After finishing their meal, they bought diesel fuel and prepared fresh water for the next day.
As for food, both boats had plenty of rice noodles and noodles.
As soon as they got back on the ship, Xiao Guowen said impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, let's go out to sea."
"Huh, now? Not sleeping anymore?"
"Can't we sleep on the road? Why do we have to sleep at the dock? Besides, once we get to the fishing grounds, if we're not in a hurry to cast our nets, we can find a place to anchor and sleep."
Feng Ye turned to look at the other three.
Ah-chan looked confused, clearly unaware of the situation.
Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui remained calm, showing no surprise at Xiao Guowen's suggestion.
"Did the three of you plan this out beforehand?"
"Um."
"Alright, since you're all so enthusiastic, I, as the boss, can't hold you back."
Feng Ye shook his head helplessly, "However, the Rising Sun needs to be checked before setting off, since it crashed this afternoon."
"It's time to get it checked."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The inspection is actually very simple; just go into the water and check the impact site for cracks.
The Rising Sun was covered with a layer of sheet metal, as long as the sheet metal is intact, it's fine.
If it's a purely wooden boat, it's much more complicated; you'll need to hire a professional craftsman.
The inspection was completed in a short time.
Seeing Feng Ye emerge from the water, Xiao Guowen asked, "How is it? Are you alright?"
"No problem, the impact wasn't serious, the sheet metal is only slightly deformed."
Everyone was delighted to hear Feng Ye's answer.
After all, it won't interfere with making money.
"Then we can set sail without worry."
Xiao Guowen clapped his hands excitedly and ran to the driver's seat.
By the time Feng Ye climbed onto the boat and got dressed, the diesel engine was already running.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Ye decided to take another boat so that his father and Feng Jialing could get some sleep.
He had already slept for more than three hours and was in relatively good spirits for the time being.
Without hesitation, he hopped onto the boat next to him.
Feng Jiaqing and his men also heard the voices from the Rising Sun and made preparations for setting sail.
When Feng Ye told them, they all readily agreed.
They had worked all day and were indeed tired.
Besides, it's already past midnight, so it's time to get some rest.
As the ship's engine roared to life, it slowly sailed away from the dock and headed towards the fishing grounds.
The sea shimmered, and the reflections of the moon and stars danced on the water, as if guiding their way.
Feng Ye looked back and saw the Rising Sun closely following behind. Through the window, he could see Xiao Guowen's blurry figure.
More than three hours later, Feng Ye anchored his fishing boat near an uninhabited island off the coast of the island.
It's still early, only a little past two o'clock. There's no rush to do the netting work; I'll take a nap first.
Xiao Guowen, unaware of his intentions, steered the Rising Sun closer and asked, "Why did you stop?"
"Take a break first, recharge your energy, and start working again in a few hours."
Feng Ye replied, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue.
He hadn't slept long enough; he hadn't had enough sleep.
"Then sleep a little longer."
Xiao Guowen nodded, brought the Rising Sun closer, and the two ships were brought close together. After picking up Feng Ye, they moved away a little and anchored.
Feng Ye handed him a cigarette and lit one for himself: "You guys are a bit too enthusiastic. Even Ah Can and I can't compare to you."
"Isn't the point of coming out here to make money?"
Xiao Guowen exhaled a smoke ring. "Besides, such a good opportunity to make money only lasts for about a month, right? Of course we have to seize it and be proactive."
"If you earn more, won't our commission also be higher?"
Feng Ye asked curiously, "I can understand them, but Brother Wen, you're not short of money, are you? Why are you so enthusiastic?"
"Of course we're short of them! How could we not be short of them?"
"I don't believe you! You sold your dried fish to us, of course we know how much money you made."
"We made a lot of money, but the costs were also high. The real profit was less than 10,000 yuan."
"Isn't that enough?"
"What's a penny more? It's not even a fraction of what you guys earn."
"You're exaggerating. The profit margin for us buying dried fish is actually very thin."
“But you have a large volume, shipping 10,000 to 20,000 catties a day. Even if you only make a few cents a catty, you can still make several thousand yuan in profit.”
Feng Ye smiled but didn't reply. He looked up at the sky.
When we came out, we could still see the stars, but now they're all covered by thick clouds.
Even the moon was barely visible, constantly disappearing into the clouds and not appearing for a long time.
"Looks like there won't be any sun tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guowen also looked up at the sky.
"The weather might change; hopefully tomorrow will be cloudy."
"If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, no one can stop her. It's best if it doesn't rain, otherwise we can't do our homework and will have to go home."
"Actually, light rain is fine, you can still get dry by wearing a raincoat. The problem is when it rains heavily."
"We'll talk about it later, I'm going to sleep."
Feng Ye flicked his finger, sending the cigarette butt into the sea, and then turned and went into the cabin.
Xiao Guowen threw away his cigarette butt and followed him into the cabin to sleep.
"It's so nice to sleep here, with only the sound of waves, so peaceful. It's a shame you guys have been sleeping for days in such a noisy place like the dock."
Feng Ye simply gave a soft "hmm" and didn't pay him any further attention.
If we keep talking, we won't need to sleep.
