Chapter 067 Brothers’ Quarrel

Just like that, when they arrived at the fishing spot, most of the boats had caught some fish.

Their boats were big, so they naturally couldn’t bring back all the fish in one net.

When they arrived at the fishing spot, according to custom, everyone relied on their own abilities.

But after half a day, Lin Wanxia began to give orders again.

This time she assigned numbers to each fishing boat in advance.

The fishing boats themselves had numbers, but Lin Wanxia couldn’t remember so many four-digit numbers at once, so she just arranged them from the beginning.

Let them use paint to mark Arabic numerals such as one, two, three, five, and six on the conspicuous position of the boat.

This made it easier for Lin Wanxia to give orders quickly.

"Boat No. 3, shift 30 degrees to the left and cast the net."

"Boat No. 6, turn around."

"Boat No. 16, drive straight ahead for 500 meters."

"..."

Orders were issued one after another with Sun Dapeng's boat as the center.

More than twenty ships kept a distance of three to five nautical miles from each other and fanned around Sun Dapeng's ship.

In the end, all the ships returned with full loads.

The captains of the twenty or so ships were happy and excited.

They had never fished so efficiently before.

It was as if the fish were kept near their own ships, and they could catch fish as long as they followed Lin Wanxia's orders.

It cannot be said that the success rate was 100%, but it was 70%.

They didn't know that the remaining 30% was deliberately left empty-handed by Lin Wanxia, ​​otherwise they wouldn't know how to explain it when they got ashore.

This was probably their fastest and most lucrative trip out to sea.

It took less than ten days to go back and forth.

The fishmongers guarding the port were also very happy to see the fishermen's full harvest.

The more fish they caught, the more they would earn.

The happiest one was Lei Yanjun.

As Lin Wanxia's "exclusive agent", he naturally made more money.

Although Lin Wanxia didn't have a boat this time, Sun Dapeng did!

Sun Dapeng was Lin Wanxia's fanboy.

"Why are you waiting here so early?" Lin Wanxia asked Lei Yanjun, "Are you not going to run your barbecue stall?"

"I'll leave that stall to my parents. I was thinking that when you get a big boat, I can make a lot of money just by following you."

"Then you think too highly of me." Lin Wanxia laughed, but didn't say anything else.

Lei Yanjun looked around and came to Lin Wanxia's side. "Don't be happy too soon. Zhao Tiezhu was not very happy when his boat broke down, and you returned with a full load of fishermen. With his heart smaller than a needle's nose, he will definitely hold a grudge.

What's more, the fleet you led includes Zhao family relatives. Others may think well of you, but they may not.

Someone may have gone to Zhao Tiezhu to complain by now, so you'd better be careful!

The Zhao family will definitely cause trouble for you in the next two days."

***

Zhao Tiezhu was at home listening to the radio to tease the birds hanging under the eaves, when he saw Zhao Gangzhu barging in rashly.

"Brother, it's not good!"

Zhao Tiezhu frowned and said in disdain: "You are not good! I'm fine!"

He wondered why Zhao Gangzhu was so stupid when they were born of the same mother?

If he was not his biological brother, he would not care about him. He

made a fuss over trivial matters.

"Our fleet is back and has docked now."

Zhao Tiezhu was a little surprised: "They are back in just a few days?" Then he smiled complacently, "Did they come back with empty boats? It's their bad luck that we encountered bad weather the day before yesterday. Without me leading the team, those small boats would definitely not be able to withstand it.

So, you go and tell them to let them suffer a little this year, and I will take them to the sea to make big money next year. As compensation, the management fee will not be increased next year."

Zhao Tiezhu looked like he was doing a favor.

"No." Zhao Gangzhu shook his head anxiously, "They all came back with full boats."

"How is that possible?" In a hurry, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly thrust his index finger forward and got stuck in the bird cage.

In the fishing village where there are few fat people, Zhao Tiezhu is the fattest one. He is tall and so fat that two men can't hug him.

His ten fingers are short and thick, and the joints are just stuck in the bird cage.

"Ah!" Zhao Tiezhu cried out in pain.

"Brother, what should we do now? Otherwise, I will take people to smash all their boats first?"

Zhao Tiezhu was so angry that he kicked him, "Are you stupid? Can't you see that my hand is stuck? Idiot! Come here and help me get my hand out first."

Zhao Gangzhu pouted with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

They are brothers, no one is worse than the other, but the eldest brother always treats him like a servant, either beating or scolding him.

The two brothers struggled for a long time before they rescued Zhao Tiezhu's fingers from the bird cage. The already thick and fat fingers were swollen like carrots.

Zhao Tiezhu was so angry that he kicked Zhao Gangzhu's feet again.

"Why did our mother give birth to such a fool like you?! You don't even use your brain when encountering things and you just make a fuss." Zhao Tiezhu shook his hands, his chest heaving up and down with anger.

Zhao Gangzhu was scolded and kicked one after another, and he also got angry, "You are awesome! You are the best! Our ship was breached by someone?"

He was still angry!

After all, Lin Wanxia's ship was breached while it was docked at the port.

Their boat leaked at sea.

The most annoying thing was that after returning to the shore and checking for a long time, it looked like a fish's mouth had punctured it.

There are only a few kinds of fish with pointed mouths in the sea, and the only ones active in the 246 sea area are muskets.

A musket punctured the boat?

It sounds like a joke.

But they did check the boat inside and out before going out to sea, and there was no problem with the boat.

What made Zhao Gangzhu angry was not that the boat was punctured by a fish, but that the boat was bought by the two brothers in partnership.

At first, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to be the overlord of the island city, so he wanted to buy the biggest boat in the island city. However, he did not have enough money, so he persuaded Zhao Tiezhu to sell his boat and buy a boat with him.

At that time, it was agreed that the two brothers would split the profit 50-50. After the boat was bought back, Zhao Tiezhu changed his mind and directly used him as a boatman, giving him a little dividend at the end of the year at most.

He did more work than when he was a captain, but earned less money than when he was raising the boat himself.

Because of this, his wife often fought with him.

The most infuriating thing is that Zhao Tiezhu did not become the overlord and unify all the fishing boats in the island city.

They just brought back the boat, and then Chen Bin retired.

Chen Bin and his men had made a lot of military achievements since they were young. With the team fee and local rewards, they bought a boat that was bigger than theirs.

Zhao Tiezhu was so angry that he had an extra roast chicken for dinner.

But Zhao Tiezhu had roast chicken, but Zhao Gangzhu didn't.

When taking the money, Zhao Tiezhu always said that we were brothers from the same mother and there was no distinction between you and me. When dividing the money, he said that brothers should settle accounts clearly.

Zhao Tiezhu was even more furious when he saw Zhao Gangzhu butting against him. "How dare you say that? I asked you to take people to check the boat, and you checked it like this? You must have been sly and didn't check it properly. You even put the blame on the fish.

How thick is our boat plank? What fish can pierce through it with one bite?

A large gunfish is seven or eight meters long. If it can come and poke our boat, can we still be blind and not see it?"

Zhao Gangzhu kicked the pomegranate tree in front of the door heavily. "How should I know? You can say whatever you want! Anyway, I heard that they all followed Lin Wanxia to catch fish. I think your tenure as the captain of the fleet is over."
