A bottle of whiskey, two plates of nuts, a bucket of ice...
Chen Xin and Zhou Lan didn't drink just now. They came to the bar and Zhou Sheng poured some for them.
"Don't drink too much, or you'll have a headache when you wake up tomorrow morning." Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xin and said.
"Yeah." Chen Xin nodded and looked at the environment here.
The environment is very good, with a beach next to it and a large transplanted coconut tree.
The sea breeze blows slowly, bringing a light ocean smell.
For inland people, they are more or less curious and yearning for the sea.
Sit down and enjoy the air.
I only drank half a bottle of wine. It was getting late, so the unfinished wine was here.
The next day, Chen Yuan and the others went to learn how to drive in the morning and went to the shipyard to inspect the fishing boat in the afternoon.
Although Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng do not have ship management certificates, they have rich practical experience. It can be said that Chen Yuan and the others are qualified for any position on ordinary ocean-going fishing vessels. Including captain...
Chen Yuan's fishing boat has a built-in engine, and the rear deck needs to be removed. The engine has been inspected before and is almost brand new. This time the oil is changed and the whole body is maintained.
…
Time flies and it’s July.
Chen Yuan and the others successfully passed subject one.
The first subject was the written test, which was very simple. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng passed it in one try.
After coming out of the examination room, Zhou Sheng got on Chen Yuan's battery car, and Niubi said coaxingly: "It's too easy, no difficulty at all."
"How difficult can subject one be?" Chen Yuan said, turning the switch on the car and heading to Zhapo Port.
The weather forecast says that the weather has been very good recently, with no strong winds or waves.
The work to go to sea is ready.
Arriving at the shipyard, Chen Yuan and the others said hello to Wang Peng.
"Are the supplies all ready?" Chen Yuan said.
"It's all ready. My father-in-law purchased it. Take a look and see what's missing." Wang Peng took them to a small warehouse by the sea.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng began to inventory things.
There is a battery stove, a rice cooker, a bag of rice, six barrels of mineral water... various seasonings... and even two packs of hot pot base.
"There is still meat, in the refrigerator." Wang Peng said.
"Okay..." Chen Yuan counted the supplies. These items are enough for seven people for more than five days.
Then when they go to the open sea, they are going fishing, so there will definitely be no shortage of food. They prepare these just in case.
"How much does the refrigerator and air conditioner cost? I'll transfer it to you." Chen Yuan said.
"A total of 18,000." Wang Peng said and wanted to show them the list: "The air conditioner is 1.5 horsepower. The freezer is 1550 liters... I also used some other materials here."
Chen Yuan waved his hand, transferred the money to Wang Peng, and said, "The commission will be given to you when we come back. If the fish catch is good this time, we will stay for two more days."
"I'm just kidding you, no need to." Wang Peng said with a smile.
"The agency fee for the clients you introduce to us must be indispensable," Zhou Sheng also said.
"I'm really joking." Wang Peng said: "I also like to go fishing in my spare time. If I fish offshore in the future, you can give me a fishing spot for free."
"One code equals one code. You have to charge the agency fee, and there are also free fishing spots..."
"That means you don't treat me as a friend." Wang Peng pretended to be angry and said: "I was just joking before. In fact, I don't know many professional fishermen. After I introduce them to you in the future, you can contact each other individually...
...Besides, if I accept your agency fee, my father-in-law is not allowed to hit me on the head."
Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "Okay."
Chen Yuan and the others moved their things to the boat and were about to call Lin Xinhai when he drove over in a car, followed by a gas truck.
When I bought this fishing boat, Lin Xinhai filled it up with oil once in Zhuhai, but he didn't fill it up again after that.
During this period, the fishing boat did not always park here, but went out several times during this period.
One time I went fishing.
Then, after the freezer on the fishing boat was installed, I filled the cabinet and went out several times to check the stability of the hull when the freezer was fully loaded.
