Chapter 1007 - To the Place Where the Cargo Ship Sank (7000 Words)
Ye Yaodong was used to talking back, and Father Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with him chasing Lao Tzu like this.
But when I got up, I still muttered, "People are not as good as fish, I knew that when I took pictures during the New Year, I would take a few more photos, and I would save you from wasting on fish, so you shouldn't be reluctant to ...... at that time."
"No matter what comes into your hands, it's a very loser, and you can't get it in three or two clicks, and you don't know how much that camera film costs, and you have to take a picture outside for a dollar......"
"How many photos have you taken just now? If you are lavish and don't live carefully, how can money withstand such spending? If I don't shoot something useful, I wanted to talk about you last time, and I was forgotten by those manta rays......"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, and after his father came out, he hurriedly squeezed into the cockpit.
Father Ye seems to be possessed by Mother Ye, and I don't know if he is old, and he loves to nag.
"Keep some for next year, don't shoot next, keep a few shots for next year, take a few shots the year after next, save a little, and use a film for a few more years......"
Still thinking about using it for a few more years?
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? ”
Father Ye smashed his mouth twice, and he also felt a little dry.
"Then you have to put away your camera a little better, it's easy to get wet when you take it to the sea, and it will break in the second half of the two, I'll go to dinner first, you can get up the net immediately, I'll go down and ask someone to prepare."
"Hmm."
He breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at his father's back, and wanted to take a few more photos for them during the New Year, but they were reluctant to take pictures, and when he used it to shoot fish, he had to talk about it again.
It's not easy to be a man's son and a man's grandson.
Seeing that the boatmen on deck were ready and ready, he immediately took control of the net.
His father has never left this sea area before, and has been circling around, this net is as expected, it does burst the net, the red horsehead fish from the fishing net is hung out of the water and emerges from the net, which looks particularly gorgeous in the sun.
Father Ye also said happily at the bottom, "It's been another bumper harvest." ”
He learned the word "exploding" from Ye Yaodong, and he didn't know when it began, and it also spread, and the villagers in the village would also say the word "exploding" from time to time, probably because it was appropriate.
A word that is practical and simple and apt is easy to spread in life.
"This net must be four or five thousand catties of foundation......"
"It should be about the same, it looks better than the previous net......"
"Take a look at it, and you'll know the approximate..."
"I still have to wait for the picking, there are a lot of useless groceries, I have to see how much money is sold, and how many networks don't mean anything."
After Ye Yaodong waited for the fishing net to go down again, he also walked out of the cockpit and stood on the helm tower to look down, and five people, including his father, were squatting there to pick up the goods.
Everyone put a bamboo basket next to them, and everyone started picking at the same time with both hands, which was extremely neat, racing against time, sorting early, and cleaning up to rest early.
Each basket is filled with horsehead fish, this fish is also a common deep-sea fish, there is a good look, there is a taste, the local is generally used to stew rice wine to cook fish soup, or steamed, can also be fried and braised dry, the fish meat is very tender.
If this fish is purchased by the fresh boat, it is also in the early days of a dime, but it is much better than other goods, it can be said that it is less than the above, more than the bottom, and there can be a thousand catties caught at a time, and the harvest is very good.
The deck under them is all over the deck, and the pile may be more than 1,000 pounds, and one person and one basket are almost finished, and there are many red and glamorous.
The harvest of this net should be 200 yuan.
Thanks to the humpback whales for destroying the killer whales' feeding, they were somewhat able to catch a little.
The people below were there to pick and chat, whispering, Ye Yaodong looked at it for a while, and then returned to the cockpit, saving himself the cold wind blowing on the sea.
By the way, he was bored, and he took out the note in his hand and compared it with the coordinates displayed on the instrument table, and it felt as if it was not far away.
After all, they were also on their way back to work at that time, and they encountered two boats, and now although the operation is slow, they also drove for several hours at night before they got off the net.
I was vaguely looking forward to it, and if I got close later, I would guide to that coordinate and go over and take a look.
Anyway, if he moved, the Harvest would keep a distance from him depending on the situation, accommodate him, and not let the two ships go too far, and it didn't matter which one was dominant.
If you see a boat disappearing from view, the other boat will come closer, and everyone will accommodate each other without interfering with each other.
After Father Ye waited for the fish to be picked up almost at the bottom, he had to continue rummaging for others, and he was idle before he ran up again and told him what the goods were and how many baskets there were.
