"Forget it, my boat is pretty good, and now my neighbors are praising me for my ability." He grinned as he spoke.

"When the Dongzi boat comes back, he will be in great glory again. Everyone in the village is praising him, and he will not stop at least until the Chinese New Year."

Xiaoxiao also patted Ye's father enviously, "My uncle's face is so shiny that he feels windy when he walks. Every once in a while in the village, either Dongzi or Aguang is praised."

"The same goes for you, you are all successful, and your parents will be blessed when they grow old."

Azheng: "When the big ship is launched later, will Dongzi go out to shoot a net like the Harvest, calculate the time, and then come back to set off firecrackers?"

Father Ye: "Yes."

Azheng: "The two giants in Baisha Village!"

A Guang: "Pull him down. My family only has one big boat and two trawlers. They can't compare with Dongzi. He is the biggest tycoon in Baisha Village. His family sells both dried fish and fish sauce."

Ah Zheng: "That makes sense! Let him buy you a drink tonight."

Xiaoxiao: "I think you want him to invite you every day until the Chinese New Year and eat up all his chickens, ducks and geese."

Azheng: "No, Uncle Ye is here watching. How can I be embarrassed?"

Xiaoxiao: "You mean, it's fine as long as Uncle Ye is not here to watch."

Ah Zheng: "I didn't say that, that's what you said. I knew you were very greedy. You had such beautiful thoughts and wanted to eat until the Chinese New Year. I asked A Dong's wife to take a broom to drive you out at night.

"

"It's almost enough to catch you up..."

Father Ye chuckled and ignored the banter between them.

Today was a good day. Ever since he got up early in the morning, the corners of his mouth had not dropped, and his face was glowing red.

He has no great potential, but his son has achieved something. He is more happy that his son has achieved something than he himself has. Now who wouldn't praise him for having given birth to several good sons, and even finding a son-in-law who has achieved something.

A Guang: I'm at home every day, and my father does it for me. It's your in-laws' job.

Ye Yaodong is also looking forward to it, and his heart is filled with excitement. If he gets this boat, he can run further.

However, if I could ever buy a thirty-meter boat like the one I had when I was a boatman in my previous life, it would really be a great time.

It’s better to enjoy the moment first. It’s okay to be like this now. He is already the first person in the village, no, he is the first person in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages.

The tractor kept making a clicking sound all the way, and some scattered passers-by carrying burdens waved to them, hoping to catch a ride. He waved to them all, without taking any passengers.

It was just before eight o'clock when we arrived at the county shipyard.

As soon as his tractor stopped, Director Wu heard the noise and ran out.

"You are finally here. Fortunately, the time has not come yet."

"Let's go into the water between nine and eleven o'clock. It's still early. What's the rush?"

"Doesn't it mean I need to inspect the ship for you? Of course I have to arrive early to inspect the goods. Fortunately, you guys arrived not too late and it's not even eight o'clock yet, so there's still time. Come in and take a look first."

"Is your factory open all year round? There are a lot of people busy every time you come here, and it's the same when you come here late at night." Ye Yaodong asked as he walked beside him.

"We work three shifts. Of course, if there are overtime workers, there will also be subsidies. Moreover, now that the efficiency is good, we will definitely have to work overtime to catch up. The ship you ordered can be delivered in advance in about five or six months, and the rest will be delayed.

Take your time."

"What kind of ship is it?" Father Ye asked curiously.

Ye Yaodong ordered seven boats and made up the number of ten. He didn't tell his father about this, and his father didn't know about it. Only he and A Qing, as well as A Guang and his father knew about it.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. Now let's see if my Dongsheng is still where it is? That's the ship, right?"

He looked over with joy. The boat was twenty-four meters long and was painted with blue paint. The waterline at the bottom was painted with red paint. The two-story cabin above the ship was covered with white paint. It looked particularly refreshing and refreshing.

prestige.

The three characters "Dongsheng Hao" are painted on the hull of the ship. They are painted with white paint and the white characters on a blue background are particularly clear and eye-catching.

Today's fishing boats have not yet been numbered, some policies have not been promulgated, and laws are not perfect. The main reason is that there are few such large boats. The industry has only begun to develop vigorously, and ocean development has just begun. Everyone is a motley crew.

It will be a few years before the policy comes out and is numbered.

"Damn it, your boat is too handsome, isn't it?"

"Looking majestic..."

