Chapter 989 Going ashore to sell goods (7000 words)(2/3)
The old guy also wanted to see the world of flowers, but it must have been night after the goods were sold at the shore. The tens of thousands of kilograms of goods from the two ships were not being weighed so quickly, and there was nothing to see. I could give him some time during the day.
Let them walk around.
Forget it now, hurry up and drive out at night, and you can still haul a net before dawn.
After Ye Yaodong waited for his father to go out, he contacted Uncle Pei. His net had not been collected yet and was almost ready, so he simply collected it in advance and accelerated forward.
He also followed behind in the Dongsheng, and the two ships drove forward with full power.
The boatmen on the deck were still sorting fish goods there as usual. After sorting the goods, they could go back to the cabin to rest. There was no catching a net, and everyone was looking forward to having a rest.
The remaining unfinished goods in the morning, plus the goods hauled up by a net, were sorted until past twelve o'clock, and it was almost finished after lunch.
Father Ye ordered everyone to eat first and then clean up after eating.
Ye Yaodong also looked at the deck, which looked like it had been scratched by chicken claws. There were fish everywhere on the deck, evenly distributed in every corner of the deck.
Everyone sorted them very cleanly and carefully, leaving almost no items that could be sold for money. All the seafood was carefully looked through.
He estimated that the remaining cargo piled on the deck was about three thousand kilograms, including fish, shrimps, crabs, and shells.
"Grass! What a waste of natural resources!"
From now on, nothing produced in the sea will be worthless. Except for a few large jellyfish and aquatic plants and garbage, the ones on the deck will be sold for a lot of money.
Even the anchovies, which are half as long as a finger and can’t be any smaller, are purchased by factories to produce the raw materials of Jinzai Xiaoyu!
After the boatmen finished eating, they took brooms and buckets, loaded baskets of goods into baskets, and dumped them into the sea.
Ye Yaodong is extremely regretful. It would be great if he could have a mobile phone to record a video at this time?
Record a video in 1985 and send it to 2024.
In the future, I don’t think there will be many scenes of people carrying thousands of kilograms of seafood into the sea. If there are, it is because the fishery administration catches fishing boats that secretly go out to catch fish during the fishing ban period, so they take the goods on board like this.
Thousands of kilograms were thrown back into the sea.
"Dongzi, you go to eat and watch from here."
"Dad, have you heard of a fish canning factory near our county?"
"Nonsense, where is the fish cannery? Can there be fish in it? How to eat it? Aren't the cans full of oranges and other fruits? How can you eat fish in it?"
"oh."
That is, these days, the canned fish in their rural areas are not yet famous. It seems that the generation in Guangdong Province has production, but they are all sold overseas.
After all, in the past, when productivity was low, people's purchases were very limited, and people had little to eat or wear, canned food was a high-end food that only the rich could afford.
Not to mention before the reform, now after the reform, only the rich can afford canned food. Who is willing to spend several dollars and a few days' salary to buy a canned food that only tastes sweet?
Only by giving gifts can I be willing to spend money.
But overseas, only the poor will eat canned food, and the rich will of course prefer to eat fresh food.
Haha, it’s upside down.
Ye Yaodong also had a random thought, thinking that it would be a pity that so much of the goods ended up in the sea. It would be great if they could be made into various cans.
It is also difficult to store seafood and transport it in order to extend the period of food spoilage.
Unfortunately, the industry is still developing. All machinery and equipment are imported, and the production technology is imported. Probably only the formula is our own.
Ye Yaodong shook his head. He didn't have that much energy, and he didn't understand the twists and turns. He should just be an honest fisherman and catch fish.
Leave the cockpit to his father's attention while he goes to eat.
The rice and soup were still hot, but the dishes were a bit cold, but it was good to have a hot meal at sea.
He carried a large bowl of rice and vegetables and went to the deck. While eating, he watched them pour the goods into the water one by one.
Although I had already seen it yesterday, there was more stuff being dumped into the sea today, and I never get tired of it.
Of course my heart aches, but looking at this scene I feel quite satisfied.
"Now we are pouring baskets into the sea one by one. In the future, people will only catch these goods that have been dumped into the sea."
"How is that possible? It takes up a lot of space to bring these goods back. If you give them away, you can only use them to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs and dogs. No one wants them now. Who would be so stupid as to catch these goods in the future?"
It hurts my heart.
