Chapter 1066: Continue to go to sea
"Good brother. I can't just let you drink soup after I eat meat, I have to eat some meat dregs..."
"Grass, how can I share a few pieces of meat?"
"That depends on luck. Isn't going to sea a matter of looking at the sky and luck? But no matter what, it's one step ahead. When everyone is still fishing around the near sea, we have already reached the far sea with richer resources."
Xiao Xiao nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, yes, everything you said is right. At first, you told us to buy a boat, and we made money; you told us to change to a bigger one, and we earned more? Last year, I went to Zhejiang Province with you again, and immediately became a 10,000-yuan household, made a big fortune, and envied my brothers and sisters to death."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's fine if you have no opinion. It's just that the boat will definitely rise in price this year. The shipyard didn't make money from me last year. If I go to book it again, it will definitely be a high price."
"Let's discuss it later. I will ask again when I pass by the city shipyard, or if I pass by the provincial capital, I will also go to the provincial capital to find it, and see if I can ask for more prices."
As long as you agree, it's fine. I'll figure out the charter later.
I originally thought that Xiao Xiao would consider it after hearing it, so I didn't think about anything else, and just came over, only intending to say it first.
"You make the decision, I believe in you, brother. Eating fragrant and spicy food depends on you. How do you plan to arrange it, how big to build, you decide and then tell me, I listen to you, and then we discuss the distribution method."
"Okay, as long as you are willing to believe me, anyway, I can't pit you guys who grew up together."
"What about A-Zheng? Do you want to go and say it?"
"I also plan to go. I thought that after you finish talking here, I will go to him. I think he is an only child, and his father and mother look at him like eyeballs. They usually shout and kill, but if something really happens, they are also precious. Worried that his father and mother are afraid of him going far, there is danger, and they will not agree."
"Ask first, if he is willing, he will talk to his father and mother himself. Just one son, can he not listen to his son? What's more, he has also earned a 10,000-yuan household in the past two years, and he is very promising. His father and mother are proud of him, and they are pretending to belittle him every day, waiting for others to praise."
Ye Yaodong also laughed, very similar to his mother, obviously proud of his son, but he had to say the opposite, belittle him a few words, waiting for others to praise her to her heart's content.
"I'll go to him later. If he is willing, we will discuss the distribution. When the time comes, you two can go to sea together, take turns to drive the boat, or take turns to go to sea, and have rest, and it is cool."
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is good, you can take turns to go to sea, which is equivalent to one person going out once a month, taking turns, and you can rest at home, and you can make money, which is much cooler than going to sea in the middle of the night and coming back in the afternoon, and you won't earn less."
"Hmm, then I'll go to him and see."
"I'll go with you."
How could he sit still, he couldn't wait to pull A-Zheng to work together and make a lot of money together.
"Okay, then let's go together."
When the two walked out, Xiao Xiao's mother shouted there, "Come back early, don't drink, you still have to go to sea at night. If your father knows that you are running to drink at this time, he will scold you to death later."
"Got it, nagging, I'll be back as soon as I go out."
The two turned to A-Zheng's house on the way, but his mother held his daughter and said that he had already lain on the bed. She shouted, and he came out in a hurry after a long time with his pants.
"What time is it? Just went to bed?"
"Nothing to do, still have to go to sea at night, don't you have to lie down early?"
The two looked at his mother holding the child to another room, and they all looked clear.
"Do the children sleep with your father and mother?"
"Ang, hmm, my mother thinks that the child always wets the bed at night, which will disturb my sleep. After weaning, she hugged her to her room to sleep. Sit down."
The three of them walked to the table and sat down while talking.
"This is to let you have a grandson quickly."
"What's the rush, let's talk about it later. What's the matter with you coming over at this time? Go to the mountain to hunt wild game? What time is it? A-Guang is not here, I'm afraid of snakes..."
"I fuck, your reactions are exactly the same."
Ye Yaodong was also speechless. He came to find them, and the first reaction was to go to the mountain to hunt wild game, and there was also a fear of snakes.
Xiao Xiao also laughed loudly, "When Dongzi came to my place just now, my first reaction was the same as yours, saying that A-Guang was not there, and there were many snakes at night, so I didn't dare to go."
"It's very normal, if you don't eat and drink and go to the mountain, what are you looking for me for?"
"There is a matter of making a fortune, I want to share it with you."
