Chapter 1703: Picking up leaks

~14 min read 2,743 words

The Pioneer fishing boat returned fully loaded, and in the gap of organizing and arranging fish cargo, the factory's car also received notice and drove over.

Ye Yaodong also clearly felt that the cars were very insufficient.

"Ajiang, come here."

"Ah, what's wrong, Third Uncle?"

"Contact Modu, when can your Dongfeng large car be available, determine a time, we go over and drive four cars back together."

"Now?"

"Wait for this batch to be delivered, you call and ask tomorrow."

"Can't you also ask tomorrow?"

Ye Chengjiang was puzzled, Third Uncle was urging, couldn't he call himself? Why do unnecessary things, want him to ask? And want him to convey.

"I don't have time, this boat of cargo is all unloaded, the fishing boat needs to be supplied with materials, and then must immediately go to sea, continue to collect cargo."

Now adding a Dongyu Hao to participate in fishing, his ship has to run until it smokes, roughly can't rest.

The 40-meter fresh-catch collection ship can only be used to collect a little when it can't be collected, the main force still has to rely on his Pioneer.

"Oh okay, I will call and ask immediately after delivering today's cargo. Third Uncle, do you have to be so rushed? Not rest for a day before going to sea? Didn't you just notify another fresh-catch collection ship to go out earlier?"

"That ship can't hold much, there is a lot of cargo now."

"Then Ajiang and I have to hurry up and take a certificate, otherwise when the car arrives, we still don't have a certificate."

"Then you guys entrust the tractor to others to drive for these two days, run to Modu, sign up, ask the coach, spend some money and basically can pass."

"Fine, we will run to Modu after this trip, and by the way, go to the scene to urge the large car."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

"Third Uncle, you sent two people over, have they taken the certificate yet?"

"Said a few days ago they were still queuing to take the exam and get the certificate, should be soon, you go back and ask your grandfather, or when you go to Modu, take a look, anyway, it's about the same, when the car arrives, they should be able to get started."

"Okay."

Ye's father didn't have time to come out this trip, he thought that when the cargo arrived at the port, after unloading, Ye Yaodong would return to the factory to rest, and then go to sea.

Didn't expect that after refueling and adding ice, he went out again without stopping, and let Ye Chengjiang convey anything that needed to be done.

Really can't not rush, Dongyu Hao participated, and just went out and there were more than 200 tons of cargo, now there are 10 boats of cargo waiting for him to collect, another fresh-catch collection ship can't collect much cargo.

If Dongyu No. 1 didn't participate, but continued to act as a fresh-catch collection ship, then it could be much easier, run a round trip and can rest, the 40-meter fishing boat can also be vacated.

Now can only rush, wait for the next trip to return and then change his father to go.

He is now seizing the time to run a trip, and by then he can return early to collect accounts.

Ye Yaodong set off immediately after queuing to finish refueling and adding ice, sailing away from the port.

It was already the next morning, didn't sleep all night, kept organizing the unloading of cargo, and went to refuel and add ice early in the morning, now there was nothing else, he handed the ship to others to control, and went to rest first.

The safety factor is relatively high during the day, and there is nothing to worry about after sailing away from the port, he also slept well.

Woke up when it was dark, just in time to take over the shift, and by the way, give everyone a class.

Just out of the rest cabin, he shrank his neck in the cold, opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of mist.

He shrank his neck, crossed his hands and rubbed them into the wheelhouse, "Why does it feel colder at night?"

"It cooled down again today, said there is cold air coming, maybe it will snow at night."

"Cooled down again, then it must be zero degrees? It was still seven or eight degrees during the day today."

"Already minus one degree..."

Just after finishing the sentence, a piece, two pieces, tiny white particles almost invisible, were blown obliquely by the sea breeze, hitting the cold glass of the wheelhouse, instantly turning into a tiny water droplet.

"Eh? Snowing?"

"Really snowing..."

At first it was sporadic probing, later a piece, two pieces, seven or eight pieces, flakes of snow were blown obliquely onto the glass, leaving winding water stains.

The ship's windshield wipers also moved.

"Just finished saying it and it snowed, no wonder it feels especially cold at night, the cold air is here."

"Pay more attention to keeping warm."

Fortunately, his ships were basically new, all added in the last two years, no old broken ships, don't need to worry too much about equipment aging or freezing, can sail with peace of mind.

Along the way, snowflakes were drifting sporadically.

"Really, the snow is falling, it's quite beautiful under the lights."

