My Manor

"Boss, you can't always conscript me. If you really want to develop the ocean, it's time to recruit people." Standing on Jiang Hai's specially installed fishing boat, Philemon said to Jiang Hai with a depressed look.

His real identity is a cowboy, but Jiang Hai always turns him into a crew member, which is not a good thing because he hates the sea.

"Well, I know, it's not urgent today. I will go to recruit in two days." While following Edward Anderson's instructions to fix the fishing net at the back, Jiang Hai said to Philemon, who was complaining with a smile.

"I hope so!" Patting his forehead, Philemon said helplessly.

Originally, according to Edward Anderson's calculations, Jiang Hai should not spend too much money on buying fish fry.

All in all, about 10 million should be enough. After all, he was only going to buy cod at first. Later, Jiang Hai said he wanted to raise something valuable, so he naively thought he was going to raise American redfish. But who knew that after he went there, Jiang Hai's extravagant personality instantly took over. In addition to raising American redfish, he actually raised grouper, giant grouper, and four-year-old salmon? If it were just these, it would be fine, but what the hell is that king crab and those tiger prawns!

And the lobsters? Thinking of this, Edward Anderson's heart ached. If the things he raised this time really lost all his money, Jiang Hai would be in trouble. Fortunately, there were a lot of fish in the original fishery. According to Edward Anderson's research, if all the fish and shrimp in the fishery were caught, there would be about 8 million US dollars. Of course, Jiang Hai would not let him really catch them all. Maintaining the ecological chain of the ocean cannot rely solely on the fish raised by Jiang Hai.

However, catching some to "subsidize the family" is essential. At the same time, catching fish this way also leaves room for the new fry to survive. After all, after ten years of development, the fish in Jiang Hai's fishery are almost saturated.

If you don't catch some, when you put in the water plants and fry, those things will not be enough for the underwater creatures to eat.

So after buying fish fry and water plants yesterday, Jiang Hai went home and prepared the whole night. The next morning, Edward took him and Philemon, who was forcibly dragged from the cowshed by Edward, out to sea on a fishing boat.

Edward is indeed a top fisherman. The fishing boat he assembled is really not small and very good. Although it is not big, it runs fast on the sea and does not shake. Jiang Hai likes it very much. At the same time, the most important thing is that there are many rooms here, and the decoration inside is very good. It can be foreseen that even if they go out to sea and do deep-sea fishing in the future, it won't be too miserable.

The three people on the boat at this time, although they are on the same boat, have different moods.

Jiang Hai is excited because this is his first time going out to sea to fish in the true sense. The last time he came here to look for fish can't be considered fishing. Edward is a little anxious. He is eager to earn the first money for his boss. As for Philemon, well, he has no other thoughts except muttering there.

"Bang!" But just as Philemon was muttering happily, there was a sudden explosion, and a huge figure suddenly jumped out from the calm sea surface. The sea water instantly collapsed onto the boat, soaking Jiang Hai and Philemon. Fortunately, the two had already changed into the kind of waterproof clothes that fishermen wear, otherwise they would have been soaked.

"Shark, shark!" The explosion here also attracted the attention of Jiang Hai and Philemon. In Philemon's eyes, a huge shark jumped out directly from under the water, leaped above the sea level, and then fell heavily into the water, quickly swimming to the side of the fishing boat with its tail swaying.

This shark looked about four meters long. Of course, compared with the fishing boat that was dozens of meters long, it was still a small thing, but compared with humans, it was already twice as tall as an average person.

Seeing the sharks swimming close to the fishing boats, Philemon couldn't help but frown. For fishermen, having sharks follow them is not good news because sharks are also predatory fish. If their fishing boats set nets here, some of the fish will be eaten by sharks. Of course, if they only eat some, it's not bad. The most feared thing is that the sharks will break through the school of fish, and then they won't be able to catch fish, affecting the harvest. At the same time, the nets may also entangle the sharks.

If it is an ordinary reef shark, they may not care too much, but such a big shark can easily break the fishing net. You know, a cheap fishing net costs tens of thousands of US dollars, and the expensive ones even cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

So for regular fishermen, sharks, especially large sharks, are not good things.

Of course, if you catch sharks in the high seas and get shark fins, that's another story.

