Chapter 191: The First Typhoon After Rebirth
I was riding a motorcycle today and would go back soon, so Zhang Ze didn't drink at night.
After leaving the restaurant, he took the two brothers Long and Hu to buy some daily necessities.
Fortunately, it is summer now and we don’t need a quilt, otherwise it would be hard to buy one late at night.
After buying the things, Zhang Ze drove them home and temporarily arranged for them to stay in the empty house next to his own.
This house was bought for backup. Now the two sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing have gone to work in the city. When Zhang Wu starts school, the house in the city will be almost ready for occupancy, and the whole family will move there at that time.
The house where Zhang Ze originally lived would become his temporary residence. If he came back from the sea too late, he would have to spend the night here.
That's why he said that food and accommodation are provided, because the houses here are not meant to be lived in for long.
After returning home, Zhang Ze took them to meet his family. When Zhang Wu heard that the two brothers knew martial arts, he obviously became interested and clamored to learn martial arts.
He slapped the guy on the back of his head and said, "What the hell are you learning? If you learn it, you will become aggressive and we will have to worry about you. Be honest."
If Zhang Wu was the kind of honest kid who couldn't even make a sound for a long time, Zhang Ze would really let him learn a little bit so that he wouldn't be afraid of being bullied.
But the time spent in Wenshui City and after coming to Nanfang has proved that his family is well off and he doesn't need to worry about filling his stomach, so his communication skills are impeccable and he is almost the leader among kids now.
According to later generations, this guy was somewhat socially complacent.
People with this kind of personality generally won't cause others to dislike them and then target them.
But it is still okay to exercise every day. Having a good physical fitness can also make the relationship between husband and wife more harmonious after marriage.
Zhang Huihong didn't have any thoughts about the arrival of Lin Long and Lin Hu. She just asked Zhang Ze about some situations in private. After learning about the brothers' backgrounds, she felt that the two brothers were a bit pitiful.
A night passed, and the next day, Zhang Ze just went downstairs and found that Lin Long and Lin Hu next door were doing boxing. He watched with great interest, and waited until they seemed to have finished a set before going over.
"You guys are so early!"
When Lin Long heard his voice, he turned around and greeted him, then said, "It's better to practice martial arts in the morning. Do you want to start learning now?"
"Okay, learn for a while, and then we'll go eat." Zhang Ze readily agreed. He asked the two brothers to help deliver the seafood, but mainly wanted to learn a few tricks from them.
As a man, if he could learn some real martial arts, he would be more or less interested in it.
Besides, these times are not peaceful, so it would be good to learn some body imitation.
However, Zhang Ze thought he had to stand in a horse stance at the beginning, but Lin Long directly started teaching him martial arts moves.
"Hey, don't we have to practice the basics like horse stance first?"
"With your body, you can quickly put it into practice if you learn some techniques first. You can practice horse stance and other techniques slowly when you have time."
Speaking of physical fitness, Lin Long walked up and touched Zhang Ze's arm enviously. He had met many capable people, but he felt that no one could compare with his boss.
He felt that if Zhang Ze had started practicing martial arts since childhood like him, he might be able to beat two of them by now.
This is like a heavyweight boxer and a lightweight boxer fighting in a ring. When their skills are similar, it will be a one-sided crush.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Ze thought it made sense. He decided to learn martial arts first. Horse stance and other movements were not that difficult. He could practice them anytime after going out to sea.
But then, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Long to start teaching him Nanzhi Fist directly.
In other words, his memory has improved a lot, otherwise he would not be able to learn it in a short period of time.
But even so, Lin Long kept sighing that he was a martial arts genius.
They practiced for an hour or so, until Zhang's mother came and called them to have breakfast, and then they ended their practice for the day.
When he got home, he saw Zhang Wu still sleeping in, so Zhang Ze went over and lifted him off the boat like a chicken.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. How can you sleep at such a young age?"
Zhang Wu was confused. Wasn't I sleeping? Why was I in the living room?
How did I get here? Zhang's mother took him down from Zhang Ze's arms in a bad mood: "Don't bother your brother. At this age, he grows taller when he sleeps."
"Mom, this won't work. Sleeping too much will make you lazy. Let's put it this way. A'long and A'hu won't go out to sea with me in the future. Let Zhang Wu go with us for morning exercises!"
"Young man, practice more. It's good for your health."
"Really, brother?" Zhang Wu was almost sober now. When he heard Zhang Ze asking him to practice martial arts with Lin Long and the others, he immediately became excited.
