Chapter 221 Going into the water! Good luck! Grandma saw Ding Xiaoxiang!
Early morning.
The sun has just risen.
Ding Lihua opened the store door, pulled out the diesel engine and gasoline engine, and placed them on both sides of the store entrance. He spent half an hour cleaning up the inside and outside of the store.
Ding Lihua stood at the door of the store, looking at the street that was slowly becoming lively. A new day began.
Ding Lihua walked back to the store and sat down on the sofa, boiling water and making tea. Just as he took a sip, a tricycle stopped at the door. He looked up and saw Zhao Dahai walking in.
"Boss Zhao."
"Why are you here so early? Is there anything going on with the fishing boat?"
Ding Lihua stood up immediately, said hello and asked immediately Something happened.
“Boss Ding.”
"I'm only twenty years old. There's no need to call me boss or anything like that. Just call me by my name. You can call me Dahai or Zhao Dahai."
Zhao Dahai was shocked. Others called him Boss Zhao. It's no problem, but Ding Lihua is Ding Xiaoxiang's second uncle, so he doesn't dare to call him that.
“Ha!”
“Okay.”
Ding Lihua smiled and nodded. Zhao Dahai is indeed young. I don’t know him and have never dealt with him before. Have I called him boss? What's the problem? Now that I'm more familiar with it, I still feel very awkward calling myself this way.
Zhao Dahai sat down on the sofa and drank a cup of tea. He directly said that he had bought a large speedboat and would pick it up in two days and find a knowledgeable person to inspect the goods.
“Okay!”
“No problem!”
“You come here to pick me up early in the morning in two days, and I will go with you.”
>
Ding Lihua agreed. He is very familiar with speedboats, especially the various engines and control systems used by speedboats. He often does this kind of thing. This is his own business.
Zhao Dahai and Ding Lihua negotiated the price and left in a hurry. There were a lot of things to be busy with next.
“Isn’t this guy so awesome?”
“Can you afford such a big speedboat? This is the latest model of sport fishing boat. The first one in the city!”
>
Ding Lihua stood at the door of the store and watched Zhao Dahai leave on a tricycle. He was very surprised. He sells marine machinery, and speedboats are the focus. He would have known that the city's speedboat manufacturing factory had produced a new type of boat. This is the sport fishing boat that Zhao Dahai bought. When he first went to his shop, he couldn't get two diesel engines together. It took him a long time to acquire a speedboat worth 700,000 yuan. This is really scary.
Ding Lihua turned around and walked back to the store, sat down on the sofa, picked up the tea cup, drank slowly, and waited for business to come to him.
Zhao Dahai left Ding Lihua's boat machine shop, booked a car to go to the city in two days, and immediately rushed to the fishing tackle shop.
“These two sets of poles and wheels are imported top-quality goods. As long as the line is kept constant, a fish weighing two hundred pounds can be caught.”
Wu Guodong pointed to the fish in front of him. While looking at the two sets of poles and wheels, Zhao Dahai stood in front of him. He had been here many times and bought a lot of lines and lead weights. They were all accessories. He had never bought poles and wheels before. This was the first time. It's a top-quality product right from the start. A set of poles and wheels costs less than 20,000 yuan, which is not a small sum.
“Okay!”
“The price is cheaper.”
Zhao Dahai went out to sea a few days ago and did not buy any new equipment. Now that he has taken the speedboat, he must prepare fishing rods and wheels. Hand-cranked spinning wheels and rods have advantages but also disadvantages. They are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Fishing is not just for fun but for production. Speed and time, including saving energy, must be considered. An electric winch must be equipped. I don’t need to mention it, but it must be there.
Zhao Dahai picked up a huge electric winch with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters. It exuded a metallic luster and was full of weight. Every time he came to the fishing tackle shop, he was so greedy that he had understood the various parameters earlier. They are poles and wheels that are tried and tested and used a lot. As long as the price is right, you can not consider buying them.
“A set of single pole and single wheel is 18,000.”
“Get two sets and get a discount, a total of 35,000. Free maintenance is provided twice a year. Subsequent maintenance every The charge is three hundred yuan per time.”
“The warranty depends on the official time. Our store will provide another one year warranty.”
Wu Guodong took the calculator and calculated for a while, then quoted the price.
“Okay!”
“That’s the price!”
