Chapter 892 Finalizing the Large Fishing Boat

Langtou Village.

Zhao Dahai woke up and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He walked out of the yard and saw that his second grandmother Huang Jintao was there, and the two were chatting.

"Second grandmother."

"Where is the second grandfather?"

Zhao Dahai felt a little strange. Last night, he had dinner with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and several other families. He sent Ding Xiaoxiang back to the village to continue eating. The second grandfather and second grandmother were there. Last night, they had agreed to eat at their own home today. Now, only the second grandmother Huang Jintao was seen, but the second grandfather Zhao Shi was not seen.

"Your second grandfather went to Shi Guangming's house."

"Didn't he buy a big sea fishing boat? Now he went there again."

Huang Jintao smiled. Zhao Shi finished his meal last night and drank a little wine, but he got up early and went to Shi Guangming's house.

"Ha!"

"Isn't it good like this?"

"Second Grandpa has something to do, so he doesn't have to stay at home all day doing nothing."

"Life is much better now."

Zhao Dahai pulled a stool and was about to sit down when Grandma Zhong Cuihua pointed to the kitchen.

Zhao Dahai then remembered that he had slept for such a long time, not to mention breakfast, he hadn't even had lunch yet.

Zhao Dahai immediately walked into the kitchen, took a big bowl, filled it with a bowl of rice and some dishes, and walked out. He pulled a stool and sat next to Grandma Zhong Cuihua and Second Grandma Huang Jintao, eating big mouthfuls of food while chatting with them.

Zhao Dahai finished a bowl of rice, walked into the kitchen again, filled another bowl, and just walked out, he heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from the door, and then little Naihei rushed out.

Zhao Dahai knew that Ding Xiaoxiang had come and walked out immediately.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"Why are you here? I was planning to have dinner, and I'll go to the town to find you later."

Zhao Dahai was very happy to see Ding Xiaoxiang.

"I'm thinking about the house and land at home. I have to take another look to see when we have to start building."

Ding Xiaoxiang parked the motorcycle, patted Xiao Naihei's forehead, and walked to Zhao Dahai's side. The land in the town has already started construction, and the foundation has been almost dug, and construction will start soon. This place in the village is where Zhao Dahai and I will live in the future, and we have to start.

"Hey!"

"Xiaoxiang."

"Are there too many things recently? Can you handle it?"

Zhao Dahai was a little worried.

Ding Xiaoxiang has been too busy recently. One is the vacant land in the town, and now the building has started. Although Yang Qin, Liu Lei and Liu Gang are watching, it is definitely impossible for them to be 100% hands-off. They have to go there as much as possible to take a look, even every day.

Next, Ding Chongshan and Zhang Li had to go to Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao's homes, and Ding Xiaoxiang had to help sell fish at the town's fish market stall.

During this period, I caught a lot of fish at sea, and Ding Xiaoxiang had to help sell fish and so on. These things added up are already enough, and once the house in the house starts construction, there will be more things to do.

"How about this, I will go out to sea less fishing recently, and I have to help, otherwise I will definitely be too busy."

Zhao Dahai calculated that Ding Xiaoxiang really couldn't handle so many things by herself, so I had to help.

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head without thinking. Zhao Dahai can make a lot of money every time he goes out to sea. Let's not talk about anything else. Just this trip out to sea, he caught so many croakers and so many horse friends. He delayed fishing for this little thing at home, and the loss was really a bit big.

"Dahai!"

"This is absolutely not possible!"

"If the weather is bad, you can rest at home for a while. If the weather is good, you still have to go out to sea to fish."

"There are a lot of things to do at home, so it must be a bit hard, but as long as you grit your teeth, you can get through it!"

"My parents have to go to my eldest sister-in-law's house next, which will only take ten days or half a month."

"The houses in the village can be started a little later."

"If it's seven or eight days or ten days or half a month later, all the things can be done at the same time."

Ding Xiaoxiang had already figured this out. No matter how busy he is, Zhao Dahai will definitely go out to sea to fish. This will never change, let alone delay.

