In the Tianjin port, as the bells rang, everyone looked towards the place where the sea and the sky meet. Several big blessing ships loomed on the sea, like warriors returning in triumph, cutting through the waves, with the flag of the Ming Dynasty on the top of the mast facing the wind.
fluttering.
"I'm so lucky. I originally wanted to find a time to wait for the fishing boat to come back, but I didn't expect to meet it now."
Li Dongyang looked at the ships on the sea slowly approaching the port, smiled and said to Zhou Jing and Zhang Mao beside him.
"I'm very lucky. I want to see if this boat can really catch more than 100,000 catties of sea fish."
Zhou Jing nodded, his eyes full of expectation.
As for Zhang Mao on the side, the same is true. He is already excited and wants to buy a few fishing boats to go fishing. However, the price of 20,000 taels per boat makes him hesitate. Now that he can see it with his own eyes, it is natural.
the best.
As the ships returned to the port, people working at the Tianjin Port also stopped to rest and rest. This has almost become a routine.
Every day when the ship returns to port, everyone must stop and take a rest. This is a rule from Liu Jin.
Of course, Liu Jin’s original purpose was to let more people see the richness of the ocean and stimulate more people to join the maritime industry, so he issued such a strange rule. When the ship returns to port, everyone can rest, rest, and watch together.
See the joy of harvest.
"I don't know if there will be tuna this time. If so, I can treat them to a taste of the best delicacies in the ocean."
Liu Jin was also full of expectations. Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others just came over. Since we want to promote the richness of the ocean to them, in addition to letting them see the huge benefits of ocean fishing, it is also best to let them have a taste.
The delicacy of this ocean.
"Dang~dang~"
Everyone did not wait too long. As the ship got closer and closer to the port, the bell on the lighthouse was remembered again. At the same time, there were already people waiting with many baskets at Tianjin Port, just waiting for the ship to dock.
Start unloading immediately.
The ship is getting closer and closer to the port, and everyone in the port can clearly see everything on the ship. The first ship is the "Taishan", and the sailors on the deck are waving excitedly to the port.
Following closely behind were four similarly large Dafu ships. These five ships did not go to North Korea, so they have been fishing in the Bohai Sea for this period of time.
Behind the five Dafu boats are four smaller fishing boats. The professional fishing boats manufactured by Tianjin Shipyard cannot be seen in the distance because they are blocked by the Dafu boats in front.
, as they got closer and closer to the port, everyone discovered their presence.
A total of nine ships went to sea and all returned fully loaded. This is also a rule of Liu Jin. Because all aspects are not very mature now, so every time they go to sea, they go out together. When they are on the sea, they will not be separated from each other.
too far.
In this way, if one ship has an accident, other ships can rescue people and increase the safety of fishing at sea.
The nine ships slowly approached the pier of Tianjin Port. With the return of the nine ships, the entire Tianjin Port became lively again.
The nine ships were anchored at nine piers. At each pier, there were hundreds of people waiting. A large number of baskets and large scales were prepared. Once the ship docked, unloading began immediately.
"Coming~"
Liu Jin, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing and others naturally arrived at a pier early and watched a big fortune ship slowly mooring, then anchored, hung up the cable, and anchored steadily.
"Start unloading~"
As soon as the ship stopped, the steward responsible for unloading the cargo, who had been waiting for a long time, roared loudly.
One by one, shirtless and strong men carrying empty baskets began to step on the wooden planks to board the Dafu boat. They did not wait for too long and soon stepped on the deck from the other side of the boat and came down with a load of sea fish.
"One hundred and twenty pounds~"
The picked sea fish must be weighed, because the income of the seafarers is now linked to the sea fish caught. The more caught, the greater the reward will naturally be.
In addition, this is Liu Jin's usual style of doing things. Everything must be recorded clearly, how much comes in, how much goes out, where it is used, etc. There are detailed records, so you can check the accounts at any time when needed.
"One hundred and twenty pounds, okay, Zhang Laosan~"
The steward in charge of recording gave a thumbs up to the strong man picking up the fish. He could carry a load of hundreds of kilograms, which was quite powerful.
"Average, average~"
Zhang Laosan smiled and continued to line up at the back to unload the fish.
"As expected of someone who eats meat every day, this strength is really amazing."
Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others had been watching from the side. Looking at the load of sea fish and Zhang Laosan's strong muscles, Zhang Mao couldn't help but say.
People in this era, especially those at the bottom, do not have enough to eat, especially less oil, less salt, and less meat. Therefore, most of them are not tall and have limited strength. Generally, they can only carry a few dozen kilograms.
, whoever can lift hundreds of kilograms is a strong man.
Load after load of sea fish was continuously unloaded from the Dafu boat, and baskets of sea fish were piled neatly at the pier.
Soon, a hill was piled up at the pier, and the baskets of sea fish exuded the smell of the sea. These fish were all freshly caught, very fresh, and some of the crabs were still jumping around and showing their claws.
The most dazzling thing is naturally the large yellow croaker. The scales of the large yellow croaker weighing several kilograms or more than ten kilograms are as golden as gold, and there are so many of them. When stacked in a basket, they look like a small mountain of gold.
Endearing.
"After unloading, the total is 125,723 kilograms!"
The entire unloading process did not last long, because there were enough manpower and the efficiency was high enough. It only took a stick of incense to unload all the sea fish in the Dafu ship.
"Wait a minute, there's another big guy here."
At this time, Silly Bear walked down with difficulty carrying a bluefin tuna weighing several hundred kilograms. This tuna was very long and large, and its tail showed a very beautiful blue color.
"Haha, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhang, we are in for a treat today. This is bluefin tuna, the top-class sea fish among sea fish. Its meat is even better than beef."
When Liu Jin saw this big bluefin tuna, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Bluefin tuna is definitely one of the top seafood in later generations. Even if you have money, you may not be able to taste it because the quantity is too small."
