Chapter 470 On the way back home
With the end of the domestic fishing ban, Zhuang Haiyang and his party, who went overseas for the first time, began to consider crossing the ocean and embarking on a journey back to China. The elder sister and her family who came to the ranch for summer vacation will also take the opportunity to return to China with Li Zixian.
Considering that the direct store business is on track, Zhuang Haiyang has also begun to consider whether to retain a regular fishing team in Newesile. Once he leaves, the direct store business will probably be greatly affected.
In response to the suggestion of Wang Yanming and others, the fleet was divided into two and a fishing team was retained on the side of Newesile. As a result, after considering it, Zhuang Haiyang shook his head and said, "There is no need, it will be too tiring if this is the case."
"As I told you, the fishery resources here are quite rich. Leaving a boat here can make a lot of money even if you go out to sea three times a month. If you return home, don't you feel that such a big boat is a waste?"
"What's the waste? If you really want to expand your team, next time we go out to sea, we will bring the other two fishing boats together. One big, two small and three ships, carrying more oil, can we still run far away?
As I said, money can’t be made. But I don’t want any of you to be unable to return from sea because of making money. When I am not here, I would rather you rest than take risks.”
Listening to what Zhuang Haiyang said, Wang Yanming and others finally had to give up the idea of dividing the fishing team into two. To their surprise, Princess Li, who learned the news, did not object at all, but was quite supportive.
Looking at Lin Wan and others who were a little puzzled, Li Zixian said directly: "I grew up in a fishing village and I know very well how much the risk of going to sea is. Many times, I would rather they go to sea less than they take more risks for it.
Besides, it’s nothing to make a little money. If there is too much fleet, it’s also troublesome for Brother Ocean to manage it. I don’t want him to stay at home for two or three days a month. Do you want this?”
Lin Wan and Lin Xin and others thought about Li Zixian's statement, and it seemed to make sense. Although they were not worried about their men going to sea, they were still worried after going to sea for a long time.
Some things are not afraid of ten thousand, but often they are afraid of something!
Now, every time they go out to sea, they are more at ease. If the team is split, who can guarantee that if something happens to the ship led by Zhuang Haiyang, as the ship owner, will also need to bear the responsibility.
The most important thing is that no one wants this kind of thing to happen. Even if you make less money, you won’t be able to make money. Even if you return to China and don’t run far seas, you will run around the surrounding coastal areas and have two fishing boats to assist. Isn’t that better?
After learning about these situations, Wang Yanming and others finally thought about it and felt that something was right. Even if they returned to China, their monthly income was also not low. Compared with other crew members, their income was already worthy of pride.
After confirming the date of return, Zhuang Haiyang summoned Louis and others again and temporarily assigned the affairs of the ranch to them. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zixian would come to the ranch to inspect soon.
Similarly, if Zhuang Haiyang has time, he will fly here directly or bring the boat here again. If the crew members continue to expand, perhaps Zhuang Haiyang will book another ocean fishing boat this year.
Although he has not been abroad for a long time, the money Zhuang Haiyang earned is enough to recover the cost. This means that if he booked another ship, he really has no pressure. At the end of the year, many non-commissioned officers in the old army will retire!
After seeing off his sister and girlfriend, Zhuang Haiyang led the fleet and went out of the sea twice in succession. After all the king crabs he caught were stocked in the expanded breeding cage, he decided to leave Noushilai and return home from the sea.
When he left, Zhuang Haiyang specially called Zhao Cheng, who had returned from his vacation, and said, "Old Zhao, you should have seen this thing before?"
"Hmm! Nutrition solution, right?"
"That's right! You probably have seen all the operations I had on the farming cage before, right?"
"I've seen it! I'll put nutrient solution and bait into the cage regularly, right?"
As the deputy security captain under Zhuang Haiyang, Zhao Cheng also gained Zhuang Haiyang's trust with his performance. Even if Zhao Cheng knew that the security captain Hong Wei, the one who Zhuang Haiyang trusted the most, was the security captain Hong Wei. But he felt that Hong Wei came earlier.
If it were him, maybe he would be the one who is most trusted at this time. Now Zhuang Haiyang handed over the affairs of the ranch to him, isn’t it a kind of trust? This nutrient solution is also the team’s secret!
