Chapter 1644: Take-up

"Boss, what did you promise them to do?" Watching the transportation boat with several captains leave, Huang Bin looked at Xiao Peng with a look of confusion.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Isn't it making you money? The ships you looked at, don't mention the ships from the Wa Kingdom, the ships from the Light Star-Stripe Kingdom, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, and the Sacramento-class integrated supply ship.' One Avenger-class minesweeper and two Hurricane-class patrol boats. This Arleigh Burke-class destroyer contains two hundred and sixty people! Are these people all going to eat? I tell you, Star Stripe Navy. The dietary standards are very good. Usually eight dollars a day, when it comes to fighting, it is 12 dollars. Now it is a combat mission for them! What's wrong with earning them some food expenses? You don't want to make some money?"
"But..." Shi Ming on one side couldn't help it. "Our ship has such a large space for people, how can we provide food for so many people? Even if it's all packed with food, We can't supply so many people, right?
Xiao Peng gave him a white look: "You are not convinced that you are stupid! You won't use your mind? Where did the tofu we eat come from?"
Huang Bin came back to his senses: "You mean we are trying hard to bring soybeans to make tofu for them?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Does the soybeans take up space? Bring the dried soybeans over, make them tofu, sprout bean sprouts, and have seafood in the sea. What can I catch for them to eat. Isn't it okay to fool a foreigner?"
Huang Bin frowned and said, "Brother Peng, this thing is not reliable. You need fresh water for soaking tofu. We don't have a lot of fresh water on the boat. They are all used for soaking beans, so what do we drink?"
Xiao Peng glared at him: "I said you are stupid, you are not convinced. Is the desalination device a decoration?"
Huang Bin said speechlessly after hearing this: "Brother Peng, the diluted water wash is good for bathing and washing your face, but you can't do anything else!"
Xiao Peng asked back: "Can you eat dead people?"
"Uh, that's not possible."
"Isn't that enough? Just add some bittern to the sea water and make our Qindao's special seawater tofu. Make 300 catties a day, which is enough for them. One catty of dried beans and three catties of tofu with some seafood, trust me, I promise that you won't have to work in vain!" Xiao Peng said cheerfully.
Huang Bin said silently, "Will they buy such a horrible thing? Are they stupid? Is it enough to eat once? Foreigners don't like tofu either!"
Xiao Peng laughed and said: "Look, I can let them eat not enough every day! You just wait to get rich. Okay, tell everyone to take a good rest today, collect the longline tomorrow morning, and then we return to the port for replenishment ."
Huang Bin asked curiously: "Boss, what are you in the picture?"
Xiao Peng said of course: "Of course it is to make money. I am not laughing at you. You all say that you are fishermen. What you do in Qianliyan is also a fisherman's work, but you really can't be a fisher if you leave Qianliyan!"
Huang Bin was dissatisfied: "Boss, I don't want to listen to what you said. We have been with you for a few years. The wind and rain come and go every day. You really want to drive us. What are you doing?"
Shi Ming kept listening to the two talking without moving, but now he said, "Huang Bin, what the boss said is right. If we really don’t stay clairvoyant, we may be bodyguards or security guards, but it is absolutely impossible to do it. The fisherman."
"Why?" Huang Bin asked puzzledly.
Shi Ming glared at him: "When you were fishing for bonito just now, that was what a regular fisherman should do. When you hit a school of fish, you will die hard. Every day, you can spin on the boat almost 24 hours a day, because no one knows when to touch it. When it comes to the school of fish, how does it look like we are in Qianliyan, we finish our work comfortably, eat well and live better?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "The most important thing is to make less. Take the bonito just now. You made more than ten tons of bonito in one go. It looks much better. But you know what the current price of bonito is for recycling. Is it a kilogram? I called Nelson and asked. The price is now 140 yen per kilogram, which is almost 85.1 tons. Even if the fish can sell for 100,000, deduct the captain’s fee, you guys. People may earn up to three thousand five thousand. It sounds like a lot, and you can earn so much after a while, but you have to know that you may not encounter such fish in a few months at sea. This is still income. If you catch bonito with a higher level, you will earn less if it is an offshore boat that targets other fish. Moreover, being a fisherman is not only not afraid of hardship, but also a good captain, or floats at sea for a few months. If you can’t catch fish, you’ll earn a fart. After you get used to Qianliyan, you can’t adapt to the boat outside."
Shi Ming has been busy in front of the console, and suddenly he said: "Boss, I suggest that you start to wind up the line before 11 o'clock this evening."
