Chapter 186 The Smuggling Shipwreck
Back on the boat, Zhang Ze looked at the huge oysters on the rubber boat and was very satisfied.
He picked out some oysters and planned to steam them for dinner.
The rest will be stored in the space. Thinking of this, Zhang Ze suddenly paused, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Oh my god, how could I have forgotten about the space when I was prying oysters.
Why did he need to use a bucket to carry it? Couldn't he just store it in the space? It was all his uncles' fault. If he hadn't followed them to pry open the abalone once, he would never have forgotten the existence of the space.
At this time, a ship passed by from a distance, and Zhang Ze fell silent again after seeing it.
He felt that he had forgotten it well. He didn't bring a bucket in broad daylight, and he didn't find any oysters after digging for half a day. If passers-by saw him, they would probably wonder where he had dug all the oysters.
This forgets the space and hides the space instead.
He looked around and saw that the boat in the distance was still sailing on the water. The distance was so far that others could not see the specific situation on his side even with a telescope, but Zhang Ze still put the oysters into a bucket and took them on board.
After getting on the boat, he put the oysters that he would not eat tonight into the space to keep them, and then take them out to make oyster sauce when he returned.
Zhang Ze first went to the tool room in the cabin to get a small brush, and came over to brush the oysters.
He had always thought that oysters and crab shells were the same thing, and was puzzled as to why they had two different scientific names when they looked exactly the same.
Later, I went fishing frequently. After a long time, I gained a better understanding of seafood and understood the differences.
Oysters are widely distributed in my country. They can be found in all the seas of the country. They are also called sea oysters.
There are many types of oysters, and raw oysters are one of them.
You can say that oysters are oysters, but you can’t say that oysters are oysters. The two belong to the same species but different categories.
Oysters are a larger type of oyster. They are plump, sweet and satisfying to eat, and many people like to eat them as sashimi.
Some of the super-large ones can weigh up to one kilogram. You can’t even fill your mouth with one bite, let alone the satisfaction you feel.
The most important difference is the zinc content. Under the same weight, the zinc content of oysters is more than seven times that of ordinary oysters.
There is no need to mention the importance of zinc to men. It is one of the most important factors for men to prove themselves.
In the market, oysters are usually sold with their shells, while those sold with the meat removed are mostly oysters.
However, these were cultivated in large quantities in later generations and were not that expensive.
Prepare the sauce, take out the steamed oysters, poke a small dagger along the gap, cut off the oyster column, and the oysters will be easily opened.
Seeing the plump, snow-white oyster meat inside, Zhang Ze couldn't wait to pick it up with chopsticks, dip it in the sauce, and then put it into his mouth.
The delicious sauce and the sweetness of the oysters themselves made him squint his eyes in enjoyment.
After chewing it a few times, there is still a hint of milky flavor.
Although this thing is a gas station for men, the effect will not be seen in just one meal. It needs to be consumed for a long time to have any boosting effect.
Therefore, Zhang Ze, whose wife is pregnant, is not afraid of having erotic dreams after eating too much. If the effect is really that exaggerated, the price in future generations would probably be hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands per pound.
As long as there is help, rich men will not be stingy with this little money at all.
After a delicious oyster dinner, Zhang Ze cleaned up the dishes, took out his fishing gear and went to the side of the boat to prepare for fishing.
The main purpose of coming here is to catch red-billed sturgeon, so he directly exchanged for red-billed sturgeon exclusive bait to fish.
After the bait was put down for a long time without any movement, Zhang Ze drove the boat to another location.
Soon, two hours passed, but the harvest was not good. I only caught four red-billed guppies, and they were all less than five kilograms. It seems that I need to change my location.
Zhang Ze looked at the small island in the distance and decided to try his luck there.
It was getting dark, so he turned on the lights on the boat.
Just as he arrived near the small island, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help from the sea. This made him slowly stop the boat, reduce the engine noise to a minimum, and then go to the deck with a telescope to check the situation.
Since he could hear the sound, the distance should not be too far.
Looking around, he actually found a wooden ship dozens of meters away, but due to the light, he couldn't see what was happening on the ship. He only saw that the stern of the ship was tilting downward, and it seemed that it had hit a reef and sank.
When encountering an accident at sea, basically all captains will choose to help rescue people, because no one knows whether such an unfortunate thing will happen to them.
