Back to the small fishing village in 1982

A Guang's face was full of envy. He couldn't get his capital back in one month, but he managed to get it back in two months.

"Mad, how come it's so easy for you to make money? You can do whatever you want and earn money whenever you want?"

"So you have to be bold, take action when you see something you like, and don't hesitate."

"Tsk tsk tsk, these days I've seen 20 or so packages of goods coming in from that website, it's amazing, it takes an hour to load and unload, not to mention sorting."

"Get one?"

"It would be great if we could make one. I'll think about it when I get back."

"My eldest and second brothers were determined to do one this time."

Ah Guang looked at him in surprise. "I was wondering why your elder and second brothers were so generous this time? They are usually stingy and hesitant, so why are they so cruel this time?"

"I don't know, maybe he figured it out."

"Are they that rich?"

"If not, just empty your savings and pay a deposit, and we'll figure out the rest after delivery. If you can't make up the difference, I'll back them up."

"Then you have to support me too!" A Guang smiled at him ingratiatingly.

He glanced over and said, "Okay, nine out and thirteen back."

"Fuck... you're taking advantage of the situation."

"Shut up, hurry up and clean up the deck and get ready to return. Everyone has almost finished their preparations."

"Got it. I'll go back and take a look and think about it first. I also need to make a plan for the other ships I have."

"Okay, you should figure out the rules and arrangements first. Or don't be in a hurry. If you make a reservation, it won't be that fast. Plans can't keep up with changes. Just think about it after you make the reservation."

"Well, I have to discuss this with Huimei first."

"Let's talk about it after we get back. Now let's do the things at hand. I'm busy."

A Guang quickly went to perform.

Ye Yaodong held the loudspeaker and shouted: "Collect the winch cable!"

The workers below also responded loudly and put away the detection equipment at the same time.

The sonar probe was dragged onto the deck, dripping with water, and workers used clean water to rinse the luminous jellyfish debris attached to the sensor.

There was a muffled sound coming from the engine room. Lao Chen was leading people to replace the filter element of the main engine. Black smoke mixed with salt crystals spewed out from the exhaust hole, drawing three crooked gray lines in the twilight.

Captain No. 2 suddenly reported: "There is a suspicious echo three nautical miles to the starboard side."

Ye Yaodong responded and raised the telescope. It was a group of dolphins chasing flying fish. Their silver-gray dorsal fins cut through the waves, marking a safe deep-water channel for the fleet.

"It's okay, hurry up and prepare for the return trip, it's getting dark."

"receive."

After giving the order, Ye Yaodong had nothing to do. He had to wait until the other two ships were ready before he could go back. Now he could only watch the workers coming and going busy, so he stood on the deck to get some fresh air and looked around with a telescope.

After looking for a while, he went down to the deck to see the finishing work done by everyone. He wanted to check whether the fish caught in the past few days were properly stacked. These were all money, and the warehouse was full.

After checking it, he went to check whether the navigation system such as radar and VHF radio communication equipment were normal to ensure that they could receive the latest weather forecast.

It is also necessary to check the power system and confirm that the main engine, steering gear, and anchor equipment are in good condition to avoid malfunctions on the way back.

Ah Zheng watched him turn around, look at this, look at that, and kept asking questions. He smiled and said, "You act like you are a professional and know everything?"

Ye Yaodong glared at him with a straight face, "I don't understand, do you? Have you packed up the fishing gear and nets? Have you disassembled and fixed them? Have you checked if there's any damage?"

"I checked it out. It was cut by a big shark a few days ago. There are no other problems."

"No problem, go and help with the sorting. Why are you waiting for me?"

"I saw you walking around asking about radar and power systems. I felt like you knew a lot, so I came over to listen."

"I know a lot."

The chief engineer also said, "Indeed, the boss is amazing. He knows things that everyone else doesn't know. He is very experienced and every command and arrangement is appropriate without any mistakes. It doesn't seem like he is in the deep sea for the first time at all. He is really amazing."

Ah Zheng pursed his lips...

Ye Yaodong raised his fist towards him, "Are you not convinced?"

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced. I've been here for several days, how could I not know how powerful you are? There will be many opportunities for you to rely on our boss Dong in the future."

"If you know, go to work quickly, or I won't help you make money."

"How long will it take to set sail?"

"About half an hour to an hour, depending on how the two ships are prepared."

"Oh, it's really annoying."

"A few days ago, I asked you to go back with the seafood boat, but you refused."

