He looked at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, sighed inwardly, and took the first step to step into the sunshine.
The others followed immediately behind, asking questions as they walked.
"Since we have to wait for three days, then we can all stay on the boat and wait for news?"
Ye Yaodong immediately stopped again and started thinking seriously. He now said that he had invited 18 people on the boat. Originally, 5 of them were not from his side. After everyone took their places at night, only one of them was from their town.
, and stayed on his ship for the time being.
Before things come to an end, they stay on the boat and work hard to get enough to eat and drink.
If there is a turnaround, if he can get back to their ship, there will be no need to bother him in the future. If the result is not ideal, he can only be sent to the town when he returns home, and then he will be given another sum.
Shipping fee.
In total, there were 19 of him, sleeping on the deck and eating and drinking on the boat. It was not good for the locals to point fingers. It was acceptable for a short period of two or three days, but I was afraid that the matter would not be resolved so quickly.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a guest house and open two large stores. I'll spend the next few days and wait until the results come out. Anyway, it's impossible for us to leave until the results come out."
"You still have to spend money to stay in a guest house..."
"It's up to you. If there aren't many people on board, you can just make do with it for a few days. If there are a lot of people here, I'd better arrange two large shops. With so many people, the people coming and going on the shore are all locals.
It doesn’t look good for fishermen to keep pointing fingers at others.”
It only cost one or two yuan a day, and he could still accept it after staying for a few days. Food and drink cost more than accommodation, so many mouths were opened, but at least half of the people ran on the boat when they ran out, and half of the supplies were left.
, no need to spend money.
He didn't lose any money. Fortunately, he also earned 10,000 yuan a few days ago, so he already has a guarantee.
Aguang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Forget it here, there were originally 10 people, but now there are only 6 left. The cabin on the Harvest is enough to sleep, so we won't lie down on the deck."
"It doesn't matter that there are only a few of us..."
Several other people looked at each other and shook their heads.
None of them had earned much money, so they couldn't afford to spend money to stay in a guest house. The number of people on the ship was also lost, so there weren't that many. It didn't matter if they just sat on the deck and slept in the night.
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. They slept on the boat if they liked it.
"Then do you want to go back first, or wait for me and then go there together?"
"Let's go back first. The morning has almost passed. Everyone on the dock is probably impatient. Let's go back and send a message first."
"That's okay, then you go back first and I'll ask for directions."
After saying that, he walked towards the locals who were sitting in the shade by the roadside to enjoy the coolness. Aguang also trotted after him, "I'll go with you. They go back to report the news first."
"good."
Ye Yaodong returned to the pier half an hour later than them. However, when he returned to the pier, he found that most of the boats were missing? There were only a few boats in his group.
Aguang also discovered it.
"Why are there so many people on the boat?"
"Go up and ask."
In an instant, he thought, wouldn't the missing fishing boat rush to the trench to salvage it?
When they got on the boat and asked about it, it turned out to be exactly what he thought.
Half of the fish boats were out fishing for jellyfish. Some hurried away after they left, while others waited and watched. After waiting for a while, they impatiently followed them when they didn't come back for a long time.
Some of them felt reassured and hurried there after Xiao Azheng and the others came back and knew that they had contacted the chief of the Coast Guard here for help.
"The horse riding in the Gobi... is a real dog..."
"We were also anxious to death. Seeing them running away one by one, but you didn't come back, so we didn't dare to move."
"I'm really good at picking up the slack. After both sides were hurt, we ran back and forth to solve the problem, while they ran to pick up the slack. It's really good." Ye Yaodong laughed angrily.
The boatmen on the ship also cursed and said that they were too immoral.
"This matter hasn't been resolved yet, and I can't guarantee that it will be released. Every damn person is afraid that they will make less money. It's okay if we lose people, but we can't do it if we lose money?" A Guang also scolded across a boat.
.
Some people also said sarcastically: "It's not me who was arrested. I came here just to make money. If you don't make money, you won't get anything for such a good opportunity."
Ah Zheng shouted at them: "Let's go quickly. We can't take advantage of those bastards. They ditched us and went to salvage secretly while we were on the phone to solve the problem."
Xiaoxiao was also holding his rice bowl while eating and shouting: "Yes, we quickly followed. We ran three at the beginning, and four or five more after that. After we came back to report the results in the first half hour, we ran five or six more.
