Chapter 634: Deep Processing
This new fishing port was built urgently, at the beginning, it was a commercial port, and it was used as a supplementary port for the entire Yangtze River basin, after all, the core of the Yangtze River basin is Jiangning, and next, it is the location of Hangzhou and Chongzhou, although it is very important, but the volume is too small, and the radiation is too small.
After Zhao Xin turned his target to fishing boats, and all the ships of Dinghai Shipyard were changed from other types to fishing boats, Chongzhou's status was highlighted.
It is close enough to the Yangtze River estuary fishing grounds, and also has a certain foundation, although it is only more than 20 days, but this renovation is only for the fishing port, not a large-scale commercial port, and there is little improvement and construction.
In 20 days, the relatively tight period of time, the modification of the terminal was minimal, in addition to improving the berthing mode of the terminal, also adding some berths, and most importantly, the construction of a large processing plant.
The fish that are caught need to be processed, and after simply cleaning the internal organs, processing and salting, that is only the most basic practice, and their purpose is just to prevent the fish from rotting, and the real further is still to be on the shore.
The news that the fishing boat arrived near the mouth of the Yangtze River had already notified the fishing port very early, but I didn't expect the fishing boat to return so soon, and the fishing port was not ready.
Fortunately, a boat arrived first to inform the news, giving the fishing port almost half an hour to react, even if it was already night, the fishing port also called all the people in accordance with the regulations.
In the dark night, the fishing port is brightly lit, and the lighting conditions brought by the navy are set to a certain extent, so that the night also has the ability to move.
However, those who were hired by the fishing port were not in such a good mood, and at night, some of them had already fallen asleep, but they were woken up one by one to come here to work, which was a little unaccustomed to the people in the neighborhood who had never experienced it like this.
Fortunately, the fishing port adopts the method of distribution according to work, how much work you do, how much salary, and it is also clear that at some special times, you also have to work at night, which is nowhere to go.
They are all neighbors nearby, everyone is discussing, how much can be done today, the process is known, all are the simplest, on the basis of pickling, they further clean the scales on the fish, some rough cleaning parts, to fine cleaning, part, even need to be divided, ready for future production.
There are about 400 people in charge of classification, and they will not only get a subsidy of 10 wen when they work at night, but also get 1 wen for every 10 catties processed.
This is a good harvest, in their opinion, tonight, maybe they can earn 20 Wen, all of them are active in the Yangtze River estuary, some of them are fishing by the river, and they are quite familiar with handling catches.
In the eyes of these fishermen, it is a pure waste to gather so many people, although there are many fish on the Yangtze River, but how many can there be at night.
In the harbor, there was a commotion, it seemed that there were sails moving, they knew that it was the fishing boat that had returned to the port, and where was the fishing port, there was another group of people, they were not locals, they were from the Dinghai Navy, they would manipulate the tools, unload the fish on the fishing boat, and send them to the processing workshop.
Soon, someone came over to form a team, and 400 people were divided into 5 parts and entered 5 huge workshops, which were brightly lit and bright as day, which made some people who were used to the night a little uncomfortable.
This is also a matter of no way, even in the Dinghai Navy, with a certain amount of meat supplements, the proportion of night blindness is more than 6 percent, here in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is much worse, if you choose as much as possible without night blindness, not only are there few personnel, but it is not easy to find middle-aged labor, simply use the method of lighting.
There are a lot of bright kerosene lamps in the Dinghai Navy, but they are just equipped.
The processing table is very large, not one table for each person, but a circular table, and on the inside of this table, there is a huge thing that I don't know what material is made of.
If there is someone in Dinghai, they will definitely know what this thing is, conveyor belt.
That's right, the biggest improvement of the assembly line is to make the product move, rather than people moving to equip the product, reduce the extra labor of people as much as possible, and then complete the process of equipment uniformly and more and more proficiently.
