For two consecutive days, as soon as it got dark, the workshop was in full swing.
But instead of killing fish and fermenting fish sauce, it’s a campfire snack.
After hearing about it during the day, several of the younger brothers were reluctant to leave. They even stayed back at night to help. They all wanted to continue up the mountain and touch the barrel of the gun.
However, Ye Yaodong and the others had not finished eating the muntjacs, and did not plan to go up the mountain again. It was dark and cold, so they planned to light a fire in the open air in the workshop, roasting and stewing. It would be very comfortable. Anyway, there was still something to eat.
There were just a few more people, and he also bought some more wine, and also added two bowls of different dried fish, which is also a good drink to go with wine.
There was muntjac meat stewed in the pot, and they were warming up over the fire, drinking wine, and chatting. It felt comfortable and leisurely.
When there was nothing to eat on the third night, Ye Yaodong thought about asking Wang Guangliang and the others to secretly catch his goose and kill one secretly.
He had been thinking about stewing a goose in an iron pot for many days. Now that the atmosphere was so good, he couldn't even wait for the Chinese New Year. So while everyone was in such high spirits, he slaughtered one first.
The fat man asked uncertainly: "If you find out tomorrow that a goose is missing, will your wife scratch you?"
"How is that possible? Do you think she is the same as your wife? She feels sorry for me because I am tired. She said a few days ago that she would stew one for me during the Chinese New Year."
"Don't you kill chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year? Isn't it specially for you?"
Ye Yaodong glared at Azheng, "She just said to make up for me, don't distort the facts."
Everyone kept rolling their eyes and looking at the sky.
He looked at Wang Guangliang again and said, "When you catch them, remember to be quieter and don't get bitten by the big geese. Those geese are very capable of fighting."
"Know."
"Let's boil the water first and wait until we catch the goose. I'll lead the way and go home to get some dry vegetables and dig some potatoes."
"Okay, anyway, let's just talk and celebrate in advance that your ship will arrive home tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it was just to celebrate the arrival of the ship, so I killed a goose."
He also straightened his waist and was not afraid of being questioned tomorrow.
But when he took people home to catch geese, he was still sneaky.
The big goose quacked twice, and he looked nervously into the room, only to feel relieved when no one came out.
After watching them catch the goose and run away quickly, he went to the house to dig through dried vegetables, and brought a basket to put them in. Then he took a hoe and went to the ground to dig up potatoes.
Just then, he heard someone calling his name, and he was startled.
This is probably a guilty conscience.
"Dongzi? What are you doing? It was so late at night, I thought it was who it was. I looked at it for a long time. Fortunately, the lights in the main room were not turned off. I could still shine a light to see who it was, otherwise I would be shocked."
Ye Yaodong patted his chest, looked at the dark old man's head protruding from the iron railings of the window, and said angrily: "I was also shocked by you, why are you still looking at the window so late at night when you haven't slept yet?
?”
"I heard a big goose squawk suddenly very loudly, so I got up to take a look. Who knew I heard the sound of digging on the ground again, which made me nervous. What kind of ground were you digging at so late at night?"
There was a treasure buried under the ground, and the old lady wanted to sleep with one eye open. It was strange that she could still sleep when she heard the noise outside.
"No, I'll just peel a few potatoes and you can go to bed."
"Why are you peeling potatoes at night?"
"Let's stew in the pot, and we'll have late-night snacks and drinks in the workshop. You can sleep in peace."
"You keep coming out all the time. How can I still sleep? Why did the goose scream just now? Did you mess with it?"
"Yeah, that's right. When I first came back, I couldn't stand firm and kicked their nest. If you can't sleep, then don't sleep. I'll give you a bowl of midnight snack later."
The old lady chuckled and said, "We have just eaten for a while, but we can still eat it. It's just that you young ones have a good appetite."
"I'm leaving. There are a group of dogs watching over the house. Don't worry, you can sleep on your own. We'll all be there too."
Carrying a basket of small potatoes and dried vegetables, he immediately ran to the workshop again.
Lin Xiuqing also heard the squawking of the goose in the house. However, she was breastfeeding and coaxing her child to sleep. She thought that Adong and his group were in the workshop not far from the door of her house, so she didn't get up to take a look.
