Chapter 585 Maritime Radio Station

In order to celebrate Ye Yaodong's upcoming purchase of a big boat, the brothers had a great time drinking. The alcohol content of the rice wine was not low, more than ten degrees, and everyone drank it in big gulps.

Lin Xiuqing wanted to remind Ye Yaodong several times to finish early and go to bed early because he had to make deliveries at night.

Seeing that they were in particularly high spirits, when it was almost nine o'clock later, their faces were all red and they were talking loudly, so she had no choice but to remind them.

"It's very late. It's almost over. I might have to work tomorrow, so go back to bed early. A Dong will deliver the goods to the city at six or seven tomorrow, and he has to leave at two or three. That's it for today. Bar?"

"Ah! Yes, Dongzi, we have to deliver the goods tomorrow, so that's it, that's it, that's it for today."

"Okay, okay, it's over, it's over, let's go back to our homes."

"Then let's go home. That's it for today..."

Lin Xiuqing saw them staggering and about to fall, so she simply went next door to call Brother Ye and Brother Ye, and asked them to send the three of them off to save them from falling on the road. In this cold weather, if It's hard to lie down on the roadside and freeze all night.

Ye Yaodong also went back to the room by himself, and the sound of snoring could be heard from inside the room.

She shook her head, cleaned up the mess on the table, and then picked up the child standing in the cage and returned to the house.

But when she was taking off her clothes, she saw Ye Xiaoxi climb on Ye Yaodong, and kept going up until she sat on his face and twisted.

She couldn't help but smile knowingly, and wanted to take the child down, but she saw that Ye Yaodong seemed to have stopped snoring because of difficulty in breathing. He woke up, took the child down again, held him in his arms, and then fell asleep again. .

The child was pressed by his arms and kept kicking his legs there. His eyes widened and he screamed, but he couldn't break free.

Lin Xiuqing smiled softly, and covered them with quilts first, then folded the clothes and pants for him to wear tomorrow, put the hat and scarf away, and then turned off the light and went to bed.

At night, Ye Yaodong couldn't get up as expected. Lin Xiuqing pushed him several times before he woke up in confusion.

"I told you not to drink so much, but you didn't listen. Look, you can't even get up now. You have to deliver goods today, remember?"

"Huh? Oh!"

Ye Yaodong sat up and rubbed his aching head, "What time is it?"

"It's 2:10, Uncle Zhou should be here soon."

Lin Xiuqing saw that he was really uncomfortable, so she reached out and rubbed him a few times.

"Well, it's better to be my wife!"

"if not?"

"Love you!"

"You're so talkative, you're so drunk."

In the darkness, unable to see her fingers, the corners of Lin Xiuqing's mouth raised slightly.

"It's true when you're sober!"

“Don’t they say that when you are drunk, you tell the truth?”

"Not necessarily. They usually pretend to be crazy under the pretense of drinking! Because drinking can make people bold. People who have courage and confidence don't need to tell the truth when they are drunk."

"Are you praising yourself in disguise?"

Ye Yaodong smiled, reached out and grabbed her cold little hand, "Okay, you can continue to sleep, I'm leaving."

"I've put your clothes aside for you. The old lady seems to have gotten up early, and I heard some noise. Look, if the porridge is cooked, you can eat some porridge before leaving."

"knew."

He got up slowly, put on his clothes and trousers, took his hat and scarf and went out. Sure enough, the old lady got up so early again.

"The porridge has been left there to cool down. You can eat some before you leave. I drank so much wine last night. Eat some porridge in the morning. It will be more comfortable for your mouth and better for your stomach. Don't think that you don't take it seriously when you are young. You need to take good care of your stomach. a little."

The old lady stood in front of the stove chattering, taking out the warm mustard and scrambled eggs from the pot. She didn't even need a rag to cover her hands, and just reached out to pick them up.

"Let me do it!"

"No, no, you go brush your teeth and wash your face. This is very hot from being left in the pot. Your hands are tender."

Her hands were covered with calluses, wrinkles, and the skin was loose and peeling, full of traces of time.

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Okay then."

I have traded dried fish twice, and this is the third time. It is still very smooth, with one hand delivering the goods and the other hand getting the money.

However, this time he also gave an extra one or two half bags of oranges and two half bags of grapefruits, which he specially divided out.

"Team Leader Zhao, these 4 bags are for you, Captain Chen. You two can share half of them. Please help me pass them on to him."

"Why are you being so polite? Where's the dried fish? Didn't you just give me 20 kilograms more? We eat in the cafeteria every day, so we don't need to give it to you. We live alone in the dormitory, and we don't have any fire and no family members. You can take it back or sell it. You don't have to give it to me. .”

Team leader Zhao rejected it without saying a word. If it was for the army, he would have accepted it directly. Now that it was given to him personally, he might as well forget it.

"No, Team Leader Zhao, what's in this bag is oranges, what's in this bag is grapefruits, they're not dried fish, they're for you to try. They're all grown at home, not for sale." Ye Yaodong hurriedly said I opened the bag and showed it to him.

