His refrigerator and freezer were almost full, and he was waiting for them to contact the fresh-picking ship to take out the inventory and make space. He would catch them for a few more days and then refill them before returning home.

The refrigerator compartment is not as big as the freezer, so when the goods cannot fit, he simply puts them directly in the freezer. When selling, he also takes them out of the freezer in advance.

When the fresh harvest boat came for the second time, everyone was obviously more excited. It was already the second day of February and the dragon had raised its head.

They were also secretly calculating in their minds that they should be able to go back in a few days.

Ye Yaodong didn't let them wait too long. When it was just dark on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a thunder sounded, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the entire sky, then darkened again, followed by the roar of thunder and the waves.

It was churning and raging, as if someone was going through a catastrophe.

The workers, who were all eating, were startled by the thunder on the ground and looked up at the purple thunder and lightning in the sky.

The thunder on the sea felt closer to them, and the roaring thunder seemed to hit everyone's hearts. Listening to the thunder, their hearts trembled.

Ye Yaodong was eating his food and looking at the lightning in the sky. Then he turned to look at the calendar. There were only three days until the Wake of Insects.

The thunder of spring makes all things grow.

Before the thunder struck, he would not see the sky for seven or forty-nine days.

Spring thunder rang before the Waking of Insects, and the sun did not appear for forty-nine days.

Thunder struck before the Waking of Insects passed, and the clouds did not clear for forty-nine days.

This is a golden rule, which means that if there is thunder before the Waking of Insects, it will rain continuously.

According to this theory, if thunder occurs before the solar term Jingzhe, there may not be a sunny day for more than a month, but instead there will be dark clouds and continuous spring rain all day long.

"It's over~"

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the calendar and looked through it in annoyance, cursing.

"Damn it, if there's thunder right now, it won't be nice until the Qingming Festival. Damn it, how can I dry my shredded squid?"

He deliberately saved up to 100,000 catties, and kept all the recent catches in cold storage, and then sold them all two days ago. He was worried that there would be too much goods and he would not be able to handle them.

This thunder sounded, not only was it impossible to do anything, it was simply impossible to do anything, and it was all in vain.

Madhu... Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation...

I'm not even in the mood to eat.

He took the wall calendar and flipped it up and down. Thunder and lightning struck outside one after another, and he cursed louder.

The new money-making plan seems to be in ruins for the time being.

This is not something he just imagined or figured out. This proverb has existed throughout the ages and is regarded as a golden rule by farmers. Elderly people are very good at observing solar terms, so he reacted to it immediately.

There was only rain but no thunder a few days ago, which was fine. Today, there was suddenly such a heavy thunder that I was playing ball.

Just when he was worried, the rain came down heavily and the windshield was obscured.

"I scolded the guy next door...what's wrong..."

He sighed heavily and threw the calendar aside, hoping to get through the stormy night first.

It wasn't time to set up the net yet, so he was thinking about whether he could just go back in the evening while working.

His boat can still withstand the wind and waves, but he originally planned to return in the next few days. Since it has already rained so heavily, should he just take advantage of the situation and return?

He changed the direction of the fishing boat and planned to slowly go back to work. After the net was put away, he would check the weather and chat with Zhao Chengzhou.

The two old men were also talking about this thunderstorm, saying that the weather would not get better until the Qingming Festival.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Ding, it's thundering and raining heavily."

"Yes, it suddenly thundered and rained so heavily. Didn't you originally plan to go back in the next few days? Do you want to go back in advance now?"

"Seeing the sudden weather, I also thought about going back early."

"You plan to go back in the next two days anyway, so you might as well go back now. I don't know how long this thunderstorm will last, but it will be hard to have good weather until Qingming..."

They are all experienced old people. They can predict the weather in the coming period just by looking at the thunder at night, which is more reliable than weather forecasts.

"I think so too. I think the weather will definitely not be good in the future. Now I plan to walk back first, work slowly, and then put the net away and go back directly."

"Well, you're right. You know the weather is bad, so you might as well go back early."

"I'll let you know in advance to save you from worrying about not being able to see my ship later."

"Okay, if you come out on the next trip, you can also look for the chart we came out with at the beginning. Anyway, we are basically in the surrounding area. We will contact you after we come out to determine the location."

"Okay, thank you."

Rumbles of thunder continued to fall, and the workers had begun to worry.

