Each fishing boat saw that the people in front had bald heads, and took off their hats one after another.
The wind is strong at sea, so even though it is early in the morning, when the sun has just risen, everyone is still wearing hats. In July, the sun is also very fierce, so they basically keep their hats on their heads.
Except for taking off their hats and using their bald heads when they ran onto the boat the evening before yesterday, their big bald heads had not yet been exposed. It was originally planned to scare them at the critical moment.
When there was a conflict before, their side was fine. They were relatively restrained at first, but later they went back early, and they didn't catch up with the situation where the two sides were fighting to the death.
"What should we do? Are we really going to start a fight?"
"We have just been fishing steadily for a long time..."
Everyone pretended to be fierce, but their hearts were a little nervous. They had all seen and heard the tragedy of the past two days. Half of them were still in the police station and had not come out. At this time, no one could
Will be so high-spirited.
The other party was also whispering there, and they were still talking with their backs to the wind, and some of it was carried down the wind to their ears.
The fishing boats that came behind them were all behind or beside them. Ye Yaodong's Dongsheng was the closest to them and could be said to be a target.
But now everyone is in a stalemate there, no one dares to move rashly, and they are all weighing the pros and cons. These locals are probably also afraid, and they probably don't want to get into trouble again.
He thought for a while, cleared his throat again, and then shouted to the other party: "Hello everyone..."
The locals almost couldn't hold back their defenses. The expressions on their faces were shocked and disbelieving, and they looked at him in surprise with their mouths wide open.
The boatmen on their boat also turned to look at him as if they were seeing a ghost, and their eyes bulged out.
So polite?
At this time, is it appropriate to say hello?
I usually open my mouth every day, tmd, tmd, as if I can’t speak without saying tmd. Now I can still open my mouth to say hello?
In the past two days, I have been swearing and swearing at these locals...
Ye Yaodong stood up straight, put away the gun, and shouted to the other side with a smile, "Hello everyone, we don't know each other until we fight. Let's talk and have a chat. Don't hold the gun at all times, it's scary."
"You took it first."
"Aren't I scared? Who asked you to have so many ships and all of them surrounded me? My life is at stake."
The people on the other side's boat all looked at each other, but none of them put down the guns in their hands.
Ye Yaodong smiled again and said: "I know we are outsiders, but we all believe in the same belief. Mazu is one family in the world. We are all fishermen blessed by Mazu, so we are all one family and should not be distinguished by region."
"We are all fishermen. We should know the hardships of us fishermen. We are exposed to wind and sun, and we have to go to sea to endure natural and man-made disasters. It is not easy for everyone. We are all trying to make a living. If we had this resource locally, we would not
I would travel so far just to have a full meal."
"And we are all peace-loving and honest people, unlike the group of people a few days ago. We are all reasonable. If we are really unreasonable and start shooting from the beginning, everyone will immediately do the same as the previous two days.
Beat him to death."
The people on the other side looked at each other in confusion at first, thinking that what was said was quite pleasant, but when they heard the word "honest person", their expressions almost broke.
"You guys are bald, how can you be honest..."
"It's just that you guys look much worse than the group of people two days ago..."
The other party kept talking about the word "honest person" and uttered it in various ways.
Ye Yaodong immediately interrupted them so that they would not miss the important point.
"Let's not say that we are honest or dishonest. We can't just look at our appearance. We have to talk about the facts. The fact is that we didn't do anything, right..."
"What's wrong? You guys bullied a few of our boats yesterday and drove us away..."
Ye Yaodong interrupted their discussion, "Did I do it? Was it me who bullied you yesterday? It wasn't me, right? My boat is so big, and the logo is easy to recognize. Everyone should be able to recognize it."
"But you bullied me today, so our back-and-forth can be considered even, right? Our fishing boat bullied you yesterday, and then you bullied me again today, so let's treat it as even.
no?"
Seeing them talking about each other, he felt that it was inconvenient to just shout if they were too far away, so he said again: "Is it okay if my boat comes closer to talk? I don't mean any harm, we just want to get closer and talk.
, not to mention you won’t suffer any loss even if you have a gun in your hand.”
"no."
"Don't move..."
"Okay, let's put it this way." He responded helplessly, looking even more scared than he was.
