After the bicycle got on the road, Ye Yaodong accelerated his riding speed.
He didn't call many friends today, no one disturbed him, and no oil bottles were dragged around. It was extremely quiet along the way. Although it seemed a bit boring, he rode faster, and it only took about an hour.
Arrive at the shipyard.
It was just time to get off work. When he arrived, the workers in the factory were filing out, probably going home for dinner. The old man in the factory was about to lock the door, so he hurriedly stepped forward and explained his purpose.
People also knew him and knew that he had booked a boat here, so they simply let him in.
However, no one greeted him at this point. The old doorman followed him while eating from his lunch box, so he just started shopping by himself.
That 26-meter-long ship already looks decent. It feels like it just needs to be painted and installed with machinery and equipment.
Although the cabin above has not been painted yet and the welding is a bit crude and not so beautiful, it is indeed quite large. There are two bunks and two bunks welded inside, leaving only an aisle in the middle that can allow one person to walk.
The boats he had been on were no different.
It's just a place to sleep, just a place to lie down. People who are wandering on the sea will not pay attention to these things.
There is also a larger fish warehouse underneath, so it is not a problem to load several kilograms of goods.
He circled around the ship, then climbed up and took a closer look. He was sure that the main body of the ship was almost complete, and only the machinery and equipment needed to be installed and debugged.
If everything arrives smoothly, we can test the waters in two months.
He couldn't put it down and touched it up and down, then turned around and asked the guard behind him who was holding a lunch box to eat, "Uncle, will this ship be delivered soon?"
"It seems to be soon, right? It's said to be delivered in June. If it doesn't rain, it can be painted in the next two days. After a few rounds of back and forth, the equipment will be installed. It may be delivered in advance."
"Oh, it depends on the weather. You can't say for sure. It could be earlier or later. You don't have to worry. You don't have to wait for the boat to be built before it can be made for you. The factory director has arranged for people to prepare the materials in the past two days.
Now, this boat is almost done, and the master can spare two to punish you."
Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"
I thought I would have to wait until the ship was delivered before we could arrange for his to be built.
"Well, isn't this ship almost completed? There is no need for a master craftsman. Painting is the job of the painter, and installing the machinery and equipment behind it is the job of the technician."
"Good. If we can start construction earlier, we can also finish it earlier."
"The number of people ordering ships this year is twice that of last year. We are running out of manpower. But your ship is big. I heard from the factory director that I have to prioritize manpower for you first?"
"Thank you, thank you very much. Since the factory is short of manpower, should we recruit apprentices?" Ye Yaodong thought of his father's longing for Ah Hai to learn shipbuilding.
"We are recruiting, but it is not for ordinary people to get in. After that, if you become a full-time worker, you will be a skilled worker, and you will have an iron job. How many people want to learn technology even if they want to, but the requirements are high. They say they have to graduate from junior high school, and they don't want to be older.
What is it? I don’t know.”
Then Ah Hai still has to wait two years until he graduates from the third year of junior high school.
Ye Yaodong nodded, and you can take him here for a walk next time on the weekend.
He asked the old man again how many ships were waiting to be built, and then checked the progress of other ships in the factory before the factory director came over on his bicycle.
"The construction of your ship hasn't started yet, so you don't need to come over for now. Let's come back to see it in the second half of the year."
"I came here to take a look out of curiosity. Anyway, I haven't worked in the past two days, so it's just idle time. If I come over and take a look, I can also supervise you to avoid being jumped in by others."
"Don't worry about this. When we place orders, we have to look at the order and the type requirements. Once we have set a delivery date, we will try our best to complete it before the delivery date."
"What if it's not completed before the deadline?"
"Then you can only wait. There are unforeseen circumstances on this day. If there are several typhoons, heavy rains, rainy seasons, etc., the process may be delayed. We can't say for sure. We can only ensure that we try to be on time."
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, a typical seller’s market!
"Let's go and have a sip of tea."
The Hokkien people drink tea wherever they go. They don't have to eat, but they have to drink a few sips of tea.
While he was drinking tea with his feet up, other people came over to see the progress or inquire about shipbuilding.
He saw that the people were so busy that they kept greeting people, and left in a sensible manner. Anyway, he hadn't started building the ship yet, so he just came over to take a look. After that, it would be fine.
The bicycle was riding on a dusty dirt road. It would have been okay if no tractor passed by. But when a tractor passed by, his hair immediately turned into hair like snow, and he could shake something out when he shook his head.
"Damn it! I have to wash my hair again when I get back."
Thinking that the temperature was high during the day, he didn't wear a hat. He scratched his hair twice and felt that it felt a little grainy.
At this moment, another tractor came slowly from behind, and he could only bear it again in depression, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance.
The tractor that was driving over belonged to Uncle Zhou. His back truck was raised with wooden boards and filled with sand.
Unexpectedly, within a few days of receiving the tractor, he was already taking over the work.
They turned around and glanced at each other, saying hello to each other. The two cars did not stop and continued to move forward. After a while, the tractor left the bicycle behind.
Ye Yaodong also pedaled faster, barely falling behind too much.