"These are two different things. Now that we are here, how can we just leave without doing anything? It's just right to stay for two or three days to experience it. Let's go to the cockpit. Teach me what's in your cockpit."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong finished the inspection and was planning to go up.

Seeing how diligent they have been these past few days, he felt like going back and doing the same as his older brothers and impulsively booking a boat.

It was just over three days, and there was a shipload of goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who wouldn't be confused?
He was so excited that he wanted to go back and do it again, and took out all the money he had saved.

If you have never been here, no one knows what the situation is like in the deep sea. Only after coming here do you have a deep understanding of it.

After waiting for an hour, the two ships reported that everything was ready and they could return at any time. Only then did Ye Yaodong press the whistle button.

When a long whistle sounded, the workers immediately understood that it was time to go back, and they all started moving.

The other two boats heard the air whistle sounding from his side and also started to sound the whistle one after another.

Ah Zheng also held the loudspeaker and shouted excitedly: "We are returning, we are returning..."

When the last sunset glow was swallowed up by the night, three ships lit up their red sidelights and the fishing boats dragged their tired bodies through the sea surface filled with sunset glow.

Ye Yaodong's boat was leading the way, with tiny phosphorescent lights dancing in the waves at the stern, like shining silver coins scattered along the way. The two boats behind it followed closely behind.

The workers on the deck were still sorting the cargo that had been hauled up in the last net, and they couldn't rest until they finished the work.

Fortunately, we are about to return. If everything goes well, we will be able to dock the night after tomorrow or the morning after tomorrow.

Now that it is done, the rest of the voyage will be easy, as long as we maintain some machines.

He was not bored either. Whenever his childhood friends had free time, they would come to him in the cockpit and ask him to teach them how to identify and use these instruments.

He came over again when he was on shift at night.

"I suggest you go and learn it. You have time now so you don't have to stay at sea all the time. It will be good to learn it and you will be able to get started quickly when the time comes."

Ah Guang responded, "I know. I'll learn from you when I get back. When you go out to sea again, I'll work as your boatman for a few days."

Ah Zheng also rushed to say: "I will give you a few days off as a boatman, too."

Xiao Xiao was not willing to be left behind, "I'll work for you too..."

"A few days is not enough. I will wait until the new year to complete the preparations before coming out. By then, it will take several months. A few days is nothing."

Ah Guang said quickly, "It's okay. Isn't there a freshwater ship that goes out every two days to collect the goods? If we really can't handle it, we can always follow the freshwater ship back."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever. There's no salary for you anyway."

"Just provide food and lodging."

"Go and have a rest. It's late. Go back and study. Then I'll give you practical guidance. This way you can remember it. Otherwise, you'll forget it when you go back."

"Okay, let's go to bed then."

He has already returned, and he wants to hold on a little longer. He will watch over it by himself at night so that he can be more at ease, and let others take over the daytime shifts. It will only be about two nights anyway.

In two days, they returned from the deep sea to the nearshore, and the edge of the continental shelf was clearly visible.

The smell of sea water became weaker and weaker, no longer the pure, salty scent of the deep sea, but the fishy smell mixed with mud and sand on the shore.

The water near the shore was still a turbid khaki color, but as the line of sight extended behind me, the color gradually deepened and turned into a heavy dark blue.

The coordinates of the Funashi Islands (29°56′N, 122°12′E) are getting closer and closer.

The sky was already turning pale. Ye Yaodong rubbed his sore eyes and said to Lao Xiao, who was taking over, "Keep heading 125 degrees. Call me when you see the lighthouse of Zhoushi Islands. I'm going to take a nap."

"Okay, go and have a rest. We should be there in a few hours. Take a nap first, otherwise it will take a long time to unload the cargo."

He nodded. "I estimate it will take at least five or six hours. I'm going to take a nap. Call me when you see the lighthouse."

It was because he considered that the three ships would not be able to unload cargo so quickly after docking that he wanted to take a rest and recuperate a little. He would still be busy after docking.

It should be said that he must have been very busy after docking.

The cargo on the 3 large ships was not a small amount, and the fresh-collecting ship ahead of him had only set out three days earlier than him. He didn't know whether his father had handled it. If not, he would still have a headache.

When he was woken up again, the outline of the Zhoushan Islands was faintly visible in the distance.

"Didn't you say you would call me if you saw the lighthouse? Why are you calling me now?"

