Chapter 042: Stepping on the Point
With the boat, Bei Hai directly thought of going to sea, and after looking at the sky, Bei Hai felt that he was in a hurry in time, so he immediately locked the boat and ran to the fishing club first.
Vio watched Bei Hai come back after a few hours, and asked happily, "Are you going to have a speargun, or do you want something else?" ”。
"I want a lot of things!" Bei Hai smiled and said: "Lua fishing rod drum reel with fishing line, just give me the mid-priced one, the kind commonly used by fishermen!" After thinking about the silver in his pocket for a while, Bei Hai said, "Just match me with three sets of these things mentioned above." I'll pick the rest of the hooks, plumb sinkers, or whatever."
As he spoke, Bei Hai had already seen a row of small accessories on the shelves over there.
As soon as he heard that Bei Hai wanted so many things, the smile on Vio's face became even bigger, and his old face was about to bloom, and he asked Bei Hai happily while gesturing to the guys in the store, "Have you rented a boat?" ”。
"Hmmm! As soon as the negotiation is completed, I will come to you to procure," Bei Hai replied.
"Whose ship?"
"Mel's Ripple".
"That boat is good, why do you have to buy these fishing furniture when you rent that boat? How many sets of rods are not on the Ripple? Vio opened his mouth to ask, and before Bei Hai could answer, he shook his head with a smile: "I forgot that he likes to take advantage of a little advantage!" By the way, what a price to rent".
Hearing Bei Hai talk about the price, Vio smiled and shook his head again, which meant that it was high.
Bei Hai didn't mind this matter, time was equivalent to money for himself now, and looked at the fishhook in his hand: "Anyway, I have to buy these things myself, it's better to buy them later than early."
"Then you need three sets of rods, and a ship like the Ripple has seven sets of rods," Vio said to Bei Hai.
"Let's use it like this for now, and I'll come to you to make up for it when the hand turns," Bei Hai said. Bei Hai also wanted to buy enough seven sets of fishing rods, two sets for spare, and the remaining five sets could just swing to the stern of the Ripple, but he was shy of money.
I chose three sets of hooks, large, medium and small, and this thing Bei Hai heard Diego say, and came with two or three boxes each according to what he said, and then asked for a few boxes of wire, adapter buckles and the like.
"It's $3,600 in total," and after pressing on the calculator, Vio pushed the calculator in front of Bei Hai, and then began to quote the price: "A set of ...... for a fishing rod is $540, a drum reel is $400 for a drum reel, and a fishing line is $100."
Listening to Vio's offer, everyone knows why Bei Hai can't buy enough of seven groups, if he really buys enough, maybe he won't even have the money to buy oil for a while, just a set of live poles will cost 1,000 dollars, and the seven groups will be more than 7,000 and nearly 8,000 dollars, where is the money to refuel the fishing boat.
Swiped the card to pay the bill, Vio also deliberately asked the guy to drive the things to the dock together, it is not convenient for Bei Hai to take these things alone, the rod for fishing tuna is not the kind of telescopic, but fixed length, not to mention the drum reel that is directly faster than twenty centimeters.
I went back to the dock to get the fish in order, drove the boat and spent 1,800 dollars to fill up all the fuel tanks of the fishing boat, and now Bei Hai only had less than 5,000 dollars left in his pocket, and when the crew got on the boat, there was money to add fuel and buy a few hundred dollars of ice, which all cost money.
Watching the young man refueling on the dock give himself a thumbs up, Bei Hai pulled down the bayonet attached to his fuel tank, and waited for someone to put the oil pipe back.
Got to the dock and paid the bill, returned to the Ripple, and immediately turned towards the exit of the port.
In the harbor, large and small fishing boats pop up from time to time, and the speed is not fast at all, and some of the boats are novice rookies who go out to sea to play. Although Bei Hai is also a rookie in terms of time, he is definitely a veteran when it comes to technology. Bei Hai couldn't help but be cautious when he met these people, and slowed down again and again.
When he was about to leave the port, Bei Hai remembered something, and immediately picked up the phone and dialed Mary.
Waiting for the phone to be called, Bei Hai said: "Mary, it will take about four or five days for me to go to sea to get acquainted, if there is any help to find a suitable crew, call me, or wait for me to come back and see him."
When Mary heard that Bei Hai had chartered a boat, she asked, "Whose ship is it and at what price?"
"Ripple, $24,000 a fishing season," Bei Hai replied.
