Chapter 1241 Plan

The two drank until midnight, and both were drunk. Ye Yaodong was still a little sober. Worried that he could not go back, he asked the twins to help deliver it, and asked someone to send the basket of sea urchins as well.

The next day, Fang Jingfu touched his pocket and found that he didn't know when there was an extra form. He thought for a long time before he remembered it. He was alert in his heart and decided not to stamp it casually in the future.

Fortunately, it was just an innocuous application form. What if it was an important contract or something else, wouldn't it be a disaster if he stamped it directly?

In other words, he went there directly after get off work, so the seal was still on him. This also gave him a warning not to carry it with him next time.

Ye Yaodong slept until noon the next day and felt a headache. He drank two bowls of boiled water and walked around in the yard to wake up.

Others took advantage of not having to work in the morning and ran out for a stroll.

I didn't have a chance to go out yesterday when I just arrived, so of course I had to go out today to call my family and take a walk around.

Ye Yaodong thought so too. He got up too early yesterday and had no place to call. He came back too late and didn't have time to call back to report that he was safe.

That is, it was not his first time to come here. He had made several trips this year, so his family would not worry that he did not call back immediately to report that he was safe.

It was the old lady who kept nagging him when she answered the phone, asking him to call back more often to report that he was safe, and not to not call back like she did yesterday.

After reporting that he was safe, he went to the Fisheries Association to report again, submitted the application forms of the villagers, and then submitted the proposal signed by him and Fang Jingfu.

Anyway, Fang Jingfu had already submitted one, so he didn't care whether it was approved or not.

After finishing all this, he saw that it was not long before the end of get off work, so he went to the door of the Coast Guard Bureau to wait for Zeng Weimin, followed him all the way to greet him, talked about the recent situation while walking, and then sent him home, and put down the specialties he brought and the sea urchins caught yesterday for him.

No matter if there is something going on, you have to visit them when you come, and you have to maintain a good relationship, no matter if you can use it or not.

After refusing his offer to keep him for dinner, Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle back home.

After lunch, he took people out to sea again without stopping, but as soon as he arrived at the dock, he heard a group of people in twos and threes, chattering about something he couldn't understand.

He listened curiously for a long time, and then he understood the words suffocation and sea urchin.

He pulled out two cigarettes and asked someone about it, only to find out that someone went diving this morning to dig sea urchins, but held his breath for too long, resulting in lack of oxygen and loss of consciousness.

Fortunately, there were brothers on the boat, who felt that it was wrong to delay for too long, and the rope that was tied was sinking all the time, so they quickly pulled up the rope and rescued the person.

It was said that fortunately when they went into the water, they took precautions and tied a rope around their waists, so they could pull the person up, but because of the air pressure problem and suffocation, he was half dead, and it was not known whether he could survive after being sent to the hospital.

After listening, he returned to his boat.

"Boss, what are those local guys discussing?"

"It seems like they are holding back something bad, they keep listening to sea urchins, are they thinking about our sea urchins..."

"No..."

Ye Yaodong told them about it, which made them sigh.

"This is the trouble caused by greed. They must have seen that we caught a lot of sea urchins yesterday."

"Let's go, don't worry about them, it's too late to go out at this time..."

After saying that, he went to drive the boat. Others were still talking there, saying that it would be good to scare them, so no one would dare to think about sea urchins.

Today, I only worked for half a day and then I finished work, but at least I earned a day's wages and food expenses.

There are more than a dozen mouths, and the daily wages and meals are a lot of money. If there is no accident, I definitely can't take a break, so he went out to sea without stopping yesterday, and today I only spared half a day to do things.

The next few days were calm. Although some people on the dock were jealous of their large harvest of sea urchins every day, they simply didn't have the ability to go into the water.

Some people also wanted to take advantage of their fishing boats, but Ye Yaodong always had people on duty sleeping on the boat. When the equipment was not in use, it was moved to the small cabin and locked. No one knew how they went into the water, and no one could find out.

In addition, jellyfish have been floating on the sea surface intermittently in recent days, and some of the locals' attention has shifted, and the topic of discussion has shifted to jellyfish.

Of course, it has also shifted to these outsiders, and they are all wondering if these outsiders are going to come again.

Then it can be linked to the chaos of last year.

The memory of the people is short, but as long as it concerns themselves and happens around them, they will remember it clearly.