The freezer weighs several hundred kilograms and can hold over a ton if it is full. If the hull of this ship is unstable, it will not be a joke to go to the open sea.
"Master." Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng shouted.
Lin Xinhai responded and said: "The gas truck is here. I also bought four 50-liter oil drums, are they enough?"
"That's enough." Chen Yuan said, "Let's get in touch about the supply at sea."
"The contact has been made." Lin Xinhai gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.
The fuel tank capacity of the fishing boat is 1670 liters, and there is still some oil in it. A total of 1589 liters have been added. An additional 200 liters have been carried...
In other words, a total of 1,789 liters of diesel fuel was added.
Diesel prices change frequently, and marine diesel is also divided into low-speed and high-speed...
Low speed is what we often call heavy oil, which has a relatively high viscosity. The price of heavy oil is relatively cheap.
The price of diesel for high-speed diesel ships is higher.
One ton of diesel is about 1176 liters. The diesel used by Chen Yuan and his fishing boats is similar to that of automobiles... The price of one ton is 9283 yuan.
On average, it's about 7.9 yuan per liter.
The total cost of diesel on a fishing boat is just over 14,000 yuan. This price is much cheaper than that at a gas station.
After the preparations were completed, Chen Yuan contacted the passengers by phone, invited them out to eat sugar water, and explained the precautions for going to sea.
There are three of them, Chen Yuan and the others, plus four passengers, a total of seven people.
The passengers are: He Fei, Yang Xun, Zhang Cheng, and Meng Jianshan.
He Fei and Yang Xun won’t say much more.
Zhang Cheng had invited Chen Yuan and the others to dinner at the fishing raft before, and then they went out to fish for a while.
Zhang Cheng has a friend named Guo Hao. He gets seasick easily and dare not go to the open sea. Meng Jianshan is Zhang Cheng’s cousin, a senior fisherman and a UP owner.
Chen Yuan has seen the video posted by Meng Jianshan on Station B. His account name is "Dashan Hai Diao" and he has more than 10,000 followers.
A UP owner with more than 10,000 fans should be a small UP owner with no reputation.
When Chen Yuan and the others passed by the time-honored candy shop on the old street, He Fei and the others had already arrived.
"We are ready to go out to sea at six o'clock tomorrow morning." Chen Yuan said: "Let me talk about the price first. The basic price is 6,000 yuan, three days and two nights. If you catch more fish, you will stay at sea for a few more days.
Day... Today is the 2nd, and we will set off on the 3rd tomorrow. If there are not many fish, we will come back on the 5th. If we catch a lot of fish, and the weather conditions are good, we will come back on the 10th at the latest. Stay one more day at sea, and everyone will
Charged 500 yuan more.”
"Understood." He Fei.
"No problem." Meng Jianshan.
Yang Xun and Zhang Cheng also nodded.
"Trolling fees are divided into sea areas. Each fishing position is 800 and 500 per hour respectively. The price of trolling around the reef is expensive, while the price of trolling along the continental shelf is cheap..."
Chen Yuan and the others had said these things before, and after saying them again, several people nodded.
"Should we buy an insurance?" Zhang Cheng asked.
The brand of the fishing boat has been taken down. It is a fishing boat for commercial purposes and has complete qualifications. All procedures have been completed. This naturally includes insurance...
Even though the fishing boat is not big, the annual insurance premium is more than 110,000. This includes compensation for accidents to the crew...
"You don't need to buy insurance separately." Zhou Sheng said, "It would be better if you also buy insurance yourself."
After everything was settled, Chen Yuan talked about what he needed to prepare for fishing in the open sea: "Prepare the fishing gear yourself. We also have spare fishing gear on the boat, but it costs money." Chen Yuan said with a smile and said: "For food,
We don’t prepare many vegetables, but we have enough meat...and the fish we caught. If there is no problem, we will gather at the shipyard at six o’clock tomorrow morning and set off."