Seeing that Zhao Cheng understood, Zhuang Haiyang also nodded and said, "I reserved a quantity for you for a month in this box. In addition to soaking the feeding bait, pour a bottle into the cage every three days. Remember, after diluting, pour it evenly into each cage."
"clear!"
"With one month's sales time, it is estimated that the king crabs we pre-stored were sold almost the same. In the later stage, the sea conditions around the Antarctic Sea will become more complicated. Salvage of king crabs will become more dangerous.
In view of this situation, our direct store stopped selling live king crabs, and I believe customers would not say much. At that time, the fruits grown on our ranch began to be launched in small batches and could still attract customers."
"Remember! I will definitely manage it for you in the fishing ground."
It is clear that the king crabs raised in the cage are of great value. Once dead crabs occur, the losses are still quite large. Compared with other crab catchers, most of them steam them and refrigerate them. Zhuang Haiyang is more willing to sell live crabs.
Because of this, the number of restaurants that book live crabs from the ranch is also increasing. When Zhuang Haiyang leaves, the share of the restaurants will be reduced. In more cases, the supply of direct-operated stores will be guaranteed.
The rest of seafood products, such as refrigerated tuna, do not have any problems. As long as there are customers purchasing, supplying them all year round will not be a problem. If it really doesn't work, then Zhuang Haiyang will bring the fleet back and go to sea.
In addition, many customers of direct-operated stores know that in order to ensure the freshness and quality of the ingredients, direct-operated stores will often remove some ingredients and put them on. If there is really no stock, then remove the product and don’t sell it. That’s enough?
After arranging the ranch and confirming that there was no problem, Zhuang Haiyang took a boat to leave the ranch again under the sight of Zhao Cheng, Louis and others. This time, many comrades took their personal belongings back to the fishing boat early.
When we arrived at the sea, Zhuang Haiyang, who came to the cockpit, discussed with Wang Yanming: "This time we go back to China, we will catch more king crabs. The remaining freezer cabins will be retained. We may not be sure, and there will be actions when we go back."
"Okay! What about the route back to China?"
"Look for the crabs first, and wait until the crabs are enough, we will confirm the route back to China."
Compared to the last time I came here, Zhuang Haiyang, who returned to China this time, still hoped to follow the ancient Maritime Silk Road. He wanted to take this opportunity to return to China to see if he could gain something. He was not greedy for too much, and he would be content to be able to salvage a shipwreck.
In that case, it would be considered as bringing gifts to Zhao Penglin and others. It would always be boring to salvage shipwrecks near the high seas of our country. If some foreign ancient shipwrecks could be salvaged, I believe Zhuang Haiyang and others would be happy.
He believed that these comrades who were on the boat would be happy to participate in such a salvage operation. Compared with the income from fishing, the income from salvage of wrecks would undoubtedly be more. Moreover, the subsequent income would also allow them to enjoy considerable dividend income.
When he arrived at the Antarctic Sea, Zhuang Haiyang directly arranged two crab hunts in the morning and evening. In this way, in less than two days, the water tank was filled with the caught king crabs. The extra ones were even put into the freezer cabin.
After finishing all this, Zhuang Haiyang also said: "Squad leader, you can start returning!"
"I understand! I will probably have to wait until next year to have a chance to come here!"
"What's the hurry? Crabs are here and can't escape. Besides, if we fish like this, if we can really catch them all year round, we will be able to catch them sooner or later. You should also give some time to let the crabs grow a little more!"
"It seems to make sense to hear you say this!"
If it were other crab boats, they would be busy for three to five months a year, and most of them would rest at other times. It was not that they could not catch king crabs, but to ensure that king crabs would not be caught in a short time.
Even if the Antarctic Sea has abundant fishery resources, it cannot withstand large-scale and long-term fishing. Especially like Zhuang Haiyang, it seems that only large crabs are left behind every time. Over time, it will still have an impact on the reproduction of king crabs.
Fortunately, the king crabs are reproductive very fast, so there is no need to worry about being caught in a short period of time. The problem is that if you catch them too frequently, the number of large king crabs will inevitably decrease sharply. In this case, it is necessary to let them take a rest.
