The closer we walked to my eldest brother's house, the stronger the smell became. Damn it, someone was picking up feces on the road so early in the morning?

Zhao Qin couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose as he thought about it. When he arrived at his eldest brother's house, he saw his brother and sister-in-law looking in the direction of Lin's house with unkind expressions on their faces, "What's wrong?"

"There is no good person in the two families. They lack great virtue." The person who replied was not the brother and sister-in-law, but the neighbor next door.

Zhao Qin was even more confused when he heard it, and Xia Rong added another explanation: "In the early morning, the office called and the punishment results were announced, saying that the family members were required to pay the fine.

First, the two families quarreled for a while, then the deadbeat wife sat at the door and howled in mourning, and finally the two families threw shit at each other. "

Damn it, physical attacks won't work, so we'll use chemical weapons instead.

"how much is it?"

"I heard that one person was fined 500 yuan, and considering Lai Lai's leg, it is estimated that the three families will have to pay an average of [-] to [-] yuan."

When Laibao's wife was crying in mourning early in the morning, someone had already asked about her, and Xia Rong even settled the accounts of the three families in his mind.

"Ignore them, have you made breakfast?"

"I did it, but the smell is too strong. I don't have any appetite." Zhao Ping was a little depressed. The wind was not right today, which happened to put his home at a disadvantage.

Zhao Qin let go of the hand covering his nose, thinking that he would just get used to it, but he couldn't bear the moment he let go.

"Brother and sister-in-law, leave it alone. We can't cook at the old house today. Has Ayuan eaten?"

"No, uncle, the smell is too overwhelming."

"Let's go to the pier to eat noodles. Brother and sister-in-law, let's go together."

If it were before, Xia Rong would definitely say not to spend this wasted money, but now it seems that a bowl of noodles for more than two yuan is nothing, and the smell at the door is really bad.

After hugging Miaomiao, the family of four followed Zhao Qin to the dock.

"Hey, let's form a group to have breakfast." Lao Zhu found it quite interesting when he saw everyone walking towards the ramen stall. He originally thought that Zhao Qin would not come to eat noodles when he went to his eldest brother's house to join the gang.

Good guy, I don’t come alone anymore, I come with a whole family.

"They're all just like you. If you make a penny, you want to stuff it in your butt ditch and keep it for burial in the coffin. Lao Zhu, you have to spend money to make money. If you don't spend it, it will depreciate."

Lao Zhu was not angry, and he said happily: "When you get married and have children, come and say such harsh words to me again."

After eating, he returned home. Although the two houses were cleaning up, the smell was still there. Ahe was holding his nose and waiting for him at the door.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you take Miaomiao and Ayuan to the old house to spend a day? We are not at home anyway."

Xia Rong nodded, it was really hard to be here. She opened the refrigerator and packed a few dishes. Zhao Ping had already picked up his little daughter.

Zhao Qin gave the key to his eldest brother. He did not follow him. When his eldest brother came back, he said, "Let's go. Let's go to the shipyard in the county first?"

"Go to the county first and then the city. Buying a boat is a big deal and you have to shop around."

Zhao Ping said, and got on the tricycle. Zhao Qin and Ah He got on the back of the tricycle. Fortunately, there is no ban on motorcycles in the current counties and cities. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to go to the shipyard. If you take a bus to the county or city, there is still a short distance to the shipyard. A very long way.

The three of them lamented that they had a bad start, because as soon as they passed the town, it started to rain, and the three of them were completely drenched.

They arrived at the shipyard in the county at around ten o'clock. When they heard that they were going to order a ship, someone took them on a tour, including unloading materials, processing of hull components, and the welding and outfitting workshops.

"Manager Luo, we need a 12-meter fishing boat. What price do you think it will cost?"

After Zhao Qin asked, Manager Luo spread his hands and said: "Your restriction is too broad and I can't quote you. What materials are needed for a trawler, a net boat, a fishing or gillnet boat, and how many engines are needed?

