What he said was true and not perfunctory.

I originally thought that if I seize the time to fish out this box, if it is not dark yet, I will go into the water to take a look and clean it to see if there is anything missing.

But at this moment, the boat followed the drift of the box and kept chasing it smoothly, and had long left the area where he launched it.

The reef underneath was not big at all, and it was not easy to hit the reef at that point on this vast sea. The two ships were really unlucky that day.

There are still many boxes floating on the sea, some far away and some close. Although everyone on the two boats is there to help salvage, it is not easy to catch even one box. It takes a lot of effort.

, to barely get one.

The floating speed is definitely faster than the speed at which they fish. The fishing boats are constantly chasing each other. Everyone's thoughts are on fishing for the box. Who wants to think about where the point where they just launched the water is.

If you want to wait for the salvage to be completed and go back to look for it again, you have to put in a lot of effort. Winter swimming is not so friendly.

What's more, these boxes on the sea probably won't be fished out until dark, and their two boats won't be able to see them until dark, and there will be no way to salvage them.

They certainly couldn't just stay where they were and wait until the next day to find the reef.

The original plan was to wait for nightfall and arrive in the city before early morning. There was still a pile of goods on the boat waiting for them to be sold ashore.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Yaodong also gave up on the second search and launching the fishing boat to be cleaned.

The only thing that can load cargo without sinking directly is the cabin. There is probably nothing else in the other positions, and the machine cannot be lifted away.

The engine of the big ship is not a propeller, but an assembly connected to the gearbox and propeller. It cannot be dismantled by one person underwater, and even a person cannot move easily underwater.

So he didn't go for the engine from the beginning, he didn't pay attention to it at all. What he was thinking about from beginning to end was the cargo in the cabin.

Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. If there is anything else valuable in the boat, just keep it for the sea.

The two boats, one behind the other, followed the current to retrieve the boxes. As the water flowed, the distance between the boxes washed away became wider and wider.

Before they could catch many fish, they were already scattered. The people in the boat could only work together to catch the fish one by one, and then chase the next one. It was not possible for everyone to do it at the same time like at the beginning.

Efficiency is greatly reduced.

But you definitely have to keep chasing, as this will bring you profits much faster than trawling.

The subsidy for missing work during the day can be covered by just one box.

"It's getting dark soon, and there are still a lot of them on the sea."

Ye Yaodong responded, "It doesn't matter. You can catch as many as you can. When it gets dark, put on your flashlight and go along the current to see if you can catch a few more."

"They are becoming more and more scattered. After dark, the light is poor, so it may not take long to track them down and they will be difficult to find."

"Now I can only chase them one by one. It will take a while to get one."

There were so many people on the boat that he didn't need his help for a while. He just stood there and watched. He also counted the boxes and found that 22 boxes had been fished out. As time went by, it took more time to fish out one box. He continued.

If you fish them out, you should only be able to catch thirty or forty, but they will be hard to find.

He looked again and saw that the Harvest was running extra hard in front of him. He didn't know how many people they had caught on board.

Others also asked for the exit.

"I don't know how many they caught. They should return them, right?"

"You should pay it back, right? This is all caused by Adong going into the water, and they are all from the in-laws."

"It's hard to say. Things at sea... they also worked hard to salvage..."

"It's hard to say. If I were thick-skinned, I might not pay it back."

"Let's not worry about it. They will discuss it themselves. They are sons and daughters..."

"Children and in-laws must explain things clearly when dealing with money and goods. Otherwise, there will be too many people who will never interact with each other until death."

"Then we must talk about it and discuss it..."

Ye Yaodong listened to everyone's discussion and walked towards the cockpit.

This is indeed a big problem. When he first saw that the Harvest was also salvaging, he thought that it was impossible to stop them from salvaging.

He himself couldn't hold all the boxes in his arms. If the two boats moved at the same time, he could pick up more boxes, so as not to return them to the sea.

They also contributed.

"father……"

"It's getting dark. How many have been caught? Every box I saw is quite far away. Now I can only chase them one by one."

"You can still see it now, and it's good to be able to chase them one by one. When it gets dark later, it will take longer and more effort to catch one, and you probably won't be able to catch a few after dark, because they are all floating.

