Godly Fisherman

"Brother Peng, this thing is so delicious!" Xiaoqiu carried a basket of oranges and ran into the kitchen: "It's a pity that it is too troublesome to make. And the oranges are too small. Boss, you said that you use grapefruit to make this thing. Ok?"

Xiao Peng gave him a white look: "The grapefruit peel is so thick, are you so steamed? Can you taste it if you can't steam it? Don't worry if you want to eat this stuff!"

Xiaoqiu nodded: "I will do it again now, whoever wants to eat will help me process oranges!"

Nikita hurriedly said, "I'll help you! You teach me how to do it."

"Boss, do you want to eat? You want to eat and help me cut the oranges!" Xiaoqiu said with a smug expression.

Xiao Peng raised his **** to him: "Make twenty for me, and I will eat it tonight! Remember, don't put salt, it's a bit of a crab meat taste."

After hearing this, Xiaoqiu's triumphant expression froze on his face, and he processed the oranges in despair. He just learned the recipe of a delicacy, and he forgot that Xiao Peng was the boss.

As soon as Xiao Peng wanted to educate Xiaoqiu, he heard Yang Meng's voice on the walkie-talkie: "Dear Captain, come out and watch the fun!"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng pressed the call button: "What is the excitement?"

"It's fighting outside!" Yang Meng said.

"Fighting?" Xiao Peng was stunned, and ran out of the cabin quickly.

He thought it was the crew fighting, but it turned out well, everyone was lying on the ship's side to watch the excitement.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Peng asked.

"Boss, come and watch the excitement, fight!" Seeing Xiao Peng coming, someone greeted him quickly and gave Xiao Peng a place for Xiao Peng to take a look too.

Xiao Peng almost cursed the street with annoyance: "Do you really want to die? Who allows you to approach the ship's side to watch the excitement when nothing is wrong? What is written in the safety manual on the ship? And now it is in the North Pacific. Rice! I think I can do it, right? Go back to the room and copy the safety rules a hundred times!"

"No! Boss!" A group of people fell frustrated.

"Nothing, no? Don’t hurry up and copy it? I’ll take you all alive and kicking out one by one, and I’m going to take you back with all your beards and tails! When you were working, I was still in fear, but it turned out well, you Do you die here? Go back and copy the safety manual!" Xiao Peng pointed towards the cabin.

A group of fishermen looked at Xiao Peng pinching his waist and giving directions, and sighed back to the cabin. There was applause nearby, Xiao Peng took a look, Yang Meng was looking at him with his head out of the cockpit.

"What's up? What's coming in?" Xiao Peng walked into the cockpit and asked Yang Meng.

Yang Meng pointed to Georgina who was holding the telescope there: "The telescope is there. Go and see for yourself."

Xiao Peng glanced at the relish Georgina who was looking at the telescope, but don't talk to her. He opened the closet and took out a telescope to look at the sea in the distance. Hey, it's lively enough. Two fishing boats are playing there. 'Bumper Boat' too!

Those were two crab-filling boats with similar tonnage. People on both sides threw stones at each other, and the two boats were still colliding with each other. What kind of hatred is this?

"Xiao, what's going on?" Georgina put down the telescope and asked Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The annual crab fishing season is from November to March of the year. Both boats come here to catch crabs at a stuck time. Now it is getting harder and harder to make a profit from fishing. The pressure is also increasing. There is not so much politeness at sea. It is normal to have disputes over fishing grounds and places. The ocean looks big enough, but the places where crabs can be easily removed are also limited. However. It is normal for fishermen to scold a few words. It is relatively rare for these two ships to collide with each other. What a grudge, what a grudge!"

Georgina blinked: "I didn't see the pressure on the crew on your ship."

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Miss, you have a good father. He has never bothered about money, but do you know? Generally speaking, the income of the crew on a fishing boat is proportional to the catch, and many crew members are There is no basic salary, only the sales share! The cost is also calculated. A trip to the sea costs thousands of dollars for gas, and more for long distances. There are also supplements such as food and water. Fishing here is used by everyone. The bait is frozen trash fish, which costs one dollar per kilogram, and requires at least two thousand dollars of bait per trip. In addition to the purchase of fishing quota permits, plus various consumption, at least five thousand dollars a week at sea. In addition to the fisherman’s commission, what equipment consumes and what, the cost is extremely high. How to catch the most fish in the fastest and most efficient manner every time you come out is something that every captain must consider, and every good fishing point is a must It’s a fight--no one wants to lose money, right?"

Nikita, who followed in, asked curiously, "Does this crab cage still have so much knowledge?"

