Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1559 Decision
Around 11 o'clock at night, the ship No. 5 that Ye Yaodong had been waiting for finally arrived.

Before arriving, the three ships had already discussed the order of moving the goods. There were only three ships in total anyway, so whichever ship was closest to closing the nets would arrive first.

Ye Yaodong's fishing net was just right. They contacted each other more than three hours ago, and his fishing net had already been lowered. When they met, he was just in the process of pulling it back in.

His fishing boats don't need to move. The workers collect the nets on their own, and Boat No. 5 just comes over to collect the catch.

It just so happened that the ship brought a group of workers over, so there was labor to carry out the transportation, and it did not delay the loading, unloading and sorting work on the ship itself.

After the workers on the ship finish loading, unloading and sorting the goods, they will have time to help with the carrying.

Ye Yaodong held a flashlight and watched as Ship No. 5 slowly approached. There were about 10 people standing on the deck, all of them familiar faces.

When the two boats came together, the workers on the opposite boat all climbed over and asked him what to do.

He directly asked Lao Xiao to take people to direct the transportation, while he pulled the captain aside to talk.

“Why are there only a dozen people?”

"It was very difficult to get it together. Your father said there was no place else to find it, so we could only take a few of the remaining logistics personnel, and then take five or six soldiers from the processing plant who looked capable."

"Otherwise, he said we can only go outside to find workers. People outside would know that we are all from the same village, so no one would dare to come."

"So after all the calculations, I can only assign a dozen people to you. There will be no one left to arrange delivery. This is because your goods only dock every two or three days."

"We can reduce the number of delivery staff we have, so that we can free up some to send to you at sea. When your fishing boat comes back, the workers on this boat can also help arrange the delivery."

Now that we don’t have enough manpower, we can only do as much as we can and overcome the difficulties for the time being.”

Ye Yaodong also sighed after hearing this, "Okay, this arrangement is fine. It just so happens that the No. 4 ship can only be used to deliver goods temporarily. It doesn't need to trawle, so we can arrange fewer people. Free up a few people and coordinate them. It should be enough."

"Then your father also asked the seafood collection ship to inform your childhood friend that he was back. When I set out, the 40-meter seafood collection ship had just docked. It was also a coincidence. Your father told you to follow the seafood collection ship. I guess your friends are behind me and should be on the sea."

If we can have three more people, it's better than nothing. It's okay to get together.

The main reason is that he has now divided the three boats into three boats for collecting fresh fish, so they can be squeezed together and for the time being, they don't need as many people as expected at the beginning.

Wait until he has time to go back and solve the problem with the boats and manpower, and then boats No. 4 and No. 5 can resume fishing normally.

Ye Yaodong watched the workers carrying the goods back and forth, and helped shine a flashlight, then asked the boat captain: "How many days have you been on the road?"

"Three days. To be more precise, it should be three days and a few hours. When we set out, it was raining the most. But we couldn't help it. We knew you didn't have enough fresh-harvesting boats, so we had to hurry over."

"We had to slow down along the way. Otherwise, it would have taken two and a half days to get back. It rained the next day, otherwise we might have reached the shore sooner."

He nodded to comfort her, "Safety first, it's normal to go slow, as long as it goes smoothly. Has my father dealt with the cargo that was shipped back?"

"Haha, Uncle Ye's eyes widened at that time, and he kept muttering: "Ah? There are so many, what should I do? If I can't sell them all, I will have to kneel down and beg at the door of the store. Leave all the coffins to me..."

Ye Yaodong was full of black lines on his head, "Then what? Is it done?"

"I just finished processing it before I left. After all, there was no place to store it. He asked for help everywhere, and the sales staff of the factory also ran around and visited all the processing plants in the local area. He also asked your friends in the Chamber of Commerce to help introduce the bosses and act as a go-between."

"Then as soon as you left, another ship arrived..."

"Uncle Ye was in the factory when he heard someone come over and say that the fresh-food ship had returned, and that there were more goods than on my ship. His legs went weak and he sat on the ground and screamed, 'This is life or death...'"

"..."

"I think Uncle Ye may not be able to handle it..."

Ye Yaodong frowned, "I'm also worried about going back like this..."

