Chapter 298 Captain in the eyes of sailors
It was just dawn in the morning. The Kasumaru came to the bay between Honshu Island and Hokkaido in Japan. Although it was already past six o'clock in the morning, it was still dark in winter, and the sun had not yet seen the sun rising from the sea level.
However, the captain issued an order yesterday to start fishing today. All the sailors got up early today at the request of the sailor leader Xu Heng, and the newly appointed sailor Xu Heng crawled out of his bed for the morning fishing less than five o'clock.
The sailors were standing on the deck in a bunch of thick clothes, almost everyone holding a cigarette in their hands, huddling their bodies in the leeward of the deck machinery, chatting quietly while looking up at the deck door from time to time.
"Saving sailor, you'd better go in and urge the captain. Everyone has been waiting for more than half an hour, why haven't the captain come out yet? Didn't he say he wanted to catch fish today?"
There was a sailor who couldn't wait any longer. He took advantage of his good relationship with Xu Heng and came to Xu Heng and handed over a cigarette while suggesting.
Xu Heng took the cigarette and lit it with the fire he came up, took a breath and said, "You can't wait for just a little time? You are a little too pampered. When you were under the Japanese, everyone got up earlier than now! Zhao Yougen, why don't I send you to urge me?"
"Then forget it!" Zhao Yougen subconsciously shrank his head as soon as he heard it. To be honest, he was a little scared of this young captain Zhao Yougen because he had little contact and the captain had almost been huddled in the observation room of the bridge these days, and he usually didn't go to the deck at all.
"If you don't go, just wait honestly." After Xu Heng said that, he looked at the watch on his wrist and found that it had been almost forty minutes since he urged the sailors to the deck to gather.
As the sailor leader Xu Heng urged the sailor to get up, it is not unreasonable. Because Xu Heng, who was on duty at the boat bridge today, found driftwood floating on the water and natural driftwood.
Driftwood, also known as flowing wood, is a few wood floating on the sea. It is probably a tree on the land that fell into the sea for some reason. Now it is drifting on the sea with the current.
Don’t underestimate this kind of driftwood! All sailors of seine fishing boats know that having such a thing on the sea means that there are fish under the driftwood. Although I don’t know how big the fishing group is, seeing this thing finally gives a good omen for this trip to sea.
The way of operating a fence fishing boat is to fence the fish again, but how to determine where there are fish before the fence is based on knowledge.
Generally speaking, there are three ways. The first is a group of flowing trees, which refers to a group of fish formed by a group of fish following a group of flowing trees floating on the sea. Such a group of fishing trees is mainly bonito, including a small amount of yellowfin tuna. The group of fish following a group of flowing trees is also the best positioning, and of course it is also the easiest to catch.
The second type is called the whale and pig group. You can tell that this kind of fish will follow the whale, dolphin or even shark group. It is a bit difficult to catch this kind of fish group than the flowing wood group.
The third type is the third type. Natural cluster sailors also call it the water-raising group, which refers to fish jumping on the sea surface or preying on the sea surface bait, causing white foam to appear on the sea surface. The advantage of such fish are that they are simple and generally composed of bonito and tuna, and they are all fish with high economic value. The bad place is that such fishing groups are usually very active, and the overall fish are very difficult to catch.
What Xu Heng saw now and had the boat followed was the Liumu cluster. If Xu Heng thought that he would not find this Liumu today, then Puhewan should have left the artificial fish collector for fish collection. So seeing the driftwood is a good omen for Xu Heng, who has been a little depressed these two days: It is true that the boss is a rookie, but it is not a big deal if he is lucky. After all, the people who operate are all skilled sailors.
Is Xu Heng not anxious? This is a lie! Whoever gets up at six or seven o'clock in the middle of winter stands on the deck and blows the cold wind for more than half an hour is not anxious, but Xu Heng is just a sailor and is not even the first mate. Besides, even if the first mate is anxious, it is useless. Everyone except the captain is anxious, the emperor is not anxious!
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Heng looked at the cabin door and was looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that his captain would come out of the cabin.
Soon a figure appeared, and Xu Heng felt a sudden joy in his heart when he was waiting to see the person coming clearly. It was not the captain who came but the American first mate who was also rookie.
He waved to a sailor who could speak English. Xu Heng then greeted him: "Mr. Digo, why hasn't the captain come out yet?" Then he signaled the South Asian sailor who could speak English to translate what he said in Japanese.
