Chapter 529: Seasickness Talisman
"This...is this ours?"
"No, when did you buy this... No, when did it arrive?"
Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo were so amazed that they almost dropped the fishing nets on their shoulders.
Ye Jianguo was old after all, and even though he was very happy, he suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm as he walked towards the new ship.
Ye Lin is different. Although his son is already this old, he is only less than ten years older than Fu Wan and her siblings.
Seeing such a big boat, and it was his own, Ye Lin lost his usual composure and immediately ran towards the boat carrying the fishing net.
"Such a large cabin, such an awesome cockpit? Oh my god, why is this deck covered?!"
It is not an exaggeration to say that Ye Lin is like Granny Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden. Fu Ming was asked by Fu Lao Da to drive the old boat of his family, so at this moment Fu Wan took Ye Lin to visit the new boat.
"Brother A-Lin, this is the live water tank. If we catch any fish that are easy to keep alive, we can put them in there later."
"That's pretty much the same as the fish box we had before!"
Ye Lin understood as soon as he heard it. After looking around at the new boats, he even had the idea of buying one.
But now that his family had just built a new house, he had no money and could only think about it.
After everyone got to the dock, Boss Fu arranged the people on several boats.
Fu Liang and Jiang Chunlan naturally drove their own boat, while Fu Ming and Ye Jianguo were on the same boat. Since it was a new boat going out to sea, Boss Fu thought it would be better for him to drive the new boat and lead the way.
Fu Shi, Fang Min, Fu Wan, and Fu Lao Da and his wife were all on the new ship.
After all, the new ship is so big, so more people are needed when it is busy.
Fu Ming's boss also agreed with him that it was okay if he couldn't pick out all the fish. He could just pick as much as he could. If there were any leftovers, he could go back and ask someone else to pick them out.
Boss Fu didn't pay much attention to Fu Liang, but he was not stupid. He had considered the problem of fewer people on his boat before.
There were many people at the dock who were willing to go out to sea. Fu Liang hired Fu Dayong, a young man who had worked with Fu Shi at the dock to move goods, for three dollars a day to go out to sea with him.
You can earn three dollars a night, and many people are willing to do it.
The reason why Fu Liang chose Fu Dayong was that he was about the same age as him and could also take care of the trawl nets.
The second reason is that Fu Dayong is one of the few people who has never bullied him. Going out to sea tonight is also a test. If Fu Dayong can work hard, Fu Liang will also consider letting him go out to sea with him for a long time.
However, his wages are not as high as those on Fu Wan's ship. After all, he has to give out half of his income.
Seeing that everyone was there, Boss Fu shouted and went to the cockpit to start the boat.
The new ship did not need to crank the diesel engine. Fu Ming and Fu Liang watched the new ship move, and they hurriedly found the crank to start the boat.
As wisps of smoke rose, three ships left the dock one after another. Fu San stood on the dock, watching the ships depart with Old Li, the anticipation in his heart was indescribable.
I really want time to fast forward to the next morning to see what surprises Fu Wan's family can bring them.
Fu Wan on the boat naturally didn't know that Fu San had been thinking about her as soon as she went out to sea. She went to the cockpit and took a look around, confirmed with Boss Fu which sea area to go to, and then turned back to the cabin.
Ye Xiaocui had just caught Fu Ling who had run away outside when Fu Wan walked in.
"Awan, did your father tell us which sea area we should go to?"
"Oh, I discussed with my father about going to the deep sea area near Swallow's Nest Island."
I haven't been out to sea for a long time, so there must be a lot of seafood in the deep sea area.
It's said to be near Bird's Nest Island, but it's not really that close. Fu Wan and Boss Fu had agreed to a place about fifty nautical miles from Bird's Nest Island. It's better to be farther away from Bird's Nest Island. You can't just grab the same place every day.
"It's windy outside, let's take a break first and then go to the deck to work when we get near the sea."
Fu Wan instructed a few people that this was not the first time Fu Shi and Ye Lin met. They had dealt with each other several times before when they were transporting fish at the dock.
But neither of them wanted to go back to the cabin. One of them was excited because it was the first time he had been on a boat in such a long time, while the other was curious about how to steer the boat and was a little excited.
After a while, the two of them ran to the cockpit to ask for advice from Boss Fu. Fu Wan had no choice but to let Fang Min go with her to their private rest cabin.
"Comrade Fang, can you adapt to sailing on the sea?"
Fang Min nodded. "You should call me by my name. I used to be a soldier at sea."
Aren’t the soldiers on the sea the navy?
Fu Wan suddenly felt that she was a small fry. No wonder Fang Min looked so calm. She guessed that going out to sea by boat was a common occurrence for her.
Seeing that the ship would take more than half an hour to reach the target sea area, Fu Wan couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply got up and prepared to cook noodles for everyone to fill their stomachs.
Fang Min saw her movements and came over to help. She was very efficient and had the charcoal burning as soon as Fu Wan took out the noodles.
In order to prevent the sea wind from affecting cooking, Fu Wan specially left a sheltered area and made a simple kitchen.
Each time they go out to sea now, it's always one night, and she is also thinking about waiting for the weather to get better so they can consider going somewhere farther away.
At that time, we will eat and live on the boat, so the equipment on the boat must be complete.
The noodles were cooked quickly. Fu Wan served a bowl to each of the two children and told them to eat and go to bed.
Although Fu Ling wanted to take Qin Mingzhu to play on the deck, as soon as they stepped out, if Fu Wan hadn't grabbed the back collar of her clothes, the wind would have blown her away with her small body.
Even though the noodles on the boat were simple, they were still exceptionally delicious. Fang Min ate the noodles very quickly. Fu Wan had just taken a few bites when the girl's bowl was empty.
"Comrade Xiao Fang, would you like some more?"
Ye Xiaocui asked enthusiastically, and Fang Min shook her head, "I had dinner at Aqing's house, so this bowl of noodles is enough."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside. Fu Wan looked over and found that it was Fu Shi holding the railing of the boat and vomiting.
In fact, Boss Fu was not driving the boat very fast, but there was a slight breeze tonight and there were some waves, which caused the boat to be slightly bumpy.
For Fu Shi, who had just gone to sea, it was difficult for him to adapt all of a sudden.
The result is that all the noodles you just ate were fed to the fish in the sea.
"Awan, it's about time to throw down the crab cages and bamboo tubes!"
Boss Fu came over from the cockpit. He had already set the position and speed. Ye Lin was still not confident that the boat could move forward on its own, so he insisted on staying in the cockpit.
Boss Fu had no choice but to shout at them to put out the crab cages.
"Okay, let's go now!"
There were quite a few crab cages and bamboo tubes. Fu Wan was picking up two crab cages when she saw Fang Min carrying all the bamboo tubes by herself.
This... this weighs more than a hundred pounds!
This guy is actually a strong man!
Fang Min didn't think there was anything wrong, so she turned around and asked Fu Wan while carrying the bamboo tube.
"Comrade Fu, where should we put it down from?"