As the jellyfish began to float up little by little, the dock became more and more lively, and more and more fishing boats stayed in the trench every day.

More and more fishing boats found that they were fishing for sea urchins here. Only Ye Yaodong had more people on his boat, with more than ten people standing on the boat. The locals were also worried about the bloodshed last year, and they could do nothing about them, so they could only watch.

The Ocean Bureau has also recently begun to strengthen its precautions, and the law enforcement ships patrolling the sea have also focused on this area, so Ye Yaodong can continue to fish with peace of mind.

However, no matter how at ease he was, he was still on guard against the local boats around him. Fortunately, he didn't need to go into the water and could keep an eye on the boat.

There were also some local boats that came over to ask questions, and he also answered a few words politely.

There were people who wanted to keep watch in the surrounding area to catch the jellyfish that floated up intermittently, and he would let them go. As long as the water in the well did not interfere with the river, he would not look down on those that floated up.

Until the beginning of the month, when the number of jellyfish gradually increased, the number of fishing boats also increased, and they gradually moved away from the surroundings of the mountain.

After two or three consecutive years of salvaging, the sea urchins in the inner area have been almost cleared away, and they can only be mined gradually along the ditch, which also avoids the gathering of more and more fishing boats inside.

However, he heard from the workers who launched the trench that the farther out, the smaller the gaps in the trench, and the gaps on the inside were larger, so the jellyfish used to be concentrated inside, and there were fewer outside, so they could only float out from the inside.

When they salvage farther out, the gap in the trench becomes smaller, and two people cannot squeeze in. They can only squeeze in side by side, not back to back.

And looking at the gap getting smaller and smaller, everyone is not afraid to go down anymore. Because the length of the air tube is limited, they cannot go down too deep. However, the current gap can still accommodate it. When the gap is too small, there will be no need to worry. Not too late.

The main reason is that there is more equipment this year, and they came to salvage in advance, so the efficiency is very fast. The daily harvest is two or three times that of last year, and six or seven times that of the year before. The speed of gradually moving outward is also faster.

Ye Yaodong also called back at the end of the month, but his father went to sea and did not come back.

He could only leave a message with Ah Qing to ask his father not to go to sea on the next trip. Then he calculated the time and called back on the 3rd, and his father received the call.

He felt relieved knowing that he had been preparing to come over for the past two days and would set off the day after tomorrow and arrive in the evening or dark the day after tomorrow.

By the way, we also ask people who are taking turns at home to go out and inquire about it and help them rent the house in advance.

After calculating the time, Ye Yaodong directly asked the truck from the factory to drive out to pick up people the day after tomorrow, because not only his father was on the same boat, but his two brothers and A Guang also had friends, and he had to pick them up by the way.

Others really have no choice. He can't control everyone, and one car can't pull one or two hundred people.

Most of them came last year, and some of them later rented houses. If they arrive now, let them find the houses they rented last year and negotiate with the landlord.

After he distributed the fishing signs issued by the fishery association to them, he said a few words about safety and took away the people he wanted to pick up.

But some people at the back couldn't find a place to stay and wanted to find him. He opened the courtyard door directly to show everyone. The paving had been built in his courtyard, so they all had no choice but to find other people to rent together. Or help.

Ye Yaodong also knows that these are inevitable, who makes him the big brother who takes the lead.

He himself brought 16 people here, and Father Ye did not bring more people on this trip. He only had 6 people on the Dongsheng. In total, his small courtyard can accommodate 23 people, plus the twins, which are 25.

Fortunately, everyone just needs a place to lie down, and nothing matters.

As soon as Father Ye arrived at the place, he sat down and took out his hookah, filling it with shredded tobacco and saying.

"Everyone was worried about whether there would be risks this year, but when the time came, they knew I was leaving and they hurriedly followed me. They also brought all the relatives who could support me."

"Let them make their own arrangements. I can't control too much. It's up to God whether they make money or lose money. I'm not the God of Wealth. I guarantee the profits for them."

"Um."

"How is the sea now?"

"Not good, just like that?"

"What's that like? What's going on?"

"The local boats are all guarding the trench area. There are more boats than jellyfish. No one is willing to leave for fear of giving others an advantage."

Father Ye paused for a moment and frowned, "Then what else can we get?"

