Yun Miaomiao shook her head. She wanted to go to the mall to see what precautions should be taken when going to sea. It was very risky to go to sea with others, so she couldn't take the risk.
After entering the room, Yun Miaomiao clicked on the mall panel and found some books about catching the sea. Most of the books were mainly about how to deal with the ferocious fish in the sea, and there was also a book about the classification of seafood.
books, and Qihai is also divided into two types.
One is to catch the sea on the beach, wait until the sea water is low, and then go to the reef beach to pick up seafood. This method is relatively safe, but the time for catching the sea is different. Yun Miaomiao doesn't know when the low tide here is.
, when the tide is high, as long as you master this, the quality of the seafood you pick up will not be bad, and there is no need for anyone to unload it.
The other way is to go to sea and catch fish. You need to take a fishing boat to leave the shore and catch fish outside. However, the wind and waves on the sea are strong, and casting a net in the sea may not necessarily yield a harvest. It is very likely that you will return empty-handed, but if you are lucky, you will encounter fish.
The group can also gain a lot.
Time is running out now. After a while, the fields on the beach will be finished and the people on the island will be able to free up their time.
In this case, Yun Miaomiao did not choose one of the two, but chose two ways to catch the sea together.
It is relatively easy to go to the beach to pick up seafood. Going to the sea requires strength to pull and cast the net, which is more suitable for men.
After figuring this out, Yun Miaomiao asked Dongqing to postpone the time of catching the sea, and locked herself in the house to imprint all the knowledge of catching the sea in her mind.
Yun Miaomiao carefully read these books to understand the precautions and techniques for catching the sea. She knew that there are risks in every trip to the sea, especially when going to the sea.
In the next few days, in addition to reading books, Yun Miaomiao also went out to learn about the tide times and seawater changes here.
There are rules to follow in the tide time every day. According to the book, the tidal time changes can be inferred based on the gravitational effects of the moon and the sun. Gradually, she figured out some tricks.
I also know which time period to catch the sea so that I can get more sea goods.
In addition, Yun Miaomiao also bought some necessary tools for catching the sea in the mall, such as pliers and iron buckets.
After preparing everything, finally one early morning, Yun Miaomiao's door opened from the inside. Others had been sowing seeds in the fields for the past few days. If they continue to sow the seeds now, the rice will be harvested in June or July next year.
After she finished her breakfast, Jiang Lizhengjiu came over with the group of people who went up the mountain together a few days ago. They were all solid men and the top leaders in the work.
"Girl Yun, you're finally up. Dongqing said you're going to take us to the sea to catch seafood and ship it out. Is this true? You're not kidding us." Jiang Lizheng is not young, but when he heard
There was work to do, and it was fishing at sea, so the energy in my heart suddenly rose.
Yun Miaomiao smiled and said, "Uncle Li Zheng, to tell you the truth, I came here this time to transport sea cargo. The drought over there in Ruizhou is severe and food cannot grow. Now that the sea cargo has passed, it can be temporarily restored."
They've had enough to eat, and I'm not asking you to work for nothing this time. Come and go to sea with me for a day, and you can get five kilograms of grain or a hundred pence. It's up to you whether you want money or grain."
Hearing this, not only Jiang Lizheng, but also those behind him took a breath.
That's five kilograms of food, which they can eat for two months.
One hundred cents is quite a lot, but if they don't go out, there will be no use for this hundred cents.
"Girl Yun, you said that so many people in Ruizhou are hungry. How did you get so much food? If you give it to both of us, will you also be hungry by then?" Jiang Lizheng asked worriedly.
Yun Miaomiao was stunned for a moment. She had always remembered not to let the people on the island go hungry, but she had forgotten that the people in Ruizhou City were also starving without food.
She wanted to give it, but there had to be a reason. Not to mention Gu Fengqing, her godfather was very difficult to fool.
This is an island. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. After all, I can still manipulate the ship and put all the food into the cabin when others are not paying attention. Even if they feel something is wrong, they will only think that they have remembered it wrong.
Jiang Li was asking her so unexpectedly, and she really couldn't answer for a while.
"Uncle Li Zheng, I am a businessman, not a charity person. I will give you food only if you go to sea to help. This food is not given to you for free. The food business in Ruizhou is OK.
Sell it at a high price, but those people cannot buy the food, so they will say that the food is expensive and point fingers behind their backs."
Yun Miaomiao paused and continued, "Although I'm not afraid of those people saying this behind my back, there are quite a few people in Ruizhou who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money from food. Naturally, I can make money like them, but I don't want to
, isn’t this what we are thinking of now?”
Jiang Li was speechless by what she said, "I see, but the sea route is difficult and dangerous. Even if you go back, so many sea goods will be damaged if they leave the water. Aren't you going to lose money then?"
"
"Of course I will have my own way. Don't worry. If I dare to accept these overseas goods from you, I will be able to take them back and sell them." Yun Miaomiao looked confident.
Seeing the confident look on their faces, Jiang Lizheng and the others all let go of their worries.
At least the food they got while working these days was real.
