Starting to go to the sea: I really didn’t want to be a sea king

After signing the lease contract, Chu Yang paid the first month's rent of 15,500 yuan.

"Mr. Chu, congratulations on your prosperity!"

Manager Huang shook hands with Chu Yang with a smile.

"Good luck to you."

Chu Yang was in a good mood.

A week later, he would be able to drive the boat.

"Mr. Chu, you have rented a boat, so you must go out to sea as soon as possible. The most urgent thing is to find a crew during the maintenance period."

After sending the three people out, Manager Huang reminded them again.

He naturally hoped that Chu Yang could make money, so that he could earn a commission whether he continued to rent a boat or bought a boat.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Since Chu Yang had made up his mind to rent a boat, he must have considered it in advance.

Generally speaking, the best staffing for a 16-meter trawler is between 4 and 6.

A captain is required, and 2 to 3 sailors are recruited depending on the situation.

Sun Qingjun has a third-level captain's certificate and can drive a fishing boat under 24 meters. The two have also agreed that he can help Chu Yang drive the boat.

The rest is to recruit sailors.

This is also simple. Quancheng has been an important fishing town since ancient times. It was also China's marine trade center during the Song and Yuan dynasties. There are countless people who make a living by the sea.

As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not a problem to recruit hundreds of experienced sailors a day.

However, compared to experience, Chu Yang pays more attention to character.

After all, he has a cheat. In the future, one trip to the sea may be a fortune that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime. If you meet someone with a crooked mind, it will be dangerous.

Like Sun Qingjun, Chu Yang was relieved to hire him after several contacts.

"Uncle Qingjun, do you know any sailors? They must be of good character."

Chu Yang finally decided to ask Sun Qingjun.

"It's not easy to find sailors. Just go around the village and you'll find old fishermen who charge at least 80, if not 100. I'll ask for you when we get back."

"Okay!"

After leaving the industrial park, Zhang Hongtao sent Chu Yang back to the port on his motorcycle.

Chu Yang looked at the time. It was already 11:30.

"Brother Zhang, don't leave. Let's have lunch together at noon," he invited.

Zhang Hongtao was not shy. He smiled and said, "Okay. You've done something big today. It's time to celebrate."

The three of them found a restaurant called 'Seaport Fishing Village' nearby.

The hotel is of high quality. It has two floors and covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. It is considered luxurious in the current port.

When the menu was brought up, its nobility was even more prominent.

Boiled prawns: 99.

Steamed eggs with sea urchin: 68.

Steamed grouper: 398.

Loofah and razor clam soup: 88.

Chu Yang casually ordered three dishes and a soup, which cost 600 to 700 yuan, equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary worker.

"Enough, enough~" Sun Qingjun hurriedly stopped.

In fact, according to his idea, it would be great to order a barbecue for 100 to 200 yuan at the food stall next door.

Eating in such a restaurant is like asking for a rip-off.

Even Zhang Hongtao looked at Chu Yang with a new eye.

He had seen rich people, some of whom spent tens of thousands of yuan on a meal.

But Chu Yang didn't look like that, and he had just said at the shipyard that his total assets were only about 100,000 yuan, and he had to pay for the ship rent, hire sailors, and replenish the supplies on the ship.

How could he spend money more generously than those big bosses he had seen?

"Okay, I won't order any more dishes. Waiter, bring me two more bottles of 53-proof Kinmen Kaoliang."

Chu Yang asked for two more bottles of wine, and then he gave up.

Soon, the wine and food were served.

The three of them had been running all morning and were hungry, so they worked together to cook.

It must be said that the chefs in this restaurant were very skilled. The prawns were sweet and fresh, the eggs were tender, the grouper was fragrant, and the clam soup was thick. It was worth the money.

After eating until they were about 50% full, they toasted each other.

"Brother, come on, let's toast. I wish you a smooth sailing and a lot of money!"

Although Zhang Hongtao was not well educated, he was a community leader and spoke very nicely.

"I'll borrow your good words."

Chu Yang drank with him.

"Tsk~ah!"

After drinking two taels of wine, Chu Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Cool!

Although Kinmen Kaoliang is called Kinmen Kaoliang, it is not produced in Kinmen Island, but from Taiwan. The taste is different from traditional mainland liquor and does not belong to the twelve flavor types.

The taste is close to the light fragrance type, similar to Fenjiu, but the taste of dregs is stronger.

This kind of wine tastes good, and it won't make you feel nauseous if you drink too much. The price ranges from a dozen to several hundred, and it is very popular in southern Fujian.

After drinking for a while, Zhang Hongtao said with a red face:

"Brother, let me say something, you are very generous with your money. You will have to eat steamed buns for a few days to eat this meal."Is it the end of the world?"

Chu Yang knew that he was embarrassed to directly say that he was a spendthrift, but he also meant well, so he smiled and said:

"What's the big deal? It's just a trip to the beach."

"Stop bragging, fishing is so profitable?" Zhang Hongtao said with a breath of alcohol.

Chu Yang was a little drunk at this time, and smiled and said: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, ask Uncle Qingjun, he knows it best."

Zhang Hongtao looked at Sun Qingjun, who nodded.

"The last time Ah Yang went to the sea, he pried 200 kilograms of dog claw snails in a few hours and sold them for more than 20,000 yuan."

"Ah?"

Zhang Hongtao opened his mouth into a big 'O'.

A few hours, more than 20,000 yuan?

He worked hard for half a year and it was difficult to earn 20,000 yuan!

"Last time he went out to sea with me, he caught a grouper and sold it for 68,000 yuan. "Sun Qingjun added that it was not exciting enough.

Zhang Hongtao's mouth was almost cracked, and he forgot to pour the wine in his hand.

He felt his throat was a little dry and swallowed his saliva.

"These two days, I heard a lot of people say that a guy got lucky and caught a live grouper. Is that you?"

Chu Yang smiled but didn't say anything. He took a sip of wine by himself, and he had reached the highest level of pretending.

"Oh my god, what you said made me want to be a fisherman." Zhang Hongtao panted, obviously very excited.

I made nearly 100,000 yuan in two trips. This is not making money, but picking up money on the beach.

Compared with him, what's the point of the three melons and two dates I made from driving a motorcycle in a month.

"Okay, you think about it. If you really want to do it, you can count on me when the boat is maintained next week. "

Chu Yang had intended to recruit him, otherwise he wouldn't have done this.

He had a limited time in this world and didn't know many people. Although he asked Sun Qingjun to recruit crew members, he also had to build his own team.

"Really?"

Zhang Hongtao originally thought Chu Yang was joking, but seeing his serious expression, he couldn't help but be moved.

But he was a little worried, afraid that Chu Yang was bragging, and he would lose his time and money.

Sun Qingjun opened his mouth and wanted to say something but didn't.

Forget it, Chu Yang is the ship owner anyway, let him do it.

Besides, the fishermen can't say that the technical content is too high. The old fishermen are just practice makes perfect. After two trips to the sea, they will naturally know everything.

"Okay, I'll think about it. "

With this thought in mind, Zhang Hongtao was no longer as relaxed as before when drinking, and was only thinking about making money.

When he was halfway through drinking, a girl brought two dishes of side dishes, a dish of peanuts, and a stack of mixed kelp shreds.

"Handsome guys, these are the dishes given by our restaurant, to go with your wine."

Chu Yang looked up and was immediately surprised.

The girl who served the dishes was about twenty years old, with smooth black hair, curved eyebrows, a straight nose, and two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.

But what was more eye-catching was the high peach under her light yellow chiffon skirt, and the pair of long and white healthy legs under the skirt.

The waiter in this restaurant is quite good-looking!
