"Sell all your fish before dark, and then go to the pier to find me with plastic pots, baskets and electronic scales."
Before he finished speaking, he had already left. Wei Ran took the money away from the old man and put it in his pocket, then picked up the fat white cat and left the fishery market leisurely.
"Your uncle"
Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, wiped off the prices on the price tag, changed them all into single digits, and then asked the stall opposite He said, "How about I sell them all to you?"
The aunt who was reminded by the standard-minded aunt opposite nodded immediately after hearing this, walked directly over the stall, and took out a water-stained 1,000 note from her pocket. He handed the whole ruble to Wei Ran and said generously, "No need to change, the money will definitely be enough."
"You are so kind and generous"
Wei Ran was helpless She took the money handed by the other party and put it into her pocket, helped the other party pour the fish that had just been delivered into her basin, then immediately packed up the things on the stall and put them on the trolley, and quickly caught up with the fish. An old man who doesn't even know his name.
The old man looked at Wei Ran with a half-smile, then reached out and patted the big fat cat lying on his shoulder. The latter immediately jumped onto the trolley and turned on the electronic scale. After stepping around in circles, I finally chose a comfortable position to lie down.
"Why did that crazy female Dalia ask you to come to me?" The old man asked slowly as he walked. While speaking, he also took out a crumpled handbag from his pocket. He took out a cigarette box and put it into his mouth to light it.
“She didn’t say,” Wei Ran replied honestly, “I don’t even know your name.”
“Since she didn’t say, please give me some help. It's a busy day." At this point, the old man introduced himself, "The name doesn't matter, just call me Ivan. What's your name?"
< p> "Yes, Victor." Wei Ran replied patiently, he wanted to see what tricks the old man wanted to do.“Can you sail a boat?” the old man who called himself Ivan asked with interest.
"No," Wei Ran replied frankly.
"It doesn't matter, I will teach you how to sail a boat in the next two days. Of course, you have to work for me."
Ivan pointed at this point and pointed not far away "Before that, go buy some lunch and come back. Remember to buy two bottles of vodka and a bottle of pickles, two cans of salou and a few blintzes, and some bread, if you want to give it to me." If you want some small gifts, you can buy more beef pies."
"Wait for me"
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, handed the cart in his hand to the other party, and stepped forward. He walked towards the small restaurant designated by the other party.
According to the other party's request, Wei Ran packed enough food for the two of them to eat for a whole day, and Wei Ran continued to follow Ivan towards the dock, and finally stopped at a seemingly Beside the dilapidated fishing boats.
However, it is different from the ships around it.The same thing is that this broken boat looks much bigger. It is at least 20 meters long when Lin Lin finally comes down. Even the shape seems to be a little weird.
"Give me your lunch, and then carry the things up." Ivan said, having already taken the food and drink in Wei Ran's hand, and walked up the springboard accompanied by the big white cat. The bow of the ship.
When Weiran moved the trolley and the plastic pots and baskets onto the boat, Ivan had already set lunch on the table under the umbrella on the bow, but what surprised him Yes, you can tell by looking at the wine glasses placed by the other party that there are probably two other people enjoying this lunch.
As expected, in less than ten minutes, two more old men with a fishy smell boarded the boat, talking and laughing.
"Why is today's lunch so rich?"
After one of the old guys sat down, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then took off the wine glass on his head. The baseball cap covered his mouth and sniffed hard, then continued to ask, "Old Ivan, who is this young man?"
"The person who invited us to lunch" Ivan also picked up the cup, He bumped into the second old man who sat down and said, "His name is Victor, he is the helper I hired."
"You can afford foreign sailors for this broken ship"
After another old guy with a big beard drank the wine in the glass, he looked at Wei Ran curiously, "Why do I feel like I have seen you before?"
"Maybe Because in your eyes, Asians all look the same," Wei Ran replied with a smile.
"That makes sense"
The bearded old man picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Ivan and the old guy opposite, while keeping talking. He said, "Young man, drink the wine in the cup quickly."
Hearing this, Wei Ran picked up the cup with a smile, drank the wine in one gulp, and then let the other party help him pour it. The wine glass is full.
"The fish are all sold out" Ivan used a knife to cut off the skin of a piece of raw marinated fat meat, then threw it into his mouth and asked while chewing.
"All sold"
The old guy on Wei Ran's left who put on his baseball cap again picked up a piece of pie, took a bite, and replied vaguely, "The remaining dead fish were sold cheaply to the restaurant owned by Alyosha's son."
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, there are still some things that we need to transport back." The bearded old man followed up and said , "The shipping fee is five thousand rubles."
"Then we will have to wait a little longer today"
Ivan said, picking up the cup, "I am also very lucky today, there is a The stupid young man bought my fish at double the price."
"Double price, are you kidding me?"
The old man in the baseball cap shook his head. With a look of jealousy on his face, he said, "Why don't I meet such an idiot?"
Ivan glanced at Wei Ran, who looked calm, but stopped and stopped teasing him, and turned to Talked about feetThe deck of this ship needs to be repainted recently, or there are some electrical problems that need to be repaired. These are topics that cannot be discussed at all.
But fortunately, Wei Ran was happy to be a quiet listener and seemed to focus all his attention on the lunch on the table.
After drinking up a bottle of vodka with these three old guys, Ivan burped and stood up unsteadily and said, "Victor, if someone brings something over, please help." Move it on the boat, remember to check it with the other party's list, and sign if there is no problem.
