Tangtang's beautiful photos
(I'm thinking of changing the cover image to this, what do you guys think?)
Thinking that Ah Huang at home hadn't had lunch yet, Grandma Chen packed up all the remaining dishes and also ordered two large boxes of rice.
Grandma Chen spends the most time with Ah Huang at home. In the old lady's eyes, Ah Huang is like Chen Zhiyao's younger brother.
Grandma Chen deserves a lot of credit for Ah Huang's growth into the chubby, fair-skinned creature he is today.
Chen Weiqiang had previously ordered two 1-kilometer-long gillnets for the new fishing boat, as well as some new crab traps and ground traps.
After leaving the restaurant, he drove his van to the fishing tackle shop.
The remaining few people happily sailed home in their newly purchased fishing boat.
Inside the cockpit, Captain Chen Zhiyao was skillfully steering the fishing boat, while the other three sat behind her on small stools.
"How about we name the new ship 'Peaceful Ship'? It sounds really nice."
Grandma Chen was very attached to this name, as if calling it would bless everyone to return safely from every voyage.
Grandpa Chen was about to say that the name was too ordinary when his wife glared at him, so he immediately changed his mind:
"Peace is a blessing, this is a good name."
With Yan Shuting's vote, the name "Ping An Hao" was approved by a large margin.
Meanwhile, Chen Weiqiang, who was busy at the fishing tackle shop, was completely ignored by everyone.
The group immediately decided on a name for the new fishing boat: Ping An (Peaceful) Boat.
When Grandpa Chen was shopping, he also bought white spray paint.
As soon as she returned to the village dock, Chen Zhiyao took spray paint and sprayed the three large characters "Ping An Hao" on both sides of the fishing boat.
After spraying, he proudly took a few photos and sent them to two family group chats.
Although the village's dock was rather deserted, there were still quite a few people fishing there, and many others were gathering seafood nearby.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao put her phone away, many people came over to inquire.
Yan Shuting gave a few perfunctory words and then took her whole family home.
Nothing major happened in the village, but the news that the Chen family had bought a new fishing boat spread throughout Baisha Village in just one afternoon.
Some people speculated that the Chen family might have recently struck it rich, given their sudden purchase of a new fishing boat.
Chen Zhiyao opened the gate to the courtyard and saw Ah Huang standing guard beside her, his eyes revealing a hint of grievance.
Cute Ah Huang (ignore the background, just look at Ah Huang)
Chen Zhiyao was just about to comfort the little guy when she saw it trot over to Grandma Chen's side, wagging its tail.
"Woof woof woof..."
Ah Huang, who was starving, looked eagerly at the food that Grandma Chen had brought back, his face showing his desire to eat.
"You must be starving. You'll be able to eat soon."
Grandma Chen patted Ah Huang's big head like she was coaxing a child, then quickly walked to its special food bowl.
The old lady had just finished feeding Ah Huang when Chen Zhiyao and her daughter prepared the things they would be offering at the Sea God Temple later.
This is a local custom: whether buying a boat, a car, or a house, people go to the Sea God Temple to offer prayers and seek the Sea God's blessing.
…………
Today is the new ship's first day at sea, and Chen Zhiyao woke up automatically before the alarm clock even went off.
The room was pitch black. I picked up my phone and saw it was only 5:10.
However, Chen Zhiyao was not sleepy at all at this time. She happily changed her clothes and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
She thought she was already quite early, but when she was brushing her teeth, she smelled a familiar seafood scent.
Needless to say, it must be clam rice noodles made by my grandma.
When Chen Zhiyao went down to the living room, she found that everyone in the family was already up, and she was the last one to get up.
Grandpa Chen even brought back the large shrimp he used for fishing; no one knows what time the old man got up.
Yan Shuting also has to take care of the convenience store and the courier station, while Grandma Chen has to take care of the chickens in the orchard and the shrimp in the shrimp pond.
Therefore, this time, it was still Chen Zhiyao and her two grandchildren who went out to sea.
Chen Weiqiang brought back a lot of fishing gear from the store yesterday. Since the tricycle couldn't hold it all, the three of them drove the van directly to the dock.
The various fishing gear that the small fishing boat used before had already been moved to their new boat yesterday.
The group left early today and arrived at the beach just in time for the sunrise.
Sunrise at sea
"So beautiful."
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson waited for less than two minutes before the deliveryman arrived with gasoline and ice.
The family's fishing boat is 12.8 meters long, which is much larger than the 7.8-meter boat they rented before.
It cost a whopping 2,800 dollars to fill the ship with gasoline and ice from the freezer compartment.
Today is the first time this boat has set sail. The three of them plan to go to a remote island and test the fishing boat's fuel consumption.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao entered the cockpit, she felt full of energy and shouted enthusiastically:
"Let's go!"
The three of them were going to an uninhabited island near Windmill Island.
On the back of the island is a large rocky beach, where various kinds of conch are abundant, and the locals call it Conch Island.
As soon as the fishing boat started, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to turn on the fish finder on the boat.
The fishing boat was moving very fast, and the fish finder's display was constantly changing, showing the underwater conditions.
This latest fish finder is truly remarkable; it provides a crystal-clear view of the underwater environment.
You can even see the size and shape of the fish in the sea.
Actually, it's not much different from Chen Zhiyao's X-ray vision glasses, and it can see even further.
The fish finder cost over 20,000 yuan, and Chen Zhiyao felt it was well worth the money.
With a fish finder to locate schools of fish and then using X-ray glasses to pinpoint their exact location, the two work together to make fishing much more efficient.
When the boat was halfway there, Chen Zhiyao suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Dad, Grandpa, there are schools of fish in the water ahead. They're not very big, and they look like yellowfin tuna or pomfret. They're all in the upper layer of the water, and we can catch them with a net."
Chen Weiqiang quickly took out the 1-kilometer fine-mesh tensioning net that he had just received yesterday.
Chen Zhiyao steered the fishing boat slowly toward the location of the school of fish.
As the fishing boat moved forward, Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather lowered the fishing net little by little.
After circling the surface of the sea, the net trapped the school of fish.
After the three waited patiently for half an hour, Chen Weiqiang calmly operated the crane at the stern of the boat and pulled up the net.
This was the first net cast from the new boat, and everyone had high hopes for it. As the net was pulled up, everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to blink.
