When the first fish came on board in the afternoon, the ball was mixed with some leftovers from the belly of the fish, and of course only the good tender ball would open its mouth to eat. [Maybe I feel that the temper of the owner is a little bad now, and after eating the ball, I honestly went into the water to explore the fish.

"When will the design of the shipyard come out, everyone is very curious" Matt and Qi Yiming asked Bei Hai after putting the fish in the storage compartment.

"I'll talk to them when I go back this time!" Bei Hai said.

The fishing boats of Bei Hai have been handed over to a nearby shipyard. If Bei Hai thinks of a fishing boat, the design is not too complicated. Draw a picture like this, and then look at it, everyone goes directly to the small dock and directly builds it. However, these old American boat berthing designers, including the shipyard, don't do anything at all, and they have to do anything redesigned. If you don't design the research, you won't be able to make it.

The reason for refusing to build it was for fear of taking responsibility, and the people in the shipyard said to Bei Hai that if the ship went to sea in the future, if it caused death or something because of the design, the money collected from you would not be enough to compensate. I thought that people were trying to cheat themselves out of what extra design fees, but after asking for a while, I knew that this is also people doing things according to the rules. Besides, even if Bei Hai wants to change shipyards, others will not take the risk to build it, Bei Hai's requirements have exceeded the requirements of ordinary fishing boats, and ordinary small shipyards can't build this.

In the end, there is no way, although it is more than **10,000 additional design costs, but to get a more seaworthy good ship, Bei Hai can only pinch his nose and admit it.

"What is the final price range?" Qi Yiming asked.

"I don't know, I'll find out when I meet with the shipyard's designers this time," Bei Hai met with the manager last time, and just talked about his own requirements. There is also a range that is as large as the price you can accept. One of the people sent this time was a very professional -- a berthing designer.

Thinking of this, Bei Hai said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult for me to buy a boat!" ”。

Matt smiled and said, "If you buy a ready-made fishing boat, it's very simple, and you can receive a new boat in two months at most." But you're asking for too much, and it's a fishing boat that's more than 30 meters long. Twenty knots to run! ”。

Speaking of this, Matt shook his head in his heart every time, this speed really can't be regarded as a fishing boat, it is twice as fast as the current Ripple, and the best fishing boat now is only fourteen or fifteen knots, usually the economic speed is between 10 and 12 knots, and if it is too high, the fuel will soar.

Now that the captain is asking his fishing boat to run at a normal speed of twenty knots, the man has not to redesign it, as far as Matt, who does not design the boat, knows. In the past, it was impossible for the hull of a fishing boat to adapt to such a high speed. For such a fish boat, Matt has always been a little opposed in his heart, of course, Matt will not say anything, because Bei Hai is the captain, he is only the first mate, and it is his duty to take care of things on the deck.

"Let's take a long-term view!" Bei Hai looked at Matt and smiled.

After speaking, Bei Hai asked Qi Yiming again: "When the fishing season is over, are you going to buy a small house, or what do you say?" ”。

Qi Yiming's money will be at least seventy or eighty thousand by the end of the fishing season, and with this income, he has no problem buying his own house.

Qi Yiming said with a smile: "Forget it, save the money first and keep it for me to go to school later." I guess it's a year or two."

This shows Qi Yiming's confidence in the exam, and it is no wonder that he has crawled out of the exam pile since he was a child and is the best among them, Qi Yiming is not too afraid of this thing.

"Hey, it looks like I'm going to have to find someone again next year!" Matt sighed as if he were playful. Then he looked at Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming said happily: "Don't worry, even if I am admitted next year, I will not go next year." If there is a tuition fee, where will it come from? It adds up to $50,000 or $60,000 a year. If I don't fish from Beihai, where else can I fish. I can't just let go of such a fast-paying job. At least another two years! ”。

"Not bad! We can hire again in two years," Behaile said to Matt, "We'll save you a lot of trouble."

"It's very convenient," Matt said cheerfully.

The three of them chatted like this, and Bei Hai and Matt chatted professionally. Qi Yiming threw bait into the sea while chatting, and after chatting for ten minutes, another fish was hooked.

At the end of the day, the Ripple was once again full.

"Get it down, and we're ready to sail back to port." You can't go back with it" Bei Hai just wanted to announce that he had anchored and returned to Hong Kong, but the ball took advantage of the night to climb into the boat from the sea again, and Ren Beihai didn't go down no matter how he said about it, he just leaned next to the tuna that was cut off, sticking his head out and pretending to be dead.

At first glance, Bei Hai didn't need to read that expression attentively, and even Matt and Qi Yiming understood that the ball was ready to stay on the boat.

