Happy Fishing Farm

Li Xuan listened carefully and guessed in his heart that the shipwreck that made Boss Tang remember so deeply and made his father keep his mouth shut for so many years and never mentioned it was probably not a small shipwreck.

Boss Tang has memories in his eyes, "That is a new boat I bought. My friends and I spent all our savings and repaid a loan of 20 yuan. At that time, the 20 yuan can be purchased at the Thirteenth Bank of Yangcheng. With three facades, the boat bought for so much money is naturally worth the money, although it is not an offshore fishing boat, but the boat is really big, and at least [-] people are needed to go to sea."

Boss Tang said: "Especially for trawling, the offshore fishing boats at that time did not have mechanical winches, and a few people couldn't get them up at all. Even if there were pulley blocks, less than twenty people should not think about the nets. Moreover, the most tiring thing is to divide them on the boat. At that time, there were a lot of fish in the sea. Basically, it took one and a half to two hours to sort the net once. After sorting, it’s time to set up the net again.”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Except that we don't need to manually set up the net, everything else is the same as you were then."

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 high, but there were still not many people willing to go to sea with me, because it was true. It was really hard work.”

Li Xuan was shocked in his heart. Although a ten thousand yuan household was nothing in [-], a daily salary of [-] was still a very large sum.

In that year, the national average salary of elementary school teachers 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 cost more than 300 yuan a month.

Boss Tang sighed, "Going to sea in those days was really tiring, and I really made money. On the one hand, the oil price is cheaper than now. Counting the subsidy, the oil price for a trip to sea is only a few tens of dollars."

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, even if he drove out of the city for a picnic, it wouldn't be enough for a few dozen dollars for gas.

Even with the 200 crew members hired, it would cost more than [-] yuan a day.

Given the richness of marine fishery resources at that time, a trip to sea could really make a lot of money.

Boss Tang said: "An offshore fishing boat, no matter how big the boat is, doesn't need any skills. I grew up on the pier and went out to sea with my father when I was very young. I'm brave in the sky, and I've seen a lot in the sea. , This sometimes requires going to sea at night, facing various risks at any time, and nothing has happened for so many years, this is even more courageous."

"At the beginning of [-], I took your father and other people around the sea, and the harvest was good. I originally planned to return to the voyage that day, but at that time, a brother proposed that he wanted to go to the far sea. have a look."

"So, Uncle Tang, you drove an offshore fishing boat to the far sea?" Li Xuan said speechlessly.

Boss Tang nodded, "I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was always stupid and bold. I thought about the ocean-going fishing boats I saw at other docks, and some of them were not as big as my boat. From the bottom of my heart, my heart was itchy, and I always wanted to go to the far sea to see, so one person proposed to go to the far sea to see, and with the booing of other crew members, I immediately agreed."

"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 sea disaster.

"In 27, on the fifth day of the third month of the Gregorian calendar, and the [-]th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, there was a heavy fog on the sea that day, and there was also a howling sea breeze."

"At first, none of us took it seriously. Isn't it just the heavy fog? At worst, stop sailing, stay on the water for a while, and then sail after the heavy fog clears. It's rare to have time to rest. Happy to have a barbecue on the boat."

"But then, disaster struck."

Boss Tang's eyes flashed with fear, "I will never be able to see that day in my life. The first moment on the sea was still light wind and waves, and the next second, there was a sudden heavy rain. A drop of peanut-sized rain directly burned us up. The charcoal fire for the barbecue was extinguished. At that time, your father was still complaining about the changeable weather at sea. Someone discovered in horror that a column of water appeared not far from our fishing boat. , straight up to nine days."

Li Xuan lost his voice: "Tornado?"

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

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tang, this is not about offshore fishing boats at all. I can only say that your luck is really bad. Tornadoes are rare at sea. Not to mention offshore fishing boats, it is my oceangoing boat." Even if a fishing boat encounters a tornado, it will still sink.”

Tornadoes are very frightening. Not to mention ships floating on the sea, even houses with foundations are sometimes swept into the sky by tornadoes. The power of nature is simply beyond what humans can resist.

Li Xuan is very curious now, how Boss Tang survived the tornado.

Boss Tang flicked the cigarette ash, "At that time, I was so frightened that I stared blankly at the water column connecting the sea and the sky. The whole sky darkened. The black cloud seemed to be pressing on my head. In front of Tianwei, I dare not even move."

"After being frightened, we frantically ran for our lives. We drove the fishing boat and frantically fled in the opposite direction, but it was useless. Except for the water column visible to the naked eye, there was a strong wind everywhere on the sea. Our fishing boat was not at all. There is no way to control the direction, and it is almost spinning in place by the strong wind."

Li Xuan grumbled in his heart, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?The boat was blown around, so it was clearly in the eye of the tornado, so even if the boat wasn't swept into the sky by the phoenix, wouldn't people be swept up?

Thinking that his father was also on that boat at that time, Li Xuan raised his heart and didn't dare to interrupt Boss Tang at all.

Boss Tang closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again, "After a lot of difficulty, we finally launched the fishing boat and fled towards the opposite direction of the tornado, but if this person gets unlucky, he will have nothing to drink. We just launched the fishing boat, and found to our horror that the sky-high water column was actually chasing our fishing boat. Although it was not moving directly in the direction of the fishing boat, it was true that it was getting closer and closer to us."