A-Zheng's eyes also lit up, "Make a fortune, what fortune? Did you pick up gold, or discover treasure? Can't handle it yourself?"
"Think beautifully..."
"Dongzi wants to find us to partner to build a big boat similar to Dongsheng and Fengshou, and then form a fleet with the current two boats to go to sea to catch together. Safety can be guaranteed, and income can also be greatly increased."
"Fleet!!! Then how many to build? Is my little family wealth enough?"
He only heard the fleet of the key points, and others ignored it directly.
"Are you deaf? I told you to build one, three boats form a fleet, and build a few... How much family wealth do you have, tell me? See how many you can build?"
"Just one?" He was full of disappointment, "Then Dongzi can't easily get it done with money? Can he still lack the money for this boat?"
Xiao Xiao also reacted instantly, "That's right, can't you easily take out this money if you build another one? Why are you looking for us to partner?"
"This is not letting the rich lead the poor? I have so many boats, I can't drive them, I am at ease looking for you to partner, and then hand the boat to you to drive, didn't I say it at your house just now? Didn't you react to this?"
"Oh, I just thought about you wanting to lead me to make a fortune, and wanting to partner with me to get a fishing boat, just thinking about being happy, didn't think much about it."
"If you want to order one separately, it's fine, then I won't mix it?"
"Don't don't... We don't have that much money? If you put A-Zheng's together, it's enough, but don't live? Still have to count on you, brother, to pull."
A-Zheng also reacted immediately, excited, "So, Dongzi came to find us to partner, the three of us partner to order one? Split equally? Just like the Fengshou of A-Guang's family?"
"Do you want to mix it? I'm worried that your father won't agree, you are an only seedling."
"Agree, why wouldn't he agree? I am their pride now. If I get another big one, how glorious will it be? He can blow for three days when he goes out to blow."
"More than that, I think he can blow for three years!" Xiao Xiao added.
Everyone laughed loudly.
After Ye Yaodong laughed, he said seriously: "So, you have no opinion here?"
"No opinion, how can there be an opinion."
"Then you handle your father there."
"No problem." A-Zheng patted his chest to guarantee, swearing.
Xiao Xiao asked with concern: "Then how should we distribute this boat?"
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, looking at the two of them looking at him, and said hesitantly: "I'm thinking about whether to just order two, you two order one each, and I will directly buy shares in you?"
"Ah, one each?"
The two looked at each other, feeling that they didn't have the ability to build such a big boat directly.
If Dongzi wants to engage in any team, they partner to make up a little share, it is possible.
"You don't have enough money, I lend it to you?"
Xiao Xiao deliberated for a while before opening his mouth, "Then if you still have to borrow money from you, it's no different from paying money to you? If you borrow money, you will lose more. Obviously, you pay the same money, but the share occupied is less..."
A-Zheng asked curiously: "How much does a boat cost?"
"Fengshou was 15,000 at that time, and it definitely won't be able to stop now. It is estimated that it will be more than 18,000. If the county can't hand it over, if you go to the city or the provincial capital to ask, it is estimated that it will be nearly 20,000. Originally, our small place will definitely be cheaper."
A-Zheng clicked his tongue.
"Then sell me, and I don't have that much money."
Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, half of one person will cost nearly 10,000 yuan, and you have to smash the pot and sell iron, and empty the family's bottom."
Ye Yaodong explained, "I'm thinking that if you order a boat alone, you will be more at ease in the future. If you have anything, you can make your own decisions directly. What's more, if you want to change to another boat in the future and don't want it, it's also convenient."
"Then it makes no difference if the three of us have a boat. It doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person. If you have anything to discuss, it should be easy to talk about, and there are no others."
"Yes yes, if three people share it, there can still be some spare money in hand, and it won't be that all the family's bottom has to be pressed up. What's more, if you buy it, you definitely won't change it for decades. If you don't encounter any natural or man-made disasters, who is stupid enough to take it out and change it? Your boat is big enough, and there are not many such big boats in our whole county."
Ye Yaodong saw that they had objections to one boat each, so he stopped talking.
Indeed, the pressure is quite high. Half of one person may be 9,000 to 10,000. Where can ordinary people take it out? Even if they earned a lot of money last year, it is impossible to empty all the family's bottom.
Some families take 900 yuan and feel that it is very fatal.
