March 23rd is the birthday of Mazu.
Around 8 a.m., Feng Ye took incense, candles, and firecrackers to the Tianhou Temple to offer prayers.
He did not attend the completion ceremony in the morning.
It's mainly because it's none of his business; he'd just be there to watch the fun.
He has been waiting at home ever since.
Today, the Tianhou Temple was unusually crowded, with people not only from the island but also from outside, all queuing up.
Fortunately, the main hall is now large enough to accommodate many people to worship together at the same time.
He only waited for about twenty minutes before it was his turn.
After a smooth procedure, Feng Ye knelt and kowtowed three times and made a wish before leaving the Tianhou Palace.
There's still plenty of time before the banquet starts, so it's better to go home and wait.
However, on their way down the mountain, they ran into Fang Yi, Wang Teng, and Zhang Qiang, who were going up the mountain.
They weren't wearing uniforms today; they were all dressed casually, looking like they were there to attend a celebration.
That's right, they each donated 500 yuan, so they got a free seat.
The council must have sent them invitations as well.
After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang went to queue up first, while Fang Yi stayed behind.
"I was planning to go to your house to find you later, but I didn't expect to run into you here. It saves me the trouble of making the trip."
Something was clearly wrong, but Feng Ye was puzzled.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Fang Yi asked with a puzzled look, "You didn't forget the favor you asked me to do, did you?"
Feng Ye was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
He genuinely couldn't recall ever asking Fang Yi to do anything.
"Holy crap, you really forgot?"
Seeing Feng Ye's blank expression, Fang Yi was speechless.
I went to great lengths to help, but the person in question didn't appreciate it at all.
"Here's a hint: the ship."
Feng Ye suddenly realized that he had asked Fang Yi to help him get a boat that had been confiscated from Changwei Island when he picked up people at the town's dock at the end of last year during his housewarming banquet.
After several months of silence, he gradually forgot about it.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't think of it at the moment."
He gave an awkward laugh, then his eyes lit up. "You got it sorted out?"
Fang Yi nodded: "Yes, it's all set. I got you one."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye's face lit up with joy: "Thank you so much."
"Don't rush to thank me. We did get you a boat, but there's a problem."
"What's wrong? Is it broken?"
"No, it's just that the boat you wanted was taken by someone else first, so I had to get you another one."
Feng Ye understood somewhat; he guessed that they hadn't managed to get a large ship, only a small one, which was why Fang Yi had said that.
"It's okay if we didn't get that big ship, the small one is fine too..."
"Ah, no, I got you an even bigger one because I was worried you didn't have enough money to buy it."
"What? Bigger?"
Feng Ye's eyes widened like saucers; he could hardly believe his ears.
He pressed on eagerly, "Really? Are you sure it's bigger?"
"Definitely and certainly."
"How big exactly is the ship?"
"It is 30 meters long and 5.5 meters wide."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye was overwhelmed with emotion.
To his utter surprise, Fang Yi had managed to procure such a massive ship for him.
He grabbed Fang Yi's hand and said excitedly, "Ah Yi, thank you so much. I've wanted a big ship like this for a long time."
"I've got the boat for you, but are you sure you can afford it? It's not cheap."
"It shouldn't be a problem. How much do you want?"
160,000.
Upon hearing the price, Feng Ye was immediately extremely satisfied.
You can get a 30-meter boat for 160,000 yuan. That's a great deal.
Although this ship is smaller than the Harvest, it is more expensive.
However, the price of a ship is not only influenced by its size.
There are also various factors such as the design of the hull, the layout of the cabins, the equipment provided, and the building materials used.
Therefore, one cannot determine the price of a ship solely based on its size.
Moreover, the official internal processing price is set at 160,000, so the configuration is definitely not low, and you will definitely not lose money by buying it.
"So, can you come up with that much money?"
Fang Yi asked with some concern.
He used his family connections to finally manage to snatch a boat.
If you give up in the end because you don't have enough money, then you've really done something wrong with good intentions.
“I can’t come up with that much money on my own, but I have my brother and Ah-chan, right? It won’t be a problem to take care of it.”
Feng Ye had no idea how much money her family had before; she didn't even know a rough estimate.
He usually doesn't pay attention to it, unless it's for a large sum of money, then he'll ask Ye Qingling.
This time, Ye Qingling deposited the money at the post office again. He looked at the passbook and realized how much savings his family had.
It's not a particularly large number, just a mere 120,000.
Including what's at home, it totals around 135,000.
He could easily afford to buy the ship, since he only needed to pay half the price.
"That's good."
Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll call you again when it's time to pay and set sail."
"How long will that take?"
"It's hard to say exactly when, but it'll probably take another month or so."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
"That's settled then, I'm going to offer incense."
