Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1008 The fish are fine! They are all alive!

"Wu Dabin!"

"You're right!"

"Our income in recent times is really too little. Haven't we thought of many ways? One is to go to different fishing spots where we can catch sea bass, or go to catch black porgy or yellow croaker, and go to the Windmill Corner fishing spot to catch grouper."

"But after spending so much time on it, not only did I not make any money, I even lost money."

"If this continues, the money we make will only get less and less."

"This is really a bit overwhelming. This is really a bit too much to bear."

"If you think about it, I might as well just keep fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area."

Recently, Cao Hong, like Song Tianping and the two brothers Wu Dabing and Wu Xiaobin, has been constantly thinking of various ways to catch more fish and make more money. However, until now, they have been throwing money away and have not made any money at all. If this continues, the pressure will become greater and greater.

If you stay in the island and reef foam area and fish for sea bass honestly, you can still make some money, but if you go somewhere else to fish for other fish, especially to the Windmill Foot fishing spot to fish for big grouper, you will really lose money every day.

"Ugh!"

"Cao Hong is right."

"We really can't catch many sea bass here in the island reef foam area, but if we go somewhere else and fish for other fish, we really spend money every day. The most terrible thing is that it delays the fishing of sea bass in the island reef foam area."

Song Tianping was very troubled. This was what made him, Cao Hong, Wu Dabing and Wu Xiaobin very embarrassed. Everyone knew that there was not much future to keep fishing for sea bass here. They had to find a way and go fishing somewhere else. Even fishing for grouper was the only way out for them. Other people could make money, and so could they. It just took more time and more investment. But the problem lay precisely here. They could not afford such expenditure and investment.

"never mind!"

"There's no point in talking about this!"

"You don't want to go take a look at the artificial island reef, do you?"

Cao Hong looked at Wu Dabin.

The artificial island reef is not a secret place. In fact, anyone who goes out to sea, whether they are anglers or fishermen, knows about the place and knows that there are fish there. However, the place is very far away and it is very difficult to catch fish there.

"Wu Dabin!"

"Do you really have such a plan? You have to think it through. The artificial islands are so far away, and it will take a long time to get there. Another thing is that the longer it takes, the more gasoline will be burned and the greater the cost."

"I don't know if I can catch any fish yet, but I may have to spend several thousand dollars!"

"This is no joke!"

Song Tianping was a little tempted, thinking that it might be possible to catch fish on artificial islands and reefs, but when he calculated the money he would have to spend on the journey, he immediately backed off.

"It's difficult to catch fish at other fishing spots around here, especially for people like us. The only way is to take risks, and artificial islands and reefs are the best place."

"Why have so many people gone to the artificial island to fish recently?"

"Isn't it that there are no fish to be caught at the fishing spots around here?"

"These veterans can't catch any fish, how can we catch any fish?"

"The artificial islands and reefs are indeed quite far away. If you want to go to such a place, the cost is definitely quite high."

"I can't handle it alone. I think we must go to the artificial islands and reefs to take a look. It would be better for the four of us to share the burden."

Wu Dabin looked at Song Tianping and Cao Hong and expressed his thoughts.

The distance between artificial islands and reefs is indeed quite far.

Running the speedboat out and back not only wastes time, but what is more troublesome is the gasoline.

There is nothing to say about being able to catch fish and make money, but these people are very unfamiliar with artificial islands and reefs and have no idea about the situation there.

It is true that the cost of him and his younger brother Wu Xiaobin going out to sea in a speedboat to build artificial islands and reefs is a bit high, but if Cao Hong and Song Tianping are added, everyone can share the cost, which is acceptable.

Song Tianping and Cao Hong looked at each other, I looked at each other, thought about it, and nodded. What Wu Dabin said was indeed a good idea. If there were four people in a speedboat, the average cost per person would not be too much.

"Row!"

“This is indeed possible!”

……

"Let's go back and discuss this carefully later!"

"Won't the tide and water flow be better tomorrow? Let's go to the island and reef foam area tomorrow to see if there are any fish, and then go to the artificial island and reef the day after tomorrow."

……

Song Tianping and Cao Hong both thought this was a good idea and agreed to it. Although not many fish could be caught in the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs recently, the tide and water flow would be better tomorrow and such an opportunity must not be missed. They would wait until the day after tomorrow to go to the artificial islands and reefs.

Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin both nodded. They would definitely have to come to the island and reef foam area again tomorrow. People who go out to sea will not care whether there are fish, shrimps or crabs in the sea recently. As long as the tide and water flow are good, they will go out to sea.

Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Cao Hong and Song Tianping packed up their fishing rods and drove the speedboat away from the foam area of ​​the island reef. One reason was that they couldn't catch any fish and it would be a waste of time to stay here, and the other one couldn't stand Zhao Dahai who was not far away.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were busy for almost two hours, and all the giant groupers in the live water tank were transferred to the large fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai called out to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to get on the ship. Shi Guangming and Zhao Shui had already boarded the ship.

Zhao Dahai waited for Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to board the Dahai ship, and he was the last one to go up.

As soon as Zhao Dahai got on the fishing boat, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming walked out of the cabin.

"Second Grandpa!"

"What about the groupers?"

Zhao Dahai was a little worried about the groupers he caught today.

"No problem!"

"We kept putting ice into the live water tank while on the way. These fish actually didn't have much of a problem. Now that we're on the seabed, the water in the live water tank is deeper, and the oxygen here is quite strong."

"Shi Guangming and I have been watching for almost an hour. The first batch of fish transferred to the live water tank of the fishing boat are all very alive." Zhao Shi knew that Zhao Dahai was very worried about this matter. Many of the groupers caught today are relatively large. There are really a lot of them. A considerable number of them are very valuable red groupers. All these fish must be kept alive to sell at a good price. Once something goes wrong, especially if a lot of them die due to water temperature problems, it will be a big loss.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little worried about this matter.

