washed the deck and spread out in twos and threes, and suddenly there was a little sadness.
When the deputy on one side saw it, he asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong with you, you don't seem to be very happy, isn't it good for this group of old men to help us clean the deck? If we do it ourselves, it will take at least half a day, and they may not be able to wash it clean." ”
"My father is a fisherman, but he has been fishing all his life, and he has never had such a catch, and the net is full as soon as he goes down, I heard that what sonar is used, if it spreads, can ordinary fishermen compare to them, but a lifetime of experience is not as good as a small magic prop. ”
The captain looked a little lonely, feeling disappointed that the little experience he had accumulated was eliminated, although he himself was not a fisherman, but he was indeed the son of a fisherman, and after a lifetime of experience, he could not guarantee 100% finding the fish, but sonar would.
"Why do you care about this?" the deputy scoffed at the captain's worries, "Are you still worried that the mage will compete with you for a job? They won't go into the water to fish, and how many fish will it take to buy such a detection device to pay off." ”
The deputy is more accurate at this point, although Jiayi and their Valoka Chamber of Commerce have plans to launch an ordinary civilian version, but it will definitely not be too cheap, at present, it is definitely not cost-effective to use it for fishing, and now the general big ships are running water transportation, so as to make money, whether it is rivers, lakes and seas, no big boat runs to fish.
At least for a short time, the captain's worries are not justified, and as for a long time, what can not be eliminated, the world is always developing.
Of course, the captain couldn't think of going so deep, just now he suddenly had a little emotion, after sending it, it was over, he was no longer a fisherman, and his father began to enjoy his old age in peace, so he didn't have to worry about this thing.
And it's a little exciting to think that this sonar will end up on my own boat.
