Li Xuan listened carefully and guessed in his heart that the shipwreck could make Boss Tang remember so deeply and make his father keep his mouth shut for so many years, which is probably not a small shipwreck.

Boss Tang had recollections in his eyes, "That was the new boat I bought. My friends and I spent all our savings and borrowed 200,000 yuan. At that time, 200,000 yuan could be bought at least three storefronts in the Thirteenth House of Yangcheng. The boat I bought for so much money is naturally worth the money. Although it is not an offshore fishing boat, the boat is really big, and it takes at least twenty people to go out to sea."

Boss Tang said: "Especially the trawling nets. At that time, there were no mechanical winches in offshore fishing boats, and there were no three or five people. Even if there were pulley sets, there were no twenty people who would not think of the nets. Moreover, the most tiring thing was sorting on the boat. At that time, there were many fish in the sea. Basically, they had to sort the nets once, and they had to sort one and a half to two hours. This was purely a physical job. More than twenty people had to work on the deck. Generally, after sorting the nets, it was time to start the nets."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "We don't need to manually start the Internet now, everything else is the same as you did at that time."

Boss Tang waved his hand, "It's completely different. At that time, I hired a crew member for about 60 yuan a day. For that era, the cost was really very high, but not many people were willing to go to sea with me because it was really hard."

Li Xuan was shocked. Although the 10,000 yuan household in 1997 was nothing, a daily salary of 60 was still a very large amount.

That year, the average salary of primary school teachers nationwide was about 280 yuan, the average salary of middle school teachers was about 320 yuan, and the average salary of high school teachers was about 400 yuan. At that time, working in an electronics factory was more than 300 yuan a month.

Boss Tang sighed, "I was really tired from going overseas that year and I really made money. On the one hand, the oil price is cheaper than now. Including subsidies, the oil price is a few dozen yuan per trip to overseas."

Li Xuan's mouth twitched. Even if he drove out of the city for a picnic, it would not be possible for a few dozen yuan of gas.

Even if you hire twenty crew members, it costs more than 1,200 yuan a day.

With the abundant marine fishery resources at that time, going to sea would really make a lot of money.

Boss Tang said: "No matter how big the boat is, it doesn't require any technology. I grew up on the dock. I followed my father to sea at a very young age. I am brave in the sky and have seen many strong winds and waves in the sea. Sometimes I also need to go to sea at night and face various risks at any time. Nothing happened over the years, so I am even more courageous."

"In the early 1997, I took your father and others around the sea and got a good harvest. I originally planned to return that day, but at that time, a brother suggested that he wanted to go to the far sea to see it."

"So Uncle Tang, you are driving a near-shore fishing boat to the far sea?" Li Xuan said speechlessly.

Boss Tang nodded, "I was young and ignorant at that time. I was a fool and bold person. I thought about the ocean-going fishing boats I saw at other piers, some of which were not as big as my ship. In addition, I was already itchy in my heart and always wanted to go to the far sea to see, so one person proposed to go to the far sea to see. With the other crew members' cheers, I agreed directly at that time."

"The fishing boat sailed south for four days, and the weather was calm for four days. The accident happened four days later." Boss Tang sighed.

Li Xuan sat upright, and what happened next was probably a shipwreck.

"On the fifth day of the third lunar month in 1997, the 27th day of the first lunar month, there was heavy fog on the sea surface early in the morning and there was still a howling sea breeze."

"One of us originally took this seriously. Isn't it just a fog? At most, we can stop sailing and stay on the water for a while. After the fog dissipates, we can sail. We have a rare time to rest. That day we even had a happy barbecue on the boat."

"But next, disaster comes."

A trace of fear flashed in Boss Tang's eyes, "I will never see that day in my life. There were still small winds and waves in the front of the sea. The next second, it suddenly started to rain. A drop of peanuts rained down, which directly extinguished the charcoal fire that we had finally started to cook for barbecue. At that time, your father was still complaining about the changing weather on the sea, and someone was terrified that there was a water column that was not far from our fishing boat. The water column was connected to the sea and went straight to the nine heavens."

Li Xuan said in a lost voice: "Tornado?"

Boss Tang nodded, "Yes, it's the tornado. The power of the tornado is not something that our offshore fishing boat can resist."

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Tang, this is not a matter of offshore fishing boats. I can only say that your luck is really bad. Tornadoes are not common in the sea. Not to mention offshore fishing boats, even my ocean-going fishing boat will still sink when it encounters a tornado."

Tornadoes are very terrible. Not to mention the ships floating on the sea, even if there are houses with foundations, they will sometimes be swept into the sky by tornadoes. The power of nature is not something that humans can resist.

Li Xuan is now very curious about how Boss Tang survived when he encountered a tornado.

Boss Tang bounced the ashes, "I was so scared at that time. I stared blankly at the water column connecting the sea and the sky. The whole sky darkened. The black clouds seemed to be pressing on my head. In front of Tianwei, I didn't even dare to move."

"After the frightened, we ran away crazy. We drove the fishing boat and fled in the opposite direction, but it was useless. Apart from the visible water column on the sea, there was a strong wind everywhere. Our fishing boats had no way to control the direction, and were blown almost in place by the strong wind."

Li Xuan was whispering in his heart. Is this a little exaggerated? The boat was blown around, and it was clearly in the eyes of the tornado. Even if the boat was not rolled into the sky by the phoenix, wouldn’t the person be rolled up?

Thinking that his father was also on the ship at that time, Li Xuanxin even raised it and did not dare to interrupt Boss Tang.
