218: The Three Brothers of the Sea

Following Yang Qi's refer to direction, everyone saw a splash of water not far away, as if the water was boiling.

"So this is a school of fish! They all seem to be small fish."

None of them had seen it before and asked curiously.

"It's Sardine, Yang Qi and I encountered it last time."

Bai Xue said while running.

Upon reaching the cockpit, Bai Xue looked at the fish finder's display screen according to Yang Qi's instructions and began to steer towards the school of fish.

Yang Qi stood on the deck with a cast net, his eyes fixed on the fish school, looking for the right moment to cast.

As he turned and cast the net, with a "plop," a large circular net covered the sea.

After waiting for a while, Yang Qi began to pull the net rope to retrieve the net.

As he continuously pulled, a large spherical net bag emerged from the sea, packed densely with fish.

Bai Xue ran out of the cockpit, raised the crane from the freezing compartment, and hoisted the net bag onto the deck. It weighed over 300 catties.

As the net rope loosened, the silver-white Sardine flowed onto the deck like water, continuously flopping and jumping.

The three Women had never seen such a scene and exclaimed in surprise, taking out their phones to record.

Bai Xue went to get a few fish baskets and started picking up fish. The others then stopped and came to help.

Among the pile of fish, there were also about ten Wolf Fish and Skipjack Tuna, weighing over ten catties each, struggling to get out.

Yang Qi was afraid that the others, lacking experience, might get injured, so he first killed, bled, and processed those Wolf Fish and Skipjack Tuna, then threw them aside.

It took quite some time for five people to pick up 300 catties of Sardine. After all, they were too small, with thousands of them weighing between half an ounce and two ounces each.

Mother suggested frying some Sardine to eat, which immediately received everyone's support, and they started doing it right away.

Yang Qi left about ten catties for them and sent the rest of the fish into the freezing compartment.

Without minding the people on the deck who were gutting fish, Yang Qi steered the setting sail towards the location where the ground nets were set.

After a while, Bai Xue brought a plate of fried Sardine into the cockpit and fed a piece to Yang Qi.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Yang Qi was beaming with delight as he enjoyed Bai Xue's feeding.

Upon reaching the location where the ground nets were set, Yang Qi gave the driver's seat to Bai Xue.

He, on the other hand, stood by the ship's side with a gaff hook, skillfully hooking the buoy and pulling the ground net onto the deck.

Their luck was pretty good; the first ground net contained 5 Swimming Crab, 2 Orchid Crab, and a few Sea Shrimp.

This again earned high praise from the three older sisters who were watching the excitement from the side.

That's right, after half a day of interaction, the three had already started calling each other 'Big Sister,' 'Second Sister,' and 'Little Sister.'

Yang Qi was a bit speechless when he heard it, muttering in his heart:

"In ancient times, there was the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood; now there are three Women, the Sea Oath of Brotherhood."

You guys really know how to have fun! As long as Mother is happy!

The second ground net contained two Sea Eel weighing over three catties, two Mud Crab, and three Swimming Crab.

After all five ground nets were retrieved, the harvest was indeed good, even though not much bait had been used at the time.

"I should have set more ground nets if I had known. I'll keep this spot for myself. If I want to eat Crab in the future, I'll come here and set a few ground nets; it's not very far."

Yang Qi thought to himself, marking the spot on the map with the name "Crab Home."

As someone terrible at naming things, this was indeed a challenge for him.

The important task of tying Crab was primarily handled by Bai Xue, with Mother Zheng Jin as her assistant, plus two cheerleaders.

Yang Qi continued to drive the boat towards the City Wharf.

According to what Bai Xue told him later, the ground nets yielded a total of 19 Swimming Crab, 10 Mud Crab, 7 Orchid Crab, two Sea Eel, one to two catties of Sea Shrimp, and a few Mantis Shrimp and Octopus.

Such a harvest could be described as high-yielding; to use some internet celebrity slang, it was a "cage explosion."

After a while, Bai Xue brought two Crab and Sea Shrimp to Yang Qi.

Then she ran up to the flybridge, enjoying the freshly prepared delicacies with the aunties.

After a while, Yang Qi informed them via broadcast from the cockpit that they would arrive at the City Wharf in half an hour and asked them to contact someone to pick up the goods.

He also told Bai Xue to come down to shower and change clothes.

Zheng Jin and the others quickly took out their phones, found they had a signal, and the first thing they did was post those photos and videos to their Moments and various group chats.

Then they contacted their husbands to pick them up at the wharf.

Yang Qi had already said when retrieving the ground nets that they could take all the fish they caught themselves today.

The catch from the ground nets was also entirely for the two of them to share. Each person got a box of Sardine, and Chen Lanxin at home also got a box.

The two politely declined, but were then scolded by the second sister Zheng Jin, and in the end, they could only follow Yang Qi's instructions.

Considering that their family car couldn't carry much seafood, Zheng Jin called Chen Lanxin and asked her to drive her van to the City Wharf to pick up the goods.

Yang Qi and Bai Xue took turns showering and changing clothes, then called Zhang Jun to tell him their approximate arrival time at the wharf.

At this time, the phones of the people on the flybridge were flooded with messages.

All the messages praised the beautiful scenery at sea, the beautiful fishing boat, and the abundant catch. Various envious words filled the screen.

This boosted their emotional value significantly.

The three of them also took turns showering and changing clothes, then leaned on the sofa, eating delicious food, and replying to their Moments.

Upon reaching the City Wharf, the setting sail docked steadily according to instructions.

Wang Xudong, Li Lifeng, and Chen Lanxin were already waiting there.

They happened to meet Ding Kuan and a few friends strolling on the wharf. Last time they returned from offshore fishing, Zhang Jun had given him and Wang Jinxi a red envelope of ten thousand yuan each.

When Ding Kuan came over to say hello, he saw that the setting sail was about to unload goods, and without a word, he called a few friends to help.

With the help of a few professionals, the fish catch was quickly moved into the van.

Yang Qi ran to buy two packs of Huazi cigarettes and some water, which he handed to Ding Kuan.

One refused, the other insisted on giving, and while they were pulling back and forth, Zhang Jun arrived.

"Take it, A Kuan, you have to do something for your friends, right!"

With Zhang Jun's involvement, Ding Kuan was at a disadvantage and could only accept, then said goodbye and left.

"Brother Jun, come, let me introduce you."

Yang Qi called Wang Xudong and the other, and introduced them.

"Alright, as long as your goods meet quality standards and so on, the group's orders can prioritize you in the future."

Zhang Jun shook hands with the two and said. The two were very happy and expressed their gratitude.

"Did you go to the company this morning?" Zhang Jun asked again.

"We did, the contract has been signed, thank you, CEO Zhang."

Wang Xudong and the other said.

"Hmm, that's good. In the future, if you have anything, you can tell Yang Qi, or you can find me," Zhang Jun nodded and said.

At this moment, Zheng Jin and the other Women, who had finished cleaning, also walked over.

"A-Jun, you're here!"