If these are not finalized, I have no way of quoting. "

Zhao Qin glanced at his elder brother and motioned for him to take action.

"Manager Luo, aluminum alloy, 35 meters, [-] horsepower, the boat can be used for both longline fishing and trawling. Can you give me a quote?"

There are many materials for the hull, including steel, aluminum and gold, and fiberglass. Generally speaking, the price of marine aluminum and gold is about the same as that of fiberglass.

FRP has better corrosion resistance, but in terms of maintenance and roughness resistance, it is definitely not as good as aluminum and gold, so in the long run, Zhao Ping chose aluminum and gold materials.

"Your longline and trawl are not a set of equipment at all. It is difficult to install them on a [-]-meter ship..."

"Manager Luo, small boats only work on the beach, and there are no big fish in longline fishing, so we can use purely manual ones."

After hearing what Zhao Ping said, Manager Luo nodded slightly, "That's no problem. My equipment is only for trawlers. Come to the office with me and I'll have someone calculate the cost."

I came to the office and had a cup of tea. The so-called accounting was just for show. Quotations for fishing boats like this in the factory must be ready. I mainly looked at whether there has been any price increase of materials recently.

After a while, Manager Luo came in and told the three of them that they wanted 14.

"Are there any ships available?"

Relative to price, Zhao Qin is more concerned about delivery date.

"No, there is still a queue to order now. We can promise a delivery time of [-] days."

Zhao Qin frowned slightly, and then started to talk about the price. Zhao Qin described the three of them as very cowardly. He and his eldest brother had not had their father to take care of them since they were young, and there was only an old lady in Ahe's family.

When it came to the emotional part, his voice was choked up, so Lao Luo was willing to drop 2000 yuan and get a trawl net as a bonus.

“Want to order now?”

Zhao Qin hesitated for a moment and said: "Manager Luo, we need to go to the city to borrow money first. My uncle is in the city. He had promised to lend us most of the boat when we bought it, but now he doesn't even have enough money on hand to pay the deposit."

"Okay, I'll guarantee this price for you until tomorrow night at most. After tomorrow, we can renegotiate the price then."

After saying thank you, the three of them went out and hurried to the city's shipyard. It was much larger than the shipyard in the county, and there were two large ships under construction at the same time.

However, the manager's attitude was even more arrogant than Manager Luo. When he heard that they wanted to order a [-]-meter boat, he asked his subordinates to take care of them.

There are existing ships. The same configuration here costs RMB 15, and the price is non-refundable. The only good thing is that there are existing ships.

After leaving the shipyard, it was already past two o'clock. The three of them bought a few steamed buns and ate them while discussing.

"Brother, what do you mean?" After all, it is a three-person partnership to buy a boat. Although Zhao Qin takes the majority, everyone's opinions must be listened to.

"Aqin, what I mean is to book it in the county. Although it is three months late, it can save more than [-] yuan. The free network is not cheap, and it will cost more than [-] yuan."

Zhao Qin looked at Ahe again, who waved his hand and said, "Brother, I listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. That's what my grandma told me before I came here."

"Okay, then just listen to big brother and go back to the county now?"

"Let's go, finish running in one day, otherwise you have to run again tomorrow, troublesome."

The couple stuffed the buns into their stomachs, and the three of them rushed to the county shipyard without stopping. They immediately signed the contract and paid a deposit of [-] yuan.

Zhao Qin did not let him go back, but found a bank to withdraw money.

Without an appointment, he could only withdraw [-] yuan. Fortunately, he still had tens of thousands of yuan in cash at home that he had not saved. He originally planned to use it to buy land, but he would just use it now.

After withdrawing the money, everyone returned to the town again. Zhao Qin first took 1 yuan and went to Chen's house.

It happened that Chen's father was here, so he only asked him to put down 1 yuan. After some pulling and pulling, Chen's father took on the elders' attitude and started scolding Zhao Qin. Only then did Zhao Qin become honest and obedient.

He pulled Chen Dong aside again and chatted for a while.
