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

Chapter 1014 The fish is gone just like that!
"correct!"

"Grandpa Shi."

"Shi Zhongwei, Shi Jiehua and Uncle Shi's fishing boat have already set out to sea, right?"

Zhao Dahai thought of this matter. He had been busy recently and had almost forgotten about it.

"Correct!"

"We left the dock early this morning!"

"There's no need to bother with this matter! Let them do their thing, and we do ours."

Shi Wenming nodded, holding the hookah. Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong left the dock for their sea fishing boat at three or four in the morning today. They would be out at sea for another month.

Zhao Dahai nodded and didn't say anything more about this matter. No matter whether it was himself or Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei, they had to go out to sea constantly. To put it bluntly, they were all there to make money. It was impossible for them to stay at home too much.

Ding Dawen came out of the cabin and asked if they wanted to eat right away since dinner was already prepared.

Zhao Dahai nodded. If they finished their meal early, they could go fishing. If they didn’t go out to sea and rested at home, it didn’t matter whether they went early or late. Since they had already gone out to sea, they had to seize the time.

"Yo!"

"Why are there so many delicious dishes for dinner tonight?"

Zhao Dahai was very surprised when he saw the seven or eight dishes that Ding Dawen brought out. People who go out to sea basically don't care much about eating, as long as they can fill their stomachs and hold back hunger, it's fine. Generally speaking, it's meat, and there's fish soup, which are generally large pieces of pork belly or chicken or duck. Another thing is to cook whatever fish is available on the fishing boat. The methods are very simple, but each of the seven or eight dishes on display are very well cooked and look very presentable. This is definitely not something Ding Dawen can make.

"The sea!"

"Xiao Xiang specially hired someone to cook on the boat, but I said no, whoever is free can cook. We go out to sea to work, who cares whether the food is good or not."

"She said it's not for me to eat well, but for you to eat well."

"I have nothing to say!"

Ding Dawen said that this was a chef hired by Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Row!"

"We are all blessed!"

"I don't need it when I'm working, I just have to think about cooking."

When Zhao Dahai heard that Ding Xiaoxiang had hired a chef, he was worried that his people were busy working. Cooking something casually might be fine for the short term, but it wouldn't work for a long time. Another reason was that there were quite a few people on the fishing boats and speedboats, so hiring a chef was very cost-effective.

"I definitely need to hire someone to cook for me. That way it will be better. One is that the food will be better, and the other is that I won't have to work so hard."

Zhao Shi agreed with Ding Xiaoxiang's decision. A person was really needed to cook on the fishing boat. Zhao Dahai caught so many fish and made so much money, so it was easy to hire a chef. Everyone could eat and drink well, so they could work well.

After finishing their meal, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhao Shi rested for about twenty minutes, took all the necessary things, got on the speedboat and left the big fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat, not too fast, while looking at the surrounding sea. He arrived at the trench he had discovered a few days ago, but he didn't see any other lights.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. His guess was correct. There were indeed many more fishing speedboats on the artificial island reef, but most of these speedboats came during the day and had to leave before dark. Very few people stayed overnight.

"Great."

"Without any other speedboats, we can fish without any worries."

Lei Dayou was very happy. Only he and his people knew about this place. As long as they saw lights from afar, they would have to leave. Now it was pitch black around them. Only they and their people were here. They had to wait for Zhao Dahai to find the right spot and start fishing immediately.

"During this period, we have no problem fishing here at night. It is even difficult to find other speedboats on the entire artificial island. But in a month or two, there will be more and more speedboats staying overnight on the artificial island."

Zhao Dahai said as he watched the fish finder adjust the position of the speedboat. There were no other speedboats here now, but more and more speedboats would appear in a while.

"what?"

"That's impossible. The speedboats used by other people are relatively small. It's really dangerous to spend the night here."

Zhong Shizhu lit a cigarette. He hadn't started fishing yet. He would wait until later to start fishing. He and Lei Dayou and the others didn't even have time to smoke a cigarette.

The artificial islands and reefs are quite far away, so it is not safe for a normal-sized speedboat to spend the night there. There are already quite a few speedboats fishing here during the day, but there are only a few at night.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. It would definitely be unsafe for a speedboat to spend the night in a place like this, but if there were several speedboats, it would be a different story.

If fish can be caught elsewhere, few people would be willing to go so far to fish. But if fish cannot be caught elsewhere, more and more people will come here. Everyone will do the math. The cost of a round trip on the same day is very high, so they might as well not leave here at night. Especially when the weather is good, there will definitely be several speedboats traveling together. This is not particularly safe, but it won't be a big problem.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all a little dumbfounded. What Zhao Dahai said made sense, but if it was really like that, it would not be a good thing for them.

Zhao Dahai felt a little funny in his heart. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had been thinking in their hearts that it would be best if no other speedboats came here to fish, which was impossible.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder, adjusted the position of the speedboat and stopped. There was no wind, waves or current on the sea and it was very calm. He shouted to Zhong Shizhu to lower the top flow machine.

Zhong Shizhu immediately walked to the bow of the speedboat, lowered the top-flow engine, turned it on, and the speedboat suddenly stopped motionless.

“Are there any fish in this place?”

When Shi Guangming saw Zhao Dahai's look, he knew that fishing was about to begin, and he was very curious whether there were really any fish.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Are there any fish? We can't tell now. We have to try."

"The fish finder doesn't show very clearly. Even if the fish finder shows that there are fish, it's useless if you can't catch them."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he took another careful look at the fish finder.

"One hundred and seventy meters deep."

"This place should be right in the middle of the trench on the seabed! Fishing spots on both sides can be reached."

"One hundred and sixty-five meters of line."

"Bottom knock."

