    The Harvest is now Snowdick¡¯s star. Firstly, because of their heroic feat of rescuing people in the Kraken 18 storm. The overwhelming media publicity made this ship a famous hero ship throughout North America.

    The other thing is their catch. Now the fishermen in Sheddick Port spread the news by word of mouth, and the large amount of lobsters they caught in two trips to sea has been spread to every fisherman's ears.

    In this way, when the Harvest entered the port, it attracted a large number of fishermen to stop and watch. Although the fishermen on other ships at sea were competitors with the Harvest, they would do anything to snatch resources.

    But when they arrived at the port, they showed their respect for the Harvest. Shaq sailed the boat all the way, and the fishing boats on the channel got out of the way, allowing them to pass the green light and dock at the dock.

    Sometimes when you meet a more elegant captain, you will also blow the whistle to signal them. If there are fishermen standing on the deck, when the Harvest passes by, they will take off their hats and wave.

    Qin Shiou was greatly moved and said: "It's too pretentious, damn, they weren't like this when they were following us at sea."

    "This is normal, captain. To use a Newfoundland slang, we are all money-making machines at sea, but we become civilized people on land."

    As the Harvest docked, Guy and Philip's assistants shook hands with Qin Shiou. Many of the fishermen who stayed at the dock came over. Most of them had only heard the rumors that the Harvest could catch a large number of lobsters every time it went to sea, and had not seen it.  .

    After being depressed the entire trip to sea, Qin Shiou felt a little better when selling lobsters. Guy's assistant told him that the price of lobsters could be increased by two yuan per pound.

    The large sales of lobsters during Christmas and New Year's Day are now showing their impact on the market. The number of lobsters is decreasing, and the market supply has dropped by 72% compared with previous years. It is estimated that starting from the middle of this year, the lobster market will only rely on deep-sea lobsters.  Take the lead.

    When they learned that a pound of lobster can now be sold for 42 yuan, the fishermen were shocked. Old Zach said with emotion: "What a crazy price, 42 yuan! This is not a lobster, this is a bluefin tuna shrimp!"

    Qin Shiou has read the information in the newspaper. In the past two years, even when the price was relatively good, the price of lobster was only 67 Canadian dollars per pound. Now it has suddenly risen to 42 yuan, and the price is still rising, which is amazing.

    ??Bong and Bull took people to the ice cabin to put the lobsters into the insulated boxes. Boxes of lobsters were lifted out by machines and weighed, and then transported to the refrigerated transport truck, box after box, one after another.

    The fishermen around were stunned. Someone asked loudly in disbelief: "Hey, little captain, are all your boxes filled with lobsters?"

    Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, man, we were lucky this time. We encountered a lot of lobsters."

    "God, it's not just good luck! You're so lucky because you stepped on shit!" someone said with envy.

    The final result was 11,950 pounds of lobster, which sold for more than half a million Canadian dollars.

    In addition to lobsters, they also harvested more than 1,100 pounds of queen crab, 550 pounds of coho salmon, and more than 2,000 pounds of Atlantic swordfish. Qin Shiou disposed of these to Guy and his wife, and sold them for 100,000  Yuan.

    The fishermen onlookers didn¡¯t know how much Qin Shiou sold for, but they knew that this guy must have made a fortune, because it had been more than a month and no one had been able to bring back more than 10,000 pounds of lobsters in one go!

    Lobster prices used to be very low, so fishermen had little interest in catching them. Most fishermen in the Gulf of St. Lawrence still rely on fishing to make money.

    As a result, the price of lobsters began to rise a quarter ago, and almost everyone went to sea to catch lobsters.

    There are a lot of lobsters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but there are too many people coming to share the pie. When everyone gets a piece of the pie, the number of lobsters drops sharply.  Of course, because the price of lobsters has increased, the money earned from catching lobsters has not decreased. This is why fishermen are keen to snatch lobsters.

    However, no shrimp fishing boat with less than 1,000 tons can catch 10,000 pounds or five tons of lobsters at one time, and all shrimp fishing boats with more than 1,000 tons have gone to the deep sea, so Qin Shiou created a small lobster in Xuedike this time.  Little legend.

    The fish and shrimps were transported from the ice cabin, and the bull and the smoker led the fishermen to start packing up the fishing boat.

    Although it is said that fish and shrimp are put into the ice tank, in fact, the fish and lobsters are not transported in the same tank. The fish are put into the low-temperature tank, which is the real ice tank.  Lobsters are put into a constant-temperature chamber, which is used to store shrimps and crabs. Shrimps and crabs need to be alive to be sold at a high price, and dead ones are worthless.

    The Harvest is said to be 200 tons. This 200 tons is not the cargo capacity but the displacement. The cargo capacity is actually only about 40%, 80 tons.  Two cabinsThe ratio is 4:1, the ice cabin can accommodate more than 60 tons, and the constant temperature cabin can accommodate 17 or 18 tons.

    There is no doubt that when cleaning the fish tank, it is more comfortable to stay in a constant temperature cabin and the workload is smaller.  Bull always takes his own people to clean up the ice cabin, leaving the opportunity to clean up the constant-temperature cabin to Smoking Gun. When Smoking Gun selects people, he also picks older guys like Zach and Chalmer.

    This has almost become an unspoken rule, and there is no need to say it. The people taken away by the bull waved directly into the ice cabin, and no one complained.

    Qin Shiou appreciates this very much. These ten fishermen are a great team, otherwise he would not offer high profits to win them.

    Taking Wei Ni and the dog with him, Qin Shiou went to the hotel first, preparing a steaming meal and waiting for the fishermen.

    While the fishermen were working, the text message alert on Yanqiang¡¯s mobile phone rang. Winnie went to the bank to transfer money to them, and the money arrived, 170,000 yuan.

    ¡°The captain is so cool, phew, I like him!¡± Yanqian laughed while holding up his mobile phone.

    Normally, the captain does not settle the income to the crew so quickly, it can even be said to be very slow. Generally speaking, the captain does not distribute the income to his men at the end of one fishing season, but waits until the next fishing season begins to settle the income.

    This is a rule, because the captain needs to pay taxes on the money he gives to the crew. He has to wait until the specific tax comes out and deduct the tax before giving it to the crew.

    Qin Shiou always settles the payment to the fisherman as soon as he gets the money. Taxes?  Needless to say, I'll pay for it for you. Count it on my fishery. Compared with the tens of millions of taxes on the fishery, their few thousand dollars is really not enough.

    This kind of detail often wins the favor of fishermen the most. Who doesn¡¯t like to get money early?  Canadians often say that ¡®money doesn¡¯t belong to them until it goes into their pockets.¡¯ They value money even more than the Chinese do.

    When Qin Shiou sat down at the hotel, someone followed him and asked directly: "Little Lobster Prince, are you still recruiting people for your ship?"

    Looking at the fishermen, Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Sorry, guys, I have enough brothers, twelve."

    After hearing his words, the fishermen looked frustrated, but a man with a vigorous face said: "Little lobster prince, are you interested in organizing a temporary fleet? According to the rules, we will pay you one-tenth of the money.  ." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