On the fishing port side, for the time being, there is no large-scale use of machinery, but this simple conveyor belt is still possible, and even this conveyor belt only needs to be moved every once in a while, so that these processing personnel can get the fish more easily.
Outside the fishing port, it is already in full swing, because today's harvest is particularly huge, a ship is about 270 tons, this amount, far more than before, 100 tons, a day, can not be processed at all.
The person in charge of processing has reduced a lot of steps, and even the fish head is not treated, and the time to return is only about 180 tons.
Fortunately, when processing, the main ones that are easy to rot are selected, as well as the ones that are caught in the front, and the ones that are caught in the back are temporarily watered.
The vitality of marine fish is relatively tenacious, they may take a period of time to die under the premise of a certain amount of water, and the low temperature after night is not easy to decay quickly.
This also highlights a problem, the trawl made by the Dinghai Navy can efficiently catch enough fish in such a natural fishing ground as the Yangtze River estuary, but how to deal with these fish, whether to increase internal personnel, or something else.
During this period of time, the Dinghai Navy has been formed, and when it encounters a problem that it cannot handle by itself, it will respond upward, and this problem is not something that these people from fishing boats can handle.
Meat insurance has always been a big problem, in ancient times, the sea was not developed, a key problem, that is, the sea fish is not easy to preserve, if a small amount, you can also use seawater to raise, in river boats, there are some traditional seaside fishing, will carry some water, for fish farming.
But in the case of a small amount, the river boat is at most a few tens of catties, hundreds of catties, and the sea boat is a little more, that is, one or two hundred.
Now, the fishing boats of the Dinghai Navy have suddenly reached the number of 500,000 catties, which cannot be raised, even if according to the premise of one ratio of water and fish, another 300 tons of water have been added, which is also a huge pressure on fishing boats.
Not to mention, it is impossible to be one-to-one, and in order to keep these fish alive, it may be one-to-two, or even one-to-three.
Headaches aside, perhaps, when you go to sea tomorrow, bring more than 100 helpers, and not cooking, as long as you are in the prime of life, have a certain amount of hands-on ability, and get a little familiar, you can get on the ship to work.
Although in this way, people will be squeezed a little, but basically, when they return, they will be able to dispose of the catch.
Five large processing workshops were eventually sorted, two for the fish that had been processed, and three for the dying, or live, for those who were a little more labor-intensive, and likewise, there was a little bit of irregularity, because to deal with the fish, you can't do without salt, which should not be landed.
Fortunately, Dinghai does not sell it, but only deals with the fish, and it is still tonight, for the sake of Dinghaihou's face, as long as it does not continue for a long time, there should be no problem.
The fixed frame is filled with processed catches, and this frame is quite huge, a basket, about 2 tons.
If it is purely human, no matter how powerful a man is, strong enough to be like Sun Ji, don't even think about picking it up.
Fortunately, there are lifting machinery and special slides, as long as things are carried off the ship, and then sent to the overhead crane, and then according to a certain path, you can enter into different rooms.
In the processing room, more than 80 people are staring at the brightly lit room, the layout is spotless, each person can occupy a nearly 5-meter-wide operating table, in front of them, there are all kinds of tools, although no one has the courage to pick it up, but looking at these dazzling things, as well as the flickering cold light, you know that these things are very sharp.
The fishing port is really bloody, such a good thing, really thirty or fifty catties of fish, can be processed quickly, so why make it so big, call so many people over, is it difficult, just for pomp?
Those who choose to work in the fishing port are basically, they are the lowest level of society, of course they know that those who have the ability to make such a big fishing port are definitely not ordinary people, and they don't dare to say more, do their jobs well and get money, this is the best, what do you do with so much gossip.
"Please note that the processing will start immediately, as previously trained, pick up the fish from the conveyor belt, and when the processing is finished, put it in the bucket at the back!"
I don't know where, there was a loud sound, it seemed that someone was shouting, but listening to this voice, it seemed to be a little calm, and before they could figure out what it was, the conveyor belt in front of them began to move.