"Look, there are more and more jellyfish floating on the sea now, and there will only be more in the next few days. If we are beaten to a bloody head, we will be arrested and taken to the police station together, and then someone else will get the advantage.
"
"You think, even though you locals are getting an advantage, but if it doesn't fall into your hands, you are still suffering a loss, right? Can we all coexist peacefully? You fish for yours, and we fish for ours. We can't afford to conflict with each other.
.”
"Anyway, no one can harvest such a large amount. In this way, you benefit and we benefit, and no one has to beat out their brains."
"If we fight to death, it will be an advantage for others. If we are an advantage for other people, you will not be in a good place. But if we are an advantage, you can be better off and let us all make money while living together peacefully."
"Who is earning it for? At least when you are earning it for us, you can also get a benefit. We both lose. No one can get the benefit, and the benefit of others has nothing to do with you."
"Whether it's us or other locals, to you people, they are all others, and whatever falls into your pocket is yours, don't you think so?"
"The Mazus of the world are one family, and the fishermen of the world share the same suffering. In the final analysis, we don't have any deep hatred! You all still hate the locals and hate them, and the cheap others are not good for you either."
"Everyone is evenly matched now. You have a dozen boats, and we also have a dozen boats. Let's coexist and salvage together peacefully. Anyway, we really can't finish it all, you see."
Ye Yaodong pointed at the sea surface again. Originally, there were not many floating in the early morning, but they were in a stalemate for a while without salvage. They were all bubbling, looking colorful and very beautiful.
It's such a stark contrast compared to the vast blue sea in the distance.
One is vast and scattered, while the other is crowded and dense.
The balance in the other party's heart also tilted, and they all whispered to each other again, and then the other party's boat conveyed its message to other fishing boats behind them who could not hear what was going on.
None of them are stupid, they all know what is best after weighing the pros and cons.
The events of the previous two days also left alarm bells in their hearts, so they were in a stalemate just now, not only because they were afraid, but also because they were worried that if they fired, it would cause a big fuss, and no one would be safe, and everyone would have to be shot.
In addition, some of them were involved in it the day before yesterday. They knew that their side had left early that day and did not participate.
Just now, Ye Yaodong held the banner of Mazu and talked there, but he couldn't convince them. He could only lower their temper a little, but the interests were involved, and the relationship was huge.
After both sides suffer, no one is willing to take advantage of others. If we coexist peacefully, we can both benefit.
Ye Yaodong felt that he should buy a big loudspeaker when he went back so that he could shout easily. Although the distance was too far, it would be impossible to shout, but having a loudspeaker would save a lot of trouble at this time.
If there is a speaker, the meaning can be conveyed more broadly and heard more clearly.
Seeing that they were conveying their meaning back and forth, they could no longer hold the guns so firmly. Ye Yaodong also turned around and motioned for them to put down the guns, and then shouted to each other again.
"Let's put down our guns first. We don't have any deep grudges in the first place. The sea area is so vast, and the sea is not personal. The jellyfish flood season is a gift from the sea to us fishermen. As long as everyone involved can benefit, then isn't it?
Are everyone happy?"
"Anyway, no one can occupy such a large quantity. We have all put down our guns, so you can put down your guns too. Let's live together peacefully and each salvage what we have."
"The great leader said that only by making money together can we achieve common prosperity. You don't want to lose everything and lose your life, right? The group of people who were involved in the shootout the day before yesterday probably had to be shot, even if they didn't
If he is shot, he will probably have to sit in jail, and when he is released, half of his body will probably be buried in the ground."
"Money is important, but life is even more important. Now we can save our lives and make a lot of money at the same time by coexisting peacefully."
The other party kept whispering to each other, and there was no one who had the backbone to speak. They all listened to Ye Yaodong's insistence.
However, the effect was also very obvious. His words also softened the words of the other party, so they just went back and forth to tell each other.
Now that he was talking, all the guns were put away one after another, and then someone started to speak.
It should be the boss of the boat closest to him on the opposite side. He also said to him in broken Mandarin: "We think what you said is reasonable. There is no difference between letting your fishing boat salvage and letting other local fishing boats salvage. It looks like here There’s no way to catch it all.”
