Chapter 332 Joint Fishing

(This chapter is not very well written, I will revise it later)

Late March.

Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory (Shangfeng Branch) is about to open for business, and recruitment flyers have also been distributed to the village.

People from the processing plant even come directly to the dock to recruit workers.

The village broadcaster also helped broadcast:

"Dear folks.

fellow villagers

I want to inform you that the processing plant at Qingkou Wharf will open soon. Today, recruiters are coming to our island.

If you want to work in a processing factory, please come to the dock to sign up. The processing factory works six days a week and the monthly salary is 30 yuan. "

When the villagers heard the news, they were immediately shocked, especially the people on the other side. Everyone rushed to the dock.

I'm afraid that if I arrive late, I won't be able to grab a spot.

A month and thirty words.

If the couple works together, it will be sixty yuan.

For those of them who don’t own a fishing boat, sixty yuan a month is already an astronomical sum.

They earn a small amount of money every month, plus they do odd jobs for others, so they can't make that much money in a month.

If you work in a factory, it will be much more stable. As long as you work for a few years, you might be able to afford a boat.

Less than half an hour after the announcement was made, there was already a sea of ​​people at the pier.

But besides wages, everyone is more worried about other issues.

"If I go to work in your factory, will there be a place to stay?"

"If you don't live in the factory, are you responsible for picking up and dropping off?"

"Is there a canteen in the factory, or do you want to cook by yourself?"

The recruiters also patiently answered questions raised by the villagers.

"There is a canteen in the factory, so eating is very cheap, so don't worry."

"There are currently no dormitories. If there are many people working in the village, the factory can also arrange a special passenger boat to take you to and from get off work."

"It's so good, then I want to sign up."

The recruiter smiled bitterly and said: "Not everyone who applies can be admitted, we have to take assessments.

Ladies are given priority here at the processing factory.

For ice plants and cold storage, priority will be given to men. "

Looking at the more than 100-meter-long applicant queue, Li Duoyu showed a knowing smile.

According to the original plan, the processing factory did not plan to recruit workers in their Xiasha Village.

Because it is really troublesome, we have to consider the issue of employee accommodation, and maybe we have to build a dormitory building.

But if dormitories are not built, it will take half an hour from Dandan Island to Qingkou Pier, and it will also cost a lot of money to pick up and drop off every day.

In the end, under Secretary Chen's strong suggestion, the processing plant finally gave 50 places to Xiasha Village.

After all, this project was won by him during the aquatic products work conference last year. He couldn't do it without giving him any face.

After learning that Xiasha Village was recruiting, everyone in Chenjia Village was extremely envious.

"I really want to move to your village."

"Damn it, you guys are taking one step ahead of the other."

For fishermen, having a processing plant and an ice making plant means that they don’t have to go to Rongcheng to buy ice in the future.

After fishermen catch the fish, they can also sell it directly to aquatic product processing plants, and the price may be better than before.

The fishermen with boats are all holding back their energy and want to go out to sea to fish right now.

In the past, aquatic products were processed in Rongcheng, more than 30 kilometers away from Qingkou Wharf.

The fishmongers make a little profit, and after deducting the transportation costs, there is not much left in the hands of the fishermen.

But now fishermen can skip the second-tier dealers and sell directly to the seafood processing factory at Qingkou Wharf, and the profits will be much higher.

The freshness preservation problem that used to be the most troublesome for fishermen has also been solved.

Every summer when fishing, fishermen want to buy fresh crushed ice.

You have to sail to Rongcheng. The round trip takes five hours. It costs a lot of money for gas. Plus the money to buy ice, it's a huge discount.

It's fine when it's cold.

Fish doesn’t spoil so quickly, so you don’t need to use ice.

But if there is no ice in summer, the fish may have started to taste bad before it even lands.

Every summer, city dwellers often joke that what they eat is toilet fish, because in addition to the fishy smell, the stale seafood smells like ammonia.

Looking at the big ships at the pier, Shitou glanced at his small sampan and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's not a good time. If I had a big boat at this time, I would be really happy."

Old man Mi on the side sighed: "It seems that the eldest and third sons of the Li family are selling fishing boats. Do you want me to help you find out the price?"

Shitou was surprised: "Isn't their fishing boat still in good condition? Why do they suddenly want to sell it?"

