Chapter 335 Shenjiamen Fishing Port
The large net of jellyfish they captured filled more than seventy baskets before they were completely filled with jellyfish.
The decks of the three ships were all piled full. Because the jellyfish were quite heavy before they were dehydrated, even the fishing boats took a lot of water.
After handling the jellyfish, the young crew member was so tired that he collapsed directly on the deck, his eyes completely losing their light.
"Fuck, my hands are almost numb."
"My waist hurts so much."
The second uncle sneered: "This is a shame. If we let you go to a foreign squid fishing boat, it would be a horror."
When Li Duoyu heard about the squid fishing boat, he couldn't help being startled. Although he had never been on that kind of boat, in later generations, there was a mentally disturbed lunatic in their village who seemed to have gone crazy on the squid fishing boat.
Fishermen out at sea.
On the one hand, whatever seafood you can get, you will eat whatever seafood you get that day.
There are quite a lot of jellyfish, but not every jellyfish will have a jellyfish brain.
After working for a long time, Uncle Zhuang finally got a wooden basin of jellyfish brains.
But after they were put in an iron pot and blanched in water, they all shrank immediately, and the jellyfish brains were only a quarter of their original size.
Lunch is a jellyfish feast.
Uncle Zhuang made a portion of jellyfish brain soup and stir-fried cabbage with jellyfish blood.
Maybe it was because everything tasted delicious when we were hungry, so during this meal, everyone finished several bowls of rice.
There wasn't even a drop of soup left in the soup pot.
After lunch.
The crew returned to the cabin to rest, while the ship's bosses drove the ship toward the nearest dock.
There is currently the largest fishing port in China in the Zhoushan Islands.
Shenjiamen Fishing Port.
This fishing port has a unique geographical advantage, with a natural shelter about ten miles long and half a mile wide.
It can accommodate a lot of fishing boats. Once there is a strong wind for fishing boats in Zhoushan, this fishing port will be full of fishing boats coming to take shelter from the wind.
The most exaggerated thing is that there is even a reception station for compatriots from overseas provinces here in this fishing port. If there are compatriots from overseas provinces fishing nearby, they can come directly to this fishing port in case of strong winds.
Fishing boats fishing in Zhoushan fisheries usually bring their caught seafood here to sell.
Li Duoyu and his fleet drove for three hours and finally arrived at Shenjiamen Fishing Port.
But just after entering the port.
Only then did I realize that there were a lot of fishing boats nearby. There were blue and white fishing boats everywhere, and many of them had red triangular dragon flags on them.
The young crew members who had just woken up from sleep couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the world of fishing boats in front of them: "They are all big boats."
The third uncle and the uncle were very envious when they looked at the big boats. Their boat was only over 20 meters long, but many fishing boats in the fishing port were over 30 meters long.
And at this time.
A large steel boat blew its whistle and rushed in. The small fishing boats on the side gave way.
Li Shuguang couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, the boat is so big."
Li Duoyu said seriously: "For us fishermen, the size of the boat is really amazing."
"There are so many fish. When will the steel fishing boat we ordered be delivered?"
"Almost, it will be like this for another half a year."
"It will take so long."
Li Duoyu smiled. This was because he had gone through the back door. The people at Changwei Shipyard knew that his fishing boat was expedited.
Otherwise, according to the current shipbuilding technology, it would take at least one or two years to get a large ship like this.
The front section of the fishing port is the most crowded, with fishing boats waiting to unload their cargo everywhere.
The pier is also filled with baskets of seafood, including all kinds of seafood.
Li Duoyu and the others even saw a fishing boat full of golden yellow croakers.
It's just too far away. I don't know if it's a large yellow croaker or a small yellow croaker. If it's a large yellow croaker, the boat owner will definitely get rich.
If you want to sell fish here, you must first find a space where fishing boats can dock.
Just when they were looking for an opening.
Immediately, several small sampans came to them and shouted to them:
"Do you want to sell jellyfish? The price is very good. If you sell it to me, you don't have to wait in line for a seat."
Li Duoyu and Sanshu ignored this group of fishmongers who were "attentive for nothing". After seeing fishing boats from other places, these people would often offer a better price.
After deceiving the fishing boat.
They began to find various reasons to lower prices, saying:
"Your seafood is not good."
"It's not new."
In short, selling fish here at the fishing port is just like the airport or train station in later generations. Those who come to you on their own initiative, absolutely ignore them.
