Chapter 412 An extra dog(1/2)
A boat like his, which is more than ten meters long, can barely stay in calm waters for a day or two, but it will be difficult if it encounters strong winds and waves.
Moreover, it carries less oil, less fish, limited endurance and cabin capacity, and has no economic benefits. The boat is small and the cabin is small, and there is no room for people to sleep after all kinds of fishing nets and debris are piled up.
The current operating area for fishing boats of his size is generally offshore. It is safest to operate on the same day and come back the same day.
While thinking about it, he had an idea in mind, but he felt that it was too early to buy a big boat, and it was too eye-catching. The boat was just replaced last year. It would be okay if it settles down for a few years, and the funds will be stronger by then.
.
I'm just afraid that no one can afford the boat now, and in a few years it will be hard to say, and I don't know if it can be kept.
Uncle Zhao, who sold him the boat last year, wanted to sell the boat and raise funds to buy a bigger boat.
After thinking about it, he asked Xiaoxiao and Azheng, interrupting their bickering.
"Hey... let me ask you, how much does a big boat of 20 to 30 meters cost now?"
He really wasn't very clear about it, and he never paid attention to the market conditions at this time in his previous life.
"I don't know. I heard that those in the fishing brigade were selling them cheaply, but not many people could afford them. We saw them when we went back to buy boats last time, but we didn't ask. We couldn't even afford them anymore, so we asked.
What's the question?"
"Such a big ship, no matter how cheap it is, it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, right? You can make a lot of money just fishing in the East China Sea with this kind of ship. What? You want to change the ship? You have made such a big step, isn't your ship a new one?
How long ago did you buy it?”
"Damn it, that's not right. Your family is so rich? Are you really a ten thousand-yuan household?"
Ye Yaodong hurriedly explained, "Isn't this a curious question? People have to have dreams. Can't we just let people dream about them? If we don't even dare to think about them, how useless would they be? Think about it and even dream about it.
Keeping yourself happy can also be beneficial to your physical and mental health.”
Xiao Xiao agreed, "It makes sense! What's wrong with dreams? Don't people dream about dreams? I also bought a big boat in my dream."
"What are your dreams? I have always dreamed of buying a yacht, hugging each other and sailing out to sea." Azheng said proudly.
Ye Yaodong gave him a disgusted look.
But their reaction also reminded him that the steps he had taken were indeed too big, and now was really not the time to change to a bigger ship.
That boat can go deep sea, but the cost is also very high, not to mention the labor cost, and the fuel cost is also very high.
He now only has more than 7,000 yuan, which he earned by fishing for squid some time ago and going to sea on and off in the past two months, after deducting expenses.
It may be close to buying a boat. You have to sell the current boat, but you also have to spend all your money. The investment is too big, and you can't touch other treasures.
Forget it, let’s talk about it in a few years. At this time, not many people can afford it anyway, and there are not many households with ten thousand yuan in the countryside. It is estimated that many fishing brigades have such a big boat in their hands. Waiting for another two years
Years, it is estimated to be cheaper.
Think about it, this boat of more than ten meters is enough for him to live now. With such a boat, he would have been able to kill more than 90% of the people in the village instantly.
Even if it is decades later, it will not be bad and it will still be able to maintain a family's livelihood.
Anyway, he is not short of money, and it would be nice to live a more relaxed life. Now that he leaves early and comes back late, it is not bad to go back and forth on the same day.
A hot bed for his wife and children was originally what he wanted in his life, and he would change it when he had the opportunity in two years.
After he figured it out, he stopped worrying and continued to pick up the bowl and spoon to eat the half-eaten mung bean soup.
"Why do I feel that you are not anxious to go to sea to make money at all? These days when you are not going to sea, your life is quite beautiful. It seems that you are still enjoying it."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's quite refreshing! It's just that I don't have enough money. Otherwise, I could just sit at the door and shake my head every day."
"Everyone thinks this way because they don't know when they will make enough money."
"When you earn enough 10,000 yuan and become a household worth 10,000 yuan, you will earn a little more, earning 30,000 yuan. When you earn enough 30,000 yuan, you will want to earn 50,000 yuan, and then you will want to earn 100,000 yuan. So what?
What do you mean by making enough money?" Ye Yaodong asked his soul.
"No, I don't have such big ideals. As long as I make a household worth ten thousand yuan, I will be satisfied."
"When you earn enough to earn a household of 10,000 yuan, the money may no longer be valuable, and you may have to earn a million by then."
"Who dares to think of a million dollars just for talking nonsense? Then he will become the richest man in the country?"
"Haha~"
"Smile, give me a bowl of mung bean soup."