Team Leader Zhao stretched his head, "Huh? You are really so polite! Do you have any other fruit?"

"My father-in-law grew it and sent two bags here, just in time for you to try. They are all grown at home and are not worth much. You can take them back to try them or give them to the soldiers to try."

"Okay, since it was grown at home, I won't be polite to you."

"There is another copy that belongs to Captain Chen. I need you to hand it over to me."

"Easy to say."

When Ye Yaodong saw Team Leader Zhao ordering the little soldiers to carry it, he smiled and asked Team Leader Zhao where the shipyard in the city was?

"What's wrong? Are you going to the shipyard to see the ship? You've asked the right person."

"Just take a look, they're all in the city anyway."

"I'll write you an address, and you can just ask along the way."

Although their station is on the edge of a remote village, it is not far from the sea. They also need to conduct water training. Of course they know where the shipyard in the city is.

It's just a little far away, not in the same area.

Team Leader Zhao directly wrote him an address and asked him to drive into the city and just ask for directions as he walked.

After Ye Yaodong thanked him, he got in the car and asked Uncle Zhou to help him take him there.

Fortunately, he has no task of transporting sand today, so he can run around as he pleases.

The two of them asked all the way, and it took them more than two hours to find the place.

But after he finished shopping, it was contrary to the expectation and curiosity he had originally had, and his heart felt cold.

For the same configuration, the price quoted by a shipyard in the city is actually 1,500 yuan more expensive!

1500 yuan!

He could add a little more and buy a boat like his family's.

However, the boats being built in the city looked more beautiful and high-end, and he didn’t know if they had been painted when he saw them.

Moreover, the city's shipyard can also be equipped with a maritime radio station, but this will cost an additional 2,000 yuan! It depends on personal choice.

He originally thought that he would have to buy another maritime intercom by then. After all, to do anything about receiving goods at sea, you have to contact the receiving ship and the supply ship.

Occasionally, I have to communicate with colleagues about which dock and which market have higher fish prices. For those who catch fish at sea, they always go to the city to dock.

In many cases, the goods are usually sold at the nearest shore. After all, the price after landing is definitely more expensive than the fresh food collection ship at sea.

Compared with the purchase price at the dock, the price of the fresh-picking ship will be discounted by one-third to half. Unless it is far from the shore, it is when there is a lot of goods, or it has been stored for a long time, and it must be shipped when it is fresh. Otherwise, it is generally more cost-effective to sell them onshore.

After getting a detailed understanding, he turned around and left. However, this trip was not fruitless. When he passed through the county town on his way back, he asked Uncle Zhou to go to the shipyard directly.

Anyway, it's on the way, otherwise, I would have to ride a bicycle over the next day, which would be even more strenuous.

If it can be solved in one trip, it is better not to make a second trip. Who knows if there will be time tomorrow or if we will go to sea again.

Once at the shipyard, ask directly about the maritime radio station.

Director Wu nodded and said with a smile: "It can be matched, but it will cost an additional 2,000 yuan. Many people think it is too expensive. They think that they only need to increase the fresh water warehouse and cold storage room, store more fresh water and supplies, and dock in three or four days." Just sell the goods at once and replenish them, there is no need to spend this money. After all, the fresh goods ship is cheap, but the supply ship supplies and oil is expensive."

"It makes sense, but if you don't have it equipped, it's easy to lose contact, unless you don't go very far."

Equipped with a radio station, it can not only contact the fresh harvest ship and supply ship, but most importantly, if anything happens and requires rescue help, you can still contact them.

"How far can the current boats go? They don't go very far. They all fish in the offshore area. I heard that sometimes you can see more than a dozen boats operating in the same sea area."

"We are really equipped with very few trawlers here. We mainly build trawlers of more than ten meters. There are very few trawlers of more than 20 meters. The factory has only received one order in total in the past two years, which is the boat I introduced to you before."

"Which ship is still hesitating whether to add a radio station? I have suggested that they add a radio station, but they are still hesitant and said that they will not reply until the delivery date is coming next year."

"Then I also need to be equipped, just in case!"

Of course money is not as important as life!

"Okay, add 2,000 yuan!"

Ye Yaodong felt a little sad when he heard the price. It was too expensive!

The boat was already priced at 11,000, and it cost 13,000 after adding this. No wonder there are many people in one big boat. It is really too much for him to bear alone!

It hurts so much!

Assets have shrunk severely!

He is now eager to make money. If he just builds this boat, he will directly be in debt.

Originally, the total cash at home was just over 15,000 yuan. After excluding the 5,000 yuan that had to be paid to the shop, only 10,000 yuan was left. In addition, I could earn about 2,000 yuan from selling dried fish, and the total wealth was only over 12,000 yuan, and this boat cost 13,000 yuan!

ah! Just thinking about it makes me heartbroken. I have to go back to before liberation.
