Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1265 Fleet (Monthly Ticket +2)

Ye Yaodong ignored his father and walked to the stool beside him, sat down and put his feet up. He heard the sound of cooking in the house. It was not cooked yet, so he could only sit outside to enjoy the cool air and wait for the meal.

Ye's father hopped on one foot to pick up his shoes and put them on, and asked, "What are you going to the shipyard to see? Didn't you say a few days ago that there were no ready-made machine parts? We have to place orders, and we can't start work. We just went there two days ago, so there's no point going again now."

"Have you ever heard of someone in the court who can help you get things done? I met a girl the day before yesterday while drinking. She helped me get through the back door and got in line. She arranged the existing spare parts and machines for my ship first, so I may not have to wait too long then."

"Who is it? Don't mess around. If she can go out drinking with a bunch of men like you, she must not be a good woman. I only have one daughter-in-law, no, three daughters-in-law. I won't recognize any more than that."

"What are you thinking? She is the sister of a friend of Su Ren, and I brought her along for fun. She studied abroad and has an open mind. There's nothing wrong with her drinking with men."

"That won't work either. We have to go back. You can't follow the example of others and make a home here."

"No, I wasn't thinking about going anywhere. I just happened to meet her at the factory, and she talked to her father about it for me, and put it on the agenda. What are you thinking about all day? Are you thinking about starting a family?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father suspiciously.

There are indeed ship captains in their forties or fifties who remarry widows and have children here.

Moreover, Uncle Pei had a son two months ago and was very proud of himself, which made this group of middle-aged and elderly men very envious.

Father Ye kicked him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I still have some dignity."

"That's good. If you have any ideas, I'll leave them here for you and I'll go back and tell my mother myself."

"I'll break your legs..."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat..."

The father and son only interrupted the topic when someone in the room called for dinner.

Ye Yaodong successfully turned the tables and immediately stood up to eat.

A drizzle started to fall at night, and the temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees.

A cold autumn rain.

Everyone was wearing vests the day before, but had to wear long sleeves the next day.

After the Autumnal Equinox, the temperature starts to drop, especially after it has rained.

After it rained for three consecutive days, the body surface temperature felt like it had dropped by 10 degrees. The key point was that the old house was leaking, so everyone could only pray that the weather would clear up soon.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his wise move. After this typhoon is over, people who go to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts will probably have to queue up and wait for the price to go up.

Other villagers in their village made reservations on the first day the typhoon returned to Hong Kong, so they shouldn't have to wait too long.

Early in the morning, when everyone got up and gathered together to eat breakfast, they were all still shivering.

"Fortunately, everyone still has autumn clothes, otherwise we would be freezing to death..."

"It's getting colder all of a sudden. It's only the end of September, not even October yet."

"It was mainly because of the typhoon, strong winds and rain. Every autumn rain brings cold weather, which has accelerated the drop in temperature. I didn't even bring long sleeves."

"Just wait and see. After the typhoon passes, the sun will come out and the temperature will rise. This is abnormal weather."

Ye Yaodong always wore long sleeves and long pants, unless he was not working, so he was not cold at all.

"I've already ordered winter coats for you all. I can't make custom ones for everyone, but everyone's sizes are pretty much the same anyway, so it's okay to wear looser clothes in winter. I'll pay for this and give everyone two sets."

"I've also ordered the quilt, but as for sweaters and other base layers, you can get whatever you need. Go buy some wool early as the weather turns cooler, and ask the landlady or the women nearby to make some sweaters for you."

"Prepare in advance so that you will have clothes to wear when the weather gets cold and you won't freeze."

"If you are short of money, you can ask me for an advance. You should also be frugal. I will go home for the Chinese New Year, so I must save some money to bring back for a prosperous New Year."

Everyone nodded.

After the typhoon passed and it was October, the weather cleared up and everyone went out shopping while the wind and waves were still there, buying whatever fabrics and wool they needed.

Once the sky cleared up, the weather started to warm up again, but no matter how much it rebounded, it would not be as high as before the typhoon. After all, it is autumn now.

When going out to sea, everyone also wore long sleeves instead of just going shirtless or wearing a vest.

It was a cold day, especially with strong winds and waves at sea, which made it even more uncomfortable for our body senses.

The temperature only rebounded for a few days. After two days of sunshine, it rained and the temperature dropped again. Fortunately, the aftermath of the typhoon has passed and the wind and waves have subsided.

Ye Yaodong and his team waited until the weather cleared up completely before going out to sea. In fact, a little rain did not affect fishing.

However, the facilities on fishing boats are limited nowadays, so for safety reasons, if it rains, everyone will wait until it is sunny before going out to sea.

After all, no one knows when the rain will stop, or when the wind and waves will become stronger, so the loss will outweigh the gain.

If it was drizzling at sea and the wind and waves were bearable, I would definitely not rush back and would definitely continue working as usual.

The situation is different.

After the temperature dropped, the number of hairtail they caught at sea increased greatly. Correspondingly, the number of other fish also decreased. For example, squids are no longer available in the autumn and winter seasons, and they all swam back to the deep sea to spend the winter.

