Sitting on this boat, they realized that the gap between them and Chen Hong's family was widening.
With Chen Hong's skills and luck, having this ship, she dared to venture into the farthest reaches of the open sea.
This year is definitely going to be a year of great success for Chen Hongfu. Everyone should be very happy that such a capable person has emerged in the village.
But every man has a sour feeling in his heart, it must be because he dipped the dumplings in too much vinegar during the New Year!
Chen Hong started the switch, sounded the horn, and with a deep, long whistle, Chen Hong led the villagers to turn the boat around, leave the berth, and head towards the sea.
We haven't prepared any fishing gear on the boat today, so we can't fish or use nets. We just wanted the villagers to test the boat's performance and speed.
The fishing boat sped across the sea, the water churning on either side of the hull. Everyone was incredibly excited; it was more than twice as fast as their own fishing boat.
It's almost like a speedboat, and it's incredibly stable; you can't feel any shaking at all.
After sailing at sea for half an hour, the village chief quickly shouted, "Chen Hong, drive back quickly!"
Chen Hong was startled. "Uncle, what's wrong? Are you seasick? I'll turn back right away, don't worry."
“Why would I get seasick on such a smooth boat? This boat is going so fast, it must be using up a lot of fuel. Let’s just go around once and try it out for fun, then let’s go back.” The village chief told her, “Stop going around, let’s go back to port.”
Everyone burst into laughter. "Village chief, you're not a father yourself, but you're worrying like one!"
The village chief laughed and said, "Get lost, you brat. Even though we're not related, I treat Chen Hong like my own daughter."
Chen Hong spun the boat back to the dock. He had no idea what envy, jealousy, and resentment everyone felt afterward. But from that moment on, everyone's enthusiasm for fishing increased significantly.
Some villagers were inspired by the various simple devices modified on Chen Hong's boat. They went home and modified and updated the equipment on their own fishing boats.
After setting it up and trying it out at sea, it was indeed easy and convenient to use. It didn't cost much, but it significantly improved efficiency.
It seems that no matter what one does, one should use one's brain more and improve what can be improved. We cannot blindly inherit the traditions of the older generation without being enterprising.
Actually, what Chen Hong made wasn't difficult at all. Sometimes she only added a few small parts and mechanisms, which didn't cost much more money, but made it much more useful.
The village chief and his wife, along with Uncle Erhu's family, helped Chen Hong clean and scrub the boat. Chen Hong then invited them to go home together.
Because they're setting sail on a new boat tomorrow, they haven't bought any supplies or fishing gear yet. Chen Hong went straight to the city that afternoon, browsing through supermarkets and fishing tackle shops.
Back at the dock, we parked the tricycle and started unloading our belongings onto the boat. This included various pots and pans, bowls and plates, a gas cylinder, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and various seasonings. We also brought bottled water, bedding, and toiletries.
I also bought a 20-pound box of noodles, 200 pounds of wheat flour, and 50 pounds of rice. I packed up everything I could think of for daily life and moved it onto the boat. This is my second home.
Chen Hong made a tough decision and spent over 100,000 yuan to buy three sets of the best and most expensive boat rods, including the best fishing lines and reels. She also bought a whole box of leader lines and hooks, as well as more than 30 sets of longline fishing lines.
Going to the open sea and fishing one line at a time is just too slow.
Chen Hong planned to go to the open sea and use a longline fishing method with thick lines and large hooks to catch big fish. With the fish she kept in her space as bait, she refused to believe that the fish in the deep sea wouldn't take the bait.
It was her first time going to the open sea, and she was a little nervous; the plan needed to be adjusted.
She decided to try it out tomorrow to see if it would work, and then slowly explore the familiar waters from there.
She was making steady progress towards the high seas, and she was confident she would achieve her goal sooner or later. Just in case, she not only bought two high-strength harpoons for the ship, but also prepared two more in her personal storage space.
In addition to the ship's emergency rescue boat, lifebuoys, and life jackets, Chen Hong also equipped herself with a set of each in her personal space, and prepared a lot of other weapons.
After dinner, Chen Hong called Zhang Baiqiang, Zheng Gaoxing, and Liu Quantian. She told them that she had bought a new fishing boat and was preparing to go out to sea.
Ask them how much purchasing power they have for this year's catch. If a few of them can't buy all her fish, then she'll have to find a few more sales channels.
Zheng Gaoxing didn't say much, just told her to continue supplying goods as before. Zhang Baiqiang and Liu Quantian, however, were both very happy.
Both families told Chen Hong that they would buy all the fish they had, no matter how much. After all, one of them ran a wholesale seafood store, and the other was a nationwide chain store; they could handle any amount of fish they caught.
They assured Chen Hong that she could go fishing at sea without worry, and that they would be waiting to receive her.
Chen Hong asked them if they had any connections if they caught a tuna.
Zhang Baiqiang was overjoyed. "If you have any tuna, just supply it directly to our hotel. We don't need to sell any to other hotels."
Our hotel is a nationwide chain. No matter how rare or precious, if it's from the sea, the rarer and more valuable it is, we'll take it. We're not afraid of quantity; we're only afraid of scarcity.
Zhang Baiqiang also asked Chen Hong if she would go tea picking again this spring.
