My deep sea fishery

Chapter 157: Anxious Villager

Xiang Yang naturally has no reason for not agreeing. Anyway, for Xiang Yang, whether it is sold to Li Chao or Zhang Qicheng, it is sold, as long as the other party can afford the price.

After a hard day's work, Xiang Yang was lying on the ship's side to watch the scenery. After the damp sea breeze blew, Xiang Yang squinted his eyes with enjoyment.

On the other side, Boss Li asked Zhang to set off, and the two rushed to Yanlong Village for 800 miles.

After more than an hour, Xiang Yang finally vaguely saw the outline of the dock under the night.

The pier was still crowded with people. The villagers of Yanlong Village seemed to regard the return of the ocean fishing boats to welcome Xiangyang as a practice.

In fact, Xiang Yang knew that most of these onlookers came with special purposes, except for a few who were family members of the crew on the fishing boat.

For example, the village head Zuo.

Xiang Yang heard from Xiang Fu that the head of the village Zuo led 20 or 30 households in the village and was planning to buy two large boats like him in a joint venture, but now the villagers’ ideological burden is very heavy, except for a few. Most of the people who said they can do it and are willing to pay for it, want to wait and see.

What to wait and see?

Of course, it is to see how Xiang Yang catches every time he goes out to sea.

With the wait and see these days, the villagers have become more and more courageous, and more and more people are impressed.

This is no wonder, after all, Xiang Yang went out to sea several times in a row and returned with full loads. The villagers watched Xiang Yang make a lot of money when he went out to sea again and again. To say that he did not envy it at all, it was absolutely false.

Every time when Xiang Yang returns to sea with a full load, the villagers feel like they have eaten a bear heart and leopard guts.

I just don’t know which time Xiang Yang went out to sea if he returned empty-handed, would he use up the courage of the villagers.

"Come back, look, they are back." The sharp-eyed villagers saw the outline of a big ship appearing in the distance between the sea and the sky, and immediately shouted.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and two large searchlights were lit up.

Chief Zuo smiled and fiddled with a copycat military telescope.

"How is it? Did you see boss Xiang and them?"

"Leader Zuo, can you lend me this telescope?"

"Did Xiang Yang return to the boat this time with mountain-like catches again?"

The villagers were chattering. Boss Li and Zhang Qicheng, who were standing by the side, almost didn't laugh. What could they see clearly in the light of this day?The binoculars can see that the sea is completely black and black. It would be nice to be able to see the boat clearly. Would you like to see the people on the boat and the catch?

"Well, I saw it clearly." The village chief Zuo's smile slowly disappeared, and his face gradually became dignified. He found that the waterline of Xiang Yang's ship returning from the sea this time was very shallow, just like an empty ship.

Village Chief Zuo secretly said that it was not good, could it be that Xiang Yang and the others were in vain today?

"Xiao Zuo, show me the mirror." An old fisherman suddenly became anxious when he saw the head of Zuo village holding a telescope for a long time, and he grabbed the telescope in Zuo Murakami's hand and looked at it for himself.

"Hey, Uncle Qin, you can't watch." Village Chief Zuo quickly stopped.

But it was too late. Uncle Qin had already seen Xiang Yang's fishing boat through a telescope.

"Huh, this draught."

The head of the village Zuo retracted his arm in angrily. The thing he worried most had already happened.

Sure enough, the next moment Village Chief Zuo heard Uncle Qin muttering to himself while holding his sight glasses, "The fish that the boy from the Xiang family went out to sea this time didn't seem to be a lot!"

"is it?"

"About how many?"

The people around were immediately anxious when they heard Uncle Qin’s words. Although they came to the dock for different purposes, whether they came to the dock or waited for their son or husband to return home, they all hoped that Xiangyang’s fishing boat could There is a boat full of catches. Now I heard Uncle Qin say that Xiang Yang didn't catch the catch this time.

Those who were jealous of Xiangyang who had made a lot of money by buying a big boat out to the sea began to be nervous and hesitated about whether the village chief said that the plan of the group to jointly buy a big boat and go fishing in the sea should be suspended first.

Those villagers who have made up their minds and have decided to buy a large ship in a joint venture are also beginning to worry, they are afraid that those who are good people will retreat.

Of course, the most anxious thing is the family members of the crew on the Xiangyang ship. They are worried about whether Xiang Yang will lay off their staff. It is really not easy to get a job in a place like Yanlong Village, especially the welfare benefits like those on the Xiangyang ship. The post is the only one.

"Oh." Uncle Qin returned the telescope to the village chief Zuo. He didn't answer the villagers' questions directly, "The boat will be docked soon. You can see how many catches you have."

The more Uncle Qin didn't say anything, the more nervous everyone became, and the atmosphere of the entire terminal suddenly seemed depressed.

After a few more minutes, the fishing boat finally drove into the waters of Qinglong Bend, and everyone could see clearly.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that the draught of Xiangyang's big ship was almost exactly the same as when it went out.

"The luck of the old Xiang family is really bad today. With so many people and such a big boat out for a whole day without catching anything?"

"There are always horseheads in such a large sea outside? There are always saury, right? There are always a lot of bigheads, right? Why do they come back empty?

"If there were fish, would the owner of Renxiang not catch it? Let me say, the fishery resources outside here, like our Qinglongwan, are also exhausted."

"Shit, if the fishery resources in the outer waters are also depleted, what was on the boat when they came back last time?"

"This is a good point. Actually, as far as I know, the fishery resources in the entire ocean are exhausted. The reason Xiang Yang and the others were able to catch fish during their first two trips was because of the sea area outside Qinglongwan. Our people in Qinglong Bend have never gone out, and people outside Qinglong Bend have never been in, so there are more fishery resources, but most of them are relative, and they disappeared after fishing twice, so they came back empty-handed this time. Up."

"It turned out to be so."

The villagers nodded again and again.

Chief Zuo wanted to refute, but Xiang Yang's fishing boat had a very low draft, and he really couldn't find any refutation.

After thinking about it for a while, the village chief Zuo had to euphemistically said: “When people are lucky and unlucky, we can’t just rely on Xiang Yang to conclude that the fishery resources in the ocean are exhausted once he goes out to sea without catching fish. After all, people go to sea. After so many times, in general, the gain is greater than the white drift."

No one answered the words of the village chief Zuo.

Village Chief Zuo even heard some people whispering, "Fortunately, after listening to the words of Village Chief Zuo, we have to jump into the sea if our savings for half a lifetime are spilled into the sea.'

Chief Zuo felt angry and helpless when he heard this.

What is angry is that the villagers are not making progress. Someone has already made a fortune for Yanlong Village, but the villagers are afraid to move forward.

What is helpless is that the village chief Zuo is also very worried now. He asks himself over and over again, is ocean fishing really the way out of Yanlong Village?Is it true that Xiang Yang's first two appearances were just luck?
