All the goods on the beach today were picked up for free. When we came back at night, everyone dried the freshly cooked jellyfish blood.
The jellyfish blood that was delayed due to rain a few days ago was all dried up after a day of exposure to the sun. It was collected in the evening to free up space, and two sacks were collected.
Because the items are light, two bags only weigh more than 100 kilograms.
The next morning he was not in a hurry to sell. He got up early and ran directly to the beach he went to yesterday, but today was no longer as magnificent as yesterday.
The tide on the sea is still yellow, but there are no fish or shrimps jumping around, and there are no jellyfish. There is only a mess on the beach, and all the poultry from the surrounding people have come to the beach to peck at it.
The beach is littered with carcasses of fish, shrimps and crabs, as well as large tracts of stranded jellyfish dotted here and there. These jellyfish were not processed immediately after desalination and have become rotten and have not even had the chance to turn into water.
A large group of people stood on the shore, looking at the scene below and shaking their heads in regret.
"It's gone now? What a pity, so many were stranded during the night..."
"No more, I can only go back..."
"Let's go."
Not only them, there were also a large number of locals standing around. They all tasted the benefits yesterday, so they all rushed over early in the morning to see if there were any bargains to be found.
Even on the way back, we encountered a large number of people running towards the beach with tools. A kind person on the road reminded them that they had no tools today. Everyone still didn’t believe it and continued to run forward, planning to see it with their own eyes.
.
After walking for a while, everyone's noses were still filled with the fishy smell of seafood.
Today's waves seem to be quite big, and they may not be able to go back tomorrow, but Ye Yaodong is mentally prepared to wait for another two days.
Since there was nothing else to do today, he left the others to do their own thing after he returned, while he took a basket full of dried jellyfish blood, then called his father, and the two of them went to the Coast Guard Station together.
His father had specifically told him yesterday that when he went there today, he would be called and he would go over and thank the leader in person.
Zeng Weimin was also surprised when he knew that he was going back in the next two days.
"I thought that if a salvage policy was adopted to strengthen the management of the sea and make it more peaceful, you might decide to stay and salvage for a while."
Ye Yaodong explained, "I have rescued quite a lot of people. Everyone is a little scared after this incident, and they are also a little reluctant to return home. I won't need so many people at once, so I thought of bringing a few back first.
"
"Also...although corresponding salvage policies have been issued, it is hard to say whether they will be effective or how they will develop. I am going to wait and see first."
Zeng Weimin nodded, "What you said makes sense."
“When can I apply for the iron plate that allows fishing?”
"In the past two days, the document has been promulgated. It will take a week for it to be disseminated to the entire city. The document will notify you to submit an application within half a month. Otherwise, if you catch a fishing boat without a fishing plate during maritime patrol, you will have to accept a fine.
, otherwise the fishing boat will be detained.”
"Then can I apply now?"
"Okay. But aren't you going back in the next two days?"
"I can consider whether to come again. If I apply now, can I put it aside for next year?"
"No, apply once a year."
"Aren't we in Fujian Province very close to each other? It is only issued within the scope of this city. What if the fishing boats at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian encounter each other at sea? They have not received the notification..."
"Then as long as they cross the city's offshore area, they must follow the city's regulations and policies. If they are not caught, they will not be caught. If they are caught, they must follow the regulations."
"oh."
Zeng Weimin thought for a while and said: "You mentioned the establishment of a jellyfish association a few days ago. I mentioned it at the meeting the day before yesterday and it was unanimously approved. Everyone thinks this suggestion is good."
"Whether it is the Oceanic Administration, Maritime Safety Administration or Coast Guard, they cannot just focus on jellyfish. Instead, they can set up a social fishing association and officially organize public participation to facilitate the management or production-related jellyfish business."
The smile on Ye Yaodong's face deepened, "Really? I think so too. Nowadays, ocean management is quite weak, and the laws are not particularly perfect. If we set up a social association and let the people manage the organization voluntarily, can we have success?"
It should be more organized. If there are any issues, these members can participate in the discussion themselves, and then report them for approval, and then publicize them widely. This can also be more targeted."
"That's right, and you do have a lot of immigrants here. I heard before that there were over 200 people. Even if we catch them now, some of them will be injured and some will die. There will still be about a hundred people left, right?
