Back to the small fishing village in 1982

When the Ye family's father and son arrived, they sat down and chatted first.

The atmosphere in the entire Pei family was also full of joy, and everyone looked happy.

Even Aguang's daughter was standing in the standing cage, excitedly tapping the edge of the wave drum, and from time to time she would lower her head and bite with her mouth open.

When Ye Yaodong saw it, he picked her up with a smile and put her on his lap to play with, "Did she have teeth and her mouth is itchy? Her appearance is as good as that of Xiao Jiu, haha."

Father Ye also teased the child happily, "The two are about the same age. If we have company in the future, we can go to school and play together."

Ye Huimei brought out a large plate of cut watermelon and said with a smile: "Eat the watermelon first, and chat while eating."

Father Pei also greeted them with a smile on his face, "Sit down first, I will go to the house to get the order, and we will settle the account when Lao Zheng comes."

"Good good."

Except for Ye Yaodong, everyone else stayed on the ship for five days and everything was clear.

Ye Yaodong also chatted with his father for a while while eating and got a general idea.

"When do you plan to go again?"

"I'm thinking of taking advantage of the good weather recently, taking a day off tomorrow, and going there tomorrow night. I'll call in two more people tomorrow for the missing manpower."

"That's hard work for you."

It is only the beginning of the month and there are no typhoons yet, so you can go there more often, otherwise there may be more typhoons at the end of the month or in August or September. Regardless of whether they pass by their side or not, the sea will always be affected.

Even if the sky is clear, the waves may hit his door and it will be difficult to go to sea.

"Isn't this hard work? I will also get paid along with the workers. When the time comes for me to take a break, I'm afraid A Guang won't be able to handle it. I want to trouble your father to go with him. Is it convenient for you guys to see?"

A Guang also said: "I am inexperienced and not as powerful as our father. If we take turns with him, I will be afraid that I will not be able to make up my mind when the time comes to board the ship alone. Can I ask my father to follow me for a few trips?"

"Uncle Zheng has his own boat, and he took the time to go with him this time. He will not follow him in the future. He said that as long as you call him when you want to divide the money, he will not care about anything else."

Father Pei also followed up with persuasion: "Didn't you share one of your boats with your eldest brother and your second brother for partnership?"

"Or just find someone to join the other two boats, and you can relax yourself. Anyway, I heard that your boat can be delivered by the end of the year."

Father Ye shook his head directly, "That won't work. I haven't gotten the big trawler yet, so I have to keep one on hand. Otherwise, if I sit idle and become lazy again, what should I do?"

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. His father really didn't give him face.

"How is that possible? There are still fish drying at home, and there is a shop, and I have to go back and forth occasionally to take a look. Dongzi is already very good." Father Pei smiled and complimented.

"Haha, it is already very powerful, but someone still needs to help keep an eye on it and supervise it."

Aguang said again: "Then let's keep one boat in hand and send another boat out? This way you won't have to be too tired. Originally, our boat was sent out to collect half of the rent. This idea came from Dongzi."

Ye Yaodong held the child in his arms and fed her watermelon. He turned around and said, "Look at my dad, you can ask my dad what he wants. I can do it. You can ask him to go with you to help control it. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about the boat at home." .”

"If my boat is released for partnership, it will have to wait until the jellyfish fishing is finished. It would be a huge loss to release it now."

"Yes, yes! Dongzi is right." Aguang patted the table. "Dad, we were in a hurry. We rented the boat to the future eldest brother-in-law's brother-in-law without thinking clearly."

Father Pei also felt regretful, "I thought about it later. At that time, I thought that people were coming to ask for me, so I couldn't refuse at the moment."

"If you don't rent it, you don't need two months' rent. You can just throw it on the dock. When you catch jellyfish, just hire a few people. Then you can make several times more money. Oops, it's a big loss."

"We agreed to rent it out, so there's no need to say anything else." Father Pei looked at Father Ye again, "What did you say?"

"I can do it, no problem. I am a son-in-law. If you need help, just tell me. I can also gain more experience by following Aguang. When Dongzi's ship comes back, I will be more familiar with it. Take turns. Help."

"Okay, that's no problem. When Lao Zheng comes over later, we will calculate the accounts, divide the payment for the fishing in the past few days, and then discuss the wages."

Father Ye nodded and looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Then if I go to sea with A Guang, I should let your eldest cousin and Brother A Sheng sail the boat at home, right?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I know."

He will not move his eldest cousin and Brother Asheng. When his big boat comes back, if they are fine, he will rent his two boats to them.

But during this time, he was thinking about taking those teenagers with him?
It seems that the nature is not bad, who is not a teenager yet.

When you are young, you are also very malleable. If someone gives you a hand, the situation of ordinary people will be completely different.

At that time, the workshop will take turns to arrange two of them, and one of them will be put on the same boat as Brother Aseng and his eldest cousin, so that they can learn a little first and gain experience.