"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Shi Ming pointed to the ocean current instruction platform and said: "There is an ocean current suddenly going northward. The ocean current we are laying longline fishing tackle will reverse under the impact of that ocean current. In that case, it is difficult for us to get fish up. Moreover, the direction of ocean currents is likely to cause losses to our fishing gear, such as tangled lines. In fact, our fishing tackle has been knotted due to turbulence during this period. It will also increase the difficulty of rewinding, after all, 100 For the 20-kilometer trunk line, it’s best to take it straight, otherwise it’s a waste of time.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Xiao Peng asked after hearing this."
Shi Ming said bitterly, "Boss, this is not at home, and you didn't arrange for the first officer. Now you are the captain!"
Xiao Peng was taken aback, then he covered his face and said, "I am indeed to blame for this!"
The most important thing about working on a fishing boat is to do your job. Everyone must do their own place. Captain, first mate, second mate, chief supervisor, etc. The positions are distinct. The captain lay down on top of the first mate.
, The second mate has disappeared by a large margin. If you want to say the most taboo, it must be ‘ultra power’. A big steward teaches the captain how to adjust the course to look for fish. Isn’t that a mess?
Xiao Peng was also used to it. It turned out that Yang Meng was always there every time he went to sea. He was the captain and first officer of the Mengzi. Basically, there will be no problems. But when he came out this time, he forgot about it: What position did he set up for such a small boat?
In the end, he didn't care, but everyone on the boat couldn't care less. Even if this is a small boat, it must follow the rules, right? This is not a question of hard-heartedness, this is the rules of the sea.
So even if Shi Ming sailed the boat all day and dangled in the cockpit all day, he couldn't express opinions on things like these. This was the ship's rules.
"We are all our own people on the boat, so why are you so strict about the rules?" Xiao Peng wanted to find himself a step down.
Shi Ming shook his head, "Boss, we are on the sea. That is not easy."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, you are right. I announce that you are the chief engineer and first officer when you come out this time. Huang Bin, the work on the deck is left to you!" Xiao Peng arranged: "Now gather people together and collect the fishing tackle! Shi Ming, you are at the helm! You will be responsible for the fishing this time!"
"Yes, boss!"
It is not unreasonable for Xiao Peng to let Shi Ming at the helm. Their longline fishing boats put fishing tackle from the stern, but they have to collect the fishing tackle from the bow. People who are familiar with the position of the fishing tackle are required to steer the helm. Is Xiao Peng really used to it, so it's better to hand it over to Shi Ming who is more familiar with longline fishing boats.
Shi Ming did not live up to Xiao Peng's trust, and soon found the fishing tackle, and instructed Xiao Peng and others to fix the fishing tackle and the rope hoist, and then the rope hoist slowly began to recover the fishing tackle. The boat is constantly sailing at a slow speed, cooperating with the work of the rope hoist to retract the fishing line. This is a boring process.
And Xiao Peng and others can't be idle, they have to separate the dry rope, support rope, floating rope and float, and at the same time put the fish on the conveyor belt into the fish tank.
This is a very time-consuming task. It is necessary to put the dry rope into the rope hoist, enter the dry rope duct through the guide wheel, and collect it into the fishing gear compartment at the stern of the ship. Into the dry rope storage, the support ropes, floating ropes, floats and other tools must be sent to the tail fishing gear storage through two other thin conveyor belts: the conveyor belt on the left is for the support rope, and the conveyor on the right is for the float, so Next time you are fishing, all the tools can be used directly! Very convenient. The caught fish are directly fed into the refrigerating room through the big conveyor belt in the middle and quickly frozen.
"Boss, how is the harvest?" Huang Bin's voice sounded in the dialogue machine. He was working in the fishing gear warehouse behind, not knowing what was going on in front.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "After receiving five kilometers of line, there is nothing to gain except for a great blue shark. I hate longline fishing. It's too much luck!"
"Boss, longline fishing is not just about luck, but also the direction of the ocean current, speed, season, wind direction, suitable bait, etc. You don't just throw it away." Shi Ming's retort came from the intercom. .
Xiao Peng picked up the walkie-talkie: "That's OK, next time you throw the line to teach you to be responsible! You choose the fishing spot! If you get more fish, you will get more bonuses. If you get less, you won’t be held accountable. How about mine? Your chance to prove yourself!"
"Uh..." Shi Ming moved a little, but still made up his mind.
Xiao Peng feigned angrily: "Man, what do mothers-in-law and mother-in-law do? I can do it or not. I hate me all day for not giving you the opportunity to perform. Now that I give you the opportunity to perform, you are useless!"
"I'll come if I come! The reason I hesitate is because I'm afraid that the catch will lose your face, Captain!" Shi Ming said angrily.
Xiao Pengle said: "Listen well, everyone. Shi Ming will be responsible for the next catch. If you make less money, go find him and don't find me!"
"Boss, you are too insidious!" Shi Ming protested.
Xiao Peng just wanted to talk, but suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him: "Boss! Catch a monster!"