It is best to sell it to a fishmonger on the dock or to a regular aquatic product company. Although the price is a little lower, there are rarely situations where the price is lowered or the scale is missing.
It's a pity that the formal side is full of fishing boats queuing up. If they queue up too, they probably won't be able to get their turn even after dark.
And except for the fishmonger.
There are also many fishing boats surrounding Li Duoyu's fishing boat.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Li Duoyu's fishing boat is definitely the most beautiful boat in this pier.
Many fishermen passing by shouted and asked: "Where did you get this fishing boat?"
"How much does it cost?"
Li Duoyu kept talking: "My boat is organized, and I don't know how much it costs."
"So that's it. I thought you bought it yourself. Comrade, which unit do you belong to?"
"I belong to the Fisheries Bureau."
"Hello, the leader of the Fisheries Bureau."
Li Shuguang on the side was grinning from ear to ear. He found that Li Duoyu was the kind of person who could lie without blushing or beating his heart.
However, for the fishing boat he drove, even if he was told that he was the leader of the Fisheries Bureau, many people would really believe it.
And at this moment, just as the fishing boat in front of him had just left after selling seafood, Uncle San's trawler just happened to get in.
After seeing the fishing boat approaching.
The fishmongers on the dock immediately moved the boarding ladder over.
And before the boarding ladder came over.
Li Duoyu directly asked in the local Zhoushan dialect: "Hello, what is the price of jellyfish today?"
Li Duoyu knew very well that these fishmongers moved the ladder over just to ask you to unload the goods, but before the price was negotiated, they moved the seafood to the dock.
That would be quite passive.
At that time, the fishmongers would 100% lower the price. If the negotiation failed, it would not be so easy to move the seafood back to the boat.
The fishmonger was stunned when he saw the young man speaking the local dialect, and then he looked at Li Duoyu further.
"You are very familiar with our local dialect."
Li Duoyu smiled:
"Not very familiar, but I lived on the island for a while before, and I often went to Putuo Mountain to worship."
"That counts, we are half locals, I am from our Bingang Road, where did you live before?"
Li Duoyu said casually:
"I am on the Baisha side."
The fishmonger was stunned, in fact Zhoushan is very big, he didn't know where Baisha was for a while.
Chen Liang on the fishing boat stared, does Li Duoyu lie without drafting?
Damn you, you bully us on Dandan Island most of the time, how could you come to Putuo Mountain to worship. "Since you are one of us, then I will follow our local price, 5 yuan per dan of jellyfish head, 3 yuan for jellyfish skin."
Hearing this price, the second uncle and the eldest uncle on the fishing boat smiled.
"Sure enough, Duoyu has to sell the fish. If we go up to sell, we will definitely not get this price."
Uncle Li Zhengfa also smiled. This guy is really good at talking.
They are already very satisfied with this price. After all, jellyfish is really worthless.
What they didn't expect was that Li Duoyu was not satisfied with this price.
"Brother, we are all from the same island. I have processed all the jellyfish on my boat. Besides, there are very few jellyfish in April. Can you give me a higher price?"
"Brother, I know there are very few jellyfish in April. I have already raised the price for you. If it is next month, I will only charge three yuan for a load of jellyfish heads at most."
"How about this, you can add one yuan per load."
The fishmonger frowned and thought for a while: "You can't do this. It's true that I have the highest purchase price nearby."
"Thank you first, brother."
Li Duoyu quickly handed over a cigarette, and then, before the fishmonger agreed, Li Duoyu had already helped to move the boarding ladder.
Seeing that Li Duoyu had put the boarding ladder in place, the fishmonger sighed helplessly.
After Li Duoyu sold all the jellyfish, he pointed to the fishing boat next to him and asked, "Brother, what is the price of blue-spotted mackerel now?"
"Three cents."
"What about those over five kilograms?"
"Four cents."
Li Duoyu thought the price was okay and said directly, "It just so happens that I have a lot of mackerels on my boat. Do you want some?"
The fishmonger's mouth twitched.
Damn, I met a smart guy today.
I thought they wanted to catch mackerels just now, so they asked a high price, but they had some on their boat.
"I told you, the price is different every day. Next time I come, I may not charge such a high price."
"I know, brother, our quality is guaranteed, and each load is full."
At the end of the sale, the jellyfish and mackerel together sold for a total of 62 big unity.
After seeing the stack of money.
The second uncle smiled happily: "I told you, as long as you bring more fish, good things will definitely happen."
