After seeing off Xiao Zhaojun and his son, as well as A-Can, Feng Ye said, "Brother, bring back a net-raising machine when you come back. If the boat seller has any second-hand ones, that's fine too."
"Network activation machine?" Feng Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll remember that."
A net-hauling machine is a great tool for people who go out to sea to fish.
Although you can pull the net up manually, it's still tiring after doing it so many times.
Especially when encountering schools of fish, the frequency of net hauling is even higher, otherwise if too many are caught in one net, it may not be possible to pull them all up.
With the net-raising machine, net collection becomes much easier.
Secure the net-lifting machine to the boat, then tie the net to the machine, start the machine, and the machine will automatically pull the net onto the boat.
This not only saves time and effort, but also increases efficiency.
It was alright before, there were three people on the Rising Sun, and we could manage.
But from now on, it will only be Feng Ye and A Can, which will greatly increase their workload. If they don't set up a network machine, it will definitely affect their income.
How much does it cost to buy a network setup machine?
"It should cost several thousand yuan, right?"
Feng Ye wasn't quite sure about the price at that time, since he had never bought anything before.
"I just paid for the boat, and I don't have enough money on hand."
Feng Xuan frowned.
Even if he only pays a quarter, it would still be close to a thousand dollars, but now he only has a few hundred dollars left.
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back when you make money," Feng Ye said with a smile.
"Okay then."
Feng Ye thought for a moment and then said, "Also, please bring back a set of diving equipment for me."
"Why do you keep coming up with these ideas? A net-raising machine is fine, but what do you need diving equipment for?"
"Of course it's for diving, otherwise why would I buy it?"
"Of course I know it's diving. Why did I ask you why you're diving?" Feng Xuan said irritably.
"Isn't that big ship from Nagao Island sunk by the reef? I want to dive down and see if there's a chance to dismantle the machinery from that ship."
Feng Ye chuckled and continued, "If we can take it apart, even though it's been soaked in water, we can still sell it for a good price."
The large ship sank not very deep, only about ten meters.
You can dive naked, but you can't stay afloat for long before you have to surface for air, let alone do any work.
Therefore, diving equipment is necessary.
He added, "If all else fails, I can dive and catch seafood, right? I'll lose money if I buy it anyway, so it'll definitely come in handy."
"Now that you mention it, it's definitely worth a try."
Feng Xuan nodded, which was taken as agreement.
"So, is the diving equipment my personal property, or...?"
“Let’s chip in together. Ah-Can listens to you the most, so he shouldn’t have any objections.”
"Then you'll have to spend another sum of money, bro."
"Anyway, I don't have any money right now, so you'll have to cover it first," Feng Xuan said with a smile. "Ah Can is probably in a similar situation to me..."
Since buying the Rising Sun, his income has been exactly the same as Ah Can's.
He didn't have much money left, and Ah-Can was about the same.
"Damn, I've been ripped off."
Feng Ye slapped his thigh, pretending to have suffered a great loss.
"Haha, you brought it up, and you're the only one with the money. What else can we do if you don't pay for it first?"
Feng Xuan laughed and patted Feng Ye on the shoulder.
"Fine, I'll cover it then. You'll still owe me money eventually, so you'll have to pay me back," Feng Ye said helplessly.
After dinner, Feng Ye talked to Ye Qingling about the matter and took another 10,000 yuan.
The reason for bringing so much money is to be prepared for any eventuality, in case we don't have enough money to buy diving equipment and a net-hauling machine, which would be a problem.
After Ye Qingling understood the reason, although she was a little reluctant, she still gave it to him.
After receiving the money, he turned around and handed it to Feng Xuan...
...
For the next three days, Feng Xuan was not there; only Feng Ye and A Can continued their voyage at sea.
The catch from the fish traps over the past three days has been decreasing each day, mainly consisting of small lobsters, while the abalone catch is inconsistent, sometimes even slightly more.
Nevertheless, their gains over these three days were also remarkable.
Besides abalone and baby lobster, the other seafood sold for a little over two thousand yuan in three days.
The loss of one person on the ship did affect the profits somewhat, but not significantly.
The abalone and baby lobsters made a fortune, earning nearly 10,000 yuan after deducting the five percent from the Feng family's share.
The money from the past few days hasn't been split yet; it's all in Ye Qingling's hands.
...
On the fourth day, Feng Xuan finally returned.
When Feng Ye and A Can returned from their sea voyage, they saw a large ship moored in the deep water outside the dock.
This ship is too big.
It's a whole size bigger than the Rising Sun, and it looks incredibly imposing.
Because the draft is too deep, even with the tide now high, it is impossible to dock.
"Brother Ye, is that our boat?"
Ah-Can's eyes widened, his voice filled with excitement and exhilaration.
Feng Ye smiled and glanced at the excited A-Can, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be correct."
Dongtou Village has large boats, but none this big; they only reach about thirty meters in length, and their appearance is also different.
"Let's go, let's go up and take a look."
The Rising Sun sped up and headed straight for the large ship.
When you get closer, you can see it more clearly.
The boat has been repainted, and the whole thing has been painted red, so you can't tell if it's new or old.
The words "Harvest" were painted in white on the bow of the ship.
