Chapter 295 The Romance of the Sea

Before he knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Lu Xiaolu searched the bottom of the sea twice, but he didn't find the big puffer fish, and he didn't know where it was hiding.

The situation on the bottom of the sea is complicated, and there are various reefs and caves, one by one.

Just forget it, there is never enough fish to catch, and neither is money to be earned.

The sea is like a huge cornucopia, the treasures inside are inexhaustible, no matter how greedy Lu Xiaolu is, it is impossible for him to live in it all the time.

Lu Xiaolu went to cook, while Xue Li leaned on the table, wrote and drew by the lamp, and calculated the approximate income of this trip. Of course, this was estimated by the two of them, and it was for reference only.

The fat bluefin tuna is about 15000 yuan, and the other big one is 25000 yuan.

Yellowtail is 80 catties, and it is estimated to be about 200 catties, which is 16000 yuan.

Four red-finned pufferfish, about 3600 yuan.

A bow-spotted puffer fish weighs 8 catties and costs about 1200 yuan.

Two star-point puffer fish cost 600 yuan in total.

A 5-jin worm-pattern Dongfang costs 700 yuan.That's all their income today.

Shirley's green and jade-like fingers nimbly clicked on the mobile phone calculator, and she was still chanting words.

“15000+25000加+16000+3600+1200+600+700。”

"It's 62100 yuan in total."

Shirley bit the barrel of her pen and wrote it down in her notebook.

This time they went out to sea against wind and waves, and they went fishing in several places, so the fuel consumption was much higher.

If there is no strong wind or tailwind on the way back, the fuel consumption of this trip will be about 2500 yuan.

With 2000 ice cubes and 1000 frozen baits, the expenditure is 5500 yuan, and the net profit is 56600 yuan. The two will share equally, and each person will get 28300 yuan.

Shirley nodded in satisfaction, it's great to earn so much a day.

"Shirley, it's time to eat."

Lu Xiaolu came in with two bowls of rice.

Today is a rice bowl, a hodgepodge rice bowl, all meat and vegetables are stewed together, no beef is added, because there is no need to fish tomorrow.

Not only because of Shirley's arm, but also because of the dark clouds in the sky, and two thunderclaps just now.

Anyway, I have to go back tomorrow, so let's go back half a day earlier.

Shirley sat cross-legged on a chair, without shoes on, took the meal with a smile, and blinked her eyes.

"Donkey Oppa, guess how much money we earned today?"

"100."

"Screw you!"

"Hahaha."

It was cloudy outside, but Lu Xiaolu and Xueli were in a good mood.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning fell from a height of tens of thousands of meters and hit the distant sea, making the entire night sky as bright as day.

Lu Xiaolu and Xueli swallowed, the lightning wouldn't strike their boat.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled thicker and thicker.

"How about going back now?"

"it is good."

Such a scene is too frightening. On the vast sea, black clouds cover your forehead, and lightning strikes the night sky from time to time.

Lu Xiaolu doesn't dare to bet on whether the next bolt of lightning will strike your boat, even if the probability is very, very low.

Moreover, the appearance of dark clouds was accompanied by strong winds. The sea that had been calm for a day began to roll up waves again, and the Golden Sailfish shook.

Xue Li wanted to drive the boat, but Lu Xiaolu asked her to go over to have dinner, and he would drive.

I started the fire, started it, weighed the anchor, and planned the route back.

After getting up to speed, the Golden Sailfish has been maintaining the highest economic speed.

He wanted to get as close to the pier as possible before the wind got higher.

It is not only for safety considerations, but also for fuel consumption.

It's not a sailboat, but it can also run with the help of wind.

Even with a tailwind, the waves can greatly increase fuel consumption.

While driving the boat, Lu Xiaolu was able to free up his hands to cook a couple of meals from time to time.

Surprisingly, Lu Xiaolu met Captain Zhang and the others on the way, and they still didn't leave, they were all fishing in raincoats.

"Zizi." Captain Zhang's voice came intermittently from the radio, and he couldn't hear clearly because it was disturbed by lightning.

Lu Xiaolu simply turned it off. He had heard people say that he had to turn off the TV when there was a thunderstorm, otherwise it would cause thunder.

Although he hasn't seen it before, it's better to take precautions.

Lu Xiaolu slowed down the speed of the boat, and slowly leaned over from behind, so that the anchor they didn't know where to place would not be caught here.

Wearing a raincoat, he walked onto the bow of the boat, which was only a dozen or ten meters away from them.

Captain Zhang had seen them a long time ago, and hurried over to say hello when he saw him coming.

"Captain Lu, are you going back now?" Captain Zhang shouted loudly, but he couldn't hear him if he didn't shout.

"Yes, the lightning outside is too scary, don't you guys go back?"

"I can't go back. It's only been two days since I came out this time. I just earned back my expenses, and I haven't made any money yet. I can't let the brothers work for two days in vain."

Indeed, this is the normal state of fishermen. As long as it is not yet a typhoon, they want to take a gamble.

Some are lucky and have earned money, or have been out at sea for many days, and it doesn't matter to go back when they encounter this kind of weather.

But like Captain Zhang and the others, those who have just set out to sea have just earned back their costs.

Even worse, if you haven't caught a single fish yet, you will lose money if you go back now, and you will lose even if you even pay the expenses.

Back and forth, wasting several days of time, isn't it a loss if you don't make a dime?

At this time, they can only continue to persevere, hoping that the storm will pass quickly, and it will not turn into a typhoon.

Compared with the typhoon, the terrifying looking lightning is not so bad.

The chance of being struck by lightning is very, very small, even less than the chance of winning 500 million.

Although a ship of this class does not have a lightning rod, worrying about being struck by lightning is like unfounded worry.

According to Captain Zhang, when the radio was still working just now, he had a phone call with Lao Wangtou of the Shanfeng, and the Shanfeng was not planning to leave. Late.

Shan Feng Hao and Lu Xiaolu went to sea together, and they have only been here for a day, so they must be reluctant to go back.

The round-trip gas money, ice money, etc. are quite expensive.

"Okay, I wish you all good luck, let's go." Lu Xiaolu greeted, turned the rudder full left, bypassed Captain Zhang and the others, and continued sailing.

The Golden Sailfish sailed through the wind and waves for an hour or two, and gradually there were fishing boats around it.

"dudu~"

The sirens kept sounding, and they all wanted to rush back before the storm came.

These have all stayed at sea for several days. Even if there is no lightning, they will return to Hong Kong in the next two days. Why not come back today.

There were not a few ships visible in the open sea, but when they approached the inland sea, seven or eight fishing boats turned on their searchlights, slowed down their speed, and approached the pier.

When they arrived at this place, all the captains couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although there was still lightning and thunder outside, the senses were indeed completely different.

Thinking that you can go ashore to sleep, play cards and eat melon seeds, and the ice bin is still full of harvest, those dark clouds and lightning are no longer scary in the eyes of everyone, but you suddenly feel the heroism of the sky.

Such scenery is not easy to see on land, this is the romance that belongs to the sea alone.