"Tsk tsk tsk...this boat is so beautiful..."

"The new boat is just different. It looks really new and beautiful. The bottom of our boat is covered with barnacles. It's so dense and scary."

"Stop bragging, isn't this boat exactly the same in appearance as the Harvest? It's just two meters smaller in size, not much different." Ye Yaodong said the unintentional words with a smile on his face, but he actually felt very good about it.

"The Harvest was already last year. We have only seen it once or twice from a distance since it was launched. Where can we see it so close?"

Aguang was speechless as he listened to their flattery. It was clear that a few months ago when fishing for jellyfish, they all went in and out together, and everyone was very close to each other.

Like the new and hate the old.

But such a big new ship is certainly worthy of praise.

Director Wu followed Ye Yaodong with the order in hand, "Have you checked the hull, hull, and cabin machines? Have you brought the order contract with you? Check the items on the order and measure the required quantities."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and took out the order that Ah Qing had prepared for him early in the morning.

As soon as I took it out, there were heads stretching out in front of me.

He tapped it with one finger at a time, "Can you understand? There are so many heads sticking out."

"I can't understand anything else, but I can understand the numbers."

"Go, go, help me check the hull. I'll climb on the boat and check to see if all the promised machines and equipment are in place."

Director Wu also climbed up with him and introduced him to the equipment and machines currently installed on the ship, checking them one by one.

Fishing equipment such as net winches, net reels, power pulleys, net hoisting booms and guide pulleys are also equipped with two engines, both mechanical and manual steering gears, steering wheel driving, 120 horsepower, load capacity of about 35 tons, fresh water

They looked at the water storage tanks and fish warehouses one by one.

This motor boat is still made of wood and iron, not steel yet. The steel one will probably have to wait until the 1990s.

It's just a trawler, it can only trawl, it can't be used as anything else.

If it is used concurrently, it will be equipped with more things. Different types require different equipment, and there are no such equipment in China now.

I also climbed up to the cabin on the second floor to take a look. There were also three bunk beds, but they were crowded and short. Only one person could pass through. And with his height, he couldn't stand up straight, so he could only hunch his body. His father was 160cm tall.

That's just right.

But it's good to have these. At least there is a place to lie down and rest, and you can sail on the sea for a few days.

Now I can only take a rough look at it. After all the necessary equipment is equipped and there is no problem, you can call someone over to help push it down together.

There was still something supporting it under the hull, and several sliding logs were placed there, waiting for him to finish the inspection before proceeding to the next step.

Ye Yaodong also followed Director Wu's explanation and checked one by one. All the equipment was complete and equipped as required, and they were all new.

“Right now I’m just going to briefly explain the equipment so that you have an idea. You can’t see the rest until the boat is put into the water and starts operating. You’ll know after you try out the net.”

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. It's okay. Everything is fine and there's no problem."

"As long as there are no problems, we also do things according to the order requirements. If there are no problems, then I will ask someone to come over and help."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was ten minutes to nine o'clock, so that was about the same.

"I'll go down and take a look at the hull."

"Okay, there's still some time until the time comes."

They were all groping around under the boat and muttering.

"This red paint doesn't feel very useful. My boat has only been sailing for half a year, and the bottom of the boat is already covered with dense barnacles."

“We can’t eliminate it, we can only reduce it.”

"It just so happened that I had an early break these two days. I asked my dad to shovel the barnacles underneath, otherwise he would still be mumbling that if I don't go to sea, I have to find some work for him. If there is something to do, I won't do it.

Stare at me."

"It makes sense. Our previous one has been running for a whole year, and we just need to shovel it up to save some fuel."

"It would be great if no matter how long it was driven, the bottom of the boat would be clean and it would be like a new boat."

"It's a great idea. If you scrape under the boat, you can also get some oysters for dinner."

"You don't even want to give it to me..."

Ye Yaodong took a photo from behind and said, "Have you checked it for me? If there is no problem, let's go into the water."

"No problem. What problems can there be with the new ship? It's great. Just recommend it."

"The dimensions were measured just now. It's 24 meters from the tip to the stern. I turned it around a lot and found nothing wrong with it. We are amateurs anyway. We'll know after we try it in the water."

"That's it, no problem, just push it into the water."

"Okay, I'll ask a few more people to come over and push it, and you guys can help me. I'll go to the shore later and set off some firecrackers for you."

"Okay, okay, thank you. If you go into the water, will you follow two masters?"
