Chapter 1334 Battle to pick up leaks(1/3)

The next few days were uneventful.

Everyone has become calmer from being excited and curious at the beginning. They are no longer surprised or surprised. At most, they can just sigh casually.

It's such a big ocean, it's surprising that we didn't get some good goods.

When I discovered that there were sharks, dolphins and other big fish following behind the stern of the boat, I was very calm.

I watched too much, and there was no sense of novelty at the beginning, and I had no extra energy.

Repeating the same work every day is boring, and I don't get enough rest. Even when I feel happy, I feel numb and exhausted.

The biggest expectation now is probably to wait for this month to pass quickly and then determine the day of the month to return.

At the beginning, I only said that I would go to sea and return around the beginning of the month. As for how long I would stay at sea, it was hard to say.

There was a small amount of rain yesterday in the past few days, which did not affect the fishing boats at all. Except for typhoon days when the wind and waves are strong, it is necessary to return. The rest of the time is entirely up to the boss of the boat.

When Ye Yaodong contacted the other two ships to arrive with the fresh-carrying ship, he sold the cheap goods that had been kept fresh for the past few days, and then also replenished the fresh water.

He can't sell them for much, and he won't sell the red squid that's the most plentiful, so he's going to keep it home. The more expensive ones, he's going to freeze them and keep them home to sell.

All the other cheap items are just a little more than the giant squid, and the discounts on the fresh-carrying boats are so severe that they really can’t be sold for much.

If he didn't need to replenish other supplies, he might have to pay for it.

His fishing boat is big and has a lot of storage space. When he set out, he had already prepared a lot of supplies, which can support him for more than half a month.

In fact, you can replenish fresh water later. Everyone lives on a boat and knows how to save water. Some of them have never even washed their faces or brushed their teeth.

However, it looks more secure when it is full. This thing is a necessity of life, the source of life. Everyone is consuming it and everyone can see it. There is no need to despise too much.

There is still plenty of other diesel and ice. If necessary, you can wait for the next harvest ship to replenish some.

Seeing that he was selling only a small amount of goods, the fresh-collecting ship was curious and asked a few questions. Ye Yaodong told the truth that he was returning at the end of the month and would not stay at sea for a long time, and they finally understood.

But incidentally, the two ships that are really needed are nearby.

This time, I sold more than 100,000 kilograms of goods, and I got more than 2,000 yuan in cash, but the 3,000 yuan has not yet arrived.

Ye Yaodong shook off the money in his hand and put it in his pocket, "It's really worthless. I only got so much after working for a week..."

"Haha, Brother Dong, why don't you go check out the freezer?"

"Those who are there should be kept home."

"Those squids weigh about 100,000 kilograms, and they already occupy almost half of the freezer...and there are other more valuable items..."

"It's okay, it can fit, the capacity is enough. After a few more days of fishing, they will call the fresh harvest boat over, and we will sell some more. My boat has a larger capacity than theirs. When we can no longer load it, we will go home.

."

If you really can’t fit it in, you can temporarily refrigerate it or put it outside. If the weather is cold, it won’t go bad if you leave it for a day or two, but you have to return it immediately when you can’t fit it anymore.

It's just that there seem to be a lot of these squids. I drag them home all at once, and I don't know when they will be finished. The workshop is looking for workers.

It looks like I won’t be able to save it anymore, I’ll have to sell some of it, the production is too big...

But the goods that were dumped back into the sea were more than what they caught, such as anchovies, sardines, whitebait, herring, small red shrimp, etc. They were also dumped into the sea in tens of thousands of kilograms, no less than squid, only more than squid.

.

In the 21st century, these big fishing boats will be losing money simply because the price of oil is too high. Just filling up with oil costs three to four hundred thousand. The wages of workers are also high. A month's salary costs more than two hundred thousand. What's more?

There are some fishing boats maintained.

In addition, I was not very lucky. I encountered too few fish schools, and the catch was not enough to cover the expenses. In less than a year, I would lose money and not even have any pants left.

The state also provides subsidies, but when times are bad, we really suffer losses, and the subsidies are not enough to make up for the shortfall.

As soon as the workers heard that it was full, they went home and became energetic.

"It will fill up very quickly. It will definitely be full within a week..."

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile and expectant expressions. Some of them were already counting on their fingers what day it would be in the next week.

"But in one week, the fresh harvest ship will arrive. I can sell another batch of cheap goods, and I have free space. I can still salvage for a few more days."

"Too……"

"Don't think about it, it's just the first few days of the month anyway. Think about it, the workers on the other two ships have to be at sea for more than half a year. It's still winter now, and it will be summer by the time they get back to shore, and they still have to do it because of the typhoon.

