Chapter 132 Chartering a boat
Lin Panpan smiled slightly. Her family has always supported her, and it feels really good.
The next morning they went straight up the mountain. They had set two traps last time, but they didn't know if they had any gains.
Lin Panpan walked directly to the trap and smiled: "There's movement..."
Sure enough, I saw something struggling in the trap. Looking down, I saw it was another big wild boar with two pheasants next to it.
The two pheasants were still flapping their wings. Lin Panpan's eyes lit up: "We are so lucky! There are so many wild boars in this mountain."
Lin Feng said helplessly: "There are so many wild boars in our area. You have no idea how much crops they destroy every year."
Wild boars are omnivorous animals with large appetites and often appear in groups in farmland.
Wild boars are strong and use their noses to dig the soil and their mouths to bite when foraging. They not only eat crops directly, but also trample on large tracts of crops, causing them to fall over and break, seriously affecting the harvest.
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "We'll have the ingredients for the wedding banquet in a few days. But with more than 50 tables, one wild boar won't be enough. Let's see what else we can catch."
Two yellow sheep were caught in another trap. Lin Panpan said with a smile, "Well...it seems we have mutton. We can also make some grilled lamb chops, which would be pretty good."
After running around in the mountains for a day, I caught a wild boar, six hares, three roe deer, a dozen pheasants, and two gazelles. Today's harvest was pretty good.
Lin Panpan was exhausted:
"Send these things to our farm and raise them for two days.
Tomorrow we will go fishing at sea, and when we get home, we will make pheasant soup tonight..."
Xiaopang's eyes widened as he asked, "What? Going fishing in the sea?"
"Yes! Actually, I'm not very familiar with fishing at sea, but I want to give it a try. I'll make something in the evening to see if it will be useful for those fish." Lin Panpan said.
In fact, she planned to make some bait. There were a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in the ground traps at home, so she used these things as bait.
Chop them into pieces and put them in a pot to cook. You can add a little white wine and soy sauce while cooking. After cooking, take them out and mix them with an appropriate amount of wheat bran or corn flour to make seafood-flavored bait.
Of course, this was what she heard when she was working in the hotel industry. She wasn't sure if it would actually work.
In the evening, she went to Grandma Yao's place. Grandma Yao was now being taken care of by Qin Ran and was living a good life.
Lin Panpan brought two pheasants. Grandma Yao smiled and said, "You're so busy that you don't even have to go home. How are your studies going recently? Have you memorized what I asked you to memorize?"
"I've memorized it. How about you test me? I even used my medical skills to save someone recently."
"What? How long have you been learning? You dare to save people? How did you save them? Tell me in detail." Grandma Yao was really scared by her.
Lin Panpan explained the whole story, and Grandma Medicine nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, the prescription is also good, little girl, it's good! Have you been busy recently?"
"Busy, I'm very busy. Someone asked me to cook in a few days. They booked 50 tables."
"You're really busy. You have to make money, study medicine, and go to school. How can you have so much time?"
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Take it one step at a time. I'll work during the day and go to work at night. I want to give it a try."
Granny Yao nodded. "It's good to be young! It's good to be bold and daring. You don't have to worry about me. I have Qin Ran to take care of me, so it won't be a big problem."
Lin Panpan chatted for a while before leaving.
The next day, they drove the tractor to the beach early in the morning.
It takes six or seven hours to get to the beach from here, which is quite far.
Lin Feng's face was full of excitement: "I came to the beach once when I was a child. It's been a long time since I came here. Auntie, can we catch fish in the sea?"
Lin Panpan smiled faintly and said:
"Actually, I'm not sure. If we can't catch any fish in the sea today, why don't we go fishing in the river tomorrow?
I just don’t know how much it would cost to charter a boat.”
"Ah? Charter a boat?" Lin Weihua was quite shocked.
Lin Weimin said calmly, "Right now, renting a fishing boat for a day costs around 50 yuan. If you want a better one, it would cost more than 100 yuan."
Lin Panpan chuckled and said, "Second brother knows a lot!"
"Every classmate lives by the sea. I will take you to find him later. His family has a boat. You can ask him then." Lin Weimin said.
After driving the tractor for more than 6 hours, they finally arrived at the destination and Lin Weimin went straight to find his classmates.
Lin Weimin's classmate Sun Haining said with a smile: "My family has two boats, one big and one small. The small boat went out to sea today. As for the big boat, it costs 50 yuan to rent it for a day."
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Is there anyone to drive the boat for us?"
"Yes! I can drive the boat. I'll call a few brothers and make sure you have a good time. What are you planning to do this time?
Weimin, I told you to work with me a long time ago, but you refused to listen. We can earn dozens of dollars a day here." Sun Haining said.
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I just came here to play with my sister. She wanted to see if she could catch any sea fish."
Sun Haining looked at Lin Panpan and said with a smile:
"Hey! It's Panpan! Girls change a lot when they grow up. I really didn't recognize her.
I remember when I was little, I had pigtails and followed you around all day long. I never thought you'd grown up so fast."
"Come on, stop teasing my sister and let's go!"
Lin Panpan directly took out 100 and said, "Brother Haining, take this money. I can't let you lose money when I let you go out to sea."
"We are all family, there is no need for so much."
"Yes, yes, take it. When we really go to sea, please teach us more. We don't know anything."
Sun Haining didn't act pretentiously and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's go out to sea!"
Sun Haining's family's big boat is a wooden fishing boat with a simple deck on which fishing nets, fishing boxes and other fishing tools are placed. There is a small cabin in the middle of the boat for storing items and for fishermen to rest.
The cockpit is high up at the bow or stern to provide a better view of the sea conditions.
This type of boat is quite common. Sun Haining took more than a dozen brothers and Lin Panpan to the fishing area.
On the sea, flocks of seagulls circle and fly from time to time, their white figures contrasting with the blue sea.
Sun Haining walked onto the deck and looked at Lin Panpan and said, "Isn't the sea beautiful? That's the fishing area over there. There are still quite a lot of people fishing right now. I'll take you to find a good spot later."
Lin Panpan nodded and said, "We also brought equipment, including two fishing nets. Do you think these nets can be used?"
Sun Haining looked at the fishing net and said:
"It works, of course. This fishing net is pretty strong.
But fishing also depends on luck. When we are lucky, we can come back with a full catch."