The horsehead fish picked 17 baskets, about 1,300 catties, as well as 200 catties of red shrimp, more than 100 catties of sword shrimp, more than 100 catties of white pomfret, small yellow croaker also has dozens of catties, toad fish also has seven or eight hundred catties, and there are other scattered fish that can be sold for money There are also four or five hundred catties.
"This net is very good, there is a 6,000 catties, and the groceries and small fish should have to be dumped more than 2,000 catties."
"It's a pity......" Ye Yaodong regretted very much, he had to throw away so much, and they would be able to sell money in the future.
In the future, a boat like them will catch a net of one or two thousand catties, and now at the best time, they can catch seven or eight thousand catties, and they are really lucky, and it is not impossible to meet a school of fish, and the whole ten thousand catties is not impossible.
It's just that they haven't encountered a large number of fish yet, which can make them a million catties.
It's all about chance.
"It's a pity what, it's already very good, the useless goods are poured back into the sea to feed some big fish, just apply fertilizer, and they can grow faster."
"When we return, let's dock in the city, sell the goods on the ship and go back, and by the way, I have to go to the shipyard in the city to have a look."
Father Ye's eyebrows raised again, and he glared at him, "What are you doing in the shipyard in the city?" Do you really want to build another fresh ship to collect those garbage goods? I thought you were just talking last time, but you didn't even have enough gas money to pull it back......"
"I didn't specifically want to collect those garbage goods, just collect our three boats of good goods, and let them pick up the garbage goods by the way, just transport them back by the way, which can not only make money without wasting it, but also make a little more money and expand the scale of the workshop."
The daily cargo of the three boats is not enough to fill the warehouse of the fishing boats, and by the way, it will not lose money if the general cargo is returned, and you can make a profit just by selling the goods of the three boats.
Anyway, his own fresh harvesting boat, coming to collect it every day can also add a little extra income to the fishing boat.
There are also a lot of fish in those groceries, but they can't be sold at a price, and some of them are not small, and they can be made into fish sauce, and dried fish can be dried in the sun.
Dried shrimp, dried shrimp, dried shrimp, all without waste, no matter how thin the groceries are, you can get meat out of them.
Equivalent to hello, hello, hello everyone.
Anyway, Ah Qing agreed, and he only informed his father, not asking for his consent.
"Also three boats...... The boat that you three brothers have partnered with has not yet arrived, and you have already counted it first..."
"Of course, I'm calling it a step at a time to see ten steps, I didn't count Aunt Aguang's boat and Uncle Zheng's boat, they have already been calculated, I have a share of the three boats I counted, and they account for a lot of share. I want to collect fresh ships and collect three boats of goods, can you collect them for me? Isn't that a surefire thing? ”
"See for yourself, see for yourself."
When he said it last time, he was almost convinced, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Anyway, it's also a property, if you have money, let him toss, and it seems that the more he tosses, the better.
"I'll only say anything to you, A-Qing has no opinion, we both discussed it."
Father Ye waved his hand, stopped talking to him, and prepared to go to the deck to chat with the old guys to make him more comfortable.
These old shipwrights on the ship did not fail to hold their hands when they talked to him, and of course they were happier when they talked to them.
He is an old man, more secure, more content with the status quo, now stable, making a lot of money every day, and a lot of industry in his hands, he feels that it is already very good, and Dongzi continues to toss him He also feels quite redundant.
It is also poverty that limits his imagination, and he doesn't know how to spend the more money he earns for more than 10,000 households.
Ye Yaodong told his father anyway, and when he went ashore in the city on the return trip, he had to ask his father to watch the boat.
After the comparison, you can settle down immediately when you go home, and decide to receive the goods early.
The fishing boat continued to work on the surface of the sea unhurriedly, and it was a little boring if nothing special happened, and the ashtray made of simple iron sheets on the operating table was already covered with a lot of cigarette butts.
It is also gradually increasing over time.
The cockpit was also smoky, and it wasn't until he was about to lift the net again that he stepped out of the cockpit and poured the cigarette butt to let the air circulate inside.
After cleaning up the deck, there was no long interval before the next net was collected, so everyone also talked and chatted on the deck, ate seafood, and took a look at the scenery by the way.
Father Ye was surrounded by everyone on the deck and laughed, smiling extremely brightly, and some of the yellowed smoke teeth were almost grinning behind his ears.
