Zhang Zhenghong roughly knew the various purchase prices of the aquatic products station. He calculated Zhang Ze's harvest in his mind and found that the large yellow croaker could be sold for more than 160 yuan, and the remaining various miscellaneous fish were also sold for 20 or 30 yuan.

Grouper was an exaggeration, because the price was high. And there were a lot of sea red spots among them, so in total, he found that Zhang Ze could earn more than 400.

Of course, he already knew that his cousin grouper was sold at a high price and would buy it from them, so he would only make more money.

Such an outrageous income almost scared them, but when they realized it, they all looked extremely excited.

Even if he didn't earn as much as Zhang Ze, it would be a big deal if everyone could get 100 from that trip.

Only then did they understand why their cousin asked them to rent a house and bring their wife and children with them, because they could indeed support their daily expenses in Wenshui City.

Then they started to reel in the second longline, but after reeling it in, question marks popped up on their heads.

Empty hook, empty hook, empty hook, still empty hook, why is the harvest so poor?

It’s completely different from Zhang Ze who comes with a fish every now and then?

Zhang Qinghe's smiling face froze because of Zhang Ze's good harvest. Why did he have so few fish?

‘Perhaps the harvest is all in the second half?

That's what he thought, but it didn't happen.

A thousand hooks only caught more than a hundred fish, including more than 150 kilograms of large yellow croaker, more than 30 kilograms of miscellaneous fish, and just over 100 kilograms of grouper.

Overall, it was a little better than the previous hook arrangement, but such a large gap still made Zhang Qinghe a little bit defensive, and he was not even very interested in working.

Now that the sky was slowly getting dark, Zhang Ze took the time to reel in the remaining two longlines.

The fish caught on each longline were about the same as Zhang Qinghe's, and the three cousins ​​shared it among them.

Good work, it's completely dark now.

Zhang Ze went to make dinner, and after everyone ate, they went to the deck and started arranging the longlines.

This thing was a bit messy after it was pulled up and needed to be rearranged. This is the disadvantage of only one longline per person, so when we took the fish just now, we had to clip out the hooks, which was extremely time-consuming. Fortunately, there were more people to sort it out.

It's pretty fast too.

Last time I used grouper bait, I did catch a lot, but it didn't reach the ideal catch for him.

The main reason is that too few magic baits were used and too many longline hooks were used.

So this time he exchanged fifty portions of ordinary fishing bait, and the catch would definitely be more, but he still needed to compare the overall income.

I exchanged the bait, caught a few handfuls of squid bait, and mixed in fifty portions of ordinary fish bait.

Anyway, the appearance of both is the same, no one else can notice except him.

This time Zhang Ze changed his position and lowered the longline. After placing the longline, he continued to help Zhang Qinghe hang the bait.

But after the bait was hung up, he said he would find a feng shui location to set off, then made a long circle and arrived at a location two nautical miles away.

Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows. Originally, he had thought about letting them put the longline in a farther sea area to avoid being affected by the magical bait.

But there was no suitable reason, so Zhang Qinghe accidentally left the range of the magical bait.

So he simply let his cousins ​​choose their own positions for the next two longlines.

After all four longlines were lowered, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Ze felt numb.

There were so many long lines that were troublesome to sort out and to hang bait, so it was too time-consuming and he didn't even have time to fish.

Now four hours have passed since the first longline, and it can be harvested again.

After driving the boat back, Zhang Qinghe hooked the buoy back and said with a smile: "I really don't have any rest time when doing this longline, but the harvest is indeed much better than fishing!"

Zhang Ze sighed: "That means you are all on my boat. When you each have your own boat in the future, I will be free."

"Hehe, I still have to work hard. There is still a lot less money to buy a boat now." Zhang Qinghe tied the longline to the open winch and said with a smile.

He currently rents a house and adds some expenses, and his deposit is only about 400, which is really far from buying a boat.

Zhang Ze's current savings are only 2,700. He made 2,000 last time, but he has spent a lot of money these days.

He looked at Zhang Qinghe and felt that this guy could actually become a master.

How about simply lending him money to buy a boat and letting his cousins ​​go on his boat for him to teach?

Now being on a ship has seriously delayed Zhang Ze's ability to make money, mainly because he wasted too much time, and it has seriously affected his ability to gain experience points.

The live water tank is so big that it is very crowded for grouper, let alone other fish, so the only choice for these fish is chilled.

Dead fish cannot be collected into the space, so these are all experience points!

He often asked Zhang Zhenghong to help collect the fish. He would take the fish and put it in a box next to him, then put it into the space instantly when others were not paying attention, and then take it out immediately.

But there are still some fish that cannot be collected under the eyes of others. Not many are leaked, but a lot of experience points are lost cumulatively.

The longline was gradually pulled up. Zhang Ze grabbed the sub-line above the water and quickly pulled it back. The weight in his hand told him that the first sub-line was the same as last time, and it was a good start.