As soon as Digo went out, he saw all the sailors standing on the deck, hiding in the deck with their heads shrank and sheltering in the deck with their heads hanging out like little quails squatting together.
"How could the captain come out now!" Digo couldn't help but open his mouth. He knew about Behai Digo and asked Behai about fishing yesterday. Beihai's answer was quite simple: Let's talk about it when I wake up!
"I discovered the Liumu and initially observed the fish following the Liumu. It was quite good." Xu Heng immediately said: "As long as the captain gives the order, we can observe it appropriately, it will take only twenty minutes to complete the fence..."
Xu Heng has guessed that his captain is probably sleeping in his warm captain's cabin. He sleeps well in winter! But he sleeps well, but when there is a flowing wood, Xu Heng has to fight for it. Even for his salary, he has to tell the two rookies that he is a pair of rookies. Now it's time to catch fish in the net! Even if you give an order, you can take the rest of yourself to take someone to do it.
Obviously, Digo, as the first mate, didn't think so. Digo was not as good as Beihai's ability to find fish, but he kowtowed. He didn't care about the opinions of a little sailor.
"I understand! But what should I do if the captain doesn't get up now? I just called out to the captain's cabin door and found that the captain's tone was not good. It's okay to get up." Digo said: "Don't stand on the deck and blow the air. Hurry up and go back to the cabin and inform the kitchen to get some warm things for everyone and have a good breakfast! Then wait for the captain to come out and work."
When Digo said this, not only Xu Heng was arrested for the temporary translator, but also shocked, let alone the sailors who were eavesdropping on the conversation between the three of them.
I x! What else can the captain get up when he goes to the sea to catch fish? I have only heard that the captain cannot catch fish or that the captain is angry because he catches a lot. I haven’t heard that the captain cannot sleep and will get angry. If he wants to sleep comfortably, wouldn’t it be better to go directly to the land to hug a girl?
Liu Yougen was stunned for a while and asked the coworker next to him: "Old Chen, do you think we are here to fish or travel?"
"We are really unique," the sailor who was called Lao Chen, who was standing next to Liu Yougen, also responded with a wry smile: "It seems that we should not count on any bonus we have!"
Can you still get a bonus when you meet such a lazy captain? Soon the sailors on the deck knew that their captain was sleeping in the cabin. As for when the fishing started today, it is difficult to say when the fishing started officially. The reason is very nonsense: their captain wants to sleep!
The captain had to wait for the fishing captain to sleep, and the crew suddenly felt that they were drunk too!
The very strange order to go back to the cabin to have breakfast on the fishing day was announced by the first mate of the United States. More than 20 sailors were swaying into the cabin in groups. I heard that everyone was a little excited when they found Liumu, but now this little excited probably has flew to Java.
The sailors were frozen on the deck for a long time, but now they can go back to the cabin and sleep. After eating the steaming breakfast one by one, they simply started playing poker in groups in three or five in the restaurant.
As time gets closer to noon, the enthusiasm of these sailors is getting lower and lower. The best time for the group of flowing woods is in the morning, which is about one or two hours shortly after dawn. Now even if the group of fish goes down the net, it is hard to say the quality of the group of fish.
"Our captain is sleeping soundly now!" A Japanese sailor who was operating a little strange threw the card in his hand onto the table and made a snap sound.
"I finally understand why I have only been working for a month. Everyone is here to play with this person in love!" Another sailor raised his hand and signaled that he would not want this card.
"I just said that the young captain is unreliable. I have been working in this industry for almost ten years with all my plans. Not to mention the captain in the twenty-seven, even the captain in the thirty-something have never seen much! I guess someone's rich young master thinks fishing is fresh and comes to play this trick. Let's deal with it honestly. Everyone has a relaxed mindset when going out to sea, just come as a paid trip!"
"That's right! I should think so!".
"I lost a little this morning. I got up so early. If I had known that I had just covered my head and slept until I woke up naturally, I would have lived like my mother and I was at home during the Spring Festival, and there would be no aunt next to me!"
The other sailor's words immediately caused the other sailors next to him to burst into laughter.
As time got closer to noon, Xu Heng's heart sank more and more. When the clock pointed at eleven o'clock, Xu Heng thought to himself: Just take the money, why are you working so hard? The captain is sleeping now. What's the picture of his working job!
Thinking of this, he said to the first mate next to him: "First mate Digo, I think we will let the kitchen prepare lunch. I don't know when the captain will wake up!"
When Xu Heng said this, he felt a little incredible. He could still meet such a strange captain in his life! (To be continued...)