At this time, the sun was already hiding in the thick clouds, and it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but it looked like it was almost evening, and it was not far from the feeling of getting dark.
As soon as he came out and shouted, when everyone was ready, he returned to the cockpit, but in a short time, his hair had been blown into sunflowers.
The first month of the year shaved his head and killed his uncle, who was not very short before the year, and deliberately left a little longer to comb a big back for the New Year, which is longer.
He grabbed his hair and lifted the net.
Until nightfall, everyone repeats the day's work, and only after dinner go to bed according to the schedule.
They are also getting farther and farther away from the coordinates that Ye Yaodong is thinking about.
After two days of fishing in a step-by-step manner, the fish warehouse was full, and they thought of contacting the fresh ship to come and receive the goods, because the weather was cold and several nets were collected temporarily, and they could temporarily pile them on the deck without fear of things.
The last time the fresh harvesting boat was arrested, I don't know if it was released, so I can take this opportunity to see if I can get in touch, and if I can't get in touch, then change it, and they can also know.
"After discussing the compensation, it should be possible to release it, right?"
"Their behavior can be said to be attacking the police, how to release it, but it's not up to them to have the final say, we'll know when Uncle Pei contacts us, have people come out?"
"Fortunately, the fresh harvest boat was a little better than the other boat, and the boat was saved and did not sink into the sea."
"The other boat sank directly to the bottom of the sea, not to mention anything else, there is no return for sure. The ship did not sink, but it is hard to say whether it was really saved. ”
"You forgot? The entire ship's cargo has been confiscated, it can be said that at least half of the net worth is gone, and the shareholders of that ship should also earn wages on the ship, and the police also have a share. Isn't it normal to detain you for ten days and half a month, and then fine you a large sum of money and then release it? ”
"The goods are gone, half of the net worth is gone, and a large amount of money is fined, which is not much better than the ship sinking directly, and the capital of the comeback must have to borrow a large amount of money outside, but now the conditions of each family, who has the money to borrow?"
"People in the city may not be able to lend thousands or hundreds of dollars to others, not to mention that the people who do this are fishermen, and most of the fishermen are very poor."
Father Ye nodded, "That's right, that's really half a catty, probably all the money accumulated in the past few years has to be lost." However, since they can collect fresh boats, it means that the people they know should also know the boats, borrow a little from everywhere, and relatives should be able to do it again......"
"What you think is too simple, Dad, the whole ship's goods, don't say much, 10,000 bottoms, right? One fresh harvester docked seven trawlers. ”
"According to his 5 shareholders, everyone has to borrow at least 2,000 yuan, and the premise of this must be that the money on hand is enough to fine, but you can't only take 10,000 yuan to go to sea to receive goods, what if there are more people and goods? Whose ship will owe you? This person has to borrow at least 3,000 yuan. ”
"Our rural relatives have borrowed a lot of one or two hundred, and no one's money is blown by the wind, 3,000 yuan, it is estimated that all relatives and friends have to be borrowed, and they may not be able to borrow it, not to mention that the money needed will only be more, and borrowing money is a big problem."
Although it has been changed for several years, most families have just reached food and clothing, but the deposit is definitely not much, not to mention the rise of small household appliances, every family has needs, and large sums of money are so easy to borrow.
Father Ye sighed, "If this person is unlucky, no amount of money is enough to toss, he has worked hard for several years, and once he returns to the pre-liberation period, he is unlucky, and he has to start again." ”
"So, I need to make some more money. There is nothing that cannot be without money, and there is nothing that cannot be sick. ”
"If they are really detained and fined, then even if they are released and the fishing boats are returned, they will not be able to go to sea in the short term."
"Yes."
"It also allows us to learn a lesson and get ...... at sea"
Just as the father and son were talking, the sound of a connection came over the radio.
Pei's father was also talking about the fresh collection boat, the fresh collection boat a few days ago couldn't be contacted, and he contacted the new fresh collection ship.
As they expected.
After cutting off the connection, Father Ye couldn't help but say: "If they don't do it after they are released, they just sell the boat, and you can save trouble by taking it over." ”
"Dream father, we don't know them, if we really want to make a move, it won't be our turn, their own relatives and friends can buy it together. What's more, who is willing to sell the ship directly after having done it and knowing the profits in it? ”
"That's too, forget it, then when you go back, go to the shipyard in the city and have a look."
