Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Zhao Dahai was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked. After he finished chiseling the last place, he stopped and took a few breaths. The work looked simple but it was really strenuous. One was because the wood of the ship board was hard, and the other had to be chiseled out the wood that was decayed or rotten. The hole must be dug as small as possible so that it can be repaired easily and have little impact on the fishing boats.

Zhao Shi carefully checked one by one. There was no problem and he was very satisfied. The work was done quickly and carefully. This was not easy. There was nothing frizzy about a twenty-year-old boy.

Zhao Shi sighed. The last person like this was Zhao Dahai's father. He could learn any job and did it well, but it was a pity that he left early.

Zhao Shi took out a ruler and began to measure the area where the ship's planks were knocked off. While measuring, he used a pencil to write and draw on a piece of paper.

Zhao Dahai looked carefully at the side. This matter is not simple. The fishing boats are curved, plus some corners. How many boards are needed and what kind of boards are needed? Which board is bigger and which board is smaller? Especially when repairing fishing boats now, it is not about building a new fishing boat. It is even more important to be precise. This saves trouble and money during installation. You will definitely have to deal with fishing boats in the future. Maybe one day you will need one. If you want to repair a fishing boat yourself, you must learn more if you have the opportunity. Fishermen who cannot repair fishing boats are not good fishermen.

Zhao Dahai waited for Zhao Shi to finish taking the measurements, and then asked what he didn't understand. After buying the board and repairing it, he almost understood everything.

It was almost noon after Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi had finished measuring and calculating the size of the boat planks they needed. Zhong Cuihua cooked a meal and simply filled her neck before riding her motorcycle to the town to buy the boat planks.

Hongqi Shipyard.

As Zhao Dahai walked in, he looked at the large and small fishing boats parked on both sides of the road. Some were made of iron and more of wood. They were extremely dilapidated. Some only had their keels left, and some only had some boards left. They were all crowded together. Together, it exudes a smell of sea and rust. These fishing boats once ran in the sea, catching countless fish and making a lot of money. Now they can only wait here to rot.

Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi walked all the way to the innermost part and saw a large work shed with the keel of a wooden fishing boat on a shelf. It looked like it was built to be 16 to 7 meters long.

"Old Zhou!"

"Old Zhou!"

Zhao Shi saw that there was no one and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What are you doing?"

"How could you, such an old man, come to my place?"

Zhao Dahai looked back and saw an old man who was about the same age as Zhao Shi. He was pushing a tricycle with many wooden boards in his hand. He walked over quickly, took over and pushed it into the work shed in twos and twos.

"Where did this boy come from?"

Zhou Fucheng wiped his sweat with a towel and wiped his hands. He glanced at Zhao Dahai and nodded. He took the initiative to help with the work without saying anything. This was good.

"Zhao Dahai."

"My elder brother's."

As Zhao Shi spoke, he walked around the fishing boat being built in the work shed and looked at it.

Zhou Fucheng was silent for a while and sighed. The town and village were not big, and some things were known to everyone. He and Zhao Shi had been friends for many years, so he knew the situation immediately when he heard about it.

Zhao Shi stretched out his hand and patted the keel of the fishing boat under construction. It was a good boat made of solid materials. He looked away and said that he would buy boat planks today.

Zhou Fucheng was stunned for a moment. Zhao Shi was the same age as himself. He couldn't do anything, certainly not go to sea. Also, he was here to buy boat planks and must be repairing fishing boats. He immediately thought of what was going on and couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhao Dahai. .

"Buy some boat planks, repair the boat left by my father and mother, and go fishing."

Zhao Dahai nodded, Zhou Fucheng knew about his family.

"That boat was built by you. You are very familiar with it. Hurry up and get me some good materials."

Zhao Shi held the paper with the size in his hand and put it on the table.

"These boards are not cheap. The total cost is 23,000 yuan, and the best one is estimated to be 25,000 yuan."

Zhou Fucheng picked up the paper to read it carefully and calculated it with the abacus for a while, then looked up at Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi.

"ah?"

"Is it so expensive at first sight?"

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, this was three to five thousand yuan higher than what he estimated.

"The main reason is that wood is expensive. The price has increased by nearly 30% compared with previous years."

"I remember that it was a boat that was 10.08 meters long and 2.48 meters wide. The several main boards on the bottom of the boat are durable only if they are connected to each other. The boards are not wide but cannot be supported long. More than half of the money was spent on this. Plus other Boards, the price immediately reached 20,000."

"Some other corner materials and so on, two or three thousand yuan is less."

Zhou Fucheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, flicked one and gave it to Zhao Shi. In recent years, there have been few people making wooden fishing boats. Instead of being cheap, they are more expensive. Wood is expensive and labor is expensive. It's really crazy.

"How can there be such a reason for the rise?"

"Cheaper!"

…

"Why!"

"When did I make more money?"

"At this price, there is only hard money left!"

"No matter how cheap it is, it's only two or three hundred yuan, so you can't wipe out two or three thousand yuan, right?"

…

Zhao Dahai felt a little headache when he heard Zhao Shi and Zhou Fucheng bargaining. He had earned 20,000 yuan and rushed over happily to buy wood to repair the ship. He didn't expect that the price would increase, and not even a little bit.

what to do?

Keep making some money?

Zhao Dahai looked out of the work shed while pondering, and what he saw were dilapidated fishing boats, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Boss Zhou."

"The price you mentioned is for newly opened wood?"

Zhao Dahai asked Zhou Fucheng.

Zhou Fucheng immediately said that this must be the price of new wood.

Zhao Dahai pointed to the old boats piled up outside, and asked if there were any materials for dismantling the ships. If so, he would not buy new wood, only the materials for dismantling the ships.

"You want to buy ship-breaking materials? How could it not be available? But, are you sure you want to buy such materials?"

Zhou Fucheng did not expect Zhao Dahai to come up with such an idea.

"Just buy ship-breaking materials."

Zhao Dahai made up his mind. Ship-breaking materials refer to the materials removed from old fishing boats. New wood is expensive, while used ship-breaking materials are cheap. It means the same as used car parts. I think it is suitable for me to repair the fishing boat and go to sea as soon as possible.

Zhou Fucheng didn't speak immediately and turned to look at Zhao Shi.

"The sea."

"Did you just think about it? Why don't you think of ways to make some money?"

Zhao Shi frowned, not wanting Zhao Dahai to buy ship scrapping materials.

"Second grandfather."

"We are repairing a fishing boat, and what we want is to save money and time. When we go out to sea to fish, our heads are tied to our belts. We don't have so many worries."

Zhao Dahai spoke directly. Ship-breaking material is the material that has been dismantled. Most of the fishing boats were abandoned after accidents. Zhao Shi felt that it was unlucky. He really didn't care about this matter. If you have money, just buy a new one or a bigger one. Isn’t it just that you want to repair it if you don’t have money? Where do so many ideas and attention come from?

Zhao Shi was silent for a while and nodded. What Zhao Dahai said made sense, but there really wasn't much to emphasize.