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and agreed to the price. Wu Guodong is not the only one who opens a fishing tackle shop in the town. There is competition. It's very fierce and the prices are transparent. People who spend so much money to buy wheels are from the local circle. Wu Guodong doesn't dare to raise prices randomly. If his reputation is ruined, his business will be greatly affected.
Zhao Dahai chose a "heavy weapon" and spent 8,000 yuan on a set of "light weapons". The former is mainly used to catch big fish over fifty kilograms, and the latter is used to catch black sea bream and yellow sea bream in the deep sea. Fish like chickens, and then things like lines, lead weights, and scales.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fully loaded tricycle, which totaled almost 50,000 yuan, and sighed that he was really different now, spending tens of thousands of yuan at once.
"Boss Zhao."
"Are you playing by yourself or buying a boat?"
Wu Guodong carried a box of lead weights for Zhao Dahai and placed it on the tricycle. , there are only two types of people who "buy" in this way, one is the hardcore player, and the other is the boat boss who bought his own boat and plans to take guests out to sea for fishing.
“Just bought a boat.”
"Pick up the goods and launch them into the water in two days."
"We must hurry up and put the poles and wheels together. When the ship arrives, we will immediately go to sea to make money."
Zhao Dahai nodded. The owner of a fishing tackle shop like Wu Guodong knows many people who like to go fishing and will introduce speedboats to others. He is not in a hurry. It takes two days for the boat to be launched. For the first time, he runs by himself. Only when he is familiar with the fishing spots can he catch fish. If you can lead people, as long as your boat can catch fish, your reputation will naturally spread. There is no need for fishing tackle shop owners like Wu Guodong to introduce the business. Catching fish is the last word in this industry. "Wealth lies in the deep mountains and people have knowledge", and the same principle applies to fishing.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on?”
Wu Guodong stood at the door of the store and watched Zhao Dahai's tricycle drive farther and farther. He felt a little strange. Generally, people who buy a speedboat leave a phone number or name here.
Wu Guodong shook his head, didn’t think much, and turned back to the store. Zhao Daping didn’t tell his name or leave his phone number, it wouldn’t affect his business.
The night is dark.
There is no moon in the sky.
I can’t see my fingers.
In an open space in the middle of a small forest not far from the entrance of Dashi Village, there were two people and a dog.
Zhao Dahai came early in the morning, and it was the time we agreed to meet every Monday.
“I’ll pick up the boat tomorrow!”
“Have you found my second uncle?”
……
“Did you drive back directly?”
……
“What time will we be able to return to Langtou Village?”
……
"Are you the only one who went with my second uncle? Do you want to find a few more people?"
...
Ding Xiaoxiang kept asking questions one after another.
Zhao Dahai smiled, Ding Xiaoxiang was more nervous than herself.
“I went to see your second uncle the next day and agreed to pick up the boat together tomorrow.”
……
"The factory is connected to the sea."
"If there is no problem with the speedboat, the crane will lift it into the sea and I will drive it back directly."
"It's not very far, one or two hours is enough. "
......
"I called a few people to go take a look. No one can tell if there is anything we need help with. "
"It's safer to have more people on the road."
......
Zhao Dahai waited for Ding Xiaoxiang to finish asking everything before answering one by one.
“Hey!”
“Okay.”
"Just arrange it."
Ding Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief. This is a big event and must be arranged properly.
"When will you have time? Didn't you say what you said last time? When I buy a new boat, I will have to call you when I launch it."
Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang , Yehei can’t see his face but his eyes are shining.
“Huh?”
"In this case, it has to be done in the afternoon!"
"In the morning, I have to help my mother with her business, selling fish, shrimps and crabs, so she is too busy."
"But generally it is not only in the morning. Is it better?"
"I've already seen the boat when I bought it."
"How about you pick a good time and go there if I can? , if you can’t go, nothing will happen.”
Ding Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment. The launching of a new ship was a big event, so one had to look at the day and choose the right time.
“Ha!”
“I’m not that particular. If you have time in the afternoon, choose the afternoon.”
“How about this, tomorrow morning will be two or three in the afternoon You can get back to the village at about 4:00 pm.”
Zhao Dahai made a decision directly. The date of launching the new ship was important, but whether Ding Xiaoxiang could come over was more important.
“Okay!”
“Then it’s settled!”
“I’ll be at the dock of your village at four o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
“ I have to ask Yang Qin to go with me.”
Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Zhao Dahai wanted to see the speedboat officially launched with her own eyes, and she was very happy.
Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang walk away, patted the little girl who was following him on the head, walked out of the small clearing in the woods, and rode a tricycle back to the village.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai got up, opened the door of his room, and immediately saw the lights in the main room, and his grandma Zhong Cuihua sitting on a stool.
“Grandma!”
"Why are you up so early?"
"How about you go to the city with me?"
Zhao Dahai smiled and went to pick up the speedboat today. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was excited. I couldn't sleep and got up early in the morning.
“You go to the city to do something, I’ll join in the fun.”
“I’ll just wait at the dock.”
Zhong Cuihua smiled and shook her head.
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen to cook breakfast. Half an hour later, three people, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da, came. They shouted last night that they would go to the city to pick up a speedboat with him today and eat at home in the morning. After breakfast, we went out immediately and met Ding Lihua in the town. The five of us drove to the city and went directly to the speedboat factory.
“Huh?”
“The sea!”
“Is this the boat you bought?”
……
“This is amazing!”
……
“Yo!”
“It’s amazing that this speedboat is parked at the Langtou Village Pier. ! ”
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had known that Zhao Dahai had bought a speedboat. They always thought it would cost more than 200,000 yuan, but they did not expect to buy such a speedboat.
Zhao Dahai smiled and bought the good one to avoid having to change it in the future, which would cost more money.
“Ha!”
“That’s a bit proud of me!”
"Who doesn't want to buy a good one? You have to be rich, right?"
......
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"This speedboat is really big and impressive!"
……
"There's nothing wrong with running to the open sea now!"
......
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all happy. No one who goes to sea wants to buy a bigger and more advanced boat, but he must have money on hand.
“Come on, come on!”
……
"Please help check it out."
......
Ding Lihua held the speedboat configuration list in his hand and started working immediately. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Day were all experienced people. , everyone started to help with the inspection. There were many people and the speed was fast. I checked twice and found that there was no shortage of things. The installation was in place and there was no problem.
Lu Mingzhi had arranged the trailer and crane early, and there were no problems with the static inspection. He immediately towed the speedboat to the small pier that opens to the sea behind the factory and hoisted it to the water.
“Boss Zhao.”
"Come!"
"How about trying this speedboat!"
Lu Mingzhi handed the key to Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai looked back. Ding Lihua, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all came up, inserted the key, twisted it, the speedboat was powered on, and all the dashboards began to light up.
Zhao Dahai took a deep breath and pressed the start button. The engine made a slight but deep and clean sound.
Zhao Dahai held the steering wheel with one hand, turned it, and tried the feel. It was neither light nor heavy, just right. He pushed the accelerator, and the speedboat left the dock and drove out. When it reached the open sea, the speed became faster and faster, quickly reaching forty knots. .
Zhao Dahai drove for a while, after a while, he slowed down and handed the speedboat to Ding Lihua. Ding Lihua drove the speedboat, accelerating, decelerating and turning. While operating, he listened to the sound of the engine, looked at the instrument panel, navigated the fish detection radar... including the lights on the fishing boat, and checked and tested everything.
“Manager Lu!”
“This speedboat is really good!”
"The price is worth it!"
Ding Lihua drove the speedboat back to the shipyard and parked it steadily at the small dock. The speedboat bought by Zhao Dahai was equipped with top-notch equipment and was very well adjusted.
“Ha!”
“I feel relieved when Boss Zhao is satisfied!”
Lu Mingzhi laughed. Ding Lihua looked like a veteran at first glance. Zhao Dahai came to inspect the goods. Everything was fine. The speedboat was successfully sold.
Zhao Dahai and Lu Mingzhi went to complete the formalities and pay the final payment.
“This speedboat is really amazing!”
……
“How long has it been since Zhao Dahai started going to sea? Can he afford such a good speedboat? !”
……
"Why don't we find a way to buy one? I can't afford this one. Let's think about one that's a little less than 200,000 yuan!"
......
"What are you buying for? ? Put it on the dock? "Which one of you has the ability to do the sea?"
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are very envious, but they know that they have no such ability, so there is no point in buying it. , I can only talk about it.
The sun is shining brightly.
The sea is wide.
Endless as far as the eye can see.
Zhao Dahai completed the remaining procedures, paid the money, drove the speedboat, and soared across the sea like a dragon. For more than an hour, he slowly stopped at the small pier of Langtou Village. There was no one at the pier at noon, but the news spread. It was very fast. Within a short time, dozens of people were surrounding the three floors and the number was increasing.