So Zhang Ze decisively sailed over and offered a helping hand if he could, as it was all about human lives.
Soon, Zhang Ze arrived near the suspected shipwreck.
At this time, three people were struggling on the water next to the silent wooden boat. One of them wanted to float up, but it was not known whether he had no strength left or could not swim.
Wherever the light shone, you could see that he was being submerged in the sea water, with more and more bubbles on the surface, and it was obvious that he was in a panic.
The other two could swim and were swimming desperately towards him.
Not only that, there were many people anxiously asking for help on the ship that had not completely sunk, including women and children.
When these people saw Zhang Ze driving the boat over, they were all very excited and shouted for help frantically.
This situation completely stunned him. Could this be a smuggling ship?
He knew that many people from Chaozhou were running to Hong Kong Island, and that they were all smuggled across the border on some fishing boats and cargo ships. The captains of those boats could earn a lot of money from shipping fees every year.
But now he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly drove the boat closer and threw the rubber boat and rope over.
He himself did not think of going down to save people. This kind of drowning person is the most terrifying. If you swim over to save them, the other person may directly entangle you, making it impossible for you to swim and drown together.
Soon, two people who could swim managed to grab the rubber boat and helped each other climb out.
As for the person who choked on the water, he was no longer visible.
Zhang Ze was also helpless about this. If he had come earlier, maybe he could have been rescued, but since he chose to smuggle, anything could happen.
If these ships encounter patrolling coast guards from Hong Kong Island, they will jump into the sea to hide, and many people have died as a result.
Without paying any attention to the people on the rubber boat, Zhang Ze continued to drive the boat to the sunken ship to pick up the people.
The wooden boat hit a reef and started leaking, but he did not detect any reefs nearby through the fish finder, so he was able to sail over safely.
It was estimated that the reef was not here, and the wooden boat only discovered the leak after sailing for some distance.
As soon as we arrived at the wooden ship, a group of people crowded together and tried to come over. The deck of the sunken ship immediately erupted with noise, crying, and the helpless cries of children.
Some men took out money to offer to rescue them first. There were even two men who squeezed to the outside because they wanted to be on the boat first. As a result, they were pushed off the boat by the crowd and fell into the sea.
Zhang Ze didn't even look at the people who fell into the sea, and shouted directly: "Be quiet, women and children come up first, and men stay behind. Everyone can be rescued if they come in order, otherwise some of you will die."
He had a loud voice, and after his roar, everyone on the sinking ship fell silent.
The ship was not sinking very quickly, and indeed everyone was able to be rescued.
Soon, the children and women got on the boat first, and then the men on the boat climbed over one by one.
There weren't many people, only about seventeen including the women and children, and two people were on the rubber boat, but they couldn't get across because they didn't have oars.
"Handsome boy, thank you so much. If you hadn't come over, everyone on our boat would have drowned." A middle-aged man with a more formal plan and seemingly good conditions came over to express his gratitude.
He was one of the people who gave money to Zhang Zexian to save.
Those who choose to smuggle themselves across the border generally do not have good family conditions. These people are likely to sell all their properties and exchange them for gold and other things to make a living in Hong Kong Island.
Now that he has been rescued, he has not expressed any gratitude except verbal thanks.

Zhang Ze nodded and ignored him. He asked the group of people to stay on the deck and then go to rescue the two people who were still on the rubber boat.
After rescuing the people, he realized that one of the two men was the owner of the wooden boat and the other was a boatman.
As for the one who drowned, he was also a boatman.
All three are native inhabitants of Hong Kong Island and have been involved in the smuggling business.
Zhang Ze frowned, then asked: "Where are you from? I'll send you back first."
As for the two Hong Kong Island aborigines, that will have to be dealt with by the government.
Hearing that they were going to be sent back, the men looked at each other, and then the man who had just spoken to Zhang Ze stepped forward and said, "Handsome boy, how about this, we give you money, can you take us to Hong Kong Island?"
Zhang Ze waved his hand and refused: "This is a mainland ship. I can't go to Hong Kong Island. I will send you back first. Wherever you want to go is none of my business."
At this time, the captain of the wooden boat also spoke up: "Handsome boy, I have connections in Hong Kong Island, and I can guarantee that you will be fine there. If you are willing to take us there, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Their identities as illegal immigrants are not clean. They are with a gang in Hong Kong Island and they force women into prostitution and commit robbery.
