Ye Yaodong unusually let them hold the camera and take a photo of him and the two moon fish, and then continued to hold the knife and bleed the two fish one after another.
"Brother Dong, let me do this rough work..."
"I'll come, I'll come..."
"I'm good at knife skills, I'm good at it..."
He laughed and scolded: "I have never seen you so active at work. As I go, there are a lot of goods over there waiting for you to sort, and you are still fighting over them. Let me tell you, if anyone is lazy and does not cooperate with the work,
I just know that if I cheat, I will change someone when I get back."
"Ah, I'm not lazy, I just want to help. Isn't this fish rare..."
"Let's do it now..."
Everyone hurriedly went to work.
Now that they can work for Ye Yaodong, it is an honorable thing to tell people about it, and they also gain face in the village.
I don’t want to just follow him out, only to be rejected when he comes back. That would be so shameless.
Ye Yaodong only knocked a little, so that they would not think that they had been invited on board, so they could sit back and relax.
These two fish were too big, more than one meter long and nearly one meter wide, so they were not that easy to kill.
By the time he finished processing the two fish, the workers were already placing the fourth package.
Some people were busy hoisting and releasing fishing nets back and forth, while others stood by the fish bin cover, sorting various types of fish.
About 20,000 kilograms of goods had already been hoisted up, and while they were still hanging there, he walked to the fish bin cover and took a look at the terrifying amount. They were all piled up like a hill.
Ye Yaodong just wanted to say something awesome, without so many workers, how long will it be busy?
The workers were also picking and talking there, "There are a lot of hairtail fish..."
"This oil strip is okay, but it's not as thick as the one in Buzhou City, and it's not as thick as the one above..."
"There are too many small fish..."
"It's a pity, these baskets are just for emptying..."
"It would be great if I could all sell it for money..."
"You can use it to make fish sauce, but it's too far away to take it home..."
Ye Yaodong thought the same in his heart. It would be a pity to pick out most of them and throw them back into the sea. Otherwise, how much would the harvest be?
Anyway, they can be sold for money in the future, but they are not valuable now, and there are so many of them. After picking them up, they have to put them back, which is too wasteful.
Due to pressure, many fish die when they come out of the water, or are crushed to death by the weight of several kilograms.
Except for some more tenacious shrimps, mushrooms, crabs or eels, these can still be seen moving and crawling around on the table. If thrown back into the sea, they can survive and continue to grow.
The rest can only be fed to big fish and used as nutrients when thrown back into the sea.
If there is a small offshore network, there will be less goods coming from the network, so it may still be able to survive.
Seeing another package being hoisted up, Ye Yaodong confirmed that it was the fifth package, and then he went to pack the food with satisfaction.
It was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the net was collected, and the meal had been cooked long ago. He packed a portion first, then told them to take turns to eat, and then went up to the helm.
He couldn't stay in the cockpit for too long. He didn't really believe in the current technology, so he had better watch more. He could just stay up there and watch while eating.
And without the cold wind blowing, the food won't get cold so quickly.
When this package was hoisted up, there was still goods behind it. The last package weighed less than 5,000 kilograms, and it only looked like half of it when it was lifted up.
He also knew at a glance that the back was gone, and all the goods had been collected. It was less than 30,000 kilograms, just shy of it.
Only half of them can be sold for money, maybe less than half. It depends on luck. You won't know until you have picked them all.
Someone in the channel was also asking at this time, it was Zhao Chengzhou.
"Have you closed the net? I closed the first net and released three bags, estimated to be over 20,000 kilograms. However, I caught a large sea turtle and released it back."
Uncle Ding also said: "I haven't collected it yet, why did you collect it so quickly? It feels like there's not a lot of goods. I have to wait a little longer, otherwise it will take a long time to set up a net, so we can't waste it..."
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and didn't say much, "I'm about the same. I've already collected about 20,000 kilograms, and half of it has to be dumped back into the sea. It's such a waste..."
"Oh, no one can say otherwise. There are a bunch of groceries that cannot be sold for any money, and more than half of them are worthless. There are only a lot of them. If you put them together, you can still sell some."
"Yeah, it's such a waste... Whenever someone wants these goods, that would be great, and we can make more money..."
"Don't think about it. This net has brought in so much. If you can sell it for tens of thousands of catties, how much will it cost? If you can catch hundreds of thousands of catties in a day, what's the cost?"
Ye Yaodong continued to listen to the two of them.
Only when there is a market can there be a price.
Now the roads are not good, there is no cold chain, and the transportation is so poor. Although the country has a large population and a large demand, it can only be consumed along the coast, and of course only a part can be sold at a high price.
When transportation conditions improve, the demand will naturally be greater, consumption will be faster, things will naturally increase in price, and even worthless goods can be sold at higher prices.
Zhao Chengzhou said again: "Ah Dong, you don't need to harvest so early next time. You can drag it in the sea for a few more hours. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time just to lift the net back and forth..."
"Okay, remember."
He didn't explain much that his equipment was more advanced and he could receive the goods depending on the situation. Anyway, he accepted the kindness of others.
Silently listening to the two people's chat, Ye Yaodong stared back and forth between the screen and the sea.
All the cargo has been collected, and the workers are slowly collecting the fishing nets. After collecting them, they move them to the slipway at the stern of the ship and slowly start releasing them into the sea again.