You are also quite a force."
"So when it is established, several representatives from your side must also participate. This will also facilitate the communication between you outsiders and the locals and reduce unnecessary conflicts and contradictions."
Ye Yaodong nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "You are also thinking about it. If many people here come here to fish every year, then it is indeed better for someone to participate in the association and communicate with each other. It makes no sense that 56 ethnic groups are one family.
Our neighbors from two neighboring provinces turned against each other. Our fundamental purpose is to make money, and there is no need to lose both sides."
"Okay, you don't have any objections. If the association is formed, I will fill in your name and arrange a relevant position. If we recruit association members later, we will recruit some local fishermen from your side. It is best to be literate.
Are you literate?"
Ye Yaodong scratched his head, "Uh... I know the basic words. What kind of association is this? It won't delay fishing to make money, right?"
I don’t know why, but I made a random suggestion and he was able to arrange a position directly??
What are the benefits of this?
"Absolutely not, and it will be more conducive to your fishing. If the official has issued an order and policy, it will be issued directly to the Jellyfish Association, and then you will spread it to the fishermen around you. You can do whatever you should do on a daily basis.
If you encounter any problems, just organize and notify the meeting in advance.”
"That's good."
Father Ye mentioned it on the side, "What if we don't come back in a few days after we go back these two days?"
"Yeah, if I don't come, then it's useless for me to take a position in the Jellyfish Association?"
"It's just a preliminary establishment now, and there's nothing in it. It's okay if you put your name first. Anyway, there are flood seasons every year, so you should come here every year."
"That's not necessarily true..."
After a few years, the jellyfish here will be like squid, and they will not be able to form a large-scale flood season, and then they will be eaten and later become a large-scale breeding...
"It's hard to say what will happen now. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you put your name on it."
"Okay, anyway, let's take advantage of it first. Large-scale breeding in the future will also require specialized technology, as well as related industrial chains for production and operation..."
He muttered the latter words in a relatively low voice. Except for his father next to him, Zeng Weimin didn't hear them clearly. However, the first words sounded interesting to him and he also laughed.
"Both sides are hurting during this period. You guys are making a lot of money, right? I heard that there is a lot of goods in that trench."
Ye Yaodong laughed heartily, "It's not just us, there are also many locals. Their numbers are much larger than ours. But after that storm, everyone restrained themselves and tolerated each other, and everything has been fine."
"That's good. You have many ships and great abilities, and the people over there will probably listen to you. If the association is established, you will really have to be given a good title."
He touched his nose and said, "I don't understand this either. It's up to you. As long as it doesn't affect my money and doesn't take up too much of my time. If you don't want to do it, just pat your butt and leave."
"Well, the Jellyfish Association has passed. We still have to discuss it again. You can fill out the fishing application form now. After filling it out, if you come again, go to the Ocean Bureau to get the OEM fixing nail on the boat.
, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come over.”
Ye Yaodong took a piece of paper he took out from the desktop folder. It only required the width and type of the fishing captain and the names, ages and origins of the people involved in the fishing. There were no other requirements.
"OK."
He took the pen on the table and swiped it down to write down the names of the crew members on the Dongsheng. He left the rest undecided. Anyway, it didn't need to be very detailed. It was hard to say whether they would come or not.
Father Ye also stretched his neck at the table to watch him write, muttering in the local dialect, "It's better to know how to read and write... I used to be able to become an official if I could read, but now I didn't expect that I could be directly assigned to work...
"
Ye Yaodong ignored his father's verbosity. After filling out the form, he handed the form to Zeng Weimin, and then said that he was going to the town's public security bureau. Taking advantage of the weather finally getting better, he planned to move back the supplies he had left behind some time ago.
I stayed to disturb his work.
Father Ye also bowed like him, and thanked him for a long time in broken Mandarin mixed with Minnan dialect, and then the father and son went out.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Father Ye pulled him and asked: "What kind of association, if you are assigned a position, will you also become an official? Will you also have a stable salary and be an official?"
"You think so, do you know what a social association is? This is a non-governmental organization, who pays you a salary? You may have to pay membership fees to join."
"Ah? You're working for nothing without getting paid, so why do you come here? You're also delaying your own business."