When the tractor drove into the village on the roadside, he continued riding for two minutes and returned to Baisha Village.
Father Ye had been waiting at his house until it was almost evening before he came back.
"Why didn't you call me when you went to the shipyard?"
"Aren't you thinking that the ship hasn't been built yet? I just went over to take a look, so I didn't call you."
Father Ye pointed to a pile of green fishing nets in the corner that looked like ground cages but were not ground cages, and said in a low voice: "When your uncle came over in the afternoon, he sent them over. He said he couldn't use them, and we happened to have two boats at home.
, I sent it here, thinking you might be able to put it to use."
Ye Yaodong walked over curiously, lifted up the fishing net, and took a look, "Is this a shrimp pot?"
"Shh," Father Ye winked at the neighbor, "Keep your voice down, your eldest and second brothers don't know."
After saying that, she looked at him with satisfaction and admiration, "I have very good eyesight. I haven't let go of the shrimp pots, and I even know the shrimp pots."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Have you never seen pork, haven't you seen pigs running? And you haven't let it go in this life, it doesn't mean you haven't touched it in your previous life."
What's more, his two brothers-in-law also have two simple shrimp pots at home, which are specially used to put shrimps in the river. Looking at the mesh of the net, can he not know what they are put in?
There is no big difference between ground cages and shrimp pots, except that ground cages are denser and shrimp pots are sparser.
The ground cage is a cage that holds fish, shrimps, crabs and other miscellaneous fish.
Shrimp pots are mainly used to store shrimps. Shrimp pots and crab pots are also ground pots. However, the mesh of shrimp pots is larger, and the mesh of crab pots is larger. It can automatically remove useless small fish. Targeted fishing can also cause fish to enter the bottom.
Shrimp pots are always bigger in size.
Moreover, this fishing net is still green. Shrimp pots are usually made with green fishing nets because the grass in the water is green, and green shrimp pots are easy to confuse the shrimps.
"I already have a ground cage, but recently I feel that the ground dragon is too useless. If I don't put it in, the shrimp cage will not be of much use."
"Wouldn't it be better to have more nets? It just so happens that you only have four rows of ground cages left. The quantity is too small. You can use these shrimp cages to supplement them. Shrimps are more expensive than fish."
"Besides, wouldn't you feel bad if the ground cage was gone? This shrimp cage was picked up for nothing. If it goes away, it won't be too distressing. At most, it will be a pity."
"If there are no wind and waves in two days, I will take the shrimp pots outside when setting up the netting and see if I can net more shrimps? You have to hire someone anyway, so I would like to collect two more shrimp pots by the way.
Yes, you can make more money by selling them. Since you are too lazy to put the cages now, just put the shrimp cages. By the way, there are not many here."
"Okay, let's wait until the wind and waves calm down a bit and then let it go when we go out to sea."
His father had said so, and he had secretly left it to him without letting his eldest and second brothers know, so what else could he say?
By the way, he has quite a lot of fishing nets piled up in his yard right now, including large trawl nets, sticky nets piled there on the trolley that had just been dried in the past two days, as well as more than a dozen baskets of longlines, and
There are neatly stacked ground cages and freshly whitened shrimp nets.
"Hey, isn't my uncle a runner? Where did you get the shrimp net?"
Father Ye said in a low voice: "It seems that when we were working at sea, we fought with other boats and robbed them. Then the boss of the boat felt that the shrimp pot was not of much use, so he asked them who wanted it, and he took it back."
"It's really dangerous. Their ship is pretty big, right? The ship they're fighting with should be pretty big too."
Father Ye nodded, "The sea is not safe, so we can stay in the surrounding coastal waters. We haven't gone very far. The surrounding areas are all from this county. They say the same thing. As long as we don't hit the ships on Luzhou Island, it will be fine."
Once you buy a big boat and go farther, you have to be more careful."
"Well, let's talk about it then."
I have to find an opportunity to get a gun as a backup. If I don't control it strictly now, it should be easy to get hold of.
The person Lin Jishang came to mind again, but I thought he was a bit dangerous. I'd better talk about it later, after the ship is built.
Ye Yaodong picked up the pile of green fishing nets in the corner and checked them one by one. He found that these shrimp pots were also different from the ground pots.
His ground cage is rectangular, but these shrimp cages are T-shaped cylindrical cages with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, which are quite large. They only have an inlet at one end and a lid at the other end.
Father Ye whispered again: "Don't tell your eldest and second brothers, otherwise you will say that we are partial again."
"I understand. Didn't they see it when they first brought it over?"
"I saw it. I said it was eliminated by others and you bought it second-hand from someone else."
"oh."
"We'll cover it with nylon bags first, but we don't know when we can go to sea."
I have yang, and yesterday I just felt sore and uncomfortable in my throat.
When I woke up this morning, my whole head hurt, my throat was even more sore, and my tonsils were not inflamed, but I couldn't speak and my throat was hoarse.
At noon, I lay in a daze all afternoon. The more I lay down, the more my head hurt. I drank a cup of coffee to relieve it.
Chapter completed!