There are indeed a lot of things on hand, and it's a bit too busy, but he only needs to wait for his parents to go to Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao's house for ten days and half a month at night to be free.

"Okay!"

"Then it's settled. The land in the village will be built in half a month or a month."

Zhao Dahai nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang must be very tired with this arrangement, but the problem is not too big. With a little effort, she should be able to take care of it.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang discussed this matter and walked into the yard.

Ding Xiaoxiang walked to Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao, pulled a stool and sat down, and talked about the house building that she and Zhao Dahai had just discussed. She knew that Zhong Cuihua had always wanted to start the construction of the house in the village as soon as possible.

Zhong Cuihua nodded. Recently, Ding Xiaoxiang has too many things on her hands, and there is nothing she can do. Zhao Dahai has to go out to sea to fish and can't help. No matter how capable he is, it is impossible for one person to work in two people.

"Xiaoxiang."

"You and Zhao Dahai can discuss these things!"

"There is one thing you must pay attention to, that is, you must not tire yourself out."

"The work must be done, but it doesn't make much difference if it's done earlier or later."

Zhong Cuihua is a little worried. Ding Xiaoxiang is very quick in doing things, but because of this, she wants to finish everything at once, which will be too tiring.

"Grandma!"

"Don't worry!"

"I must arrange this matter properly!"

"I won't tire myself out!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded.

Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang chatting with his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao. He quickly finished the food in the bowl in his hand, went into the kitchen to wash the bowl and came out again. He was just thinking about whether to go to the dock to see what the wind and waves were like today, when his second grandfather Zhao Shi strode in from outside.

"Ah!"

"Second grandfather."

"Didn't you go to Shiqiao Village? Didn't you go to Shi Jiehua's house?"

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. He just asked Huang Jintao that he went to Shijiao Village, to Shi Jiehua and Shi Guangming's house, to see the sea fishing boat. Generally speaking, he must have finished dinner before returning. It was less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Shi saw Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang and nodded. It happened that both of them were there.

"I just discussed something with old man Shi Guangming in Shijiao Village."

"Aren't you renting someone else's fishing boat now?"

"Buy your own fishing boat quickly. Shi Guangming and I, two old men, have nothing to do. We can support this boat with Ding Dawen and three other people and hire some people to work. It won't take ten days or half a month for Ding Wen to drive the boat by himself."

"If Shi Guangming and I take care of it for a while, there will be no problem!"

Zhao Shi pulled a stool and sat down, lit his hookah, and told him what he and Shi Guangming had discussed while smoking.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang looked at each other and knew what Shi Guangming was thinking.

"Okay."

"Hurry up and see if you can get another fishing boat."

"Whenever you buy a boat, you and Grandpa Shi Guangming will have to trouble you and Grandpa Shi to drive Ding Dawen."

Zhao Dahai made up his mind.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. There was really no need to be polite about this matter. Ding Ailian might really have to marry Shi Zhongwei. Just for this relationship, Shi Guangming had to do his best to do this.

"Dahai!"

"Xiaoxiang!"

"The fishing boat has been bought. In addition to Ding Dawen, we need to find a few people to help work on the fishing boat."

Zhao Shi reminded Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"We don't need to find people to work on the fishing boat. Let's ask Brother Dawen if he has a suitable person. If he has a suitable person, he will decide."

Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang.

The traditional custom of the fishing village is that the traditional captain of the fishing boat finds people he is familiar with to work on the boat.

Ding Dawen did work for himself and Ding Xiaoxiang, but no matter what, he was the captain of the fishing boat. There was no need for him and Ding Xiaoxiang to decide who would work on the boat. Ding Dawen had people he was familiar with, such as people he grew up with, which was very good.

"Okay!"

"Isn't Brother Wen at the dock now? We can go there now and discuss this matter."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that this was a long-standing custom in the fishing village. As long as Ding Dawen knew someone who was willing to work on the fishing boat, the matter would be left to Ding Dawen to decide.

"The sea!"

"How is the fishing boat?"