"The name is nice, there is a title, and it is backed by the official. Although there is no salary, it may have a certain social status. However, it is definitely not available now, but there should be in the future? I want to do so much.
Well, if you find it troublesome, just don’t do it.”
Although there will not be a large-scale flood season in the future, there will still be a small flood season. In addition, there will also be large-scale breeding at that time. This kind of association will generally recruit technical personnel in the later period and vigorously develop local related breeding industries, production and processing trade, etc.
wait.
This place has a jellyfish flood season, and it is obvious that we will vigorously develop jellyfish-related industries in the future. The establishment of this association may be of some use.
Do it early now, and do it on a larger scale in the future, which cannot be underestimated.
"It's so complicated, forget it, I'm an old man who doesn't understand it. Shall we go back now?"
"Go back and call four or five people. Five or six people hire a tractor to move food to the public security bureau in the next town. The food surplus at home has bottomed out, and we are almost out of lunch. Go quickly."
"Then go back quickly."
Before they reached home, they encountered a group of their own boatmen walking on the street. The locals around them looked at them sideways and pointed. They stayed far away when they saw them. They had to turn their heads when they walked past.
Keep watching.
These days, everyone has grown a little hair, and they all have short hair, but their temperament looks particularly wretched, not like soldiers at all, and they all look around.
When I see a good-looking woman walking by, no matter whether it is a young girl or a woman, my eyes are fixed on each one, and my eyes never leave.
Ye Yaodong was disgusted when he saw it. When he walked in, he was still listening to them say that the girls in the city were so beautiful, fair and clean, and wore colorful clothes. They were much prettier than those in the countryside.
"You two, please be careful. If you stare directly at other girls like this, you won't be reported for being a hooligan. Also, here are a few people to follow me."
"Where to go?"
"I went with me to the Public Security Bureau to move supplies. Didn't I get caught running away some time ago and left some supplies behind? I'm still at the Public Security Bureau. It's been raining for the past two days and I can't move them. I have free time today to move them back. Otherwise, there won't be any rice to cook at home.
.”
"Can you still move this? Everything goes into other people's pockets..."
"Who is A Dong? If he said he could move it back, then he can definitely move it back. We have already fished out the people, so what does that little thing mean?"
"That's true, then you go... I'm scared. After staying there for so many days... now my legs feel weak when I hear the word "public security bureau".
"I'm also afraid. I don't dare to go in again. If I go in once in my life, I will die."
Ye Yaodong looked at them pushing and scolding angrily, "Coward, where did you fall? Of course you have to get up from there. Isn't moving things in the past equivalent to finding a place? Empty the contents.
Now, why don’t you feel a little happier?”
Everyone who had gone in shook their heads. When they saw the Public Security Bureau, they had to take a detour now, let alone go back.
Fortunately, there were still some people who had not entered, so they all stood up and planned to follow him.
"Then you go back early and remember to prepare lunch when the time comes.
Ye Yaodong was worried that his father would not dare to enter the police station, so he asked him to stay and follow everyone around for a while before going back. At the same time, he gave his father 30 yuan and told him to buy 20 kilograms of meat and give everyone extra lunch.
Everyone was happy and immediately cheered. After eating vegetarian food for so many days, we only had fish to eat yesterday, and we have meat to eat today. It’s great.
After explaining the situation, he took the five people around him to ask passers-by where they could rent a tractor, and then went to find someone in the area who had a tractor.
After searching everywhere for a while, and after asking about the price, a group of them got on the tractor and headed to town.
The policemen in the Public Security Bureau were extremely annoyed when they saw this group of people coming over again.
Ye Yaodong was very eye-catching and handed a packet of Chinese to the policeman who arranged their redemption a few days ago, and then said with a smile: "Hello, comrades from the police, I'm sorry to trouble you again. It rained heavily the past few days, and the shops were closed.
Sorry, my etiquette is not attentive. It is inconvenient to do anything when you are wet. Yesterday, something happened unexpectedly, so I had to come to the door today. I have to trouble you again. We are here to move some supplies today. We also agreed a few days ago, haha.
"
The two of them each took a pack of cigarettes, and their faces looked better, "Someone came over this morning to redeem the remaining people, why didn't they come together?"
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Are they Ye Yaoguo?"
