Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 773 Sun Youjin’s Gift

After hearing what Fu Wan said, Boss Fu couldn't help but be stunned. Fu Ming, on the other hand, looked expectant. He really wanted to recruit a few more boatmen!

Although there are more boatmen and the wages paid by the family are higher, at least people can be more comfortable.

Of course, it would be best if his father could let him go out to sea with the Return with a Full Load. It’s not that Chen Balian is a bad person, but Fu Ming always feels uncomfortable without Fu Wan by his side.

Sometimes I don’t know who to show off my good harvest to.

Fu Wan felt that her family was making good money now, as they would always go bankrupt every time they went out to sea. However, she also knew that everyone was working hard, and if she hired a few more people, they could take turns setting up the net at night.

Seeing that both his children expressed the same idea, and thinking about the gains from his family's trip to the sea, Boss Fu nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll go out and ask around this afternoon and add two more people to the boat!"

After discussing this, Fu Wan and her friends have been watching the weather forecast in front of the TV every day these days. In fact, the weather at the seaside is not very stable, and the weather forecast may not be accurate.

But combined with the experience of Boss Fu and his friends in observing the sky, they were almost right.

Only after making sure that the weather would be good in the next few days, at least without wind or rain, did Fu Wan call Ye Lin and the others in advance to tell them that she was preparing to go out to sea.

Boss Fu also took advantage of the free time during these few days to go out and find a few boatmen. Without exception, they were all men, but they were all hardworking young men.

There is no way. There are not many female comrades who would go out to sea like Fu Wan. Although people are poor these days, most women still like to make money by mending nets and going to the sea.

Going to sea is hard and tiring, and most people can't stand it.

The day before setting out to sea, Fu Wan and the others prepared and checked their supplies as usual. Fu Ming drove a tricycle back from the county town to buy a truckload of diesel. As soon as he entered the house, Fu San followed him and pushed open the gate.

"Brother, sister-in-law is busy. Is Awan home?"

"Home, home, San, come in and sit down. I'm cooking. We'll eat at home later!"

Ye Xiaocui was happy to see Fu San. There was nothing she could do about it. Since her family went out to sea, Fu San had come to bring money eight out of ten times.

Fu San laughed and shook his head to refuse.

"Sister-in-law, I won't eat. I'm busy at home. I'm looking for Awan. I have something to tell her!"

As they were talking, Fu Wan came out from the backyard. She was a little surprised to see it was Fu San.

"Third uncle, why are you here?"

"Haha, I have something to talk to you about. What are you doing?"

"Oh, it's getting dark. Help my mom collect the dried kelp in the backyard. Uncle San, what do you want from me?"

Fu Wan washed her hands, wondering if something had happened to the seafood boat again.

In fact, the seafood collection boats have already started going out to sea these days. Before going out to sea, Fu San specially bought a pair of large and loud firecrackers, making everyone think that Fu San was not doing the purchasing business, but was also preparing to go out to sea to fish.

They didn't feel relieved until Fu San and Fu Wan explained the purpose of the seafood collection boat to everyone.

There are four people on the fresh fish collection boat now. Fu Huanghua is responsible for driving the boat, two younger guys are responsible for collecting the fish, and the other one is Fu San's brother-in-law, who is responsible for weighing and issuing invoices.

They are not responsible for settling the bill. These fishermen who go out to sea can just come back with the invoice and ask Fu San for payment.

Everyone had never seen a seafood boat before, so when Fu San and Fu Wan said they could sell their catch at sea and still have another go at it, they were overjoyed. But at the same time, many were worried that this would be unreliable and could lead to losses.

However, they had other countermeasures for this, so Fu Wan didn't pay much attention to it.

Fu Wan had also met Fu Huanghua, and he was indeed an honest and hardworking fisherman.

The reason why Fu San asked his brother-in-law to work on the boat was, on the one hand, because his brother-in-law could not make much money from farming, and on the other hand, he thought that he and Fu Huanghua could check and balance each other. One was bold and the other was steady, so they complemented each other.

During the days when the seafood collection ship was out to sea, Fu San had not come to talk to Fu Wan about the specific situation, so Fu Wan naturally thought that something had happened to the seafood collection ship again.

Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Fu San hurriedly shook his head.

"Hey, what's wrong? Pah! Pah! The catch boats are doing fine. Although there weren't many catches on the first day of the trip the day before yesterday, they've been picking up more and more in the past two days!"

Speaking of the fresh produce boat, Fu San was also full of admiration. "Awan, you're really thoughtful. On the first day, many people were reluctant to sell their goods to the fresh produce boat, fearing that we would under-deliver or default on our payments. But after using your method, several people actually took the lead in selling their goods."

Fu Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard that. Actually, she didn't have any other ideas. She just thought that it was the first time for the fresh food boat to go out to sea, so she simply raised the price for the customers from the previous few days by five cents.

Five cents may not seem like much, but a boat's worth of fish weighs at least several hundred kilograms. One five cent isn't much, but hundreds of five cents is enough to tempt you.

However, the event is only limited to the first three days. Today is the first day after the event ends. Fu San was originally worried that without the additional activities, everyone would not hand over the fish to the collection boat.

But who would have thought that the fresh food collection boat had already returned twice today, and Fu San had also made two trips to the county to deliver goods, and had just returned from the county.

The efficiency of selling goods is much faster than before. Fu San feels that the business of collecting fresh food with Fu Wan should be stable!

Since it wasn't about collecting fresh seafood, Fu Wan became a little curious.

"Uncle San, if it's not about collecting fresh food, what else could it be?"

"Hey, look at me, I forgot something important!"

Fu San was so surprised that he shuddered at himself, then took out a box from his arms.

"Awan, this thing was given to you by Mr. Sun from the Jinlai Restaurant. He said it's a popular gadget recently, so I gave it to you to play with."

Fu Wan took it in surprise, and Fu San was also curious about what it was. When Sun Youjin gave him the box, he was busy collecting money and didn't ask in detail.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming and Boss Fu and others came over. Fu Wan opened the paper box and couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw what was inside.

"BB machine?"

"What chicken? We have plenty of chickens at home!"

Ye Xiaocui was driving the chickens into the chicken coop and asked casually when she heard this.

"It's okay, mom, I'm talking about this thing!"

Fu Wan took out the black gadget from the box. She never thought that she would see this thing again. But then she thought about it and realized that it was already 1988, which was about the time when pagers were being promoted in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

"What? This is a pager?"

Fu San was shocked. "Awan, I heard that many big bosses use this pager now. It's very expensive. Isn't Boss Sun really generous?"

For Fu San, who often dealt with wealthy bosses, he had only heard of the pager but never seen it. After all, he only delivered fish every time, and at most he would pass cigarettes to the bosses.

He is not so bold as to say to those bosses, "Hey, boss, can you let me see your pager?"

BB machine network picture, this chain is really a memory hahaha
