Back to the small fishing village in 1982

After the bicycle got on the main road, Ye Yaodong accelerated his riding speed.

Today I didn’t call a few friends, no one disturbed him, and there was no oil bottle. The road was extremely quiet. Although it seemed a bit boring, he rode faster, and he rode for about an hour. To the shipyard.

It was time to get off work. When he arrived, the workers in the factory were coming out in a file. They probably went home for dinner. The old man in the factory was about to lock the door, so he hurried forward to say what he wanted.

They also knew him, and knowing that he had booked a boat here, they simply let him in.

But no one greeted him at this point, and the old doorman followed behind him while eating with his own lunch box, so he simply started shopping by himself.

The 26-meter big boat already looks decent, but it feels like it needs to be painted and installed machinery and equipment.

Although the upper cabin has not been painted yet, and the electric welding is a bit rough and not so beautiful, it is indeed quite large. There are two upper and lower bunks inside, and only one aisle is left in the middle for one person to walk. The boats he had been on were no different.

It's just a place to sleep, just have a place to lie down. People who are drifting at sea don't pay attention to these things.

There is also a fish warehouse with a larger space underneath, and it is not a problem to store a few thousand catties of goods.

He walked around the boat, climbed up to check it carefully, and was sure that the main body of the boat was almost ready, only the machinery and equipment were installed and adjusted.

If everything arrives smoothly, it will take less than two months to test the waters.

He couldn't put it down, he touched it up and down, and then turned his head and asked the doorman who was holding a lunch box to eat, "Uncle, is this ship going to be delivered soon?"

"It seems to be soon? It is said that the delivery date is in June. If there is no rain, the paint can be painted in two days. After a few back and forth, the equipment will be installed, and the delivery may be ahead of schedule."

"Oh, it also depends on the weather. It's not sure. It's possible sooner or later. You don't have to worry. You don't have to wait for the boat to be built before you can arrange it. The factory manager has arranged for people to prepare materials for the past two days. That's right, this boat is almost ready, and the master can spare two of them to fix you."

Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

I thought we had to wait for the ship to be delivered before we could arrange to build him.

"Well, isn't this ship almost finished? There is no need for a master. Painting is the job of a painter, and installing machinery and equipment later is the job of a technician."

"Okay, if you can start work earlier, you can also finish it sooner."

"The number of people booking a ship this year has tripled compared to last year, and there is a shortage of manpower. However, your ship is big. I heard from the factory manager that the manpower should be given priority to you first?"

"Thank you, thank you. Since the factory is short of manpower, do you want to recruit apprentices?" Ye Yaodong thought of his father and wanted Ah Hai to learn shipbuilding.

"Recruitment, but it's not something that ordinary people can enter. After becoming a regular worker, they will be skilled workers and have a solid job. Many people want to learn technology after breaking their heads. What's the matter? I don't know either."

Then Ah Hai has to wait for two years, until he graduates from the third year of junior high school.

Ye Yaodong nodded, it's okay to take him around next time on the weekend.

He asked the old man again how many ships were waiting to be built, and checked the progress of other ships in the factory before waiting for the factory manager to come by bicycle at night.

"Your ship hasn't started to be built yet, so you don't have to come here for the time being, and come back in the second half of the year."

"I came here to take a look because I was curious. Anyway, I haven't worked for the past two days, and I'm idle. Come and take a look. I can also urge you to avoid being cut in line by others."

"Don't worry about that. We arrange the order according to the order, but also according to the type requirements. If the delivery date is set, we will try our best to complete it before the delivery date."

"What if it's not finished before the deadline?"

"Then you can only wait. There will be unforeseen circumstances on this day. In case of several typhoons, heavy rains, rainy seasons, etc., the process may be delayed. How can we say for sure, we can only make sure that we try our best to be on time."

Ye Yaodong pouted, a typical seller's market!

"Let's go and have a drink or two of tea."

Wherever the Hokkien people go, they drink tea. They don't need to eat food, but they have to drink two sips of tea.

While he was sipping tea, other people came to check on the progress or inquire about the shipbuilding.

Seeing that people were busy with their feet not touching the ground, he kept greeting people, and left in a sensible manner. Anyway, his boat hadn't started building yet, so he just came over and had a look.

The bicycle was riding on the dusty dirt road, and it would have been fine if there were no tractors passing by, but when a tractor passed by, his hair immediately turned into snowy hair, and something could come out from shaking his head.

"Damn it! I have to wash my hair again when I go back."

Thinking of the high temperature during the day, he didn't wear a hat, and scratched his hair twice now, feeling a little grainy to the touch.

At this moment, another tractor drove slowly from far to near behind him. He could only bear it again depressed, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance.

The tractor that was driving was owned by Uncle Zhou. The back of his truck was raised with wooden planks and filled with sand.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of getting the tractor, he was already connected to the job.