"I thought you've been working hard these past few days, so I wanted you to get some more sleep. Anyway, we haven't reached the shore yet, and we're still offshore, so we can handle it."

"Ah."

He looked at his watch. It was past ten o'clock. The return journey took about two and a half days.

"Notify everyone to prepare for the fishing boats to dock."

Near the shore, the turbid yellow-green sea waves began to be mixed with garbage and dead branches, and occasionally one or two silver mullets startled by the propeller flashed by.

A group of red-billed gulls circled around the stern of the ship, vying for the minced fish entrails stirred up by the winch. Their cries mixed with the roar of the diesel engine, making the scene quite lively.

The red beacon of the breakwater came into view first, flickering like the pipe of an old fisherman.

As the fishing boat slowly turned toward the port, it brushed past a patch of floating Sargassum. Amid the golden-brown seaweed, a few small transparent moon jellyfish were opening and closing, like glass buttons scattered by someone.

Ye Yaodong held the telescope and let out a long sigh. He was almost exhausted and all the pressure was on him.

This fishing trip lasted 20 days and ended successfully.

After he took over the cockpit, he took the lead in downgrading the power system.

The diesel engine switched from navigation gear to maneuvering gear, and the speed dropped to 600 rpm to prevent the wake from overturning the boat.

Shut down unnecessary radars, sonars and other equipment, and put the backup generators on standby for hot start, as the voltage in the port area is unstable and prone to tripping.

It is also necessary to adjust the attitude of the hull and balance the ballast water tanks.

Workers also need to check whether the gangway and cable guide holes are blocked by fishing net debris.

Positioning and calibration are also required, and the second mate holds a laser rangefinder to report the distance to the dock in real time.

At 30 meters from the shore, without his instructions, the workers knew to throw out the light tow line, and the dock workers responded with hooks and rods, giving priority to fixing the bow to resist the side wind.

By the way, the dock workers also need to verify whether the dock they are entering is the one they rent and whether it has expired.

He also has to control the main engine to reverse briefly for 2-3 seconds to offset inertia and adjust the height of the gangway to match the tide level.

They were safely docked once the workers had used poles to hold the dock in place to prevent scratches on the steel hull.

Finally, hang the corresponding flag and it's done.

Different flags on a ship correspond to different signals, and there are many things to pay attention to. Although it is not so standardized now, it has begun to be implemented.

He was a good citizen and was accustomed to the pattern of his previous life, so he had long made sure everything followed rules and regulations.

When the “red” flag reaches the top, it means “starting to dock”.

The "white" flag is a square flag, with white and red each accounting for half vertically, which means: I have completed docking.

A Guang looked up at the flag hanging there curiously, and said in surprise: "Dongzi, why do you think your ship is so standard? It feels so standardized? I don't think other ships have it?"

"I call this compliance with rules and regulations. They are just half-baked. They save as much as they can. If they don't follow the rules and regulations, they will be fined sooner or later."

"Really?"

"Well, what does your flag mean?"

"I have already docked at the pier. Excuse me, I am still very busy."

After Ye Yaodong and others completed the docking procedures, he clapped his hands and cleared his throat.

"Comrades, thank you for your hard work. This trip has ended successfully, but there is still a full ship of cargo to be unloaded."

"But before unloading, there are other things to do. Everyone wait for the notification to unload. Guang will go back and notify my father first."

"Wait until I have arranged the rules before unloading. Once these three shipments are processed, I will give everyone a week off so that they can have a good rest."

Everyone responded, "Oh..."

With so much cargo, he couldn't unload it at the base camp or the processing plant, so he had to find a buyer first.

This also reminded him that he needed to build an ice storage.

After finishing the things at hand, he first determined how much area the processing plant would expand and how much of the application had been approved.
Then plan it carefully. At least there needs to be a storage space, and a processing plant is also needed, so that any goods can be moved directly when the time comes.

He is also a half-baked person with little experience. He just takes things one step at a time without any plans. He only does things when he thinks of them and can only improve them step by step.

Ps: I am so tired. I couldn’t sleep last night and went to bed at 3 a.m. I got up at 6 a.m. and knelt down in mourning clothes.

I woke up today with a headache and sore throat. There were so many people here, and everyone was infected with a cold.

It’s the last show in the evening, and the master has to work until midnight before leaving. The funeral will be at 0am tomorrow morning, so we’ll be done with it tomorrow.

People who have never worked in the fields don’t know how tiring it is, but handling a funeral is really tiring.