Zhang Ze gave Lin Long a meaningful look and nodded with a smile.
Lin Long understood immediately because he had told Zhang Wu yesterday about following his training and learning some self-defense skills and some fancy moves.
You have to know that his Nanzhi Fist is a real killing skill, which cannot be taught.
After breakfast, Zhang Ze did not go out to sea, but took them for a stroll in the village so that they could understand and integrate into the village as quickly as possible.
His mother-in-law's house was next door, so he brought his two brothers over to meet her.
In case something happens at my mother-in-law's home, I can ask them to come and help.
"Aze, who are they?" Lu Man asked puzzledly when she saw Zhang Ze coming with two strange men.
"Mom, this is Lin Long and this is Lin Hu. They are brothers. I asked them to help me with things outside and they are also my good friends. By the way, I told outsiders that they are distant relatives, so don't let the villagers know." Zhang Ze introduced them to his mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law who came over.
"Is that so?" Lu Man nodded in understanding.
"Mom, and sister-in-law, if you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to ask A-Long to come and help. They usually live in the village and don't go out to sea with me."
"Okay~" Lu Man and her daughters-in-law all nodded with a smile.
After a brief acquaintance, Zhang Ze continued to stroll around the village with the two brothers.
Whenever he met someone familiar, he would say hello to them. Some people would even ask about the two brothers, but he would just dismiss them as distant relatives.
As he walked, Zhang Ze unexpectedly saw Jin Sanbao's mother and his wife. They were carrying a bamboo basket and seemed to have returned from the dock.
Seeing this, he hurried forward to help: "Aunt, sister-in-law, let me help you."
"Hey, Aze, you are at home today!" Jin Sanbao's mother was a little surprised when she saw him.
"They just came back yesterday. These are my two distant relatives. They will be living in our village in the future, so I took them to get familiar with the village." Lin Long and Lin Hu took the bamboo basket in Zhang Ze's hand and he took the opportunity to introduce the two brothers.
Jin Sanbao's mother suddenly realized, and she was just about to ask who these two young men were!
Then she felt envious again. After all, they were relatives and she could follow Zhang Ze.
No matter how good the relationship with his son is, they are just friends. Although friends can lend a hand when encountering any problems, he will eventually have to rely on himself in the future.
But it is different for Zhang Ze’s relatives. Even if their lives were difficult before, they can live better than most people in the village by drinking soup from him in the future.
However, these were only the thoughts in Jin Sanbao's mother's mind. On the way to her home, she also learned a lot about the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu. When she learned that neither of them was married, her eyes suddenly lit up.
At her age, she especially likes matchmaking, so she immediately said with a smile: "Along and Ah Hu, you are both unmarried, I will find someone for you when the time comes."
Lin Long and Lin Hu were a little embarrassed, Zhang Ze laughed and said, "That's great. I was worried about their lifelong affairs. It's great to have Aunt Jin help find them."
After chatting for a few more sentences, when he was about to leave, Jin Baosan and Chen Xudong came unexpectedly with shoulder poles, and Jin Fan helped to support them.
He saw Zhang Ze's eyes light up: "Aze, you came at the right time. We caught a lot of shrimps this time. You can take some back to dry the shrimp skins."
Seeing the three of them together, Zhang Ze asked, "Have you bought the boat?"
Jin Sanbao nodded: "Yes, we got them last night. The three of us went out to sea for a test run, but we didn't expect to catch such a large net of shrimps."
"By the way, who are they?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"My distant relatives." Although these three people were the ones with whom he had the best relationships in Nanfang, Zhang Ze still told them the identities of Lin Long and Lin Hu according to what he would say to the outside world.
After all, they had followed his idea before, but he didn't say it, so they joined together to buy a second-hand boat.
If he knew that Lin Long and the others were employees he recruited, no matter how good their relationship was, he would probably have some thoughts in his mind. Sometimes a white lie is still necessary.
It's a good thing not to lie, but the truth sometimes hurts people's hearts.
After getting to know each other, the six grown men began walking towards the dock.
This time, Jin Sanbao and his companions caught a lot of shrimps. They sold most of them and kept a small portion to give away.
Originally they were planning to send some to Zhang Ze, but since they met, they decided to go together.
When they arrived at the dock, Jin Sanbao and his friends directly took a large bucket and started filling it with shrimps to give to him.
