Chapter 24: Preparations Before Departure

Then to the seaside villa bar.

A bottle of whiskey, two plates of nuts, a bucket of ice......

Chen Xin and Zhou Lan didn't drink just now, they came to the bar, and Zhou Sheng poured some for them.

"Don't drink too much, or you'll get up tomorrow morning with a headache." Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xin and said.

"Hmm." Chen Xin nodded, looking at the environment here.

The environment is very nice, next to the beach and the big coconut trees that have been transplanted.

The sea breeze blows slowly, bringing a faint smell of the sea.

For inland people, there is a little curiosity about the sea and some yearning.

Sit back and blow the air.

I only drank a small half bottle of wine, and the time was not early, and the wine that was not finished was stored here.

The next day, Chen Yuan and the others went to learn to drive in the morning and went to the shipyard in the afternoon to overhaul the fishing boats.

Although Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng do not have a management certificate, they have rich practical experience. It can be said that Chen Yuan can perform any position on an ordinary distant-water fishing vessel. Skipper included......

Chen Yuan's fishing boat has a built-in engine and needs to remove the rear deck. The engine was previously inspected and almost brand new. This time I changed the engine oil and maintained the whole body.

……

Time flashed, and it was July.

Chen Yuan: They successfully passed the first subject.

The first subject is the written test, which is very simple, and Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng passed it once.

Coming out of the examination room, Zhou Sheng got into Chen Yuan's battery car, and said coaxingly: "It's too simple, it's not difficult at all." ”

"How hard can subject one be." Chen Yuan twisted the electric door of the car as he spoke, and went to Zhapo Port.

The weather forecast says that the weather has been good in recent times, with no strong winds and waves.

The work to go to sea is ready.

When they came to the shipyard, Chen Yuan and Wang Peng said hello.

"All the supplies?" Chen Yuan said.

"It's complete. My father-in-law purchased it, you can see what is missing. Wang Peng took them to a small warehouse by the sea.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng began to count things.

There is a battery stove, a rice cooker, a bag of rice, and six buckets of mineral water...... Various seasonings...... There are even two packets of hot pot base.

"And the meat, in the fridge." Wang Peng said.

"......" Chen Yuan counted the supplies, which were enough for seven people for more than five days.

Then there is going to the open sea, they are going fishing, and there is definitely no shortage of food. Prepare these just in case.

"How much is the refrigerator and air conditioner, I'll transfer it to you." Chen Yuan said.

"Eighteen thousand in total." Wang Peng said that he wanted to show them the list: "The air conditioner is 1.5 horses. Freezer 1550 liters...... I've used some other materials here. ”

Chen Yuan waved his hand, transferred the money to Wang Peng, and said, "The piece of the commission will be given to you when we come back." If the catch is good, we will stay two more days. ”

"I'm kidding you, no." Wang Peng said with a smile.

"For the guests you introduced to us, this intermediary fee must be indispensable." Zhou Sheng also said.

"I'm kidding." Wang Peng said: "I also like to go out fishing when I am not working, and if I fish in the offshore sea in the future, you can give me a fishing spot for free." ”

"One yard to one yard. You have to charge the intermediary fee, and there are ...... free fishing spots"

"That's not to treat me as a friend." Wang Peng pretended to be angry and said: "It was really a joke before. Actually, I don't know many professional anglers, so after introducing them to you in the future, you will contact them individually...... Moreover, if I collect your intermediary fee, my father-in-law will not be allowed to hit me in the head. ”

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Yuan moved their things to the boat, and was about to call Lin Xinhai when he came over in a car, followed by a fuel truck.

The fishing boat was bought, and Lin Xinhai filled the fishing boat once in Zhuhai, and never refueled it since.

During this time, the fishing boat did not stop here all the time, and went out a few times during this period.

One was to go fishing.

Then after the freezer of the fishing boat is installed, the cabinet is filled with things and goes out several times to check the stability of the hull of the boat when it is fully loaded after the freezer is installed.

