4, sea fishing(1/2)
Lu Ao woke up early the next morning. After breakfast, he went to the Public Security Bureau. The people in the Public Security Bureau were shocked when they knew it was him.
Almost everyone thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to come back alive.
A group of police officers served tea and water and asked what had happened in the past few days.
Lu Ao ignored the part about turning into a lizard and retold the version he told Tian Mingzhi and others.
All the police officers lamented that he was very lucky.
Before the formal questioning, Officer Liao, who was handling the case, reminded him, "If you are injured, you can make a claim with the hospital's settlement receipt."
What Lu Ao fears most now is going to the hospital for a check-up.
He hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm very lucky and I was basically uninjured."
"That's good." Officer Liao said, "If there is no problem with you, we will ask you what happened that day. This interview is videotaped. I hope you will be honest and fair."
Lu Ao nodded.
Officer Liao started to ask, while his colleague next to him was taking notes.
Lu Ao tried his best to say what he could, but couldn't explain clearly what he couldn't.
After struggling for more than half an hour, Officer Liao finally completed the inquiry and asked him to read the relevant inquiry records and sign for confirmation.
Lu Ao took a look and signed his name if there was no problem.
Officer Liao's colleague turned off the recorder.
Seeing that their questioning had ended, Lu Ao asked one more question, "May I ask about the people who chased me and beat me up that night? They..."
"They are all in custody, big and small." Officer Liao comforted him, "Don't worry, no one can come out to retaliate against you."
"I heard them say that night that some of them were under fourteen years old."
"Yes, but even if you are dissatisfied, you will be sent to a juvenile detention center for correction." Officer Liao was quite sad, "They are all habitual offenders. Even if they go to a juvenile detention center, they will only start in one year."
Lu Ao narrowed his eyes and suppressed the fierceness in his heart.
He was not worried that this group of people would come seeking revenge, he wanted to seek revenge.
Since the police have reported the case and the gangsters are still in the detention center, this matter can only be left as it is for the time being.
It's those guys who are lucky, otherwise they would have shed their skin even if they didn't die.
After coming out of the police station, Lu Ao went directly to the mobile phone store and bought the mobile phone he used before. He also went to apply for a new phone card and downloaded commonly used software.
He specifically went to WeChat to tell Ge Ranzhou that he had just gone to the police station.
Ge Ranzhou responded quickly: What did the police say? Have all those scum been arrested?
- Well, he was caught
Ge Ranzhou breathed a big sigh of relief: Then I'm relieved. Let's go out to eat together on the weekend. I'll treat you. It's bad luck to go there.
-Okay, I just have something to tell you.
Ge Ranzhou had a strange premonition in his heart: What are you talking about?
Lu Ao said: Let’s talk about it then.
He plans to find another way to make a living, and now he has some ideas.
If he just opened a supermarket and made a net profit of RMB 8,000 a month, he might not be able to support himself.
On the other hand, if you rely on the sea to make a living, there is a lot to be done.
After talking to Ge Ranzhou, Lu Ao entered Tian Mingzhi's WeChat number from memory.
Find friends and add friends.
Almost as soon as his application for joining was sent, it was approved.
Tian Mingzhi: Lu Shen!!! Come out and pump the puddle?
Lu Ao pointed his fingers and asked: "You haven't set off yet?"
-No, the island I went to today has to wait until the tide recedes in the afternoon before the water can be drained. Now half of it is still flooded.
-If you come, we can start early and fish in the sea for two hours first.
-I have prepared nest materials and fishing rods. I guarantee that the fishing rods will be smoother than yesterday.
-How about it, Lu Shen, are you coming?
The fish Lu Ao caught yesterday was sold for 1,286 yuan. Even excluding the 100 yuan given to Lu Ao and after tax, each of them can still get more than 200 yuan.
Coupled with the fish they caught from the puddles, their personal income yesterday directly exceeded 500!
Tian Mingzhi now looks very pleased with Lu Ao.
In the time it took Lu Ao to say one sentence, he had already typed a bunch of words.
Lu Ao looked at his invitation, thought for a moment, and finally agreed.
