By the time Yanfuli and the others finished talking, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Peng Laoliu packed a large woven bag of oysters for Luo Laosi.
After boarding the yacht, Chen Yuan turned on the power on the way back. The three engines had not yet exerted much force, and they reached a speed of more than thirty knots.
After leaving the bay, Chen Yuandao said: "Run around the island."
"Okay." Luo Laosi said.
Yuanxing 55 passed through the "Venice of the Sea" and attracted the attention of many fishermen.
This boat has a lot of horsepower, and even at low speed, it can easily reach 20 or 30 knots.
Now is the time of high tide, and the water flow is visible to the naked eye. Yuanxing 55 breaks through the rolling sea surface and enters the sea.
Today's surge was visible to the naked eye. Chen Yuan pushed the throttle lever, and the three low and depressed engines began to roar angrily. The speed increased quickly, thirty knots, thirty-five knots, forty knots...
The fishing boat went against the wind and waves, leaving a long white trail behind it. The bow of the boat occasionally hit the waves, causing white foam waves to splash several meters high.
"Uncle, hold on tight, I'll try drifting." Chen Yuan looked at Yan Fuli and said, then pushed the throttle lever up and turned the steering wheel lightly.
This boat has an auxiliary control system and a very stable center of gravity. No matter how fast it goes, it is not afraid of the risk of rollover.
The speed of the ship was too fast, and the ship's hull tilted slightly out of control at a large angle, followed by a particularly exaggerated drift.
Yan Xiaoxi and Lin Xiaoyue grabbed the armrests and screamed in fright.
"Slow down." Luo Laosi shouted loudly.
Chen Yuan reduced the accelerator a little, turned the steering wheel, and the Yuanxing 55 floated on the spot, stirring the sea water and rolling violently.
After playing for a while, Chen Yuan drove the boat and continued around the island, making a circle and returning to the port.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight." Luo Laosi said as he helped tie up the fishing boat.
"No, let's go back and eat."
Luo Laosi thought for a while, nodded, and said to Yan Fuli: "Let me know if you need any more seafood, and we'll go see the goods tomorrow."
"Okay. I've been too intrusive today."
"Why bother? I'm fine at home anyway." Luo Laosi looked at Chen Yuan and pointed at the oysters bundled on the yacht: "You divide those oysters among yourselves, I will go back first."
"I send you."
"I want to go to the fishing raft and sail over there."
Chen Yuan picked up the oysters and gave some to Lin Xiaoyue: "When will daddy come back?"
"You said you'd be back tomorrow. Do you have anything?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "It's okay. Let's go back first."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
"good."
After getting in the car, Chen Yuan handed Yan Fuli a cigarette: "I just went to that oyster farm. How was the price? Do you want to go to other oyster farms?"
Yanfuli lit a cigarette and opened the car window: "No, the price there is pretty good. Let's check the supply situation in the future."
Yan Fuli doesn’t know much about oysters. The oysters he just saw are much more expensive than the oysters he bought before. Half a catty size costs 500 yuan per box. One box weighs 100 catties...
The size of half a catty is large oysters, 4-6 taels per piece.
Peng Laoliu promised to try his best to load more than 5 taels of goods for him.
The price of 500 yuan per box is not cheap when you can pick up the goods at your door.
"There are two varieties of oysters here in Jiangyang. The one we just went to is Ojiang oysters, and the price is more expensive than those in coastal breeding areas." Chen Yuandao: "If it is cultivated along the coast, you can pick it up yourself. The half-pound size
I estimate it costs about four yuan per pound."
"Is the one in Omi better?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"It's not better, but it's much better. The place we just passed is the geographical indication product breeding area."
When he got home, Chen Yuan called his father, Chen Hao and Zhou Sheng, and then started to finish cooking.
Yan Xiaoxi helped her parents tidy up the bedroom and came out to help brush the oysters.
"Stop brushing the oysters and fry some garlic sauce." Chen Yuan said.
"I won't." Yan Xiaoxi puffed her face.
"I'm soiled."
"I'm going to fry the garlic sauce." Yan Fuli looked at them and said with a smile.
