Captain Lin was also surprised when he heard Lin Qingmei say that she wanted to go to the port city. Although when Grandpa Lin was still alive, he often took people in the village to exchange food for islands on the sea, but Qingmei had never been there!
"Who are you going with? Why don't you take your Second and Third Masters Lin with you? They are both very tight-lipped. They used to work on long-distance ships. Your grandfather used to take them with him when he went out to exchange food. Although our village's fishing boats can't go to the open sea, they can still go to the port city. Now that the weather is cold, there won't be many fish to catch at sea. You can just drive our village's fishing boat out."
The grain production in Linjiawan this year is not very high, and there is not much left for the villagers after the rice is harvested. Captain Lin has been worried about food these days, but he didn't expect Lin Qingmei to give him such a big surprise today.
He had tried before to have people go to nearby islands to exchange food in the name of going out to sea, but the people in the village were timid and only dared to go to nearby small islands to exchange food. They simply did not have the courage to go to the port city.
"That's fine. I'll go look for them later. But Second Master Lin and Third Master Lin are not young anymore. Are they still willing to go out to sea?"
Lin Erye and Lin Sanye were the boatmen of Grandpa Lin. They had been sailing with Grandpa Lin for decades and were familiar with all the nearby islands. So Captain Lin proposed that they accompany Lin Qingmei to the sea for her safety. It was easy to lose direction at sea, and with two old boatmen accompanying her to the sea, these problems were easily solved.
"If others ask them to come out of the mountain, they may refuse, but you won't. Your grandfather has done them a favor, so they will definitely agree to your request."
...........
When Lin Qingmei approached Lin Erye and Lin Sanye, they agreed without hesitation, just as the captain had said. They agreed to meet at the pier at 9:30 pm, and then they went home to prepare.
All the things that were missing on the fishing boat were prepared by Master Lin Er and Master Lin San, while Lin Qingmei was responsible for food and diesel.
She has diesel in her space, so she just needs to go home and prepare some food.
Lin Qinglan knew she was in the wrong, so she planned to prepare some more dry food for her sister to take with her on the road. As there were some oil residue and vermicelli at home, she simply kneaded all the flour at home and made oil residue and vermicelli buns.
Time passed quickly and it was 9:30 in the evening. When Lin Qingmei and her sister walked to the pier, Master Lin Er and Master Lin San were already waiting for them.
"Lan Zi, go and bring them over! Second Master, Third Master and I still need to clean up the fishing boat and add some oil to it."
There were only two fishing boats in Linjia Bay, one large and one small. The small one was too small and could only fish near the coast, such as shrimps and crabs. If they wanted to transport food, they had to use a large fishing boat. Today they were going to drive the large fishing boat, which had two rest rooms on board. However, since the previous crew members were all men who didn't like to clean, the rooms were smelly.
Lin Qingmei wanted to have a good rest on the boat, so she had to hold her nose and clean up the room.
On the other side, Tan Yan and Tan Hao were nervously waiting for Lin Qinglan at the beach. They had brought all their belongings out today. If they were cheated, they would not be able to return to the educated youth center.
"Swallow, do you think we have been deceived? This beach is so quiet and there is no one around."
"I believe Qinglan won't lie to me, brother, don't be too suspicious."
"I also hope she won't lie to us, otherwise I'll have to take someone with me before I die."
"Brother, look, there are people coming over there. It should be Sister Qinglan who is here to pick us up."
When Tan Yan saw the light of the flashlight, she ran forward with her luggage. Tan Hao, who was walking behind her, was almost dying of anxiety because he had no flashlight and the ground was full of luggage.