"Okay, since you are sure, we won't say much more. Today's weather is good and suitable for going to sea. We have all brought our guys and three fishing nets. Let's go." Jiang Lizheng said with a smile.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at the clips made of bamboo in the hands of those people, said something to Jiang Lizheng, and turned around and entered the house.
"Bring all of these." Yun Miaomiao held up a bunch of tools bought from the mall, "I brought these tools. It's not that your bamboos are bad, but if you don't have these, come on.
Come on, everyone has a share, and after getting dressed, we'll set off."
Not only tools, Yun Miaomiao also prepared life jackets, just to be afraid that not all of these people could swim and fall into the water and be swept away by the wind and waves.
Jiang Lizheng took the life jacket and looked at it again and again. The clothes leaking air looked bulging and didn't look like clothes. This was the first time he had seen them.
"Girl Yun, this, are these clothes?" he asked uncertainly.
After Yun Miaomiao got dressed, she realized that everyone else was holding clothes in their hands and looking at them, with a bit of confusion in their eyes.
"Yes, as long as you wear these clothes, you will not drown even if you fall into the water. Once you get on the boat, you must wear these clothes anytime and anywhere. You cannot take them off. Do you understand?" Yun Miaomiao warned again.
road.
Seeing Yun Miaomiao's serious expression, Jiang Lizheng and others also realized the importance of these clothes, and they were all anxious not to take them off.
Yun Miaomiao taught them step by step how to put it on. After everyone had put it on, she took them to Qingyang.
Qingyang has been busy building the dock these days. When Yun Miaomiao arrived, he was taking you to survey the terrain.
"Qingyang."
When Yun Miaomiao passed by, he realized that Qingyang had turned black into a piece of carbon in just a few days. The extremely healthy skin color made Yun Miaomiao's eyes darken.
Qingyang heard her voice and turned to look at her, "Madam, why are you here? What are you doing?"
When he turned around, he realized that besides Yun Miaomiao, there were other people there.
Yun Miaomiao told her about her plan to go to sea, and Qingyang suddenly thought that Yun Miaomiao had mentioned this matter to him before.
"Then just wait a minute. I'll go back and get my things and go with you."
As he spoke, Qingyang put down the hoe in his hand, stood up and wanted to walk to the small courtyard. He still felt uneasy if Yun Miaomiao went there alone.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "I'll just take them there. If you leave, who will supervise the work here?"
Qingyang glanced at the pier that had just begun to take shape, "It doesn't matter, this place was originally designed to facilitate your unloading, madam. With this pier, ships can have a place to dock and things can be landed easily. If madam goes to sea, there is nothing to worry about.
How should I explain to the young master? Just wait until I go."
Knowing that Qingyang was afraid that something would happen to him, Yun Miaomiao stopped him, "Since you want to go, then come with us, but you don't have to go back. There are still tools here, and the clothes on your boat, just come with us, the boat
Just use the smaller one. The new ships you made are suitable for use around here. The place we want to go is far away, so the big ships won't be swept away by wind and waves."
Qingyang understood what she meant, and immediately asked someone to prepare, "Then I will go check some ships now, and we will set off when there are no problems."
Yun Miaomiao nodded, and Qingyang immediately took action. He carefully inspected the ship to ensure that everything was intact.
He knew in his heart that this trip to sea was different from the past. The situation on the sea was unpredictable, and every slight damage might bring unpredictable dangers.
Under his supervision, several boatmen began a comprehensive inspection to ensure that there was no problem in everything, and then he went down and asked Yun Miaomiao to get on the boat.
At the same time, Yun Miaomiao also asked others to carry various things needed for going to sea onto the ship.
No one knew what she would encounter if she went far out to sea this time, but she knew that she would need enough food and water, as well as some necessary medicine.
When everything was ready, it was already getting late. Yun Miaomiao was afraid that it would get dark if she delayed any longer and would not be able to set off today, so she had people speed up their movements and get on the boat quickly to count the number of people and set off.
The boat sets off from the pier and heads towards the depths of the sea.
Under the constant rolling of the waves, the sails sway in the wind, giving people a peaceful and mysterious feeling.
Yun Miaomiao sat quietly on the bow of the boat, her eyes looking into the distance. The salty and humid sea breeze in the air blew one after another, keeping her mind awake at all times.
In the cabin, Jiang Lizheng and Wang Tiezhu didn't look very good. It was their first time to go to sea, and it could be regarded as their first time on a boat. The waves kept rolling, and their stomachs kept churning.
"Yun Yatou, Yun Yatou..." Jiang Lizheng's weak voice shouted several times to Yun Miaomiao's back, but they were all drowned in the sound of the waves.
Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Wang Tiezhu walked over to help him steady, "Uncle Jiang, how are you?"
Jiang Lizheng looked very ugly, "Tie Zhu, my stomach is so bloated and my chest is burning."
"Girl Yun." Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Wang Tiezhu shouted to Yun Miaomiao, "Come in quickly."
Yun Miaomiao was stunned at the bow of the boat. When she heard him calling her name, she suddenly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Tiezhu immediately said, "Uncle Jiang looks very uncomfortable, as if he is seasick."
seasick?