After Ye Yaodong made an agreement with the two old men, he went out with a loudspeaker to inform everyone and reassure them.

It was the first time for the workers to board such a big ship. They were in the middle of the sea and felt closer to the sky. The thunder sounded overhead, which was much scarier than at home.

The waves on the bow of the boat can hit the boat, and the fishing boat is shaking more violently than before. Everyone is a little worried about whether the boat can withstand the wind and waves.

It's not that they don't have confidence, it's just that it's their first time running so far, and the waves hit them higher than people.

After hearing Ye Yaodong's reassurance that they had already turned back and would go back after the net was put away, they felt more relieved for the time being.

After Ye Yaodong returned to the cockpit, he began to think about his big red squids again. He had kept them all, so he couldn't really fall short, right?

With such a large quantity, it would not be a loss to transport it back and sell it directly, but his plan was ruined. He had planned it well, and it would be simple to implement it.

It will also become an important way for him to make a fortune in the future. In addition to dried fish and fish sauce, he has also expanded into new marine businesses.

Since the weather is going to be bad and we can't get natural sunlight, I don't know if we can get a dryer.

He thought thoughtfully, forget about large ones, medium-sized ones are also fine, and domestic ones are also good.

It’s already 1987, so there should be some dryers used in agriculture and food, right?

In recent years, haven't we been developing industry and introducing advanced foreign equipment and technology? Then we have also manufactured some things, right?

He was thinking about it alone.

But just by relying on him to figure it out, he actually can't figure it out. For more details, he has to ask his godfather.

After all, he is also the director of the Fisheries Bureau. If he is involved in the drying techniques of these seafood, he should know something about it, right?

This is much better than just imagining things on his own.

Even if it can be done, time is also a problem, and voltage is also a problem.

By the way, doesn't his eldest son work at the Electricity Bureau?

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, not knowing whether he could get it done in a few days. If there was no trace of him in a day or two, he would have no choice but to sell a whole shipload of goods directly to Ah Cai.

It is estimated that Ah Cai's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw his cargo, and he did not dare to accept such a large cargo.

Just collecting fresh goods from home is probably enough for him to keep busy.

I have a headache...

Now we can only hope that the country has made great progress and now has these industrialized equipment.

As long as you have these equipments, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to go the godfather route.

He spent the whole night thinking about it, notifying the workers to close the nets but he didn't go out to take a look. It was windy and rainy outside, and he didn't want to go out.

When the workers below were collecting the nets, they were shaken from time to time by the fishing boats, which made the work more difficult.

The waves from the bow of the boat also crashed in from time to time. They didn't know whether they were wet by the sea water or the rain. They were wearing raincoats and were wet from head to toe.

After being out for more than half a month, tonight gave them a taste of the ruthlessness of the waves.

They had not experienced the battle between swordfish and shark a few days ago. After all, they had not seen it with their own eyes, only after the war.

It was already after 10 o'clock when Ye Yaodong returned as fast as he could. When all the fishing nets were collected, he informed everyone and set a route back.

All the workers were on the deck to help sort the goods, and there were no more shifts.

It's time to return, and I must finish sorting all the goods before I can rest.

When it was time to go home, they all cheered up.

The voyage they made when they came out lasted for more than ten hours, but the first three or four hours were all sailing at full speed. After setting the net, they slowly worked on the chart while working.

The speed of his boat was originally faster than the other two boats, but when it came out, it also accommodated the speed of the other two boats.

Now he is rushing back with all his strength. It should have been faster, but his ship is now full of cargo and he has returned fully loaded. In addition, plus the wind and rain, he estimates that it will take at least six or seven hours to reach the port.

There are too many factors that affect navigation.

The specific time to dock depends on the weather and waves on the road.

There were lightning and thunder along the way, which showed that the thunderstorm was not just limited to the sea area, but also covered a wide area.

Ye Yaodong has already thought of a plan to deal with the squid, so he will focus on the sea first. The next step is to get to the shore first.

We docked at the city wharf. Part of the cargo was handled by Ah Cai, and the rest of the squid was left behind until he had visited his godfather.

There are also some other big fish and commodities. I will go back to the docking town later and ask Hong Wenle if he needs any.

By the way, I can also naturally ask him about the loan progress and the fish cannery.

After all, he has been out for a month, and the loan should have been approved anyway. Since he has been away from home for such a long time, he doesn't know what the progress is or whether he will change his mind.