He was a little hesitant. He had only been out for ten days and had just gotten familiar with the boats. It would take him at least half a month to go back to sea after he had some work to do.

"Then take a look. I don't know what your planning charter is."

"Let me think about it and give it some thought."

"Before I left, your father also told me to tell you that if you can get rid of any cargo at sea, you should go back as soon as possible. He can't hold on. He can't handle so much cargo in a row. He also said that you should come back first and ask the fishing boats to come back as well. You can catch less fish nearby. When you have sorted out the matters on the shore, you can find a few more people to take charge, and he will just watch over it."

"Let me think about it."

The original intention of this trip was to explore the route, familiarize ourselves with it, and take a look at the situation so that we could make targeted arrangements later.

No one knows what the situation will be like without actually doing the work. Not to mention the workers, even he is unsure. Everything has to be adapted to local conditions. Only after doing the work can one know where the problems are and how to solve them.

After Ye Yaodong understood the situation, he watched everyone moving the goods while wondering whether he should go back early.

It was a simple matter for him to go back, but he was afraid that these three ships had just arrived in unfamiliar waters so far away, and he, the main force, would feel uneasy and uncertain without them.

Let the captain of ship No. 5 go to direct the loading of cargo. He patted Lao Xiao on the shoulder and called him aside.

"Cousin, what do you say I should go back directly?"

"What? What will I do if you leave?" Lao Xiao's eyes widened in shock, and he became anxious in an instant, "You can't leave. If you leave, everyone will be worried."

"My father may not be able to handle so much goods, so he sent a message asking me to return as soon as possible, otherwise the goods will not be sold and will just go bad."

"I'm not here, so you guys just do what you need to do. Just like the past few days, you can adapt to any situation and discuss and solve it."

"Don't think too much. Don't always think this place is too far away. Think of this as near the sea. Make your own decisions when you encounter a situation."

"I think the rain has stopped today, so it should be clear tomorrow. There will be stars in the sky tonight."

Old Xiao frowned bitterly, "You clearly said a few days ago that we would return at least in the middle or late part of the month after the boats are familiar with the trips."

"Isn't this a case of plans failing to keep up with changes? If my father can't handle so much cargo, then it won't be useless no matter how much we catch?"

"Do you really have to go back immediately?"

"I'm wondering whether I should go back with this boat or with the next seafood boat."

"Collecting fresh food!"

Ye Yaodong knew that he didn't want to leave the sea, because if he left, there would be no one to take charge and he was afraid of having no backbone.

Although he is young, he is the boss after all, and his presence on the ship means something different to everyone.

After Lao Xiao finished speaking, he said, "Why don't you talk to the other ships first?"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, looked ahead with empty eyes, and was thinking.

"Or we can just go back and deal with the accidents and situations that happened this time. We also need to prepare some supporting facilities. Then we can continue fishing offshore for another half a year. When the preparations are complete in the spring of next year, several boats can come together."

He thought that this would maximize efficiency and avoid the problem of shortage of both manpower and boats. He had already been fishing in the near sea for so long, so another half a year wouldn't hurt.

Now that I've come out, I've also learned about the situation in this sea area these days and the approximate daily catch volume.

He already has countermeasures, and now he just has to wait for time for someone to get a boat.

And he did have a lot of things he needed to deal with when he got back, so it would be better for them to return as a group and come out again after everything was ready. Anyway, this trip was just to explore the route and get familiar with the place.

When Lao Xiao heard him say that, his eyes lit up. "That's good. That's even better. We can just go back and fish for another half a year. When everything is ready, we can come out again. This way, we won't have to worry about losing two fishing boats and turning them into freshwater fishing boats."

"Let me think about it first. It's not the right time to go back."

"Of course. The people have just been delivered, and this boat has just come to deliver the goods. The fishing nets on this boat are still gone. We have to wait until all our boats are fully loaded and return with full loads. Otherwise, the fuel cost for this trip will be very high."

"Well, don't be too happy yet. Let me think about the plan first."

"Hey, think about it carefully first."

"Just watch here, I'll go up and figure it out."

After Ye Yaodong finished explaining, he went up to the cockpit, opened the rear door, took out the paper and pen from his rest cabin, and looked at what he had recorded in the notebook, making circles and drawings.