Zhao Dahai took a deep breath, very excited, stopped and called Ding Lihua, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go back to his home. When he went out in the morning, he called his grandma Zhong Cuihua to ask Ma Hongyu and others for help. , prepared for lunch, walked into the yard, saw that it was ready, and immediately called the second grandfather Zhao Shi and the second grandmother Huang Huangtao to have dinner together. After the meal, they began to prepare for the launching ceremony in the afternoon.
Dashi Village.
Ding Xiaoxiang’s home.
“Ding Xiaoxiang.”
“I asked you to hurry up! I’m so worried!”
“You are not married, so you don’t need to dress up. ”
Yang Qin shouted to Ding Xiaoxiang to hurry up.
“Bah!”
“You can’t spit out ivory from a dog’s mouth!”
“You just came back from the fish market, you have to change your clothes, right?”
“What if you smell fishy?”
Ding Xiaoxiang quickly changed her clothes, washed her face, took Yang Qin and ran to the yard, rode a scooter, and rushed to Langtou Village, directly to the pier.
“Hey!”
“I saw it! I saw it!”
“It stopped there!”
Yang Qin shouted loudly.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked over and immediately saw Zhao Dahai standing on the pier, with his second uncle Ding Lihua beside him.
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s go over and have a look!”
Yang Qin raised her feet and wanted to walk over.
“Hey!”
"We can't go there!"
Ding Xiaoxiang grabbed Yang Qin.
“What are you afraid of?”
“Many people from the village have come here. The news must have spread. If your second uncle asks, we will just say that we heard it. Others said there were big speedboats coming down to the sea to watch the excitement.”
Yang Qin knew what Ding Xiaoxiang was worried about.
"Ah?"
"Yang Qin."
"When did your brain become so good?"
"You are right!"
“That’s what my second uncle said when I asked about it later!”
When Ding Xiaoxiang thought that what Yang Qin said was right, the two held hands and rushed over at a trot. Looking at it from a distance was definitely not as good as running up close. It didn't matter if someone else's speedboat was used, but this was Zhao Dahai's speedboat.
“The sea!”
“It’s almost time!”
“You have to get on the speedboat!”
“I will set off the cannon in a moment.”
Zhong Shizhu looked at the time and reminded Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked everywhere.
Huh?
Where is Ding Xiaoxiang? Why can't I see it?
Can’t come?
Zhao Dahai was a little anxious.
“Wait ten more minutes!”
Zhao Dahai decided to wait until Ding Xiaoxiang, which is what he promised.
“Coming!”
“Uncle Shizhu!”
"I'll get on the speedboat now."
Zhao Dahai saw Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin running over hand in hand from a distance, and his heart was relieved.
“Okay!”
Zhong Shizhu didn’t know why Zhao Dahai just said to wait ten minutes and immediately changed his mind, but he ignored it and walked to the beach with a lighter in his hand. In front of the firecrackers that have been set up.
“Hey!”
"This kid Dahai is really promising!"
Huang Huangtao looked at Zhao Dahai who was on the speedboat and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Shi held a hookah in his hand and took a puff from time to time. He said nothing but had a smile on his face. Buying a speedboat worth RMB 600,000 to 700,000 is what you want, but paying cash means you are really capable and promising.
“This speedboat is really big and beautiful!”
……
"It takes six to seven hundred thousand to buy it. How can it not be beautiful?"
......
"Zhao Dahai makes so much money!"
......
“You are really capable.”
...
Zhong Cuihua looked at the speedboat and Zhao Dahai, and listened to the words of the people around her, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
"Woof woof!"
"Woof woof!"
Zhong Cuihua lowered her head. Little Naihei, who had been lying at her feet, stood up and looked outside the crowd at this time. , shouted.
"What's going on? Why are you shouting?"
Zhong Cuihua is very strange, Xiao Nai has never been like this.
“Don’t shout, don’t shout!”
Diao Cuihua patted Xiao Naihei’s head, but it was no use, and rushed forward.
“Hey!”
"Come back!"
Zhong Cuihua shouted quickly. At this time, two people came in from outside the crowd of spectators. Xiao Naihei rushed over and circled around one of them.
When Ding Xiaoxiang saw Xiao Naihei, she immediately stopped and reached out to hug her. She couldn't hold her, so she had to put it down. When she looked up, she saw an old lady looking at her.
It’s over!
Small black tits!
Why did you forget this?
Ding Xiaoxiang's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red. She knew that this must be Zhao Dahai's grandma, and she was not mentally prepared to meet in such a situation.
