Chapter 145 Teaching a Man to Fish
Although he served in a certain Navy unit with Zhuang Haiyang, there was definitely no such thing as seasickness. But for Wang Yanming, who was born in an inland city, he didn't know much about fishing, so he naturally needed time to adapt and study.
On the day he arrived at Nanshan Island, Zhuang Haiyang did not arrange for fishing in the sea. After breakfast the next day, Zhuang Haiyang also began to talk to Wang Yanming about some things to pay attention to when going to sea to fish, as well as what he needed to do.
After listening to it, Wang Yanming was also surprised: "This matter doesn't seem difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult! In fact, I am busy with this small fishing boat now. My girlfriend is at home, so she will accompany me to sea. She is a child who grew up in a fishing village in Lingnan and is also familiar with the matters on the fishing boat.
However, I invited you and Jun Hong and the others to rent fishing boats and travel far away. At that time, I will hire an experienced captain and ask him to take us to a few boats. When we become proficient, the ship I booked will be delivered.
Although I have been fishing far away in the sea these days, no one can guarantee that I will make a steady profit and not lose money. But for me, I can’t guarantee anything else, it’s just a matter of how much I earn. A monthly income of over 10,000 is the guarantee, and how much I can earn depends on luck.”
Such confident words made Wang Yanming laugh and scolded: "You kid, you are so confident! OK, then today I will see how good your fishing skills are."
Wang Yanming, who had changed into a camouflage uniform brought from home and helped carry fishing tools, also began his first fishing journey to sea. After getting on the boat, Zhuang Haiyang first taught Wang Yanming to start the boat, and then taught him how to get down the hook and crab cage.
After getting the crab cage, Wang Yanming also asked curiously: "That's all right? How long will it take to collect it?"
"Under normal circumstances, I always come out to get the crab cage in the evening. At noon, I will take a lunch break alone. If I want to earn more, I will go a few more trips. If I want to be more relaxed, I can also send out goods in two days!"
"How much can you earn in a month like you?"
"Let me say that! Every time I ship, I can sell about 20,000 fishing goods. It is no problem to send out twenty times of goods in a month. If you count this way, if you throw away the oil and other things in a month, it is not a problem to earn 400,000 or 500,000 yuan."
"I kao! You kid aren't you bragging, are you? You're so profitable when fishing?"
"Others must be not as good as me! If I don't have some skills, would I dare to invite you to help?"
According to what Zhuang Haiyang said last night, if you don’t go out to fish in the distant sea, Wang Yanming and others will help you fish, and Zhuang Haiyang will give you an income commission of 20% of the total income. In addition, there is a guaranteed salary of 3,000 yuan per month.
Specifically, when they encounter a fishing moratorium, they can receive at least 3,000 yuan of guaranteed wages. If tourists are received during the fishing moratorium, Zhuang Haiyang will also give a corresponding commission for tourists' income.
After a brief plan, Wang Yanming quickly said, "Haiyang, I suddenly feel that the commission you gave is too high? Otherwise, I will learn from you during this period, so I'll forget about the commission."
After thinking about it, if he really wants to sell more than 20,000 yuan every time he ships, he can also get four or five thousand yuan. If he sells more than ten goods a month, wouldn’t he have a monthly income of more than 100,000 yuan? Wang Yanming also felt that it was a bit hot to hold the income.
Seeing that Wang Yanming was very serious, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Squad leader, why don't you do this! Junhong and the others didn't come here. I will give you a 10% commission for fishing fishing with me. Don't talk about studying, is it okay?"
"Okay! Since you kid insist on giving money, I'm ashamed to receive it!"
After the negotiations were completed, Wang Yanming also learned fishing skills from Zhuang Haiyang very seriously. Looking at Zhuang Haiyang who was collecting hooks and taking off sea fish from the hook, Wang Yanming also truly felt that fishing was indeed similar to picking up fish.
After collecting the first row of fish hooks, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Squad leader, you can pull the rest of this row. I believe you can see clearly what I did just now. It's useless to just look at it. Only by trying it yourself can you grasp the tricks."
"Okay! I'm going to pull the fish away, don't blame me!"
"It's okay! The hook I put down is not short of one or two fish that ran away."
As Zhuang Haiyang said, pulling fish and unhooking the hook seems very simple, but Wang Yanming felt a little busy when he really started to do it himself. Sometimes, because the pulling speed is too fast, the hooked fish will be directly run away.
In response to this, Zhuang Haiyang, who was standing next to him, also smiled and said, "Squad leader, if you see a larger fish on the hook and still have the more fierce fish, then pull it slowly. Remember not to pull it out of the water, use a copy net to copy it and then pull it."
"Well, remember! This fishing seems simple, and there are many tricks!"
"That's natural! It's actually a big difference between doing it. I believe you can learn it if you do it a few more times!"
