After the management fishing boats came over for consultation, they arranged different docking areas for them according to the size of their fishing boats.
They only need to follow the guiding boat to dock. After docking, each docked fishing boat will have to pay another management fee based on the docking time.
They were not sure how long they would stay, so they only paid the fee for ten days and issued a receipt with a parking number marked on it. Then Ye Yaodong put the receipt away.
Others have long since lost sight of it.
"So many boats, so many people..."
"This port is really big, there are many cars, it's very lively and prosperous..."
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we go ashore directly to find Uncle Zheng?"
"Gather first, get your personal luggage first, and lock everything else in the cabin first."
Their fishing boats were docked separately according to their size. They had to go ashore first, and then gather to find Uncle Zheng at his address.
People were coming and going on the pier, with various shouts, banging sounds, and the roar of cars. They were either carrying burdens or carrying their own large and small bags, walking back and forth.
After gathering at the roadside and counting everyone's heads, Ye Yaodong also asked the management staff at the pier how to go to the address, and then led a large group of people to Zheng Shuliu.
Find him at his address.
Everyone was full of curiosity and looked around. A large group of people walked slowly. After leaving the pier, there were still people who kept looking behind them. They all got a lot of experience.
After walking onto the normal streets, it was not so crowded.
However, the streets are also dilapidated. There are many cars transporting seafood back and forth, and seafood water is everywhere. The whole street is wet, and the smell of seafood is everywhere.
There were so many of them that they could only move forward slowly on both sides of the street.
Another tractor passed by, spraying gray-black smoke directly into their faces, and everyone turned their faces away in unison.
Wherever the tractor passed, the water from the seafood on the truck kept flowing.
"With so many cars...where can all the seafood go..."
"There must be a trading market, isn't it the four major ports?"
"How long does it take to arrive?"
"I don't know, Brother Dong is looking for it, isn't he?"
Ye Yaodong held a notebook in his hand and would ask passers-by for directions whenever he encountered a fork in the road.
Father Ye pushed the bicycle and followed him with luggage baskets tied to both sides of the back seat, "Is it about to arrive?"
"Yes, it's right in front."
A large group of people walked for almost an hour before stopping in front of a grocery store.
The address is in the alley next to this grocery store and then go in.
When they walked in, they happened to see an acquaintance sitting in the open space enjoying the cool air. They were workers on Uncle Zheng's boat.
"Oh, I finally found it... after walking for more than an hour..."
"We're here! We've been waiting all day. The sun is going down. Lao Zheng said you would arrive in the morning, but it turned out to be in the afternoon."
"Isn't there a lot of fishing boats, so they should drive slower? They walked slowly after they docked in front. They asked for directions while walking, so they were delayed..."
A group of people were chatting in the open space, causing the people around them to frequently turn their heads and point.
Ye Yaodong asked the other party to take everyone to settle in first. Everyone had a lot of luggage. They all brought their own straw mats and quilts, and only two simple pieces of clothing.
After everyone separated and settled down one after another, it was getting dark.
Fortunately, they set off in the morning and arrived early, so they could settle in before dark. Otherwise, with so many people, arranging the trip would have been very troublesome.
Uncle Zheng also came back from the sea when the sun went down. When they settled in, he also arrived home.
He also posted today's delivery receipt for the ship bosses to take a look at. According to normal trawling, one day can equal the family's income for two or three days.
"It's not the winter flood season yet. When the winter flood season comes, more goods will be received, or if you don't know how to use radar nets, you can just trawl the net first. Longline fishing by small boats is also very impressive."
"Then when will the winter floods start?"
"Did we come early?"
Uncle Zheng answered everyone's questions seriously. What he said on the phone was not so clear, so he still had to ask in person.
"Generally, it starts around the time of light snow on the 24th solar term and lasts for about three months."
"According to the Gregorian calendar, the hairtail winter flood lasts from November each year to January of the following year, which is just before the Chinese New Year. The time is basically fixed every year."
"But there are usually a lot of them in September. When the weather gets colder, there will be more of them. You don't need to wait for light snow."
"Then the winter floods are over and everyone will go back to have a good New Year. Then there will be spring floods."