"That's what I'm saying. Maybe in the future there will be more and more ships, and more and more goods will be caught, and these will also be valuable."
"More and more are being caught, and everyone's food is getting better and better, so no one wants these anymore, and the pigs can't even eat them..."
If he hadn't lived until 2023, he would have almost believed it.
Now pigs eat sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines. In the future, people will spend money to buy sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines to eat.
"It makes sense, uncle is right."
"A day or two before I go back, I can pick up these goods and take them back to make fish sauce for you. The scale of your fish sauce workshop is quite large. It costs thousands of dollars and will take several years to build.
Get your money back?"
"I don't know, it's only been sold for a month."
"It would be great if pigs could be raised on the ship, so they wouldn't have to fall into the sea..."
"It's impossible to raise pigs. It's possible to use these goods directly for production at sea. However, it would take a large ship of hundreds of thousands of tons to make it possible to produce while fishing."
"Really? You know a lot..."
…
Ye Yaodong cooked a whole bowl of rice. The workers hadn't finished cleaning up the deck yet and were still dumping goods there. He seemed to have nothing to do with him. The fishing boat was following closely behind the Harvest. With his father at the helm, he simply lay back.
Catch up on some sleep in the cabin.
Take a nap at noon and catch up on your sleep so that you can be energetic at night.
I just brought the new quilt on board yesterday, and now I can smell the strong smell of seafood when I lie in it. Fortunately, it has been sunny these two days, so the quilt does not feel damp.
Having eaten so much, he would have been easily sleepy. He had just laid down on the bed, thinking about the roar of the machine in his ears, but he fell asleep not long after.
When he woke up again, the bed next to him was still empty, and he didn't know whether those people were still awake or had woken up and went out.
He looked at the time and saw that it was already three o'clock. He stretched out a lot and felt very comfortable after a good sleep. Especially in the winter, there is nothing more comfortable than sleeping under the quilt.
.
Although the fishing boat was swaying and the roaring in my ears was constant, it was a luxury to have a place to lie down.
There was no sunshine outside, only thick clouds and biting cold wind remained.
He walked to the back deck, carefully held the edge of the boat, peed, then quickly shook it a few times, put it in, and returned to the deck.
"Are we almost docking? You woke up just in time. Did you guys take a nap?"
"Yes, I just went to take a nap when I had nothing to do. I just woke up not long ago."
"We are almost docking. We just saw a lot of trawling boats along the way. We are also followed by several trawling boats. They should also be docking."
Ye Yaodong nodded and went up to the helm. His father would not be cold sitting in the cockpit.
"Is it almost there?"
"It's almost there, there should be about twenty minutes left."
"That took almost six hours."
"At sea, it's no better than on the shore. Waterways are inherently slower."
He stayed and chatted with his father for a while, then went to the deck to blow in the cold air. The cockpit was too crowded.
Half an hour later, the bustling port was visible in the distance, and everyone stretched their necks and said that they were finally here.
There were a lot of ships coming and going at the wharf in the provincial capital. For ships as big as theirs, they saw more than a dozen from a distance. They could even see a few ships more than thirty meters long, which were not comparable to those in the city.
, let alone the small wharf in their town.
As the sun sets, ships of all sizes are shuttled on the sea, docking at the dock ahead.
On the pier, fishermen were busy carrying baskets of fresh seafood, and laughter and conversations were heard one after another, full of the atmosphere of life.
The sea breeze carries the smell of salty sea water, blowing across everyone's face, which is black and red, with the joy of harvest on their faces.
“Is this pier specially designed for landing fish?”
"Definitely. In a big place like the provincial capital, the cargo terminal and the fishing boat terminal are separated. There are not many ships docking today. They are probably all at sea."
The two boatmen were there asking and answering questions.
"Stop talking, we're going to land soon. Let's move all the goods out of the fish warehouse first."
"Good, good, good work..."
Father Ye squeezed into the gap at the dock with the Harvest, and the two ships docked side by side.
The two of them did not immediately let the goods be moved off the ship. Instead, they went ashore to find buyers first. They were from out of town, so they had to ask several buyers to avoid deliberately lowering the price. After asking about the price, they took someone on the ship to see the goods and then negotiated.
After gathering, ask people to move the goods ashore for weighing.
The pier was bustling with fishermen or intermediaries who received goods. There were baskets of seafood everywhere in the open space. The ground was wet and there was a fishy smell everywhere.