"I also heard from people that their family members united and bought a large tugboat. It is said to be more than thirty meters long and has two engines. By then, it will be possible to carry several thousand kilograms in one net."

Shitou smiled bitterly and said: "I really want a trawler. I really don't want to play with sticky nets anymore. I am almost bored to death by solving fish every day."

Old Man Mi smiled and said: "If you buy a tugboat and catch fish, remember to come back and sell me some."

Shitou frowned and looked at Old Mi, and said seriously: "Old Mi, I think this processing plant has opened. Can you change your career?"

Old Man Mi hummed:

"How can it get better? With my body, I can't catch fish at all. Remember, if you catch any good fish, sell it to me."

In fact, many fishmongers at Qingkou Wharf have changed their careers and become salesmen of the aquatic product processing factory.

If you can't beat them, just choose to join.

——

On the third day after the opening of the aquatic product processing factory, three fishing boats were ready to go at the wharf of Dandan Island.

Li Duoyu boarded his fishing boat with a lot of bags on his back.

This time they planned to fish together.

And the eldest uncle and the third uncle also cooperated for the first time, planning to use the double tugboat method to fish.

After seeing Li Duoyu, the second uncle who was smoking on the trawler smiled happily.

"Duoyu, you are finally willing to fish with us. If you go out to sea with us, this trip will definitely be a blowout."

The uncle next to him glared at him: "What blowout? It's so unlucky. If you can't talk, just say less."

The second uncle slapped his mouth and quickly confessed in the direction of Tianhou Temple: "I spoke too quickly, too quickly, bless us with safety."

Seeing that Li Duoyu also went out to sea, the uncle couldn't help asking:

"Duoyu, I heard that your eel factory is very busy, how come you have time to go out to sea with us?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "It's not that busy. Besides, my brother and Xiaochao are watching over there. I'm free anyway, so I might as well go out to sea to get some fresh air."

After a period of meticulous care, the water quality of the eel factory is now very stable, including the health of the eels.

As long as there is no typhoon, there is almost nothing to worry about.

There are three fishing boats in this joint fishing, one of which is Li Duoyu's fishing boat, which is mainly used to find fish.

The main ship was the trawler owned by Uncle Li Zhengfa, and the main crew members were also on Uncle Li Zhengfa's ship, while Uncle Li Zhengfa's small trawler was used as an auxiliary ship, and only two crew members were needed.

Before going out to sea, Uncle Li Zhengfa and Uncle Li Zhengfa each carried a basket of food on board, and worshipped Mazu on board as before. They placed the contents of the basket neatly on the bow, and then lit a handful of incense with a match, and gave three incense sticks to each fisherman on board.

After everyone finished worshipping.

With the sound of firecrackers.

The three fishing boats headed for Qingkou Wharf, filled with ice, and headed directly towards the Zhoushan Islands.

It took nearly ten hours to reach the fishing grounds on the Zhoushan side.

When they arrived at the fishing grounds.

It was already dark.

Generally, when arriving in an unfamiliar place, the most troublesome thing for the captain is that they don't know the situation under the sea.

If you cast the net casually.

It will be very uncomfortable if it gets caught on the reef, and it may take half a day to mend the net.

Even old fishermen like Dabo and Sanshu only dare to cast nets in the sea areas they are familiar with every time they go trawl.

However, this time with Duoyu, the situation is completely different. The fish finder on his boat can not only find fish, but also judge the situation on the seabed.

And since entering the fishing ground.

Li Duoyu's fish finder has been beeping non-stop, and the screen is densely packed with dots.

He has never seen such an exaggerated signal on the fish finder, as if the fish finder was placed in the breeding pond.

He looked at the sea area in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, it is worthy of being a fishing ground.

The number of marine fish is really not comparable to the sea area near Dandan Island.

Li Shuguang, who was learning from the boat, looked at the dense dots and asked:

"Duoyu, do these flashing dots on TV mean there are fish?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes."

"Then these dots are in the middle and above, do they mean that these fish are also in the middle and above?"

"That's right."

"According to the fishing season in Zhoushan, the upper and middle layer fish in this season, that is, these small dots are likely to be mackerel, and the larger ones may be mackerel."

"Then how to see the grouper."

