Chapter 298 Watching the Boat
Chapter 298 Watching the Boat
Li Changle and three other people went out on tricycles and bicycles respectively. After withdrawing money from the credit union, they went to Zhang's house, the scrap dealer.
"Boss Zhang, business is coming to you!"
"It's you, come in and sit down!" Boss Zhang saw Li Changle and his brothers coming and handed them cigarettes with a smile on his face, "Ah Le, thank you for your help in promotion."
Ever since Li Changle rode the tricycle back home, almost all the people who collect seafood from the nearby villages come to him to order tricycles, and he is so busy every day that he can’t handle it.
Li Changle took the cigarette with a smile, "From your looks, your business is booming!"
"Yeah!" Boss Zhang said happily but worriedly, "We've ordered seven or eight tricycles, and there are still more orders coming in, but we just don't have the materials to make them."
Li Changle felt that people these days were still honest. "Is that so? I came here today to order another tricycle and two bicycles. When can I get the goods?"
"I have material for a car hidden at home. If you want it, I'll make it for you first."
"I won't tell you the price of the car, as long as you give me good materials."
"Don't worry about this, the hidden materials are all good ones."
Li Changle ordered a tricycle and two second-hand bicycles, and they rode to Tuxia Bridge.
Thinking that controls would become increasingly strict in the future, I bought more bullets when I bought a gun. I planned to go to Liyu Mountain to find Qian Acong to go hunting in the mountains when I had time.
Brother Li also bought a satin five-star red flag. A flagpole was installed on the top of the new ship's bridge to hang the national flag.
The group came out and first bought charcoal, then went to a fishing tackle store to buy fish hooks and fishing lines. They also bought dozens of three-layer bottom-sinking sticky nets that were seventy to eighty meters long and three to four and a half fingers in length for use.
When the weather gets colder, there will be fewer and fewer mid-layer fish, and they will either migrate or sink to the warmer seabed. At that time, it will be more appropriate to catch them with sticky nets.
The cost of a sticky net is not high, only seven or eight yuan per net, but one net is only pulled three or five times at most, and the net will be reimbursed once a big fish is caught.
Li Changle only wanted to buy the good ones, and spent all the more than 900 yuan that the families had compensated him with, and even gave him a few dozen yuan in subsidies, filling his tricycle to the brim.
When the four of them arrived at the waterway, Chen Yongwei suddenly remembered that they had not yet named the boat. "Brother, have you thought of a name for the new boat?"
Damn it! Li Changle slapped his head, "Oh! How could I forget such an important thing? Brother, have you ever thought about it?"
"We have almost returned all the knowledge we have to our teacher. You and your sister-in-law are the only ones with a higher level of education in the family. Naming your children is your business." Brother Li said righteously.
"I think the Rising Sun is pretty good!" Brother Li looked at the three of them, "How about we use the Rising Sun? What do you think?"
Brother Li and Chen Yongwei looked at Li Changle, "We don't care, what about you?"
"Let me think about it!" Li Changle turned around twice and said to the few people, "I thought of it. Our small boat is the Rising Sun, and the big boat is the Rising East. The rising sun represents that our fishing business will prosper day by day!"
The three brothers also thought the name was good. The second brother Li said, "Look, we need to study more. We couldn't think of a name with such a good meaning."
"I don't have any hope for my Xiaoyang anymore. I'll be thankful if he can get into junior high school."
"Brother, there will be more and more mechanical equipment on the boat in the future. Talk to him and ask him to read more books and improve his education. Send him to the Zhang family to learn repair technology from them for two years. In the future, if the fishing boat breaks down, you don't have to find someone to repair it."
They can repair simple faults themselves, but major faults can only be repaired by sending the ship to the dock.
"I'll go back and talk to him."
As they were talking, the group arrived outside Lao Zhang's house. Lao Zhang, with his hands covered in boat mud, came to greet them with a smile on his face.
After a few people exchanged greetings, Li Changle and others gave the remaining money. Lao Zhang took out the ship registration form and said, "I have filled out the ship registration form. You can take it to the fishery department of the border police station to register the ship information.
Also, the fishery administration now encourages fishery personnel to obtain a certificate before taking up their posts. If you want to sign up for training, I can help you sign up.”
"Okay, please help my father and the four of us to report the boss, many people, old rules, and these positions."
"Okay, I'll fill in the information for you right away." Lao Zhang was afraid that Li Changle would go back on his word, because after receiving the task assigned to them by the Fisheries Administration,
It was the first time that he met people who were so active in cooperating with the exam and taking the exam for all the certificates required for important positions. With their registration, his task this year would be completed.
Big Brother Li, Second Brother Li, and Chen Yongwei looked at Old Zhang who was actively filling out the registration information, and looked at Li Changle with a bitter face, "Ah Le, do you really need to take so many exams?"
Li Changle nodded heavily, "You must take the exam. The sooner you take it, the more worthwhile it will be." They don't know the use of these certificates, but doesn't he know it?
As long as you have the license, even if you do nothing in the future, you can still make a lot of money every month by registering these licenses on other fishing boats.
Besides, the training fee these days is only 20 or 30 yuan, which is too cheap compared to the training fee of thousands or tens of thousands in the future.
Lao Zhang looked up and smiled, "Ah Ping, don't be afraid of trouble. Listen to Ah Le and pass the exam as soon as possible. It will be very useful in the future."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Brother Li paid the training fee and said, "Let's go to the ship and get familiar with the equipment."
