Chapter 186
“Comrades, we must carry forward the hard-working and plain fighting style, think about the 25,000-mile Long March, think about the martyrs who climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands…”
“Get lost, just say you are stingy and don’t want to open a hotel for us.”
The three laughed and stripped themselves down to their underwear, then came to the water well and took a bath with buckets of water.
“It feels great.” Yu Fake was the first to shout when a bucket of water was poured down.
“Ake, your family conditions should be good. I’m really afraid that you will not be used to it here.”
“I’m also an animal, what’s there to be used to… Oh, shit.”
Liu Zhongyu was halfway through his words when Yu Fake carried a bucket of water and poured it from head to toe.
After the three took a bath and returned to the room, Zhao Qin set up a bamboo bed, a bed board made of bamboo, without legs, and needed to be propped up with a stool when in use.
“Choose one of the two. Who wants to sleep alone?”
I thought the two would fight for it, but unexpectedly, they both shook their heads, thinking that the thing was unstable and might collapse in the middle of the night.
It just so happened that Zhao Qin was not used to sharing a bed with others, so he turned on the TV and computer and let them do whatever they wanted.
“Don’t be busy, let’s chat.” Liu Zhongyu leaned on the bed and said.
Neither of them smoked, so Zhao Qin took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, “What to chat about?”
“Aqin, what are your plans for the future? Just go out to sea to fish every day?”
Zhao Qin was silent for a moment, thinking about whether to say some of his thoughts, but he heard someone outside calling his name. He got up and opened the door and found that it was Lao Zhang.
“Lao Zhang, why don’t you sleep so late?”
“I’ll give you two packs of cigarettes. Lao Xing told me everything.”
“No need. You’re a good person, otherwise no one would choose you.”
“I heard that there were guests at your house. I won’t delay you.” Lao Zhang put down the cigarette, turned around and left.
Zhao Qin was reluctant to accept it, but Lao Zhang ran away too fast.
“What’s going on? You, a fisherman, have become corrupt?” Liu Zhongyu was curious.
Zhao Qin then told him some things in the village, “You two are second only to me in wisdom. There is something I have been unable to figure out. Can you two help me analyze it? Why do you think Lin Yang suddenly stood on my side?”
“If it is true as you said, this Lin Yang is thinking of playing both sides, selling it to you first, so that you owe him a sum of money,
Using this, he will definitely let you let the Gu family go, or ask for less compensation, so that he can have an explanation from the Gu family, it is nothing more than a trick of playing both sides.” Yu Fa Ke said lightly.
“Fuck, A Ke, when did you secretly grow up?” Liu Zhongyu was about to touch his head, but he opened it unhappily.
“Well, what A Ke said makes sense. Lin Yang should have the same idea.”
“A Qin, what do you think?”
“Give Lin Yang this face and let him have the best of both worlds. After all, it won’t do me any harm. Of course, we have to point it out so that he won’t play tricks on me in the future.”
“I think your little village is quite interesting. You have used all your 36 strategies.”
The three chatted until nearly eleven o’clock, and then fell asleep in a daze.
In the morning, when Zhao Qin got up, the two were still sleeping soundly. He first looked at the luck value of the system. It was 39 points today, which was pretty good. After getting up and washing up, he woke them up.
“Are you two seasick?”
“No.” The two said in unison.
“A Qin, why do you still need to bring longline fishing?” Zhao Ping saw him carrying the basket hook onto the tricycle and asked curiously.
“Mr. Ye and the others want to try it.”
Knowing that there are many people going out to sea today, Xia Rong prepared a lot of ingredients. Of course, they can’t be too complicated, otherwise they can’t be processed on the boat.
Because they were going to cast longline fishing, the two brothers decided to call Ah He on board, and the more people on the boat, the better.
Arriving in town, Zhao Qin’s phone rang just after buying the bait. Mr. Ye and his team had already arrived at the dock.
Arriving at the dock, they found that Mr. Ye and his team were three people. Zhao Qin said a little embarrassedly: “My boat is a net boat, which is not as good as Mr. Qian’s special fishing boat. The bosses should make do with it.”
“It’s pretty good. It’s bigger than Mr. Qian’s boat and has a sunshade.”
The boat left the dock. Although the wind was not strong today, the sea is like this. There are three feet of waves without wind. When it is really as smooth as a mirror, you should be careful. The sea is holding back.
Liu Zhongyu’s complexion gradually became worse.
“Relax, don’t be nervous, just lie down and close your eyes if you can’t do it.” Before Zhao Qin could persuade him, Yu Fa Ke began to comfort him like an old driver.
“Aqin, how do you set the longline fishing? How many baskets do you have?”
“Four baskets. Mr. Ye decides the price. I’m not sure about the fishing conditions, but the fishing has been pretty good these days.”
“Oh, that’s perfect. We can each take a basket and compare our catches. The worst one pays.” Mr. Liu said with a smile.
After this, Mr. Ye and another boss also became interested.
Zhao Qin doesn’t offer a price, and it’s hard for the three of them to do so. Let’s just wait and see what the harvest is. If it’s more, give more. If it’s less, Zhao Qin’s busy day shouldn’t be wasted.
“Brother, first go to the mangrove to collect a row of ground cages.”
“what?”
“Collect some crabs, shrimps, mushrooms and the like, and we’ll cook them on the boat for snacks at noon.”
Zhao Qin didn’t think about making money today. He took everyone out to play and wanted to make them all happy.
It was very fast to collect a row of floor cages. When the collection started, Mr. Ye and the others also participated in the process. Some of the people who distributed the goods came forward to try their luck and personally pulled up a cage.
Liu Zhongyu, who was a little tired at first, seemed to feel a sense of security again when he saw the woods all around him, and he was also excited to help sort at this moment.
From a row of cages, five or six kilograms of shrimps and mushrooms, some conches, and seven or eight blue crabs were harvested, enough for everyone to wait for the tooth ceremony.
Without Zhao Qin’s instructions, Zhao Ping placed the longline fishing site slightly farther away than before. On the back side of the cave, unexpectedly, everyone discovered the secret of the cave.
The three bosses each claimed a basket of hooks. In order to make the three of them happy, Zhao Qin deliberately picked all system hooks. The last basket he bought was kept for himself.
After setting the hook, the boat changed position and everyone started fishing.
Mr. Ye and the others had brought their own equipment, so Zhao Qin didn’t need to worry about it. He was busy tying hooks for Liu and Yu, and told them where the live shrimp should be hung, demonstrated it once, and then let the two of them play by themselves.
Zhao Qin and the other three were not idle either. Today, Mr. Ye and the others were wrapping basket hooks, which meant that the fish they caught still belonged to themselves, so the three of them started threading as usual.
There was no need to use a pole when meeting the three of them. It was not unusual for Mr. Ye and the others to see each other, but this was the first time for Yu and Liu to meet each other. “Aqin, is this okay?”
“My brother caught a 30-pound big red fish with his silk the day before yesterday.” Ah He was also familiar with them, so he took the lead in showing off.
With five poles and eight lines, the entire area around the boat was completely covered.
“Guys, among the blue crabs we just harvested, there is a very fat red female, but it’s just one. If you can’t separate it later, it’ll just depend on your ability. Let’s treat it like a game today. Whoever breaks the turtle first will get the red one. Who will be the mother later?” Zhao Qin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the three bosses all became interested and shouted that the crab must be theirs.
After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he thought about it and pulled up his line first, waiting for them to catch the fish before setting the hook. Otherwise, with his own luck, he would most likely hit the fish first.