Who knows, she didn't know until early the next morning that a goose was missing.
The old lady got up the earliest and was the first to notice that one was missing. After she discovered that one was missing, she looked everywhere at the door and back door, but could not see the shadow. It was not until Ah Qing got up that she told her.
Lin Xiuqing was also shocked, "Why did it suddenly disappear? Was it stolen last night? I suddenly heard the sound of a big goose squawking last night. I was breastfeeding and coaxing the baby to sleep, thinking that A Dong was not far away.
, I didn’t even get up to look.”
"Last night when the goose was croaking, Dongzi happened to be in the yard, and I saw him peeling potatoes..."
Ye Yaodong also got up early. Today he was going to the county to inspect the large ship and test the water, so he got up early as soon as it was light.
He heard these words just as he opened the door, and he coughed uncomfortably.
Lin Xiuqing saw him getting up and asked quickly: "Why did you suddenly peel potatoes last night? The old lady said that the goose was missing one..."
"Ahem... I didn't have anything to drink with last night, so I killed a big goose stewed in an iron pot, got some dry vegetables, and peeled some potatoes to make them more fragrant..."
Lin Xiuqing's face turned dark.
"Then don't you need to tell me in advance? He's so big that he'll kill him as soon as he says it. He originally planned to keep it for the New Year."
"Aren't there quite a few? There are also quite a few chickens and ducks. You can also kill chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year. I also left a small basin for you on the table, which you can use with your rice today."
"Thank you!"
"Hey, you're welcome."
The main reason was that the goose was too big, and a lot of side dishes were added, making it a big pot. They couldn't finish it, so they just had some leftovers, otherwise he would definitely destroy the body and destroy all traces.
The old lady shook her head helplessly, "I guess you caught one last night and killed it to eat. The small pot of meat on the table, I guess it must be goose meat."
"Well, I happen to be sailing today, so last night I treated them as an early celebration and invited them to drink."
"Drink for three days straight."
"Don't you also have a share? I brought you a bowl specially the past two nights, and it made your face rosy."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and said, "Hurry up and wash up and eat. Go to the county town early. Fortunately, it's afternoon when I saw you. You don't have to get up at night and rush there."
"Um."
The old lady followed him and recited, "Let me know in advance whether you want to kill geese or chickens or ducks next time. When I woke up in the morning and saw one missing, I thought there was a thief last night, and I was a little scared.
.”
"knew."
While he was brushing his teeth, everyone came over to wait. He immediately speeded up, washed his face in confusion, and poured the long-cooled porridge into his mouth while eating.
It would be faster to drive the tractor. He had already planned to ask Chen Shi to go with them and bring all the people in the car with them. After they boarded the ship, he would just let Chen Shi drive the tractor back.
As for the people who helped on the boat, it was enough to include A Guang, Xiao A Zheng, his father and second brother. His eldest brother stayed at home to set off firecrackers.
Everyone brought baskets and buckets and chatted while walking towards the workshop.
"Have you thought about the name of your new boat? Have you asked the factory to print it on it?"
"Yes, of course there is. I asked the factory to paint it up a few days ago."
"What's your name?"
"Dongshenghao! It means a slowly rising star in the east, with my name in it, symbolizing that I will slowly rise, rising step by step, shining brighter and brighter. How about it, a good name?"
A Guang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You still know how to choose a name. This name is as nice as my harvest number."
"Of course, I also gave you your name, Pei Shun Pei Shun, everything goes smoothly."
"Hahaha, the names of the two boats are quite good." Father Ye said cheerfully.
A Guang added: "When the time comes, your fish sauce can also be named Dongsheng Fish Sauce or Dongsheng Dried Fish."
"Okay, shops in the city can also have the characters Dongsheng on them. Doesn't your shop also have a signboard?" Father Ye said with a smile on his face.
Having said that, Ye Yaodong also began to think about the signboard above his head. It didn't matter at first. There were not many shops in the market, and all the familiar customers knew the location of his shop.
"It can be called Dongshengji."
Ye Yaodong: "?"
What?
"It's called Dongsheng Wholesale Shop."
"Okay."