Yan Xiaoxi's mother opened the curtains in the living room and looked at the scenery outside: "The scenery here is quite good."
The high-rise sea view apartment has large bay windows and a very good view.
"When I bought it, it was because of the scenery and sea view outside. I was used to it," Chen Yuandao said.
"Mountain people envy city people, and some city people also like rural life. Mainland people mostly like to see the sea, but after living by the sea for a long time, they should also like to see the mountains." Yan Fuli found the garlic and said with a smile.
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang.
Xiaoxi's mother went over and opened the door.
"Ma'am." Zhou Sheng shouted.
"Come in quickly."
Zhou Sheng came over, and Chen Yuan asked Yan Xiaoxi to go out to play, and pulled him in to brush the oysters.
Waiting for Chen Yuan's parents to come over, they started to finish cooking.
Oysters, half boiled.
The remaining half is a portion of steamed oysters with garlic vermicelli and a portion of grilled oysters with garlic.
The meat of Omi oysters is plump and fat. Whether boiled or minced with garlic, it tastes very enjoyable.
Yan Fuli ate the oysters and nodded from time to time: "This oyster is good, the meat is full, and the fishy smell is relatively light."
"You get what you pay for." Chen Yuan said: "These oysters are expensive. If you include shipping costs, can you make money?"
"You can buy some second-grade oysters and third-grade oysters." Yan Fuli said with a smile: "Boss Peng also promised to give away some defective oysters after purchasing a certain amount."
"Oysters are quite common along the coast, but it is not easy to eat fresh oysters in Sichuan. If these big oysters go to Sichuan, the price will not be cheap," Zhou Sheng said.
Yan Fuli nodded: "The most worthless and inferior oysters, if they were roasted and sold in Sichuan, they would cost at least two or three yuan each."
"There are many scallop farmers here in Jiangyang. We can also bring back some scallops," Chen Yuandao said.
Yanfuli nodded: "We'll go and have a look tomorrow and determine the source of goods first. From now on, we will make long-term purchases here. In addition to oysters and scallops, we can also buy some crabs, shrimps, groupers, etc."
"It is difficult to transport live sea crabs. Even if the dead crabs are frozen, the taste is much worse. I think it is best not to bring in sea crabs. Fresh sea crabs are too expensive. You can get some prawns and groupers.
Just fish. Luo Laosi has fishing rafts, and my master's eldest brother also has fishing rafts. If you want to buy grouper in the future, just look for them," Chen Yuandao said.
"Okay. Brother Hai's eldest brother, please help me introduce him."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Uncle Xinmin knows many people in the fishing raft area, and all kinds of fish can be obtained at wholesale prices. And after our fishing boats are put into operation, there will be a steady stream of fish caught back. The high seas
The fish caught are very cheap, like some common tropical groupers, the wholesale price is thirty or forty yuan per catty, or even cheaper."
"Can grouper be caught by longline fishing?" Zhou Sheng asked: "I have never been on a longline fishing boat, so I don't know how to do that thing."
Zhou Sheng had been on seine and trawl boats before, and he really didn't know about longline fishing boats.
“You can catch any fish in longline fishing,” Chen Yuan said.
"You said before that you can put tens of thousands of fishhooks at one time. How do you get so many fishhooks?"
"The fishhooks are tied separately and hung on the dry rope. After the fishing boat comes back, we will go to Dongsha and put a few rows of fishhooks, and you will be able to do it."
"With tens of thousands of fish hooks at a time, it will take a long time to collect them, right?" Yan Fuli asked.
"It depends on whether you are proficient or not." Chen Yuandao: "It takes a lot of time."
Defective oysters are very cheap, costing a few cents or more than one yuan per catty. There are at least six or seven per catty.
After dinner, Chen Yuan and his group went for a walk on the beach.
Father Chen is an honest mountain farmer who doesn’t talk much. However, Yan Fuli is good at socializing and entertaining...
Yan Fuli and Chen's father didn't know what they were talking about, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Hearing the laughter of his father and the others, Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi, she also looked over, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