"The conflict in the past few days was also because there were too many boats on your side and they were grabbing too much, so everyone was unhappy and started fighting. After all, these jellyfish are also in our waters, and you are outsider."
Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief after waiting for his response, "At that time, there were too many monks and too few people, so we could only plunder. But it's different now. Now the whole sea is covered with it, and we can each take what we have."
"Otherwise we won't get a good deal, and you won't get a good deal either. We have the same fishing boats and the same weapons. If we fight, a few people will die. I don't want to die, so you don't want to die either, right? I don't want to go to jail, and you don't want to go to jail either. Bar."
The group of people on the other side frowned.
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "So let's coexist peacefully. If we have money, we can all make it together. Everyone will be happy. There is no need to fight to the death. You will suffer a loss and benefit others."
"But let's not tell others. Just salvage our ships. Anyway, our ships are not much different from each other now. If more ships join, we will benefit less."
"If you agree, then we can salvage each other now without interfering with each other. We can make money together and everyone will be happy."
Everyone's faces looked relaxed, and no one wanted anything to happen.
"Okay, we just told the other ships that as long as you don't rob us, we will each salvage our own. This much cargo is enough for everyone. As long as you don't come over and rob us, we won't rob you either. Yes, you are not allowed to call other ships."
"We don't have any other boats. They are all here. The others have been detained by the Public Security Bureau. Now that the matter has not been resolved, there are no other boats. Don't bring a bunch of boats over. It will harm others but not yourself. After all, it will not be beneficial to you if you make a lot of money for others, and it will only cause more disputes."
"Okay, then it's settled, you go over there, we'll be here, everyone does their own thing."
Ye Yaodong snapped his fingers and it was done.
He tilted his head slightly, but still kept his eyes on them to prevent them from destroying the smoke bomb, and then told the boatmen beside him to ask the fishing boats behind to step back and let each of them fish their own. Don't cause trouble. We don't provoke them, and they don't provoke us.
The boatmen also breathed a sigh of relief and went to convey the meaning of peaceful coexistence.
They were also worried about a fight. The reason they came here was to make money, not to lose their lives. There were still dozens of people in the prison who had not come out, and they didn't want to risk their lives anymore.
The risk was too high. If they had known that they would be imprisoned if they came here, they would have considered not doing this job.
They are not ship bosses and can still make a lot of money. It is not worth taking such a big risk to earn wages.
Ye Yaodong watched the other party's boat slowly retreat to the side, and the boats behind him also retreated, each of them resumed salvage, but everyone was highly concentrated, staring at the other party's ship, all
When guarding against one hand, one cannot completely relax.
So does he.
Let the others drive the boat to the edge first, while he still stood on the deck staring at each other.
It wasn't until the distance became wider that everyone's tense nerves relaxed.
After Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to look at everyone who had already started working.
"Finally we can salvage with peace of mind for the time being. We have to get together like this, speak openly and reach an agreement so that we can have no worries. Otherwise, we will have to worry about our own lives all the time."
"Yes, yes, I thought we were really going to fight just now, and I was sweating in my heart."
"I thought we were going to fight again, so I was so panicked. I also thought about whether I should jump into the sea first if a fight broke out. I was also thinking about what if I was stung by jellyfish. I was hesitating whether to be shot to death or killed by a jellyfish.
Jellyfish stings to death…”
"Haha, that's good now. With such a large quantity, no one can catch it all. Why do we have to fight to death? Everyone can do their own thing."
"In the beginning, there were too many boats on our side. The locals suffered a loss and were angry. But now it's better. Everyone is about the same, so they can listen to what I have to say."
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands again, "Okay, we have reached an agreement anyway, let's do it quickly, and while we are living in peace, we can get more quickly, and this trip will not be in vain."
It won't be in vain for those people squatting in the prison.
"Yes, yes, we have a whole day today. Let's work more and get more."
"I was able to sell hundreds of dollars even if I came out so late last night. I have a whole day today and I'm sure I can make a lot of money..."
He also saw that some people were not very interested, thought for a moment, and then said: "You guys work hard. If you make a lot of money on this trip, when you go back, the red envelope will be bigger when the time comes, so just give it to the big guys."