"In a few days, let the carpenter make a wooden plaque, engrave the words "Dongsheng Wholesale Department" on it, and then paint it with color. It will be a simple one. It will be more attractive to have a sign."
Father Ye nodded repeatedly, "This is good, this is good."
"You guys get on the tractor first and finish today's business first. I'll go ahead and drive."
Ah Zheng was very itchy when he told them, and after getting in the car, he said: "I heard you talk so enthusiastically, I even want to give my boat a name."
"Hahaha, then you might as well order a big one, similar to Dongzi's."
"When are you going to book a new ship? Just tell me and let me get involved and book it alone. I don't have the ability anymore."
"I don't have the ability to order a new one. I already have a harvest number, which is fine. No one will open it after I order it. I don't have the ability like my father."
"Forget it, my boat is pretty good, and now my neighbors are praising me for my ability." He grinned as he spoke.
"When the Dongzi boat comes back, he will be in great glory again. Everyone in the village is praising him, and he will not stop at least until the Chinese New Year."
Xiaoxiao also patted Ye's father enviously, "My uncle's face is so shiny that he feels windy when he walks. Every once in a while in the village, either Dongzi or Aguang is praised."
"The same goes for you, you are all successful, and your parents will be blessed when they grow old."
Azheng: "When the big ship is launched later, will Dongzi go out to shoot a net like the Harvest, calculate the time, and then come back to set off firecrackers?"
Father Ye: "Yes."
Azheng: "The two giants in Baisha Village!"
A Guang: "Pull him down. My family only has one big boat and two trawlers. They can't compare with Dongzi. He is the biggest tycoon in Baisha Village. His family sells both dried fish and fish sauce."
Ah Zheng: "That makes sense! Let him buy you a drink tonight."
Xiaoxiao: "I think you want him to invite you every day until the Chinese New Year and eat up all his chickens, ducks and geese."
Azheng: "No, Uncle Ye is here watching. How can I be embarrassed?"
Xiaoxiao: "You mean, it's fine as long as Uncle Ye is not here to watch."
Ah Zheng: "I didn't say that, that's what you said. I knew you were very greedy. You had such beautiful thoughts and wanted to eat until the Chinese New Year. I asked A Dong's wife to take a broom to drive you out at night.
"
"It's almost enough to catch you up..."
Father Ye chuckled and ignored the banter between them.
Today was a good day. Ever since he got up early in the morning, the corners of his mouth had not dropped, and his face was glowing red.
He has no great potential, but his son has achieved something. He is more happy that his son has achieved something than he himself has. Now who wouldn't praise him for having given birth to several good sons, and even finding a son-in-law who has achieved something.
A Guang: I'm at home every day, and my father does it for me. It's your in-laws' job.
Ye Yaodong is also looking forward to it, and his heart is filled with excitement. If he gets this boat, he can run further.
However, if I could ever buy a thirty-meter boat like the one I had when I was a boatman in my previous life, it would really be a great time.
It’s better to enjoy the moment first. It’s okay to be like this now. He is already the first person in the village, no, he is the first person in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages.
The tractor kept making a clicking sound all the way, and some scattered passers-by carrying burdens waved to them, hoping to catch a ride. He waved to them all, without taking any passengers.
It was just before eight o'clock when we arrived at the county shipyard.
As soon as his tractor stopped, Director Wu heard the noise and ran out.
"You are finally here. Fortunately, the time has not come yet."
"Let's go into the water between nine and eleven o'clock. It's still early. What's the rush?"
"Doesn't it mean I need to inspect the ship for you? Of course I have to arrive early to inspect the goods. Fortunately, you guys arrived not too late and it's not even eight o'clock yet, so there's still time. Come in and take a look first."
"Is your factory open all year round? There are a lot of people busy every time you come here, and it's the same when you come here late at night." Ye Yaodong asked as he walked beside him.
"We work three shifts. Of course, if there are overtime workers, there will also be subsidies. Moreover, now that the efficiency is good, we will definitely have to work overtime to catch up. The ship you ordered can be delivered in advance in about five or six months, and the rest will be delayed.
Take your time."
"What kind of ship is it?" Father Ye asked curiously.
Ye Yaodong ordered seven boats and made up the number of ten. He didn't tell his father about this, and his father didn't know about it. Only he and A Qing, as well as A Guang and his father knew about it.
