Another day has passed.
They returned from their sea voyage early, just as the sun was setting, and the two boats docked.
Squid are becoming increasingly scarce, and the intervals between outbreaks are getting longer.
They worked from morning till night, and the two boats combined only yielded less than 1200 jin (600 catties) of fish.
After selling the goods caught in the trawling nets in the early morning and morning, and the tapes that Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing had pulled out underwater, Feng Ye and A Can headed to the workshop.
It's still early, I need to go to the workshop and help kill some fish for a while.
When they entered the workshop, everyone was already busy killing the squid that Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing had brought back earlier.
As soon as Ye Qingling saw them, she excitedly shouted, "Ah Ye, Fang Yi called this morning and asked you to go to the Intermediate People's Court tomorrow to complete the formalities and bring the boat back."
"real?"
Feng Ye was overjoyed.
My body, which had been a little tired after a busy day, instantly became refreshed.
Ever since Fang Yi told him about it on Mazu's birthday, he has been thinking about it.
Today, we've finally received this good news.
However, contrary to his expectations, he thought the boat was at the Municipal Bureau, but it turned out to be at the Intermediate Court.
But no matter where he is, as long as he has a quota, it's fine as long as he can drive back.
"Of course it's true, the call came around 10 a.m.
"Okay, okay."
Feng Ye was overjoyed and went over to ask in detail, "What did Fang Yi say on the phone?"
"They didn't say much, just told you to bring your ID card, household registration book, and other documents to the Intermediate People's Court to go to the enforcement bureau to complete the procedures. Oh, and you also need money."
"Is it 160,000? There hasn't been any change, right?"
"No, it's still 160,000."
"Okay, we won't go out to sea tomorrow, let's set sail."
Feng Ye was secretly delighted.
Just as the squid season was about to end, this ship arrived—it certainly came at the right time.
They can switch to this big boat and go fishing in more distant places.
As for using a 30-meter-long ship to catch squid, that's too unsuitable and wasteful; it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
We didn't see the Harvest ship catching squid; is it still going out for trawling?
The others standing nearby, listening to their conversation, were both curious and bewildered.
What kind of ship?
What procedures?
Still have money, 160,000?
What is all this nonsense?
Why can't they understand a single word?
At this moment, Ah Can seized an opportunity and asked eagerly, "Brother Ye, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What boat? Where did this boat come from?"
Seeing everyone's blank expressions, Feng Ye realized that he had been so happy that he had forgotten to explain to them.
Only he and Ye Qingling know about this; no one else is aware of it.
So he explained the whole story to everyone.
After listening, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Feng Jiaqing nodded and said, "Officer Fang has helped us so much, don't forget to thank him properly."
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't forget," Feng Ye said with a smile.
He was truly grateful to Fang Yi; he had really helped him a lot.
With this 30-meter-long boat, they can go to farther places for fishing operations in the future, and their harvest will definitely be greater.
"Brother Ye, this boat..."
Ah-Can hesitated for a moment, then hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed to continue.
Feng Ye understood his meaning and waved his hand, saying, "You and my brother each contribute 40,000, and we'll continue our partnership."
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly said, "Really? Brother Ye, that's great, thank you."
"Ah Ye, thank you for still taking care of your brother."
Du Guilan's eyes lit up, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "We're all family, why say such things?"
"Besides, I can't manage this boat by myself. With you and my brother on board, it will be much easier for me."
"Besides, didn't we already say we'd buy a big ship together?"
"Don't forget, the reason we had my brother work on the Harvest was precisely to prepare for this big ship, wasn't it?"
Ah-Can nodded repeatedly, overjoyed and at a loss for words.
Feng Jialing suddenly spoke up: "Ah Ye, there's suddenly another boat, a 30-meter-long one at that. Can you handle it?"
“Yes, you’re definitely going to get on the big ship, right? So what about this one?” Feng Jiaqing said.
"this……"
Feng Ye frowned.
He had never really thought about this issue before.
"How about we rent it out?" Ah-Can suggested.
“I think it’s feasible. It’s not good for the ship to stay at the dock. We can’t just sell it, can we?”
Feng Jiaqing nodded in agreement, saying, "Renting it out is one way; we can make some money that way."
Feng Jialing chimed in, "Yes, rent it out. Just rent it out this year. We'll have to wait until after the croaker season next year to avoid any disputes."
"Father, you're right, that's how it should be done."
Ah-Can continued, "Selling them would be too much of a loss. Next year we're going to Hai Zhong Zhou to catch small yellow croakers. It's such a good way to make money, why would we let others make it for us?"
Feng Ye was originally considering whether to sell the small delivery boat and keep the Rising Sun for delivery.
But after listening to their words, he suddenly felt that renting it out was a better idea.
Whether it's the Rising Sun or the cargo ship, selling them would be a huge loss.
This year's croaker season lasted just over a month, but after deducting costs, the two boats earned them more than 140,000 yuan.
Next year, with their larger ships, they can take two boats deep into the fishing grounds and won't need to fish outside the fishing grounds anymore.
They can bring enough people to keep the boats running non-stop for twenty hours a day.
The catch doesn't need to be brought ashore every day to be sold; large ships can be used to contact fresh catch ships to sell the fish directly at sea.
Although the price will be lower, the time saved on travel will definitely make you earn more.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."
"Then who will it be rented to?"
When Ah-Can asked this question, Xiao Chunxiu, Du Guilan, and Aunt Ling all twitched their lips, as if they had something to say.
They all wanted to take care of their own families and rented the boat to them.
But since there was only one ship, they could guess what the others were thinking, and none of them dared to speak first.
However, Feng Ye's next words temporarily dispelled their thoughts.
He said, "Well, let's discuss this after the squid season is over. There's no rush now."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that what he said made sense.
Although the squid season is almost over, several hundred kilograms of squid can still be caught every day.
Even if the price drops to a very low level now, it's still worth several hundred yuan.
Moreover, as long as the weather permits, they don't sell the squid; they dry it and earn even more.
They're definitely going to earn this money themselves; how could it possibly go to someone else?