"Yeah, that's right. We were still noisy when we came out. I just couldn't understand what was being said."
He immediately understood that because millions of sea goods flooded onto the beach yesterday, Brother Aseng didn't have time to redeem his son, so he didn't come over until this morning.
"A few of them even bought three boats."
"The remaining fishing boats that were confiscated were bought and 3 more were bought?"
"Um."
Ye Yaodong was surprised. There were fewer local fishing boats. They were all divided up by them that day. Basically all the fishing boats brought by Chen Jiannian were seized. If he came to buy today, the ones he bought were definitely not local boats.
Forget it, don't care about them, they all plan to stay here for a while anyway, probably thinking that when they go back, things will probably come to an end, and having more boats here can also salvage more.
The two police officers stood up and planned to take them to move the goods. At this time, Yang Guoan came in from the back door. He was surprised to see them, and then came over to greet him with a smile.
"It's amazing. I heard that you had some connections from above, so you paid so many people to redeem them, and you paid less and got the same treatment as the locals."
"Even if I'm lucky, I also rely on the help of you comrades."
Ye Yaodong smiled and handed over another pack of cigarettes, and then motioned to the boatmen nearby to move the goods with the two police officers first.
"I can't help much. This matter is a bit big. Fortunately, you have a way..."
Yang Guoan was extra polite and invited him to drink tea next to his work station. The two chatted quietly, knowing that he knew some high-ranking people who could help fish out so many people. For a foreigner, this was definitely his ability.
Be extra polite to him.
Ye Yaodong watched everyone moving in and out, and then someone stopped and asked him in a low voice, "We have finished moving everything, but there is still a lot left..."
"Everyone has been moved, not a single one is left."
Anyway, they all fell from their group. Even if they didn't fall from their group, they were collected from the remaining troops of Chen Jianian's side.
He didn't believe that after the gun battle, the police didn't go to several strongholds to search and arrest people. The remaining troops ran away in time. These things would definitely not be taken away. Of course, they would be confiscated and concentrated, so the materials inside would only be more than what they left behind.
Everyone has come here, and they must all have been moved. After moving back, those with villager tags can be claimed by them. Those without tags are of course his, such as food and food, of course they are also his.
.
It was only when the big guys kept moving there that it was almost empty before someone came to stop it.
"Hey...why do you keep moving? Do these all belong to you?"
Ye Yaodong immediately stood up from his position and said with a smile: "They are all ours. There are marks on the sacks outside, or they have everyone's surnames. I asked the leader before I came here, and the leader said that we can move them. Anyway, they are still left behind.
Those who came down have been redeemed, so there is no need to withhold the things."
"Real or false..."
Yang Guoan also helped: "Move it for them, let's go. It takes up space anyway. The baskets are in tatters, and the sacks have been bitten by mice. It has been raining for so many days, and there are many
Everything is damp, so if we move it, we don’t have to leave it there to breed insects.”
"I'm sure it was the leader who said it, then let's move, let's move..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and thanked him, then followed and moved quickly.
Why would you go out of your way to call your boss to ask about such a big deal?
After the entire grocery room had been moved, I just thanked them again and then asked everyone to climb on the tractor.
Everyone was very excited.
"Are we like locusts crossing the border? I didn't expect that we could evacuate the Public Security Bureau?"
"Haha, it's so cool to see them all frowning and reluctant to let go, but they can only watch us move."
"There are a lot more things now. There are many more bags of rice. Now there is food to eat."
"There are still a bunch of clothes. Let's take them back and pick through them so we can wear them..."
"Fuck, you're not afraid that it belongs to a dead person? How dare you use it to wear it? Just burn it. Who moved it? This is also necessary."
"Don't you mean to move them all? Then take them all. I really don't need these clothes. It's a pity. I only wear this one these days, wash it at night and wear it during the day..."
Ye Yaodong said: "Some of them may have been left behind by our villagers, take them back and let them sort them out, and burn the ones they don't want."
"We have so many things and we have to share them with others? We obviously moved them here, so why should we share them?"
"That's right, just sit there and wait for something to fall into your pocket. Why?"
Ye Yaodong said: "The food is not divided. If we move it out, it will be ours. We don't have anything to eat ourselves. Why should we care about others? When you get to the door of the house, you first move the food to the kitchen utility room, and the remaining miscellaneous food will be ours."
