Golden Fishery

The Harvest is now Shedick's star. First, because of their rescue feat in the Kraken 18 storm, the media's overwhelming publicity made this ship a famous hero ship in North America.

The other is their catch, and now the fishermen in Shedick Port spread the word of mouth, and publicized the large number of lobsters they caught in two sea trips to the ears of every fisherman.

In this way, when the Harvest entered the port, a large number of fishermen stopped to watch, although the fishermen on other ships at sea and the Harvest were competitors, and they did everything they could to snatch resources.

But when they arrived at the port, they showed respect for the Harvest. Shaq sailed all the way, and the fishing boats on the channel gave way, allowing them to pass the green light all the way to the pier.

Sometimes when you meet a more elegant captain, you will whistle to them. If there are fishermen standing on the deck, when the Harvest passes by, they will take off their hats and wave to them.

Qin Shiou was greatly moved, and said, "It's too pretentious, damn it, they weren't like this when they followed us at sea."

Smoking Gun chuckled with a pipe in his mouth: "It's normal, Captain. To use our Newfoundland slang, that is, 'We are all money-making machines at sea, but we become civilized people on land'."

The Harvest docked at the pier, and Guy and Philip's assistants shook hands with Qin Shiou. Many fishermen who stayed at the pier leaned over. Most of them had only heard the rumor that the Harvest could catch a large number of lobsters every time they went out to sea, but they hadn't seen it. .

Depressed the whole trip to sea. When Qin Shiou was selling lobsters, he felt a little better, and Guy's assistant told him that the price of lobsters could be increased by two yuan per pound.

The massive lobster sales during Christmas and New Year's Day are now showing their impact on the market, with fewer lobsters in sight. The market supply has plummeted by 72% compared with previous years. It is estimated that from the middle of this year, the lobster market can only rely on deep-sea lobsters to play the leading role.

Knowing that a pound of lobster can now be sold for 42 yuan, the fishermen were greatly shocked. Old Zach said with emotion: "What a crazy price, 42 yuan! This is not a lobster, but a bluefin tuna shrimp!"

Qin Shiou read the introduction in the newspaper. In the past two years, the price of lobster was only 67 Canadian dollars per pound even when it was relatively good, but now it has suddenly risen to 42 yuan. And the price is still going up, which is amazing.

Smoker and Bull took people to the ice cabin to put the lobsters into the incubator, and the boxes of lobsters were hoisted out by the machine to be weighed, and then transported to the frozen transport truck. One box after another, in a row.

The fishermen around were stunned, and someone asked loudly in disbelief: "Hey, little captain, are all your boxes full of lobsters?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes,

Good luck this time, man, we got quite a few lobsters. "

"God, it's more than just good luck! It's so lucky to step on shit!" Someone said enviously.

The end result was 11,950 pounds of lobster. It sold for more than half a million Canadian dollars.

In addition to lobster, more than 1,100 pounds of queen crab, 550 pounds of coho salmon, and more than 2,000 pounds of Atlantic swordfish were also harvested, and Qin Shiou handled them together and gave them to Guy. It sold for 100,000 yuan.

The onlookers didn't know exactly how much Qin Shiou sold, but they knew that this guy must have made a fortune, because it has been more than a month, and no one has been able to bring back lobsters worth more than 10,000 pounds in one trip!

Lobsters used to be cheap, so fishermen had little interest in catching them, and most fishermen in the Gulf of St. Lawrence still make money by fishing.

As a result, the price of lobster started to rise a quarter ago. Almost everyone's eyes were red, and they went out to sea to catch lobsters.

There are many lobsters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. However, there are too many people who come to share this cup of soup, and when it is distributed to everyone, the number of lobsters drops sharply. Of course, because the price of lobsters has increased, the money earned from catching lobsters has not decreased, which is why fishermen are keen to snatch lobsters.

However, no shrimp fishing boat below 1,000 tons can catch 10,000 pounds or 5 tons of lobster at one time, and the shrimp fishing boats above 1,000 tons have all gone to the deep sea, so Qin Shiou created a small lobster in Snowdick this time. little legend.

The fish and shrimp were transported away from the ice cabin, and the bull and the smoking gun led the fisherman to start packing the fishing boat.

Although it is said that the fish and shrimp are put into the ice tank, in fact, the fish and lobster are not a kind of tank, and the fish are put into the low temperature tank, which is the real ice tank. Lobsters are placed in a constant temperature cabin, which is used to store shrimp and crabs. Shrimp and crabs need to be alive to sell at a high price, and dead ones are worthless.

The Harvest said it was 200 tons. The 200 tons is not the cargo capacity but the displacement. The cargo capacity is actually only about 40%, 80 tons. The ratio of the two cabins is 4:1, the ice cabin can hold more than 60 tons, and the constant temperature cabin can hold 17 or 18 tons.

There is no doubt that when cleaning the fish tank, it is more comfortable and less labor intensive to stay in the constant temperature cabin. Every time, Bull takes his own people to clean up the ice cabin, and leaves the opportunity to clean up the constant temperature cabin to Smoker. When Smoker picks people, he also picks older guys like Zac and Chalmer.

This has almost become an unspoken rule. There is no need to say anything. The people who are taken away by the bull wave directly enter the ice cabin, and no one complains.

Qin Shiou appreciates this very much. These ten fishermen are a great team, otherwise he would not have given high returns to take them down.

Taking Winnie and the dog with him, Qin Shiou went to the hotel first, and prepared a steaming meal for the fishermen.

The fishermen were working, and the text messages on the cell phone at the pipe rang, and the money that Wei Ni went to the bank to transfer to them arrived, 170,000 yuan.

"The captain is so cool, huh, I like him!" Smoker laughed while holding his phone.

Normally, the captain does not settle the income to the crew so quickly, it can even be said to be very slow. Generally speaking, the captain does not distribute the income to his subordinates at the end of a fishing season, but waits until the next fishing season begins.

This is the rule, because the captain needs to pay taxes on the money he gives to the crew. He has to wait until the specific tax comes out and deduct the tax before giving it to the crew.

On Qin Shiou's side, every time he gets the money, he immediately settles it with the fisherman. Taxes? Needless to say, I paid for it for you. Counting it on my fish farm, compared to the tens of millions of taxes from the fish farm, their few thousand yuan is really not enough.

It's the kind of detail that wins the hearts of fishermen the most, and who doesn't like getting paid early? Canadians often say that 'money is not yours until it is in your pocket', and they value money even more than Chinese.

Qin Shiou went to the hotel to sit down, and someone followed and asked directly: "Little Lobster Prince, may I ask if your boat is still recruiting?"

Looking at the fishermen, Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Sorry guys, I have enough brothers, twelve."

After hearing what he said, the fishermen were full of frustration, but a man with a vigorous face said, "Little Lobster Prince, are you interested in organizing a temporary fleet? According to the rules, we will pay you one-tenth of the money .” (to be continued)
