79, Jinjiang Exclusive(2/2)
Many offshore workers only receive wages for more than half a year, and the remaining months are spent on shore with no income.
It is very difficult to go to sea, especially in most sea areas where there is no Internet. Satellite phone calls are too expensive and most people cannot afford them. They only make a dozen calls when there is an emergency, and it is impossible to talk on the phone.
Offshore workers face an endless boring life as soon as they go to sea, especially when they are separated from their families, and the work intensity is high. It is common to work more than ten hours a day. Over time, many people are prone to psychological problems.
When Lin Qiyan was young, he considered applying for relevant maritime colleges, but gave up the idea after collecting relevant information.
He still has a grandmother to support, and he wanders outside without any news for more than half a year. The old man is worried about his death.
Lu Ao promised to help Lin Qiyan find the captain later.
It's just now and we haven't left the port yet.
The ship is busy at this time, the boatmen are on the deck, and the cabin is shouting. It is not appropriate to disturb them now.
Lin Qiyan is not in a hurry. He will be out at sea for so many days this time, so he can go there anytime to take pictures.
After the two of them packed up, they each returned to their cabins to rest.
Ocean-going ships are more user-friendly, and everyone can basically be assigned a bedroom with a bathroom.
Lu Ao put away his things and slept in the cabin until about six o'clock in the afternoon. He planned to find Lin Qiyan first and then go to the restaurant to have something to eat.
As soon as he went up, before he found Lin Qiyan on the deck, he heard someone shouting happily: "Get ready, the ultrasonic fish finder just detected a large group of fish below!"
Someone shouted back, "What kind of fish?!"
"I don't know. Judging from the current image, it's probably Qingtiao!"
Qingtiao refers to herring in the sea.
They like to swim together in groups. Generally speaking, a large group can be caught in one net, and some can reach several tons.
The unit price of green strips is not expensive, but the total value of such a large group of fish is also very high. No wonder everyone is so happy.
Being able to hit a school of fish on the first day is no different from picking up money.
The boatmen were busy busily, and the deck was full of people.
Lu Ao watched as they prepared the huge net and began to lower it for fishing. After more than ten minutes, the ship's tractor dragged a large net into the groove.
The net was densely packed with fish, exuding a strong fishy smell.
