Old man Xie gently patted his comrade's arm, his eyes full of worry and concern.
"I haven't seen you in half a year. What's your waist?"
"Hey, it's nothing, it's nothing. It's very humid at the beach. It's like this when you get old. Come on, let's go to the dock first and see what good goods are coming. Then we go home. I asked the old lady to prepare some good wine!"
Old Man Xie pointed at the old chess king and said, "Do you still know him?"
Tian Dali nodded and said, "I know, I know. It was a six when we robbed us of our trophies. I almost pulled out a gun for a few broken cans and broken leather shoes!"
Old man Xie finally got his revenge and smiled heartlessly.
The old chess king rolled his eyes in anger.
After introducing everyone, Old Man Xie said, "My brother is now the village chief. Don't think of the village chief as a cadre. He is also in charge of hundreds of people!"
Tian Dali laughed and led the way, following the gravel road to the dock soon.
At this time, several wooden boats also docked and parked on the trestle, with people coming and going to unload their goods.
A man with a red face got off the boat carrying a crab with teeth and claws.
"Uncle, look at this crab!"
This crab was as big as two adults' hands, and it was as big as a little girl's arm. It looked like it was weighing two pounds, and it was so happy to show its teeth and claws.
Zhou Xiaomeng's little eyes almost turned into small light bulbs, and she opened her mouth wide and let out a wow!
"Hey, good stuff, I want it, I'll keep it for the distinguished guests, and if there's anything else, I'll take a look at it!"
A few of them then picked up some net bags and plastic buckets and placed them on the shore.
Tian Dali looked at them one by one, shook his head at others, and curled his lips at others.
"That's all!"
The red-faced man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You still don't know about the fishing situation? Hasn't it been like this for the past two years? This time, except for the big crab, which is considered a good product, the rest is just enough for gas money. From now on, I think it's better to paddle Boat out and save money!”
Why don't you, kid, open and pick up which pot? Tian Dali glared at the guy, picked some decent seafood, and then waited for other people on the boat to unload the goods.
After all three ships had finished unloading their cargo, Tian Dali picked out a few kilograms of crab roe, a few kilograms of shrimp, three decent fish, and some shellfish and other miscellaneous fish.
The little girl was so happy that she picked up a lot of shells, starfish and other things, and she didn't mind the fishy smell on her hands!
The group of people carried the seafood and walked along the gravel road towards the village.
Along the way, I saw moss-covered doors and mostly stone houses, with ancient flavor and traces of history everywhere.
Children were running along the way, chickens were flying and dogs were barking, and the rich flavor of life hit our faces.
"Captain, it would be better if you came half a month later. Now that the sea is closed, we can't go far away. We can only make do with some small fish and shrimp nearby. If we wait until the sea opens on August 15th, what kind of seafood will be available?" No!"
Tian Dali led the way from the front and kept introducing the history and various customs of the village.
Old man Xie smiled and said, "You are not an outsider, so don't pretend to be fat. If the sea really opens, how dare those broken boats in your village go to the deep sea? It's not like my nephew is lighting lanterns - it's the same as usual!"
Tian Dali smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm trying to make you look good, captain. To be honest, who wouldn't? Deep Sea Ocean belongs to a large fishing company. Since we are related, we can just farm the land and catch small fish." !”
"There is no hope in the village. Nowadays, all the promising children like to go to the big cities and no one wants to go back to the village. This village will become old bones in a few years, and they will not be able to go to sea even if they want to!"
Old Man Xie was touched in his heart, and there was a sense of sadness in his tone, "Old, we are all old, we can't understand anymore!"
The old chess king said, "You guys, go out more and see more. Your knowledge will broaden and you will feel younger!"
Old man Xie snorted, "Where are we going? I'm looking for you in Luonan? Why don't you piss me off to death every day!"
The two industries of offshore fishing and shallow-sea aquaculture are currently in the ascendant. When high-speed and smooth logistics develop in the future, they will usher in an era of rapid development.
Zhang Jiaqiang sees far and knows that now is the best time to enter the industry. If it takes a few years, the pit will be filled!
He immediately said, "Why doesn't our village have two ocean-going ships? Isn't it said that once the whistle blows, there is a thousand taels of gold? How can you not make a lot of money just by going on an ocean trip?"
Tian Dali knew that Zhang Jiaqiang was the junior of the captains, so he spoke more politely, "It's easier said than done. Everyone knows that deep sea exploration can make a lot of money, but where can you get the money to buy a ship? Even if you buy a big ship by selling iron and steel, we are the best in the world. It’s not easy to play, you need professionals!”
This is true. It is said that it takes many years to get the navigator's certificate, and among the first mate, second mate, and engineer on board, none of them graduated from a professional school.
Moreover, when people choose a career, they always choose state-owned enterprises. Large enterprises will never piss off a small fishing village!
It’s hard to get all the people together, and you can’t afford to support them. Not to mention anything else, the high salary alone is a big burden.
However, if others can’t afford it, Zhang Jiaqiang may not be able to afford it. When the stock market funds come out, buying two fishing boats will not be a big problem.
However, he doesn't want to take such a big step yet. He needs to completely stabilize the two factories in his hands first!
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "It is difficult to buy a boat for fishing, but the Shallow Sea Breeding Head Office can get fish fry in the net cage and raise them slowly!"
Tian Dali stopped, pushed open two large black wooden doors, and shouted inside.
"Old lady, a distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Let's go, we're home!" He stood at the door, waving his arms repeatedly and looking excited.
Everyone filed in, and Tian Dali said to Zhang Jiaqiang, "Farming is not reliable. In the past few years, Shantou Village invested hundreds of thousands. In three years, it has only harvested a few small fish and shrimps. It is better to go to sea!"
Zhang Jiaqiang paid attention. This was either a technical issue or a seedling issue. It seemed that until these two issues were resolved, it was all empty talk.
After entering the door, giving up your seat, pouring tea, and chatting, the table was soon filled with all kinds of seafood.
Farmhouse dishes are not as elaborate as those in restaurants, but they have an original, fresh and natural taste.
This meal was quite boring, and it basically became a nostalgic dinner for the three old people to reminisce about the glorious past.
Others barely interrupted, and even the little girl just silently enjoyed the spoon-feeding service.
However, Zhang Jiaqiang was busy racing and thinking about how to implement his plan.
After the meal, the three old men made tea and continued chatting. Zhang Jiaqiang took his wife and children out to see the scenery.
Not far away, I saw a man holding a fishing net and putting it on a bamboo pole to dry.
Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the fellow whose fishing net was caught by a car?
The man also saw Zhang Jiaqiang and was so shocked that he dropped his fishing net and ran away.
Not far away, a bleating sheep came, and Zhang Jiaqiang saw the owner of the lamb again, walking from outside the village with a very familiar lamb.
It was natural for this person to pretend not to see Zhang Jiaqiang and just pass him by.
Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but stop him, "This sheep looks familiar, very similar to the one that was rolled to death!"
The owner of the lamb quickly waved his hand, "No, they are twins. The one just now has been buried. Don't scare the family of the deceased!"
Now Zhang Jiaqiang is almost certain that this one is the one just now!
It's so amazing, this little guy is actually a born actor. Not only can he pretend to be dead, but he can also act in conjunction with his master. What a sheep!