"It's okay, don't you recognize it? This is the tiger shark I raised!" However, compared to Philemon's surprise, Jiang Hai was much calmer. Lying on the side of the boat, looking at the shark swimming below, Jiang Hai recognized it at a glance. This was the shark he raised. After not seeing it for a while, this guy lived well in the sea and grew up again.

The effect of Jiang Hai's dragon blood was really strong.

It was precisely because of the absorption of dragon blood that this shark, as soon as Jiang Hai entered the sea, felt Jiang Hai's position and swam over quickly, just like a kitten or a puppy, playing there.

Jiang Hai saw the appearance of this shark and couldn't help but walk to the side of the boat on the lower level and pat the shark's head.

Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, Philemon was also confused. He had heard of raising dolphins and killer whales, but what the hell was raising sharks? You know, sharks are very stupid creatures. As a cold-blooded animal, it doesn't recognize people. It doesn't have the DNA of domestication stored in its body, so almost no one raises this kind of creature. Even if someone raises it, it is absolutely impossible to pat its head.

Philemon originally wanted to remind Jiang Hai, but when he saw the shark flipping over in front of Jiang Hai, he was already confused. Damn, is this a shark or a dog... Don't you know that you will lose consciousness when you flip over?

Although it feels very strange, even if this shark is a little stupid, it at least shows that he has no hostility toward Jiang Hai, and Jiang Hai didn't let it flip for too long, directly flipping it back.

"Go, go to the sea to drive some fish into our fishing nets." Jiang Hai said with a smile after patting the sand tiger shark's head. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the sand tiger shark also shook its huge head, then dived underwater and disappeared.

"Boss, you don't really think it will help drive the fish!" Obviously, Philemon on the boat also heard what Jiang Hai said to the sand tiger shark just now. When Jiang Hai returned to the deck, Philemon couldn't help but ask with some amusement.

"Who knows?" Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Hai couldn't say that he really had the ability to communicate with animals, of course, with animals that had absorbed his blood. In this way, the fishing boat drove forward for about five minutes, and Edward's voice in the cab also reached the deck: "Put down the net!"

Hearing Edward's voice, Philemon immediately controlled the machine and put the fishing net behind into the water.

Fishing nets have different uses, and the materials are naturally different.

According to their uses, fishing nets can be divided into gill nets, trawl nets, purse seine nets, building nets, and laying nets. Different uses require different natural materials. For example, the trawl net used by Jiang Hai is made of steel wire, nylon rope, and fiberglass wire. Although the fiberglass is added to reduce the weight, this net is also calculated by tons. This is not something that humans can handle with their strength, so machines must be used. There are two devices to control this machine. One is in the cab, which can be controlled directly, and the other is on the deck, where the specific situation can be seen more clearly, making it easier to operate. Although Philemon doesn't know much about driving a boat, he still knows a lot about setting nets. With his skills, soon, a piece of net, like a peacock with its tail spread out, spread out behind Jiang Hai's fishing boat. Not long after the fishing net was spread out, Jiang Hai felt that the speed of the fishing boat suddenly dropped a little.

In the gaps in the fishing net, Jiang Hai could actually see some fish jumping out of the water.

"Boss, I have to admit that you have quite a lot of fish in this fishery." Although the nets had not been drawn yet, Philemon saw it clearly.

Jiang Hai did have a lot of fish. He originally thought that Edward was just talking when he said there were tens of millions of fish here.

But unexpectedly, such an estimate was still conservative.

Hearing Philemon's words, Jiang Hai also laughed happily and kept lying on the bow, looking at the fishing nets below. What was caught here was not fish, but green Franklin!

After about an hour of dragging, Edward Anderson's voice came from the deck again, asking Jiang Hai and Philemon to pull up the fishing net. Philemon went to operate the machine without saying a word. As the speed of the boat slowed down, the fishing net was gradually lifted out of the sea by Philemon. Jiang Hai's fishing net was large, and the gap between the nets was as wide as 15 centimeters. In other words, almost all fish under 30 centimeters would leak out of this gap. But when the fishing net was lifted up, Jiang Hai couldn't help but exclaim because at this moment, in front of him, the tightened fishing net was like a huge ball, and the full fish was squeezed in the middle of the fishing net, with a diameter of four or five meters. What Jiang Hai caught was not a fish, but Franklin!
