Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  After the bicycle got on the main road, Ye Yaodong accelerated his riding speed.

  I didn’t call a few friends today, no one disturbed him, and there was no oil bottle. The road was extremely quiet. Although it seemed a bit boring, he rode faster and arrived at the shipyard in about an hour.

   It was time to get off work. When he arrived, the workers in the factory were filing out. They probably went home for dinner. The old man in the factory was about to lock the door, so he hurried forward to say what he wanted.

  People also know him, knowing that he booked a boat here, so they simply let him in.

  But no one greeted him at this point, and the old doorman followed him while eating with his own lunch box, so he simply started shopping by himself.

  The 26-meter ship already looks decent, but it feels like it needs to be painted and installed machinery and equipment.

  Although the cabin above has not been painted, and the electric welding is a bit rough and not so beautiful, it is indeed quite large. There are two bunk beds inside, and there is only an aisle for one person to walk in the middle, which is no different from the boats he has been on.

  It's just a place to sleep, just have a place to lie down. People who are drifting at sea don't pay attention to these things.

  There is also a larger fish warehouse underneath, and it is not a problem to hold a few thousand catties of goods.

  He circled around the ship, climbed up to check it carefully, and was sure that the main body of the ship was almost ready, only the machinery and equipment were installed and debugged.

  If everything arrives smoothly, you can test the waters in less than two months.

  He fondly touched it up and down, and then turned his head and asked the doorman who was holding a lunch box to eat, "Uncle, is this ship going to be delivered soon?"

   "It seems to be soon? The delivery date is said to be in June. If it doesn't rain, the paint can be painted in two days. After a few back and forth, the equipment will be installed. It may be delivered in advance."

   "Oh, it also depends on the weather. You can't say for sure. It may be sooner or later. You don't have to worry, you don't have to wait for the boat to be built, and you can arrange it for you. The factory manager has arranged for people to prepare materials in the past two days. The boat is almost ready, and the master can spare two to fix it for you."

  Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

   I thought that we had to wait for the ship to be delivered before we could arrange to build it.

   "Well, isn't this ship almost finished? There is no need for a master. Painting is the job of a painter, and installing machinery and equipment later is the job of a technician."

   "Okay, if you can start work earlier, you can finish it sooner."

   "The number of people booking a ship this year has tripled compared to last year, and there is a shortage of manpower. However, your ship is big. I heard from the factory manager that you have to give priority to manpower first?"

   "Thank you, thank you. Since the factory is short of manpower, do you want to recruit apprentices?" Ye Yaodong thought of his father and wanted Ah Hai to learn shipbuilding.

   "Recruitment, but it's not for ordinary people to get in. Afterwards, if you become a regular worker, you will be a skilled worker with a solid job. How many people want to learn technology after breaking their heads, but the requirements are high. They say they have to graduate from junior high school, and older people don't need it. What else? I don't know."

  Then Ah Hai still has to wait for two years until he graduates from the third year of junior high school.

  Ye Yaodong nodded, it's okay to take him over next time on the weekend.

  He asked the old man again how many ships were waiting to be built, and checked the progress of other ships in the factory before waiting for the factory manager to come by bicycle at night.

   "Your ship hasn't started to be built yet, so you don't have to come here for the time being, and come back in the second half of the year."

   "I came to take a look because I was curious. Anyway, I haven't worked for the past two days, and I am idle. Come and take a look. I can also urge you to avoid being cut in line by others."

   "Don't worry about this, we arrange the order according to the order, but also according to the type requirements. If the delivery date is set, then we will try our best to complete it before the delivery date."

   "What if it is not completed before the due date?"

   "Then you can only wait. There will be unforeseen circumstances this day. In case of several typhoons, heavy rains, rainy seasons, etc., the process may be delayed. How can we say for sure, we can only guarantee that we will try our best to be on time."

  Ye Yaodong pouted, a typical seller's market!

   "Let's go and have a drink of tea."

  Wherever the Hokkien people go, they drink tea. They don’t have to eat rice, but they have to drink two sips of tea.

   While he was drinking tea, other people came to see the progress or consult about the shipbuilding.

   Seeing that people were busy with their feet not touching the ground, he kept greeting people, and left in a sensible manner. Anyway, his boat hadn't started building yet, so he just came over and had a look.

  Riding the bicycle on a dusty dirt road, it would have been fine if there were no tractors passing by, but as soon as a tractor passed by, his hair immediately became like snow, and he could shake his head with something.

   "Damn! I have to wash my hair again when I go back."

  Thinking about the high temperature during the day, he didn't wear a hat. Now he scratched his hair twice, and felt a little grainy.

   Right at this moment, another tractor slowly drove up behind him from far to near. He could only bear it again depressed, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance.

  The tractor that was driving over belonged to Uncle Zhou. The back of his truck was raised with wooden boards and filled with sand.

   Unexpectedly, within a few days of getting the tractor, he was already connected to the job.

   Turned their heads and glanced, they greeted each other, the two cars did not stop, and continued to move forward. After a while, the tractor left the bicycle behind.

  Ye Yaodong also kicked up faster, barely falling behind too much.