"You guys have come at the right time. In the past half month, you can get familiar with it and hire people to make radar nets and longline fishing. It will be September in no time. It goes very quickly."
"You can also trawl now. The sea resources here are rich. You can only arrange 3-4 people on a fishing boat. You can make money, but you can't lose it. Don't worry. If you lose money, can I call you up?"
A large group of people were discussing and discussing intensely.
In the end, I came to the conclusion: Once you come, make peace with it. Wait for a while, and then officially go to sea tomorrow to see the catch of your fishing boat.
Ye Yaodong didn't express any opinions during the whole process. He had his own ideas. Even though he was here, he would definitely stay until the Chinese New Year.
They are asking a lot of questions now. In fact, they have to stay until the Chinese New Year. Of course, if the profits are good, they should go to sea a few times first.
After the meeting was almost over, everyone dispersed and returned to their assigned rental houses.
Of course, they must pay Uncle Zheng for renting the house.
Ye Yaodong had a lot of people, he brought 22 people, and he counted 23 of them. The temporary rented house was not enough space, so only two rooms were allocated. It was too crowded and the space was too small, just like an old dilapidated house.
It was not easy to find several houses to accommodate them in just one day.
He planned to ask the people left behind to inquire about it tomorrow, then rent two houses nearby and settle down for the night.
Those who had just held a meeting were the ship bosses. The boatmen were only part-time workers and did not participate in their meeting. Instead, they packed their luggage and settled down, and then prepared dinner for the evening.
Ye Yaodong discussed it with his father after dinner, and decided that the Dongsheng and the boat would go out to trawl tomorrow and let his father go.
The small trawler itself was not equipped with a fishing net. He had just borrowed one from Uncle Zheng temporarily.
Anyway, he built a radar net a few days ago, and now he is using the radar net. The trawl net is of no use, so it would be just right to lend it to him.
He will stay at home with the rest of the people tomorrow, look for a few more houses, and make reservations with the Radar Network at the same time.
Uncle Zheng has already done it, so it must be possible, and there is nothing wrong with following in the footsteps of his predecessors.
He had heard in his previous life that the hairtail fish caught in the radar net were the most famous. Even if they came, they would have to book the fishing net first.
He now has enough manpower on hand, sending 6 people to the big ship and 4 people to the small ship to go to sea. The harvest ship will not move for the time being, leaving two people at home to guard it, and sending two more people to rent a house and inquire about the local situation.
He planned to send the others to Uncle Zheng and his friends from the same village to help out on the boat, and learn how to operate the radar net fishing by the way. He would learn in advance and start using it immediately after the fishing net is obtained.
Anyway, the harvest boat is not moving now, so we don’t need so many people at the moment, and we can learn new skills in our free time.
After he has arranged all these small tasks, he will also go to the ship to study.
Speaking of which, it's good to come early. At least you won't be in a hurry until the flood season.
After making arrangements, he summoned the boatmen and told them his plan.
Of course, those who stay at home must take turns and not be fixed. Just treat it as a rotation. Everyone can take a turn. They can take a turn for two or three days a month. It’s not bad. No one has any objections.
After everything was arranged, he let out a sigh of relief.
There are too many people on hand now, and arranging them is also a troublesome task.
There were only a few people on the other fishing boats, so everything was arranged in just one meal, and everyone came out to walk around.
When Ye Yaodong went out, he watched them wandering around in twos and threes.
"Dongzi, are you okay?"
Ah Guang, Ah Zheng, Xiaoxiao and the others were actually near his door, waiting for him to come out.
"That's almost it. I'll just arrange a rest schedule for them later."
Xiaoxiao said: "You boatmen can still rest. We wait until the waves are too big to go out to sea, and then we rest together."
"There's no way, we have a lot of people, and of course we have a lot of stuff, so we have to leave someone to look after the house. If I don't look after the house, I won't worry, because I don't know if I get dumped all at once. And we have a lot of people, and eating and drinking every day is also a big deal.
You also have to leave someone at home to make arrangements.”
Ah Zheng said: "You can do this if you have a lot of people, but we can't. We can wait until we get back from work and then get busy."
