"Wow, this thing is so awesome! How can it be so long?"

"Stupid, it can be retracted. Awan, you and Uncle San also spent a lot of money on it. This thing doesn't look cheap, does it?"

Fu Ming asked curiously, and Fu Wan agreed, "It's indeed not cheap. The profit of the fresh food ship in the first three months was exchanged for such a big thing."

"Damn, it's so expensive!"

Fu Ming exclaimed, although the profit of the fresh food collection ship in the first three months was not much, it was still three to four thousand yuan. Such a thing actually cost several thousand yuan!

"Not only that, if the cannery and the machinery factory hadn't also cooperated, they wouldn't have allowed us to do it in the first place!"

Although Fu Wan didn't take much care of this matter, she was the one who gave Fu San the contact information of the director of the machinery factory. Not only that, she also asked Wang Jianmin and Fu Jian to follow Fu San to the machinery factory several times before installing a crane on the fresh food collection ship.

"Okay, stop talking and put the crab on first!"

Fu Wanyang raised her hand and ordered, "Everyone, remember to check when you lift the crabs up and secure them in place. Don't let the crabs fall down when the crane is operating!"

It’s no big deal if the crabs fall into the basket, but there are several people under the machine. It would be a disaster if they were hit.

However, after several months of operation, Fu Huanghua has become very skilled in using the crane.

Seeing this, Lin Wei hurriedly started weighing and counting with Shen Jian, Qian Gang and others.

Soon after the baskets of crabs were put down, the deck of the fresh-catch boat was filled to the brim.

The baskets are all the same for the whole village, and Lin Wei also has records of their weights.

It was quickly recorded that Fu Wan and her team had transported 32 baskets of swimming crabs, weighing 2,720 kilograms.

Twenty-six baskets of orchid crabs, weighing two thousand one hundred and fifty-eight kilograms.

There weren't many red flower crabs, only five baskets, weighing only 432 kilograms.

All in all, the crabs weighed more than 5,300 kilograms.

Wow, it really is the largest ship in the Fujia Village area. In less than a day at sea, it caught more than 5,000 kilograms of crabs.

Lin Wei was muttering in his heart, and at this moment, Fu Wan's voice came down from the Riding the Wind and Waves again.

"Uncle Lin, is there any room on your boat? I have some shrimps here, you can take some back too!"

Lin Wei immediately thought about it and replied, "Also, you can bring it down first!"

After that, he turned to Shen Jian and Qian Gang and said, "Put the crabs in the live water tank right after you weigh them. The sun is so strong now, and the crabs will easily get sunburned to death later."

Of course, another reason is that we have to quickly clear space to put the shrimps, otherwise there will be no place to queue up to be weighed when the shrimps are transported down!

Seeing that there was space on the deck of the fresh-harvesting boat, Fu Wan waved to the people behind her and asked them to move the fish baskets full of shrimps back onto the crane.

Baskets of shrimp were carried away, and Lin Wei was so exhausted watching them.

There are palm-sized nine-segment shrimps, giant prawns, and mantis shrimps that are bigger than a human face. My God, the harvest on the Riding the Wind and Waves is too much!

He had originally planned to transport some more fish back later, but now it seems that he doesn’t know if there is enough space for the fish.

There weren't many surviving prawns and shrimp caught in the trawl, so they were basically sent directly into the cold storage. Fu Wan had also moved them out of the cold storage, and they felt very cold to the touch.

Lin Wei and Fu Huanghua hurriedly weighed the shrimps one by one. By the time they finished weighing, the four of them were exhausted.

They really didn't expect that not only were there more than 5,000 kilograms of crabs, but the shrimps alone weighed more than 4,000 kilograms.

The nine-segmented shrimp weighed almost 1,800 kilograms, the prawns weighed 2,000 kilograms, and the most outrageous thing was that the mantis shrimp weighed 1,000 kilograms!

"Brother Lin, can we put so many shrimps in the cold storage?"

Shen Jian looked at the countless fish baskets and couldn't help but turn to ask Lin Wei.

Lin Wei picked up the pen and scratched his head twice, feeling a headache.

Before he came, he was not sure whether he could find the "Riding the Wind and Waves", so when he met the "Returning with a Full Load", he also loaded some of their crabs and shrimps.

The quantity was small, far less than what was harvested by the Riding the Wind and Waves.

The crabs and shrimps combined weigh less than 5,000 kilograms.

But the problem is that his ship also has seafood collected from other fishing boats along the way. He thought that leaving one-third of the space for the Riding the Wind and Waves should be enough, but now it seems that it is not enough.

"What's going on? Hurry up and weigh yourself!"

Fu Huanghua took down the last batch of shrimps and turned around to see Lin Wei in a daze.

"Brother Hua, what should we do? The cold storage is almost full, and the fish from the Riding the Wind and Waves haven't been loaded onto the boat yet!"

When Fu Huanghua heard this, he stood up immediately.

"I thought it was nothing. So, you guys weigh the remaining shrimp first. Qian Gang, come with me to the cold storage and we'll sort out the fish."

"Is this okay?"

Lin Wei was a little skeptical, but Fu Huanghua nodded affirmatively.

"I can do it! Brother Gou Wa taught me how to organize the fish baskets!"

When Lin Wei heard that it was Boss Fu who taught him, he immediately felt relieved.

There were more than 500 kilograms of shrimp left. Lin Wei weighed them one by one, and then he and Shen Jian moved all the shrimps to the door of the cold storage.

It’s no wonder that after Fu Huanghua’s tidying up, there is indeed more space in the cold storage.

But it can't hold too many, after all, the space is limited, and there are still many shrimps waiting to be stored at the door of the cold storage.

On the Riding the Wind and Waves, seeing that there was nothing to do around, Boss Fu simply continued to cast his rod and fish.

He had been fishing for half an hour before the catch boat arrived. In just that short time, he had pulled up two pomfret, one weighing one jin and the other three jin.

Based on the market price of fighting pomfret a while ago, these two fish are worth seventy or eighty yuan in total.

It is not an exaggeration by Boss Fu. This year's economy is visibly good, and the price of fish is rising every day.

Of course, the prices of cheap fish, such as sardines and golden pomfret, have not changed much, but the prices of high-end fish such as fighting pomfret can increase by several yuan a day.

Think about last year, the price of fighting pomfret caught with a trawl net was only two or three yuan per pound, and the ones with full scales were a little more expensive, only about five or six yuan.

Nowadays, this kind of fish with full scales is worth at least fifteen or sixteen yuan per pound!

Boss Fu’s catch in half an hour was so impressive that he felt a little proud for a moment. He thought that the old ones were the wisest. Look at those youngsters, how many fishermen can compare to him!

After feeling proud, Boss Fu felt unsatisfied. Seeing that other people were busy transporting the fish, he simply changed direction to the opposite direction of the fish collection boat and cast his fishing rod again.

Compared to Boss Fu's triumphant mood, Dong Haiyang felt a little depressed.

In the past, he worked at the shipyard all day dealing with ships and was so busy that he didn't have much time to fish.

Now I started fishing because of Boss Fu after going out to sea. People say that it is easy for novices to catch fish, but Boss Fu, a veteran, has caught several fish, and he didn’t even see a single fish scale!

Not only that, every time he pulled back the bait he threw out, it was eaten up clean. He was very puzzled. It was the same sea area, but the fish on Boss Fu's side took the hook obediently, while the fish on his side were like spirits. It was really unfair!