They contacted the fresh ship in the morning, and only in the afternoon did the fresh ship come to collect the goods that were full of warehouses and decks, and the results of the two-day trawl were sold for more than 2,000 yuan, and he spent 890 yuan on refueling and ice by the way.
After deducting the expenses of refueling and refueling in the town when he came out, he made a net profit of five or six hundred in two days.
However, there is no need to spend the next two or three days at sea, and in the next two or three days, if you can sell it for more than 2,000, it will be pure profit, but you have to continue to refuel and add ice.
It is also that the storage capacity of their fishing boats is too small, and now the technology is not so developed, and there are many goods caught every day, so they contact the fresh collection ships frequently, and there are only a small number of refueling and ice additions.
The two fishing boats echoed each other on the sea, one net after another, 24 hours without stopping, and for three days in a row, and after the goods on the ship were sold again, they also came out for 5 days.
The fishing boat is also about to start its return trip, but when it returns, it must also go back while working, and when the offshore waters are not deep enough for fishing, they will collect the nets and speed back with all their might.
On the way back, the luck was not so good, and the cabin was not full for the next two days, but it was much closer to the coordinates he had in mind.
At this time, he estimated that if he drove to the city with all his might, it should only take two or three hours.
It's early in the morning, when he was on duty with his father, he went back to bed and specially told his father, don't stay far away from the coordinates, and when he woke up and finished lunch, it happened to be at noon when the sun was at its highest, and it would be more friendly to go into the water.
Father Ye knew that he had been thinking about it for many days, and he had been chattering since he got on the boat, but he didn't disobey him, and according to what he said, he was slowly getting closer to the coordinates all morning, and he waited until he woke up to listen to his arrangement.
He had the right idea now, even if he wasn't allowed to go into the water now, he would still have to go down the next trip.
Father Ye himself actually wanted to know if he could salvage something, after all, the boat was also sunk with his own eyes, and it was absolutely clear that there was something in the cabin.
Ye Yaodong was worried about things in his heart, and he couldn't sleep soundly, coupled with the sound of the machine in his ears, he didn't sleep at all, but just kept his eyes closed and recuperated.
Whether you can sleep or not, you have to close your eyes and recuperate.
After staying at home for two days, he finally got a little more energetic, but in the past few days at sea, he has regained his languish and haggard, and he has not cleaned up the stubble on his cheeks, and there are a large number of dark circles under his eyes, and it is not easy to earn money at sea.
Fortunately, he is only going to sea for a short time now, and he will go back in a few days, and he can also have some cultivation.
He closed his eyes until he heard movement from the other beds, and Chen Shi got up with the other boatman, and he sat up with him.
"Dongdong Donggo? You... You're not much... Sleep? ”
"No, I've slept enough."
"We're busy, can you sleep more?"
"It's okay, there's something else."
Father Ye couldn't help it when he came to him, "Or shall we wait for the hot weather before going into the water?" Anyway, since it sank there, if the Maritime Safety Bureau hadn't salvaged it, it would definitely not be gone, and after a few months, those cans would not be broken if they sank in the sea, they were all sealed. ”
"When I came out, I said I was going to go down, but you told me to wait until I went back to the water, and now you want to tell me to wait until it's hot, and I have told you everything, so what else do I say?"
"It's not like it's just spring, it's still very cold, it's easy to catch a cold when the season changes, and the breeze keeps blowing in the sea."
"It's okay, it's all here, don't talk about it, I'm a young man, what are you afraid of when I'm strong? It's not your old man, so I'm just sinking, and in a few days, I'll go down and take a look first. After eating, boil a pot of boiling water, and wait for me to come up from the water. ”
"Okay,"
In fact, he shouldn't listen to his father, he should take advantage of the good mental state and strong physical fitness when he just came out, go into the water and take a look, anyway, he also has a change of clothes, as long as he takes a hot shower after going ashore.
He washed up briefly, there were still unfinished goods on the deck, and most of their meals were eaten in batches, and occasionally there was only one piece.
The three people who had just gotten up also took advantage of the fact that the goods in the next net were not confiscated, and a little of the goods on the deck was more than enough to be handed over to the others, so they all hurried to eat, and after eating, he planned to let his father start the net again.
After putting it away, it did not go to the net, but slowly approached the coordinates of the sinking cargo ship on the side.
It just so happened that he was also counting the time, and now the tide is also receding.
So the boatmen also had their work to pick up goods on deck, and he also went down to the water to see what was going on.