Okay, now clear the table. If you are bored, you can go fishing on the stern deck, or help with cleaning. But don't make too much noise, I'm going to take a nap now." Before he finished speaking, Ivan had already walked into the cabin, and the two old guys who didn't even know their names, After saying hello to Wei Ran, he got into the cabin. After a while, loud snores could be heard one after another.
"What the hell am I doing here?" Wei Ran shook his head in confusion, but he was not dissatisfied.
Originally, he thought that the other party was trying to test him, so when he was eating, he was distracted by recalling the details of helping to sell fish, the characteristics of the customers who bought fish, or the things he saw along the way.
But after eating this meal, the other party not only didn’t ask anything, but his words were completely fishermen’s filial piety. He didn’t reveal any effective information at all, and there was no hint of anything that looked like a test.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran calmed down and calmly cleared away the leftovers from the table, removed the springboard connecting to the pier, and then drove away the people who were sunbathing on the deck chairs. A big white cat took his place and lay down on it.
By the way, he also took out a pair of polarized glasses from his pocket and put them on to block the slightly dazzling sunlight and his eyes that were not closed.
The drunkenness after drinking, the warm sunshine, the breeze blowing from the lake, plus the rocking of the hull caused by the waves, and the big white cat jumping on the lap and snoring, have been there all the time. Wei Ran, who was secretly observing the surroundings, couldn't help but yawn. His upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and finally he couldn't bear the irritating sleepiness and closed his eyes.
Half asleep and half awake, the shouts from the dock made him wake up instantly and opened his eyes. Then he saw a man in his forties waving his hands and calling Ivan's name. There was a dirty pickup truck parked on the dock behind him.
After rubbing his face vigorously and regaining consciousness, Wei Ran stood up and walked over, reinstalling the springboard that he had put away before.
"Isn't Old Ivan here?" the middle-aged man asked as he walked to the boat carrying his things, "Why haven't I seen you?"
"He drank. He's sleeping, and I'm here to help him." Wei Ran first pointed to the snoring cabin behind him, and then stretched out his hand, "Where's the list?"
"Oh, here." The middle-aged man quickly took it out of his pocketHe took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wei Ran.
There are not many things in this list. Apart from some fishing nets and mechanical accessories, the most common ones are hardware building materials such as colored steel tiles, galvanized pipes, and screws and nails.
Moving everything onto the deck according to the list, Wei Ran signed the list. When the middle-aged man delivering the goods drove away, the originally quiet fishing boat suddenly heard the roar of its engine. Then the two old men also got out of the cabin, and one ran to the dock to untie the cable. The other helped Wei Yan secure the building materials that had just been brought up with ropes.
Not long after, the shabby fishing boat slowly drove out of the pier, turned around in circles, and headed straight to the northeast.
"Victor, come in," Ivan in the cabin shouted at the top of his voice to Wei Ran who had just finished his work on the deck.
"Immediately" Wei Ran responded, hurriedly ran into the cabin and found Ivan who was holding the rudder.
"I will show you the way next, and you come and sail the boat."
Ivan had already let go of the rudder as he spoke, and then slowly lit a cigarette. , explained loudly and loudly, "First hold on to the rudder and maintain the current course, and then I will show you how to drive this boat."
"Okay, okay."< /p>
After Wei Ran responded at the top of his lungs, he quickly grasped the rudder, which was covered with pulp, and followed Ivan’s fingers to the instrument panel where several LCD screens were taped. superior.
However, before Ivan could speak, he discovered something different first. He couldn't help but pointed at a control switch on the instrument panel and asked in surprise, "Ivan, what are you doing?" How can a fishing boat still have a fire switch?"
"Who told you this is a fishing boat?"
Ivan, who was about to speak just now, said angrily, "Before the Soviet Union collapsed, This is a genuine patrol boat."
"Patrol boat"
"1400-class patrol boat"
Ivan patted the dashboard proudly. On the edge, he said loudly in the noisy noise, "Although it is in tatters now and has all its weapons removed, as long as you don't care about fuel consumption, it can still run at a high speed of 30 knots."
" How did you get this thing here?"
Wei Ran looked at the other party in surprise, not to mention Lake Onega, which was holding the boat at this time, even if it was Lago, 130 kilometers away. In Lake Doga, there seems to be no need to use this thing. It should be normal for this thing to appear offshore.
"Of course it was driven back along the Neva River," Ivan replied matter-of-factly, "I spent a lot of money to buy this boat."
"Using an armed patrol boat as a fishing boat"
Wei Ran asked with a grin. To put it bluntly, this is nothing unusual. For an amazing country that can use nuclear bombs to build reservoirs, use tank chassis as tractors, and even rent out decommissioned armored vehicles, this patrol boat isBeing on a fishing boat doesn't seem to be anything to be alarmed about.
“Before I decided to retire, I mainly relied on it for transportation. Fishing was just a pastime for it and me.” Ivan said with memories, “There is no road from here to Lake Ladoga. The boat can run faster than it and pull the same amount of things at the same time."
"So where are we going to keep going?" Wei Ran was too lazy to listen to the other party's show off, and shouted noisily. asked loudly over the noise.
"Don't worry, let her run slowly first, and now I will teach you how to sail the boat." Before I could finish speaking, Ivan pulled the throttle to the lowest level, and the roar suddenly decreased slightly. , the ship's speed also stabilized visibly to the naked eye.