Being able to listen to him and agree without saying a word just now can be considered very powerful.
"Hmm, if you only want to partner for one boat, that's fine. Anyway, we will ask first in the near future and consult the price this year. I heard that everything has risen in price this year, and these building materials have all risen."
"Ask a few more times, anyway, we are not in a hurry."
"Okay, anyway, the preliminary consensus has been reached, and the rest will be discussed after inquiring about the price."
Both nodded happily.
"You have experience, you look at it, we all listen to you."
"Yes, you often go to the county city and provincial capital, you are familiar with it, just look at it yourself, ask everything, and then we will discuss it."
"Okay."
"It's still early, do you want my mother to fry two dishes..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand quickly, "Forget it, you have to go to sea at night, so don't drink, just chat a few words."
"You seem to have rested at home for a long time this time? Look at your boat parked in the middle of the sea, and you haven't gone out."
"Hmm, encountered things one after another, the old people at home feel that it is not peaceful outside, let us wait for Fengshou to go to sea together, don't go out alone. Anyway, we have earned a lot during this period, so we will rest for a few more days, and there are many things to do at home."
"Yes, I heard that your family is also repairing the tomb during this period..."
The three sat there chatting casually for half an hour, and then went back separately.
Ye Yaodong also told them that he would go to sea tomorrow evening or tomorrow night, and he would inquire about the shipyard when he passed by several places.
After inquiring clearly, call them to discuss together.
He also had a part of his mind thinking that maybe after catching jellyfish next month, they might be able to harden their hearts and get one each.
Anyway, it's not a few months, it's fine to look at it after asking.
He hummed a song and walked slowly on the path. The sound of insects and frogs rang all the way. He was still thinking about catching a few fireflies. He looked all the way, but it was not everywhere. It was not midsummer yet, and fireflies were relatively rare.
Still walked back to the path he just met, and then he met a few fireflies flying over the grass.
He looked at the grass pile carefully, and after not seeing any cow dung, he stepped into it with confidence.
Fireflies don't fly fast, very easy to catch, be patient, put your hands together and catch them casually, and you can get to the palm of your hand.
Worried that there was nothing to hold, he also pulled out his hem and wrapped it up first.
Caught three in a row, he let go of the scattered two or three flying.
At the bulge of the hem, there were already three points of light at this time, even if he was wearing white clothes, it could still show light points, shining.
Don't talk about children, he was very happy to catch three fireflies at this time.
Men are teenagers until they die.
When he returned home happily, Lin Xiuqing had already let the two children play on the bed.
"A-Qing, is there any thin small cloth bag?"
"What are you doing? There is a small piece of dacron fabric."
He turned off the light casually, and the two little girls immediately shouted happily, "No electricity..."
"It's not that there is no electricity, it's that I turned it off. Look, flashing, bright, bright~"
"Wow~ bright~ bright~"
"Bright~ bright~"
The two little girls were extremely happy, clapping their hands on the bed and jumping.
Happiness is so simple. They are happy, and adults look happy too.
Lin Xiuqing laughed, "There are fireflies so quickly, you still catch this child's stuff back."
"Just happened to see it, so I caught two back to coax them. You said it was a child's stuff, then the child must like it. Go and get some transparent cloth, I will put a few fireflies in the cloth head, just take a rope and tie the mouth, let them play."
"I'll turn on the light first."
The room was bright again, but the two children were unhappy.
"Gone? What about the bright one?"
"Here."
Ye Yaodong sat on the edge of the bed and pointed the hem to them. The two little girls immediately ran to him, poking the bulge of his hem, and the crisp and sweet voice rang again.
"Here... wow..."
The two little girls sat in front of him, their little fingers poking around, their eyes widened, filled with curiosity and exclamation.
"Let me go, I'll get you a cloth to pack it up."
Lin Xiuqing took a piece of dacron cloth casually, and then asked Ye Yaodong to scoop the fireflies back into the cloth and wrap them up, tie the mouth with a rope, and hand it to them to play.
The two little girls jumped and shouted happily.
"Don't jump, the bed will be jumped down by you..."
"Turn off the light... turn off the light..."
Lin Xiuqing helplessly went to turn off the light for them again.
Ye Yaodong saw the two of them playing with fireflies with their heads together, so he turned out to take a bath.
Lin Xiuqing also followed out, "What did your friend say?"