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Now let's see if my Dongsheng is still where it is? That's the ship, right?"
He looked over with joy. The boat was twenty-four meters long and was painted with blue paint. The waterline at the bottom was painted with red paint. The two-story cabin above the ship was covered with white paint. It looked particularly refreshing and refreshing.
prestige.
The three characters "Dongsheng Hao" are painted on the hull of the ship. They are painted with white paint and the white characters on a blue background are particularly clear and eye-catching.
Today's fishing boats have not yet been numbered, some policies have not been promulgated, and laws are not perfect. The main reason is that there are few such large boats. The industry has only begun to develop vigorously, and ocean development has just begun. Everyone is a motley crew.
It will be a few years before the policy comes out and is numbered.
"Damn it, your boat is too handsome, isn't it?"
"Looking majestic..."
"Tsk tsk tsk...this boat is so beautiful..."
"The new boat is just different. It looks really new and beautiful. The bottom of our boat is covered with barnacles. It's so dense and scary."
"Stop bragging, isn't this boat exactly the same in appearance as the Harvest? It's just two meters smaller in size, not much different." Ye Yaodong said the unintentional words with a smile on his face, but he actually felt very good about it.
"The Harvest was already last year. We have only seen it once or twice from a distance since it was launched. Where can we see it so close?"
Aguang was speechless as he listened to their flattery. It was clear that a few months ago when fishing for jellyfish, they all went in and out together, and everyone was very close to each other.
Like the new and hate the old.
But such a big new ship is certainly worthy of praise.
Director Wu followed Ye Yaodong with the order in hand, "Have you checked the hull, hull, and cabin machines? Have you brought the order contract with you? Check the items on the order and measure the required quantities."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and took out the order that Ah Qing had prepared for him early in the morning.
As soon as I took it out, there were heads stretching out in front of me.
He tapped it with one finger at a time, "Can you understand? There are so many heads sticking out."
"I can't understand anything else, but I can understand the numbers."
"Go, go, help me check the hull. I'll climb on the boat and check to see if all the promised machines and equipment are in place."
Director Wu also climbed up with him and introduced him to the equipment and machines currently installed on the ship, checking them one by one.
Fishing equipment such as net winches, net reels, power pulleys, net hoisting booms and guide pulleys are also equipped with two engines, both mechanical and manual steering gears, steering wheel driving, 120 horsepower, load capacity of about 35 tons, fresh water
They looked at the water storage tanks and fish warehouses one by one.
This motor boat is still made of wood and iron, not steel yet. The steel one will probably have to wait until the 1990s.
It's just a trawler, it can only trawl, it can't be used as anything else.
If it is used concurrently, it will be equipped with more things. Different types require different equipment, and there are no such equipment in China now.
I also climbed up to the cabin on the second floor to take a look. There were also three bunk beds, but they were crowded and short. Only one person could pass through. And with his height, he couldn't stand up straight, so he could only hunch his body. His father was 160cm tall.
That's just right.
But it's good to have these. At least there is a place to lie down and rest, and you can sail on the sea for a few days.
Now I can only take a rough look at it. After all the necessary equipment is equipped and there is no problem, you can call someone over to help push it down together.
There was still something supporting it under the hull, and several sliding logs were placed there, waiting for him to finish the inspection before proceeding to the next step.
Ye Yaodong also followed Director Wu's explanation and checked one by one. All the equipment was complete and equipped as required, and they were all new.
“Right now I’m just going to briefly explain the equipment so that you have an idea. You can’t see the rest until the boat is put into the water and starts operating. You’ll know after you try out the net.”
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. It's okay. Everything is fine and there's no problem."
"As long as there are no problems, we also do things according to the order requirements. If there are no problems, then I will ask someone to come over and help."
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was ten minutes to nine o'clock, so that was about the same.
"I'll go down and take a look at the hull."
"Okay, there's still some time until the time comes."
They were all groping around under the boat and muttering.
"This red paint doesn't feel very useful. My boat has only been sailing for half a year, and the bottom of the boat is already covered with dense barnacles."
“We can’t eliminate it, we can only reduce it.”