"Just try using the rod on the gun carriage and see if you can catch any fish."

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou the depth of the sea water here.

There were three people, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. One of them hung live shrimps, one hung octopus and the other hung crabs. They threw the hooks into the sea and found that they could reach a depth of 165 meters in no time. They used an electric winch, which could lower the fish into the water layer very accurately.

Zhao Dahai did not start fishing immediately. He stared at the fishing rods of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou with wide eyes. There was no need to rush to take a closer look at the results of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's first rod.

"I'm the first!"

……

"I'm second!"

……

"I'm the third one!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou each shouted, and about twenty seconds later they let out the line one after another to hit the bottom. After hitting the bottom, they waited for about ten seconds and immediately reeled the line up to about one meter away from the seabed.

"what!"

“No hang-up!”

“Here they come!” “The fish are coming!”

……

"middle!"

"big!"

"Seventy or eighty pounds!"

……

"coming!"

"It looks like the fish here are going crazy tonight!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da saw fish taking the bait one after another. They immediately pushed the switch to reel in the line. In a blink of an eye, the speedboat was filled with the sound of rotating casters.

"No way?"

"Have the fish here really gone crazy tonight? Why are all the fish biting the hooks at once?"

Shi Guangming's eyes suddenly widened, his right hand trembled, and the hookah he was holding almost fell directly onto the deck. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all fishing for the first time, just wanting to try and see if it would get stuck on the bottom. Unexpectedly, everyone had a fish bite, which only proved that there were not only fish on the seabed, but also a lot of them, and they were very ferocious.

“Who could have imagined it would be like this?”

Zhao Shi was also very surprised. He really didn't expect that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught fish on their first try, and all three of them caught fish. Looking closely at the rods of the three people placed on the gun mount, the curvature of the rods was very large. These must be big groupers weighing more than 50 kilograms.

Zhao Dahai cast his rod without saying a word, and Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught fish with one strike. This proved that there were really a lot of fish on the seabed and they were biting very fiercely. At this time, no skills were needed, just hands.

"coming!"

"middle!"

Zhao Dahai had just hit the bottom and had no time to reel in the line to pull it away from the seabed when a fish took the bait. He pushed the switch hard, and the casters turned suddenly, pulling the hooked fish away from the seabed.

Zhao Dahai took a look at the body which weighed about 70 or 80 kilograms.

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited!"

"Control your speed."

"We want fish that we can keep alive!"

Zhao Dahai loudly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that they must control the speed. They were not only trying to catch fish, but also wanted to catch as many fish as possible that could be fed. So controlling the speed was very important.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately checked the rotation speed of the casters and found that there was no problem. It was already more than 30 meters away from the seabed and the hooked fish could not escape.

“The fish are biting so hard here tonight!”

"I'm sure we can catch a lot of fish."

……

"The Great Trench is really amazing!"

"Could it be that most of the fish around here have come here?"

……

"If we keep fishing like this, it will be incredible! By daybreak, we can catch at least 5,000 to 6,000-jin grouper! If we catch well, 7,000 to 8,000-jin won't be a big problem."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were waiting for the fish to be pulled out of the water while discussing excitedly. It didn't take long for the hooked fish to be pulled out of the water. They were all big blue spot weighing 70 to 80 kilograms.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took the scoop net and scooped up the fish, pulled it onto the deck, removed the hook, and quickly checked it. After finding no flatulence or anything, they immediately pushed it into the live water tank. Then they re-hung live shrimps, octopuses or crabs on the hooks and threw them into the sea. Having followed Zhao Dahai to go fishing for more than half a year, they knew very well that there were fish on the seabed at this time and that the bites were very fierce. If they hurried, they would definitely be able to catch other fish.

"here we go again!"

……

"what!"

"This one is probably about a hundred pounds of various idiots."

……

“This is incredible!”

"I don't know how many fish we can catch tonight."

……

Shi Guangming glanced at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, then turned to look at Zhao Shi who was sitting next to him. He moved his lips, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say.

"What do you want me to do?"

"How do I know why the fish in the sea are so crazy at this time?"

“People who go out to sea to fish or catch fish will always encounter such a time to make a fortune.”

Zhao Shi knew what Shi Guangming was thinking. Not only was Shi Guangmin very shocked, he was also very shocked. Including the one caught by Zhao Dahai, there were four fish in total. The speedboat did not move. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught one each, making a total of seven fish in total. They were all big groupers weighing over 70 or 80 kilograms. This was really amazing.

"All right!"

"That's all I can say."

Shi Guangming really didn't know what to say.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The sea breeze is getting colder and colder.

Zhao Dahai looked at the pole on the gun mount in front of him. There had been no movement for more than ten minutes. He shook his head helplessly.

When the fish are biting fiercely, as long as the hook reaches the water layer or hits the bottom, the fish will bite. However, if the fish doesn't bite, you can't catch them even if you have a lot of fish, and you can only watch.

When we started fishing tonight, a few of us encountered fish in the sea that were biting the hooks very hard. We pulled in one after another and couldn't stop.

But now it has been almost half an hour, and neither himself nor Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have caught any fish. The fish in the sea suddenly stopped biting the hook. No matter what method he thought of, it was of no use.

"It's getting late!"

"Let's cook something to eat!"

"Take a break after eating!"

"Move the speedboat a little further. If there are no fish biting the hook, we won't fish today. Let's take a look and see how long the trench is."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that he could only catch so many fish tonight.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all nodded. They all knew clearly that it was not that there were no fish in the sea now, but that the fish would not bite the hooks. Even if God came, it would be useless. There was no point in continuing to fall into the sea. It would be better to eat something to rest, scan the trench, find out the situation on the seabed, and wait for another time when the fish would bite before continuing fishing.