Yun Miaomiao hurriedly got up and entered the cabin. There were a group of people lying in the cabin, and their faces looked not good.
"What's going on?" Yun Miaomiao walked to Jiang Lizheng and squatted down, "Are you all seasick?"
Wang Tiezhu nodded, "This is the first time for us to go that far by boat. We didn't expect that we would get so seasick."
Yun Miaomiao looked at Jiang Lizheng. His face was pale, and cold sweat fell from his thin face, soaking the clothes he was wearing underneath.
She touched his forehead, and the hot temperature burned her hand.
She said to Wang Tiezhu: "Go to some water and come over. I have seasickness medicine here. Just take it and you will be fine."
Wang Tiezhu responded, immediately left the cabin and went to the back to fetch water.
Yun Miaomiao began to pat Jiang Lizheng's chest to help him relieve the pain of seasickness.
After a while, Wang Tiezhu came back with water. Yun Miaomiao took the cup, took the seasickness medicine, and carefully fed it to Jiang Lizheng.
After giving Jiang Lizheng the medicine, Yun Miaomiao gave the porcelain bottle in her hand to Wang Tiezhu, "Take two pills at a time. You have to share them with them and they will be fine after eating."
Wang Tiezhu looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and then saw that Jiang Lizheng's pain seemed to have eased a little. Seeing that his breathing had become steady, he knew that the medicine was useful, so he got up and went to distribute the medicine and pour water to others.
After everyone had finished taking the medicine, Yun Miaomiao felt relieved a little. At this moment, Qingyang walked in from outside.
"Madam, we found a school of fish ahead, should we lower the net?"
Yun Miaomiao looked at the people in the cabin. It would take some time for them to recover, but fish were rare. With this net, they would probably be able to go back tonight.
"Cast." Yun Miaomiao basically didn't hesitate, "If you cast the net down, you will definitely catch all the fish."
"But we cast the net down and caught the fish, but there was no way to close the net. They were all still seasick. Madam, how about we wait a little longer?"
Qingyang naturally received the news that these people were seasick, and regretted that he had not reminded Yun Miaomiao that these people had no experience at sea.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "Don't be afraid. Although they are all seasick, I gave them medicine just now and they will be better after an hour or two. It will take time for us to cast the net, and it will take time to close the net. There is still time."
Now that Yun Miaomiao insisted, Qingyang didn't know what to say, so he and the boatmen he brought cast out the net.
The fish school this time was so big that one net was simply not enough. Yun Miaomiao asked the boat to spread a net around the fish school, forming a circle around the fish school to catch as many fish as possible.
.
After the net was cast, Yun Miaomiao went into the cabin to see the situation of Zheng and the others in the river. After taking the medicine, they fell asleep for a while. When she entered, most of them were almost awake.
Jiang Lizheng was older, and his health was not as good as the others. Although he was still awake, he still looked as listless as ever.
"Girl Yun, it's all my fault for being so weak and wasting your medicine." Jiang Lizheng said angrily.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "It's okay, Uncle Li Zheng."
Seeing that Jiang Li was looking down, she couldn't help but comfort her, "It was my negligence this time. If I had known that it was your first time to go out to sea and take a boat, I should have given you those seasickness pills when you got on the boat.
Yes, this way you don’t have to suffer like this.”
"It's useless because we didn't live up to expectations." Jiang Lizheng knew that she was comforting him, but he was still afraid of patting his thigh and sighed.
Yun Miaomiao saw that everyone was not in a good mood, and all looked at her with a bit of self-blame.
"Uncle Wang, there is food in the back cabin. Go and bring it to them."
Jiang Lizheng immediately stopped him and said, "We didn't do anything, and we delayed your important event. How can we eat?"
Yun Miaomiao smiled and said softly: "Uncle Li Zheng, we have already taken the boat out, and most of the work has been completed. If you are starving and can't help me, you are harming me. I
How can I explain this to your family? Besides, haven’t you all gotten better now? I’ve already cast the net out, and you will be too hungry to have the strength, how can you help me close it?”
Jiang Lizheng looked at the others, then at Yun Miaomiao, and finally sighed, "Girl Yun, you are thoughtful, you are right, you can't work hungry, otherwise you will have no strength. Tie Zhu, hurry up
Go to the back cabin to see if there is anything to eat and bring it to us. Remember, just bring enough for us, don’t be greedy."
Wang Tiezhu looked at Jiang Lizheng dumbfounded, nodded, opened the curtain and walked out.
It didn't take long for him to bring back some dry steamed buns and a can of pickles.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at it and said, "What are these?"
Lao Wang laughed and said, "Girl Yun, we are seasick and we don't have a good appetite, and we can't eat very much. Besides, these steamed buns are so full that we eat them with pickles and drink a few sips of the fruit wine your aunt gave us.
It's very beautiful, we won't starve ourselves into bad things, don't worry."
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Then let's eat it first. When I catch the fish, I will make a delicious meal for everyone when I go back."
Hearing this, several people became even happier. They took the steamed buns and pickled vegetables and ate them.
Everyone ate the ordinary meals with gusto. Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but take a steamed bun and started eating it. The taste was really good, especially when eaten with the pickles.