They rushed back from the artificial island reef as fast as they could, and during the process they kept reminding Zhong Shizhu and the others to put ice into the live water tank. But no matter what, the temperature of the water in the sea was indeed quite high, especially when the sun rose higher and higher.

If there weren't so many fish in the live water tank, it wouldn't be a big problem, but I really caught too many groupers this time.

Fishing boats are relatively large in size and have a deep draft, and the openings under the live water tanks avoid the relatively high water temperature on the sea surface.

Another thing is that the design of the live water tank of a large fishing boat is different from that of a speedboat. It can ensure the temperature of the water in the live water tank, including circulation, oxygenation, etc.

As long as the groupers I caught were returned to the live water tank of the large fishing boat, there would basically be no major problems. What I was really worried about was that the groupers would be damaged during the process of returning.

Second grandfather Zhao Shi just said that after watching for about an hour, the groupers were all alive and kicking, so there basically won't be any major problems.

"Zhao Dahai."

“When you’re fishing you don’t worry at all, but now that you’re back here you’re worried that you caught too many fish and it’s affected you along the way.”

Shi Guangming found it a little funny.

If there are not so many fish in the live water tank of the speedboat, it will not be a big problem even if there is no ice.

If there really was something wrong with these fish, it was because Zhao Dahai caught too many of them.

"Grandpa Shi."

"I haven't caught so many fish in the past few days. Now I finally caught so many fish. How can I miss such an opportunity? I will definitely catch as many as I can. Even if some fish die, I will just put them in the refrigerator."

Zhao Dahai knew that there were too many fish and they would easily die. He knew that the fish he caught could only be sold at a higher price if they were kept alive. However, as long as there were fish, they could be sold for money. There were fish in the sea, and when it came time to bite, he would definitely get as many as he could.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou walked into the cab. The sun outside was very hot, but it was much cooler inside the cab.

Zhao Dahai had been resting for about half an hour when Ding Dawen called for someone to bring in the cooked food.

There is nothing special about the food on the fishing boat. It is either big chunks of meat or chicken, with a fish soup and some stir-fried vegetables. The main purpose is to fill the stomach and have energy to work.

"Brother Dawen."

“The temperature is relatively high today, and after fishing these times, there might be problems on the way back.”

"After we go back, your fishing boat will wait here for half a day and then return to Shijiao Village Pier later."

While eating, Zhao Dahai reminded Ding Dawen that when he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and others returned to Langtou Village, Ding Dawen had to wait until night before going back. Don't be fooled by the fact that the fish are all alive and kicking now. No one can tell if there are any hidden injuries. If the fishing boat is stationary, the fish can recover better. Another reason is that the sea water will be cooler at night, which will be better for the fish.

"Row!"

"I'll wait until it gets dark at night before going back to the Shek Kok Village Pier!"

Ding Dawen took a sip of the fish soup and wrote down what Zhao Dahai said.

Zhao Dahai told Ding Wenming that he would not go out to sea to fish that day, and the sea boat could stop at the Shijiao Village Pier. Liu Lei might come to buy fish. If he really came, they would weigh the fish, and Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin or Liu Lei would discuss the price later.

"Second Grandpa Shi, are you two going to follow my speedboat back to Langtou Village, or are you waiting to go back with Ding Dawen in the evening?"

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming. After dinner and a rest, he would drive the speedboat back to Langtou Village with Zhong Shizhu and others.

If Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming want to go back earlier, they must follow me. If they don’t want to go back early or want to stay on the ship, then they have to wait for Ding Dawen to go back together.

"I don't need to go back with your speedboat. If I go back to the other village, I will have to go back to Shijiao Village again."

"I'll just follow Ding Dawen!"

Shi Guangming pointed at Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi thought about it and told Zhao Dahai that he and Shi Guangming would go back to Shijiao Village Pier together. There was nothing much to do in the village anyway.

"Row!"

"Then wait for a while, Uncle Shizhu and I will go back first!"

Zhao Dahai nodded. Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had retired and had not been out to sea for a long time. There was nothing serious to do, so they could do whatever they wanted.

"If we don't go out to sea tomorrow, we will definitely go out to sea the day after tomorrow. If we go out to sea the day after tomorrow, will we go to see if that place is a large trench?"

Shi Guangming remembered the trench that Zhao Dahai accidentally found on his way back.

"Correct!"

"Next time I go out to sea, I must go and see if there are any fish in that place!"

"But if you want to go there, you have to go late at night. One reason is that there are definitely fewer speedboats at the artificial island at night. Another reason is that if you wait until late at night, as long as there are people coming in the distance and a speedboat appears, you can see it clearly at a glance."

"In this case, we will most likely have to go out to sea in the afternoon."

"Grandpa Shi!"

"You want to go there to see what the trench looks like and how many fish you can catch, right?"

"I'll call you once I've arranged a time or I'll come to Shijiao Village to find you directly."

"Second Grandpa!"

"Do you want to go to sea together?"

Zhao Dahai asked his second grandfather Zhao Shi if he wanted to go out to sea with him next time.

Zhao Shi took a puff of his water pipe and nodded. They must go out to sea together to see if that was the legendary artificial island reef. Another more important thing was to see if they could catch fish, especially how many fish they could catch.

Zhao Dahai arranged everything, had his meal and rested for a while, then got on the speedboat with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, untied the ropes, and immediately rushed back to Langtou Village. He had been busy all this time and was very tired, so he quickly went back to have a good sleep.