A Guang asked: "Dongzi, are you going to sea tomorrow?"
"My father is going to go on a big boat or a small boat. I will stay at home first. There are still things waiting for me to arrange..."
He explained his plan and made the three of them envious.
"I originally thought you had too many people on hand, but now it seems there aren't many."
Ye Yaodong said: "It's not too much. I've calculated that it takes eight people to work on the fresh harvest ship. There are only one or two more people. If you are short of manpower, I can give you one or two."
Xiaoxiao asked worriedly: "If we wait until the Chinese New Year to go back, what will happen to the ships in our shipyard? They say they will be delivered in December."
"It doesn't matter. Weren't you worried about paying a lot of money for delivery? If you deliver the goods later, you can earn more money to go back. Anyway, you will definitely get it before the year. We will definitely go back before the year. You can
Call ahead and go to the shipyard to talk."
"We'll talk about it then. Anyway, wait until the time is closer and call in advance to extend it."
Azheng was not too worried. Could it be that if they returned late, the ship would be gone? Just say hello in advance and deliver the goods later.
A Guang changed the topic and said: "Dongzi, I just asked the locals that the radar net hairtail fish is only suitable for larger fishing boats. The ones we have here are all small boats, except for our few big ones."
"I asked about it. Small trawlers like theirs use long lines to catch hairtail. Tomorrow, in addition to finding someone to make the radar net, you will also have to find someone to make long lines."
Xiaoxiao also immediately said: "Uncle Zheng didn't make it clear on the phone. We all thought that all fishing boats can use radar nets to catch hairtail fish."
"Yes, fortunately, I just inquired about it. We also need to hire someone to do some longline fishing tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong frowned. The old man was really selfish. He didn't speak carefully and was not afraid of being criticized.
No wonder when we just talked about the radar net, we also mentioned longline fishing, but everyone was focused on the radar net and did not care about longline fishing.
It's all said and done now, so it's not a good idea to blame him.
Anyway, so many people came over, and he also helped with the settlement. He was deceived, but he also managed the aftermath. It depends on how everyone goes to sea to collect the goods tomorrow, otherwise he will be scolded.
"Then I'll find someone to do longline fishing tomorrow. They should have longline fishing specifically for hairtail."
"Yes, the longline fishing here is specifically for hairtail. I heard that there is also longline fishing for tuna, but that requires a big boat to catch. There are also longlines for big eels and other big fish."
"knew."
A few of them stood here talking, and after a while, others looked at them and gathered around them.
Because Ye Yaodong is the backbone of everyone, now wherever he is, everyone will automatically gather around him.
Ye Yaodong also casually mentioned to them that they should longline fishing. After everyone scolded Uncle Zheng for being an old fox, some planned to buy the materials tomorrow and let the workers do it themselves.
Some plan to trawl the net tomorrow to see how the harvest is going, and then buy materials and use their own workers to do it slowly.
I was also thinking in my mind, didn’t the number only increase in September? I’m not so anxious...
However, when they saw the harvest of the fishing net the next day, they began to panic.
Ye Yaodong chatted with everyone for a while and then left first. After taking the boat for a day and a night, everyone was actually very tired. It was just that they had just arrived at a place and the excitement made them reluctant to rest.
He worked with everyone to make a bed on the floor, but there were too many people in the room and it was too stuffy, so he simply rolled up the mat and slept at the door.
The sky is the quilt, the ground is the mat, and the cool evening breeze makes people feel extremely comfortable. When you open your eyes, you can see the sky full of stars, and the irritability in the room just now is gone.
Mentally and physically tired at the same time, he looked at the stars for a while, then stared at the brightest morning star, and fell asleep after a while.
He didn't wake up until it got slightly brighter and there were sounds of people around him. Only then did he realize that there were a lot of people who had moved out of the house lying around him.
Everyone simply washed up, and those who went to sea left immediately. The remaining people were not in a hurry and could go back to the house to lie down and wait for their meals.
Ye Yaodong ran around all day long. Fortunately, he also had a bicycle. In one day, he asked nearby women to organize radar nets and longline fishing.
