138. Fishing boats
Sanzang looked at the cordial conversation between them without barriers, and suddenly understood that they all had a common identity.
The "post-war orphans" are all in the northeast of China. so-called
"When a fellow sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears", in Dongwei, a place where he is not familiar with life, he meets people like himself, and the relationship is of course very close.
Sanzang quietly watched them complain and communicate with each other. Or Boss Yan came back to his senses first,
"Let the little brother laugh! Alas! We were so miserable that we finally came across such an opportunity to communicate. ”
"It's okay! I can understand that men don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place! ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's worthy of being a cultural person, and it comes to my heart."
"Uncle Yan, you didn't say what you needed 3.5 million yen for?"
"Alas! It's a long story, and you can probably see that we are actually hated little devils! In fact, we are not little devils, there is still a difference between us and real little devils. We were actually victims, and after returning to China, we thought that we would quickly integrate into the Dongwa society and live a prosperous life. But reality quickly gave us a merciless blow, alas! We also blame ourselves for hating the poor and loving the rich at the beginning, although the country is a little poor, but it is not to live with dignity. Sanzang nodded, and the Dongwa government and most of the Dongwa people regarded them as their own
"Shame", how can you treat them sincerely.
"When we came back, we were not young, and we were discriminated against everywhere, and finding a job became a big problem. Those who can learn some simple Japanese quickly are a little better, and they can still work as coolies on construction sites, receiving one-third of the salary of the natives, plus a small amount of relief every month, barely enough to feed the family. But what about other people who can't find a job, can't watch their families starve to death! I had to go out to pick up garbage and sell scrap to make money, don't you say, picking up garbage in Dongwei is really profitable. But the good times didn't last long, and the fucking Dongwei police even caught picking up garbage, is there any reason for this? Is there still a royal law? We later learned that it was a fucking offense to pick up trash in Dongwa. Sanzang was very puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at the clouds sitting next to him,
"Do you know what's going on, Qiangyun?" Yun nodded and began to explain,
"The garbage sorting in Dongwei is very good, and people are not allowed to pick up recyclable garbage privately, because the local city government will sell it as a financial income. In addition, there are penalties such as fines and disclosure of personal information for 'habitual offenders' who pick up garbage. ”
"Your daughter-in-law is right, I was arrested once and didn't go, and several of them are 'habitual offenders'!" After Boss Yan finished speaking, several people lowered their heads with a wry smile.
Sanzang listened to them very sympathetic, this is already a shame to pick up garbage at an old age, and he is still regarded as a criminal, that kind of feeling can be imagined.
"A few of us are different from Lao Lin, they all farmed when they were in China. Several of us worked as fishermen in Bincheng Aquatic Products Company, and I later became the captain of the boat, and I became familiar with the waters of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and I even went to the Nanbang Sea when I was furthest. I couldn't afford to lose this person, so I learned a little bit of simple Japanese, and I got a job as a fisherman at a fishing company in Towa. Although I only receive one-third of the wages of the locals, the wages of the fishery workers in Dongwa are indeed very high, and my life is not bad. Later, when they found out about me, they all came to me and begged me, so I introduced them to work as fishermen. We like to come to the izakaya here to drink with a little money in our hands, and once our people got drunk and had a fight with your father-in-law, and we didn't know each other, and slowly we became good friends! Sanzang nodded,
"So why are you picking up garbage now?"
"Alas! It's not because of your father-in-law, although we are doing hard work and dirty work on the ship, and we have to be discriminated against and endure unequal treatment, but we are not young hairy boys, we are all in our fifties, and we still have a large family to raise, and we will endure it for a while. Sanzang listened and nodded, fully understanding.
"About a month ago, we drank with your father-in-law again, and this old boy drank a little and fooled us that he had a rich son-in-law. He can invest in us to buy a fishing boat, attached to the name of his trading company, we were moved at the time, you don't know how profitable the fishing boat is now, I have carefully calculated, it will take less than a year to return to the capital, and I can earn back the money from buying the boat. Sanzang listened and nodded, he knew the reason.
Due to its proximity to Hokkaido's fishing grounds, Higashi is rich in fishery resources. Hokkaido fishing grounds are located at the confluence of the To-Wa Warm Current and the Kuril Cold Current, and due to the difference in the density of the seawater, the denser cold water sinks, and the less dense warm water rises, causing the sea water to stir vertically up and down, and the floating sea water will bring the organic matter from the bottom to the surface of the sea, so that plankton can flourish, which provides abundant bait for fish.
At the same time, the convergence of cold and warm currents forms a natural screen in the seawater, restricting the movement of fish, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of fishing.
For these reasons, Hokkaido's fishing grounds are the largest in the world. And every 10 years or so, there is a certain chance that sardines in Hokkaido's fishing grounds will breed wildly.
Due to the narrow land and limited arable land resources, the demand for fish is also very large.
From now until about 91 years, it is the peak period of the Towa fishery, and its comprehensive catch actually ranks first in the world, and the small island country has such an achievement, which really makes the world stunned.
"Uncle Yan, you shouldn't trust him so easily, huh! My husband! ”
"Of course not, we were also suspicious, and the next day when he didn't drink, we caught him and asked him again, and he still spoke up, not like he was telling a lie. We still don't believe it, so we sent a few of our own children to follow him every day, and this old boy has suddenly become big in the past month, and he used to be very picky. At the end of last month, he met us and bragged that he could introduce you to us. We take it seriously, and if we don't seize the opportunity, we will be punished. A few of us simply discussed it and went to the fishing company to ask for an increase in wages, and if it was doubled to two-thirds of the locals, we would be satisfied. We were ready to do it honestly, but not only did we not give us a raise, but they also found someone to beat us up and threaten to fire us. We couldn't take it anymore, so we quit our jobs and came to this old boy. ”
"Then my father-in-law hid from you every day."
"That's right! We were fooled and lame by him, and we can't sit at home and eat empty! And then we're back to the old business, do you think there's a guy who does that? ”
"It's not authentic! If I pay you to buy you a fishing boat, will you be able to do it yourself? ”
"Absolutely! I'm the boat boss, and in the past seven or eight years, I've been with the boat through the surrounding waters of Towa, and I've been to the Hokkaido fishing grounds, but a few of us haven't come, and we can handle a fishing boat of about 100 tons and no more than 150 tons by ourselves. If it's too big, it's not good, and if it's too small, it's not interesting if we have a lot of people! ”