It’s very far away, and there’s no direction to pursue it.”

"Well, let's see later, how many are there?"

"It's already 23. I just caught another one. Harvest should also have caught a lot."

Father Ye also thought about the distribution issue with understanding and glanced at him, "What are you going to do?"

"After the salvage is completed, I will talk to Uncle Pei. I originally went into the water and released this from the cabin. Otherwise, how could he have salvaged it?"

"Then you have to think about a charter in advance. You have to get all the goods back and leave nothing to him. This is impossible. I have also contributed. I can only discuss the charter if I think about it in advance."

"That's why I came up to ask you what you think, this is your in-laws."

"They are my in-laws. How can I be my in-laws? I should give him 1/3? What do you think?"

"1/4, right? The key is up to me. It's a lot to leave him 1/4 as a reward. And what I think is, it doesn't have to go to the public. This is not a normal trawl income, it is an unexpected gain.

, there’s no need to include it in the public calculation?”

Father Ye was still frowning at first, thinking that 1/4 was too little? But when he heard that he said it would not be included in the public calculation, he became a little confused.

"There aren't many people to share it with, so just giving him 1/4 is fine. But when everyone talks about it when we go back, your second brother and Lao Zheng..."

"What's this? Just say that I dived into the water to salvage the cargo of the sunken ship, so I asked Uncle Pei to help me salvage it from the sea. Those cargoes should actually be mine. He just helped, and then I gave

Isn't it normal for Uncle Pei to receive a little personal remuneration? What does this have to do with the public?"

Father Ye thought for a while and could barely accept this statement, "If that's the case, it's reasonable to give 1/4. It's just a favor. When you went into the water at the beginning, I also told you where you were looking for it.

The ship sank, hoping to make a windfall. Those boxes that floated up were obviously brought up from the sea by you, and they were already marked with your label."

"Yes, when we give a red envelope to the boatmen on our ship later, we will also give the same red envelope to the boatmen on the Harvest. This will confirm that they are helping us salvage, and we also want to thank them."

"Yes, that's right, the workers next door are not our workers. Since they have helped out, they must also be paid."

"So, when it gets dark later and it's hard to find, let's let the two boats come together and discuss it with Uncle Pei. It's better to talk face to face. Let's follow the current regulations and see what he says.

?”

"I think it's okay. The main reason is to give him personal reward. It's just for helping with the salvage. I can share 1/4 as reward."

Ye Yaodong nodded. Since his father also agreed, it would be easy to say.

It is easier to talk about important matters like this in person, and you can immediately detect subtle changes in people's reactions. There is no need for people to hesitate.

Speak face to face and solve the problem face to face to avoid leaving any knots.

"Then you go down and open the box first to see what's inside, so you can know what's inside."

"OK."

He hurried back to the deck to find tools to open the box.

The boatmen all leaned against the side of the ship and looked at the sea, watching a man holding a hooked bamboo pole and hooking a box floating on the side, so they were talking there.

"It's hooked, it's hooked..."

"Pull it over slowly, little by little..."

"A Dong is going to open the box?"

Seeing his actions, the idle people immediately ran over to take a look, leaving only two people there to help.

"I don't know what's inside?"

"Canned fish, that's the one we've been eating for the past two days. After eating it for a long time, I think it's quite good for rice. The deep-fried stuff is so fragrant. You can even chew the fish bones. Chew and swallow."

"It should be. The boxes all look the same. Didn't A Dong say that the canned fish is quite valuable? You can make a lot of money by selling it."

"Let's see what it is first. Maybe it's canned fish?"

"Would you like to make a bet? One dollar?"

"I don't want it."

"Tch, this means that you also think it's canned fish, so you don't dare to bet."

…

While the boatmen were talking and laughing, Ye Yaodong opened the box bit by bit, and the exposed tip of the iceberg directly proved that it was really canned fish.

The cargo inside the cabin was the same as the cargo on the deck. It was just that the cargo could not be piled up completely in the cabin. They probably wanted to transport more cargo in one trip, so they piled it all on the deck. Anyway, this kind of iron can packaging is not afraid of sea water tides at all.

Lose.

Everyone understood it clearly.

"Just say it's canned fish."