  When the tractor drove into the village on the side of the road, he continued to ride for two minutes and returned to Baisha Village.

  Father Ye has been waiting at his house until almost evening before he comes back.

   "Why didn't you call me when you went to the shipyard?"

   "Didn't you think that the ship hadn't started yet? I went over to have a look, so I didn't call you."

  Father Ye pointed to a pile of green fishing nets in the corner, which looked like ground cages but were not ground cages, and said in a low voice: "When your uncle came over in the afternoon, he sent them over because he said he didn't need them. It happened that our family had two boats, so he sent them here, thinking that you might be able to use them."

  Ye Yaodong curiously walked over to lift up the fishing net, took a look, "Is this a shrimp cage?"

   "Shh", Father Ye winked at the neighbor next door, "Keep your voice down, your elder brother and second brother don't know."

   After speaking, he looked at him with satisfaction and admiration, "I have good eyesight, I didn't miss the shrimp pot, and I even know the shrimp pot."

  Ye Yaodong hehe twice, haven’t you seen pork, haven’t you seen pigs running? And if you haven't let it go in this life, it doesn't mean you haven't touched it in your previous life.

   What's more, his two brothers-in-law's house also has two simple shrimp pots, which are specially used to put river shrimps in the river. Looking at the meshes of the nets, how can he not know what they are for?

   There is no big difference between the ground cage and the shrimp cage, but the ground cage is denser and the shrimp cage is thinner.

  The ground cage is a cage for various fish such as fish, shrimp and crab.

  Shrimp pots are mainly used to store shrimp. Shrimp pots and crab pots are also ground cages, but the mesh of the shrimp pots is larger, and the mesh of the crab pots is larger. Useless small fish are automatically removed, and targeted fishing. Some fish will enter the lower shrimp pots, but they are all bigger.

  And this fishing net is still green, and the shrimp pots are usually made of green fishing nets, because the grass in the water is green, and the green shrimp pots are easy to confuse the shrimps.

   "I already have a ground cage. Recently, I feel that the ground dragon is too weak. I didn't put it in. This shrimp cage is not very useful."

   "It's not good to add a few more nets? It happens that you only have four rows of ground cages left. The number is too small. It's good to use this shrimp cage to supplement it. Shrimp are more expensive than fish."

   "Besides, if the ground cage is gone, won't you feel distressed? This shrimp cage was picked up for nothing. If it is gone, it won't be so heartbreaking. At most, it will be a pity."

   "If there is no wind and waves in two days, take the shrimp pots out to see if you can catch more shrimps when the nets are being glued down. Anyway, you need to hire someone, and you can get two more shrimp pots by the way. You can sell them for a little more. Anyway, you are too lazy to put the ground pots now, so just put the shrimp pots. By the way, there are not many here."

   "Okay, then wait for the wind and waves to calm down, and release it when you go out to sea."

  His father said so, and secretly left it to him, without letting his elder brother and second brother know, what else can he say?

  In other words, he has quite a lot of fishnets piled up in the yard now, including large trawl nets, sticky nets piled there on the cart that have just been dried in the past two days, dozens of baskets of longlines, neatly stacked ground cages, and freshly whitened shrimp nets.

   "Hey~ Isn't uncle a long-time runner? Where did you get the shrimp net?"

  Father Ye said in a low voice: "Last night at sea, he fought with other ships and snatched it. Then the boss of the ship thought that the shrimp cage was not very useful, so he asked who wanted it, and he took it back."

   "It's really dangerous enough. Their boat is quite big, right? The boat they fought with shouldn't be too small."

  Father Ye nodded, "The sea is not safe. We can do well in the surrounding seas, and we didn't go very far. The surrounding areas are all from this county. They speak the same language. As long as they don't touch the boats on Luzhou Island, it's fine. When you buy a big boat and go farther, you have to be careful."

   "Well, we'll talk about it later."

   I have to find a chance to get a spare gun. Now that the management is not strict, it should be easy to do.

  The man Lin Jishang appeared in his mind again, but he was crossed in his heart again. This man is a bit dangerous, so let's talk about it later, when the ship is built.

  Ye Yaodong picked up the pile of green fishing nets in the corner and checked them one by one, and found that these shrimp cages were also different from the ground cages.

  The ground cages in his house are rectangular, but these shrimp cages are "T" shaped cylindrical cages with a diameter of about 40 cm, which is quite large, and there is only an inlet at one end and a cover at the other end.

  Father Ye whispered again: "Don't tell your eldest brother and second brother, or you should say that we are biased."

   "Understood, they didn't see it when I just brought it here?"

   "I see, I said it was eliminated by others, and you bought it second-hand from someone."

"oh."

   "Cover it with a nylon bag first, and I don't know when I can go to sea."

  I have two yang, and yesterday I just felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable in my throat.

  Woke up this morning with a headache and even more pain in my throat, and my tonsils were not inflamed, but I couldn't speak and my throat was hoarse.

  I lay groggy all afternoon at noon, and the more I lay down, the more painful my head became. I drank a cup of coffee to relieve it.
