Several people came out of the dock, first went to the aquatic station not far away, and rode their respective bicycles to Zhang Ze's house.

As soon as he got home, he saw his family gathered at the door.

When I got closer, I realized that Zhang Qinghe was here and was tinkering with the barbecue grill that he had customized from the blacksmith in the village.

"Aze, are you all here? Did the boat be bought? Tong Shuyao was the first to find a few people, and she was very happy to see her brothers coming together.

Zhang Ze rode to the door of the house and parked, first greeted Zhang Qinghe before replying: "I bought it all, Qinghe just brought the barbecue grill over today, so should we go to sea together to get some ingredients?" ”

"Okay, okay, brother, I'm going to take a big boat." Zhang Wu was the first to respond.

He has been arranged by Zhang Ze to study, but today happens to be at home on Saturday.

"I'm going too." Zhang Qing then said.

Zhang Ze waved his hand with a smile: "Go all, bring the grill over, as well as the fishing rod and the few knives I customized, let's go." ”

For being able to go to sea on a big boat, not only a few small ones in the family, but even the eldest Zhang's mother has some expectations.

In less than a year, her family was originally the poorer group in the village, but they moved to the city in a blink of an eye, and her son even bought a big boat.

Sometimes when she wakes up in the morning, she looks at her room and feels like she is dreaming.

Bring the tools you need, pots and pans, condiments, and side dishes Zhang Ze plans to buy them now.

Later, he also specially called a tricycle with a grill, Tong Shuyao sat in the back seat of him, and Zhang's mother sat on the tricycle and watched the driver, so as not to let others kidnap the grill.

Several other people sat on the bicycles of the three Tong brothers, Zhang Wu sat on the bar in front of Tong Yuanhang, and the few people who had just ridden back rode to the dock again.

After a while, they came to the dock, because they had been waiting on the road just now, so Zhang Ze was not far behind, and Tong Shuyao was holding the things he had just bought in his arms.

Several people were excited and excited when they saw the fifteen-meter fishing boat that Tong Yuanhang pointed out to them.

Although there are quite a lot of people, it seems very empty after getting on the boat, and it is enough to go to sea and drive a boat this time.

The others came on board first with tools and bicycles, Tong Yuanhang went to buy coal and matches, and Zhang Ze went to buy diesel.

Fifty litres of diesel is not a hundred, but is actually equivalent to about eighty-four litres.

It doesn't seem like much to add to the ship, but it's not a problem at all to get to a place close to it.

He went to the petrol station and learned that the current price of diesel is 5 cents and 71 liters, and 50 liters is 47 yuan and 8 cents.

Although the harvest of going to sea will increase after buying a large ship, the corresponding cost will also increase a lot.

Tong Shuyao knew that he was going to buy a boat, and he had been weaving nets at home recently, weaving a Korean net for him, and doing his best to contribute to the family.

The 84-liter diesel gas station helps to deliver directly to the wharf, and the main distance is not far, and most of the large fishing boats on this side of the wharf buy oil from this gas station.

After adding all the diesel, Zhang Ze carried the bicycle to the boat, stacked them with Tong Yuanhang, and tied them tightly with ropes, so that the fishing boat would not fall down with the waves.

"Toot~" A high-pitched whistle sounded, and the engine of Zhang Ze's fishing boat started.

Zhang Wu stood by and looked at him curiously, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing him move, he asked strangely: "Brother, aren't you going to drive the boat?" ”

"The engine should be warmed up first, that is, it should be turned on for a while." Zhang Ze explained.

"Oh." Zhang Wu nodded, looking clear.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing slapped him lightly on the head without hesitation: "What are you pretending, do you understand?" ”

"Who said I didn't understand!" Zhang Wu looked back angrily and glared at this sister, who usually didn't let herself at all.

"Then tell me, what do you mean by what my brother said." Zhang Qing clasped her hands to her chest.

"That's it. It's just that you don't understand! Zhang Wu hesitated and scratched his head, he really didn't understand, he didn't even know what the engine was.

Zhang Qing spread her hands: "Didn't my brother say it?" It is necessary to open for a while, and the engine needs to be warmed up! ”

Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to answer like this, he always felt that something was wrong but he didn't know how to refute it, this confused look made the surrounding group of people laugh out loud.

Zhang Ze also started the fishing boat funny, the vibration of the engine became more obvious, and the fishing boat slowly began to retreat and slowly withdrew from the dock.

"Sister, sister-in-law, let's go outside to see the sea." Seeing that the boat had finally moved, Zhang Qing took Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qian's hands and ran out of the wheelhouse.

Zhang Qinghe was also very interested in the scenery outside and walked out.

Zhang's mother was not in the wheelhouse, but went into the cabin to look around for her son's accommodation after going to sea in the future.

There is a small space behind the wheelhouse where the captain can lie down and rest.

The cabins are also fully furnished, with a kitchen, dining room, sleeping room, and a small toilet.

These are all things that small wooden hull boats do not have, and they are also the advantages of iron boats.

And the iron boat can continue to be heightened, but Zhang Ze considered that he would mainly focus on fishing in the future, and there were not many people who took him out to sea together, so he didn't think about increasing the height.

The Tong family's boat is estimated to be four people, three brothers plus the father-in-law, basically enough manpower.

After the fishing boat left the dock, Zhang Ze turned around and slowly accelerated to economic speed.

After more than twenty minutes, he spotted a small island in the distance, and drove his boat to that side.

The barbecue grill was brought, garlic and peppers were bought, and how could I do it without some oyster scallops.

Today is a small tide, the weather is good, the wind and waves on the sea are relatively calm, and the boat does not shake much.

Several people on the deck may have not been excited, and none of them were seasick, which made Zhang Ze a little surprised, although he was not dizzy when he took the boat for the first time.

After a while, Zhang's mother came out of the cabin and saw that her daughters were on the deck, and she also approached with great interest.

The island in the distance looked quite close, but it actually took another twenty minutes to get there.

After getting closer, this uninhabited island is not small, it is one-third the size of Lumen Island.

The island is already a little green, and the vegetation is expected to be very dense in the summer.

After going around the island for half a circle, I was lucky enough to find a very small sandy beach, estimated to be only seven or eight meters wide.

But that's not the point, the point is that there are many reefs next to it, and there will be all kinds of shellfish oysters in the reef area, and you can also find a lot of crabs and conchs, which is a good place to catch the sea.

"Ah Hang, I'll put the boat close to the reef where I can land, you take them over, and I'll fish on the boat." The boat couldn't dock, so Zhang Ze could only stay on the ship.

Fortunately, there is a small platform at the bow of the boat, and it is very convenient to climb up and land on the reef.

"Okay." Tong Yuanhang nodded to show that he understood, and when he was about to go out, Zhang Ze thought of something again and hurriedly said: "By the way, remember to pick up some shells and conch shells and the like for me, and I will be used as bait." ”

Tong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he had not prepared the bait in a hurry, so he agreed and left the cockpit and waited for Zhang Ze's bow to lean on a reef that could be landed, climbed up and stood up, and then stepped over.

When he stood firm, he took the rest of the people one by one.

After everyone went up, Zhang Ze drove the fishing boat back slightly, waiting for Tong Yuanhang to send the bait.
