Golden Fishery

  Shrimp-catching pots were pulled up one by one, and the smiles on the fishermen’s faces grew more and more.

  The fifty boxes of the first cage string were pulled up, almost all returned with loads, a total of sixty or seventy lobsters were inside. There is at least one lobster in each box, and two more, an absolute harvest!

   "We are so lucky!" A fisherman couldn't help but sighed.

  The bull glared at him and said, "You are as stupid as a lobster. Are we lucky? No, the captain’s family spell is powerful!"

  The pipe was held in the pipe and nodded, "Well, the bull is a good flatterer!"

  After hearing this, the group laughed, and the bull said unconvincedly: "Isn't it?"

  Qin Shiou smiled and patted him on the shoulder to signal not to get excited, and said: "I am also lucky, no matter how powerful the spell is, it depends more on the will of God."

  This is an advantage in North America. If you encounter lazy explanations or things that cannot be explained, just say ‘God’s will’.

   Lobsters are really stupid, or they are too greedy. In fact, according to Canadian government regulations, these shrimp traps have two openings, one on the front and the other on the side.

  This way the lobster gets into the cage and can escape as long as you turn around. This is to protect the renewable use of lobster resources.

  But the lobsters that get into the cage rarely escape. They are not good at swimming. They are generally lazy and greedy. They eat bait with relish in the cage, and they are full after eating. The rest is rest.

  Roughly divide the lobsters according to their head sizes. Five fishermen kept taking out the lobsters and throwing them into the carts. Two people were responsible for sending the carts into the ice compartment.

  After pulling up a cage string. Qin Shiou directed Shaq to continue to move on to the next one, so that a string of cages could be pulled up in about twenty minutes, and the first harvest was over after one and a half hours.

  200 cages, because the position of the shrimp cages placed by Qin Shiou is exactly on their migration route. So a bumper harvest was made, with three hundred small lobsters in one go.

  The bull asked the smoking gun to estimate the weight, and the smoking gun groaned: "About 500 kilograms."

  Hearing his words, the fishermen cheered again. The bull's face flushed, and he thumped the ship's side and shouted "Yeah".

  Five hundred kilograms of lobster is thousands of pounds. Now the price of lobster has soared. Even if it is wholesaled out of the seaport, one pound has risen to more than 20 yuan.

  In this way, a thousand pounds of lobster is 20,000 yuan, and each of them can get more than 500 yuan.

  More than five hundred yuan is not much, but this is just a trip to collect the cage. Collect the cage quickly during the day. It can be collected once in half a day, so that it can be collected three times a day, and optimistically, you can get 1,500 yuan a day!

  Qin Shiou feels that 20,000 yuan is nothing, but it is more than so much money to do maintenance for the Porsche 918.

  Looking at the fishermen happy, he simply asked them to be more happy, waved to make them quiet, and then said: "This is our first harvest. I decided to distribute all the money to you!"

   "Give us all the money for 500 kilograms of lobster?!"

   "Yes, you assign it yourself, and the pipes and Shaq are responsible."

  Qin Shiou nodded with certainty. When the voice fell, the fishermen immediately ran over and grabbed him to carry him on his shoulders.

  At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the pale golden sunlight was shining on the surface of the sea, sprinkled on the faces of these fishermen that were particularly rough due to wind and rain, and they seemed particularly gentle.

  After the harvest, Qin Shiou immediately commanded the shrimp cage to move forward for more than ten kilometers and continue to put it into the sea. His target this time was the group of migrating lobsters. Four to five thousand are enough.

  Get the promise from Qin Shiou. The fishermen worked harder and respected him more.

  Shaq reminded: “BOSS, we have already negotiated the profit distribution standard in advance, you don’t need to spend so much money. The price we started to give is very fair.”

  Qin Shiou said I understand that this is all small money and nothing. Just be happy everyone.

  Of course he did this not only to be happy, but also to let these fishermen know that following him Qin Shiou can make a lot of money.

  His fishing grounds will begin to harvest this spring. Qin Shiou now only has four fishermen, which is far from enough. Normally, the fisherman will temporarily hire fishermen to work during the harvest period, which saves money and guarantees efficiency.

  Qin Shiou is not prepared to do this. He wants to build a strong fisherman team with Shaq and Nelson as the core.

  The ten smokers may not have the best physique and skills among fishermen, but Qin Shiou liked them. These people were willing to volunteer to help the town repair the church. They were of good character, which was very precious.

  This time out to sea, Qin Shiou will make ten people make a lot of money, and then bind them to the fishing boat. Capitalist society is like this. You have to let your people follow you to make money, so that you can win over people's hearts.

   Put down the shrimp trap, Qin Shiou led the fishermen to continue their work, this time still catching haddock.

  After the sky cleared, Qin Shiou found that there were many more fishing boats on the sea, most of which were shrimp boats. He drove along, and he counted no fewer than forty boats!

   "So many lobster catchers?" Qin Shiou took a telescope and looked around. There were many ball buoys of all kinds, sizes and shapes floating on the surface of the sea.

With the pipe dangling in his mouth, he said vaguely: "What's this? The Gulf of St. Lawrence can produce 9,000 tons of lobster every year! If it weren't for the storm raging the day before yesterday, all the ships would stay here. There were at least 200,000 catches in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Lobster pot!"

   "So many?" Qin Shiou took a cold breath. There were only two hundred cages on his boat. According to the ratio, there would be more than 1,000 shrimp boats on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

   "No way, who makes this thing worth money now?"

   "Yeah, when did lobster become so expensive? It used to be eaten by slaves. At that time, as long as they could eat bread, no one would eat it."

   "At that time, there was a law that, in order to show the humane care for slaves, slaves could eat up to five tons a week. Haha, now we are not as good as slaves." The group said with a smile and shook their heads.

   Indeed, before the middle of the 19th century, Americans did not eat lobster. As for Canadians? At that time Canadians didn't pay attention to things like lobsters.

  Continued until the middle of the 19th century, lobster was the food of the poor and the bottom of society. At that time, the army stipulated that soldiers could not eat lobster more than twice a week.

  At that time, eating lobsters was most often used by prisoners in prison, and eating lobsters with grim faces was regarded as a punishment for dishonest prisoners.

  Furthermore, the only use of lobster at the time was to use it as fertilizer and fish food. In the 20th century, American talents began to treat lobster as food, but the treatment was very low, and the price was cheaper than low-nutrient canned food.

  Qin Shiou feels that it is the Asians who really revitalize the large lobster market-not only the Chinese, but the Japanese and Koreans also have a soft spot for this stuff. Lobster sashimi has always been the top delicacy in Japanese cuisine. (To be continued~^~)