"They have no opinion. As soon as I said it, they agreed, and then told me to make the decision, and told me to ask more, and after confirming how to do it, everyone will discuss the money."
"Then you have to run up and down, run before and after."
"That must be me. I'm not at ease letting them go. They don't understand anything, have no experience at all. I have ordered several boats anyway, and I know where the shipyard gate opens."
"Then you see for yourself."
"Hmm."
The two little girls were playing with fireflies in the room, and the chattering words kept coming out, accompanied by silver bell-like laughter from time to time.
Lin Xiuqing also went into the room to watch them, so as not to turn off the light and fall down while jumping on the bed.
Very ordinary fireflies can coax the two to be happy all night, and they don't even want to lie down to sleep.
It was Ye Yaodong who put down the mosquito net, then untied the rope, let the fireflies fly freely above the bed, and coaxed them to say that lying down can see more clearly, so the two were willing to lie down.
Coaxed again to say that fireflies sleep with them, and they opened and closed their eyes, and fell asleep.
"When you wake up tomorrow, if you can't find it, you will probably have to make trouble again."
"Then tell them that it won't be bright during the day, and it will be bright at night. How can they remember when they are so young? They will forget when it is night."
"Sleep, you still have to collect the things at sea tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Not only the things at sea, but the next day he also arranged to rent the boat together, and by the way, went up the mountain with his father to do the final finishing work of the cemetery together.
Finally, taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, he drove the boat to refuel and add ice, and then came back with the Fengshou, parked on the sea, waiting for the villagers to go to sea together at the time of the rising tide at night.
On summer nights, the sea breeze does not carry residual heat like the day, but is cool to the heart, with a faint salty and moist breath, blowing on the face can take away the irritability on the body, leaving only coolness.
He only wore a vest, and the goosebumps were blown up.
At this time, there were already several flashlight lights flashing outside the pier. As they got closer and closer to the pier, the noise became clearer and clearer, and the silence of the night was broken.
Everyone came out at the tide, so there were quite a lot of people on the pier at this time.
The boat workers were waiting there in advance. As soon as they arrived, they could just get on one of their own boats and send them to the big boat.
The first time they got on the boat, they also checked the machine, checked the machine, and packed things.
Although they had checked it once when they went to the boat to refuel yesterday, they still had to check it routinely when they set off.
And the fishing boats on the shore seemed to wake up from their sleep, and fishing boats drove away from the shore one after another, breaking the calm of the sea, rippling circles, and spreading to the distance.
These fishing boats, of different sizes and shapes, are like fleets ready to go, drawing firm navigation tracks on the dark sea, some from their village, and some from the neighboring village.
After checking the machine, Ye Fu continued his burning of paper money.
"I don't know if the in-laws have burned some yellow paper to get rid of bad luck. Last time even the propeller was broken..."
"Everyone will."
Ye Yaodong thought that this might not be spiritual. If it were so spiritual, he would not have gone to sea on the previous trip, but would only rest and adjust.
After Ye Fu finished his ritual, he shouted, "Okay, okay, no problem, ready to set off."
The moonlight is bright and weak, the hull is reflecting faint silver light under the moonlight, the bow breaks the waves and moves forward, stirring up waves.
The fishing boats that drove past were all lit up, illuminating the busy figures of the fishermen.
They are either focused on controlling the steering wheel, with bright eyes, staring at the front, controlling the direction of the boat; or skillfully organizing fishing nets, their faces are flickering in the light, reflecting their persistence and tenacity for life.
As the fishing boats went further and further, the lights gradually merged into the boundless darkness, leaving only faint light and shadows.
The direction of the fishing boats was the same at first. After going far, everyone went to their familiar sea areas, and only their two big boats remained beside them, one after the other.
The coldness of the sea breeze on the sea increased, and everyone returned to the cabin one after another, intending to continue sleeping. Not long after setting off, there was nothing to do on the boat. The work of organizing was already done when setting off.
It is not yet 3 o'clock in the morning. It will be until the sky is bright before the fishing boats will start to set nets. There are still several hours, enough for them to make up for a sleep, raise their spirits, and work the next day.
Ye Yaodong also put on a coat, no longer wearing only a vest. He stood on the deck for a while before returning to the cabin to lie down.