"It's rare to see snow at sea, it's quite good-looking, rare to see it once in a few years at home."

Ye Yaodong checked the radar, as long as it wasn't covered by snow.

Thought about it, he picked up the microphone again, "It's snowing, the edges of the deck are a bit white, the snow melts and turns into ice, everyone be careful when walking on the deck, don't slip and fall, the sailor on duty sweep the snow."

A shout on the deck, "Received."

He also took the opportunity to tell everyone about things to pay attention to on snowy days, such as some machines need to be careful, don't be covered by snow, or the weather is too cold, easy to be affected.

Along the way, they also constantly encountered fish schools, but they were small groups, it wasn't a pity to skip them, if they encountered large groups, they had no way, temporarily couldn't contact other fishing boats.

At this time, he scanned a large wave of fish school again, but with the approach of the fishing boat, more were detected.

He aimed the searchlight at the target sea area, in the light beam, snow and spray were flying, but the seawater underneath was obviously different, like boiling ink, bubbling silver-bright waves.

It's hairtail again! Thousands of hairtails!

Their slender silver bodies were illuminated by the snow light, as if the entire sea was turned into shaking mirror fragments, jumping madly.

"Hairtail again!" Everyone in the wheelhouse said in unison.

Ye Yaodong also felt the same, hairtail again, so many hairtails.

"It seems that hairtail is very abundant recently, still in the peak season, the peak season of this hairtail is indeed long enough."

It's been several years, the peak season hasn't been seen to shorten.

"Yeah, it can last for more than half a year, until the spring."

"It's a miracle that it hasn't been fished to extinction."

Ye Yaodong gave a light snort, "Estimated that no matter how much it is fished, it won't take long."

It started to be implemented around 1995.

The fishing season has been worse than one year in the last few years, but the fishing boats are getting bigger and bigger, more and more, once the fishing season arrives, thousands of boats compete.

This national reform plus the blow of the fishing ban period, don't know if the shipyard will close some.

"Yeah, more than ten years ago, yellow croaker was flooded and eaten until vomiting, now it's rare to catch a few, if it's fished like this, I see hairtail will be 10 or 20 yuan a jin."

"Then eat more hairtail tomorrow, so as not to be unable to afford it in the future."

"So many, we don't seem to be able to catch it..."

"This is too regrettable, encountered a large wave two days ago and Dongyu Hao could be called over, there are a few fish lights flickering in the distance, have to be cheaper for others later."

"We have been out for a day, can't see the continental shelf anymore, the seawater color has changed, otherwise we can call Dongsheng Hao."

"Not right."

Ye Yaodong kept staring at the display screen, suddenly found that within the detection range of the lower left corner, there were a few red dots flickering and moving rapidly.

"Should have big fish coming? See, moving so fast."

"What big fish is that?"

The acoustic echo detected, huge, spindle-shaped shadows like underwater torpedoes, rushed into that piece of silver fish school!

Ye Yaodong said affirmatively: "A group of great white sharks!"

"Great white shark!"

Everyone repeated in unison.

This is one of the ocean overlords, they rushed into the hairtail school, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Huge tail fins swung madly, generating huge stirring power and suction, blood basins and big mouths opened fiercely, revealing serrated teeth, every time they turned and bit, dozens or even hundreds of hairtails were bitten in half, or swallowed whole.

Snowy weather made visibility worse, but it didn't affect their sense of smell and sensitivity.

The fish school exploded instantly, blood foam and spray rolled in the snowflakes, hairtails jumped and darted in panic.

It might also be the stimulation of blood, when the great white sharks were madly biting the hairtails, they might have had a fatal collision with another equally fierce peer.

Ye Yaodong picked up the binoculars, only to see the water surface boiling, not long after, it should be the figures of two giant sharks fiercely entangled and colliding under the water, huge power stirred up waves as high as a person.

Their battlefield also turned from the water to the water surface, letting him clearly see two great white sharks fiercely fighting.

In the dark night, the two white figures looked especially clear.

The root of the tail fin of a slightly smaller great white shark was fiercely bitten, blood surged! It struggled madly in extreme pain, but the swimming posture obviously became strange and clumsy.

Those hairtail schools were hunted and killed by the white shark school, floating a large piece, and still gradually increasing.

The great white shark school might be full, or the hairtail school scattered and hid, not much left, they began to disperse rapidly.

Only leaving seawater filled with scarlet remains and hairtails, but with the surge of seawater, the color gradually faded, leaving only a white piece of hairtail corpses.