It’s overwhelming.”
"Also, I will definitely try my best to get all the people who were captured on our ship back. Even if we spend a lot of money, we have to let everyone out. If we make more money now, we will have enough confidence to redeem them.
a little."
"We came out together, and of course we have to go back together."
Everyone cheered up after hearing this and nodded to each other.
"Yes, make more money and let A Dong find a way to get everyone back."
"Okay, don't think too much and get to work quickly."
Now everyone is at ease. Many of them have brought their families to work, or they are all familiar with each other. What they are most afraid of is that their relatives and friends will not be able to go back. Now that they have been comforted, their confidence has increased.
, and the work became more efficient.
Ye Yaodong also participated in the salvage, paying attention to the movements of other fishing boats on the sea from time to time.
After a short negotiation, everyone was calm for a while. It was true that there were too many jellyfish floating on the sea, and everyone couldn't catch them, so they couldn't care about others.
In the middle of the morning, at 9 o'clock, the capacity of other boats was also full. Everyone rowed the boats over one after another and carried all the divided jellyfish onto the Dongsheng.
Fishing Boat No. 2 also drove over after the small boats came closer one after another, and moved all the cargo on board the Dongsheng. It also picked up some empty baskets or large barrels lined with nylon bags, and exchanged the full ones for the empty ones.
Yes, continue to salvage.
The quantity was too much. This wave in the morning alone was bigger than the goods received in the evening last night. The fish warehouse was filled up. He also told the No. 2 ship by the way that he would go back to sell goods and put some goods on board.
The meals cooked in advance were moved to another boat and let them finish it later.
Although the Dongsheng is a little faster, it takes less than two hours to go there, but it takes more than three hours to go back and forth. When he makes a round trip, he will probably have to transport the goods back again.
If the quantity is small, they can pickle it with alum and salt and go back in one trip. If the quantity is large, they must transport it back and sell it while it is fresh.
When I returned to him, I also connected to the Harvest and talked about it.
Knowing that Father Pei did not plan to drive back on the Harvest, he only planned to let his stepson Lin Jianshe pick up the goods on a new ship. Anyway, Aguang was the one receiving the goods on the shore, so the ship only needed to send the goods back.
Moreover, they only salvaged two boats. The boat at Guanglin Construction was enough to haul the cargo, so there was no need to send the Harvest.
Ye Yaodong asked him to take care of his boats, and then left first. The others would ignore them and return to sell their goods at any time.
However, when everyone watched his iconic Dongsheng sailing back, they all followed him back one after another. Even some local fishing boats saw that the number was about the same and they had to go back to sell it.
Most of the fishing boats on the sea were now gone.
He didn't take away all the people on the Dongsheng, he only took 4 people with him, and left half to help on another fishing boat.
The goods received this morning were indeed very good. 12 boats worked in two directions, with nearly half more manpower than yesterday. Even the harvest of small boats has improved a lot.
Not to mention the jellyfish blood that was dried last night, a total of more than 18,000 kilograms of jellyfish were caught this morning alone. He had to haul away a truckload of goods alone.
Jellyfish heads have just started this year, and they are the ones that sell the most goods. The price is also a bit higher, they can be sold for 6 cents, and jellyfish skins are also 4 cents and 5 cents. After a period of time, when the quantity becomes more expensive, they will probably start.
The price dropped, but this time it sold for just over 800 in the morning.
The jellyfish blood last night was only dried for a short time in the morning, and it was not dry enough to be sold, so we had to continue to dry it until the evening.
While Ye Yaodong was selling goods, he also briefly chatted with A Guang about the morning's scene. A Guang was relieved after knowing that they were working together peacefully to salvage.
After he sold the goods, he immediately drove the boat back.
And the fishing boat that originally followed him came back to the shore late, and happened to pass him by. Those people were so envious, saying that his boat was big and fast, and he could even sell goods before others.
If you go back and continue salvaging in one step, the time efficiency will be much higher.
On the way back, they also had lunch, and everyone had some breathing space. When they came, everyone had to cut jellyfish on the way, but when they left, they didn't have to do anything.
He was worried about the local fishing boats on the sea, so he entrusted others to take care of his small boats. He didn't feel so relieved. After selling the goods as soon as possible, he hurried back.