As he was thinking, he couldn't help but start turning the pen in his hand.

After much thought, he decided that it would be better to just take the three boats and go back directly. There was no need to wait until July when a typhoon was about to hit before going back.

Although the volume is large, the supporting facilities and manpower cannot keep up. I have to worry every day about when the next ship will come. It would be better to go back and solve the problem first, and then come back to solve it once and for all.

His father also urgently wanted him to go back quickly, and he was indeed worried.

Although this trip lasted only about 10 days, I gained a lot.

He circled the date and made up his mind.

But it’s not time to return now. Not to mention the seafood collection ship is on the way, ship No. 4 may also have to depart from the port.

Ship No. 5 can contact Ship No. 4 on its way back. If it sets out, let it go directly to the near sea to find Dongsheng and his crew to fish.

Their routes were planned, so they might not necessarily bump into each other, but they could definitely get in touch by calling each other on the public channel every half hour.

Their three boats would wait for the fresh fish collection boat to arrive, take away a batch, and then return with full boats.

He calculated that this was the best option.

You won't suffer any loss and you will make some money in the end.

If his father cannot handle the cargo on the two returning ships, he will have time to deal with it after he returns with full cargo.

After thinking it through, he went to talk to Lao Xiao and only after getting Lao Xiao's full approval did he contact other fishing boats.

Of course the other fishing boats had nothing to say. Not to mention that they all agreed, even if they disagreed, they still had to consider that he was the boss.

After Ye Yaodong discussed with several ships, he also instructed Ship No. 5 to contact Ship No. 4 on the way and stop them first in the near sea.

The workers knew that it would not take long for the ship to be full and return, and they were very happy. They had originally estimated that this trip would take more than two months, but they did not expect that it would take less than a month to return. Everyone was very happy, and even their spirits were much better.

After making the decision, Ye Yaodong felt relaxed and happy.

I will be able to go back and rest soon. If I can avoid working, who would want to stay on the sea every day?

Every bit of work he does now, every bit of hardship he endures, is for the workers who work for him to have food to eat and a steady income!
After Ship No. 5 collected the cargo from his ship, it took turns to collect cargo from other ships. By the time they finished, it was already daybreak.

Before returning, he also gave some instructions for Boat No. 5, asking him to remember to tell his father to grit his teeth and hold on for a few more days, and to leave it there until he returns if he really can't handle it.

As expected, the sky cleared up today. After a few days of rain, we suddenly saw the sun. Everyone was in a particularly good mood. Plus, we knew we could go back early, so everyone had a smile on their face early in the morning.

Ye Yaodong teased, "You really don't want to do this, you want to go back?"

"Ah ha? Where? Isn't this what you said?"

"We all listen to you, boss."

"Don't be happy too soon. It won't be that fast. It will take two days for the next seafood boat to arrive. And if our fishing boats are full, it will take another four or five days. Be prepared to fight for another week."

The smiles on everyone's faces fell a little in an instant.

I just thought I could go back after the boat was full, and didn't calculate the time. Damn, isn't there still a week left?

Lao Xiao said, "It only took a week to get back. How fast! Otherwise, it would have taken two months."

"Hehe, that's true. A week has passed quickly. We have been out for more than 10 days, right?"

"It was mainly because it rained for most of this period, and it was heavy rain, so it felt like this period was very long. Now it's sunny, and the day has passed quickly."

"Keep working hard and hold on. I'm going to sleep now."

After staying up all night and sending ship No. 5 away, he felt sleepy.

The weather looks good today and the waves are not that high, so you can sleep peacefully without worrying too much.

It rained the past few nights, so he had to stay awake every night to watch, and he probably only slept three or four hours a day.

Today I decided to go back in a week. I was relaxed. I just touched the red coral for a while while lying on the bed, and my eyelids started to droop. I could only put the coral next to the pillow and go to sleep.

The most expensive treasure of this trip is probably this red coral, which can appreciate in value and can be taken out and appreciated openly.

And yesterday, when everyone was sorting, they saw that the various small corals were not thrown away and accumulated to half a basket.

He let everyone pick whatever they wanted and he would put the rest away himself.

He had already taken the big ones, and he didn’t care about the rest. He had a lot at home, and he could accumulate more in the future.