There were five young girls rescued in the crowd, three of whom were very beautiful. They were all the source of their nightclub! If they were sent to the mainland government, they would definitely have to sit in jail for a while after their identities were verified.
Zhang Ze glanced at him with a half-smile, but ignored him. Instead, he said to the women and children who were watching quietly on the side, "You go into the cabin and rest for a while. The men stay on the deck and don't walk around. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what they will do later."
To be honest, when Zhang Ze heard the conditions they proposed, he regretted saving people. Let these people drown. Anyway, the country has started family planning, so it would be better if there were fewer people who fawned on foreigners.
But since they have been rescued, we can’t just throw them back into the sea one by one, so we can only send them to the shore as quickly as possible and let them go.
Of course, Zhang Ze did not rule out the possibility that these people might cause trouble later, so he called the women and children into the cabin first.
Two men wanted to follow in, but he picked them up one by one and threw them out.
"Forget it this time, but I can't guarantee that I won't just throw it into the sea to feed the fish next time."
After temporarily intimidating the seven men on the deck, Zhang Ze locked the cabin doors from the inside, then took the kitchen knives, hooks, bamboo poles and other offensive items to the cab and locked the door.
There are seven men, only two of them are young, and the rest are all over 40 years old.
The two men who were thrown away just now were in their forties or fifties. As for the two younger ones, one of them was from Hong Kong Island, and the other one was sitting quietly on the deck and did not go along with the others.
Zhang Ze started the fishing boat and headed towards Chaozhou.
I just learned from a beautiful girl that they are all Chaozhou people and they want to sneak into Hong Kong Island.
The Duoyu was sailing on the sea. It was not far from Chaozhou, about one and a half to two hours.
At this time, the two people from Hong Kong Island were communicating with three old men.
It can be seen that the two men from Hong Kong Island have fierce looks on their faces, while the other three have hesitant expressions.
The two people from Hong Kong Island wanted to hijack the ship. Not only were they afraid of being caught, but they also had their eyes on Zhang Ze's big ship.
The other three hesitated because they could choose to smuggle again after they returned. There are many channels for smuggling in this era, and the most they would lose is some money for the boat fare today.
But if they collided with Zhang Ze, someone might die. They didn't want to take the risk! There was another strong middle-aged man who didn't join in the fun, but came to the silent young man.
When the young man saw him coming, he leaned over and whispered, "Brother, that group of people seems to be trying to harm the captain. The captain saved us after all, so let's help him later!"
The middle-aged man looked at the five men not far away with some contempt in his eyes. He didn't nod, but only uttered one word: "Help!"
After half an hour, the five people who gathered seemed to have reached a consensus on their goal. The captain of the wooden ship on Hong Kong Island stood up and walked to the middle-aged man and the young man, asking them to join him.
There is only one young man among the five people, and Zhang Ze has just shown his strength, so he doesn't look simple. So he wants to pull these two people into the gang as well, as the more people there are, the greater the chance.
However, as soon as he approached, the two brothers sitting on the ground looked at each other, and the young man directly swept his leg to knock down the captain of the wooden boat, and knocked him out with a punch before he could even scream.
Then the middle-aged man stood up and rushed towards the remaining four stunned people with the young man.
Because everyone was at the stern, Zhang Ze couldn't see the situation of these people, but a few sudden screams caught his attention.
He frowned, stopped the boat, picked up a kitchen knife and paid attention to the left and right sides in case someone suddenly broke in through the door.
However, the screams soon disappeared and turned into groaning sounds.
Then, Zhang Ze was shocked to find that the middle-aged man and the young man carried people to the front deck and threw them into a ball.
Then they sat down, as if watching over these people.
Zhang Ze was silent for a moment. Fearing that there might be a trap, he did not open the door and went out. Instead, he restarted the Duoyu and continued to head towards Chaozhou.
More than an hour later, under the guidance of a girl in the cabin, he arrived at a very remote fishing village pier.
The middle-aged man and the young man saw the place and took the initiative to carry the people ashore.
Now Zhang Ze understood that the two of them had no ill intentions, and that something must have happened just now, and they took the initiative to help him solve a big problem.
Two against five, and they handled the situation easily. These two guys must be pretty capable fighters.
