Chen Zhiyao was so excited last night when they discussed ordering a fishing boat that she didn't go to sleep until after midnight.
When I woke up, I found it was already 9 o'clock.
Chen Weiqiang, who was in a hurry to go to the shipyard to order a ship, saw that his daughter had not come down yet, so he went to the door to call her.
"Tangtang, are you up yet? We're going to the shipyard later, so hurry up."
"Oh, get up, it'll be ready soon."
Chen Zhiyao hurriedly got out of bed, quickly changed her clothes, and then went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
The style and configuration of the fishing boat were discussed last night, and today only Chen Weiqiang and Chen Zhiyao will go to the shipyard to order the boat.
Before leaving, Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen each transferred 90,000 yuan to Chen Weiqiang.
The three of them had already agreed that they would split the cost of buying the fishing boat and other equipment equally.
As for fishing gear such as fishing nets, crab traps, and bottom traps, they were kindly provided by Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang.
The two fishing nets Chen Zhiyao has are too small, so Chen Weiqiang plans to order some larger fishing nets for the new boat.
He needs to order a batch of larger crab traps and fish traps, as he feels the original ones are too small.
However, we can't waste the original ones; we'll mix them together and use them later.
This way, Chen Zhiyao could secretly mix the cages in the system together.
Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather knew that they couldn't compare to their daughter/granddaughter when it came to fishing.
We already agreed last night that, just like when Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen went out to sea before, they would each keep their own catch from fishing and beachcombing.
Chen Zhiyao suggested that the catch of fishing nets, crab traps, and ground traps be divided equally among everyone.
No one in the family knew about the system. Everything on the boat was bought together, and the catch of fish was divided equally without any objection.
When the father and daughter arrived at the shipyard, they were greeted by Manager Zhao, just like yesterday.
When he saw the two return to book the boat, Manager Zhao was beaming with joy.
The father and daughter ordered a 12.8-meter fiberglass fishing boat, but they had a lot of extra requirements.
Besides the driver's cab, there should be three small rooms and a small living room. They can be small, but they are essential.
The bathroom and kitchen should be made more spacious.
Both live fish tanks, one large and one small, should be designed to be separated by a partition.
In addition to separating the catches, some aggressive fish also need to be housed in separate rooms.
...
After Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang finished stating their various requests, Manager Zhao wiped the sweat from his brow and stammered, "..."
“These can all be done, but there will be a lot of modifications, and the labor and consumables will also increase, so the total price will be 10,000 yuan more.”
When asked to suddenly raise the price by 10,000 yuan, Chen Zhiyao was naturally unwilling. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Weiqiang, who was standing next to her, gave her a look that said, "Take it easy."
Chen Weiqiang is a boss himself, so he knows there are huge profits to be made here.
With his silver tongue, he managed to reduce the total price from 230,000 to 222,000.
The shipyard's rule is that half of the deposit must be paid before construction can begin.
After agreeing on the price and requirements, Chen Weiqiang directly transferred 111,000 yuan to the shipyard.
When Chen Weiqiang went to the fishing tackle shop, it mostly sold fishing gear, but it didn't have fish finders or small hoists for seine nets.
The two then went to a store that specialized in selling this product.
Fish finders are crucial; you could say that whether you catch fish or not depends entirely on them.
The father and daughter looked at all the fish finders in the store and finally settled on a newly released one.
According to the owner, this is currently the best-selling fish finder, but it's a bit pricey at 20,000 yuan.
However, since we've already bought a fishing boat for 220,000, another 20,000 won't make a difference.
However, the fishing boat hasn't arrived yet, so the two of them are just learning about the fish finder first. They can only buy it after the fishing boat arrives.
After seeing the fish finder, the two went to a store that specializes in selling large equipment. After careful selection, they finally chose a small to medium-sized crane.
The crane on the fishing boat we rented before was smaller, but it was more powerful and easier to operate.
However, the price is also quite high, costing over 30,000 yuan.
Fortunately, apart from these two large items, the other smaller items didn't cost much.
Chen Zhiyao followed Chen Weiqiang back to the fishing tackle shop, and the two discussed what else they needed to buy for the fishing boat.
"Three single beds, a small sofa in the living room, and the things in the kitchen..."
These things may seem trivial, but they add up to a considerable amount of money.
The father and daughter calculated that, including the fishing boat, it would cost around 300,000 yuan.
Chen Weiqiang had been clamoring to buy a new ship, but now that he's calculated the total cost, he's starting to feel the pinch.
Chen Zhiyao was in a good mood, after all, she had a system.
The total price is 300,000 yuan, with 100,000 yuan per person, which she can afford.
And it's estimated that we can break even in about a month.
Grandpa and Dad have a lucky fishing rod, so their catch will be good. They should be able to earn back the money they spent on the boat in a little over a month.
The new fishing boat wouldn't arrive for another month, and as soon as she returned to the village, Chen Zhiyao went to see Aunt Hehua without stopping.
They rented the small fishing boat they used before.
When renting the boat, Aunt Hehua subtly tried to sell her her own fishing boat, wanting to sell the small fishing boat to Chen Zhiyao.
"Auntie, we've already ordered a new ship from the shipyard."
Aunt Lotus knew that she had already ordered a new fishing boat from the shipyard, and a look of disappointment crossed her face.
If Chen Zhiyao had bought her own boat before, this small fishing boat would have been enough.
But now that the grandfather and father have also joined in going out to sea, this boat is too small; a 12.8-meter boat would be more suitable.
As she walked home from Aunt Lotus's house, she encountered many people carrying buckets to the beach to collect seafood.
After buying a new fishing boat, Chen Zhiyao's savings of 200,000 yuan dwindled to only 100,000 yuan.
Thinking of her empty pockets, Chen Zhiyao hurried home and then took her bucket to go beachcombing.
When Chen Weiqiang saw his daughter carrying a bucket out the door, he assumed she was going fishing and was about to go with her.
Knowing she was going to go beachcombing, he immediately lost interest and then dragged Grandpa Chen along to the previously exposed secret fishing spot.
Chen Weiqiang drove the electric tricycle away, so Chen Zhiyao had to drive her own electric car to Baisha Beach.
The tide had just started to recede, but many people who made their living by the sea had already come to wait for it.
Hardworking people will never go hungry, no matter where they are. When Chen Zhiyao arrived, these people were already shucking oysters.
When she went to Guangzhou before, she had been saving up her X-ray glasses for a long time, and Chen Zhiyao turned them on as soon as she arrived at the beach.
There were many small crabs and clams hiding under the sand, but they were too small, so she ignored them.
She had only taken a few steps when she spotted two cat's-eye snails that the sea had ruthlessly left on the shore.
The two little guys had just been stranded and hadn't even had a chance to lie down on the sand before Chen Zhiyao picked them up.
Cat's Eye Snail +2
Just then, several voices came from behind, and more and more people came to gather seafood.