On the conveyor belt almost one meter wide, countless fish were sent in, these have settled in the mouth of the Yangtze River for a long time, it can be said that from small to large, I don't know how many fish I have seen, but so many, it is the first time, dense fish, piled up throughout the conveyor belt, and then sent to everyone.
According to the range of 5 meters long and 1 meter wide for each person, there are several layers densely piled up, I am afraid that there are not hundreds, thousands of catties.
Does everyone have to deal with a thousand pounds?
These workers, thinking more, is not tired, but income, according to the standard, 10 catties and 1 wen, the thousand catties are disposed of, not 100 wen.
For these people who are far away from the bustling areas and can only make a living at the mouth of the Yangtze River, 100 Wen is really not a small amount of money.
After being stunned for a while, I don't know who woke up first, and began to pick up the knives, quickly processed, and the whole workshop was busy.
This is a finishing workshop, and the fish sent in are all salted without head, and they need to further clean the internal organs, scrape off the scales, and remove some useless places by the way.
These are the simplest jobs, and they often do them in their daily lives, picking up the knives on the case and dealing with them, almost everyone finds that the knives are very sharp.
It turns out that it may take a lot of effort to remove the place, but with the help of a knife, it can be easily completed, and the processing of a fish may be half a cup of tea.
This is a big surprise, almost all of these fish are marine fish, even the smallest ones, they are more than 5 catties, that is to say, very quickly, they can earn a penny, or even all of them can be processed in 1,000 catties, I am afraid it will take less than 2 hours.
At any time, money is a huge motivator, especially for poor places, after the initial shock, the next thing is to bury your head in hard work without listening.
Any work, will be a familiar process, when familiar, the efficiency will increase rapidly, and focus, easy to make people forget the time.
I don't know when, there are fewer and fewer fish in front of me, and sometimes, it is necessary to stretch forward and even walk to be able to reach it, and behind me, the processed bucket, after being filled, is checked, and someone quickly transported it away, and left a piece of data.
This data is the sign of receiving a salary later, and everyone has more or less, but as long as it is about the same, this data is not much different.
About 80% of the fish on the conveyor belt were processed, and some of them were faster, almost finished, and the conveyor belt moved again, this time, there were a lot of fish.
In the long-term work, everyone has been a little numb, fortunately, the desire for money, let them forget tired, there are fish, it means that there is money, more fish, such an easy life, who doesn't want to?
In the concentration, most of the night has passed, has been working for more than 3 hours, fatigue and sleepiness, is the biggest problem, but the efficiency is very high, when the third conveyor belt is sent in, there is no more, when the first one to complete the work, the fish in front of him have all been processed, it is already early in the morning.
There was no sky outside, but fatigue hit him, and he was dizzy.
Fortunately, someone next to him helped him, and at a glance, he was in charge of the calculation before.
The last bucket of fish, taken and calculated, was 98 catties, plus the previous 38 buckets, his final figure was as high as 3,800 catties, that is, tonight, he processed a total of nearly two tons of fish.
The others are similar, the slowest one, also with the help of others, completed after a quarter of an hour, and the recorded data is about 3,200 catties to 4,100 catties, that is, almost everyone, one night, can get more than 300 yuan.
More than 300 wen, what does it mean for the people of Chongzhou, it means 4 catties of pork, a stone of wheat, and more than a stone of miscellaneous grains, which can almost make the family eat for a long time.
But the price is not small, continuous work, processing so many fish, also let their physical strength reach the limit, most of them, in the record of data, can't care about going back, just think about the head and sleep.
Dinghai is very humane and arranges a place, although it is a chase shop, but for these low-level people, they can't take care of this, and they will fall asleep.
Soon after, it is dawn, and some of the processed fish will go to the cannery, where they will be further processed and canned, sold or shipped back to Dinghai, and some of them will enter the market of the fishing port for sale, which is not much, but it is also a good attempt.
