MTL - Supreme Little Fisherman-Chapter 7 hope and disappointment
Chapter 7 Hope and Disappointment
For fishermen like Zheng Zuolin, the personal sea area is the most important.
Nowadays, the ocean is seriously polluted, and ordinary sea areas have been polluted. The number of fish and shrimp is not only small, but also the quality is not good.
So when fishermen go to sea, they often look for unpolluted sea areas, where they can catch more fish and shrimps of higher quality.
The reason why Zheng Zuolin can become a top fisherman is not only because of his agility, but also because he has found high-quality sea areas!
By relying on his experience as a sailor, Zheng Zuolin has an advantage over others, and he has indeed found a good high-quality sea area over the years.
But this is his biggest secret. To put it more seriously, it is a commercial secret.
How can commercial secrets be disclosed to outsiders?
But Zhou An helped him so much, saving his most beloved orchid, this kindness is really not small.
For a while, Zheng Zuolin's face was cloudy, as if hesitating about something.
Seeing his expression, Zhou An added another fire.
"Uncle Zheng, I know you should have this kind of sea area in your hand. As long as you tell me the location, I promise not to tell anyone else. And... if there is any problem with your orchid in the future, just come to me directly!"
"What? You mean, if my orchid withers again in the future, you can help me cure it?" Zheng Zuolin suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou An.
Zhou An smiled and nodded: "Of course! You have seen my ability, as long as I am willing, it is easy to save these orchids."
Hearing this, Zheng Zuolin finally made up his mind.
"Zhou An, I can tell you the location of that sea area, but you must swear that you will never disclose the location of the sea area to others. You also know that the high-quality sea area is your biggest business secret, Uncle Zheng!" Zheng Zuolin said The face is serious.
Seeing him so serious, Zhou An's expression also became serious, and said in a deep voice.
"Uncle Zheng, I swear I will never tell anyone, absolutely not!"
After Zhou An swore, Zheng Zuolin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
"In this case, I will take you out to sea tomorrow and show you that sea area!"
After Zheng Zuolin agreed, Zhou An was so excited that night that he went to bed very late.
Building the Dragon Palace is the most important thing on his mind right now. Zhou An feels excited when he thinks that the Dragon Palace can be built in a high-quality sea area tomorrow.
Without the Dragon King Order of the Dragon Palace, it would have had such a great effect.
After the Dragon Palace is built, the Dragon King Order will be even more powerful!
The next morning, Zhou Antian got up before dawn and went to the pier to meet Zheng Zuolin.
Because he wants to keep his secrets, Zheng Zuolin gets up very early every time to go fishing.
Before, some nearby fishermen also tried to follow him, wanting to find out the high-quality sea area controlled by Zheng Zuolin.
But their boat-building skills were incomparable to Zheng Zuolin's, and Zheng Zuolin left them far behind after two laps at sea.
After a long time, no one will follow Zheng Zuolin anymore, because even if they follow, they will not be able to catch up with him. Naturally, everyone is unwilling to do such a thankless thing.
When we arrived at the pier, it was still dark, and Zheng Zuolin was already waiting for Zhou An on the pier, with the fishing boat beside him.
The current fishing boats are very different from the past. The previous fishing boats were rowed by manpower, which not only required a lot of manpower, but also took up space on the boat.
After installing the engine on the boat, you can go fishing alone.
As a fisherman, Zheng Zuolin has never cooperated with other people. He always drives the fishing boat out to sea by himself, and every time he comes back, he returns with a full reward.
"Uncle Zheng, you came so early!" Zhou An had already arrived ahead of time, but he didn't expect Zheng Zuolin to be earlier than him.
"Hehe, let's go, Zhou An, Uncle Zheng will take you to see the most precious sea area in my private collection. The sea water there is not polluted, and the quality and quantity of fish and shrimp are excellent!" Zheng Zuolin laughed.
When he mentioned the high-quality sea area, there was a touch of pride on his face.
Obviously, for Zheng Zuolin, that sea area is like the orchids he raises, and he is most proud of it.
Zhou An nodded and walked quickly.
A moment later, Zheng Zuolin drove the fishing boat and quickly left the small pier.
Sitting on the fishing boat, looking at Zheng Zuolin, who was skillfully driving beside him, Zhou An couldn't help sighing in his heart, saying that it's no wonder Zheng Zuolin became the top fisherman in the village.
Among other things, this boating skill is enough to look down on other fishermen.
Zheng Zuolin took Zhou An to gallop in the surrounding waters in a boat. After about an hour, he slowed down, but there was a puzzled expression on his face.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Zhou An observed the surrounding seawater conditions.
The sea water is not clear, and there are some black substances in it, which seems to be polluted.
"That's not right! This is obviously the place where I usually fish, why...how come it's like this after I haven't been here for two days?" Zheng Zuolin stopped the boat and muttered to himself.
Zhou An was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zheng, what did you say? This is where you usually fish?"
"Yes, it should be right! This is the position!"
Zheng Zuolin couldn't help but took two steps back and looked around. When he saw a small island not far away, he slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Absolutely can't go wrong, this is where I usually fish! Can't go wrong!"
Hearing Zheng Zuolin's words, Zhou An rubbed his eyes, lay down beside the boat and looked down at the sea water.
The sea water is still dark blue, with some black substances doped in it. It can be seen that it has been polluted, and it is still seriously polluted!
"Uncle Zheng, how is this possible? This place is obviously polluted!" Zhou An couldn't help shouting.
"I... I don't know either!" Zheng Zuolin said helplessly.
He looked around, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I didn't go fishing these two days because of the orchid. How come this sea has become like this in just two days?"
At the end, Zheng Zuolin even lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
Zhou An on the side watched him, Zheng Zuolin didn't seem to be acting, it seems that what he said should be true.
Zhou An leaned over to the side of the boat, picked up some seawater with his hands, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and his face changed instantly.
"Uncle Zheng, this...it smells like oil! There is a little bit of oil on it!"
Zheng Zuolin came to his senses, and followed Zhou An's example, took up the sea water and smelled it, and even tasted it with his tongue, his face also turned pale.
"It's over, this sea area is completely over! It should be that a ship transporting oil has passed by in the past two days, and some oil has leaked. It is polluted by oil, and it may be difficult to fish in this sea area in the future!"
Zhou An Moran thought that relying on Zheng Zuolin, he could find a high-quality sea area to build the Dragon Palace.
Unexpectedly, the high-quality sea area was not found, but two days were wasted, and there was still a little precious dragon energy!