The local women can do anything. It should be said that every woman on the seaside has a full range of skills.
Moreover, he rode his bicycle and visited all the streets of the fishing port, even the small alleys, and found out how the fish was sold after the fishing boats came back.
It wasn't until the evening that he rode his bicycle to the pier to see the fishing boats returning to the port.
Shenjiamen has been a bustling market since the mid-Qing Dynasty. It has been recorded that "the shops are lined up in parallel, the sea products are mixed, and the vendors are here". It is known as "Little Shanghai" and "Living Water Wharf".
Thousands of ships pass through it all year round.
When he rode his bicycle to the pier, the pier was already bustling with people. There was a constant flow of people coming and going. There were endless carts and cars as far as the eye could see, and there was the sound of shouting and selling everywhere.
"Pompano, the pomfret that just landed..."
"Sheath the sword shrimp... Sheath the sword shrimp..."
As soon as a large fishing boat docks, a bunch of fishmongers rush forward.
The docking point for the boat was also densely crowded with people.
"Fuck, so many people are following the car..."
"Hey, it's so lively... no wonder there is a fee for parking..."
The dock at this time was ten times more lively than when they docked yesterday. I thought yesterday was lively enough.
He looked towards the sea. At this time, a large number of fishing boats were returning to the port. At a glance, he could see that there were fishing boats of all sizes on the sea, and they were all docking in an orderly manner.
No wonder I often heard people say that thousands of ships travel here all year round.
Yesterday afternoon, we docked at the pier. The hundreds of boats that were not out to sea were nothing. There were really thousands of boats passing by...
"I'm going...there are so many...I didn't expect that the port could be so lively in this era..."
He rode his bicycle and looked all the way over. The dock was full of fish and shrimps, and every cart, tractor, truck, and freight car was full of them.
After pulling it away, and an empty car comes in, how much seafood must be transported every day?
No wonder this is the largest natural fishing port in China, and is one of the three largest fishing ports in the world, together with the Port of Bergen in Norway and the Port of Callao in Peru.
It is also the largest aquatic products distribution base in the country. In 2005, it also built my country's largest aquatic products trading market, China International Aquatic Products City.
While he was wandering around watching the excitement and looking for their fishing boat, he heard what sounded like a quarrel not far away.
Ye Yaodong parked his bicycle at the edge and locked it. He heard their familiar hometown dialect before he walked in, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"You are looking for death on horseback and dare to push our people into the sea..."
"What the hell are you doing? Damn it... If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it. Damn you..."
"We agreed not to sell it, but you are playing tricks on me, you damn foreigners, believe it or not, I will kill you..."
He quickly pushed aside the crowd, and saw that people on both sides had red faces, thick necks, and bulging veins. Their eyes were as wide as a cow's, and they were about to poke each other's face with their index fingers.
Had it not been for the help of the fishermen around him, he would have been beaten and kicked.
"Azheng, what's wrong..."
Ah Zheng frowned, pointed at the other person and scolded, "This Ying Mu chicken is just a dog grass, and you are tampering with the scale and you think I don't know?"
"Give me some grass, *****"
The workers next to him also spat and cursed...
"It's this scale, who tampered with it? Who did you say tampered with when you stepped on the horse?"
The other party also stiffened his neck and cursed even louder than Azheng. His whole body was leaning forward. If he hadn't been pulled by someone, he would have pounced on him and hit him.
"****, if you have something special to do, take out the scale for me. My hand is more accurate than your scale. How many kilograms are there that I can't count?"
Everyone around was quarreling with each other.
It was probably at this time that a large number of fishing boats docked on the pier. The security personnel on the pier were probably all at sea, or they had not yet made time to come over.
Ye Yaodong asked: "Did they tamper with the scale?"
The boatman next to him explained to him, "Yes, he still doesn't admit it. He also wants to detain our goods. He just pushed two of us into the sea."
"If there weren't several boats from our village docking nearby, all the goods would have been robbed and people would have been beaten to death."
"Now they're biting back at us. How many kilograms does a basket of goods weigh? We can know it just by lifting it. How can we deceive others?"
Suddenly, another group of people came out from nowhere, holding sticks and squeezing through the crowd, heading towards Azheng and beating him down.
