Chapter 370: Maritime Operations
Su Tai nodded happily.
"Huh? A Ming also brought roasted whole lamb?" As soon as Shen Yi entered the kitchen, his attention was attracted by the big pot of roasted whole lamb.
Su Tai came in later and explained: "It is probably because my father wants to bribe us, and he is afraid that we will punish his children harshly."
"What a real father-in-law." Shen Yi shook his head and sat down. I ate the roasted lamb on the chair and drank a bowl of hot soup, which made me feel comfortable all over.
"I went to see it today, and I found a suitable place. On the outskirts of Dahe Town, near the upper reaches, there was a small dilapidated courtyard. I heard that someone lived there before, but then the family disappeared and the courtyard was dilapidated. Find someone to repair it now, and it will be ready for use in two days."
Su Tai was overjoyed, "That's just right, you can call on more people to take care of the courtyard. The wall of the house is also surrounded, and the gate faces the Daxun River, so it is not easy for people to detect it.
I will put the seafood inside, and you can ask the nearby villagers to help pick and pack the boxes. I will pay you, but. These goods cannot be processed until it snows.”
As soon as it snows, the seafood can be picked and frozen, and it will still be fresh when it is shipped to the imperial capital.
Not only can their family get rich, but the villagers who work for them can also save some money.
Shen Yi counted the days and found that he had plenty of time, so he simply asked Su Tai to get some cement bricks.
Call the tenant farmers on the village to help build a house.
The tenant farmers don’t know the details of the Shen family, and the circle they live in is relatively closed. Even if something happens, it will be discussed internally and will not be spread to everyone. There is still a reliable person watching. , even if they have questions, they will not speak out.
The materials were shipped over, and according to Su Tai’s requirements, the yard construction began.
The original farmyard was less than half an acre. After expansion, it has more than doubled in size. There is also an open yard filled with shelves, which are used to dry quick-frozen seafood.
In about five or six days, a simple brick courtyard was completed.
When the heavy snow came down, Su Tai rushed to the villa before dark.
In the past few days, Shen Yi has been watching the child while she fishes at night. During the day, she brings things to the yard and lets the villagers come to work.
Entering water time and space, Su Tai excitedly got on the fully automatic fishing boat.
There is an advanced touch screen on the boat, and you can choose the type of seafood you want to catch.
The fishing boat automatically locates and travels to the destination for operation. This method can only increase the probability of catching the target seafood. In fact, no one can guarantee what will be caught.
This was Su Tai’s first experience. Looking at the various varieties of seafood on the screen, she found that not all buttons could be used. As the fishing boat passed through the sea, the buttons on the screen would change accordingly.
There is a recommended seafood module.
She clicked in and took a look, and found that it was all seafood that existed in the current sea area. The closer to the front, the higher the probability of catching it.
The first network cable was used to test the effect. She pressed the button decisively.
The fishing boat changed direction at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took almost ten minutes to stop.
Sitting in the cab, she clearly noticed that the machine was running. As for how it worked, she had no idea. In less than half an hour, the first net came up.
Su Tai couldn't wait to run out and take a look, and saw a pile of mountain-like seafood on the fishing boat.
Fortunately, she laid out the baskets in advance and used a shovel to smooth out the hill-like prawns. She did not stop until each basket was evenly distributed.
Use the crane on the ship to move the seafood aside for the second net casting operation. What was caught this time was a net of large yellow croaker, mixed with some blue crabs and octopus.
Large yellow croaker is known as the "treasure of the sea". It has plump meat, high protein, rich nutrition, and golden color. It has always been a symbol of wealth and good luck.
This net is estimated to be worth 5,000 jins, I really made a fortune!
After putting this net of large yellow croakers in a basket, she couldn’t wait to catch the third net.
The things that came here this time were quite mixed, half prawns and half pomfret, each weighing at least three or four kilograms. They were all big products.
Just these three networks kept Su Tai busy for most of the day.
Seeing that the baskets were full, she decided to return.
After the fishing boat docked, the crane rented in advance was used to load the rattan baskets one by one and pull them to the built yard.
When she was almost busy, it was getting brighter.
When Shen Yi came over, he was stunned by the rattan baskets all over the yard, "Why are there so many? How did you do it alone?"
Su Tai looked at her masterpiece with her hands on her hips, a smile on her face, "How's it going? I'm awesome, right?"
"My daughter-in-law is naturally awesome. You did all this alone? Aren't you tired?" "Shen Yi checked her up and down and found that Su Tai was fine. There was nothing unusual about her, and she didn't even think clearly.
Su Tai interrupted his thoughts, "Now go out and find the village chief of the nearby village and ask him to select a few reliable men to help. These fish and shrimps must be put on the dustpan to be naturally frozen and packed in boxes. , just ask five people to come here, one hundred cents a day."
Shen Yi paused, "In this case, everyone will probably have to fight to get here."
Su Tai didn't take it seriously, "Just say take turns. Today we need five people, and tomorrow we may need three, four, or seven or eight. Who knows! In short, find five people to come over to work first. If you do a good job, there will be more next time." Let them come if they have the opportunity, but let them come if they can't do it. Also, let the village chief come over to supervise the work. They will be given thirty cents a day and don't have to do anything. Just keep an eye on those people to prevent them from stealing. "
Shen Yi nodded and asked with some worry: "Can these fish and shrimps really be kept for that long?"
Su Tai nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry! I can't guarantee the fish and shrimps in fresh water. It's definitely no problem."
"Okay! I'll go find it now."
Shen Yi quickly left the yard and came with a group of people soon.
The leading man saw Su Tai and spoke warmly, "Madam of the town official, I am Zhang Laifu, the head of Zhangjia Village. These are all men from our village. I heard from the town official that you want to We are working and don’t know what to do?”
Su Tai led them to see the fish and shrimps, and the six of them were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
"Village Chief! The fish has become a spirit, it has become a spirit!"
Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Zhang Youfu also had lingering fears, "Mrs. Husband, these are"
Su Tai explained: "These are the seafood shipped from Qiongzi. The fish and shrimp in the sea are big, it's nothing. What a fuss, you have to pick out these things and spread them on the dustpan, wait for the fish and shrimp to be frozen, and then pack them into boxes. Today, you have to pack them all up and put them in storage, and start working.”
Several men looked at each other and decided to do it for the sake of a hundred coins.
Shen Yi stood aside and taught them the difference between the sea and the river, which stunned a group of men who had never seen the world.
"What? There is a fish bigger than a house? What does it look like? Can our Daxun River hold it?" Zhang Youfu opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it in shock.