“Ah!?”
“Why is this dog so close to you?”
Yang Qin looked at Xiao Naihei with a confused look on his face. The local dogs in the village recognize their owners and will not talk to outsiders.
Ding Xiaoxiang didn't know how to explain it. It was impossible to directly say that this was a puppy born by her big dog some time ago and was given to Zhao Dahai to raise, and she could see him every week.
"Ding Xiaoxiang!"
"Hurry!"
"Go to your second uncle!"
Yang Qin wanted to see the speedboat, so she just asked Without thinking much, she pulled Ding Xiaoxiang and walked towards Ding Lihua.
"Ah?"
"Xiaoxiang."
"Why are you here?"
Ding Lihua watched Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin squeeze through the crowd and ran to his In front of me, it's very strange. I don't know why I came here.
“Someone in the village said that Langtou Village bought a very beautiful speedboat.”
"Yang Qin and I came here to watch the fun. I didn't expect you to come here."
Ding Xiaoxiang opened her mouth and told the little lies very smoothly, without her heart beating at all.
“Ha!”
“It is indeed a good speedboat. Not to mention the villages around us, even the whole city is the first one.”
Ding Li Hua nodded. Zhao Dahai's speedboat is really powerful. It has been more than two hours since we returned to the dock. The village is not far away. The news must have spread. The launch of a new ship in the seaside villages and towns is a big event. There are many Everyone was watching the excitement. It was not surprising that Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin knew about it and ran over.
Zhong Cuihua looked at Ding Xiaoxiang. She was an old woman and knew immediately what was going on. She must be the girl that Zhao Dahai took Xiao Naihei to see every week. Otherwise, Xiao Naihei would not be so close to her.
Yo!
This little girl looks so good!
You have a pretty face.
The body and bones are in good order.
Zhong Cuihua kept staring at Ding Xiaoxiang. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She didn't want to worry about the speedboat or anything like that.
Ding Xiaoxiang blushed so much that she knew Zhong Cuihua had been looking at her, but she could only pretend not to know and looked at Zhao Dahai on the speedboat next to the pier.
Zhao Dahai looked at his grandma Zhong Cuihua and then at Ding Xiaoxiang, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement for a while, and waved to Zhong Shizhu who had been staring at him.
“Get into the water!”
“Good luck!”
Zhong Shizhu roared, and lit the firecrackers with the lighter in his hand. It was deafening, and puffs of green smoke rose up. The smell of gunpowder immediately filled the entire dock.
Zhao Dahai waited for the sound of firecrackers to stop. Grandma Zhong Cuihua, second grandfather Zhao Shi, second grandmother Huang Huangtao, Ding Lihua, and Zhong Shizhu all boarded the speedboat.
Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin carefully hiding behind. He saw Xiao Naihei following Ding Xiaoxiang’s feet. He immediately turned around and saw that grandma Zhong Cuihua had been staring at Ding Xiaoxiang. Stop, needless to say, the secret must have been exposed. I thought it was a bit funny, but I didn’t expect it to happen like this.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat out to sea for a circle, then returned to the dock and parked it.
“Boss Ding.”
"It's been a busy day, let's have dinner before leaving."
Zhao Dahai thought that Ding Lihua would stay for dinner, so maybe Ding Xiaoxiang would stay.
“Haha!”
“The sea.”
“There is something going on in the store!”
"I'll definitely come to your house when I'm free another day!"
Ding Lihua shook his head. Zhao Dahai had to greet the people at home today. He was an outsider anyway. There was no reason to stay after he was busy. Leave with Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin.
Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang leave with Ding Lihua. Today was a big day for him. He wanted to keep Ding Xiaoxiang here for dinner, but he had no choice. He was not sure about his relationship with Ding Xiaoxiang now. This situation was not right. Those who may stay must work harder and establish a relationship with Ding Xiaoxiang as soon as possible.
“Work hard!”
“Come on!”
"Get married early!"
Zhao Dahai turned around and called his second grandfather, Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu, to go home. They had a simple meal for lunch, but they had to be delicious at night.
Night falls.
The courtyard of Zhao Dahai's house was brightly lit, and there were bursts of lively sounds, which lasted until one o'clock in the morning before slowly dissipating.
Zhao Dahai sent away his second grandfather, Zhao Shi, and Zhong Shizhu, and returned to the yard. He washed the dishes and put away the dishes, took a basket, filled it with the food and wine he had saved earlier, and carried it out to the dock. .
