Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea
Chapter 53 Chartering a boat
When Chen Zhiyao came back, her face was full of unhappiness.
Chen Weiqiang, who was assembling fishing rods in the yard, saw this and patted her shoulder in a mean way:
"What's wrong? Why do you look so heartbroken? Tell me and make me, your dad, happy."
Grandpa Chen, who was sorting out fishing gear nearby, glared at his son with a look of disgust on his face.
"Get lost, how can you be a father like this?"
Then he turned around and looked at his granddaughter lovingly, "Tangtang, what's the matter? Didn't you go to put out the trap? Why are you back so soon?"
Speaking of the trap, Chen Zhiyao became angry and talked about what had just happened with a pout.
Only then did Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen remember that when they went fishing at the rocky beach last night, they seemed to have seen several traps there.
But at that time, the father and son were only thinking about fishing and didn't think much about it.
The father and son came back empty-handed again that night, and were so angry that they completely forgot about the matter.
If their spouse/wife knew that they knew about the incident and didn't report it, they would definitely be scolded again.
The father and son both looked guilty, and after looking at each other tacitly, they kept the matter to themselves.
Hearing the three people chatting outside, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting also came out one after another.
Chen Zhiyao looked sad and sighed:
"I put the trap at the junction of the white sand beach and the reef beach. I'll see the effect tomorrow. If not, I'll have to find a new place."
Grandma Chen thought about it and suddenly said softly, "Actually, the best place to put the trap is in the mangrove forest."
Chen Zhiyao looked puzzled and asked quickly, "Mangroves? But there are no mangroves in our village?"
She grew up in the village and had never heard of mangroves in the village.
Grandpa Chen suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "There are no mangroves in the village, but there are some on the nearby Seagull Island. There is a large mangrove forest there."
"In recent years, many young people from several nearby villages have left the area, and fewer people are going there. I heard that there are a lot of blue crabs and orchid crabs now, and they are all very fat."
Speaking of Seagull Island, Chen Zhiyao also remembered where it was.
This is the largest island nearby, more than 20 kilometers away from the village. It takes about half an hour to get there by boat.
Chen Zhiyao was originally very happy, but when she thought that their fishing boat had already been sold, she became dejected again.
“But there is no fishing boat at home.”
At this time, the well-informed Yan Shuting came in handy and said cheerfully:
"You can rent a boat. There are several families in the village whose fishing boats are idle. I heard from Sister Hehua a few days ago that their small fishing boat is for rent."
At this moment, Grandma Chen also became interested and said with a smile:
"Hehua's family. I remember they had two boats. The big one was more than 20 meters long, and they also had an old fiberglass fishing boat that seemed quite small, about 7 or 8 meters long."
Grandpa Chen looked at his granddaughter with a smile on his face. "Seagull Island isn't far away. Seven or eight meters is enough."
"Besides, Tangtang has been lucky lately. She went out to sea to an uninhabited island to fish. I think she will have a good catch."
Chen Zhiyao has been back for less than half a month and she has already earned tens of thousands of yuan by fishing. Grandpa Chen has full confidence in her.
Moreover, the old man has his own little ideas. He wants to go fishing at sea with his granddaughter.
His granddaughter is lucky, maybe he can get some luck too.
Last time we went fishing at the breakwater, we had a pretty good catch.
Grandma Chen saw through the old man's little thoughts at a glance, but she was too lazy to expose him.
Chen Zhiyao thought that the village was so small and the nearby marine resources had long been plundered.
Even if she had X-ray glasses, there was nothing she could do if there was nothing on the beach.
Instead of fighting over this small piece of land, it would be better to rent a small boat and go fishing on the islands outside.
Thinking of what she had gained from yesterday’s trip to the sea, Chen Zhiyao immediately became excited. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible.
Seeing that his daughter was interested, Chen Weiqiang thought about it seriously and felt that it would be a good idea to make a small boat for the grandfather and grandson to play with.
Besides, he hadn't been out fishing for a long time, and he really wanted to catch a 28-pound sea bass.
"How much is the rent?" Chen Weiqiang, who is good at doing business, asked the key question right away.
Yan Shuting thought about it and said, "I heard her say it's 180 a day, and 4500 a month. But I haven't heard it's been rented out in a few days, so I guess we can still negotiate the price."
Then he added with a smile, "This boat is not big. I think it can be taken for 150 a day or 4000 a month."
Chen Zhiyao held Yan Shuting's arm affectionately, smiling cutely:
"Mom, can you talk to Aunt Hehua for me? I want to rent their boat for a month first."
When it comes to bargaining, it’s up to my mom to step in.
"Okay, I'll take you there after dinner."
Due to Chen Zhiyao's recent outstanding performance, her family members all agreed with her idea of renting a boat to go out to sea.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang were even more enthusiastic and happy than him.
After deciding to rent a boat, Chen Zhiyao ran into the kitchen excitedly.
"Eat, eat. If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking."
Looking at the little girl's cheerful back, the people behind her all raised their mouth corners and showed the same smile.
After dinner, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to pull her mother out.
"Aunt Hehua, Uncle Shen, good evening."
Aunt Hehua’s husband’s surname is Shen, and the couple are a few years older than my parents.
The Shen family had just finished dinner and were sitting in the living room watching TV.
Knowing that Chen Zhiyao wanted to rent their own boat, Aunt Hehua immediately stood up enthusiastically.
"The boat is still there. Although it's not very big, it's well preserved. It was just taken to the shipyard for maintenance in the middle of the year."
As he said that, he took Chen Zhiyao and her daughter to the village pier.
The water level at the village dock is not deep, so larger ships can basically not dock there. In addition, many fishermen have changed their careers in recent years, so the village looks a bit depressed and desolate.
Soon, the three of them came to a boat that had weathered the storm.
Aunt Hehua’s boat is a 7.8-meter fiberglass fishing boat. It has been used for more than 7 years, but it is well maintained and looks about % new.
In addition to the wheelhouse, the boat also has a kitchenette and a lounge.
Although this boat is not big, it is fully equipped.
A live water tank, a small ice tank, a small crane, and a small fish finder.
It is more than enough to wander around the nearby islands.
Although the boat looks old on the outside, everything inside is basically good, and it was taken to the shipyard for maintenance before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the maintenance records. It had undergone several minor repairs in the past few years, but no major accidents had occurred, so the car was well maintained.
After a heated debate with Yan Shuting, Chen Zhiyao finally rented the boat for 4000 yuan a month.
Chen Zhiyao transferred 8000 yuan to Aunt Hehua on the spot, paying one yuan in deposit.
Chen Zhiyao was very excited when she thought that she now owned a fishing boat, even though it was only rented.
On the way back, I was so happy that I jumped up and down. Even after being scolded by my mother, I still smiled.