Fortunately, Ye Yaodong reacted quickly and pulled Ah Zheng, who had been impulsively rushing over, and only hit his shoulder, but the pain was so painful that he grimaced and wrinkled his facial features.
This is a real killing move.
"Those who dare to hit people or step on horses will be killed because they think we are easy to bully..."
"This is to bully me, a foreigner..."
In an instant, everyone was furious. At first, other people in their village were just cursing a few words, but now they were beaten, and everyone was angry.
"Fuck, you dare to hit someone even if you're wrong, Suzuki's cock is broken..."
The crowd around them originally wanted to start a fight, but when they saw the two groups, their eyes turned red and they started to fight. They immediately dispersed for fear of suffering disaster.
"Kill them..."
"What's wrong? What's wrong, A Dong..."
"Azheng was beaten, and two workers were pushed into the water..."
"Made, fight with them..."
"Go and call people quickly and tell them to stop selling goods..."
Originally, the two groups were evenly matched, with only about 10 people in each group. Later, people from both sides joined in, and it became a melee between 20 and 30 people.
Moreover, the people in charge of the dock also brought people over to stop them, but they couldn't stop the melee at all. Both sides became red-eyed and beat the other party if they pointed out that they were outsiders.
Suddenly it turned into a three-party melee.
The number of people participating in the war from both sides is also constantly increasing.
The management personnel at the dock were beaten by both parties at the same time. Even with sticks, they could not get any better. After suffering the loss, they quickly retreated and prepared to continue calling people over.
However, they were not as fast as the people in their village who gathered together. After hearing the news, all the people in their village ran over first.
This time is exactly when the fishing boats are docking. Most of their fishing boats are back, but the goods are still sold out.
The commotion here kept getting louder, and some people ran back to shout. Knowing that one of their own was being bullied, they didn't want any of the goods, and they all came running over.
"Fuck you, I saw you cheating, you dared to hit people, and you dared to be arrogant, I will kill you..."
"Damn it, no one is bullying us outsiders, right? Look at it with your eyes wide open, I am your grandfather, and I can kill you with hundreds of people..."
"Don't believe it, this is our territory, ah..."
"Afraid of you?"
Even though the four big boats on their side have gone out to fish and have not returned, there are still nearly 200 people, and everyone comes to join them one after another.
The battle situation is overwhelming.
These arrogant fishmongers were overwhelmed by seven or eight times the number of people and immediately became defenseless.
However, the management staff at the dock brought a large group of people over. Seeing that they were the stronger party, they helped the other party to kill them.
"You idiots...they are the ones bullying people..."
"Arrest all those who cause trouble, don't let anyone go..."
Ye Yaodong was also furious. After killing one group of people, another group came again, and they were also local gangsters who managed the dock.
It's okay to beat those fishmongers who are cheating, they are still reasonable, but if there is a conflict with these local snakes in the management, it will be really troublesome.
The officials have already arrived, so we need to give them face.
He thought for a while, then ran to the tractor nearby and shouted, "The police are coming, the police are coming!"
Both sides who were fighting fiercely stopped immediately, glanced at him, and started fighting again.
"Why……"
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was a bang, and the scene turned cold. It really stopped now.
Ye Yaodong was also shocked.
Not only them, but thousands of people on the pier were also gathered around. They stopped what they were doing and all stared at the guns.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
He's the manager at the pier opposite.
"Catch them all."
No one dared to move.
In fact, everyone has guns on board, but how dare you take them out? Last year's gun battle was so tragic, how dare you take them out here now? Isn't this looking for death?
There are more people here, tens of thousands of people, and I'm afraid they won't be shot dead on the spot.
Ye Yaodong quickly winked at the others and told them to run, but he did not dare to shout for fear of bearing the brunt.
But even without his wink, those on the periphery quickly took the opportunity to get into the crowd. They would be fools not to run away.
It's just that the group of people in the front row who bear the brunt of the attack cannot escape.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly got off the tractor when he heard the gunfire, and now he hurriedly got into the crowd.
Run away first. If he doesn't run, no one will save them.
Chapter completed!
