Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

As for half of the fish catch, Zhao Qin didn't refuse. He walked to the deck and picked the biggest one. "Okay, this one belongs to me, and the rest belongs to you. Do you have any objection?"

Lidya's mouth opened slightly, obviously surprised. She did not rush to translate for Kent, but confirmed: "Zhao, are you kidding?"

"In my opinion, this fish is worth half. Tell old Kent that next time I come to Alaska, he will treat me to dinner. Of course, as a guest, I will bring him a gift."

Lidya looked apologetic, "Zhao, I apologize to you on behalf of my father. You are a generous gentleman."

Zhao Qin waved his hand, "No need, you did nothing wrong."

Kent was also startled when he heard his daughter's translation, then shook his head and a lot of words came out.

Without Lidya's translation, Zhao Qin could roughly understand what this guy meant, "Stop being so nagging, sell the fish quickly. It won't be fresh after a while. Remember to owe me a meal."

Ignoring Kent's shouts, Zhao Qin took the big fish and got off the boat directly. He happened to meet York who was waiting here. He handed the fish directly to him, "Find a restaurant that can process it.

Make soup with fish bones and fry the fish meat. By the way, milk and other messy things are not allowed in the soup. "

Joey drove the car over and he hurriedly got in. He smelled fishy and had to go back and take a good wash.

At this moment, Kent couldn't leave at all, because his ship had been blocked by the crowd watching the fun at the dock. In the entire port, no ship had been heard to have such a high harvest in a single day in so many years.

"Lidya, go notify old Cole and ask him to collect the fish quickly."

The harvesting of fish here is somewhat different from that of tuna. There are several fish processing plants in the port, and all the people who harvest the fish are from the processing plants.

The collected fish will immediately enter the processing plant, where the heads and belly of the fish will be removed, the fish meat will be packaged and frozen, and then shipped to all over the world.

The fish heads and belly are sold to cat food factories at very low prices and are made into cat food without any waste.

Zhao Qin originally wanted to go into their factory and have a look, but Joey didn't have the channels to do so.

"Dad, the price of fish has gone up today, $1.45 a pound."

"Are you sure?" A smile appeared on Kent's face again. The increase of 15 cents may not seem like much, but it is an increase of more than 10%, which is considerable in proportion.

Today's harvest is conservatively estimated to be around 5000 pound, and the price increase is more than $. Many small boats cannot catch that much in a day.

"Old Cole said that and congratulated our ship on the harvest."

After a while, a boatman brought a big bag. The bag was made of nylon and lined with a layer of leather. The bag was spread on the deck. Kent also started to get busy.

Ask people to hurry up and throw the fish on the deck into the bag first. One bag can hold two tons. When the load is about the same, the hook of the crane will go down the boat, fix it and pull it up.

The crane is equipped with a scale, and during the hoisting process, the scale is also completed.

Many boats can handle it in one load. Even a harvest boat can only lift two or three sacks, but today Kent's boat took a full nine and a half loads.

"God, I never thought I could catch so many salmon in one trip. Kent, you are amazing."

After finishing the work on the ship, Kent met Old Cole with a surprised look on his face after boarding the ship.

"Cole, is the total weight out?" Although Kent had an estimate, he also wanted to know how much he gained today.

"Pounds, Kent, your catch today is estimated to be more than the other boats put together."

The smile on Kent's face could no longer be suppressed and bloomed like a chrysanthemum, "Old Cole, I am the best fisherman in Apas Port."

"I believe that after today, no one will doubt your words again."

Lidya curled her lips and whispered, "Without Zhao insisting on changing places, how could you have gained so much?"

Did Kent hear that?

The answer is yes, but he can pretend he didn't hear it.

Taking Cole's order, Kent handed it to his daughter and asked her to check out.

Kent chatted with Cole for a while, and Cole sighed: "There are one-third fewer salmon fishing boats than last year."

"Why?" Kent also noticed this, and this was what he was puzzled about.

"Why else. Kent, what's your quota for this year?"

"11 pounds." Kent said without thinking. This morning when he got on the boat, the list Lidia brought to him was a quota form, telling him his daily harvest and the remaining quota so far.

"However, there are not many boats this year. When my quota is full, I can still apply or receive a smaller quota at a lower price."

Old Cole shook his head, "Your harvest last year was pretty good, so you don't have any other thoughts, but the harvest of a large number of people is not good. After excluding the costs, the money earned is

It's not enough for them to spend the whole year, so some people have set their sights on the Bering Sea. I heard that the harvest there may exceed 30 US dollars. "

Kent sneered, "You don't even know how to catch salmon. They still want to catch crabs in such a dangerous place. They really don't want to live or die."

Old Cole shrugged, "Kent, there are always people who think they deserve more money."

At this time, Lidia came over and their chat ended. After getting in the car, she handed a check to her father, "When are you going to pay the boatman's dividend?"

Kent took a look at the data and saw $5.5. He couldn't hide the joy on his face. This was also his highest income since fishing.

Hearing his daughter's question, he replied: "We will give it out tomorrow. Let's give each person an extra 1000 dollars. That brat Zhao asked me to give out the bonus. Damn it, all the good people did it for him."

Lidya couldn't help but burst into laughter. The two men were like children, which was quite interesting.

"Dad, can we take Zhao's half?"

Kent shook his head, "If he said he didn't want it, he wouldn't ask for it again. Joey said that although Zhao was young, he valued feelings over interests.

According to what he said, Zhao is a very charming person, but in my opinion, he is just a sharp-tongued brat. "

You can praise Zhao Qin, but you must add a complaint. This is Kent's last insistence.

"Half of this check is for next year's college expenses."

"Dad, I don't need that much. Besides, I can work and make money myself."

Kent looked at his daughter, his eyes full of love, "Don't you think your Chinese is not good enough? You can spend money to hire a better teacher."

Without waiting for his daughter to refute, he added: "That's it, let's go home, and then... go to the hotel."

"Meet Zhao?"

"Why are you meeting him? I'm going to see your Uncle Joey."

Even so, after getting home and washing up, Kent opened the cupboard, took out something similar to a blanket, packed it up, held it in his hand, and called his daughter out again.

Lidya was shocked when she saw this, "Dad, this is your favorite, are you going to give it away?"

"Zhao Ming will bring me a gift next year. I will give him a good one first so that next year he will not fool me with bad things. This is not a gift, this is an investment. Do you understand?"

Well, you're a dead duck, all the rest of your body is still hard except for your mouth.
