After breakfast, the group arrived at the pier and then parted ways.
Feng Jiaqing and the workers went to work on the homestead, while Feng Ye and Feng Xuan boarded the Rising Sun.
Since they were going to sail to town anyway, they didn't ask Feng Jiaqing to go out to sea to collect the fish traps; they could just collect them on their way back.
Xiao Guowen, Xiao Guo, and A-Can had already arrived, and the Rising Sun had already sailed back to the dock.
Right now, they're sitting on the deck, chatting and joking.
"Brother, I'll drive."
Feng Ye took the lead and started the diesel engine.
Feng Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
It's daytime now, visibility is good, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
However, he still stood aside and watched, just in case.
First, they backed the boat out, then turned it around and went full throttle.
"Da da da..."
With the roar of its diesel engine, the Xuri fishing boat sped across the sea, stirring up white waves.
Feng Xuan stood aside, his eyes gleaming as he watched Feng Ye skillfully pilot the Rising Sun, feeling quite surprised.
The others on board sat on the deck, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze, their laughter and conversation punctuated by cheerful chatter.
The waves are indeed very big when sailing outwards, but they are currently on the coast, where the waves are not so big.
The Rising Sun cruised around most of White Stone Island before heading towards the town.
The distance between Baishi Island and the town is not very far, only about ten nautical miles.
Therefore, after sailing for more than half an hour, the Rising Sun arrived at the town's dock.
As soon as the Rising Sun docked at the pier, a shady-looking man in his early twenties boarded the ship and immediately shouted, "Hey, what ship are you from? What good catch have you made?"
Feng Ye frowned and said to the man, "We have no goods, we're just here to shop."
Although he had never sailed to town, he knew that this kind of person was the town's "local bully".
They would rip off foreign fishing boats if they could, and if they couldn't, they would force them to buy or sell. If there was really no profit to be made, they would charge a mooring fee.
When the man heard that there was no cargo on the ship, he clearly did not believe it and looked around the ship.
When he discovered that there were indeed no fish on the boat, the man smiled nonchalantly and said, "No cargo is fine, just a docking fee of one dollar."
As he spoke, he took out a book of receipts from his pocket, tore off a receipt, and handed it over.
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can glared angrily and was about to unleash a torrent of curses.
Feng Xuan reacted quickly and covered his mouth.
Compared to Ah-Can's naiveté, Feng Xuan knew quite a bit and knew that these people were not to be trifled with.
Even if you're just looking for a quick thrill and drive the people away, you can forget about stopping the boat.
After all, this is the town's dock, and these people have been active here for a long time. They can quickly gather a large group of people to come and take revenge.
Besides, it's better to avoid trouble. They're just here to go to the market; there's no need to create unnecessary complications.
His life motto is: When you're away from home, be tolerant if you can.
Xiao Guowen and Xiao Guowu watched coldly from the sidelines, but were prepared to take action if necessary.
Feng Ye patted A-Can on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.
Then, upon taking the receipt from the man, I saw that it had a company name, an official seal, a reason for the charge, and the amount.
I must say, it actually looks quite convincing.
But he knew that this was just a charade.
But he didn't expose him, nor did he intend to have a direct confrontation with the man now; he could settle the score when he got back.
After all, the Rising Sun will be staying here for a while.
Feng Ye smiled, put the receipt away, and without saying anything, gave the man a dollar.
The man was surprised that Feng Ye was so easy to talk to, and hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift.
"You're quite sensible!"
The man laughed, said a few words, and then got off the boat.
"Brother Xuan, why are you stopping me?"
Ah-Can stared at the man's retreating figure, still indignant.
"It's just one dollar, not worth a direct confrontation with them. Besides, they're the local bullies, and we're newcomers; we might easily get taken advantage of."
"At worst, we can just sail away. I don't believe they can chase us out to sea."
"What are you saying in anger? Are we not going to buy anything? Are we not going to come to town again?"
Although Ah-chan was still somewhat unwilling, he ultimately didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Feng Ye patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, our money isn't so easy to take. Let's go take care of our business first."
Then, he turned to Feng Xuan, Xiao Guowen and the others and said, "Let's get off the ship quickly, buy everything we need, and then settle the bill with him."
Feng Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of advice, but he didn't say anything.
After disembarking, the group agreed on a meeting time and then went their separate ways.
Xiao Guowen and Xiao Guowu went to take care of their own business.
Feng Xuan took the 20 yuan left over from selling the starfish and went with A-Can to buy a coal stove, honeycomb briquettes, and other things.
Feng Ye went to the town's police station alone.
...
Around 10 o'clock, Feng Ye returned to the Xuri ship carrying the things he had bought after leaving the police station.
He has already reported the Ponzi scheme involving Lao Liu and his son to the police station, and has provided the police with a detailed analysis of the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme.
As for the outcome, it is currently unknown. They say it needs further study before deciding whether to file a case.
Feng Xuan and A Can have returned. There is a huge pile of honeycomb briquettes on the boat, probably several hundred.
How many honeycomb briquettes did you buy?
Feng Ye asked in surprise.
Feng Xuan said, "After we bought everything else, we used the remaining money to buy honeycomb briquettes, a total of 240."