"Fortunately, I have been very efficient these days and have moved to the outside. I only catch my sea urchins. In addition, because more fishing boats have gathered, law enforcement boats have also come over to monitor the surroundings. It seems a lot safer. "

"It's safe to be safe, but with so many ships, it seems like we won't be able to make a lot of money this year." Father Ye smoked a few water pipes, puffing out his mouth and nose.

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. As long as the first batch of crab eaters have already earned, we will see what happens later.

After everyone settled down, they all immediately geared up to go to sea early in the morning the next day.

Unexpectedly, the real scene gave them a slap in the face.

When they arrived at the trench, it was true as Ye Yaodong said. They were all boats, densely packed with boats. Even the small wooden boats were dragged over. There were a bunch of big and small ones that couldn't be squeezed in. There were more boats than jellyfish.

Ye Yaodong also gave up fishing for sea urchins.

They only sent out one small boat today. The situation was unknown, so there was no need to send out all the boats.

The others also frowned and cursed on their respective boats.

"What the hell..."

"It seems that we can only trawl the net first..."

"I can only try my luck and go out and look for it."

"Then...then I brought out several boats, what should I do?"

Please close the browser reading mode before viewing this chapter, otherwise you will be unable to turn pages or the chapter content will be lost.

Father Ye whispered next to Ye Yaodong: "How can there be a swarm of jellyfish gathering like this?"

Ye Yaodong felt the same way.

If you want jellyfish to gather in groups, you have to give them time to gather. If one comes and one goes, what can you do?

Just like serving dishes, they are served one by one. If the speed is slow, one person will eat with one chopstick, and the food will be gone. When one dish is served, the other is empty, and everyone is waiting for the next dish with chopsticks.

But the speed of serving dishes is fast, and everyone is scrambling to eat. They rush to use the plates to transfer food to their own bowls, but the plates are still empty. There is no food left on the table for people to eat slowly.

"What should we do, Dongzi? We have so many people. The wages alone are more than 100 yuan a day, and we have to eat and drink..."

"Nothing to do, let's see what happens. Now you can't ask me, I can't come up with a method, and I can't kill all these people to make room."

"Those who followed this year should regret it."

"Go back, there is no point in staying here any longer, go home and rest first, and those who should report safety should call and report safety when you go back."

"Okay."

Father Ye felt that there was no point in staying here any longer.

The workers on the boat looked at each other, feeling a little helpless. Could it be that they could not earn their wages and had to go home directly?

The people on other boats were even more nervous.

They panicked when they saw Ye Yaodong turn around and leave. He was the backbone. If he left, how could they stay where they were?

The fishing boats hurriedly followed him back.

As soon as he landed, the others followed him back. As soon as they got ashore, they surrounded him and asked him for advice.

But what ideas could Ye Yaodong have?

They just asked everyone to go back and talk about it. At this time, people coming and going on the shore were all looking at them.

A large group of people followed him, and the locals were so scared that they all stayed away and pointed at them.

"Adong, what should we do now? So many boats are all gathered there, we can't salvage..."

"Yeah, what should we do? We borrowed money to buy a boat this year and hired people. What should we do now..."

"Why are there so many boats? Why didn't you tell me when I called a few days ago..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the person who was talking, "Can the situation be the same every day? The flood season is coming soon, and the cargo is starting to increase. Of course, there are more and more boats every day. It's not a must to make money. If you decide to come here, you have to bear the risks of coming here."

"It's okay if you don't make money, but what if someone dies? Or goes to jail? What happened last year? Most people saw it. The locals and the people in the town were so miserable, and you dared to come here this year. What are you talking about now?"

He didn't fight back, but just said something plain and speechless.

"Then...what should we do?"

"Nothing to do. Fish according to the situation. Fish as you need to. If you think there are too many people and it's not worthwhile to compete with so many people, then go trawling and wait for the peak season. Small boats can also catch some by paddling around the coast, and they won't lose money. You can decide for yourself."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.

"Then, what are you going to do?"

"Let the big boat trawle the net, and come back to salvage after a few days."

"Oh..."

Everyone was whispering in his yard to discuss countermeasures.

And the owners of the Fengshou, Shunfeng, and Mancang all ran to him to ask.

Ye Yaodong said the same thing, asking his father to drive the Dongsheng and take their three boats out to sea to trawle. He would drive the fresh collection boat and go out to sea to collect goods every other day, and bring news by the way.