We are the only ones left now, so hurry up and don't give them any advantage."
"Let's go, let's go..."
Ye Yaodong also immediately ordered others to prepare to leave the shore, and climbed into the cockpit himself.
Anyway, we are now waiting for the results. Since we have already asked for help, and as I said just now, there are few people to talk to, so his father is probably fine. He only needs to protect his father and his boatman, and the others should peel off their skins.
Let them shed their skin.
The remaining boats next to them also started moving immediately, so they couldn't give others any advantage.
This prefecture-level city was further away from the trench. They drove out in a hurry, and it took them two hours to get there.
When we arrived, it turned out that all the boats in their village were fishing in a big way. It seemed that they had forgotten the embarrassing situation last night. Everyone was smiling and sweating profusely and enjoying it.
There are also a few local boats inside. Some of them ran fast during the shootout yesterday and escaped, so they can still be salvaged today.
Looking at the boats filled with all kinds of buckets, I realized that they had been missing for half a day and were cheaper than the local boats.
Today, there are more jellyfish than in the past few days. There are a lot of jellyfish floating on the sea, but there are only a dozen boats fishing there. This time, there is no shortage of fish.
When the local fishing boats saw that so many of their boats had arrived at once, and the iconic big boats Harvest and Dongsheng also appeared, they were immediately panicked.
They had just had a fierce fight yesterday, and now there were so many foreign ships all of a sudden. There were only a few local ships now, and they were all scared.
And their boats also have a bit of a bad taste, specifically squeezing next to local fishing boats to grab goods, just not to make it easy for them.
The local fishing boats knew that they all had guns, so they were at a disadvantage now and did not dare to fight head-on. In addition, after this round of salvage, they had a full harvest on board. After one boat escaped early, other fishing boats
They all wanted to leave immediately.
Otherwise, like yesterday, they would fight to the death and no one would be able to make a profit. What's more, today they have fewer people and fewer ships, so they will only suffer the consequences.
As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived at the place, he was busy assigning other people to the small boats. There was no time to look after the fishing boat that had escaped. The others had already been attracted by the swarms of jellyfish, and it was too late to salvage them. There was no time to look after the fishing boats.
Those locals.
Now there are only 19 people left on his boat, which is a serious shortage of manpower. A small boat can be assigned one experienced person. Most of the remaining 9 people have little experience. 4 were rowed to No. 002, and 5 stayed on the Dongsheng.
.
Everyone is busy grabbing jellyfish on the sea.
I've been here for so many days, but I didn't expect that it was only after a big battle that I started fishing in large quantities with peace of mind.
Those jellyfish who were clamoring that the facts were inconsistent with the rumors two days ago, now looked at the entire sea, became excited. If what happened yesterday had not happened, they would probably be happier.
After making money, when going back, some fishing boats came over and said with smiles: "There are really so many, there should be more tomorrow, right? It's an advantage for us..."
Ye Yaodong mocked: "I'm giving you an advantage. After I've dealt with everything in one pot, I'll run around and deal with it for you. You can make a lot of money here, and you can make money comfortably."
The other party's face was full of embarrassment, "Hehe...hehe... Isn't it just waiting there if you don't want to? Save some time, and you will know when you go back."
After saying that, he immediately left and it was shameless to stay any longer.
After Ye Yaodong glanced at it with disgust, he went to watch the boat move the cargo.
One of the more troublesome things here than other fishing boats is that when they get to the place, they have to assign people to the small boats and let the small boats row into the jellyfish pile to salvage the jellyfish.
And now that we are going back, we have to wait for small boats to come from all directions, carry all the goods to the big boat, and then tie the fish boat behind the big boat and wait to tow them back together.
Although it was a little troublesome, the harvest was gratifying. The cargo that emerged from the trench today was enough for more than a dozen of their boats to salvage. If there were two or three more fishing boats, they would probably be able to barely catch enough.
If we wait until tomorrow, the number of jellyfish will probably double again, and it will almost enter the peak season.
After the Harvest was salvaged, Aguang drove back first. He also had to contact the factory to come to the city to harvest.
Almost all the other boats were gone, and the Dongsheng was at the end. However, the Dongsheng was fast and overtook other fishing boats during the journey. It even overtook them and arrived at the dock before dark.
"We will come here early in the morning tomorrow. We can't afford cheap locals and other boats. They are so stupid..."
