Everyone turned their attention to the door.
Mo Zi looked at Ye Yaodong with bright eyes and walked over quickly, "Dongzi, are you going to change to a bigger boat? Are you planning to go fishing in the deep sea? You are really good at it! Not long after this boat was changed, it was changed again.
It’s bigger…”
"Hey...stop, stop, stop...who said I need to change to a bigger one?"
Ye Yaodong glared at A Guang, saying that the guy who didn't talk about it was not there yet. He said it so loudly. If he had known it, he wouldn't have told him.
He just said that he wanted to buy another boat, any bigger one. It was a bit ambiguous, so he just defined it as a big boat.
A Guang touched his nose and said nothing.
Mouse looked at him doubtfully, "Didn't Aguang just say that you wanted to change to a bigger boat? That's so awesome? You two are really doing something great now..."
"The Aguang family just bought a boat, and now you are going to buy another boat. You two have made really good money in the past two years... one boat after another..."
"Hey, hey, hey... I haven't even written a word yet. Don't brag. I just have this idea. I haven't even collected the money yet. I'm just chatting with Aguang. I don't want to buy a boat.
It’s a small amount of money, I just bought a shop, how can I have so much money?”
"Don't be ridiculous. Last month, word spread throughout the village that you went to Zhejiang Province and earned thousands of dollars in just two months. You made a fortune."
"You can't believe what's being said outside. It's all nonsense. The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. We don't have the ability to buy a boat right now."
Ye Yaodong was very upset. He had money but still had to pretend to be poor. He still had to take the trouble to explain to others. It was so annoying that he didn't bother to explain too much. Believe it or not? Anyway, he didn't need to borrow money. He could just communicate normally.
But he didn't plan to say more. Lin Xiuqing didn't want people to think that they had a lot of money.
She smiled and said: "Don't look at how much money A Dong earns when he goes out. He spends more than half of his wages, gas and food and drink. It's not as expensive outside as in the village, and he will have to spend more in a few days."
I went to the city to pay for the shop, it’s 3,000 yuan, I have to put in all the money I earned!”
"Is the shop so expensive? I've long heard that your family bought a shop in the city. I didn't expect it to be so expensive. Dong Zi is really amazing. How long has it been..."
Mouse is really envious. Everyone has become famous without him knowing, and no matter how bad they are, they are better than him.
Ye Yaodong said casually: "I just happened to come across it, so I gritted my teeth and paid a deposit first."
"You guys have really gotten better and better in the past two years."
"It's just so-so. I'm really tired when I'm tired."
"Oh, people are so annoying. I have done a lot of work, but I have never seen any money. Fortunately, Aguang gave me a try this time to see if I can make more money this winter. The work at the dock is not good.
Dry."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the helpless A Guang and chuckled twice, "Then if you work hard, you will definitely get rich."
"I hope so. When will the barnacles on this boat be scraped off and painted?" Mouse looked at A Guang eagerly.
"Just wait a week!"
"Isn't this too long? Otherwise, don't scrape the barnacles and paint it first. When I return the boat to you in the spring next year, you can take care of it."
As soon as he said this, Aguang immediately frowned, "If the barnacles are not scraped off, the hull will be too heavy and the oil consumption will be severe. Moreover, if it takes too long, it will also damage the bottom of the ship, and the seawater will slowly corrode in. You should know this.
What’s more, you don’t want the boat to consume so much oil, right?”
Mouse laughed awkwardly when he said this, "Aren't I impatient?"
"Then it won't be less than a week."
"OK."
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and then the old lady smiled and said to the mouse: "I am too anxious to eat hot tofu. This is your first time to sail out to sea by yourself. You have to wait and see if there is a good day. It happens that there is no day these days. When the time comes,
Ask your wife to cook you some longevity noodles and give you two wallets, and you will definitely make a lot of money this winter."
"Hey, okay, I have to wait and see for a better time." The mouse also felt that it made sense and put a smile on his face again.
"The old lady looks very energetic. My grandma is already old and confused. She has to shout into her ear when talking."
"I guess it will be soon. Haha, people are like this when they get old. They are either dementia or deaf. Anyway, they have had enough years. Those who live longer will earn money."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Go and get two big baskets, just so they can choose what they want? Don't be polite, mice."
"well."
The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, why do you keep calling me a rat? It sounds so unpleasant, but everyone has a name."
"Aren't you used to this? Haven't you been called like this since childhood? I have even forgotten your name."
"It's a good thing I didn't ask for a small bowl."
Ye Yaodong almost laughed out loud.
Mouse’s father’s name is Chen Dawan…
The old lady also glanced at A Guang angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Aguang laughed and laughed, "So it's more appropriate to call him Mouse?"
Mouse also twitched the corner of his mouth, but did not refute. Anyway, he had been teased like this often before.
The entire afternoon was spent making jokes while everyone was working.
