Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Not long after, the sales manager came over and immediately changed his expression: "Sit down, sit down, I'll make you some tea. I've been busy, so have some tea first."

Li Hu asked: "Is the price you just mentioned okay?"

The sales manager said, "Since you guys are friends with our boss, why didn't you tell us earlier? Our boss said he would give you a 45-meter double trawler for free."

When Liu Xialian heard this, she knew she was being scammed. Usually, when a restaurant owner meets an old acquaintance, he can't help but give up the bill. Usually, it's a few dozen or 100 or 100 yuan, even 300 or 500 yuan is acceptable. Who would sell a fishing boat for free? A 45-meter fishing boat is a medium-sized fishing boat, with an 800-horsepower diesel engine and a width of at least 7 meters. It's a real behemoth.

"Don't joke, we are really here to buy a boat. I have heard of people eating for free, but I have never heard of people selling boats for free. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."

The sales manager was also confused, but since he was the boss's distinguished guest, he dared not offend him, and quickly explained: "The boss said it himself, he went to change his clothes and will be here soon, you can ask him when he comes."

Liu Xialian, Li Hu and the others were all confused, but since they were already here, they decided to wait and see. There was no need to worry about them playing any tricks, the truck was right at the door, and Xiao Li was watching the truck in the cab, so he could rush in with just a shout.

Liu Xialian was just daydreaming when a middle-aged man in his thirties came in, wearing a well-fitting black suit and black leather shoes. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked quite heroic. He patted his sleeves with both hands and bowed.

"Thank God, I finally met my benefactor. Sister Liu is so grateful."

Liu Xia Lian hurriedly supported him: "No, big brother, it's not the New Year yet, we can't do this big ceremony, get up quickly, get up quickly."

"My benefactor, do you still remember me?"

Li Hu and others fainted, but Liu Xia Lian remembered that when they were rescuing Boss Huang in northern Myanmar, they saved a stranger named Hu Gang while hunting rabbits. Liu Xia Lian gave him two hundred yuan before leaving.

"Boss Hu, this is really fate. You are still quite young."

Mr. Hu said to the sales manager, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the restaurant and order some food. I want to treat my benefactor to a meal at noon."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Liu Xia Lian quickly stopped him: "Mr. Hu, there's no need. We just came here to buy a boat to fish. Since we are acquaintances, you can just give us a discount. If you give us a free meal, we definitely won't accept it."

"Of course I can have it. You don't know how hard I have been searching for my benefactors. I think about them day and night. In life, a favor must be repaid and a grudge must be avenged. This 45-meter boat is my way of repaying a favor. If you buy a boat next time, it's a business deal. You should pay as much as you deserve. The rules cannot be broken."

Liu Xia Lian said no, but Hu Gang insisted on giving it to her. Finally, Hu Gang got angry and said, "Sister Xia Lian, although my factory is small, my Hu family is a wealthy family in Liaodong. We have been rich since the Ming Dynasty. A 45-meter ship costs hundreds of thousands, which is nothing to me. I will feel at ease if you accept it."

It was like a quarrel, and Li Hu was upset when he saw it. He said, "Sister, Mr. Hu means well. If you don't like it, just accept it. We will book the boat from Mr. Hu in the future."

Hu Gang said, "Let's do this. There just happened to be a 45-meter ship that was just built. I'll give it to you. It has a 200-cubic-meter freezer compartment. It will be ready for use next year after a generator is installed. You won't need it now."

Liu Xia Lian is not the kind of person who likes to haggle. I don’t want it, but you insist on giving it to me, so I have no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, thanks, Brother Hu. I'll take it."

"Come on, let's go to the beach and look at the boats."

The three followed Hu Gang to the beach and boarded the boat.

This boat is really big. Li Hu made two trips back and forth. It is much more impressive than the river boat.

This is a double trawling net, which uses a large net of 50 to 60 meters. Different fishes are caught with different mesh sizes. Li Hu was itching to get his hands dirty, so he suggested, "Sister, let's use a few nets. If we get something, we can save money on purchasing."

Liu Xialian nodded and asked Hu Gang: "Can we try to catch a few nets?"

"No problem at all, it's just a little cold. I'll call some boatmen."

Such a large fishing boat requires six or seven people to operate, especially after the net is pulled up, it needs to be sorted. Fish and shrimp that do not meet the specifications will be thrown back into the sea, and those that meet the standards will be put into turnover baskets according to classification and then neatly stacked.

The group was dressed neatly. Hu Gang started the boat, blew the whistle long, and slowly left the dock and headed west towards the Bohai Sea.

Liu Xia Lian stood at the bow to direct the operation, while Li Hu led the crew to operate.

"Use a large trawl net and set the net. After this one, there really should be no need to restock."

Hu Gang laughed in the cab, saying, "Just have fun. Fishing is not that easy. Many people have been fishing since they were young, and they keep fishing until their beards turn white, but there are few times when they can catch thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms of fish."

The large hosting net was about sixty meters long. It took about ten minutes to drag it according to the route planned by Liu Xialian.

Liu Xia Lian arranged: "Stop the boat and pull the net."

Whether the net is hauled successfully or not depends on the seagulls. Seagulls are known as thief birds, and once they come over, it means the net has been broken.

Dozens of seagulls flew over, calling out to each other, and started to make a fuss at the stern of the ship.

The four hired sailors were all shouting, "The net is broken, the net is broken."

As the large net was slowly pulled onto the deck of the ship, seagulls swooped over to grab it. What kind of fish was this? It looked like a cutlassfish, but shorter and with smaller eyes.

Hu Gang came out of the driving building and laughed: "The Bohai Sea knife fish has been caught in the net. This net must weigh four or five thousand kilograms. I'm going to set off firecrackers."

Hu Gang took a bunch of red earth hanging balloons and opened them on the boat. The crackling sound could not scare away the seagulls.

The sailors were busy for a while. Li Hu and Xiao Zhang also joined in the work, wearing rubber gloves and quickly putting the fish into the basket. It took the six of them more than half an hour to clean up the whole net of knife fish.

Li Hu asked: "Sister, when will the second network be released?"

"Just follow my instructions, don't worry."

The boat continued to move forward for a few minutes, and then Liu Xialian shouted, "Hurry up and drop the trawl."

This time the trawling time was shorter, about seven or eight minutes at most, and then the boat was stopped to pull the net.

Hu Gang was a little puzzled. Normally, the time it takes for people to set up trawl nets for fishing is calculated in hours. How could one collect the nets in just seven or eight minutes?

The seagulls are making trouble on the Internet again. It has exploded again. It is full and packed to the brim.

"Cuttail fish, cuttail fish, all of them. We encountered a school of fish."

Forty minutes later, Li Hu, Xiao Zhang and several sailors sat down on the deck to rest, exhausted.

The two nets caught 10,000 kilograms of the more expensive Bohai knife fish and Bohai hairtail. Good quality ones could be sold for 70 or 80 cents per kilogram, and those of poor quality were sold for around 40 cents.

Hu Gang smacked his lips and said, "Sister Xia Lian, other people fish to make a living, but you are digging for gold, which is faster than robbing a bank."
