Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

This time they went out to sea at daybreak, and their boat was the only one moving in the entire dock. The wind and waves were quite strong at the moment, so small boats did not dare to go out to sea.

Zhao Qin was sitting at the bow enjoying the breeze when Lao Tong came over and said, "Boss..."

"Brother Tong, you can just call me Aqin on the boat."

"Ah Qin, Ah Mao asked me to ask, where are we going this time?" Although he changed his address, Lao Tong was still cautious.

To him, all this was just like a dream. He originally thought that he had sunk someone else's ship and would never have the chance to work on a ship again in his lifetime.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quietly. One afternoon, Lao Mao found him at the city construction site and asked, "Brother Tong, are you still willing to take the helm?"

He didn't even ask about the salary and benefits, but just agreed.

He was still confused after going out to sea. When he felt the rudder again, he actually had a shadow.

It was Lao Mao who comforted him, saying that their ship was equipped with sonar equipment, so he didn't need to worry too much and just need to pay attention to the prompts on the instrument.

After the trip, we had a great harvest. After docking, everyone was busy unloading and weighing the cargo.

He originally intended to ask about the treatment, but seeing that the old cat was exhausted, he had to shut up again. He thought that he would not be able to go out to sea for the next few days anyway, so he took some time to go to the old cat's house to ask.

What he didn't expect was that Lao Mao called him the next day and asked him to go to the bank to check the account.

I did provide an account number before, but I didn't think much about it. I just thought it was used to pay salaries. How come there is money deposited into the account after just one trip out to sea?

But thinking that the old cat would not tease him, he took the note to the bank. When he checked, he found that there was an extra 7000 yuan in his account, which made him a little confused.

When he came out of the bank, he called Lao Mao and asked if he had made a mistake.

As a result, he learned from Lao Mao the salary and dividends of each boatman. After returning home, he told his wife about it. As a result, his wife laughed and cried at the same time.

He even took the initiative to buy food and dinner that night, and he actually got himself drunk.

The next day, he took the native chicken prepared by his wife, bought some cigarettes and alcohol in the town, and went to Lao Mao's house. As a result, Lao Mao caught him and scolded him.

The items were accepted, but people paid for them according to the market price, so they couldn't refuse them.

Thinking about the high dividend, he was full of energy, but the weather was not good and he couldn't go out to sea for a long time, which made him very anxious.

Although he had become familiar with everyone else after his trip to the sea, it was his first time working with Zhao Qin, so he was somewhat nervous.

Zhao Qin hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Tongzi's direction before replying, "Tell Brother Mao to drive northeast. The weather is good for a long time this time, so we can drive a little further and go directly to the Yellow Sea boundary."

"it is good."

Seeing Lao Tong turning around to leave, Zhao Qin smiled and called him over, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "Brother Tong, we are brothers now that we are on board, don't be shy.

I am young and have not been out to sea many times, so I still have to rely on you and Brother Mao in many aspects."

"It should be, don't worry."

Some knots in one's heart cannot be untied with just a few words. It doesn't matter. After following him for a long time, I think he will be able to let it go.

At this moment, a cloud blocked the sun, and the bow suddenly felt a little cold in the wind. Winter was almost here. Zhao Qin stood up and went to the deck at the back.

Everyone followed the routine and was busy with their own things. When he walked over to Lai Bao who was checking and cleaning up the debris on the Internet, he smiled and said, "Brother Bao, you have to buy me a drink."

Lai Bao blushed slightly and smiled, "Of course you will. Qin, please forgive me. It's not possible for the time being. I can't make it public."

The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is still quite serious in the local area. Lai Bao has two daughters in his family. His wife had already had an IUD, but she followed the ship during this period.

With a lot of money, the couple had other ideas. They found a private hospital and asked someone to secretly remove the IUD.

A few days ago, Zhao Qin heard Xia Rong mention that Lai Bao's wife was pregnant again. Wow, Brother Bao is also a sharpshooter and never misses a shot.

"When our nephew is born, I will have to eat well."

When he heard him say the word "nephew", Lai Bao's mouth stretched to his ears, "Okay, there will be good things then."

Then he came to Achen and asked, "When is your date?"

Ah Chen also blushed, "My sister discussed with the other party and said it will be in the second half of next year."

Patting him on the shoulder, Zhao Qin sighed, "Achen, you've been following me for almost two years, right?"

"Two years and one month."

"Time flies. Has the house in the city been renovated?"

"Not yet, but the new house at home has been completed. Anyway, we won't be living in the city in the future, so there is no rush over there."

Zhao Qin went to Asi and chatted with him for a while. This guy was going to get married at the end of the year.

After going around, he chatted with everyone. Ah He didn't come with him this time. Ping Ping's due date was in the next few days. This boy looked out of tune.

But this period was extremely stressful, and it was he who suggested not to go out to sea with them this time.

When they arrived at the wheelhouse, Lao Mao and Lao Tong were chatting animatedly. When Lao Mao saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Aqin, the wind and waves seem to have subsided."

"Good thing, it will probably stop completely by noon."

"Aqin, take a seat." The wheelhouse is not very spacious. Besides the helmsman's seat, there is only one seat next to it. Lao Tong quickly stood up and

Zhao Qin reached out and pressed his shoulder. "Brother Tong, let's not be polite. I just got up and walked around after sitting for a long time. Brother Mao, how deep is the water now?"

"We've only been out for less than two hours, and now the water is only over thirty meters deep. But if we go northeast, the water level can't be that deep."

The Yellow Sea is much shallower than the South China Sea. The South China Sea has an average depth of more than 1,000 meters, with the deepest reaching more than 5,000 meters, while the Yellow Sea has an average depth of only more than 40 meters, with the deepest not exceeding 200 meters.

It’s not even a fraction of the South China Sea.

"Then let's put down the net later and talk about it after dinner." After saying that, he didn't stay in the wheelhouse for long.

With Lao Tong joining, his opportunities to take the helm may become fewer and fewer.

After leaving the wheelhouse, he sat down at the bow again and suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little redundant on the boat.

Then I laughed and thought, isn't this better?

The sea area they are in actually belongs to the Yellow Sea, but they usually do not call it that. They often still call the southern part of the strait the South China Sea, and only call it the Yellow Sea after crossing the strait.

It was soon noon and Achen and Lin Laoer had already prepared the meal.

Because we hadn't fished yet, there was no fresh seafood to eat, so at noon we had boiled vegetables and braised meat, one pot per person, as usual.

Just after we finished eating, before everyone had washed the basins, the old cat's voice came from the loudspeaker, "Let go of the net, it's time to cast the net."

Dropping the things in their hands, Lin Lao Er and Asi ran to the stern of the boat and threw the net bag into the water first, "Good luck in lowering the net."

"Good luck in casting the net." Everyone shouted, and then they just had to follow the current and make sure the net entered the water smoothly.

After the net is put out, everyone goes back to their own business. The good thing about trawling is that you don't have to operate it all the time.

"Take a nap quickly." Zhao Qin said to everyone. On the boat, one must learn to take a break from the busy schedule.

After giving some instructions, Zhao Qin also went to the bow of the boat to rest.

When he woke up, he came to the steering cabin. The one at the helm was Lao Tong. "Brother Tong, where are we?"

"We are in the strait all the way. Don't worry. We are more than ten nautical miles away from the center line."