Just as they had just pulled up the net, Ye Yaodong was standing on the wheelhouse looking down. Out of the corner of his eye he inadvertently caught a glimpse of many ships in the distance on the sea, which seemed to be speeding towards them.

He quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the sea in the distance.

There were blue fishing boats with red flags flying on them, and there seemed to be about ten or twenty of them.

Just when he was wondering whether these fishing boats were in a group, he saw them sailing towards them, and as they got closer, they slowly slowed down.

"Boss, shall we lower the net?" Seeing that he didn't move, the people below looked up and called him, and then looked in the direction he was looking.

"Wait a moment, you guys sort first."

Ye Yaodong looked through the telescope for a while and saw a fishing boat approaching the Harvest directly in front of him and waving a flag.

However, the Harvest seemed to be working and was moving in circles continuously, so it ignored the attack.

The boat then sailed towards them again, probably because it saw that his fishing boat was stationary in the sea.

Ye Yaodong walked onto the deck and watched vigilantly. He didn't cast the net because he was worried that so many fishing boats would slow down and come towards them. He wanted to wait and see first, just in case.

However, they did not expect that the boat would come directly to their side, and the dozen or so boats behind it also followed.

He always felt that this plot was a little familiar?
Why does it seem like there was a large group of fishing boats following them on the way here? Are they the same group of people?

After sailing to a certain distance, the ships stopped on the sea, and he temporarily let go of his vigilance.

If they are robbers at sea, they will usually rush over directly and will not stop at an appropriate distance.

The same thing happened when they asked for directions on the way here. They encountered many setbacks along the way. It took them a long time to communicate with a kind-hearted person before someone showed them the way.

He wondered if these people were also asking for directions, and thinking about his own experience, he became more tolerant.

At this moment, someone on the opposite deck was heard holding a loudspeaker, "Comrades on the opposite side...Comrades on the opposite side...Can I ask for directions, can I ask for directions..."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and shouted with the loudspeaker, "Don't come over here, use VHF to communicate... Channel XXX..."

He shouted and repeated it again to make sure the other party heard him before climbing up to the wheelhouse again.

The other party's ship also looks to be about 30 meters long, and the ships following behind are basically 30 to meters long, and some are more than meters long. This kind of ship must have a very high frequency.

Maritime radio, also known as very high frequency radio, allows nearby fishing vessels to communicate and can provide short-range communication services.

This type of radio equipment is widely used for communication between ships, between ships and shore stations, and for sending distress signals in emergency situations.

Among the VHF channels, there are certain channels that are reserved for specific purposes.

For example: Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) is commonly used as the international distress and safety communications channel
Other channels may be used for conventional ship-to-ship communications or ship-to-shore communications.

When two fishing boats want to talk to each other, they can select a non-dedicated channel and make sure both parties are tuned to the same channel, so that they can communicate directly via VHF radio equipment.

The effective communication range of VHF radio depends on factors such as antenna height, transmission power and atmospheric conditions. Generally speaking, its effective range in open waters is about 20 to 60 nautical miles.

It should be noted that the use of VHF radios is subject to relevant international and local regulations, such as not interfering with other important communications, including but not limited to emergency calls.

The four ships led by Ye Yaodong were connected to a non-dedicated channel.

The other side had such a big ship and so many of them, so he didn't dare let them get close and he was also worried. It was good enough that he was willing to connect them on the same channel and answer their questions.

The other party also understood, and soon they all connected to the new channel at the same time.

"Hello, comrade. Excuse me. Are we close to Shenjiamen Fishing Port?"

"Yes, according to the speed of your fishing boat, if you want to take care of the fishing boats behind you, you should be able to arrive in about three hours. If it's just your fishing boat, it will be there in more than two hours."

"Thank you. Your fishing net is a bit strange. What are you catching?"

"There are hairtail and other fish coming in as well." Ye Yaodong also asked curiously, "Are the fishing boats behind you also with you? Fleet?"

"Yes, we are a fishing boat from Vancouver, and we are here specifically to catch winter shrimp."

"Shrimp! Yes, in winter, the fishery here is also in season for shrimp. Is this your first time here?"

"Most of them are visiting for the first time, and they were brought by relatives and friends. Thank you. Then we will go to the port first."

"Hey wait, leave me your contact information. If you need a fresh ship, you can ask me."

"A fresh-harvesting ship?"

"Correct."

The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't know where to stay yet, so let's remember this channel for now and look for an opportunity in a few days."

"it is good."

This is relatively safe.

Ye Yaodong also heard their accents and knew they were indeed from Vancouver. He had lived there for a few years and could tell.

And in the previous life, there were really many fleets coming to this fishing ground to catch shrimps.

As soon as he heard it, he knew it was the truth, not a lie.

These teams acted as if they had just arrived in Zhou City two months ago.

This is an extra chapter, it will be posted before 12:12. After 2: it will be the second day, there is one more chapter, I don't know what time it will be at night, don't wait, it may be posted tomorrow afternoon, I will make up for the extra chapters in the next few days