"Okay!" Lao Zhang handed the contract to Brother Li and led a few people to the pier. "Customized specifications, machinery, communications, and names of various components are all on it. If you don't understand anything, I'll tell you." Brother Li took a look and found that there were many words on it that he couldn't recognize. "I can recognize the words on it, but I can't recognize the words written on it. Let's go on board and see the things first."
The boat that Zhao Laoer customized was similar to the one ordered by Li Changle in length and facilities, except that it had two more beds for the crew.
He booked a set of upper and lower bunks and a kitchen. This ship had upper, middle and lower bunks, a total of six bunks, and a small single room was separated to serve as the captain's room. Li Changle asked Lao Zhang to help cover it with a fireproof layer and turn it into a kitchen.
The fishing boat is 23.9 meters long and 6 meters wide, with a popular pointed bow... It has a carrying capacity of 47 tons, an average draft of 1.8 meters, a displacement of 131 tons, and a speed of 9.6 knots.
The trawling net adopts the stern slide single-boat mid-layer trawling net, which controls the water layer where the net is located by mechanically adjusting the length of the towing wire, and is also called variable water layer trawling.
The stern ramp is a facility installed at the stern of a ship, mainly used for lifting and lowering fishing nets or other cargo.
An inclined slide extends from the deck to the water surface, allowing fishing nets or other heavy objects to be easily towed and lowered into the water through the slide.
When operating in the deep sea, this type of trawl is more flexible as it is not restricted by water depth, seabed topography and geology, and the trawl is not easily damaged.
The group arrived in front of the control console, and Lao Zhang pointed to the maritime radio station and said, "The maritime radio station is yours, and the walkie-talkie it is equipped with is a Red Star brand wireless high-frequency walkie-talkie."
Brother Li pulled Li Changle and Chen Yongwei, pointed at the intercom and said, "See, press the number on this button, 1, select the channel to talk.
2. Dial the other party's ship number to talk... 4. Group call for help in case of distress... Receive fishery administration signals, this knob is for adjusting the volume, this one is for reducing noise... Do you two understand?"
Chen Yongwei nodded seriously, "I understand."
Brother Li looked at the brand new ship with excitement, and gently stroked the equipment. "Ah Le, will the ship next year also have these equipment?"
Lao Zhang took over and said, "The equipment on that boat is better than this one. It is equipped with a locator, which can improve the positioning accuracy of fishing boats.
It helps determine the location of ships at sea, quickly find fishing grounds, and reduce losses in the event of bad weather."
Brother Li smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "No wonder it cost more than 10,000 yuan."
"It's not expensive, the boat has been lengthened a lot!" Lao Zhang said with a smile, "I heard that this year the Provincial Fisheries Department purchased a single-beam color horizontal fish finder from the United States, that's expensive.
It is said that this instrument can detect schools of fish and has good imaging accuracy. It is said that the average catch of each ship equipped with this horizontal fish finder can be increased by 10%-50%. "
"Fishing Detective, this thing is great!" Brother Li looked at Li Changle excitedly, "A Le, let's get one too."
Li Changle turned around and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how accurate is his fishing locator? You know, no matter what it is, as long as it is averaged, the accuracy will be unreliable."
I had heard of this thing on a fishing boat in my previous life. Its accuracy was about the same as that of a fortune teller, and was much worse than the later multi-beam system.
Just like the data in later generations, they are always averaged. If you average them with the two horses, a poor man will become a rich man in seconds.
Lao Zhang laughed awkwardly, "It's said that on average it can be improved by 10%-50%. As for how accurate it is, I don't know. I'll go to the city and ask my colleagues someday."
"Okay!" Li Changle agreed with a smile. After a look around, the eldest and second brothers Li also figured out the mechanical equipment on the ship.
After telling Lao Zhang the ship number, the group got off the boat and agreed with Lao Zhang to come and test the boat in the early morning. He arranged for the technical staff to accompany the ship tomorrow.
Li Changle and his companions took the ship registration form to the border police station, applied for a gun license, and then went to the fishery administration window to register the ship.
After returning to Nanshan, Li's mother, daughter-in-law and Li Daxiao were killing jellyfish at the beach. In the past few days, people had been sending jellyfish to sell, and they collected about 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms in total.
Li Changle and others looked at the jellyfish buried in the sand and took bamboo baskets to help dig it out and clean it.
Mother Li waved at them and said, "There's one more basket to be slaughtered. We don't need your help. We have to stay up late tonight. Go back and get some sleep."
"Go back and sleep, we'll be there soon." Mrs. Li also urged them to go back.
The four of them helped carry two buckets of clean jellyfish back. As soon as Li Changle and Chen Yongwei reached the intersection, they met Li's father who was sending Agen out.
"Ah Le, A Gen wants to buy a boat. How much do you want?"
"Someone has already reserved my line." Li Changle looked at Agen, "My brother is in the back, can you ask if anyone has reserved theirs?"
"So fast?" Agen asked somewhat disappointedly, "Who did you sell it to?"
He thought that Li Changle's ship was a prosperous one, so he rushed to ask as soon as he heard the news. He didn't expect that someone would be quicker than him.
"A friend." Li Changle didn't know the situation between Ge Changfa and his brother, so he didn't say his name.
Thank you for your support! Thank you!