"It's too high," said Mary, "but it's within reason, and it's even more troublesome to rent a bad boat." I know what you said, good luck! ”。
"Thank you, Mary!" Bei Hai said into the phone, and after chatting for a few words, Bei Hai hung up the phone.
When the boat sailed to the iconic white lighthouse of Gloucester Harbour, Behai was immediately happy, because as soon as he stepped out of this lighthouse, he was out of the harbor and the Atlantic Ocean in front of him.
That is, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, and no one cares how fast they drive the boat!
Just as I wanted to raise the speed of the Ripple, before my hand touched the accelerator lever, I heard my mobile phone ring. When I picked up my phone and looked at the number, I didn't know it at all.
"Hey! Who are you looking for? Listening to the phone ringing for almost thirty seconds, Bei Hai answered the phone.
"Bei Hai?".
"I am!" Suddenly hearing that the Chinese Bei Hai was still a little uncomfortable, he was stunned and asked with a little puzzle: "Who are you?" ”。
A beautiful female voice came from the other end of the phone: "You are really a noble person who forgets things, and you can't even hear my voice?" Think again? ”。
Think again? Bei Hai looked at his mobile phone and wondered: Is it a phone scam again? But aren't these people often deceived in China? How to open up the overseas Chinese market now?
"I'm Li Weiwei" Li Weiwei on the other end of the phone waited for almost a minute, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and reported to himself on the phone.
"Oh, it's you" Bei Hai immediately remembered that Li Weiwei was a stupid girl who studied music in Boston: "It's been a long time since I got in touch!" What's the matter? ”。
Li Weiwei didn't know what to say when he listened to it, ordinary men saw themselves plus Yuhuan and Zhao Rong, and rarely didn't come up, even if it was across the Pacific Ocean, he would hang up the phone from time to time and inquire or something. This stupid fat man seems to have forgotten the three of his sisters to the back of his head.
Li Weiwei wanted to be angry, but he was even more curious about Bei Hai. I just accidentally got the news from Carson that Bei Hai went to work as a fisherman, and Li Weiwei, a secret profession, hadn't even heard of it a few times.
What's more, just in Gloucester, not far from Boston, I want to see it right away! Of course, the main thing is not to see Beihai, but to see how the fisherman catches fish and satisfy his curiosity.
"You're all fellow countrymen, you didn't think about calling the three of us when you got to Boston?" Li Weiwei said: "The last time I returned to China and was in Los Angeles, I was thanks to your help, so why should we have a chance to thank you."
"Thanks, forget it, it's all small things," Bei Hai said.
"How can this be counted, I, Li Weiwei, am a person who will repay my kindness!" Li Weiwei said into the phone: "In two days, I will go to Gloucester with Yu Huan and Zhao Rong to see how you fish, and I will invite you to have a thank you meal by the way."
"It doesn't have to be so much trouble."
Without waiting for Bei Hai to say, Li Weiwei on the other end said: "That's it, I'm going to rehearse, I'll notify you when I go!" ”。 After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
"What a two-hundred-five!" Bei Hai heard the beep on the phone and said with a wry smile.
After speaking, he looked up at the rearview mirror in front of him, and said to himself, "Could it be that my buddy has become more handsome?" Hiding in such a remote corner is a beautiful girl sent to the door? ”。
After looking at his fat face in the mirror for a while, Bei Hai also lost his interest in narcissism, but he was still a little happy when he heard that Li Weiwei was coming, of course, not for Li Weiwei, but when he remembered Zhao Rong's gentle appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.
I have to mention that Zhao Rong is not very attractive to a big boy like Bei Hai who has never been in love. Some people will ask how Bei Hai said that he has been messing with the United States for so long, how sadly he hasn't even had a girlfriend!
This is easy to explain, until the age of sixteen to eighteen I worked almost every day, and after the age of eighteen I begged for a living with the Carson brothers, where was the time.
What's more important is that as an Asian, mixed in the circle of Chinese, not Chinese, white and not white, no money and no time to find love? It's not a youth idol drama, have you woken up! Even if there are a few open American girls who want to find someone to entertain, a few will choose Bei Hai, an inconspicuous-looking fat man!
Putting down the phone and enjoying it for a few seconds, Bei Hai directly pushed the accelerator lever to the maximum speed, and immediately the engine of the Ripple let out a buzzing roar.
Listening to the roar of the engine, Bei Hai hit the rudder, and the Ripple drew a light arc in the harbor, speeding towards the deep blue Atlantic!