"Holy shit, it's a snake?" Zhang Qinghe was startled when he saw the twisted and entangled body.

"Is your sea snake so thick?" Zhang Ze rolled his eyes and lifted up the eel that was still alive in front of him, with its mouth open and sharp teeth exposed.

Considering that the longline was troublesome to use, he probably didn't want to put it out until it was already early in the morning, so he simply used scissors to cut off the sub-line and left the hook in the eel's mouth.

"Aze, what kind of conger eel is this?" Zhang Zhenghong tried to catch the eel, but was startled by the way it bit his hand fiercely.

Using the light on the boat, Zhang Ze squatted down and looked carefully: "This should be a conger eel."

He couldn't say exactly what kind of conger eel it was, but he could only identify its species through some characteristics.

The eel was very fierce, so Zhang Ze caught it with a dip net and put it into a big bamboo basket.

When no one was paying attention, he reached out and grabbed it, instantly took the conger eel into the space and immediately released it.

It turned out to be a gray conger eel, and the color on its body is indeed not that dark.

Then the second hook was empty, and the third hook was another gray conger eel.

Then there were almost no other fish, not many groupers, and the ones that came up were basically conger eels.

Zhang Qinghe laughed so hard: "Aze, you have stabbed an eel in the nest!"

Many marine creatures move together in groups, and ordinary fishing baits are not targeted at groupers, so it is not surprising that it attracts a group of conger eels.

Zhang Ze glanced at him and said leisurely: "At least I have eels. I hope you can get more fish later. Don't pull up nine out of ten hooks."

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Qinghe suddenly became anxious. It doesn't matter if you catch a few fish, but what if you catch nine out of ten?

But one person said that he felt that longline fishing was much more interesting than fishing and setting hooks, because no one knew what the next fish would be.

After collecting a batch of conger eels in succession, an uninvited guest was pulled up.

"Fuck, what a big turtle!" Zhang Zhenghong had been successfully led astray by Zhang Qinghe, and he blurted out.

"This is a turtle. It feels a little smaller than the turtle in the great white shark's mouth last time." Zhang Qinghe was envious. How much is such a large piece of meat worth?

This time he took the initiative to pick up the big turtle that had been hooked. When he felt the weight in his hands, he looked surprised: "This must weigh about fifty kilograms!"

"Leave it to me!" Zhang Ze was silent just now. In fact, he had been engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

Turtles are not protected animals now and can be sold for money. But as a fisherman, he feels a little reluctant to sell and eat turtles.

Maybe it was hypocritical, but in the end he decided to release the turtle.

Taking the turtle from Zhang Qinghe, he first used pliers to remove the fishhook, then carried it and walked to the front deck.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you afraid that the fish will be bitten if you put the live water tank in?" Zhang Qinghe thought he was going to put the turtles in the live water tank and raised them, so he quickly stopped him.

"I'll take it and release it, you continue." Zhang Ze replied.

"Are you crazy?" The other people were all stunned, not expecting him to throw money away.

"Turtle meat doesn't taste good. No one wants it." Zhang Ze has never eaten turtles, but that doesn't stop him from deceiving others. "Look, do the turtles in the fields taste good?"

Zhang Qinghe and others shook their heads repeatedly. Who likes to eat the earthy smell of Wanggu?

But with such a metaphor, they suddenly understood. No wonder Zhang Ze wanted to release the turtles. The fishy smell was probably very strong, so they all lost interest in the turtles.

Zhang Ze came to the front deck and saw that they did not follow him, so he put the turtle down.

Dahuang's eyes were full of curiosity, and he quickly came over to try to remember the smell of the turtle. Unexpectedly, the turtle in front of him suddenly disappeared.

"???" Dahuang tilted his head, and a few question marks appeared on his forehead. Where is the turtle?

How big is a turtle when I am so big?

"Woof woof woof~"

Dahuang barked several times toward the place where the turtle disappeared, and then circled around the turtle's position a few times. The dog's face was full of doubts.

Zhang Ze glanced at it funny, and then focused his gaze on the space.

[Successfully caught a leatherback turtle, weighing 52.15 kilograms, experience 30.]

It turns out to be a leatherback turtle, no wonder it looks so familiar. This is the largest turtle in the world.

They can generally grow up to two meters long and weigh an average of two hundred kilograms.

Obviously, the one caught here is still a half-grown child!

After gaining experience points, Zhang Ze came to the side of the ship. As soon as his heart moved, a turtle appeared on the water.

The leatherback turtle was very confused. It only remembered that it had appeared in a small space inexplicably just now, and then before it was familiar with the place, it appeared on the sea again in the blink of an eye.

It was desperate when Greedy was caught in the mouth, but it would suddenly feel safe again.

It didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop it from escaping from here at an extremely fast speed. It vowed never to be greedy again.

After the leatherback turtle disappeared, Zhang Ze returned to the stern of the ship and continued working.
