Chapter 248: The Freezer is Full

“There’s a tuna, but unfortunately it’s not a Bluefin.”

Hearing this crew member’s complaint, the crew nearby were stunned for a moment. Tuna is also very precious, okay? But listening to this, it seemed they weren’t wrong, but it was a pity it wasn’t a Bluefin.

“There’s also a skipjack tuna, which sells for a high price in Neon.”

“Forget it, that’s because there’s nothing to eat in Neon. Besides, if it gets old and hard like wood, it really has no taste.”

Look at these Versailles-style crew members; it seemed as if they would lose out if they didn’t harvest top-tier fish. They didn’t even think about how luxurious it was on a cargo ship.

Moreover, there was usually no entertainment on cargo ships, just boring voyages. The crew members were usually as silent as wooden people. Captain Pierce only saw such a crazy side of his team members today.

However, listening to the crew members getting more and more outrageous, the bearded man’s face turned black.

“Ahem!”

“All of you little bastards shut up, these fish are already enough to eat!”

In a while, Ye Su had pulled up another large and one small tuna. The small space at the stern became crowded. The Captain hurriedly stopped the reveling crew, then walked to Ye Su and said:

“Su, we’ve just set sail, and the food on the ship hasn’t been consumed much. The freezer is almost full. If we pull up any more, I’m afraid it won’t last long, and these ingredients will be wasted.”

Ye Su smiled: “Captain, you’re a bit late. I’m planning to get another one.”

Ye Su held the rope with one hand and pointed to the fish he had speared in the sea with the other. However, because of the white foam churned up by the propeller, the Captain couldn’t see clearly.

But looking at the taut rope, and thinking about Ye Su’s unerring aim, if he said he hit it, it definitely wouldn’t be a miss.

Ye Su easily pulled back the rope and still had the leisure to talk to the Captain.

“Captain, can you let me join in on the way back? If I want to eat fish, I’ll call you. I guarantee I’ll fill your freezer before you dock, but I have to bring people to mooch a meal!”

Before the bearded man could reply, the crew on the side eagerly said to the Captain:

“Captain, hurry up and agree to him, so we can have fish to eat along the way.”

The Captain said: “Then wouldn’t you be at too much of a loss? After all, these are top-tier fish. Why don’t we sell them when we reach the shore and split the money?”

“Haha, I don’t care about this bit of money. Keep it all for the Captain as food expenses, and use the rest to improve the crew’s meals.”

At this moment, Old Tan interjected: “Can I mooch a meal then?”

Ye Su saw the Captain looking at him with some hesitation and hurriedly said: “It’s all up to the Captain. I’m relying on Old Tan’s care here.”

The Captain got Ye Su’s reply and took the opportunity to agree to Old Tan’s request. Consequently, Old Tan didn’t appreciate it.

He pulled the Captain’s beard and said: “Good old Pi, we’ve been friends for so many years, and you’re not even willing to let me mooch a meal. If it weren’t for Brother Ye Su’s agreement, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to eat a meal here.”

The Captain felt the pain and hurriedly hugged Old Tan’s shoulder: “Of course there’s no problem mooching a meal with our friendship, but I have to ask for the opinion of the person who provided the ingredients. What if they don’t let you eat?”

“Bullshit!”

Old Tan was embarrassed and angry, wanting to give the Captain a "monkey steals the peach," but he dodged it. The two old men over fifty years old began to play around at the stern.

Ye Su understood that this was the Captain giving him a favor. After all, his current smuggling status was under Old Tan’s care, and selling a favor would make things convenient if anything happened.

Ye Su saw that the chef had already sliced a few plates of sashimi. He hurriedly took two plates, handed one to Celine, and looked at the light blue fish slices. Ye Su was a bit put off, because blue food would cause psychological discomfort in humans and might even reduce appetite.

So Ye Su watched the two playing around, casually picking up sashimi to eat as a snack. The fresh, sweet, ice-cold taste was tender and juicy. This was much more satisfying than eating melon.

With someone playing around, Old Tan saw the two "marmots" holding sashimi on the side. He hurriedly stopped the Captain’s sneak attack, and when he wanted to counterattack, he saw Old Tan winking desperately, so he followed the gaze and saw Ye Su and Celine squatting on the side.

“Alright, you two are eating secretly and didn’t call us. You were just here to watch us make fools of ourselves!”

Ye Su hurriedly ran to the side, took two plates, and handed them to the Captain and Old Tan.

“I didn’t call you because you were busy!

Here, it’s freshly sliced!”

After the Captain took the fish slices Ye Su handed him, he saw the crew members looking over eagerly and smiled:

“If you want to eat, you have to thank Su first.”

Hearing everyone’s thanks, Ye Su found that so many people had gathered around, and the sashimi sliced by the chef might not be enough, so he hurriedly went up to help.

The chef, unable to refuse, hurriedly gave Ye Su a spot. Ye Su stood by the cutting board with a knife, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to him. Even the chef stopped working, fearing that Ye Su hadn’t done this before and would cut his hand. Of course, he also had the intention of guiding him.

Soon, Ye Su opened his eyes, holding the knife in one hand and pressing the fish with the other...