"Take it with you, no one in the harbor will hurt it anyway," Matt said to Bei Hai.

It's not that I'm afraid that others will hurt it, but I'm afraid that the ball will hurt others, look at his big teeth, what if he bites someone! Although the United States is very concerned about animal protection, it has nothing to say about animals that hurt people, that is, animals that have eaten or bitten people, just kill them! For example, what is the man-eating leopard, that is, a man-eating jaguar, although it is protected, it is finally killed.

Bei Hai doesn't want the ball to go to the dock, this is risking the life of the ball! I just want to let it go into the water, and after a while, when Matt and Qi Yiming fall asleep, they will go directly to the space.

But this thing can't go down to life or death, and Bei Hai can't do anything, so he can't go over and push it. And in front of Qi Yiming and Matt, Bei Hai is not easy to get angry. If they do, the two of them will probably think that they are mentally ill, and perhaps Matt will think that he is cruel to animals.

This reputation is not a joke, it doesn't mean that others will be over after two laughs, and if you don't get it, you will go to jail. Even if you don't go to jail, your reputation will be rotten. Bei Hai didn't want to cause this trouble, so he could only let Matt and Qi Yiming find a way. But obviously, Matt and Qi Yiming's favorability for the new guest who came to the ship - Pi Qiu, is about to burst!

Hearing Matt say this, Bei Hai had no choice, and looked at the ball for a while before sighing. In his mind, Bei Hai had already said to the ball several times, telling it not to run around and cause trouble when it got to the dock. If you don't, you will let it stay in the space for the rest of your life and never let it out again.

After receiving positive information from the ball, Bei Hai turned around and returned to the wheelhouse, and the Ripple ended its three-day journey at sea and returned to port again.

With new guests, Matt and Qi Yiming were not interested in sleeping at all, and played directly with the ball. The two of them are almost ninety years old, and they are still shaking hands with the ball like a child, and nodding their heads! Bei Hai, who was watching, knew what to say, and finally let Matt and the two take turns to drive the boat, and went to sleep in the cabin by himself.

By the time Bei Hai was woken up, the Ripple had already reached the entrance of the port.

"Hello! Hull!".

Hearing someone greet him, Bei Hai also smiled and nodded back: "It's so early, Michael." Michael is the captain of an offshore longline fishing vessel, which is not very large, only 80 feet long, that is, about 24 meters, and the hull is made of fiberglass, which is not suitable for working in the open sea, and usually only stays inshore.

"Why is there a seal on the ship," said Michael happily as he finished greeting Bey as Michael saw the ball on the deck of the Ripple, which was now learning the way Michael greeted and waving at the left front herring.

“ok!ok!hello!” Michael looked at the cuteness of the ball and couldn't help but wave his hand at the ball and say hello, and now the ball 'hand' swinged faster.

Waiting for the Ripple to stop at the berth, Benny naturally waited the old way. Bei Hai said that he picked up fish on the dock! This is what Benny has wanted to hear the most in the past few months, even more than hearing his wife say I love you!

"Why did you bring a seal back!" Benny, like all the captains he met on the way, glanced at the ball and then turned his gaze to the fish on the deck, looked at the bulging shape of the tarpaulin, and said, "There are no big fish this time!" ”。

"Now it's almost seven hundred pounds, it's not a big fish," Matt said with a smile to Qi Yiming beside him.

This sentence was heard by Benny's ears: "Others count, how can it be counted on the Ripple!" ”。 After saying that, Benny was about to jump from the dock to the boat as usual, but when Benny saw the true face of the ball less than two meters away from him, he immediately turned around and ran to the dock.

"Fack! Fack! As he climbed up to the pier, he shouted, "How did you come across it!" ”。 This one obviously refers to the ball.

Does anyone else recognize the ball? Bei Hai seemed to understand a little bit when he looked at Benny's appearance.

"Isn't it just a seal, how fast do you run! I didn't expect Benny to be so timid," Matt teased as he looked at Benny as he climbed up the dock.

Qi Yiming also said: "Benny, don't worry, it's very honest and very smart!" After speaking, he reached out and touched the head of the ball, showing a picture to prove his words.

Benny, who had already been on the dock, looked at the ball with two big eyes squinting and seemed to enjoy Qi Yiming's touch, and said: "You are very bold, but I really dare not try, it is wild!" ”。

"You know what it's called?" Bei Hai asked Benny.

Benny nodded: "Of course I know what it's called, not only what it's called, but I also know how powerful it is!" ”。

"How good can a seal be?" It's not just Bei Hai, but even Matt is a little puzzled. (To be continued.)