Zhao Shi took a puff of hookah and blew out a cloud of thick smoke.

Ding Dawen has been confirmed as the captain of the boat. It is a simple matter to find two or three people to work on the fishing boat. If Ding Dawen has someone, then he will decide. If Ding Dawen doesn't have someone, then he can find someone else. The most important thing is to get a suitable fishing boat.

"I told my second uncle a few days ago!"

"It's not easy to get a brand new fishing boat. Several large shipyards don't have brand new fishing boats ready."

"There are several second-hand ones, one of which is 80% new. It has only been launched for half a year."

"I'm thinking about whether to just take this fishing boat!"

Ding Xiaoxiang told Zhao Shi that there are several second-hand fishing boats now. One has been launched for two years and is almost 50% new, and the other has been launched for half a year and is almost 80% new.

The prices of the two fishing boats are very suitable, both are market prices, and now they have to decide which fishing boat to take.

"Both are fishing boats specially used to transport seafood, and the cold storage and live hold are very large."

"The fishing boat is more than 30 meters long and about 8 meters wide."

"The draft is close to four meters."

"The fishing boat has a cold storage that can keep 25 tons of live fish and 10 tons for a long time."

Ding Xiaoxiang talked about the situation of the two fishing boats she had inquired about.

"Oh?"

"Are the two boats the same size? Just newer and older?"

"Are they a little too big?"

Zhao Shi didn't expect that the fishing boat Ding Xiaoxiang had inquired about was so big. To be able to earn so many fish, the live water tank and cold storage combined could hold 35 tons of fish, which was not a small size.

"Second Grandpa!"

"The size of the fishing boat is indeed not small."

"It is impossible to keep so many fish on the fishing boat in many cases."

"But then again. One ton of fish is only one thousand kilograms. Thirty-five tons does sound like a relatively large number, but in fact it is not as large as imagined. If Zhao Dahai can catch so many fish every time he goes out to sea, it is better to have a bigger fishing boat than a smaller one, even if it wastes a little space."

"Don't wait until you think the fishing boat is too small and have to change it, that would be a bit of a waste."

"A large fishing boat can keep many fish on it."

"There will be a lot of room for maneuver."

Ding Xiaoxiang also felt that the 35-ton live water tank and cold storage were a bit too big at first, but after careful consideration, she felt that it was not particularly large.

Zhao Dahai took Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da to go fishing. Just for sea bass, in a day, especially if the tide and water flow were good, they could easily catch three to five thousand kilograms.

If there were no such large fishing boats, they would definitely have to sell as many as they could, but with such a large fishing boat, they would have to think carefully about the fish they would sell every day. Even if they caught 1,000 kilograms of fish, they would sell 300 or 400 kilograms, and definitely not more than 500 kilograms. If they could catch 1,000 kilograms of fish on the second trip, they would have to feed 1,000 kilograms of fish on the fishing boat in two days.

Such a large fishing boat would definitely cost money, but the place where this fishing boat went was not particularly far. Most of the time, it would travel or stay in the island and reef foam area. At most, it was just an artificial island and reef. The cost was not as much as imagined.

Zhao Shi nodded while listening to Ding Xiaoxiang's words. Ordinary people would definitely not need such a large fishing boat, but Zhao Dahai had caught too many fish now, especially when fishing in the open sea. Most of the fish he caught were alive. Such a fishing boat could definitely be used. It was not particularly large. Even if there was a little waste, it was definitely not too much.

"Okay!"

"It's this big, so it's this big!"

"The price is right. Fishing boats must be newer!"

"If there is no way to buy a brand new fishing boat, my idea is to buy one that is 80% new."

Zhao Shi doesn't understand such fishing boats, but the principle is the same. The newer the boat, the better.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai nodded. His idea was the same as Zhao Shi's. When buying such a fishing boat, it must be as new as possible. The price can be the market price. He really doesn't need this little money now.

Ding Xiaoxiang saw that Zhao Dahai had made up his mind. After thinking for a while, he walked into the main room and took the phone to call his second uncle Ding Lihua.