"Of course! If the depth of the seabed is too deep, there will be no way for the crab cages to reach that depth. Moreover, each crab boat has a large number of cages, and ten crab cages on our ship can be dragged out 20 to 30 nautical miles. , What about them? A string of at least twenty or thirty cages, a lot of cages on a boat! That would take up a lot of space. What if someone else takes up the space? What if someone else comes back? There can only be disputes. Our boat is different from them. We can go to the deep sea to trawl fishing, but what about them? They can only lower their cages in the shallow waters of the continental shelf. So in such a place, it is impossible to give up ------ but they collided like this is still too much This is desperate! Mengzi, don't you shout and persuade them?"

After Yang Meng heard this, he pointed forward: "Boss, how do you tell me to persuade? If we pass, they can turn their heads and bump us together, do you believe it or not? Besides, look at the flag on their ship."

Xiao Peng came back to his senses, picked up the binoculars to observe and smiled wryly: "Yes, this is really lively."

After listening, the Nikita sisters carefully observed: "Is that the Turkish and Russian fishing boats? The Russian fishing boats can understand, the Turkish fishing boats are here to work?"

Xiao Peng answered Nikita’s question: “Whether it’s the Black Sea or the Mediterranean, the fishery resources are very poor now. Turkish fishermen generally go to the Atlantic to fish. Of course, there are also true ocean fishermen who go to the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Africa, etc. Local fishing, after catching, selling on the spot, and then looking for the next place, a bit like a Gypsy. We have many such ocean fishing boats in China, and they go to South America, Africa and other places to fish. It takes two or three years to return to the sea. Home. It’s not easy to make money, isn’t it?"

Georgina suddenly asked Xiao Peng a question: "You said that Russian fishing boats and Turkish fishing boats collided with each other. I understand it. This is a question left over from history. But why did you say that they could unite and hit us in the past?"

Many countries in the world have war issues. The most famous one is probably the Anglo-French War. The two countries fought a total of 116 years before they could win. 2. In fact, the real feud should be regarded as Turkey and Russia. At that time, Turkey was still called the Ottoman Empire, while Russia was still Tsarist Russia, and the two countries fought for 240 years. Twelve battles were fought in which there were named and named wars! Today, many people do not understand why Turkey always troubles Russia in the international arena. In fact, this is the real problem left over from history-the ancestors on both sides have broken their heads. Do you still expect their offspring to get along with each other?

So it’s not surprising that the Russian fishing boats and the Turkish fishing boats have a dispute, but if they unite and hit Xiao Peng, it would be a little weird.

Xiao Peng pointed to an LCD screen on the bridge. There were blue and green bars on the screen: "Our current position belongs to the main fishing ground. Here are the laws and regulations between the trawler and the crab boat. During this period of time, the trawlers are not allowed to enter. Did you see the green and blue bars here? This shows that there are crab fishing gears here. If the trawler is found to enter the crab catching area, it will be fined 25,000 US dollars. Unfortunately, our boat catches crabs and lobsters for fun. We are a trawler, so we cannot work here."

"That's not right, you said that you can only fine if you can't work here, but we didn't trawl here, just passing by. Isn't it OK?" Nikita asked.

Xiao Peng smiled: "It's alright, but it's better to leave it alone, because the trawlers and crab boats are natural enemies. The crab boats can't wait for all the trawlers to disappear from this world. If we go over, if we pull over, The two ships can only work together to deal with us."

"Why is this?" Nikita asked.

Xiao Peng smiled and explained: "How do you say it, this general fishing trawler works by dragging the net to the stern. At both ends of the net mouth are two 1,500-pound iron doors propped up and sinking into the seabed, and the boat is towing. The fishing net moves forward along the bottom of the sea, digging up everything along the way like a plow, and if you encounter a crab trap, then it will be dragged up together. This is actually a lose-lose thing, if the trawl is dragged to the crab trap, it means The fish caught in this net ran away. It took hours of trawling time in vain. For the crab boat, this is even more unbearable, because it means that a bunch of crab cages are discarded. Like them A bunch of professional crab cages like that cost almost US$10,000. Not to mention losing money, the absence of a cage means that it is impossible to continue fishing, although there are hooks on the ship to find broken crab cages in such situations. , But the success rate is not high-after all, the seabed is too vast."

Nikita laughed after hearing this: "It's no wonder that those crabbing boats are so fiercely trawling fishing boats. This is a smashing job!"

Xiao Peng said with disdain: "The 80% of the crab cages lost every year are caused by the overlapping positions of the crab cages arranged by different crab boats. You can see that the signs on this chart are densely packed, and it is strange that there are no problems. But all crab boats like to push the problem on the trawlers. I don’t know what they think. Mengzi, tell them, it’s going to change. If they’re going to crash, we don’t wait for them to win. Lost!"