"It's nothing. Fortunately, our ship didn't suffer much..."
"There are just too few people, so we can't kill people on the boat. We have to fish and kill them. It's a big loss..."
"When we sell it later, let's take a look at how much the other boats sold for. There are three boats following Adong. As soon as Adong left, they immediately went to sea, and everyone in the family didn't want them..."
"Just let them earn more money to redeem people..."
Everyone on the deck was cursing.
Ye Yaodong was also thinking about the problem of the lack of people. There were 15 people in the town who got in with them yesterday, but he only had one on the boat, so while he was waiting on the shore to sell jellyfish, he put the man in the town by the neck and put him in the corner.
Go talk.
He said it nicely. All the boatmen on the ship were paid, and everyone did the same work. There was no reason why men should not be paid, so he decided to pay him the same wages as other boatmen on the ship.
As long as you go out to sea to catch jellyfish, you will be paid, and when you return, they will be delivered to the town for free.
Of course, if the jellyfish are not salvaged, there will naturally be no wages, but food and accommodation are included. Originally, they were also among the team. Without everyone to take them in, they would have nowhere to go.
The man was also very happy. Originally, if something like this happened, he didn't expect to earn money and go home. What he wanted was to work for free, have food and accommodation, and return home safely.
After all, everyone else who was traveling with him is now saying that they will either be shot or have to serve 10 or 20 years in prison. Compared with others, if he can go back safely, he will already burn high incense and Mazu will bless him.
Now that I can still earn the same salary, it is really a piece of cake falling from the sky.
And he had also seen what happened in the morning. The whole village had to rely on Ye Yaodong to find connections, praying to save others from coming out. It was much better to follow him than to follow other people or follow the original ship.
Ye Yaodong also expressed his sorrow appropriately, saying that he was currently seriously short of manpower.
The man immediately patted his chest and promised that he would go and get other people he knew well to work for him. As long as they had the same treatment, they would all come over without saying anything.
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder with satisfaction. The problem of manpower shortage seemed to be solved immediately.
The remaining people in the town just filled his shortage of manpower.
The man was very active. While everyone was selling goods, he went to convince all the 15 people who had sneaked into their town, and they all came to Ye Yaodong's boat together.
After learning that Ye Yaodong had booked two more guest houses in Datongpu, he was even more happy that he had made the right decision.
After Ye Yaodong finished selling the goods, he returned to the boat with a bag of money. As a result, people on other boats came over and said that he had taken all the people in the town and there were not enough people working on their respective boats.
Originally, less than half of the crew was missing yesterday, and the locals who sneaked in were not enough to make up for the loss. Fortunately, these locals did not dare to ask for extravagant wages. They just wanted to stay on the ship and work to pay for their meals and send them home.
Now that they have all been poached by him, there are fewer people working on other ships, and everyone is very dissatisfied.
Ye Yaodong snorted in his heart. They were only allowed to stab him in the back, right?
He smiled and crossed his arms on his chest, "They want to work on my ship, not me to find them. If you are short of people, can you also give them a salary and ask them if they are willing to stay?"
On your boat."
"We agreed to work for us in exchange for food..."
"But they don't want to do it anymore."
"If you don't give them wages..."
"It is natural to be paid for work. All the boatmen on my ship are paid, and no one works for free. Now when we are short of manpower, people who are not invited by me, since they are also helping me to earn money,
Of course, I also have to pay wages. They also spread the word among themselves, and then they came over to work for me. I have no reason not to accept it, because I am also short of people."
Everyone was at a loss for words, but they were unwilling to pay wages. Originally, it was said that there would be no money, but suddenly they had to pay a lot of wages, and everyone had a gap.
After all, the people in their village are not sure whether they will be released directly. If they are released, they will immediately have more manpower.
If he hadn't been released, there would have been more commotion when he got back, and he would probably have to pay a sum of money in compensation.
"Then what if we don't have enough people..."
"Yes, there weren't enough people in the first place, but now they all come to you..."
"You can also pay a higher price to dig it back at night..."
After Ye Yaodong said these words, he turned around and went to the cabin, not bothering to listen to their chatter. He was completely bored with this group of people now and just wanted to survive this period of fishing and get his father out.
After locking the money in the iron box under the bed board as usual, he thought about the personnel arrangements for the night.
By the time he returned to the deck, everyone else had gone back to their boats.
