After eating the melon seeds, the people from the shipyard who were going to deliver the anti-piracy equipment had not arrived yet.
Xiang Yang did not keep anyone idle, and asked the crew to wash the sheets in the dormitory themselves.
Fishing boats drift on the sea for a long time. Although there are certain moisture-proof measures in the dormitory, it is still relatively humid. Before going out to sea next time, it must be thoroughly cleaned.
For this purpose, Xiang Yang specially asked the dry cleaning shop in the town to tow several oversized washing machines over by truck.
Bedding and other things are actually quite personal, and many crew members are unwilling to wash them with others, so they can only queue up one by one to wash them. It will take several hours before all the bedding is washed, dried and ironed.
"ha!"
"So fragrant and so dry!"
Fang Youqun was holding his quilt. His quilt was originally dirty and damp. After washing, the whole quilt looked brand new, very dry, and had a faint fragrance.
Chen Qingsheng looked at him with disdain, "Among so many people, your quilt is the dirtiest. Tell me the truth, do you even wash your feet before going to bed at night?"
Fang Youqun immediately denied it, "I don't have that."
Chen Qingsheng laughed, turned around and suggested to Xiang Yang: "Captain, I think it is necessary to carry out housekeeping in the dormitory on the ship."
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "Housekeeping is their own business. They are already grown up, so they should know how to make themselves live comfortably."
As for the living area on the fishing boat, Xiang Yang generally would not interfere unless there was a fight or gambling among the crew.
Of course, you can't go too far.
If there are four people in a dormitory, and three of them say that one person makes the dormitory dirty and smells bad, Xiang Yang will definitely go and talk to that person.
Fortunately, so far, no such person has appeared on Xiang Yang’s fishing boat.
Xiang Yang picked up his bedding and turned to walk into the cabin.
Xiang Yang lived in a single room on the boat. The room was arranged with one bedroom and one living room. In the bedroom, in addition to a desk, there was also a classic Simmons mattress. Various beautiful shells were placed on the bed frame. The decoration in the room was generous and exquisite. There was also a large safe next to the bed.
It was a little dark in the cabin. Xiang Yang turned on the small blue light at the bedside and then spread the bedding neatly on the bed.
Xiang Yang's house is not only one of the two largest dormitories on the ship, but also one of the best located rooms on the entire ship.
There is a small window above the desk. When lying on the bed, you can see the scenery outside through the window.
At this time, Qinglongwan was at high tide. The waves kept hitting the shore, raising white waves. The blue sky was the same color as the sea.
"Chiu—"
"Chiu—"
A Steller's sea eagle landed in front of Xiang Yang's window and pecked at it with its beak.
The two Steller's sea eagles on the boat may have been frozen in Antarctica, and they seemed particularly lively after returning to Qinglongwan.
Xiang Yang greeted the Steller's sea eagle with a smile, then stood up, took a coat from the closet, put it on, and lay down on the bed.
Xiang Yang had nothing to do until the people from the shipyard came.
If the people from the shipyard arrived, the crew on duty on the ship would definitely come to inform Xiang Yang.
Therefore, Xiang Yang, who had nothing to do, prepared to take a nap in the cabin.
Xiang Yang is sleeping here.
Outside, Chen Qingsheng's life was not so easy. He took the lead in leading the crew to clean the cabin inside and out, especially the living area. He pulled up the carpets in the aisle, cleaned under the carpets, and then brushed the carpets again with a brush.
It is worth mentioning that during the entire cleaning process, the crew members were all laughing and chatting. Except for Xiang Yang who hid back in the cabin and was lazy, no crew member was just pretending.
Everyone on the boat, from top to bottom, takes great care of this fishing boat.
Finally, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, three large trucks stopped at the dock.
The watchtower was not transported here in one piece; it was split into more than a dozen small parts and needed to be reinstalled after it was transported.
Xiang Yang, who was in the cabin, heard the sound of the truck and woke up.
When he looked at the time, it was already afternoon, and Xiang Yang hurried out of the cabin.
"Captain, you finally got up. I was just about to call you when the person from the lookout came over and asked for your signature." Chen Qingsheng handed Xiang Yang several sheets of printed paper filled with words.
Xiang Yang glanced at the contract and asked in surprise: "This observation tower will cost another 10,000 yuan for installation?"
A sturdy man in blue overalls and a white helmet said, "Boss Xiang, you don't have to worry about this. It's for ships purchased from other shipyards. Your ship was purchased from our factory, so the installation fee is naturally free. You only need to pay for the lookout."
Xiang Yang nodded, then signed the paper, "I have already transferred the money to your company in advance."
The sturdy man in blue overalls put away the contract and said, "I know, Boss Xiang, is the observation tower being installed now?"
Xiang Yang asked: "How long will it take to install?"
The sturdy man in blue overalls frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If we install it now, it will be ready by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Xiang Yang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Such a large observation tower can be installed in just two days?"
"Boss Xiang, you don't know that this lookout tower has actually been installed. We just need to reassemble it. Moreover, this lookout tower is specially designed according to the groove in the cabin of this ship, so the installation speed is naturally faster." The burly man in blue work clothes explained with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded. He didn't understand the principle behind it, but it was good news for him that the lookout tower could be installed within two days.
"By the way, I also want to install a circle of anti-pirate spikes around the fishing boat. Do you have anti-pirate spikes in your cabin for sale?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Anti-pirate thorns?"
The sturdy man in blue overalls was surprised, and then said, "Now there is no shipyard that specializes in producing this kind of anti-pirate spikes. Mr. Xiang, the cost of anti-pirate spikes is too high. It is not worth it for you. And to be honest, the effect of anti-pirate spikes is actually the same as that of anti-pirate wire rings. If combined with electric current, the effect of steel wire may be better than that of steel spikes."
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "I still want to add a circle of retractable anti-pirate spikes around my boat. The anti-pirate spikes can be put away on weekdays. If you use steel wire, it is difficult to see how to put it away. It is not a good idea to always put a circle of steel wire around the fishing boat."