"In the washbasin in the house, you can fill it yourself, and by the way, you can fill another bowl for me."
The two of them entered the house, each filled a full bowl, and sat at the door to eat together. Looking at the fiery red sky reflected by the sunset, they both couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's quite beautiful."
"The fire clouds have turned half the sky red. It's really clear from the door of your house." Xiaoxiao looked at the sky in the distance while eating.
"There was a sunset just now, and it was quite beautiful. It's not inferior to the sunrise, but it's a pity that the east side of my door is blocked by mountains. I can't see the sunrise, but can only see the sunset in the west."
"We really haven't paid attention to the sunrise and sunset before. It's good to fill our stomachs. In the past few months, when we changed ships and went to sea, we saw the sunrise on the sea every three days, and then we discovered this sunrise.
It looks pretty good out there.”
Ah Zheng echoed: "Whoever is full enough to watch the sunrise every day will just happen to see it while trawling the sea. It looks like a salted egg yolk."
"It's a pity that it's hard to cook porridge on the ship. Otherwise, I can get you a bowl and watch how you eat."
"Hahaha~ When the ducks at your door lay eggs tomorrow, pickle some sea duck eggs for me."
"It's a good idea to raise a few of them yourself."
Azheng touched his chin, "But to be honest, it's really good for you to build your house here. It's convenient for raising ducks. Just rush to the door and let them go to the sea to catch small fish and shrimps."
Ye Yaodong felt the same way, and was proud of his cleverness at that time, but he could really raise a few more ducks, mainly because the sea is right at the door, which is convenient.
"You can consider moving here to be my neighbor."
"Forget it, I am the only son between my parents, so the house is fine."
Just as they were chatting animatedly, Aguang suddenly dragged a dog over. The dog kept barking fiercely while being dragged.
Their attention was also attracted, and they were all excited.
"Where did the dog come from?"
“Come on, I haven’t eaten dog meat for a long time.”
"I feel a little thinner."
Aguang held the rope to avoid the dog's bite, "I just dragged him to Fatty's house. His wife said that he hadn't come back yet and would have to wait until evening to come back from get off work, so I brought him here. It turns out you are all here."
"You can kill him first and then fire him when the fat man comes back."
"That's what I thought, so I dragged it to the beach. It's more convenient to kill it at the beach. This dog has been barking near my house for several days. It's so annoying that I can't sleep well at night. I might as well put a collar on it.
rope."
"Come on, come on, do what you say, I just have some free time..."
Seeing the dog, Xiaoxiao was no longer sleepy. When he asked him if he wanted a drink or two, he still said no. Now he was so excited, but where could he see signs of exhaustion?
"Drag it to the big tree in the distance and hang it first? Otherwise it will be difficult to kill..."
"Then drag him over there and hang him first..."
Ye Yaodong watched them discussing excitedly without saying anything. He was not very interested in eating dog meat.
"Is this dog male or female? Why do I think its breasts are a bit big?"
"Damn it."
"It feels like her belly is a little big. Could it be that she is having a baby so she is irritable?"
As soon as Ye Yaodong said these words, everyone else also looked towards the dog's belly.
"Will it be big? I don't think so."
"It seems a bit?"
"You touch it and see..."
A Guang hugged the dog's head and touched its belly, "It seems like it has a pup."
"It's over, the food and drinks are gone." As soon as Xiaoxiao took out the knife, he heard that there was a baby.
Ah Zheng squatted there and watched, "It's okay, just keep it. It will probably be fattened up after it's finished giving birth, and then I'll kill it and eat it."
A Guang didn't want to raise it, "You don't need food to raise a woolen yarn? Where are there any leftovers for it to eat? Let it find it on its own, otherwise it will save people a lot of noise."
"Let it go? Let it go, then it will be gone..."
"Otherwise, just tie it to my door and keep it! It's just right for me to look after the house." Ye Yaodong rubbed his chin and thought, it would be good to have a dog, and it can also look after the house and care for the home, so that no thieves will come to see him getting rich.
Come.
He went to sea at night and was not at home. He only had his wife and children at home, so he could get a dog to watch the door.
"That's fine. If you want, I'll let him live here."
"Well, just bolt it under the door and window," Ye Yaodong said and walked into the house to see if there were any leftover rice cookers or anything else.
Lin Xiuqing happened to come out of the house after breastfeeding her child. When she heard that he wanted to raise a dog, she said angrily: "Where is the other crispy rice? Your two sons like to eat crispy rice the most. You asked me to give it to them after dinner."
After shoveling the rice cakes, each person rolled them up and ran out, playing and eating at the same time."