It was dark all around, and there was nothing but water. There was nothing to do standing there. Even if he couldn't sleep, he had to return to the cabin to lie down so that he would have energy tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, there was nothing to communicate. After lying down, everyone closed their eyes. Except for the roar of the machine, there was no sound in their ears.
Ye Yaodong didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, the sun had risen.
The orange sun hung in the sky like a salted egg yolk. He also yawned, stretched, and after eating some porridge, went to the cockpit to replace his father.
"Just set the net?"
"Yes, it hasn't been half an hour since it was put down. Have you eaten? Just watch it here, I'll go back to the cabin to sleep."
He nodded. Since he didn't say anything else, it was a very calm voyage at night.
Ye Fu was also full of fatigue. He was old and his body was not as good as young people, so he couldn't carry staying up late.
Ye Yaodong maintained the speed of the fishing boat's operation, paying attention to the surroundings of the fish boat, and working seriously.
As the sun rose higher and higher from the sea level, the temperature on the sea gradually rose, and it was time to collect the first net.
The boat workers also took off their coats one after another, went to collect the cables, and started to lift the net. The net mouth was also gradually shrinking and was slowly pulled onto the boat.
The fishing nets behind also gradually floated up, carrying large pieces of white, belly-turning fish.
"So many white prawns..."
"Looking at a large piece of white, I thought it was fish, but it turned out to be prawns."
"Prawns are good. Prawns are big, meaty, and valuable. They are much more valuable than ordinary fish goods."
Ye Yaodong also saw the goods collected, looking at the number of prawns, it was really not small, and it should be hundreds of catties.
The boat workers were all skilled in work. After the goods came up, they poured them out, and then slowly put the fishing net down again to continue setting the net.
From morning to night, the fishing boat's operation did not stop, except for the time when the goods were sorted, there was a little free time to sit down and rest.
It was also because it was the first day, everyone had enough rest at night, and everyone worked together during the day, so the sorting speed was too fast, and there was time to rest.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is one net after another, and as soon as the work is finished, the goods continue to be loaded.
After Ye Fu woke up, Ye Yaodong handed the fishing boat to his father again. Just as a net of goods was collected, the boat workers put the empty fishing net down again. He went down and just helped to sort it together.
However, when he came down from the steering building, he just saw them squatting or sitting there pulling fish goods. Someone suddenly pulled out a large piece of red coral from a pile of fish goods.
"I didn't expect to be able to pull this thing up from the sea. Don't hook the fishing net..."
"Hey hey hey..." Ye Yaodong shouted loudly when he saw him sighing and wanting to throw it away casually, "Don't throw it."
"Do you want this?"
"Yes, this red is so good-looking, why throw it away?"
"It's useless to take this. I heard that there are many at the bottom of the far sea, with all colors. Look... there is a large piece of kelp here, dragged up from the sea, do you want it?"
Ye Yaodong saw the pile of kelp he specifically picked out from the side, grabbed a handful and gave it to him, and also smiled and said: "Yes, just take it to make soup at night."
"We also thought so, so we picked it out separately. Wait a moment, take a rope and hang it up to dry. After it is dried, you can eat it when you take it home. It is rare to catch such a large pile."
"These wild kelps are quite thick. It should be delicious to cook. Don't cut off the head. I want to eat the kelp head. This head is crispier."
"Okay, what are you going to do with this broken coral? It can't be eaten or drunk. It's better to catch more kelp, and you can add a meal."
"Don't you think it's good-looking? Take it and put it in the cockpit."
"It's a pity, I didn't bring two ribs on the boat, otherwise I could stew kelp with ribs."
"Aren't there some small kelp seedlings in here? Just cook it casually, and put a few shrimp, it will be very fresh."
Ye Yaodong held the coral in one hand, squatted down and grabbed the pile of kelp in the other, and also touched the tender kelp seedlings.
"Take such small kelp seedlings back and clamp them with a rope, hang them on the sea, and they can grow up."
"Take it back to raise? How to raise this?"
"Take a rope to clamp its head and hang it in the sea, can't it be raised? It's quite simple, and it grows very well."
He said it as a matter of course. Anyway, it is raised like this, but no one is raising it here now.
"It will fall into the sea, let the waves hit it a few times and sink..."
"The rope must be clamped tightly, and then tie some buoyancy balls, it won't fall."
"Hehe, then A-Dong, you pick the tender ones back, take them back to raise for you, and just teach us how to raise them..." ===== CHAPTER 1067 =====