"It just so happened that I had an early break these two days. I asked my dad to shovel the barnacles underneath, otherwise he would still be mumbling that if I don't go to sea, I have to find some work for him. If there is something to do, I won't do it.
Stare at me."
"It makes sense. Our previous one has been running for a whole year, and we just need to shovel it up to save some fuel."
"It would be great if no matter how long it was driven, the bottom of the boat would be clean and it would be like a new boat."
"It's a great idea. If you scrape under the boat, you can also get some oysters for dinner."
"You don't even want to give it to me..."
Ye Yaodong took a photo from behind and said, "Have you checked it for me? If there is no problem, let's go into the water."
"No problem. What problems can there be with the new ship? It's great. Just recommend it."
"The dimensions were measured just now. It's 24 meters from the tip to the stern. I turned it around a lot and found nothing wrong with it. We are amateurs anyway. We'll know after we try it in the water."
"That's it, no problem, just push it into the water."
"Okay, I'll ask a few more people to come over and push it, and you guys can help me. I'll go to the shore later and set off some firecrackers for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you. If you go into the water, will you follow two masters?"
"That's for sure. When the time comes, the master will teach you how to use it on the ship and explain individual functions."
"Okay, then the payment will be signed after the goods are docked?"
"Yes, after all, after testing the waters and catching a net, we will come back to land. Then we will sign and complete the follow-up order. Once the account is settled, you can drive home."
Ye Yaodong nodded happily, "Okay, okay, it's exactly nine o'clock. Let's push it out into the water. The time is just right."
Director Wu called the people around him to call all the strong men in the factory.
Dozens of people helped together. There were several sliding logs placed under the boat. A group of them pushed and rolled the logs, and everyone worked together.
Some of the old masters who were working in the factory also stopped what they were doing and looked at what was going on here.
Shipyards are built along the sea, making it easier to launch them into the water after construction.
It was so early in the morning, everyone was full and strong.
After pushing to the entrance of the factory, there is the sea next to it. The boat is slowly pushed forward. Everyone exerts their strength, their faces are swollen red, and the biceps on their arms are bulging.
"One, two, three...hey..."
As soon as I pushed into the water, the firecrackers beside me started to crackle.
Broken red paper was scattered all over the floor.
"Congratulations, the new ship is launched, everything goes smoothly and good luck!"
"Thank you, and good luck."
"Go up."
"Okay, everyone go up first."
"You go up first, and I'll get the basket and bucket."
Father Ye was smiling from ear to ear the whole time, and he was even happier when he got on the boat.
"After waiting for more than a year, I finally got it. Building such a boat is not easy."
"The main reason is that there is an order lined up in front of me, and everyone has to deliver the goods according to the delivery date, one by one. Otherwise, it would not take so long to build such a ship."
"I didn't expect that the boat I saw at the beginning would end up in your hands."
"I got a big deal for A Guang. It just so happened that Uncle Pei knew someone and took it over directly. I didn't have to wait. It's so cool. I've been waiting for more than a year."
Aguang was also cheerful, "This means that I also have this boat in my life, so I just picked it up without having to wait."
"Several of your boats are ready-made."
"Yes."
Director Wu also said with a smile: "It all depends on luck. If you are lucky, everything that is supposed to come will come. You guys are not bad luck. It seems that you can make a lot of money."
"hey-hey……"
"This boat is quite stable."
"Do you want to take a look again? If not, I will get off the boat and ask the master to take you out to sea to catch a fish."
"No, no, we will just ask the master while we are driving. You can go back and do your work."
"Okay, then I'll go down first and go back to work on my work. I'll wait for you back in the factory."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, not paying attention to him for a long time. He watched the old master go to the cab and followed him in.
You need to check whether the way of sailing now is not much different from that of the future, and you also need to ask the master for advice on the use of the maritime radio station.
Father Ye also squeezed into the cab and asked the master with a smile on his face.
"Is this not much different from the big ship before?"
"It's the same, the core technology is the same."
"Then I will, let me open it first?"
"Alright."
Ye Yaodong watched helplessly as his father took control of the ship one step ahead of him.
His father also turned to him and said, "Just watch more and I will teach you later."
"All right."
Who told you to be my father?
Chapter completed!
