Chapter 1265 Fleet (monthly ticket +2)
Ye Yaodong ignored his father, walked to the stool next to him and sat down with his feet up. Hearing the sound of cooking in the room, the food was not ready yet, so he could only sit outside to enjoy the coolness while waiting for the meal.
Father Ye jumped on one foot to pick up his shoes and put them on, and asked: "Why are we going to the shipyard to see? Didn't I say a few days ago that there are no ready-made machine parts? We have to order them, and we can't start work. I just went there two days ago.
, it’s useless to go now.”
"Have you ever heard that there are people in the DPRK who can do things easily? I met a sister while drinking the day before yesterday. She helped me go through the back door and jumped in. The existing spare parts and machines will be arranged for my boat first, and they may not be needed by then.
Waiting too long.”
"Who is she? Don't mess around. She must not be a good woman to go out drinking with you guys. I only have one daughter-in-law, no, three daughters-in-law. I don't recognize any more."
"Where are you thinking? She is the sister of a friend of the layman, and I took her along to play with her. She came back from studying abroad, and she is more open-minded. There is nothing wrong with drinking with men."
"That's not possible. We have to go back. You can't imitate others and make a home here."
"No, where did I want to go? I just happened to meet her at the factory. She helped me tell her father and put it on the agenda. What have you been thinking about all day? Could it be that you want to find a home by yourself?
Bar?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his father suspiciously.
There are indeed ship owners in their forties or fifties who are marrying widows and having children here again.
Moreover, Uncle Pei gave birth to another son two months ago, and he was very proud of his birth, which made them, a large group of middle-aged and elderly men, very envious.
Father Ye kicked him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I still want to face you."
"That's good. If you have an idea, I'll leave it here for you. I'll go back and tell my mother."
"I'll break your legs..."
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat..."
Someone in the room shouted for dinner, so the father and son broke off the topic.
Ye Yaodong successfully raked the food and immediately stood up to eat.
A light rain started to fall in the night, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
An autumn rain and a cold.
Everyone was wearing vests one day and had to wear long sleeves the next day.
As soon as the autumnal equinox passes, the temperature will drop on this day, especially after it rains.
When it rained for three consecutive days, the body temperature dropped by 10 degrees. The key was that the old house still leaked air and water, so everyone could only pray for the weather to clear up as soon as possible.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but praise his wise move. After this typhoon passes, people who want to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts will probably have to queue up and wait for the price increase.
Other villagers in their village just made reservations on the first day after the typhoon returned to Hong Kong, so they shouldn't have to wait too long.
Early in the morning, when everyone got up and gathered together to have breakfast, they were all still shivering.
"Fortunately, everyone still has Qiu Yi, otherwise they would have been cold to death..."
"This means the temperature has dropped, and it's only the end of September and not yet October."
"The main reason is the typhoon, which is windy and rainy. The autumn rains and cold weather have accelerated the temperature drop. I haven't even worn long sleeves yet."
"Let's just wait and see. After the typhoon, the sun comes out and the temperature heats up again. This is an abnormal weather."
Ye Yaodong always wears long sleeves and long pants unless he is not working, so he is not cold at all.
"I've already made a reservation for winter cotton-padded clothes for all of you. I can't tailor them for everyone. Everyone's sizes are pretty much the same anyway. It doesn't matter if you wear them looser in winter. I'll pay for this.
Everyone will receive two sets as a gift."
"I've also reserved a quilt, but the sweaters are still some kind of base layer. If you need anything, just get it yourself. Go buy some wool as soon as the weather gets cooler, and ask the old lady of the landlady or a nearby woman to pack some sweaters for you."
"Be prepared in advance so that when the weather gets cold, you will have clothes to wear so you won't freeze."
"If you don't have any money on hand, you can ask me to make an advance and save some money. It's just the New Year when I go home. I will definitely save a sum to take back to have a good year."
Everyone nodded.
Once the typhoon passed and it was October, and the weather cleared up, everyone took advantage of the storm to go shopping and buy whatever fabrics and wool they needed.
As soon as it cleared up, the weather warmed up again, but no matter how hard it rebounded, it couldn't rebound before the typhoon. After all, it was autumn.
And when we go to sea, everyone also wears long sleeves honestly, no longer just shirtless or wearing a vest.
It was a cold day, especially as the sea was very windy and rough, which made my body feel even worse.
The rebound in temperature did not last for a few days. It was sunny for two days and then it rained and cooled down again. Fortunately, the afterglow of the typhoon has passed and the wind and waves have become smaller.
Ye Yaodong and the others waited until the weather cleared completely before going out to sea. In fact, the light rain did not affect their fishing trip.
But now the fishing boats have limited facilities. For safety reasons, if it rains, everyone waits for sunny days before going out to sea.
After all, no one knows when the rain will stop, or when the wind and waves will become stronger, lest the gain outweighs the loss.
If it is raining lightly at sea and the wind and waves are bearable, then we will definitely not rush back and we will definitely be operating as usual.