The sea surface gradually restored some calm.

"A great white shark seems to be left behind."

It was that injured great white shark with blood seeping from its tail.

"Are we approaching to catch it?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the person who spoke like an idiot, "Is it waiting for you to catch it in place? Although injured, people hide in the water, how do you catch it? Unless it can't move."

"Hehe..."

"Are there hand nets on the ship?"

"Yes, no fishing nets, this one has."

"Prepare, pick up these hairtails that were bitten to death and stunned on the sea surface, just pick up a little, this look at a glance is all white, should also be able to pick up dozens of tons."

"Received."

"This is called ocean fall, it's fine to pick up broken meat and pieces, use it as fertilizer, transport it to the bottom hold and process it into fish meal, anyway, pick it up since it's picked up."

"Understood."

Someone went to the deck to convey instructions, the crew on duty all moved, ready to start working as soon as they approached.

Although the entire large fish school was lost, a hunt by sharks unexpectedly pre-processed a large batch of fishing cargo for them.

They didn't need to cast nets, drag hard, just like picking beans, pick up the "spoils" floating on the sea surface.

The key is that they didn't have fishing nets, originally they were going to miss it, now they can pick up dozens of tons.

Small snowflakes were still falling in the sky, everyone diligently rolled up their sleeves, Ye Yaodong picked up his thermos cup and took a sip of tea, to refresh himself.

It's still better to be the boss, sitting in the cockpit, where the wind can't reach you and the snow can't touch you, legs crossed while sipping hot tea; the only thing missing is air conditioning.

But he wasn't idle yet, also flipping through the nautical chart, by the way also contact other fishing boats, see if they can be contacted, have been out for a day and a night.

He estimated that he should be able to arrive before dark tomorrow.

"I am Ye Yaodong, can Dongsheng Fishing Industry hear me?"

Accompanied by a sound of sizzling.

"Dongyu Hao received! Adong, you came out so fast?"

"Hmm."

"Fresh-catch collection ship received..."

"It's not bad to be able to contact two, wait until tomorrow morning, it should be able to contact all."

"Dongyu Hao is about to fill the hold, which boat of yours will come to pick up cargo first?"

Ye Yaodong said: "Fresh-catch collection ship go over, just in time to pick up Dongyu Hao's load capacity, just in time to return after picking up, don't need to dock with other boats again."

"Received, then I will dock with Dongyu Hao. Other boats are handed to you."

"Good, received."

The workers on the deck were also busy dealing with the hairtails and broken meat picked up.

They were like wild geese plucking feathers, after the surroundings of the fishing boat were empty, Ye Yaodong cooperated to move the ship to the side.

Picked for two hours, just in time to rest and change people when it was time to change shifts.

Dawn, Ye Yaodong let them stop, continue to rush with full force.

A young man ran over and said: "Boss, statistics are out, estimated to have picked up about 22 tons last night for 4 hours, broken meat not counted."

"Not bad, almost catching up with the amount of half a net, hard work."

The time to drag a net, plus the time to prepare and finish work, is more than 4 hours.

About the same, about the same, this amount is also considered okay.

"Not hard, we are considered relaxed, nothing to do before arriving at the place, everyone is energetic, can go back and lie down after finishing work now."

"Hmm, you also go to eat breakfast, go to rest early after eating."

"How about you go eat first?"

"I'm not in a hurry, you let them go to eat and come back to replace me to sail the boat."

He filled his stomach with tea, not hungry, just urinating a lot, went to the toilet all night.

Also took advantage of the gap of going to the toilet, he also took a few glances at everyone fishing.

Now it's just dawn, delayed for a few hours last night, estimated to arrive at the destination until dark.

He also went to rest after eating breakfast simply, wait for the fresh cargo at night, he has to refresh himself again.

On the public channel, the fresh-catch collection ship has already docked with Dongyu Hao, and is transferring fish cargo.

After he got up, the walkie-talkie could also communicate.

Dongyu Hao's cargo was transferred to the fresh-catch collection ship, just in time to fill the hold.

"Adong, it's still convenient to fish with your own boat, the remaining useless cargo is processed into fish meal, don't need to move small fish and shrimp around."

"That's for sure."

"The output has become a bit larger."

"Hmm, call other fishing boats of Dongsheng Hao, I will arrive at coordinate 123 in two hours, fishing boats fishing nearby prepare, who ranks No. 1 to collect fresh cargo, discuss it yourself."

"Received."