Although this job is simple, it is also laborious. This fishing net several hundred meters long is not light.
Ye Yaodong also cooperated with the net.
It took more than an hour from collecting the nets to lowering the nets again. It will take about two hours to wait for all the fishing nets to be lowered into the water before starting a new round of operations.
Zhao Chengzhou's persuasion to him just now was not without purpose, it was also for his own good.
It takes a lot of time to collect each net. If there is not enough cargo in the fishing net, it is not worth it for them to collect it.
I would rather drag the net in the water for a while longer, so that there are more cargo nets inside, instead of constantly collecting the nets there frequently, and there is not much cargo.
When he started the second round of work, he heard Uncle Ding on the channel saying that he was going to start the net.
Ye Yaodong searched the sea and didn't know which of the two fist-sized fishing boats in the distance was. Anyway, he couldn't tell whether they were catching fish.
He continued to pay attention to his ship, looking at the green dots and yellow dots on the display screen, as well as the density of the gathering, and changed directions appropriately. He also paid attention to the two ships, keeping a distance to avoid getting too far away.
.
The two old men chatted for a few words and then became quiet.
The three boats worked separately, and the general direction was still towards the chart they provided before, and they continued to move forward while working.
After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he also paid some attention to the workers below sorting fish.
The bigger the ship, the more comfortable it is. Workers now only need to stand and sort around the table of the fish bin cover. They do not have to scatter the goods directly on the deck for picking like before when there was not enough space.
More than a dozen people are working there. These people were all selected from the group that worked for him in Zhoushi before. They are experienced and efficient.
He thought to himself that if he went to Zhoushi in the second half of the year, he would have to prepare the workers of the other five boats and bring them with him...
Damn it...
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Four replicas of the Dongsheng number are arranged for 24 people, and another 44-meter fresh-collecting boat must be arranged for ten people. After all, there is no need to lower the net, and fewer people are needed. In total, 34 more people need to be brought up in one go!
Adding in the 15 people on this boat, the 8 on the family's 30-meter-plus fresh harvesting boat, and the 6 on the Dongsheng, he would have to bring a total of 63 workers aboard, plus two or three more to cook at home or look after the door.
of……
We have to open 6 tables every day to eat, just like eating...
Damn it...he has to call the factory from time to time to confirm the progress.
It's best to have a ship deliver it to him when he goes up. Otherwise, if he brings so many people up, he will have to live without working. How much expense will it cost?
Not to mention the salary, just eating and drinking would cost him his life. They were all young and middle-aged people, and their big appetites were scary, so he had to feed them.
You still have to be diligent and keep an eye on it. If you can go up, you have to go up and take a look.
It would be best to deal with the purchased land and arrange for it to be built, so that when he brings a large group of people there in the second half of the year, he will have a ready place to live.
But two workers had to be arranged to go up and supervise, and he also asked Jin Laixi, whom he met from above, to take a look.
Before leaving, the land from the Chamber of Commerce has been approved and the funds have been prepared. It is estimated that construction has started now. Let's go up and have a look. By the way, we can also contact Jin Laixi to get in touch and ask someone to help take a look. There is also a layman who weighs as well.
Assure.
The thought of hiring so many workers made him feel a little sad. It would be troublesome to manage so many people, and he would have to hire one person to manage them.
Then the workers on the current ship and the Dongsheng will have to be dispersed and put on the new ship when the time comes, so that they can take care of the new ones instead of having to be taught by him.
Think about it, it was quite troublesome to have more than 20 people before. When there are three times as many people, food and accommodation will be a hassle. Alas... But there is nothing we can do, who allows him to have more ships.
If he can make money in the second half of this year, he will definitely continue to make reservations. At most, after technological breakthroughs in a few years, he will upgrade some machines. These technological things themselves are already built in the second half of the ship, and then installed.
.
While thinking about his plan, he moved forward. When he saw that the distance between the two ships was getting farther, he tried to get closer to them as much as possible.
If there are no fish on the display, you can only look around slowly.
As night slowly falls and the first day is about to pass, the lights on the three boats have been turned on in advance, echoing each other on the sea. Looking from a distance, each of them feels a little more secure.
The wind became stronger at night, and the workers on the deck below continued to sort, but it seemed that there were not so many people, and they were probably taking turns to eat.
After the net was collected, he had to go down and take a look, and arrange a night shift for them.
Ye Yaodong also thought about dragging the net for a while longer and then setting it up again when it reached the destination sea area.
If they went all out, it would only take about five or six hours to get there, but now they started to lower the net halfway and dragged it to the target sea area, which took a little longer.
And in the middle of the journey, he couldn't just look at the display and find a place with many fish to run to. He also had to pay attention to the other two boats and not get too far away.
So he wasn't that satisfied when he looked at the number of fish encountered on the display screen along the way.
As he slowly moved forward while working, he estimated that he would be able to close the net around 9 o'clock in the evening, and he could still move forward when it was done.
After collecting all the goods, it will take another two hours to get off the Internet again, and we should be almost there.
The sea area is less than 100 nautical miles from the harbor, and their current speed is only 2 to 4 knots.
There’s no need to worry anyway, it just came out today, and it’s almost enough to be able to set up two networks in one day.
Most fish are more active at night, so he thought that if he kept the net longer, he would definitely receive more fish than during the day.
Chapter completed!