Throw the items into the yard and wait for other people to come over and let them claim them for themselves. Those baskets with marks on the bamboo flats should be taken back to whomever belongs."
"That's okay."
"As long as you don't share the food with others."
The tractor was still clicking on the road. After returning to the city, Ye Yaodong kept giving directions along the way before letting the tractor take them to the door of their house again.
The older people in the room had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the movement at the entrance of the courtyard, they all ran out and started moving together, howling.
"Finally there is rice in the pot... hurry up and cook..."
"You haven't cooked yet?" Ye Yaodong asked doubtfully.
Father Ye said: "There is no rice. The little rice left in the morning was all used to cook sweet potatoes. We can only eat sweet potatoes at noon. We just happened to move the things back and cook more for everyone to eat."
"It's so difficult..."
"Why are there so many things... we don't seem to be left behind either..."
"Shhh... we evacuated the public security bureau. It doesn't matter whose property it is. It's all ours now anyway. The other ones with marks will be thrown into the yard for others to claim."
"For the sake of keeping everyone fed, forget about food."
"I understand, everyone understands."
Everyone tacitly hid the food first, picked out their own things first, and threw the rest into the yard.
It happened to be lunch time, and no one came over despite the bright sun.
Now that we could have rice to eat, everyone's eyes were shining, and we no longer felt luxurious. We cooked two large pots of rice at once, and continued cooking after eating.
The leftover sweet potatoes from the pot at noon were also put on top and mixed in, and those who had already eaten followed suit and continued to eat some more.
There is no work these days, and everyone knows that food is scarce, so they are all cutting back on their clothes and dieting, trying to eat less rice and more grains. It is rare to have fragrant rice at noon, and everyone is extremely satisfied after the meal.
After all, we are all ordinary people at the bottom of the family. They just want to have enough food and clothing. Ye Yaodong didn't say that everyone was extravagant at noon. No one has really had enough to eat these days.
Multigrain rice is really not as fragrant as rice.
"Dongzi, do you want our ship to sail back to the safe harbor in the afternoon?"
"Also, you can rest for a while after eating, and then drive one Dongsheng back, and continue to hide the others in the safe harbor. When we get back, we can go back together and drive home."
"Others usually want to stay here all day long. It's already one o'clock today, why haven't they come over yet?"
"They don't know that we are going to the Public Security Bureau to get these things today, so don't worry about them."
"I have nothing to do today. You probably went shopping this morning, right? You should have nothing to do at this time and take a nap. They will probably come here in the evening. The money I have on hand is not enough to pay the salary. I have to wait for the blood of these jellyfish to dry.
Once you've done it, sell it in the evening and then pay everyone's wages together."
"Haha, don't worry..."
"It's okay. I'm not going back tomorrow anyway. I'll have time for everyone to hang out later..."
Ye Yaodong had already settled the accounts last night. At most, it was just a question of when to go back. The difference was only a day or two in wages.
After he and his father had rested enough, it was past 3 o'clock, and they went to the guest house to find Aguang and Pei's father. They discussed going to the safe harbor to sail the boat together, and by the way, they asked everyone to go to his yard and claim their belongings.
Basically every boat has something left behind.
In order to save time, no one wanted to walk, and they didn't need a little money, so they still hired a tractor to take them to the haven.
There were still only their fishing boats floating in the shelter. The heavy rain at the beginning did not attract the attention of the locals, and the continuous heavy rain did not cause any problems. No one would think of parking the boat inside, after all, it was back and forth.
It’s also troublesome.
This has become a shelter for their fishing boats and a good place to hide them.
By the time the two boats arrived on the shore, it was still dark, and the setting sun was still lighting up half of the sky.
"Dongzi, don't you want to borrow money from me to pay wages? Go to the guest house with me first..."
"There shouldn't be any need to borrow it. I sold it for a sum yesterday. I'll sell the jellyfish blood when I get back. I won't need it after calculating the scattered dividends."
"Forget it if you don't need it. Then you sell the jellyfish blood first, and I'll collect all the other people's jellyfish blood. I'll dry it out today. It's almost done now. Then we can settle the final accounts."
"OK."
Chapter completed!