Compared to the time it took Zhuang Haiyang to pull a row of hooks, Wang Yanming undoubtedly took longer. After pulling the last hook, Wang Yanming couldn't help but say, "You can't say it, this matter looks easy, and it's not easy to do!"
"Squad leader, I think you are not tired of sweating, you should be nervous. It's okay, just practice a few more times."
Wang Yanming, who was joking, did not refute. Looking at the sea fish classified in the water tank, he finally believed that Zhuang Haiyang would not return empty-handed every time he went out to sea. It was really rare to have such a harvest by just emitting the hook!
While it was still early, Zhuang Haiyang told Wang Yanming about his experience of wearing bait and hanging shrimps. After putting down the hook, he smiled and said, "Team leader, go, while the weather is good, I will take you to dig some good things. Wait for this hook to come down and pick it up!"
"Okay!"
When Zhuang Haiyang took Wang Yanming to the deserted island full of oysters and mussels. Looking at the densely packed oysters growing on the reef beach, Wang Yanming couldn't help but say, "Hold a grass, are these all oysters?"
"Yes! I finally discovered this Feng Shui treasure land. I told you before, asking you to bring your sister-in-law here. In the future, I really want to eat oysters every day, and I always feel that I will overfill you!"
"Stop coming! You eat every day, why haven't you seen you overfill it?"
"That's because when I dig these oysters back, most of them are dried goods. This is also a local specialty in my hometown. The tourists who came to the island to play last year all liked the dried oysters I dried, so let's pry some back."
"Okay! But teach me how to pry these things!"
Facing the densely packed oysters adsorbed on the reef, it really requires some technology to pry out the larger ones. Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang, a master, has rich experience and personally guided Wang Yanming how to pick oysters.
Occasionally, if you pry one or two of them, Zhuang Haiyang would smile and say, "Squad leader, it's okay! If it's rotten, it's rotten. Pull out the oyster meat inside and eat it raw. It tastes good! As long as you don't eat too much, it won't be a problem."
"Eat raw? It's really okay?"
"What's the problem? The oysters grown here are much cleaner than those artificially grown ones. If you don't believe me, I'll eat a few for you to see. I'll eat them now, and they'll be authentic in the future, and you'll get used to them in the future!"
In front of Wang Yanming, Zhuang Haiyang picked an oyster, opened it and took out the oyster meat inside, pinched it and threw it into his mouth. Looking at Zhuang Haiyang's face of enjoyment, it seemed that the taste was really good.
After trying it out, Wang Yanming, who threw the oyster meat into his mouth and chewed it, felt that it was a bit fishy just now, but he chewed it a few more bites, and the taste was indeed pretty good. The unique umami flavor of seafood still makes the mouth feel very enjoyable.
"Well, don't say it, it tastes pretty good!"
"Pry some back, and at night we will roast a few garlic oysters in the whole barbecue rack, and then add some fans, you should like it!"
"When you say this, why do I feel that I am not here to work, but to take a vacation!"
"It's okay if you think this way! For me, living alone in my hometown is both work and vacation. The most important thing is to look at how you view your life. If you feel tired, then take a break for two days, and the sky will not fall."
Wang Yanming didn't know how to refute what Zhuang Haiyang said. Every time he thought of his debt-ridden home and really didn't work, Wang Yanming probably couldn't sit still. But he had to admit that he was also envious of this kind of life.
Maybe one day he will no longer be busy with the pressure of life, and may also try to study with Zhuang Haiyang. If everything goes well, he will owed Zhuang Haiyang this huge sum of money he owed Zhuang Haiyang, and it may be possible to repay it in one year.
If you work for a few more years, you can earn a million in savings and return to your hometown and live a comfortable and worry-free life. As for starting a company and being a big boss, Wang Yanming felt that he didn't have the ability and would be satisfied if he could live a good life.
After prying two large bags of oysters and mussels, the two of them walked around the deserted island again. After returning to the fishing boat, they returned to the place where they had been placed before. This time, Wang Yanming took the initiative to take on the most tiring work.
Zhuang Haiyang did not refuse this, and it would be fine to try it more. The most important thing is that he could feel that the squad leader used this method to prove his value. In a sense, it was also a man's self-esteem.
Even if you get a salary, Wang Yanming hopes to get it with peace of mind. It is really not a big deal to calculate the 10% share. But this job is not as tiring as Wang Yanming imagines. Isn’t it natural to do more?
After the two rows of hooks were collected, Wang Yanming finally mastered some tricks. The last row of hooks did not show any fish. Looking at the various seafood harvested, Wang Yanming finally believed that he could eat seafood until he vomited in the future.
Wang Yanming, who set off for the first time, thought the job was really good. If he had such gains every day, he would have earned a lot of money in a month.
Although he knew that Zhuang Haiyang would have more income than him, in Wang Yanming's opinion, that was what Zhuang Haiyang deserved. In other words, Zhuang Haiyang would not earn less money when he asked other people to help with his work.
On the other hand, what about Wang Yanming? If you find another job, can you get such an income?