Basically, Ye Yaodong and A Guang were chatting, talking about the current price of fish, which net is more profitable? There were also weather and other things, and they basically revolved around the life of the seaside and fishermen.
The old lady would occasionally tell them a story or two, such as some unusual things that happened at the beach.
Everyone listened to it with gusto, and it sounded better than the opera box.
The old lady also said it very happily. When people get old, they are afraid that no one will like to listen to what they say.
…
Because of the large quantity of Ye Yaodong's sticky nets, the two sisters-in-law took five days to complete. During this period, they also replenished the fishing net strings and discussed with Ah Qing to buy a rolling wheel.
It wouldn't be possible without machines, and he and his father would have to work half to death.
Anyway, I made a lot of money, so why bother working so hard? You should spend what you earn, and you won’t need it in the next year or two. If you really don’t need it, you can sell it to his eldest brother and second brother at worst. Anyway, the money is not enough.
Even though he is a foreigner, he is still his brother.
Lin Xiuqing was also worried that if he worked too hard, it would be bad if he gave up his pick. Moreover, she also felt that she was sitting at home and enjoying the benefits, but he was working so hard and felt distressed. It was not a problem to borrow other people's things all day long, so she could just take them.
Money asked him to buy one.
Ye Yaodong also feels that it is really expensive to make all kinds of fishing nets. Most people just specialize in which kind of fishing nets they make, and they don't change them as frequently as he does.
Because each type of fishing net requires different machines, and the fishing tools on each fishing boat also have their own specialties, it does not mean that one type of fishing boat can handle all fish species.
Generally, fishing is specialized and only specializes in one type of fishery.
For example, a trawler needs a winch, which is a net-raising machine, and a specialized longline fishing boat must be equipped with a line management machine, a line reeling machine, a line pay-off machine, and a bait hanging machine. The type of longline fishing they operate is relatively simple.
.
There are also squid fishing boats and tuna fishing boats that need to be equipped with different automatic fishing machines. The technical content of this whole set of equipment is no less than that of a large oil tanker. It is estimated that this technology does not exist yet.
Medium-sized trawl vessels that double as purse seiners are mostly double-deck type, with a long forecastle, a working deck at the rear, and a tail slide. Some are equipped with two net rolling machines, which are used for bottom trawl and middle trawl respectively.
Fishing boats are very particular about various types of targeted fishing. Fortunately, the nets they use are very simple. They just place ground cages and trawl nets along the coast and in the coastal waters. Yanshen fishing is also extensive fishing, and there is no targeted fishing.
Those targeted fishing boats basically go to the deep sea or the open ocean, which is too far away from him.
After the nets were ready, the father and son went out to set up the nets after seeing the good weather, and went fishing on the longline.
The two networks maintain a long distance and do not interfere with each other.
This time, he had placed a full 50 sticky nets, and he was not going to test the water in a small way like last year.
I bought a machine and made a lot of money. I had to work hard, but I couldn't even earn back my capital.
After putting down all the nets and throwing the buoys, they returned and waited to collect them again the next day.
Sticking the mesh is so simple and saves fuel and money, but it costs a lot of money and is easy to break.
Sometimes the fish is larger than the diameter of the inner net, which is because the fish is wrapped in the net. At this time, the net has to be turned over, especially the three-layer net. It always has a missing hole. You can take out the fish if you can turn it over.
No need to break the mesh.
If it couldn't be turned over, one or two mesh wires would have to be broken before the fish could be taken out. The net would become useless after a short period of time. He estimated that the fishing net would have to be replenished from time to time during the winter months.
On the way back, Father Ye was still a little distressed, "I also bought another machine. If I had known better, I wouldn't have done it. This machine is quite expensive. It costs five or six hundred, right? I just want to do longline fishing and trawling to earn some money."
Just make ends meet."
Ye Yaodong explained: "But I met Uncle Lin a few days ago and heard from him that there are quite a lot of sticky net products these days. Not to mention that toad fish are cheap, turbot fish and manta rays are receiving pretty good returns."
"If I just do whatever I want to make ends meet, I might as well just follow Aguang's example and take a few months' rest. I thought I would do more while the goods were available, so I bought machines and threads and asked my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to do more.
.”
"Furthermore, I think my hope of buying a ship this year will come to nothing. If a large ship is ordered, it will definitely not be that fast. You may have to wait in line for several months, and it may not be delivered after a year. If you buy a machine, it will be ready next year.
The main reason for using it is to do it a lot and make money if you can return to it.”
"Then you can see for yourself. Just make up your mind and have a plan."
Father Ye is less likely to object to his decision now, because it has been proven many times that whatever he listens to is right.
What he was doing was quite reasonable, and he didn't do anything nonsense. It was all well-founded and well thought out.
"Well, when the time comes, we will continue to make up for the loss of the web. After all, the machine will not be used for only one or two years after you buy it."
"That's fine. Spend a little more money, and it's easy to do this. You don't have to get up early, and you don't have to be at sea all day long."
"You can still catch lunch if you go back now."