They were reluctant to part with the money, but they thought they should be able to make do with it.
Ye Yaodong told everyone about the sleeping arrangements at night. There are currently 18+15 people in total, and there are 6 beds on the ship. He plans to sleep in the cabin at night, along with a few familiar and trustworthy boatmen.
Anyway, there were beds to lie down on, and it didn't matter that they had to get up and set off when it was still dark in the early hours of the morning and the dock was the noisiest.
Then, after dinner, the remaining 27 people were taken to the guest house to sleep in a big bunk. A dozen people slept in a big bunk horizontally, and it was barely possible to squeeze in.
The jellyfish blood left over today can be boiled on the boat, dried on the boat overnight, and then exposed to the sun for half a day tomorrow and then put away, so it won't be a big problem.
Even eating with so many people is a problem. They have to take turns to eat and keep cooking. There is no way. There has been no news from there in the past few days, so we can only arrange this temporarily.
Once he knows for sure that his father can be released and they can continue fishing here, he will rent a house again.
I don’t know what the situation is yet, so I have to keep everything simple first.
All the staff obeyed his arrangements, and no one had any objections.
Ye Yaodong waited for the two groups of people to finish their meal first, then immediately took them to the guest house, telling them that they had to come to the dock at three in the morning, and left them alone.
It is difficult to manage such a large group of people, and they also have to arrange food and drink, which is the most cumbersome thing.
After finishing the meal and instructing the people on the boat to finish all the work, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. He also took the boat away from the shore and docked in the middle of the sea.
There was so much jellyfish blood on the boat that he couldn't worry about being next to a bunch of fishing boats. Although he went late today, he caught more than everyone else, two or three times as much as some people.
After all, there are two large and ten small boats, with 12 boats. The number of small boats is a little less due to lack of manpower, but whoever allows him to have more boats, they are still better than people when they are gathered together.
With so many boats today, a total of 667 yuan and 36 cents were sold. More than 1/3 of the number belonged to the Dongsheng, small wooden boats also accounted for 1/3, and trawlers accounted for the smallest number.
When the goods were moved onto the ship, he specially asked people to stack them separately so that he could see the quantity at a glance.
The jellyfish blood received can be sold for two to three hundred yuan by then.
When other fishing boats were selling goods, he also looked at them. The boats that went by in the morning sold for more than 300 yuan, and the boats that went by later also sold for two or three hundred yuan.
The fish boat that went with him later sold a little less, only one or two hundred.
When Ye Yaodong was lying on his bed, he also cleared his mind and thought about what he had gained today.
It was already past 2 o'clock when we got there in the afternoon, and the actual fishing time was only more than three hours. And because he had so many boats, the harvest in these few hours was equivalent to what the fishing boats harvested in a whole day last year.
Thinking that there will be more fish on the sea tomorrow, and there will be fewer fishing boats, I feel a little hot in my heart now, but I think that his father hasn't come out yet, and the heat is extinguished.
Now we can only try to salvage for two more days while no other fishing boats know about that place, but it will probably spread more widely later...
The locals who ran away in advance today will definitely not watch the trench being occupied by them. They will definitely tell each other and call all the boats they know from the surrounding villages to go over and continue fishing boldly.
I just don’t know if the subsequent development will turn into what happened yesterday evening.
Moreover, I don’t know if these boats will report to the Public Security Bureau when they return, saying that their fishing boats are still there.
However, if you want to go out to catch them, you may have to file a report and apply for the Coast Guard to go out. With Zeng Weimin here, they probably won't go out to catch them, and they will probably let them go.
He put his hands behind his head and thought wildly, but he didn't come up with a particularly good idea. He could only take one step at a time and see what he could do as he saw it. Anyway, they would have more ships now.
Now I just hope to make more money in these few days. There will be more local fishing boats in the future. At worst, they will just go fishing on the sea. After a few days, there will probably be more fish on the sea.
Money is hard to make...
Thinking about this, he also fell asleep with the sound of waves mixed with snoring in his ears.
In the early morning of the second day, he woke up immediately after hearing the roar of machines in his ears. There were also rustling sounds from other beds.
He shined a flashlight on his watch and saw that it was early 3 o'clock. He immediately sat up and knocked on the board of the boat, "Get up."
I immediately went to wash up, and then looked around at the sea. There were a bunch of flashlights shining everywhere, but there were no ships out to sea yet.