The situation is different.
After the temperature dropped, the number of hairtail they caught at sea also increased significantly. In contrast, the number of other fish species also decreased. For example, squid and other fish were not available in autumn and winter, and they all went to the deep sea to spend the winter again.
Just when they had just collected the net, Ye Yaodong stood on the helm and looked down. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of many ships in the distance on the sea, which seemed to be speeding towards them.
He quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the sea in the distance.
There are blue fishing boats one by one, with red flags flying on them. They look like there are dozens or twenty of them.
Just when he was wondering if these fishing boats were in a group, he saw the fishing boats heading towards them, and slowly slowing down as they approached.
"Boss, do you want to lower the net?" The people below saw that he didn't move, so they raised their heads and called him, and after speaking, they also looked in the direction he was looking.
"Wait a moment, you sort first."
Ye Yaodong took a telescope and looked for a while, then he saw a fishing boat approaching the Harvest directly ahead and waving its flag.
However, the Harvest seemed to be at work and kept moving in a circular motion without paying any attention to it.
The boat came towards them again, probably watching his fishing boat stop motionless on the sea.
Ye Yaodong walked to the deck and watched with vigilance. He didn't lower the net because he was worried that so many fishing boats would slow down and come towards them. He wanted to wait and see first, just in case.
However, they really didn't expect that the boat came directly to them, and the dozen or so boats behind them also followed behind.
He always feels that this plot is a bit familiar?
Why does it seem like a large group of fishing boats followed them on the way here, and they are the same group of people?
After sailing to a certain distance, the ships stopped on the sea, and he temporarily let go of his vigilance.
If this person was robbed at sea, they would usually rush over directly and not stop at an appropriate distance.
The same thing happened when they asked for directions on the way here. They hit a wall along the way. They were really kind-hearted, and they spent a long time communicating with each other before someone showed them the way.
He wondered if these people were also asking for directions. Thinking about his own experience, he became more tolerant.
At this time, I heard someone on the opposite deck holding a loudspeaker, "Comrade opposite...Comrade opposite...ask for directions, ask for directions..."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and then shouted with the loudspeaker, "Don't come over, use VHF to communicate... channel XXX..."
After he shouted, he shouted again to ensure that the other party heard him, and then climbed up to the helm again.
The other party's boat seemed to be about 30 meters long, and the ones following it were basically 20 to 30 meters tall, some more than 30 meters long. This kind of boat must have a very high frequency.
Maritime radios, also known as VHF radios, allow nearby fishing vessels to communicate and provide short-distance communication services.
This kind of radio equipment is widely used for communication between ships, communication between ships and shore stations, and sending distress signals in emergencies.
Within VHF channels, there are specific channels that are reserved for specific purposes.
For example: Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) is commonly used as an international distress and safety communications channel
Other channels may be used for general ship-to-ship communications or ship-to-coast communications.
When two fishing vessels want to talk to each other, they can select a non-dedicated channel and ensure both parties are tuned to the same channel, so they can communicate directly via VHF radio equipment.
The effective communication range of VHF radio depends on factors such as antenna height, transmit power and atmospheric conditions. Generally, its effective range is about 20 to 60 nautical miles in the open sea.
It should be noted that the use of VHF radios needs to comply with relevant international and local regulations, such as not interfering with other important communications, including but not limited to emergency calls.
Ye Yaodong and his four ships are connected to a non-dedicated channel.
The other party has such a big ship and there are so many of them. He doesn't dare to let people get close to him, and he will be worried. It would be good if he is willing to ask them to connect on the same channel and answer their questions.
The other party also understood, and soon they all connected to the new channel at the same time.
"Comrade, hello, hello, excuse me, are we approaching Shenjiamen Fishing Port soon?"
"Yes, according to the sailing speed of your fishing boat, if you have to take care of the fishing boats behind you, you should be able to get there in about three hours. If it is just your fishing boat, it will take more than two hours."
"Thank you. This fishing net of yours is a bit strange. What is it for?"
"There are hairtail fish and other fish products coming in as well." Ye Yaodong also asked curiously, "Are the fishing boats behind you also with you? The fleet?"
"Yes, we are a fishing boat from Wenzhou City, specially here to catch shrimps in winter."
"Shopee! That's right. It's also the flood season in the fishery here in Shopee in winter. Is this your first time here?"
"Most of them are the first time, and they are brought by relatives and friends. Thank you, then we will go to the port first."
"Hey, wait a minute, leave me your contact information. If you need to pick up the fresh boat, you can contact me."
"Fresh harvest ship?"
"right."
The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "We don't know where we will end up yet, so just remember this channel for now and look for another opportunity in a few days."
"good."
This is considered relatively safe.
Ye Yaodong also heard their accent. They were indeed from Wenshi. He had stayed there for several years and could recognize it.
And in my last life, there were really many fleets coming to this fishery to catch shrimps.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that what he said was true and not false.
These teams act as if they had just arrived in Zhou City two months ago.