Both sides would be not delayed, and the benefits could be maximized under the current situation. They could make money without losing money, and all the boats could be used instead of being idle.

This is what he thought about on the way back. You can't just watch like this. You have to find a way to make money first.

Zhou Da is the boss of Mancanghao. After thinking it through, he agreed, "That's fine, as long as you don't just sit there and watch. So many mouths need to eat."

Ye Yaopeng and Pei's father also agreed that they had no objection. You have to make money first before you can talk about other things.

They are the first ones to eat crabs, and they are also mentally prepared. No matter how hard it is to make money this year, they will not lose much.

After they finalized it, the others didn't care about it, and let everyone discuss and arrange it.

After all, everyone has different types of fishing boats, and their choices are definitely different.

However, most people choose to trawl at night. At worst, they will come back to see the situation after dawn.

Please turn off the browser reading mode to view this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the page or the chapter content will be lost.

And those small wooden boats brought out by relatives and friends can only try their luck to salvage some around the coast.

After they decided on how to arrange it, they shook their heads and sighed as they left Ye Yaodong's house.

His yard was vacated instantly, and it was not so noisy anymore. Only a few close relatives and friends were still there.

Ye's father frowned and said, "Dongzi, do you think it would be better for those people to go back directly? It would save them money."

"Since we are here, how can we go back empty-handed and be laughed at? We have to wait and see for a few days before we can say anything."

Ye's father said nothing more.

Ye Yaodong looked at A Guang, "We just arrived yesterday, and we were busy arranging and settling down, so we didn't have time to talk. Your father is here too, what about your stepmother?"

"My father is worried about the situation here. Besides, I have to collect the goods, and my brother is not old yet, so he still needs to come over to help open the harvest number. Aunt Ma can only ask her two married daughters to come here in turn. Look after.”

"Oh, are you about to give birth?"

"Well, it's almost next month."

"It's so easy to give birth to."

Aguang didn't comment.

They only stayed for a short time and then left. They also had to find a place to call back to report that they were safe.

At night, all the foreign fishing boats went out to sea to trawl nets. Only Ye Yaodong and the people he brought with him stayed at home and went out to sea during the next day to see the situation.

However, when he came back at noon, he suddenly heard Aguang say that Uncle Zheng had temporarily decided to sail to Zhoushi with his friend after returning yesterday.

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Zhou City? Are they going to go with just two boats?"

"Yes, a few boats from their village wanted to stay here and watch, so they didn't follow them. He and his friends went to sail, saying that it didn't make much sense to stay here."

"oh……"

Father Ye asked curiously: "What are you going to catch there at this time? It's not that there are shrimp skins only when the weather is cold. Lao Zheng and his friends were fishing for shrimp skins up there before, right?"

"Yes, it is said that it is one of the four famous fishing grounds in the country. The shrimp fishermen are in Shenjiamen. They plan to go to Zhoushi Fishing Ground."

"I often hear them talk about it, and your father is almost encouraged to go there."

A Guang nodded, "Yes, I told my dad after I went back yesterday, but my dad was a little hesitant. Thinking that I had to be here, he didn't follow. Otherwise, he would have wanted to go and have a look. I’ve always heard them boast about how good it is, but now it seems like you can’t make a lot of money here.”

Ye Yaodong was also a little moved when he heard this. He knew about Zhoushi Fishing Ground, one of the four largest fishing grounds in our country.

However, when he was working as a boatman in his previous life, he fished in the South China Sea and did not go up. After all, people who work for people have no right to speak. They work wherever they go, and they can go wherever the boat boss says.

"How long does it take to drive from here?"

"It takes one day and one night."

Father Ye was speechless, "How long has it been?"

"Um."

Ye Yaodong asked: "Then they came over temporarily and couldn't contact them even if they wanted to call to ask about the situation?"

"I copied the phone number of the post office. Uncle Zheng made an appointment with my father to call him at 4 pm three days later. My father asked me to go to the post office and wait in advance. He was afraid that if they went out on two boats, they would arrive I don’t even know if I’ve lost contact at that time, so I’ll make a call at a certain time so that I can feel more at ease. Otherwise, if something happens then, his family will definitely have to ask my dad.”

"That's okay. After all, you came out together, but the two boats went to other places."