He immediately went to the cockpit and drove the boat back to the shore. The twenty or so people who stayed at the guest house yesterday were already waiting on the shore. When they saw his boat docking, they immediately boarded the boat.
Other fishing boats were also busy there, and most of them got up when they heard the movement on the shore. Some were impatient and had already driven away with their boats. After all, the dock is further away from the trench, and the delay on the road will be longer.
After Ye Yaodong picked up the people, he ignored the others and drove the boat away. The boatmen on their boat also prepared breakfast in an orderly manner.
Pot after pot of porridge was cooked continuously, and two pots of porridge were cooked in advance last night, for fear that breakfast would not be cooked in time and would not be enough.
After waiting at the place, everyone happened to have a full meal, and the pot was not idle. After cooking breakfast, we immediately arranged to cook lunch. After all, there were so many people, we had to cook constantly, and we could only eat one bite when the time came.
of.
It was completely bright now, and Ye Yaodong saw the locals who were more active than them and had already fished there first. There were twice as many local fishing boats as yesterday and they were catching up with them.
It's just that it was early in the morning, and there weren't many jellyfish floating up there. Fortunately, their boats were still behind, a little far away, and they hadn't arrived yet.
After switching to the dock in a prefecture-level city, they had to spend twice as much time on the road as before, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After he arrived, he immediately asked them to find their own companions and go to the boat in twos and twos. He divided the remaining people into five people and went to the trawler, and asked them to remember today's arrangements for the next few days.
If anyone comes to fish, just let them get on the boat.
He kept 8 people on the Dongsheng, 4 divided, 4 stationed on both sides to salvage, and occasionally one person could be freed up to cook, which was just right.
When the local fishing boats saw him coming with a bunch of small boats, they thought he was easy to bully. They wanted to replicate the scene where they were bullied yesterday, so they came around him and deliberately tried to steal his goods.
He snorted coldly, raised the gun he had kept by his side, and gestured at them without saying a word.
There were obviously not so many boats yesterday, but today there were 17 or 18. Maybe those boats yesterday were called from other places.
When he did this, they immediately became wary and did not dare to grab it, for fear that it would turn into a gun battle on the sea the day before yesterday.
The outcome of the accident the day before yesterday was witnessed by the locals. No one was lucky, everyone was arrested.
But they are a little unwilling to just let these hateful outsiders rob their local resources. Who doesn't have a gun?
Some of their ships also learned the lessons from the previous few days and yesterday, and were well prepared. Those who had guns on hand also took out their guns and pointed them at them.
At this time, the large group of fishing boats from behind also came over one after another, and everyone turned their eyes towards the fishing boats approaching in the distance.
It only takes a moment to go from far to near.
The fishing boats that came over looked at the confrontation here and there, and they all drove to the side of the Dongsheng. Those with guns all took out their guns and pointed them at them.
When there are enemies, of course, we should all be open to the outside world.
The two parties didn't speak at first, but when the fishing boats on both sides seemed to be in a good fight, they started to whisper.
After Ye Yaodong saw all his fishing boats coming, he felt more at ease and took off the hat on his head.
The boatmen on the ship also imitated him and took off their hats.
The eyes of the people on the opposite fishing boat immediately widened.
"What's going on with so many bald heads..."
"Ah, the people on the boat over there are also bald..."
"Over there...there...are all...horse riders...these people..."
"No wonder they are so arrogant and dare to come to our territory to salvage... It turns out... are they all guilty? No wonder they are so fierce, and they all carry guns..."
"Damn it, these outsiders are really so bad... No wonder my old cousin told me to bring a gun today..."
"Yesterday I heard someone say that all of them are bald and they were released from prison. I still don't believe it. How could there be so many of them..."
"what to do……"
The comments on the other side followed the sea breeze and reached the ears of everyone on the Dongsheng. Everyone on the Dongsheng had pretended to be fierce, intending to confirm their guesses.
Some people also whispered in a low voice: "I scared them to death. More boats came today than yesterday, and they have caught up with us..."
"I was scared to death just now, now it's their turn to scare them to death..."
"Everyone's expressions should be on point..."
As soon as I sneezed twice in a row, I realized that everyone was scolding me. There were not enough 7,000 words in the following paragraphs. I was afraid of missing the appointment, so I copied a paragraph and replaced it.
Chapter completed!
