"The rising sun brings auspicious purple clouds from the east; water gathers at the center of the sky, bringing abundant wealth. How about we name it 'Purple Clouds' or 'Eastward Arrival'? Which do you think is better?"
"Let's go with the Purple Aura. It sounds more imposing and mysterious."
"Alright, let's call it the Purple Aura Ship. If we buy a fourth ship later, we can name it the Eastward Ship."
Actually, these ship names won't be used for very long.
There are currently no relevant policies or laws in place, and fishing boats are not yet numbered, so people can name their boats as they please.
In March 1998, the "Regulations on the Names of Fishing Vessels" were introduced, stipulating that all fishing vessels must be named in accordance with unified regulations.
The ship's name is now reduced to the abbreviation of the province and county, the character "渔" (fishing), and a 5-digit number.
Feng Jialing watched their discussion without interrupting.
After they finished speaking, he said, "Since we've decided on the name 'Dongsheng,' let's paint over the original markings and paint the new name on it while we're painting."
Let's go to the county shipyard. You're more familiar with it, and you can also check on the progress of the ship you ordered.
Feng Ye agreed, "That's a good idea. We can go to the county shipyard for painting and repairs, and at the same time check on the construction progress of the Ziqi ship. It's a win-win situation."
Ah-Can chimed in, "Yes, I can't wait to see what the Purple Aura ship looks like. I hope it can be delivered to us as soon as possible."
Ideally, it should be before the end of the year, but at the latest, it should be before the croaker season next year.
In that case, next year we will have two large ships, plus the Rising Sun and the small cargo ship, which will give us a small fleet.
Then we can catch more small yellow croakers and earn more money!
Ah-Can became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, as if he could already see the scene of a bumper harvest at the Haizhongzhou fishing grounds next year.
"Alright, stop daydreaming. Once we get to the shipyard, we'll ask Director Li and find out roughly when it will be delivered."