On the way, he happened to meet a few local fishing boats returning. The town was closer, they returned later than him, and they were slower than him, but they were able to get out first.
When he quickly reached the trench again, it was already 1 pm. Seeing that there were no disputes among the busy fishing boats on the sea, he felt relieved. Then he drove the boat closer to the small boats and first
Collect the goods from their boat.
After collecting all the goods again, another hour had passed, and their ship had to go back again before they had time to salvage a few.
The money sold on this trip was not as much as the first trip. After all, the Dongsheng didn't participate much in the salvage and all the goods were sold on the road transporting them back and forth.
There is nothing we can do about it. If we don't transport it back early, the jellyfish will turn into water, and the loss will be even greater.
However, this trip also sold 600. The ships on the sea were sweating like rain and kept salvaging. He also heard about it when he received the goods. When everyone took turns to eat, they all knew what he said in the morning.
They are also very serious and working hard to help him earn more money so that he can have money to redeem other acquaintances. Then everyone will go back together happily and get another big red envelope by the way, so everyone
They all work hard.
It's equivalent to three trips back and forth a day, and by the time the trip returns in the evening, it's completely dark.
Everyone is a little greedy for the dark, and as long as there are still people on the sea, they are reluctant to leave. After all, they are not the only ones on the sea, but there are others.
Moreover, their round trip distance is longer now, which means the time for fishing is shorter. They are reluctant to go back until it gets dark. These fishing boats are also working together in pairs like last year, one is fishing and the other is delivering, taking turns to go back and forth, and the profits are equally divided.
On the way back, the locals had almost finished their work. It was rare to have a peaceful coexistence today, and everyone had a good harvest, and everyone had a smile on their face.
When walking back, Ye Yaodong stood on the helm and waved his hands to say hello to the nearby fishing boats.
After the other side was stunned for a moment, he also raised his hand and said hello. After all, they really didn't have any deep hatred. Today is a good start. As long as both parties keep their promises and don't interfere with each other, they can tolerate each other.
When we finally returned, it was already dark, and it was already past 7 o'clock when we arrived. This was because the Harvest and Dongsheng were fast and arrived first. The other fishing boats were still behind, and they would not be able to dock until around 8 o'clock.
shore.
Those who arrived first also sold goods first. On the last trip, the Dongsheng was briefly involved in the salvage, and the goods received were more than the one at noon, selling for 720 yuan.
He also sold the jellyfish blood he had accumulated yesterday. He accumulated more than 30 kilograms of jellyfish blood yesterday. The price of jellyfish blood has also increased this year. One kilogram can cost 12 yuan, which is one yuan more than last year. He also sold it for 365 yuan.
piece.
In total, I can earn 2,500 a day today!
Ye Yaodong took the goods list and calculated it silently in his mind. The smile on his face also brightened. The money was also after commission.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was dark and there was no one on the shore, he also calculated all the accounts from A Guang, then took them to the boat and locked them under the bed board.
The more boats there are, the greater the harvest. Last year, he only salvaged two boats there, and the daily harvest, including sea sting blood, was only about 1,000 yuan.
This was also the reason why he was reluctant to let the Dongsheng out to haul the fish. When he was not very lucky, he could only earn a hundred yuan per net, and he could only sell it for six to seven hundred yuan a day.
Half of the gas and ice expenses have to be deducted.
I went there for a week, and with average luck, I only sold three to four thousand, and I had to deduct half of the expenses.
If you stay here, you can support yourself and earn faster. When it comes to the end, you can just put the small wooden boat and the fishing boat here to make money. Then you can send the Dongsheng out to trawl, but the prerequisite is that
Only when his father comes back can he feel relieved.
As for the Harvest, he heard about it when he put down the money and sold more than 900 jellyfish blood today plus yesterday's jellyfish blood.
However, today, the Harvest has stayed on the sea and has not returned. It has been fishing uninterrupted, relying on their new ship to transport cargo. In accordance with last year's old rules, the transportation fee of 100 yuan was deducted a day.
After all, the Harvest is a partnership, and their fishing boat is owned by individuals, so all accounts must be settled clearly.
Chapter completed!