"This will at least earn you ten more big unity."
After they sold the fish, many people selling water, vegetables, and daily necessities came to their boat and started selling.
There was even a human-powered cart pulling diesel and asked, "Captain, is there enough oil? Do you want some?"
Li Duoyu discussed with his third uncle and others, and purchased some cabbage and added some fresh water.
The young fishermen looked at the bustling pier in front of them and wanted to go down and take a look.
Especially at the pier, there were many young girls carrying baskets to buy seafood.
This place is not very far from Shanghai, and there are even ferries to go there. The girls are also dressed relatively fashionably, making them drool.
"Those legs are beautiful."
"So smooth, so beautiful."
Second uncle couldn't help but complain: "You can't even marry a woman from our island, and you want to marry one from here."
"Let me tell you the truth, you can't marry a woman here without a big ship."
Chen Liang couldn't help but say: "You can't afford it, but you can always dream about it."
"You are just that capable. If you want to marry a woman like that, I think if Duoyu wants to marry, he can get three or four of them home to play mahjong together."
Li Duoyu's forehead was full of black lines.
These days, Second Uncle really made him full of hatred, and now those young crew members are a little resentful when they see him.
However, they all seemed to be a little afraid of him. After all, he and Agui were not good people in the past.
After the fleet was replenished, they left Shenjiamen Fishing Port and continued to catch the next net.
If the efficiency is high.
The fleet can catch another net in the afternoon.
Uncle Li Niantian took out some hand-drawn sea charts and marked the reef areas of the sea area they passed in the past two days.
For these ship captains, using sextants and knowing how to draw sea charts.
These two things are the confidence of the ship captain. Not all ship captains can do it, but the ship captains who can do this can go further.
Sometimes, if you arrive at a new place, you can also use the sea chart in your hand to exchange some basic information about the sea area with local fishermen.
After Li Duoyu learned from the last experience, Li Duoyu can roughly distinguish jellyfish on the fish finder.
Next, most of the fish caught were mackerel, with an average of about two nets a day, and a stable daily income of about 700 yuan.
After seven or eight days in a row.
The young crew members finally experienced the life of seafarers. It was really like working every day when they opened their eyes.
They kept picking fish, mending fishing nets, and cleaning decks. It was okay if they caught mackerel, but if they caught bottom fish, it was a breakdown.
There were dozens of seafood on the net, including sea fish, crabs, snails, and everything else. They all had to be packed separately, and there were also many slippery eels and conger eels.
What made them most frustrated was washing the fish. They had to constantly fetch water from the sea to rinse the fish.
At first, they felt bored on the boat, but now they just wanted to sleep after finishing their work every day.
And this intensity has long been accustomed to these old fishermen on the boat.
Although they are paid.
The fixed salary is five yuan a day, but if the boat bosses have a good harvest and are in a good mood, they may also share it.
What Li Duoyu regretted most was that it was the season for yellow croaker, but they fished for seven or eight days in a row and didn't catch a single yellow croaker.
At Shenjiamen Fishing Port, one or two boats catch yellow croakers every day.
And because the catch of yellow croakers is too small recently, it is said that the price will continue to rise this year. Yesterday, the market price has risen to 1.8 yuan per catty.
I heard that the fishing boat made nearly 4,000 yuan that day.
Everyone is envious.
But Li Duoyu and his team are not bad, and the fishmonger who bought his mackerel before is also very happy.
For him, a stable supply of goods means a steady income.
But these days, Li Duoyu felt something was wrong, and asked Li Shuguang: "Shuguang, have we encountered that boat on the sea?"
Li Shuguang looked at the boat that Li Duoyu pointed to, and thought: "I seem to have some impression. We met them once on the sea not long ago."
Li Shuguang asked: "Is there a problem?"
Li Duoyu shook his head: "No, I just feel a little strange. They seem to have been staring at us recently."
Li Shuguang smiled and said: "They are staring at your boat. It seems that there are young people on that boat. They must like your boat."
After Li Shuguang said this, Li Duoyu also felt that it made sense.
The reason why the fishing boat attracted his attention was that it had no number.
And most of the people on the boat were young people.
Although there was fishing, the number was really not large. What made Li Duoyu most curious was that as soon as the fishing boat docked, those young people all ran to the dock to play. It didn't look like they were fishing.
I don't know if he was too suspicious. I always felt that there was something wrong with this fishing boat, and the people on the boat were looking at them from time to time.
