Several people came out of the pier, first went to the fishery station not far away, got on their bicycles and headed to Zhang Ze's house.

As soon as he got home, he saw his family gathered at the door.

After getting closer, I realized that Zhang Qinghe was here, tinkering with the barbecue grill he had customized at the blacksmith in the village.

"Aze, are you all here? Have you bought the boat?" Tong Shuyao was the first to notice a few people and seemed very happy to see her brothers also coming.

Zhang Ze rode to the door of his house and parked his car. He said hello to Zhang Qinghe first and then replied: "I bought them all. Qinghe happened to bring the barbecue grill here today, so why don't we go out to sea to get some ingredients together?"

"Okay, okay, brother, I want to take a big boat." Zhang Wu was the first to respond.

He has been arranged by Zhang Ze to study, but he happens to be at home on Saturday today.

"I want to go too." Zhang Qing said immediately.

Zhang Ze waved his hand with a smile: "You all go, bring the grill, the fishing rods and the few knives I customized, and let's set off."

Not only the younger children in the family, but also the eldest mother Zhang are looking forward to being able to go out to sea on a big ship.

In less than a year, her family, originally one of the poorer ones in the village, moved to the city and her son even bought a big boat.

Sometimes when she wakes up in the morning, she feels like she is dreaming when she looks at her room.

Bring the necessary tools, pots, bowls, condiments, dishes, etc. Zhang Ze plans to buy them now.

Then he specially ordered a tricycle with a grill. Tong Shuyao sat in the back seat of him, while Zhang's mother got on the tricycle and watched the driver to prevent others from taking the grill away.

Several other people sat on the bicycles of the three Tong brothers, Zhang Wu sat on the bar in front of Tong Yuanhang, and the few people who had just returned from the bicycle rode towards the pier again.

After a short while, they arrived at the pier. Because they had been waiting on the road for a while, Zhang Ze was not far behind, and Tong Shuyao was holding the things she just bought in her arms.

Several people were excited and excited when they saw the 15-meter fishing boat Tong Yuanhang pointed out to them.

Although there were quite a lot of people, it seemed very empty after getting on the boat. This time I only needed one boat to go out to sea.

Others got on board first with tools, grills and bicycles. Tong Yuanhang went to buy coal and matches, and Zhang Ze went to buy diesel.

Fifty liters of diesel is not one hundred liters, but actually equals approximately eighty-four liters.

It may seem like a lot but not much to add to the boat, but it won't be a problem at all when going to nearby places.

He went to the gas station and learned that the current price of diesel was 57 cents per liter, and 50 liters was 47.88 cents.

Although the harvest from going to sea will increase after buying a big boat, the corresponding cost will also increase a lot.

Tong Shuyao knew that he wanted to buy a boat, so she had been weaving nets at home recently. Weaving a Korean net for him was also a way of doing her best to contribute to the family.

The 84-liter diesel oil station delivers it directly to the pier, which is not far away. Basically, the large fishing boats on the pier buy their oil from this oil station.

After adding all the diesel, Zhang Ze moved the bicycle to the boat, stacked it with Tong Yuanhang's and tied it with a rope to prevent the bicycle from falling due to the bumps of the fishing boat.

"Beep~" A high-pitched whistle sounded, and the engine of Zhang Ze's fishing boat started.

Zhang Wu stood aside and looked at him curiously, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no movement from him, he asked strangely: "Brother, aren't you going to sail the boat?"

"The engine needs to be warmed up first, that is, driven for a while." Zhang Ze explained.

"Oh." Zhang Wu nodded, looking understanding.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing slapped him on the head without hesitation: "What are you pretending to be? Do you understand?"

"Who says I don't understand!" Zhang Wu turned angrily and glared at this sister who usually didn't let him down at all.

"Then tell me, what do you mean?" Zhang Qing crossed her arms.

"It's just...it's just...then you don't understand either!" Zhang Wu hesitated and scratched his head. He really didn't understand. He didn't even know what an engine was.

Zhang Qing spread her hands: "Didn't I tell you? We need to drive it for a while and the engine needs to warm up!"

Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to answer like this. He always felt that something was wrong but he didn't know how to refute. This confused look made the crowd of spectators laugh out loud.

Zhang Ze also started the fishing boat in a funny way. The vibration of the engine became more obvious, and the fishing boat slowly began to reverse and slowly exited the dock.

"Sister, sister-in-law, let's go outside and watch the sea." Zhang Qing saw that the ship finally moved, took Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qian's hands and ran out of the cab.

Zhang Qinghe was also very interested in the scenery outside and followed him out.

Zhang's mother was not in the driver's cab, but entered the cabin and looked around at her son's accommodation conditions after he went to sea.

There is a small space behind the cab where the captain can lie down and sleep.

The cabin is also well-equipped with a kitchen and dining room, a sleeping room, a bathroom and a small toilet.

These are things that small wooden-hulled boats do not have, and are also the advantages of iron-hulled boats.

Moreover, the iron boat can continue to be raised, but Zhang Ze considered that he would mainly focus on fishing in the future and would not take many people out to sea with him, so he did not consider raising the height.

There are probably only four people on the Tong family's boat. The three brothers plus the father-in-law are basically enough people.

After the fishing boat left the dock, Zhang Ze changed direction and slowly accelerated to economic speed.

After more than twenty minutes, he found a small island in the distance and drove the boat there.

I brought the barbecue grill and bought garlic and chili. How could I not get some oysters and scallops?

Today is a low tide, the weather is good, the wind and waves on the sea are relatively calm, and the boat does not rock much when driving.

Perhaps the excitement of the people on the deck had not passed, and no one suffered from seasickness. This surprised Zhang Ze, even though he did not feel sick even though it was his first time on a boat.

After a short meeting, Zhang's mother came out of the cabin and saw her daughter on the deck, and she came over happily.

The small island in the distance looked quite close, but it actually took about twenty minutes to arrive.

When you get closer, this uninhabited island is not too small, it is one-third the size of Lumen Island.

There is already a bit of greenery on the island, and it is estimated that the vegetation on it will be very dense in summer.

After walking half a circle around the island, I was lucky enough to find a very small beach, probably only seven or eight meters wide.

But this is not the point. The point is that there are many reefs nearby. If there are reefs, you will find various kinds of shellfish and oysters. You can also find many crabs and conchs. It is a good place to catch the sea.

"Ah Hang, I'll put the boat close to the rocks where they can land. You take them there, and I'll fish on the boat." The boat couldn't dock, so Zhang Ze could only stay on the boat.

Fortunately, there is a small platform on the bow of the boat. It is very convenient to climb up and board the reef. Read a book

"Okay." Tong Yuanhang nodded to express his understanding. Just as he was about to go out, Zhang Ze thought of something and said quickly: "By the way, remember to pick up some shells and conchs and give them to me, and I will use them as bait."

Tong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, then thought that he had not prepared any bait in his hurry, so he agreed and left the cockpit. When Zhang Ze's bow rested on a rock that could be landed, he climbed up to stand, and then stepped over.

After he stood firm, he picked up the remaining people one by one.