Zhang Ze hurriedly stopped them. There were so many of them that even if they were dried they would not be enough. Their family didn’t know how long it would take to eat them all.
There was no shortage of hair shrimps at the seaside, so I only took a few. After drying, they weighed about one pound.
In fact, this is not a small amount. After the hair shrimps are dried into shrimp skins, they are very light and one pound can fill a large bag.
And this thing is basically used as an ingredient. For example, when making an egg and loofah soup, sprinkling some dried shrimps on it can enhance the flavor.
You can add some dried shrimps when making fried rice with eggs, but it seems a bit useless.
Of course, you can also stir-fry it with oil and eat it with soy sauce, which is also very fragrant.
I was carrying the shrimps home, and before I even entered the yard, I saw Tong Shuyao wandering around the yard with her growing belly.
Zhang Wu was squatting beside and fiddling with the fishing line. It seemed that this guy was getting further and further down the path of becoming a fisherman.
"Hey, where did you get so many shrimps?" Tong Shuyao asked puzzledly after seeing what they had in their hands.
"It was given by Sanbao and his friends. The boat they bought arrived last night, so they went out to sea for a test run and ended up catching a large net of shrimps."
"You gave me some. Let's dry some shrimps."
Tong Shuyao suddenly realized: "They bought a boat? That's great. Aunt Jin and the others will have better and better lives in the future."
In her impression, as long as she bought a slightly larger ship that could go to a farther sea, she would definitely be able to make money, because all the people she came into contact with were like this, which gave her the concept that a big ship equals making money.
"It will get better and better." However, Zhang Ze still took over her words, because he gave Jin Sanbao and the others two good resource points. As long as these places were not plowed several times by large trawlers, they would be enough to feed them.
Not to mention now, even in the future, large ships going out to sea will basically make profits, it’s just hard work, and there will be occasional losses.
Zhang's mother heard the noise and came out. When she saw the shrimps, she asked a question and then started drying some things. Lin Long and Lin Hu quickly helped her.
They know what they need to do, and when they are not selling fish, they are responsible for helping out in daily life.
When they have nothing to do, they go to the fishery station to learn about the various types of seafood in the sea and their prices. These are their main tasks now.
Coastal areas always experience several typhoons every year.
Zhang Ze was reborn, but he didn’t meet him in Wenshui City. After being in Nanguan for so long, he finally met him.
The previous storm at sea was far from the level of a typhoon. It was just a storm that day, which could not be compared with a typhoon.
On the third day after the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu arrived at the fishing village, they were preparing to go out to sea. However, when they arrived at the dock, they found that there were a lot of fishing boats at the dock, and some of them were returning on the river, which surprised them.
Seeing his father-in-law at the dock, he hurried over and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Why are so many people returning today?"
Tong Guisheng is an old fisherman. When he saw his son-in-law, he said, "It's cloudy today. When we went out to sea this morning, it was windy and rough, and there were showers. Now it seems calm again, so it must be a typhoon coming."
"Typhoon?" Zhang Ze was shocked. He usually listened to the weather forecast when he came back.
But after being out to sea for a night, I missed the weather forecast when I arranged for the Dragon and Tiger brothers to meet up after I came back. I even had a little intimacy with Tong Shuyao yesterday. I didn’t expect the typhoon to come at this time.
Even if the fishermen living in the fishing village do not have a radio to listen to the weather forecast, they can understand the weather and the fishery station will also notify them in advance, so it is rare for fishermen to go out to sea without knowing that a typhoon is coming.
Of course, it does happen, but it’s rare. Some of them died because they went out to sea for a few days and didn’t have time to come back. The safety factor of fishermen in that era was indeed not as high as that in later generations.
When a typhoon comes, we can’t go out to sea for several days.
Moreover, the sky, which was covered with dark clouds just now, now began to show some sun, which made him speechless.
But he is a coastal person after all, and he is very accepting of the unpredictable weather.
The typhoon is coming, and the dock has to be prepared. Zhang Ze’s large ship has to go to a safe harbor to avoid capsizing in the river.
It is now August 20th in the Gregorian calendar, and the incoming typhoons are generally going to be big.
Normally speaking, with the wind and wave resistance of the Duoyu, it would be difficult for the boat to capsize in this small river that is not very wide or deep, but we still had to leave to be on the safe side.
The small wooden boats were crowded at the dock, and they would be safe if they used ropes to help each other. Their large ships had to go to the large dock on the other side and dock together with some large ships.
Not only him, Tong Guisheng also followed in his boat.