The freezer weighs hundreds of pounds, and if it is full, it can hold more than a ton. If the hull of this ship is unstable, it is not a joke to go to the open sea.

"Master." Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng shouted.

Lin Xinhai replied and said, "The fuel truck is coming." I also bought 4 50-liter oil drums, is it enough? ”

"That's enough." Chen Yuan said: "The matter of sea supply, let's get in touch." ”

"It's connected." Lin Xinhai gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.

The fuel tank capacity of the fishing boat is 1,670 liters, and there is some oil in it, for a total of 1,589 liters. I also brought another 200 liters......

That is, a total of 1789 liters of diesel fuel were added.

The price of diesel is constantly changing, and marine diesel is also divided into low-speed and high-speed ......

Low speed is what we often call heavy oil, which has a relatively high viscosity. The price of heavy oil is comparatively cheaper.

And high-speed diesel marine diesel, the price is higher.

1 ton of diesel is about 1176 liters. Chen Yuan: The diesel fuel used in their fishing boats is similar to that of cars...... The price of 1 ton is 9283 yuan.

On average, it looks like 7.9 yuan per liter.

On the fishing boat, a total of more than 14,000 yuan of diesel. This price is much cheaper than that at the gas station.

After the preparations were done, Chen Yuan contacted the passengers by phone, asked them to come out to eat sugar water, and talked about the precautions for going to sea.

Chen Yuan: There were three of them on their side, plus four passengers, for a total of seven people.

The passengers were: He Fei, Yang Xun, Zhang Cheng, Meng Jianshan.

He Fei and Yang Xun won't say much.

Zhang Cheng, who invited Chen Yuan and them to dinner in the fishing row before, then went out to fish for a while together.

Zhang Cheng has a friend named Guo Hao, who is prone to seasickness and does not dare to go to the open sea. Meng Jianshan is Zhang Cheng's cousin, a senior fisherman, and an UP master.

Chen Yuan has watched the video posted by Meng Jianshan on Station B, the account name is 'Dashan Haiyu', and he has more than 10,000 fans.

The UP master with more than 10,000 fans should be a small UP master who is not well-known.

The time-honored sugar water shop in Lao Street, when Chen Yuan and the others passed, He Fei and they had already arrived.

"We're ready to go to sea at six o'clock tomorrow morning." Chen Yuan said: "Let's talk about the price first, the basic price is 6,000 yuan, three days and two nights. If you catch more fish, you will stay at sea for a few more days...... Today is the 2nd, tomorrow the 3rd will depart, and if there are not many catches, the 5th will be back. If you catch a lot of fish and the weather conditions are good, you will come back on the 10th at the latest. An extra day at sea costs an extra $500 per person. ”

"Understood." He Fei.

"No problem." Meng Jianshan.

Yang Xun and Zhang Cheng also nodded.

"The trolling fee is divided into sea areas, and a fishing position is 800, 500, and per hour. The price of trolling around the reef is expensive, and the cost of trolling along the continental shelf is cheap......"

Chen Yuan had said these things before, and when they said it again, several people also nodded.

"Shall we buy an insurance policy?" Zhang Cheng asked.

The brand of the fishing boat has been taken down. It is a sea fishing boat for business purposes, and it has all the qualifications, and all the procedures have been completed. Of course, this also includes insurance......

Don't look at the fishing boats are not big, and the annual premium is more than 110,000 yuan. This includes claims for occupant accidents......

"Insurance doesn't have to be purchased separately." Zhou Sheng said: "If you have your own insurance, of course it is better. ”

After everything was negotiated, Chen Yuan talked about the things to be prepared for fishing in the open sea: "Prepare the fishing tackle yourself." We also had spare tackle on board, but it cost money. Chen Yuan smiled as he spoke, and said, "We don't have many vegetables for this piece of food, but there is enough meat...... And then there's the fish that comes up. If there is no problem, we will meet at the shipyard at six o'clock tomorrow morning and set off. ”

"Okay."

"No problem......"