"That's right. Let me ask you by the way if they make any money."

"Then wait until then and ask. They set off at night, so they can probably arrive tonight. After two days at sea, we can probably know the local fishing conditions."

Ye Yaodong knew that in his previous life, Father Pei was instigated by Uncle Zheng to go up there together, taking his family with him.

"Look, you can't just ignore the jellyfish here and run away after hearing that the fishing conditions are good up there, right?"

"It's not impossible."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin. With the size of the Dongsheng, it would be no problem to go to Zhoushi. Plus, wouldn't there be a fresh harvesting ship?

I originally came here to make money, but it seems like it’s a little hard to make money here now. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to change to a place where I can make more money?

It's just that it's farther away, harder to grasp, and the risk you need to take is greater. If there aren't enough benefits, it's not worth the trip. You might as well stay here.

With the fresh harvest ship around, he can still earn more than anyone else. He can earn more than anyone else, and it is enough for him.

A Guang was a little surprised when he saw the thoughtful expression on his face, "Are you serious?"

Please close the browser reading mode before viewing this chapter, otherwise you will be unable to turn pages or the chapter content will be lost.

"No, I'm telling you, unless I can make a lot of money and earn more than here, why would I want to live far away?"

"To tell you the truth, didn't you see me driving a fresh-picking boat over? I'm going to..."

"Ah? You even drove a fresh-harvest boat over?"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see that big boat parked at the pier?"

"What the hell do I know? When you came over, my feet had just landed, and I didn't know you were gone until the next day. You didn't drive the fresh-picking boat yesterday, so how did I know that the boat was yours?"

"All right."

Ye Yaodong told him his plan to use fresh harvest boats to collect jellyfish from the entire village.

Aguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this. His ideas were always one step ahead of others, getting better and better every year.

He already foresees that most of the people who learn from him to build boats this year will eat dirt.

Ye Yaodong smiled and slapped his thumb off, "There are too many fishing boats now, and there is too much food for the monks. We can only earn a little depending on the situation."

"It's okay for you to do this. At least our local boat can stay there and keep salvaging, and the local boat has to go back and forth to sell goods depending on the situation. After all, over time, the jellyfish will turn into water and be pickled. It can be kept longer, but will it take more time at sea to buy salt and alum?”

"Look, it's hard to say now."

"Well, it seems that you are still the biggest winner."

"When Uncle Zheng calls back, ask more questions and learn more about the situation. There are so many boats here now, and they will definitely not last long before they have to disperse to salvage. If there is a lot of money to be made, we can also follow and take care of it. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Then you will go with me to answer the phone the day after tomorrow, and ask if there is anything you want to know."

"I will go out to sea to pick up fresh goods the day after tomorrow. I may not be free at that time. I guess I have to sell the goods?"

"Okay, then let's talk about it the day after tomorrow."

"Yeah."

Now they are the only idle people at home. Those who can make money quickly have gone out to sea to make money quickly. A Guang is bored alone, and he can only have a companion by staying here.

However, at night, he still has to go back to look after the house and the luggage.

Ye Yaodong only went out to sea in the morning to check the situation these two days. He saw the sparse jellyfish, which disappeared in an instant after they appeared for a while. There were several quarrels on the sea. If it weren't for the law enforcement ship nearby, everyone would be cautious and probably fight again.

He watched everything and came back around noon.

The boatmen were a little restless these two days. They couldn't rest at all. They felt more at ease with work.

When he counted the people and took them to the sea to collect the fresh food, the boatmen felt relieved. They felt that they could earn more money with work.

If they had been resting all the time, they might have to go home, and the expected high salary would be reduced immediately.

"Fortunately, we can still have some work by driving the fresh food boat..."

"Yes, I was so worried. I was worried that if I went back now, I wouldn't have earned a few days' salary..."

Ye Yaodong also knew that they were a little uneasy these two days, worried that he would lose money and their salary would be reduced, so he comforted them.

"Don't worry, the agreed salary will not change. You will be paid even if you don't work. I won't shirk my responsibility. Just stay here. I can at least last longer than others."

"Haha, right, right, right..."

"Yeah, haha, otherwise why do people want to follow you? Those who followed others last year came to you on their own initiative this year because they think it's safest to follow you."

"Thank you for your trust. Go to bed early tonight. We'll be out to sea in the early morning."

"Okay..."