Li Duoyu replied: "This is more difficult. Groupers are generally solitary and do not move under normal circumstances."

"It depends on whether there are many reefs. If there are many, there is a high probability that there are groupers."

"So that's the case, then how to see the terrain."

Li Duoyu directly looked at the bottom of the screen to see if this place was flat. If it was up and down, there was a high probability that there was a coral reef below.

"Wow, this is too advanced. Do we have such equipment in our country now?"

Li Duoyu scratched his head.

"I don't know the details, but there should be some, but the price should not be cheap."

A simple maritime radio station is sold for two or three thousand at Changwei Shipyard, and a fish finder like this one is just made, and it costs at least five or six thousand, and it is estimated to be more than that.

Li Duoyu drove the fishing boat around the nearby sea area and analyzed the data sent back by the fish finder.

This sea area is not very flat, and there are many reefs under it. If you put a bottom trawl net, the probability of getting stuck on the reef is very high.

Li Duoyu took out the microphone.

"Minrong 031, Minrong 031, this is Minrong 107, can you hear me?"

Not long after.

Li Duoyu's wireless device transmitted the intermittent voice of his uncle.

"Minrong 107, this is Minrong 031, I can hear you."

Seeing that the other party could hear him, Li Duoyu continued: "Minrong 031, there are many reefs on the seabed of this sea area, and bottom trawl is not recommended. There are many fish in the middle and upper layers. After putting the net, just follow my fishing boat."

"Minrong 031 received."

After receiving the news, Third Uncle Li Zhengfa immediately ran to the deck and said to everyone: "Duoyu said that there is a reef area ahead and we can't bottom drag. Let's unload the weight of the trawl net and switch to fishing in the middle and upper layers."

Second Uncle couldn't help but say: "Duoyu's boat is amazing. He knows this. If he leads the way, then we can go anywhere."

"You wish. Duoyu just came out to get some fresh air. He has an eel factory. The kelp may be harvested next month."

After everyone removed the weight.

A main rope was thrown onto Li Niantian's fishing boat. The two boats were about 100 meters apart and pulled the trawl net forward together.

The double trawl net is much larger than the single trawl net. The fishing boat pulled the net and moved forward for less than an hour before it could clearly feel the resistance.

Li Zhengtian thought it should be a net explosion. There have been cases of net explosions not long after the net was cast before, but they are relatively rare.

At this time, the old fisherman Li Niantian didn't even need to say hello and directly brought the fishing boat over.

As soon as the double tugboats approached.

That meant they were going to pull up the net.

Unlike the operation of a single tugboat, when Li Niantian's fishing boat approached, the second uncle threw an auxiliary rope to the fishing boat on the opposite side.

Uncle Li Niantian tied the auxiliary rope to the stem rope of the trawling net, and after tying it, he shouted directly: "It's OK, let's collect the net."

At this point, it was no different from a single tugboat, with the clang of the diesel engine emitting black smoke.

The winch on the fishing boat began to turn.

The net bag appeared.

It was a very big bag!

Everyone looked at it carefully and was very excited: "We made a lot of money this time, all mackerel, how many kilograms of fish are in this net."

The second uncle sighed: "Sure enough, when you go out to sea, you should bring more fish. With him, there are more fish."

The eldest uncle looked at him with disdain: "That's the power of technology, okay? I heard from Shuguang that the TV on his boat can show how many fish there are on the seabed."

Li Duoyu also saw a whole net of sea fish from the fishing boat. This net is at least 5,000 kilograms of fish.

As the net bag was caught, Li Duoyu looked at the mast of the third uncle's fishing boat. Because the net bag was too heavy.

When it was hoisted, it actually made a creaking sound, and the winch was also very strenuous.

An embarrassing thing happened.

The third uncle's boat is a bit old, and it caught too many fish, so the net couldn't be lifted.

At this time, Li Duoyu found that there was a "thief" stealing fish under the net.

Under the net bag, there was a giant fish more than ten meters long with many spots on its body, opening its big mouth and secretly sucking the fish in the net.

After seeing this big fish, a young crew member on the fishing boat was very excited and picked up a long stick to hit the big fish.

As a result, the second uncle scolded:

"Don't mess around, this kind of fish is very friendly to us fishermen, it's okay to let it eat, but it can suck away those small fish, so we can just pull up the net."
