Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

He had stayed up many nights, and even when he almost fell asleep while handling mackerel, he had never been this tired as today.

He didn't want to make any more mistakes, so he held on until the very last moment.

Captain Yang's radiant appearance is likely due to the help of traditional Chinese medicine.

When Yang Bai saw that Ma Yongkang needed traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"Ningning's medicine is always effective. If we catch her today, I guarantee she'll be able to see the sun today while she's still sober."

His words were full of pride for Zhang Ning.

He insisted that all the crew members should feel that his wife's medical skills were superb.

Ma Yongkang's eyelids opened and closed, and he waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and take a nap. Call me when we get to Hong Kong."

He was so tired that he was oblivious to the world around him, and he held onto the handrail as he went upstairs.

Yang Bai steered the boat, letting the people on board rest first. Once ashore, the seafood company's people would naturally come and distribute the seafood.

As he approached the shore, he glanced around and saw that quite a few people had already arrived.

Most of the workers inside were porters, inventory keepers, and sorters from seafood companies.

Several more seafood trucks were waiting in the wings.

As soon as Yang Bai disembarked, Hou Sanli immediately came over to inquire about today's catch.

"How's the Yangbai? Do you have 60,000 jin?"

If we hadn't received 60,000 jin (30,000 kg) of supplies at the beginning, things would have been really difficult.

Yang Bai pointed to the boat and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Hou Sanli frowned. "What do you mean, 'see for yourself'? That will take a long time. I still have things to do upstairs."

He patted Yang Bai on the shoulder, "Tell me quickly, so I can go up in peace."

Yang Bai pointed to the 100-ton ship, "That 100-ton ship weighs 70,000 jin (35,000 kg). Do you think that's enough?"

Hou Sanli's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You, what did you say? Seventy thousand jin?"

This is the last fishing season for squid. It's unthinkable that a 100-ton ship could carry 70,000 kilograms of squid.

His best idea was that if all the boats were added together, the total weight would be over 60,000 jin.

As a result, the ship weighed 70,000 jin (35,000 kg).

"Are you kidding me, or is this 70,000 jin (35,000 kg) the total amount of fish?"

Yang Bai shook his head. "It's 70,000 catties of squid. Don't believe me? Stay here and see for yourself. I'm going home now."

He'd been up until now and wanted to go back to sleep; he didn't have time to waste chatting with Hou Sanli.

"Okay, you're good."

Hou Sanli immediately organized people to start working.

"First, unload all the fish that haven't been sorted yet from the boat and sort them. Then, people will take turns carrying the boxes and weighing them."

"Remember, this batch of goods is for Japan. Make sure to record everything carefully!"

After he finished speaking, every worker on the dock began to set off.

As batches of goods were sorted and weighed, trucks carrying aquatic products left the dock one by one.

The data was constantly being recorded on paper.

It wasn't until noon that everything was finished, and the total squid production was presented on Hou Sanli's table.

He picked up the report and started reading it; he was so engrossed in it that he felt numb.

"Really, a 100-ton ship weighs 71,000 jin, so the total weight is 120,000 jin."

His chin almost hit the table.

Even during the peak summer squid season, a 100-ton boat might not be able to catch this many.

It seems that Yang Bai's estimate of 660,000 jin in ten days was quite conservative.

The output in ten days is estimated to reach 800,000 to 900,000.

Haiba Village.

When Yang Bai woke up, many of his brothers came to the door.

Chen Dahai asked, "Yang Bai, should we go to the medical station or go to your house?"

That's right, they all came here asking for medicine.

With Yang Bai's precedent before them, they naturally all wanted to come.

Besides, Captain Yang is paying for it, so why not?

Yang Bai shook his head and asked first.

Do you have any dietary restrictions regarding traditional Chinese medicine?

Everyone shook their heads.

Western medicine is scarce in the village, so most of the patients still take traditional Chinese medicine, and they are all aware of whether they have any dietary restrictions when taking any medicine.

Yang Bai opened the wooden box next to him.

"If there are no dietary restrictions, then we'll use the same medicine packets. This prescription is suitable for everyone."

Ningning had already finished preparing it around noon, and when she went to the restroom, she happened to see it and casually carried it down.

Zhang Ningye had already instructed that as long as there were no dietary restrictions, it could be used.

"Two packs per person for one day, come pick them up here again tomorrow."

After they finished queuing up to receive their supplies, there were still crew members who hadn't arrived yet, and he still had to take them there.

After receiving the money, Yang Bai glanced at his watch and saw that it was past four o'clock.

Yang Bai took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the cabinet, stuffed it into a sack, then added a medicine packet and set off.

Upon arriving at the port, Wang Qun was sitting in a chair smoking.

Yang Bai took out the sack, pulled out two packets of medicine, and said, "The timing is all set, right?"

Wang Qun nodded, looking at the medicine packet in his hand. "What's this?"

Yang Bai stuffed the medicine packet into his arms, "This is Chinese medicine prepared by Ningning. It can regulate the body. Take it and drink it. Everyone has some."

Wang Qun lit a cigarette and smelled the medicine packet.

Thanks.

Yang Bai pulled another pack of cigarettes out of the sack.

When Wang Qun saw a Chinese cigarette, his eyes widened like a cow's.

He stared intently at Hua Zi.

"Yang Bai, Captain Yang, did you buy it from that place I mentioned?"

Yang Bai laughed and said, "That's right, this is a 20-yuan pack with a filter."

Twenty dollars is equivalent to half a month's wages for an ordinary worker.

Wang Qun was itching to buy it. His salary had increased a lot when he went to Yang Bai's boat, but he still didn't dare to buy Hua Zi.

After all, there's a whole family to support.

Yang Bai stuffed a cigarette into his hand.

"It's a gift for you, don't rush to refuse it."

Although it was a mistake made by your former apprentice yesterday, it cannot be blamed on you.

You even helped bring it forward by so many days, this is something you deserve.

Also, the two apprentices you taught were very responsible and diligent; please accept this as a token of my gratitude.

Wang Qun touched Hua Zi, his mouth almost reaching his ears with a smile.

"Captain Yang, I've followed so many captains, and I admire none of them more than you."

"You're willing to spend a fortune on an old man like me who does maintenance; no wonder everyone older than you on the ship respects you."

Many young captains don't know how to manage people. Most of them need to be trained until they are in their forties to understand human relationships and know how to convince people before they can command dozens of people.

Yang Bai was only in his early twenties, yet he managed to command the respect of everyone.

He truly excelled in the area of ​​human relationships.

He also witnessed other technical skills while on board the ship.

Such young people are outstanding wherever they go.

"Yang Bai, these two little rascals have good temperaments and are promising talents. I will nurture them well, don't worry."

Yang Bai stood up. "Alright, you can take your time drawing the water. I'll go sail first."

Wang Qun waved with a smile, "Hurry up."

He couldn't wait to open the cigarette box, take out a cigarette, and smell it.

Close your eyes and slowly savor it. Put it in your mouth, take a sip, and your soul will almost fly away.

"This tastes just right."

Wang Qun couldn't bear to miss a single sip, only throwing it away after sucking through the filter.

Yang Jun saw a pack of cigarettes in Wang Qun's hand, immediately ran over, and asked with a grin, "What's wrong?"

"Hey Lao Wang, I've got a bit of cash on me lately, can I have one?"

Wang Qun raised his hand and shoved him away, "Get lost, I wouldn't even dare to smoke this. Here, have it?"