-Lu Shen, where are you? We drove to pick you up, and we just happened to treat you to dinner. Yesterday you sold the fish you gave us for more than a thousand, and we went to have a feast.
Lu Ao didn't agree. He looked at the time and replied: Just gather at the dock at 11:30, don't waste time.
-Okay, no problem. Let's meet at half past eleven.
Lu Ao turned off his phone and took a taxi directly to a nearby buffet restaurant with a good reputation.
He now feels fuller after eating meat than anything else.
When he went to the cafeteria, he directly asked for an oven and grilled raw meat while eating cooked meat.
It's only early ten o'clock in the morning, and there are not many people in the cafeteria but few dishes.
Lu Ao quietly ate a lot of meat without any ceremony, until he was 80% full, and then went out to take a taxi to the pier.
Tian Mingzhi and the other three were quite in awe of Lu Ao, so they prepared their things in advance and waited at the dock.
Lu Ao has a very handsome appearance, and his height and leg length are well proportioned. You can recognize him from afar.
As soon as he got out of the car, Tian Mingzhi and the other two people saw him.
Tian Mingzhi raised his hand, "Lu Shen, here!"
Lu Ao went over and asked, "Are the bait and other things ready?"
"Get ready, we just bought three kilograms of fresh prawns." Tian Mingzhi opened the bag and showed it to Lu Ao, "They are all still alive and kicking."
Lu Ao glanced at it and asked, "How much is it?"
"It's quite cheap, farmed goods, forty-five pounds per pound." Tian Mingzhi's bright eyes revealed ambition, "It's easier to catch big fish if you buy shrimps!"
"It's quite easy."
Lu Ao silently calculated that three pounds of shrimp cost one hundred and thirty-five yuan. If divided equally among four people, each person should pay about thirty-four yuan.
He took out his mobile phone: "I'll transfer money to you."
"Hey, no, no, no, no." Tian Mingzhi hurriedly held him down and rushed to say, "Lu Shen, you are too polite. Didn't we sell fish yesterday? Just pay for the shrimp from there."
Hu Xingjin also chimed in, "Give us all the money from selling the fish yesterday. We have already taken advantage. How can we ask for your money again?"
When Lu Ao saw that they really didn't want it, he was not polite to them.
The four of them got ready, loaded their things onto the fishing boat, and set off directly.
Chen Shengrong sailed the boat, while Tian Mingzhi and the others prepared fishing rods for fishing.
Tian Mingzhi asked for advice: "We are going to Huangfan Island today. Lu Shen, you will see where it is suitable for fishing later. If there is a suitable place, just call us and we will stop."
Lu Ao nodded and asked, "You don't usually use fishing nets to fish?"
"Basically not, we are not familiar with the ocean currents, so we can't eat that bowl of rice." Tian Mingzhi lamented, "We have tried it before, and we lost tens of thousands of dollars in a year, so we have never thought about that idea again." Lu
God is interested in fishing?”
"Kind of."
Tian Mingzhi shook his head, "You can't make much money by fishing now. The fishery tax is so high and the risks are high. There are very few small fishing boats going out to sea."
Lu Ao understood.
His parents used to be fishermen, and working at sea was very risky. Even though there was no such high fishery tax at that time, the life of the fishermen was not easy.
Many people go out to fish, and they can only catch a lot of fish in ten or eight days in a month. The fish they catch in the remaining twenty days are often not enough for gas.
This is a good thing that only happens on calm days. Once there is a typhoon and heavy rain, the fishermen can only rest at home.
If you fail to go back in time during a typhoon, your life may be lost accidentally.
Even if we get back in time, if there is a typhoon, we still have to get the boat home in time. Once the boat is damaged, it will take three to five thousand to repair it.
Fishermen also often say that it is easy to buy a boat but difficult to maintain a boat.
When you buy a fishing boat and berth it in a harbor, you have to pay a berthing fee every month, which can range from several hundred a month to thousands or tens of thousands a year.
It is also difficult to maintain a fishing boat. It is exposed to wind, sun, wind and waves, and the boat needs maintenance every now and then. This costs a lot of money.
It’s common to spend hundreds of dollars on gas when you go out to sea. If you don’t harvest much that day, not only will you have no income, but you will also lose the gas money.
