Chapter 110 Bluefin Tuna
Bai Haijian had already set off with the fishing boat at ten o'clock.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Qin Yingxue released the yacht and had Zhang San steer it, heading straight for Bai Haijian's direction.
During the day, she placed a tracker on him; it was only half the size of a grain of rice and could not be found unless one was specifically looking for it.
The yacht entered stealth mode and headed towards the red dot on the display panel.
They chased for over an hour, only catching up with Bai Haijian's fishing boat when they were almost in deep water.
This time, the fishing boat was not as big as the last one, and there were not many fishermen; there were only six in total, including the boatman.
Bai Haijian stood out among the group because going out to sea at night was extremely dangerous, and people were basically risking their lives.
It was precisely because Qin Yingxue understood this that she was hesitant to come along.
They gestured for Zhang San to stop the yacht 500 meters away from them and then followed them into the deep sea.
Qin Yingxue checked the weather forecast: wind force level 1-2, waves 0.5-1.2 meters.
There are slight waves on the sea, but they do not affect navigational safety.
After their fishing boat stopped near a deserted island and began casting its nets, Qin Yingxue signaled Zhang San to take the yacht around the island.
Only after the radar detector emitted a series of beeps did Qin Yingxue order Zhang San to stop the yacht and begin casting the net.
Previously, radar detectors would show what kinds of sea fish were in the deep sea, and there were no exaggerated beeping sounds.
This time, Qin Yingxue keenly sensed that what was below was not simple.
At the same time, Qin Yingxue understood why this group of people came out at night.
An hour later, Zhang San began to close the net.
Qin Yingxue stepped forward nervously, and when she saw that in the fishing net, besides some lively little fish and shrimp, there was also a familiar tuna.
Before Qin Yingxue could take a closer look, she heard a gasp from the other side.
Clearly, the other fishing boat had a big catch.
Qin Yingxue composed herself and searched directly on the online store. It showed that there was a large tuna weighing 80 jin (40 kg), priced at 75 yuan per jin, for a total of 6000 yuan.
220 catties of sea bream, 60 yuan per catty, totaling [amount missing].
180 catties of pomfret, 30 yuan per catty, totaling 5400 yuan.
This net totaled [amount] yuan.
Qin Yingxue subconsciously looked at the radar detector and saw that it was still beeping. She took a deep breath and told Zhang San to continue casting the net.
This time, in less than half an hour, Qin Yingxue saw the beeping sound on the radar detector disappear and quickly told Zhang San to close the net.
With excitement in her heart, Qin Yingxue helped pull in the net. When she saw the huge figure in the net, she hurriedly searched for it on the online store.
This time, the words "Bluefin Tuna" appeared on the screen, and Qin Yingxue breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In her previous life, she was fortunate enough to see a 300-pound bluefin tuna being auctioned on television, which sold for a high price of 20.
Of course, the scarcity of bluefin tuna in later generations is one reason, and another is that wealthy people do charity to increase their visibility.
Bluefin tuna normally costs between 200 and 600 yuan per jin (500g). The bluefin tuna she caught tonight weighed 120 jin (60kg) and the online store offered it for 800 yuan per jin.
One fish sold for 100 yuan.
Qin Yingxue's eyes lit up. She had Zhang San move the yacht to a different location and then continued casting the net.
She kept a close eye on the radar detector; as soon as it beeped, it meant there was a large shipment.
They worked until 5 a.m., when the sky was just beginning to lighten, but they still couldn't catch any more bluefin tuna. Instead, they caught net after net of ordinary tuna.
The price difference between 800 yuan per kilogram and 75 yuan per kilogram is too big.
Qin Yingxue looked rather dejected.
But seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yingxue realized that Bai Haijian's fishing boats showed no sign of returning, so she had no choice but to instruct Zhang San to turn back.
Since nothing happened late at night, nothing will happen during the day either.
Back at the beach, Qin Yingxue hurriedly stowed the yacht, took an invisibility pill, and rushed towards the troops.
As soon as I pushed open the gate, I saw Zhu Huiwen watering the wooden box where I had sown vegetable seeds yesterday.
The invisibility pill's effects hadn't worn off yet, so Qin Yingxue tiptoed upstairs, put the doll into her spatial storage, and lay down on the bed.
I glanced at my wrist; it was exactly 7:30. I could still sleep for another half hour.
Qin Yingxue yawned, feeling extremely sleepy. Before falling asleep, she vaguely thought that if she hadn't brought her mother-in-law along, would she not have to rush around like this every day?
As long as Song Yanchuan is away on a mission and not in the military, she can stay away for a few days before coming back.
However, if the mother-in-law isn't around, and the Wen siblings are at home, someone will always have to cook for them. It seems that everything has its pros and cons...
I don't know if the good luck from last time has run out, but Bai Haijian's biggest harvest in one night was two buckets of sea bream and three buckets of pomfret. Although they can be sold for a little money, it is far from comparable to last time.
Their goal for tonight was tuna, but apart from Lao Bai catching an 80-pound tuna, the others didn't even see a shadow of it.
As dawn approached, everyone was exhausted and knew that continuing would make it even less likely to catch anything good. Just as they were about to return, a rustling sound suddenly came from the deserted island.
Before anyone could react, one of them was hit on the forehead.
He instinctively reached out and touched it, only to see warm liquid dripping down. He panicked immediately: "Sea monsters! We're surrounded by sea monsters!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're at sea, how could they surround us?" a bearded middle-aged man said dismissively.
But the next moment, a rock the size of an adult's fist was hurtling toward his face.
"Watch out..." Bai Haijian reacted quickly and tackled him to the ground.
The bearded man awoke from his shock and, upon seeing the rocks that had fallen onto the boat, flew into a rage. Without hesitation, he grabbed his hunting rifle and unleashed a barrage of shots at the deserted island.
Everyone tried to stop them, but it was too late.
Moreover, in just a short time, several people on the ship had already been ambushed, and everyone's tempers were rising.
Those who venture out to sea are almost always prepared for a near-death experience, and they bring self-defense tools such as hunting rifles, long knives, or machetes.
Only Bai Haijian took out a chipped kitchen knife.
But at this point, no one laughed; everyone stared warily at the deserted island.
"Captain, hurry up and set sail," the bearded man whispered, seeing that the deserted island was quiet.
The boat captain nodded and was about to start the boat when everything went black. He felt a sharp pain on his scalp, and then his face was covered in warm liquid.
"It's a wild monkey! We've been ambushed by wild monkeys..." One of the men saw a gray wild monkey stretch out its sharp five claws and was scratching at the boat captain's face. He immediately grabbed his shotgun and fired a series of shots at the monkey.
