"Wow, it's more than I expected!" Looking at the constantly changing pressure data on the fishing net, Philemon muttered. if the fish from the net just now is sold, it could probably be sold for US$50,000. This might look big, but after deducting the cost of fuel, equipment (If it breaks), salary of the crew and other expenses, very little will remain.
But fortunately, Jiang Hai’s fishing spot has tons of fish.
The earlier computation was only based on half an hour of fishing. If a common fisherman saw this, they would probably beat up Jiang Hai or call him daddy.
"The pressure is too much, slow down." Seeing the readings in the fishing net were getting higher and higher, Philemon radioed Edward who was at the helm. Hearing Philemon, Edward walked over quickly..
"This isn’t my boat but the boss’ right? Everything on this boat is the best, including fishing nets. Even normal nets could withstand this pressure, let alone ours, it’s okay. But yeah, you should still pay attention. Call me when the reading reaches 300 per square meter.” After listening to Edward, Philemon couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. Although he knew Jiang Hai was willing to spend money, he didn’t know he was that willing. He didn’t want to be a fisherman and therefore had no interest in boats, so he didn't follow when they went shopping for ships.
Now that he heard what his elder brother said, he was relieved.
"I’m going down to get a cup of coffee, do you want some?" After learning that there was no problem, Jiang Hai decided to take a break, so he knocked on the window at the side of the console, and asked Philemon.
It’s only the beginning of January, and it’s the coldest time in Boston. Although Jiang Hai was born in the northeast, where the temperature is much colder than here, when the sea breeze blows, Jiang Hai still feels a little unbearable.
It may be for the convenience of operation, so there is a house specially installed that covers the console and operator. There is a separate heater inside, and glass which can be used to block the wind so Philemon is feeling comfortable but as for Jiang Hai, he stood directly against the cold wind, even if his physical fitness is at the limits of humanity it was still unbearable for him. After making sure that nothing worth mentioning is happening, he decided to go down and get some coffee, even though he doesn't like drinking this thing but this thing does have the effect of warming the stomach.
"Oh, give me a drink too, thank you boss!" Hearing Jiang Hai, Philemon replied while chuckling lightly.
Then Jiang Hai walked into the cabin. Jiang Hai’s fishing boat was just like it was said when it was built. Although it looks like a fishing boat, from the perspective of the decoration inside, it’s actually a yacht.
When he first bought this from the seller, that person received a lot of money from Jiang Hai so he was determined to do his best.
The entire fishing boat is divided into upper and lower floors. The first floor is where you live. The driver’s cab at the front is connected to a large living room. The living room is about 30 square meters in size. There are sofas on both sides, a TV, a refrigerator and in the middle there is a coffee table and a mini bar next to it. The wooden structure inside, coupled with a leather sofa, made people feel very comfortable.
Behind the living room is where people sleep. There are a total of eight rooms and a master bedroom. Although it is not as luxurious as Jiang Hai’s villa, it is not much different. The room has a large bed, carpet, TV, refrigerator, sofa, wardrobe, and there is even a separate bathroom and separate toilet.
Among the other seven rooms, there are three main guest rooms. Although the decoration inside is not as good as the master bedroom, it is not much different.
The three main guest rooms also have independent TVs, wardrobes, and closet rooms, but they are all one size smaller.
The remaining four rooms were designed as double rooms according to Edward's original requirements, with two beds directly welded to the wall.
Then there are separate toilets, wardrobes, desks and chairs and TV in the room. These four rooms, according to Edward Anderson, are for him and the crew in the future. The master bedroom is naturally where Jiang Hai will sleep, the guest bedroom is for Jiang Hai’s guests. He once said that they could all be made into guest rooms, but Edward disagreed. Jiang Hai could only shrug his shoulders.
Behind the eight rooms is the kitchen. This kitchen is not much worse than the kitchen in Jiang Hai’s villa. Basically, it has everything that should be, the only difference is that everything here is immovable. It’s all stuck on the ground or welded to the wall. After all, it’s on the sea, we wouldn’t want everything to go flying.
On the lower level of these settlements are four huge warehouses, two cold storage warehouses, a live reservoir, to store more valuable fish and another pure cold storage that is used to freeze fish.
Walking into the residential area, Jiang Hai went straight to the kitchen, used the coffee machine there to make coffee, made three cups at a time, took one cup for himself, and then went to the cockpit with one cup. He did not forget to make one for Edward.
Walking in, he saw Edward driving the boat while watching the underwater sonar and the pressure readings on the fishing net on the side of the cockpit.
"Oh, thank you boss!." Hearing the footsteps, Edward looked back and saw Jiang Hai coming in with coffee. He chuckled slightly, and took Jiang Hai’s offered cup then continued to watch the ship’s instruments.
"How is it?" Jiang Hai can’t understand anything from the ship’s equipment, but fortunately, he is the boss, he can just ask Edward directly unlike others who pretend they know everything.
"It's not bad. Now there are more things caught in the net than just now. Although the sea here is not too deep, it is still filled with fish. In ten minutes, we can drop the net again." Edward Anderson replied with a smile. He pointed at the shadow displayed on the sonar and the pressure bar from the net, Edward Anderson replied with a smile, but while he was talking and laughing, his expression immediately changed while looking at the sonar because two black bars floated over. According to the sonar display, it is estimated that each of them must be about four meters long. These two black bars are now rushing toward the fishing net.
"What is this? Big fish?" Looking at the readings displayed on the sonar, even Edward was a little confused.
At this moment, One of the big fish seemed to have not noticed, and plunged into Jiang Hai's fishing net.
This huge impact even made the boat tremble a little, and at this moment, the reading on the fishing net increased a lot. Seeing this, Edward grabbed the walkie-talkie and called Philemon. His sixth sense told him that he had caught a big fish, but even before he could tell Philemon to raise the net, Philemon had already raised it.
Philemon had been paying attention to the pressure of the fishing net from the beginning. When the pressure of the fishing net suddenly increased from 220 to 270, he also knew that if it wasn’t a big fish, it’s probably the net scraping the reef, no matter what it is, he needs to get the fishing net right away.
While all of this was happening, Jiang Hai quickly put away his coffee and immediately ran out of the cockpit and to the deck as Edward slowly stopped the boat and followed Jiang Hai.
When the two men reached the deck, Philemon had already pulled up the fishing net, in it was a huge sailfish that was constantly struggling in the fishing net, the pointed mouth was stretched out of the fishing net. Looking at this big guy, Jiang Hai was amazed with his mouth wide open. ‘It's the first time I saw a sailfish. It's really fierce!’
"Splash!" At this moment, on the sea level beside the ship, a shark also jumped out of the sea. Jiang Hai looked back and knew that this shark was his pet, Dasha(Big Idiot). He just said it casually, to bring a big fish back, he didn’t expect it to really do it, and it was even a sailfish!
"Boss, we struck gold this time. Just this fish alone can sell for one hundred thousand dollars!" Philemon said while controlling the net to store the expensive fish, excitement could be heard in his voice.
"One hundred thousand?" Jiang Hai swallowed his saliva when he heard Philemon. It seems that raising fish is really a profitable job. Can this fish really sell for one hundred thousand? He already felt a little short of breath.
Could he raise this fish?
As for Edward, when he looked at this fish, his eyes were shining, but when he looked at the sand tiger shark, the shining of his eyes became even brighter, he didn’t think that this pet raised by Jiang Hai was so powerful!
(AN: I still call the prices bullshit. just take everything with a grain of salt and enjoy the fic :D)
