Chapter 51
The low-end seafood market has been found, at least in a short period of time, Xiang Yang no longer has to worry about low-end seafood being unsalable.
But this can only be a stopgap measure.
Xiang Yang never thought that bundling sales of mid- and low-end seafood with best-selling seafood would be a long-term and stable sales channel. In the future, he would definitely continue to develop the market for mid- and low-end seafood, but it’s not yet that time .
After selling the unsalable seafood, Xiang Yang asked Uncle Xiang to drive a truck to the vegetable market not far from the seafood market to drag a whole truckload of vegetables and fruits.
After the trial voyage the day before yesterday, Xiang Yang was originally scheduled to officially go fishing today. Xiang Yang is going to proceed as planned, and Xiang Yang wants to sail far this time.
There is no shortage of meat and food at sea, but fresh water, vegetables and fruits must be replenished on the shore. Anyway, there is an empty truck right now, and Xiang Yang is not going to waste any more time going back to Huhai Town to buy vegetables and fruits. kind of it.
Back in Yanlong Village, Xu Fang and others were already waiting at Qinglongwan Wharf.
The new crew members were not very interested in seeing Xiang Yang come back with a cart of vegetables and fruits, but Xu Fang and Chen Qingsheng were very excited. Vegetables and fruits are extremely precious resources at sea. I can't eat vegetables, and my mouth will definitely fade out.
Thank you, Captain, you are so kind to us, Captain. Chen Qingsheng thanked Xiang Yang sincerely while carrying a box of cantaloupe over and over again.
Isn't it just some vegetables? The captain never saw you thank you so much when he gave out red envelopes. Fang Youqun and another crew member carried a heavy box of potatoes and said angrily.
Carrying a box of tomatoes, Xu Fang turned his head and glanced at Fang Youqun, and said in the same unkind way: You will know when you get to the sea.
Vegetables and fruits are not easy to preserve and need to be stored in the freezer, which takes up a lot of space on board.
In the past, when Xu Fang and the others were in the fleet, the boss was reluctant to prepare so many fruits and vegetables for each ship. When they arrived at sea, the fruits and vegetables were like gold, and ordinary crew members couldn't eat a few bites.
Xiang Yang seemed indifferent, Fang Youqun is right, it's just a little vegetables and fruits. These vegetables and fruits are not expensive, the most important thing is that a freezer needs to be kept open to consume electricity, and the crew does things for him, Xiang Yang doesn't want to I have treated everyone badly in terms of food, drink, housing and transportation.
Boxes of fruits, baskets of vegetables, and buckets of drinking water were all carried onto the fishing boat by the crew.
He Mingde inspected the entire deck, checked all the electrical equipment on board and shouted loudly: The hull and electrical system are all normal and can sail.
Zhou Wang also checked the winch and shouted: Everything is normal with the winch, and it can be used for trawling at any time.
Everything works ass. Xiang Yang knew that besides the winch, the most precious machine on the ship, the sonar fish school detector, hadn't been turned on until now.
However, this was something that couldn't be helped. Xiang Yang was the last one to walk up to the deck, and Chen Qingsheng immediately put the probe back on the deck.
Xiang Yang waved his hand on the pier, turned around randomly, grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: Due south, set sail!
The sea water on the side of the fishing boat began to churn, and the fishing boat slowly turned its bow and slowly accelerated towards the deep sea.
Most of the crew members on the deck ran to the stern and waved goodbye to those who saw them off on the pier.
Different from the last trial voyage, this is the first time that this fishing boat has gone to sea in a real sense. Almost every crew member on board has relatives to the pier to see off their son or husband.
Xiang's mother didn't come to buy seafood at home.
Accompanied by Xiang Shan, Father Xiang also stood in the crowd and waved goodbye to the fishing boat. Looking at the big boat sailing away through the wind and waves, an emotion called pride arose spontaneously in Xiang Fu's heart.
Soon the speed of the fishing boat climbed to 11 knots, and the people and things on the coastline became smaller and smaller. After standing on the fishing boat, the situation on the coast could no longer be seen clearly. Be active.
Captain, how many days are we going to go to sea this time? Fang Youqun asked vaguely while chewing on a cucumber.
Don't you look down on these fruits and vegetables? Why are you eating them now? Chen Qingsheng looked at Fang Youqun a little funny, I just went to sea and asked when I would go back? Are you homesick so soon?
Is it okay if I ask? Fang Youqun stared.
Xiang Yang smiled, I'm not sure when I'll go back, but I'll go back when I catch some valuable fish.
The diesel consumed by ocean-going fishing boats is an astronomical figure every time they go out to sea. Basically, no fishing boat will say that it will return to the voyage until the catch is full. The precious fish died on the boat.
Fang Youqun was a little eager to try, Captain, let's try dragging a net now?
Xiang Yang looked below the deck. The sea was calm and there was nothing but the endless sea, Xiang Yang immediately shook his head, Wait a little longer!
The crew were immediately disappointed.
He Mingde laughed and took a sip of Sprite, and didn't bother to explain to these young crew members why they didn't cast the net yet.
Submarine landforms consist of continental margins, oceanic basins, and oceanic ridges.
The current position of the fishing boat is the continental margin, which is composed of the continental shelf, continental slope and continental ridge.
Among them, the continental shelf is close to the coast, the slope is gentle, the sunshine is abundant, and most of the aquatic plants are lush, raising countless seafood such as scallops, swimming crabs, and giant lobsters.
The continental slope is the transition stage from the continental shelf to the ocean basin. The terrain is steep, and the seabed is almost all bare rocks. It is difficult to grow lush seaweed in this environment, resulting in scarce fish resources. This sea area is almost the most barren in the entire ocean. Sea area, trawling nets in this kind of place will definitely not make back the gas fee.
Soon, the fishing boat sailed out of the edge of the continent to the deep sea, where the coastline could no longer be seen at all.
Uncle Xiang raised his head and drank the drink in the bottle, walked up to Xiang Yang and asked, Xiao Yang, shall we try dragging a net now?
The crew members sitting and resting on the deck all raised their ears and looked towards Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang looked down the deck again, and Xiang Yang found that his eyesight seemed to have changed a bit compared to before. Standing on the deck, he could see through the sea water about ten meters below the sea. Although it is not as good as Xiang Yang's ability to see things hundreds of meters away at a glance like Xiang Yang's on the bottom of the sea, it is already very scary, it is simply a biological fish detector.
Through the surface of the water, Xiang Yang saw that the number of sea fish in this sea area gradually increased.
One species of fish with a flat head and about the length of an arm does not seem to be in the minority.
Master Xu, slow down the speed of the fishing boat, let's try to haul a net here. Xiang Yang called into the intercom.
Received. Xu Fang's voice came from the intercom, and then the fishing boat's speed began to gradually decrease.
Cast the net! Xiang Yang shouted at Zhou Wang.
Received! Zhou Wang, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately operated the winch, and a fine-mesh fishing net was thrown out of the fishing boat, and spread out at the stern of the fishing boat like a parachute.