As soon as Ye Yaodong remembered that there were still good things waiting for him under the water, he was in high spirits and full of energy, and he was not sluggish before he fell asleep at all, but the whole person looked a little sloppy.
As soon as he finished eating, he went to take over his father's work and went to raise the net, and the boatmen also took turns, eating and eating, and lifting the net.
There are also a lot of goods collected from this net, and the bag that was lifted up by visual inspection is also four or five thousand catties, which should just be able to fill the cabin.
Now that his mind has gone underwater, he doesn't care much about the package.
He told the boatman in advance not to put it down after he had collected it, and then he slowed down and slowly approached the reef.
Father Ye also stood on the sea and watched, until he stopped smoothly, he was relieved, and then lowered the anchor to prevent the boat from drifting with the wind.
"Let's stop here first, I'll go down and take a look first, if it's far away, move it again, it's normal to have deviations in the coordinates of driving on the sea."
"Then you can go down and take a look first, slow down, don't be in a hurry."
"Hmm."
"Adong wants to go into the water?"
"I said why suddenly I didn't get off the net, the sea is colder than the land, it's just the beginning of spring, it's cold, it's easy to catch a cold, what are you going to do? The net is not hung on the bottom, and it is nothing......"
"It's very dangerous under the sea, didn't you see that big fish half the size of a boat the day before yesterday? What if you go down into the water? Its mouth opens and swallows people directly. ”
"No, these big fish under the seabed, as long as you don't provoke them, they generally won't take the initiative to provoke humans, sharks have to smell blood to track. If you want to give it to her, she will probably think you're small, but it's enough to stuff her teeth. ”
Those big whales and big sharks look at you, probably like you look at the toads on the ground, they look strange and don't look good at the mouth.
"What are you doing in the water?"
Ye Yaodong felt that there was nothing to hide from them, "Didn't a cargo ship sink here a few days ago?" Another fresh harvesting boat escaped smoothly......"
"Oh~ So you want to go down and take a look at the cargo ship?"
"You can't see it, can you? I can't reach it when I see it, let's go down to three or four meters, four or five meters at most, although the whole boat is more than 30 meters, and it sinks at an angle, but who knows if it is tilted under the water? How many degrees of inclination? ”
"Although there is a reef underneath, who knows how deep it is, where the ship sinks, and the vast sea with a coordinate, it is not so easy to find the boat underwater."
"Don't say two or three hundred meters deep, if it's a hundred meters deep, you won't even see a shadow."
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "It's okay, I'll go down and take a look first, if I don't find it, let's change the location, there is a whole day time for me to spend here." Don't talk yet, tidy up the goods, and help me move things to the cabin. ”
Everyone moved out the machine he had hidden in the utility room of the cabin and half-dragged and half-lifted it together, which was almost equivalent to doing half a set of warm-up exercises.
Several of the shipwrights looked at each other, and saw that he had already undressed himself, wearing only autumn clothes and trousers, and said that he would spend a day, and knew that he had made up his mind, and there was nothing to persuade.
Father Ye also said: "If you want to go down, then go down and take a look, and I will go and boil hot water for you." ”
Anyway, this trip to the sea can earn okay, and it's okay to delay a daytime.
Rub it off during the day, and when it comes to the night, you can drag it again when you go to the city.
After docking, I went to sell goods in the early morning, and after selling them, I went to the shipyard at dawn.
Dongzi himself has already arranged it, and he won't persuade him, so he can't help his father.
Ye Yaodong warmed up for a while after stripping naked to avoid cramps and increased blood pressure before putting on his equipment and jumping into the water.
The moment he just entered the water, he shivered fiercely, his whole spirit was tense, his scalp was numb, his teeth were trembling, and he couldn't speak.
Winter swimming really requires a lot of courage and perseverance.
After shivering a little under the water, he quickly moved, and for about five to eight minutes, his head was dazed, his limbs were wooden, and his breath was short.
After a long time and familiarization with the water temperature, he stopped tiptoeing and slowly moved downstream.
As he exercised more and kept diving, the water temperature was not so cold, his body gradually warmed up, and his breathing accelerated a little.
He also swayed more and more naturally.
The early spring sun can only be regarded as warm and warm, not hot, so that the light under the water is not as good as in summer.
When he went down to five or six meters, he didn't see the shadow of a reef around him, so he knew that he had found the wrong place.
He simply swung his flippers directly ashore, ready to go a little further, just watched, and drive forward safely.
