The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

After the fishing net was cast, the old master and Li Kaixin smiled at each other and squatted down.

Li Kaixin took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it over.

The experienced cigarette maker deftly took it, glanced at it to see it had a filter, and exclaimed, "Young man, the cigarettes you usually smoke are pretty good!"

"Master, what you're saying is unacceptable. I don't smoke normally; I just use these cigarettes to make a show of it."

As Li Kaixin explained, he took out a match from his pocket and lit the old man's cigarette.

The experienced driver took a deep drag and slowly said, "That's still better than me. I'm lucky if I even have a tobacco leaf to smoke!"

Li Kaixin could only manage an awkward laugh before quickly changing the subject: "By the way, master, how long will it take before we can haul in this net?"

"It'll take an hour or two. There's no fixed time; it all depends on the broadcast announcement."

The old man didn't continue the topic of smoking, but answered.

Then, glancing at Zhou Zhiming, who was still holding onto the gunwale and looked pale, he said, "Is the young man behind you seasick? Look how pale he is."

"Yes, master. Do you know any folk remedies to ease seasickness?" Li Kaixin asked.

He was truly at his wit's end. The first time Zhou Zhiming vomited, he had used silver needles to prick several acupoints to prevent dizziness, but the effect was not obvious, and he still vomited.

The experienced craftsman thought for a moment and then said:

"Yes, I have!"

"Take him to the galley in the cabin, give him a couple of sips of vinegar, and then have him smell a piece of ginger. This won't completely cure him, but it will make him feel better."

"Thank you, sir! I'll take him to try it out right away."

Li Kaixin thanked him and, without hesitation, helped Zhou Zhiming up and headed towards the cabin.

Upon reaching the ship's galley, they found Liu Zhi inside, holding ginger and vinegar.

Upon seeing Zhou Zhiming and Li Kaixin enter, a smile immediately spread across his face: "You've come at the perfect time! I was just about to look for you!"

He then stepped forward and handed the vinegar bottle and a slice of ginger to Zhou Zhiming:

"Here you go! These two will help ease your seasickness."

"Uncle Liu, you noticed all of this?" Zhou Zhiming asked somewhat awkwardly.

Li Kaixin took the things from Liu Zhi's hands and said irritably, "Can't you tell? Your face is as white as paper. Uncle Liu isn't blind."

Liu Zhi didn't reply, but just looked at Zhou Zhiming with a smile.

Before Zhou Zhiming could even feel embarrassed, seeing Uncle Liu looking at him like that, Li Kaixin had already opened the vinegar bottle and poured a mouthful into his mouth.

"Cough, cough!"

Zhou Zhiming felt a sour smell rush to his head, choking him until tears welled up in his eyes.

After catching her breath, she said with a pained expression, "Master, are you trying to kill me?"

Li Kaixin ignored Zhou Zhiming's complaints and directly stuffed the ginger slices into his hand.

Then, he turned around and handed the vinegar bottle back to Liu Zhi, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

"You're welcome. I'll need your strength to pull the net later."

Liu Zhi smiled and waved his hand, then said, "It's nothing, I'll go now."

This folk remedy really worked. For the next period of time, Zhou Zhiming stopped vomiting and his complexion improved significantly.

Suddenly, the ship's loudspeaker blared again.

Upon hearing the commotion, everyone on the boat rushed to the stern and began to work together to pull the fishing net.

Several small boats beside the ship were also assisting in the same way.

Looking around, besides the large ship where Li Kaixin was, there were seven or eight other large ships of similar size, all carrying out the same operation.

The fishing net was not easy to pull. Even with the help of the people on the small boat, which required dozens of people, it was still extremely difficult to pull the net.

Because everyone didn't pull together, the fishing net remained taut and motionless in the sea.

Those like Zhou Zhiming and Wu Tian, ​​who had previously experienced seasickness, were now sweating profusely as they pulled on the reins, but thankfully, no one let go.

Just then, Liu Zhi rushed out of the cabin, grabbed the fishing net, and shouted instructions as he pulled:

"one two three"

"pull!"

As everyone worked together following Liu Zhi's instructions, the fishing net finally began to move slowly.

As time passed, the opening of the net gradually narrowed, and the fish inside the net gradually leaped out of the sea.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Kaixin once again truly felt:

The sea in this era is truly like a rich treasure trove; a single net cast yields such a vast harvest.

Once the entire net was completely hauled into the boat.

Wu Tian, ​​Zhou Zhiming, and several other members of the transport team collapsed onto the deck, panting heavily.

The experienced chefs didn't stop for a moment, deftly packing the densely packed fish, shrimp, and all sorts of seafood into special clamps.

Li Kaixin also stepped forward to help. During the process, he roughly estimated that the fish caught in this net would probably weigh tens of thousands of kilograms.

However, he also noticed that the vast majority of the fish he caught were large yellow croakers.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin understood: no wonder the price of large yellow croaker was so low, just like ordinary fish; there were simply too many of them.

After the nets were hauled in, the boat did not continue forward but instead turned around and slowly headed back towards the shore it had come from.

Liu Zhi walked onto the deck and called out loudly, "Everyone has worked hard. Now you can go into your cabins for lunch!"

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After meeting up with Zhou Zhiming, Wu Tian, ​​and the others, they went to the cabin together.

Sure enough, lunch had been prepared inside, and a long queue was forming.

At the food counter, apart from cornmeal porridge, which is limited to one bowl per person, fish, shrimp, and seafood are all-you-can-eat.

For Li Kaixin and his transport team members, cornmeal porridge was a common food, nothing unusual.

Then, the experienced sailors on the ship witnessed a scene that amazed them.

The young people who came to help pull the nets all had only seafood on their plates and didn't touch the cornmeal porridge.

The experienced worker at the very front of the line couldn't resist any longer and quickly shouted to Li Kaixin and his group at the back of the line:

"Those of you who came to help today, you don't need to line up, just come to the front!"

The other experienced craftsmen also realized what was happening and enthusiastically echoed their sentiments.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin turned to the people beside him and asked, "Are you still drinking cornmeal porridge?"

With so much seafood to eat, who would still want to drink porridge? Zhou Zhiming shook his head.

Wu Tian, ​​Qian Dazhuang, and Song Hai nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's cut in line."

After Li Kaixin finished speaking, he led the group away from the line and headed towards the food serving window.

As soon as they saw Li Kaixin and his group arrive, the experienced workers at the front of the line immediately smiled and made way for them.

Seeing that Li Kaixin and the others were indeed only picking seafood, the experienced chefs exchanged glances and smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin understood perfectly:

There was only so much cooked porridge, and since the others didn't serve themselves, the experienced chefs naturally got to have a larger share.
