Golden Fishing Village

The huge fishing boat sailed on the sea, riding the wind and waves, with unstoppable momentum.

Ao Muyang stood at the bow, feeling a little timid.

Selling lobsters, selling various fish, and the money he saved from working in Kyoto, he only had less than four million in total. He had to thank Lu Zhizi for helping him sell the gloomy wood desk and earning one million.

After buying this boat, the remaining money on him was only enough to fill up the diesel and go out to sea twice.

In the end, he decided to buy the boat, because it was really a good boat that fishermen could not refuse. Its quality and low price were so exaggerated that he still couldn't believe it.

He checked it, and the instruments and equipment on the boat were the same as new. Even more than half of the cabins in the crew cabin had not been used yet, and the plastic film on them was brand new.

Yan Qingcheng suggested that he take out a loan to buy a boat, but Ao Muyang was not used to taking out a loan. He had a very traditional small peasant consciousness in his heart. He still hoped to buy big things like houses and cars and boats completely.

In his opinion, only this can be considered as his own. Buying with a loan is almost the same as renting, and it cannot be regarded as his own thing.

Although he felt guilty about his empty pockets, he felt confident again with such a big boat in his hands.

Fishermen have boats, so what is there to be afraid of?

In addition, buying such a boat is also an explanation to his parents in his heart. His parents have been busy for half their lives, and they only bought a small boat of more than ten meters, and then disappeared in the ocean after encountering a storm.

He knew that his parents would rather have such a real big fishing boat. If his parents had driven this boat to sea, they might have had a chance to fight against the storm.

The fishing boat returned to Longtou Village Wharf and almost hit the bottom. The village wharf is not a good port like the blue boatman.

The driver was arranged by Yan Qingcheng. Ao Muyang had a sea boatman certificate, but no ship driving license, so he could only drive a small yacht and could not be checked.

He was not qualified to drive such a big ship, nor did he have the ability to drive it.

Yan Qingcheng was very kind to him and promised that the driver who was seconded from the shipyard could help him drive the boat until he hired a driver.

However, Ao Muyang declined her kindness. Ao Daguo had a third-class certificate of competency for ship driving, which allowed him to drive ships under 500 tons, but this ship was under 500 tons.

The brand-new big fishing boat approached the dock, and the villagers on the dock looked curiously.

Someone saw Ao Muyang at the bow and shouted loudly: "Brother Xiaoyang, whose boat is this?"

When the boat approached the dock, Ao Muyang heard his words and smiled: "Mine."

His tone was as low-key and steady as possible, but he still couldn't hide the pride hidden in it.

Most of the people on the dock were stunned, and only Ao Qianlai, who was slow to think, said: "Oh, Yangzi, you bought a boat? This boat is really majestic, there is no such big boat in the village!"

The largest boat in the village is Ao Zhiyi's Dragon Head, but compared with this boat, Dragon Head is several times smaller and looks like a rag.

Others reacted and immediately asked:

"Your boat? Brother Yang, is it true? You bought a boat? A boat like this? How much is it!"

"Wow, Brother Yang, don't tease us, this boat must be worth millions or tens of millions?"

"Brother Yang, did you win the lottery? Or did you catch a school of tuna or a big yellow croaker? How much does it cost to buy this boat!"

Ao Muyang smiled vaguely: "It's a second-hand boat, not worth much."

He put down the boat ladder, and the villagers immediately swarmed up, so enthusiastic.

Ao Muyang took the driver and the engine operator ashore. He opened a room for them in Ao Mufeng's farmhouse and invited them to dinner in the evening to express his gratitude.

The news that he bought a new boat spread like a whirlwind in the village. Soon, everyone in the village knew that he bought a 40-meter-long fishing boat.

For fishermen, this is more impressive than buying a house in the city. From then on, until the evening, people came to Ao Muyang's house to ask questions.

The most surprised person was Ao Zhiyi. When he returned from the sea, there was no place for his boat, so he got angry at the new boat and asked the villagers to notify the owner of the boat to move away.

He thought it was a fishing boat from another place temporarily docked at the village dock.

Then, someone told him that the boat was newly bought by Ao Muyang. He asked three times in a row, and finally stayed on the boat and stared at the new boat in a daze, as if he had become a statue.

Having a boat does not mean that you can go to sea. Such a large fishing boat cannot be handled by three or two people. It must be equipped with personnel such as the captain, the first mate, the second mate, and the chief engineer.

In addition, fishing boats must be affiliated with fishery companies or shipping companies to go to sea. This aspect is simple. Blue boatmen can provide affiliation services.

After buying the boat, Ao Muyang became busy. He also had to register various information for the fishing boat, such as the registered ship number, ship name, etc.

He had already prepared the name of the boat. As a villager of Longtou Village, the most suitable name for the fishing boat in the village is Longtou, but this name has been used by Ao Zhiyi.

So, Ao Muyang added a word and named the boat: Big Longtou...

It is said that after learning the name of his boat, Ao Zhiyi smashed the teapot in his hand, and then glued it back together with super glue.

From early November to mid-November, Ao Muyang finally completed the procedures for Big Longtou, so he can officially go out to sea.

But good things come hard. The weather started to be gloomy in mid-November. The weather forecast said that the first heavy rain in autumn was coming, and it was very likely to be a rainstorm.

In this way, Ao Muyang naturally did not dare to go to sea. Although his ship was large, the tonnage was not large, and it was still very dangerous to encounter a storm at sea.

But it's okay. He can't go to sea when there's a heavy rainstorm. He can do other things to seek harvest.

There was an old man in the village who was good at weaving bamboo baskets. After reading the weather forecast, Ao Muyang went to an old house at the back of the village.

The owner of this old house is Ao Zhiman. Two of the three children are particularly unfilial. The only filial son and his wife had an accident at sea, leaving him with only one grandson to depend on.

Ao Muyang walked to the village and saw a young man about the same age as Ao Xiaoniu polishing something at the door, so he asked: "Ao Jinfu, Fu Zai, is your grandpa at home?"

The young man looked up at him, put away the grinding tools in his hands and ran back to the old yard.

Ao Muyang had no choice but to knock on the door. Ao Zhiman's house was different from the houses of other families in the village. His house was built around a yard with a circle of wing rooms. The yard was very small, the space was cramped, and the lighting was poor.

Hearing the knock on the door, a hunched old man came out holding a yellow stone and looked at it. Ao Muyang said: "Fourth Grandpa, I am Yangzi, do you still make gourd and fish baskets now?"

The old man smiled and waved: "Yangzi, come in. What do you ask? Gourd and fish basket? I'm here to make it. I can make it if I ask."

Ao Muyang nodded: "That's it, what's the price now? Help me organize two groups. When it rains heavily, I'll go to the lake to get some autumn fish."

The old man waved his hand and said, "What's the price? Don't you need money to help my old man repair the house?"

Ao Muyang said: "This is different. Fourth Grandpa, you have agreed to give you some capital and strength."

The old man was very stubborn: "No, you helped me repair the house without asking for money. How much will it cost if I make a few baskets? I'll ask Fuwa to deliver them to you tomorrow."

Ao Muyang tried to persuade him, but the old man disagreed, so he had to leave first.