According to the sailing route selected by Zhuang Haiyang, the fleet did not choose to take the route they came before this time, but chose another route. Judging from the route, there was actually not much increase. Naturally, the crew members would not say much.
Compared to the last time I came, the people who returned to China seemed much more natural and relaxed. When I was bored every day, many comrades would come to drag the hook and stay on the deck to enjoy the fun of sea fishing.
If you can catch fish, you will naturally be happy to have a meal. If you can't catch it, you can pass the time. If you really want to eat seafood, Zhuanghaiyang, which often goes into the water and sails with the boat, can also provide the crew with fresh and delicious seafood from time to time.
Even after eating too much, many comrades couldn't help but complain: "Old Wu, can you stir-fry more vegetables? I'm really tired of eating this big lobster or something! Change the taste, even if you stir-fry bean sprouts!"
If others hear this, they will probably be so depressed that they vomit blood. But for many crew members, this is the truth. The reason is that if they like to eat it, they can really eat the lobster every day.
Wu Xingcheng, who was criticized, said angrily: "You guys, it seems that you are really tired of eating big fish and big meat? It takes time for bean sprouts to grow. Do you think you can eat them tomorrow if you plant them today?
If you really feel tired of eating, I will tell the ocean later that these big lobsters might as well keep them. Anyway, our small water tank is still empty, so we should be able to raise a lot of big lobsters. If these lobsters are brought back to China, they can be sold for a lot of money!"
It is really not difficult for Zhuang Haiyang to dive and catch fish and shrimp at this moment. Every time I go back to the boat, Zhuang Haiyang takes off the boat net bag, there will be a lot of top seafood. If the ship is sunk, I still haven't found anything yet.
In fact, this time he focused on searching for Zhuang Haiyang on the shipwreck, and found some shipwrecks that sank the seabed. He even discovered many warships that sank in the sea during World War II.
Zhuang Haiyang really salvaged a lot of good things from these warships. However, he threw these things into the Dinghaizhu space and did not allow other comrades to participate in such a salvage operation.
The reason is very simple. The depth of these wrecks has exceeded the distance that these comrades can help. In this case, Zhuang Haiyang naturally cannot share with them, so he can only plunder the valuable things and then continue to sail forward.
After sailing for a few days, Wang Yanming, who was in charge of driving the ship, seemed to be very happy: "I should enter the South China Sea now! It will take me a few days to return to China when I get here."
"Yes! I feel like I am returning. Compared to the speed when I came, I find that I am returning faster!"
"This hasn't arrived in China yet! It will take a few more days to drive from here to Nanzhou!"
For the crew on the ship, even if they know that the South China Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean. They can sail in other waters of the Pacific Ocean and in the current waters, they still feel that the sea area in front of them is more intimate.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Squad leader, find some time to see if there is a suitable deserted island nearby. Let's find an opportunity to take a break, let your brothers get off the boat and go to the island and feel the taste of land."
"Okay! It's still no problem to find an uninhabited island. However, I suggest going to the sea areas under our jurisdiction. Most of the sea areas under other countries are in exclusive economic zones, so it will be more troublesome to go to the island."
"It's okay! You can do this matter as soon as you can! We don't need to hurry up here."
It is clear that the driving team is really hard for such a long sailing. But Wang Yanming and others know that they can't help returning to Zhuang Haiyang this time. Compared to their boat driving, it is not boring, and other crew members on the boat are even more boring.
I ate and slept, ate and stayed on the boat every day, but I couldn’t find anything to do. It was really boring after staying for a long time!
When sailing to the territorial waters under domestic control, Zhuang Haiyang and his party felt much more relaxed. Not to mention the ocean fishing boats they drove this time, even if they were the previous salvage boats, they would sometimes come to this area to catch fish!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Yanming, according to the chart, finally chose an uninhabited deserted island with a small area but a beach and vegetation, and began to turn the ocean fishing boats not far from the island.
Seeing this deserted island and looking at the excited people, Zhuang Haiyang still instructed Hong Wei and others to drive a lifeboat to the island to reconnaissance in advance. Only by confirming the safety of the deserted island would other crew members go over.
