The next morning.
Wu An opened his eyes before the alarm clock rang.
Being young is great.
Once a biological clock is established, you will wake up naturally.
I chatted with Gu Anran until midnight yesterday.
Originally, Gu Anran knew he was going out to sea and planned to chat for a bit before going to sleep.
As a result, every time we said goodnight, he would start a conversation and we would chat again.
When he started yawning repeatedly, Gu Anran got anxious and told him to go to sleep, as it's not good to doze off at sea.
Wu An then realized it was already 1 a.m. Gu Anran simply said goodnight and hung up the phone.
Wu An put down his phone and thought about it for a moment.
What did you talk about for so long?
In the end, we didn't talk about anything much, just rambling on and on.
I might as well check my luck stat.
Upon closer inspection...
It really excited him.
Luck value: 315 (188)
This is the start of a fortune.
Longline fishing, which has been dormant for a long time, can make a comeback.
I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m., and it's only 6 a.m. now. I've only slept for less than 4 hours in total.
I'm a bit sleep-deprived.
But it's not a big problem.
Now that Old Fu is sailing the boat, he can catch up on his sleep once he gets on board.
Before he could make the call, Aqing called back, saying that everything was ready and Li Juan had even boiled a lot of eggs so they could eat them in the morning.
Wu An said, "See you at the dock."
He called Old Fu again, and the latter said he was waiting for his call.
Put down your phone.
Wu An quickly tidied up, washed up, and went straight out.
He definitely didn't have time to wash the dirty clothes he changed out of last night. His sister-in-law would come and take them away later. He was thinking of buying a washing machine, but his sister-in-law didn't agree, saying that the washing machine at home was the one he had just bought.
If Wu An doesn't need it, they won't either.
Hearing his sister-in-law say that, Wu An stopped being coy.
...
We arrived at the dock.
As usual, I bought a lot of soy milk.
A bite of egg, a sip of soy milk.
After finishing their meal, Old Fu arrived.
I went to Lao Xie's shop and got a lot of bait, mostly worthless dead fish and rotten shrimp, but it still cost me a few hundred yuan. For fishermen, this is a cost that they have to bear.
If you go out to sea and don't find anything, the loss will be considerable.
Therefore, there are fewer and fewer fishermen now. It is hard work and not guaranteed to make money. In addition, during the fishing ban period, the weather is bad and they cannot go out to sea for a long time. Their income is not guaranteed regardless of drought or flood. Most importantly, it is dangerous.
Many fishermen who make money choose to switch to other professions.
If you ask those fishermen who have switched careers to go out to sea again, nine out of ten will be unwilling.
Going out to sea to fish is a job that's basically full of debuffs.
After greeting Lao Xie, Wu An and the other two boarded the boat.
He sent a message to Mai Hangyu saying that going to sea would probably take a day, and if anything happened, he could decide for himself. If he really couldn't make up his mind, he would ask Old Mai.
I was planning to attend the groundbreaking ceremony today, but I thought it wasn't really necessary. The main thing is that I have so much good luck today, and I can't let it go to waste.
Fortunately, I had Lao Mai have his lawyer friend look at the contract yesterday, and there were no traps, so he and Director Chen signed and stamped it yesterday.
The large tract of wasteland, covering more than ten acres, near the sea in Zhenzhong Village now belongs to him.
The villagers seemed even happier than he was.
For the village, that wasteland had no value, but now it generates more than 2,000 yuan in revenue a year, and Wu An has even contracted it for 50 years.
That's a profit of over 100,000.
Although it's an installment payment plan, the village is certain to receive this money.
After Wu An signed the document, everyone in the village committee shook hands with him.
Let him do a good job.
Strive to become a leader in getting rich.
If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to communicate with them, and they will do their best to help you solve them.
All sorts of compliments were showered on Wu An as if they were free, and the latter was overjoyed.
Everyone likes to hear nice things.
Moreover, he knew all too well how valuable this piece of wasteland near the sea he had contracted was!
Compared to his previous life, he fled in a sorry state.
Now, he has settled down in his hometown and owns his own business.
Things are different now.
Things are really different now.
Wu An leaned against the boat awning, covered his face with his hat, and slowly fell asleep as the fishing boat rocked.
When I woke up groggily, I heard Aqing shouting, "The water's out! The water's out!"
He rolled over.
The sunlight outside the boat shed was blazing, so bright and dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.
After squinting for a while to adjust, I could finally see that the winch was working, pulling the fish trap out of the seawater.
Aqing was overjoyed, dancing with delight; it seemed like she had a good harvest.
Old Fu wasn't steering the boat; he was helping to clean up the catch.
It seems that shrimp and crab are still the main ingredients.
Wu An braced himself with his hand and stood up.
I grabbed a bottle of water from the side, drank half of it, and used the other half to wash my face. I immediately felt refreshed.
I went over and helped them pick through the food.
As he worked, he realized that he was not as fast at picking as Lao Fu.
Despite his age, Old Fu is very quick and skillful, especially with his experience. With a quick grab, a flick, and a toss, the shrimp and crabs fly into the basket.
While the accuracy rate cannot be said to be 100%, it can also be said that there were no errors.
"Old Fu, you're something else." Wu An tried to grab it several times, but Old Fu beat him to it each time. He laughed and said, "You can take your time. There's no need to rush. Don't tire yourself out."
"Not tired, not tired. I have to make up for all that money." Old Fu smiled and said, his hands still moving. "Today's harvest looks pretty good. The money I've earned in the last two days is equivalent to half a month's work on Chen's fishing boat."
“Ah An, you’re the ship owner, just watch, there’s no need for you to do it yourself.”
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
After saying that.
They quickly scooped up the shrimp in front of Wu An and put them into the net cages of the live fish warehouse.
Wu An was both amused and exasperated.
Too lazy to say anything more to Old Fu, he walked to the other side, squatted down, and continued working.
As a result, Old Fu came over and tried to snatch it again.
Wu An got anxious: "Old Fu, I'm ordering you, you just stay there and do your work."
"Don't come and take my job."
"You need to show that I don't object."
“But as the boss, I need to do some work. If you try to stop me, then you're in the wrong.”
After saying that.
He was amused by it.
Old Fu laughed along, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "You're being too kind to me."
“What era are we living in now? We are all equal. There is no oppression or being oppressed.” Wu An paused, then continued, “A job should either pay well, be easy, or be close to home.”
"When we go out to sea to fish, we don't really get involved in anything, so of course the most important thing is to have fun."
"I'm not just saying this offhand; there's evidence to back it up."
"If you're relaxed at work, will you be even more focused on the ship? And will I be able to relax less?"
Old Fu thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "You're right."
"Young people becoming bosses really makes a difference."
“When I was working on my Chen family fishing boat, Old Master Chen would whip us to keep us going.”
"It's strange, really. The more he urged them, the more they dawdled."
"In the end, I ended up pleasing neither side."
At this point, Old Fu sighed heavily, his expression somewhat complicated.
Wu An smiled.
As a post-90s entrepreneur, he's definitely different from some old-fashioned bosses.
When those born in the 2000s start working, they will be very individualistic.
Reforming the workplace is no joke.
As for Old Fu not getting the short end of the stick, he was quite curious, but since Old Fu didn't bring it up, he didn't ask.
As Ah Qing finished tidying up the first row of fish traps, she overheard this gossip and asked curiously, "Why not just leave both ends?"
Old Fu hesitated: "I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you."
Aqing was even more curious: "Is it that funny? Then you have to tell us more so we can have a laugh."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Old Fu: "..."
Wu An's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Ah Qing, are you a devil?"
