Feng Jiaqing brought over a 12-meter delivery boat, which could easily hold the cargo weighing around 1 kilogram.
While they were talking, the others were already loading baskets of goods onto the small boat.
After all the goods were moved, everyone quickly went to pack their luggage.
Feng Ye had originally planned to take the quilt back as well, since he had been sleeping on it for more than a month and it was time to wash it.
Moreover, the humidity at sea is high, and the blankets get damp. They can't be used without airing them out.
The small boat was packed full of goods, leaving no extra space.
There were miscellaneous fish and shrimp everywhere, and the smell was fishy and strong. If the blankets got on them, they would definitely smell fishy and stinky.
For now, we can only leave the blankets on the boat and retrieve them in the afternoon or at other free time.
Afterwards, he, Feng Xuan, and A-Can checked all the cabins on the ship to make sure nothing was missed.
Only then did he lock all the cabins that needed to be locked, and jump onto the small boat.
On the shore, a group of people were already waiting.
Besides the sisters Xiao Chunxiu and Ye Qingling who came from his home at the beginning, Du Guilan and Feng Jialing, a married couple, also came.
In addition, several women were hired to help.
Although there was no sun today, the temperature was still quite high.
These fish and shrimp we brought back need to be processed quickly, otherwise they'll spoil.
The three families alone definitely can't handle it all; they need to find someone to help.
As soon as the small boat docked, everyone rushed forward to unload the cargo.
"Hurry up and unload all the goods, and be quick about it..."
"Oh, this cart is too small, it can't carry more than a few baskets at a time. I forgot to borrow a few."
"Luckily it's close by, it only takes a few minutes to get there..."
Everyone was busy carrying baskets of fish and shrimp from the boat to the shore, chatting away, creating a lively atmosphere.
It's clear that everyone is very happy.
Even the women who came to help had smiles on their faces and kept saying nice things.
After all, who wouldn't be happy if they could make money?
They didn't help for nothing.
Feng Ye carried several baskets of fish and suddenly thought of a question: What will the weather be like in the next two or three days?
If it rains, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?
The people were hired for nothing, even though money was spent on them.
Although it's not much, it's still an expense.
Last time, it rained on the way back, so we had to throw the fish and shrimp we had brought back back into the sea.
Let's hope that this doesn't happen again.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Ye Qingling who was busy, and asked, "Qingling, did you watch the weather forecast last night?"
"Yes, I saw it."
"What does the weather forecast say? Is it going to rain?"
Ye Qingling thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the sun will start shining tomorrow."
Hearing this answer, Feng Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good."
It's good that it's not raining.
Otherwise, the fish and shrimp can't be dried; it would be better to just dump them into the sea now.
A group of people kept moving and lifting, and the carts went back and forth between the dock and the workshop.
It took a long time before all the goods were finally transferred to the workshop.
Seeing this, Xiao Mingshi and the other three picked up their luggage, said goodbye to Feng Ye, and prepared to go home.
Feng Ye urged, "Why don't you eat before you go back? I'll ask A-Ling to cook a few dishes; it'll be quick."
"No, it's the same if we eat at home."
All four of them were eager to go home at that moment, and had no intention of staying for dinner.
"Alright then."
Feng Ye didn't insist any further. "Your blankets are still on the boat. Do you want to take them down and air them out?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"I'll go get it after I finish eating. You can come and pick it up sometime this afternoon."
"Alright, we'll head back now."
The four of them then hurriedly left the dock and headed home.
At this time, the workshop was already bustling with activity.
The women, wearing sleeves and holding knives, skillfully gutted the fish, cleaning out their internal organs with swift and practiced movements.
The miscellaneous fish were quickly cleaned by their hands and thrown into a basket to wait for washing and marinating.
Meanwhile, he kept talking, chatting about everyday things, and occasionally letting out a hearty laugh.
Looking at the bustling scene in the workshop, Feng Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
Right now, we're just hiring a few temporary workers, and they're on a day-to-day basis; there's no work every day.
Once the fishing boat is in hand, it will dock every day or two to bring back miscellaneous fish and shrimp. That way, there will be fish to kill every day, and work to do every day.
At that time, we will no longer be able to hire temporary workers, but will have to hire permanent workers and pay them monthly.
Actually, there is one fixed one now, and that is Ye Qingyu.
However, it's estimated that she won't be able to collect her wages for much longer.
Feng Ye walked around the workshop, then walked up to Ye Qingling and asked, "When did A-Yu arrive?"
“She called a few days ago to ask if I was busy. I figured you guys had been gone for so long, it was about time you came back, so I asked her to come over.”
"Oh, how is Mother's foot? Is it better?"
"Much better, I can walk a little now. But I can't walk for too long, and I can't stand for too long either. I still need to rest for a while."
Feng Ye nodded: "That's good."
The old saying, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone," is absolutely true.
My mother-in-law's foot will probably need another month or two to fully recover.
However, being able to walk is already a great achievement.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Go eat first, the food is still warming up in the pot."
"Yes, I haven't eaten yet."
Feng Ye responded and whispered, "You're pregnant now, don't overwork yourself. Let them do these chores, you go and rest."
"I'm fine. I'm still early in my pregnancy, it's nothing to worry about."
Ye Qingling shook her head. "I know what I'm doing. I'll stand up and walk around after sitting for a while."
"Don't worry about me, go eat."
Seeing Ye Qingling's insistence, Feng Ye smiled helplessly, called out to A-Can and Ye Chenliang, and turned to leave the workshop.
As for Feng Xuan, he will definitely eat at his own home.
He simply couldn't be bothered to waste his breath.
The three of them finished their meal quickly, grabbed the keys, and sailed back to the Dong Sheng in their small boat, bringing back everyone's blankets.
Then, I didn't go anywhere else that afternoon; I just worked in the workshop.
More people mean more strength.
Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to process these fish and shrimp.