You can continue to call your own boat Chen Shi.

Then, those who watch the workshop can take turns fetching water and cutting firewood for his family!This way, he won't have to be exhausted occasionally and have to do these tasks when he comes back. When the time comes, the dry firewood and fresh water needed to dry the fish will also be done by someone.

Working during the day and keeping watch at night, perfect!

Leading a group of young people who are talented and leisurely to be positive and positive, he has also made countless merits!
Mazu can protect him even more!

His thoughts were a little far away, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He didn't listen to other people talking about it, and he was a little distracted.

It wasn't until Ye Huimei came over to take the child away from his hands that he came to his senses and realized that Uncle Zheng was here.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone stood up and asked Uncle Zheng to sit down.

Ye Yaodong also took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands covered in watermelon juice.

They had already exchanged pleasantries.

"I'm far away, and it's too late to come here by bike."

"You have a lot of time, why don't you be too late? Let's eat a piece of watermelon first. Let's do the calculations. We have taken out the orders and they are all here. We have sold goods several times on the ship, and you all know it. Anyway, we are all There’s a list.”

Uncle Zheng took a piece of watermelon and took a bite. "This is simple. Just add the amount on these bills and subtract the money for gas and ice cubes. You don't have to wait for me. I'll do it anyway." Just came here to get the money.”

"Just kidding, everyone has a share, we must wait for everyone to settle the accounts together."

Aguang took a pen and paper and pushed the lists in front of Ye Yaodong, "You read it and I'll add or subtract it. We probably all know how much it sold for. You don't know, so you can take a look at it by the way."

"Row."

He took a pile of lists on the table and looked through them, separating expenses from goods sold.

Uncle Zheng also kept praising him, "A Dong can still read, which is really impressive. Young people nowadays are amazing. Each one of them is much better than us old guys."

"He also suddenly became enlightened in the past two years. He went to literacy classes for a few days and learned a few words. Otherwise, he would never know the words. He would just play all day long."

"It's good to be able to read. I asked my son to attend literacy classes. He was unhappy with his life and death, saying he would make others laugh. What's so funny about this? Those who learned it are their own."

"Yes, it's so convenient to learn Chinese characters. You can go anywhere..."

The three old men were eating melon and chatting there.

Aguang and Dongzi reconciled their accounts there, but they were not affected.

They only sold goods 5 times in total in 3 days, and they sold them almost once every two days.

For the first time, because we were in the middle of the sea and far away from the shore, we directly contacted the fresh-picking ship. When we were selling, we obviously felt that the price difference was huge. Most of the goods were only about half to two-thirds of the price on the shore.

Look at the value of the goods. If the price drops for cheap ones, they will go down. For good goods that are more expensive, the price difference will be bigger when sold.

However, they did not know at that time how many days they would stay at sea and how long it would take to land. The freezing technology on fishing boats was not good now. They were also worried that the ice would become stale after a long time and the losses would be even worse. All of them would be lost the first time. All sold at once.

Two days later, when the warehouse was full of fish, it happened to be not far from the shore. It only took 4 hours to go back and forth, so they simply went ashore to sell.

On the last day, when the supplies were almost exhausted, they simply headed back home. They passed several large docks on the way, asking about prices along the way. When they found a relatively high one, they sold it directly, and then drove back.

Therefore, the prices of the three cargo orders in his hand are quite different. One of them should be the price sold on land. Compared with the highest price, the difference is more than 3/1. This may have something to do with the amount of goods sold at that time.

The other one with a similar price may have been sold on the day it came back, because there was only more than one day's worth of goods. Although the landed price was high, the quantity sold to the fresh-collecting ship in two days was not much higher.

This is unavoidable. The fishing boat must make money. The fishing boat is in the middle of the sea and the boat is full of goods. If there is a lot of fish on that day, of course, it will be reluctant to dock and waste time.

One hour of fuel consumption costs over 15 liters, which is 200 cents per liter, which is about [-] yuan. It takes several hours to go back and forth to the shore, and I am still short of [-] yuan in gas money.

And I don’t know how long it will take to get ashore, especially the fishing time. With so much time, I may not be able to catch more than two or three nets.

Unless necessary, they generally won't dock, especially those who plan to return after only going out for a few days.

Therefore, if it is too far away, it is more cost-effective to sell it directly to the fresh harvest ship, unless it is not far from the shore.

Usually, the more expensive ones are deliberately kept, and when the boat is near the shore, they can be sold together on the shore to maximize the value.

Ye Yaodong looked through the list and knew it based on what his father had discussed with him about the sales situation during dinner.

The other orders were all for diesel and ice. They had plenty of fresh water and rice on board, so there was no need to buy anything extra.

I came back from this trip because the rice, food and fresh water on the boat were almost exhausted, and I had been out for almost 5 days, so I planned to come back, take a rest, and replace others.

"You really miss it!"