Only then can I go back.”

Some older fishermen said with a smile: "Isn't that right? You are still too young. You have only been out for a few days."

"It's time to work and get ready to go offline. Selling goods is taking up so much time. Most of the day has been wasted."

He shouted, and everyone quickly cleared the deck and went about their business.

Ye Yaodong touched the several thousand dollars in his arms and climbed up to the helm. He first took them to his own exclusive lounge to deposit them.

It's actually better for him this way, as he keeps most of his goods to be sold back to the shore, and he doesn't have much cash around him.

Other fishing boats stay at sea for half a year, and they don’t know how much cash they have on board. That means they have many partners, and the people who work on the boat are all shareholders, or brothers, sons and nephews.

It's relatively easy to make money these days as long as you're brave.

After hiding the money, Ye Yaodong returned to the cab. He poured himself a sip of hot tea to warm his body and warmed his hands by the way. Then he picked up the shredded squid placed beside him and chewed it.

He has been chewing it for several days, and his cheeks are sore from chewing it. He didn't dare to eat it yesterday. Now he has an itchy mouth, so he chews a little if he doesn't want to smoke.

In fact, the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you chew, the better it tastes.

The workers each stuffed a handful of them into their pockets, and occasionally put a few in their mouths and chewed them while working, which was also delicious.

At this moment, he didn't dare to eat more for fear of hurting his cheeks.

The workers have almost cleared the deck and are now dragging the fishing nets to the slipway at the stern of the ship.

There is no need for him to do anything. They are already familiar with each other and can cooperate with each other. There is no need to check with him before starting the work like in the first few days.

Now that I see the good goods coming in, I feel very calm and feel numb.

Not to mention them, Ye Yaodong was also numb.

When you are poor, your eyes light up when you see something valuable.

Now that I have seen so many good things, I can no longer make any waves in my heart.

He turned around and looked at the calendar. There was a big number 21, and the small font below said 24. Today was the 8th day out.

It's still too early to go back.

When he turned his eyes to the display screen again, there were a few raindrops on the windshield in front, making a pattering sound.

"It's raining again..."

The workers who were busy on the deck also noticed that it was raining and there were dried fish hanging there to dry. They all quickly collected the dried fish and then returned to the cabin to put on their raincoats.

When Ye Yaodong was in Zhoushi before, he bought a few nylon raincoats and put them on the boat, but they were only placed on the fresh-collecting boat and the Dongsheng.

This boat was just acquired, but it did not have nylon raincoats, and the workers had to provide their own raincoats.

He thought about buying some and putting them on the boat after he returned. After all, it would be more convenient to work in a raincoat, but the raincoat was too bulky.

The rain fell patter-patter, the rhythm became more frequent, the windshield in front was smudged, and the sound of the wind outside became louder.

"The conditions are difficult..."

He drank tea calmly, chewed shredded squid, and sighed.

Even if it rains, we still have to trawl the net. I collected a net this morning because I have to sell goods later. I was afraid of delays, so I didn’t put down the net.

The net was lowered now, and two or three workers were left there to watch the normal dragging of the fishing net and the normal operation of the machine. The others returned to the rest room to rest.

After it started to rain, the sky suddenly became dark. It was obviously around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It was still bright a moment ago, but now it suddenly became dark, as if it had fallen into the night all of a sudden, and the lights on the boat also turned on.

It's just that with his 3 eyes, he seemed to see something swishing past next to him?

When he came to his senses and looked carefully, there was nothing.

Although the sky was getting dark, there was still a little light and it was not as dark as the night. He was sure that he was not dazzled.

"How many? So fast?"

He rubbed his eyes and glanced around, but he didn't see any strange unknown objects nearby.

After watching it for a while, he gave up and turned his attention to the display screen again, guessing what kind of fish was scurrying past.

Otherwise, I would never have imagined what it would be. There are many fast fish on the sea.

Based on the information detected by the sonar, he slowly adjusted the direction of the fishing boat and continued to catch his fish.

The rain gradually became heavier, and the sky became darker little by little. At this time, the workers on the deck screamed.

Ye Yaodong couldn't hear the sound, but he could see them shouting and waving, and then they all lay on the side of the ship and watched.

He also took advantage of the situation and saw the waves splashing continuously on the sea level in the distance, and the waves were rolling violently, forming patches of white foam, which looked much more conspicuous.

"What kind of war is going on..." He muttered as he watched, his attention also distracted a little.

I didn't take it seriously at first, I just thought it was a fight between two fishes.

In this kind of weather, with strong winds and heavy rain, he didn't want to bother with it. Safety came first. Now he didn't miss two fish, he just wanted to watch it as a show.
To be continued...