Turning their heads and looking, they greeted each other, but the two cars did not stop, and continued to move forward. After a while, the tractor left the bicycle behind.

Ye Yaodong also kicked up faster, barely falling behind too much.

When the tractor drove into the village on the side of the road, he continued to ride for 2 minutes and returned to Baisha Village.

But Father Ye has 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?"

"Didn't you think that the ship hasn't started yet? I just went over to have a look, so I didn't call you."

Father Ye pointed to a pile of green fishing nets in the corner, which looked like ground cages but were not ground cages, and said in a low voice, "When your eldest uncle came over in the afternoon, he sent them over and said he didn't need them. We happen to have two boats at home. , I sent it here, thinking that you should be able to come in handy."

Ye Yaodong walked over curiously and picked up the fishing net, took a look, "Is this a shrimp pot?"

"Hush", Father Ye winked at the neighbor, "Keep your voice down, your elder brother and second elder brother don't know."

After speaking, he looked at him with satisfaction and admiration, "I have good eyesight, I didn't let the shrimp pot go, and I even know the shrimp pot."

Ye Yaodong hehe twice, haven't you seen pork, haven't you seen pigs running?And if 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's house also has two simple shrimp cages, which are specially used to put river shrimps in the river. Looking at the meshes of the nets, how can he not know what they are for?

There is no big difference between the ground cage and the shrimp cage, but the ground cage is denser and the shrimp cage is thinner.

The ground cage is a cage for various fish such as fish, shrimp and crab.

Shrimp pots are mainly used to store shrimp.Shrimp pots and crab pots also belong to ground cages, but the mesh of the shrimp pots is larger, while the mesh of the crab pots is larger. Useless small fish are automatically removed, and targeted fishing, and some fish will enter the lower shrimp pots, but the size is the same. will be bigger.

And this fishing net is still green, and the shrimp pots are usually made of green fishing nets, because the grass in the water is green, and the green shrimp pots are easy to confuse the shrimps.

"I already have a ground cage. Recently, I feel that the ground dragon is too weak. If I don't put it in, this shrimp cage is not very useful."

"Isn't it good to have a few more nets? It happens that you only have four rows of ground cages left. The number is too small. It's good to use this shrimp cage to replenish it. Shrimp are more expensive than fish."

"Besides, if the ground cage is gone, won't you feel distressed? This shrimp cage was picked up for nothing. If it is gone, you won't feel so distressed. It's a pity at most."

"If there is no wind and waves in two days, I will take the shrimp pots outside and put them outside when the net is being glued, and see if I can net more shrimps? Anyway, I need to hire people, so I will collect two more shrimp pots by the way. Yes, you can sell it for a little more money, anyway, you don’t even bother to put the ground cages now, so let’s put the shrimp cages, and by the way, there are not many here.”

"Okay, then wait for the wind and waves to calm down, and let it go when you go out to sea."

His father said so, and he secretly left it to him, without letting his elder brother and second brother know, what else could he say?
In other words, there are quite a lot of fishing nets piled up in his yard now, including large trawl nets, sticky nets piled there on the cart that have just been dried in the past two days, and dozens of baskets of longlines, and more. There are neatly stacked ground cages and freshly obtained shrimp nets.

"Hey~ Isn't uncle a long-time runner? Where did you get the shrimp net?"

Father Ye said in a low voice: "It seems that when I was working at sea, I fought with other ships and snatched it. Then the boss of the ship thought that this shrimp pot was not very useful, so he asked them who wanted it, and he took it back."

"It's really dangerous. Their boat is quite big, right? The boat they fought with shouldn't be small."

Father Ye nodded, "It's not safe at sea, we can do well in the surrounding seas, and we didn't go very far, the surrounding areas are all from this county, and they speak the same language, as long as they don't touch the boats on Luzhou Island, it doesn't matter. When you buy a big boat and go further away, you have to be more careful."

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

I have to find a chance to get a spare gun. Now that the management is not strict, it should be easy to do.

Lin Jishang appeared in his mind again, but he was crossed in his heart again. This person is a bit dangerous, so let's 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, and found that these shrimp cages were also different from the ground cages.

The cages in his house are rectangular, but these shrimp cages are T-shaped cylindrical cages with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, which is quite large, and there is only an inlet at one end and a cover at the other end.

Father Ye whispered again: "Don't tell your eldest brother and second brother, or you should say that we are biased."

"Understood, they didn't see it when they brought it here?"

"I see, I said it was eliminated by others, and you bought it second-hand from someone."

"Oh."

"Cover it up with a nylon bag first, and I don't know when I can go to sea."

I have two yang, and yesterday I just felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable in my throat.

When I woke up this morning, my whole head hurt, my throat hurt even more, and my tonsils were not inflamed, but I couldn't speak at all, and my voice was hoarse.

I lay groggy all afternoon at noon, and my head hurt more and more. I drank a cup of coffee to relieve it.
