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

Chapter 1015 This matter depends on Zhao Dahai

"Ugh!"

"Why is it like this? Why did all the fish suddenly stop biting their lips?"

Liu Bin ate his meal in big mouthfuls and shook his head. He had thought he could fish until dawn, but he didn't expect that there would be no fish biting the hook at three o'clock in the morning.

"Uncle Liu!"

"It's already very good that we can fish for such a long time. Even though we can't fish until dawn, we must have caught a lot of grouper. Even if we don't catch 4,000 kilograms, at least 3,000 kilograms."

Zhao Dahai took a sip of the fish soup. The temperature on the sea was very low in the early morning, and it seemed to be foggy. He felt very comfortable after drinking a sip of the boiling hot fish soup.

I definitely want to keep fishing until at least dawn, so that I can catch at least five or six thousand kilograms of grouper in an all-nighter.

But there is no way. The fish in the sea have stopped biting their lips and they don't control themselves, so it's impossible to catch them even if you want to. To be fair, it's already very good to be able to catch a grouper weighing three or four thousand kilograms.

Liu Bin said this now just because he wanted to catch more fish and make more money.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What's going on? Why do the groupers in the sea stop eating when they are told to?"

Lei Dayou was also very depressed. Catching three or four thousand kilograms of grouper was definitely a lot, and he could definitely make a lot of money, but who wouldn't want to catch more fish and make more money?

"Who can say for sure? Sometimes the temperature of the sea water changes a little bit, or the speed of the sea water becomes faster, or the fish is full and wants to sleep. It's all possible."

Zhao Dahai didn't dwell on this matter.

The fish situation in the sea is ever-changing; sometimes it is one way, sometimes it is another way.

Sometimes you spend half a day trying to catch no fish, but suddenly the fish start biting, one after another. But other times, like today, the fish are biting the hook like crazy, but while you are fishing, suddenly they stop biting.

There is no need to figure out what is going on. If you have tried everything and still cannot catch any fish, then there is nothing you can do but try again at another time.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou stopped talking now. They were just a little depressed that they couldn't fish until dawn and caught fewer fish. They understood very well what Zhao Dahai meant.

Zhao Dahai filled his stomach without a pole. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming started to sweep the spot by speedboat immediately after eating. They didn't need to do any work for this and had to do it themselves.

Zhao Dahai controlled the speed of the speedboat and moved it forward slowly. From time to time, he looked up at the front of the fishing boat and then lowered his head to look at the screen of the fish shell. Scanning was a very boring job. He had to stare at the structure of the seabed very carefully. Tonight, he had to find the direction of the trench and the most suitable place with fish in the trench. This required rich experience.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The sun slowly rose, the sea became wider and wider, and I could see very far away at a glance.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat back to the big fishing boat.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming boarded the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, together with Ding Dawen and several other people, worked together to hoist all the grouper they caught onto the large fishing boat and put them into the live water tank.

After finishing their work, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou got on the fishing boat and drank some water. The cooked breakfast was served, which was seafood porridge, large pieces of meat and stir-fried vegetables.

"I think Xiaoxiang did the right thing. She hired a special chef. Now we can all eat better!"

Zhao Dahai had really never thought about such a thing before. He had always eaten casually. In the past, he went out to sea alone and it was no problem to do so. Now, more and more people go out to sea with him, so it is really necessary to hire a chef. In the past, after finishing work at this time, he would have to wait another hour or two before having a meal. Now, he can have a meal immediately after finishing work. The difference is not a little bit.

"Humph!"

"How could a grown man like you think of such a thing?"

"Why do you say that men have to marry a wife? Isn't it because a wife is the one who loves a man?"

"By the time you remember this, all of us will be starving to death!"

Zhao Shi took a puff of his cigarette and glared at Zhao Dahai.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"I really didn't expect this!"

Zhao Dahai nodded and admitted his mistake. That was the fact.

Catching so many fish and earning so much money, hiring someone to cook on the fishing boat is just a drop in the bucket. I can eat better, and people like Zhong Shizhu can also eat better. Only by eating well can they work more, but I really didn't think of it.

"Brother Dawen!"

"The grouper we caught this time should be around 4,000 kilograms, right?"

While drinking porridge, Zhao Dahai asked Ding Dawen who had just come over after finishing his work, "You were so busy fishing that you didn't carefully remember how many fish you caught. But as the captain of the fishing boat, Ding Dawen must know exactly how many fish are on the boat."

"It must be more than four thousand pounds!"

"About 4,500 kilograms!"

"The groupers we caught this time were all about the same size, with most weighing around 70 to 80 kilograms, and a few weighing over 100 kilograms."

"There are very few people who weigh more than ten kilograms, and even those who weigh around forty kilograms are rare."

Ding Dawen sat down, took a bowl of porridge, and drank most of it in big gulps.

"Ugh!"

"If the fish keeps biting and we can keep fishing until dawn, we can catch at least 6,000 or even 7,000 kilograms of grouper."

"Now we can only catch about 4,500 kilograms!"

Liu Bin slapped his thigh, feeling very depressed.

I caught a fish with my first cast last night. I thought that the fish in this trench would keep biting and I could fish until dawn. However, I didn't expect that I could only fish until about three in the morning. If I could really fish until dawn, it would not be difficult to catch a grouper weighing six or seven thousand kilograms, or even seven or eight thousand kilograms.

"what?"

“Isn’t there anyone who fishes until dawn?”

Ding Dawen was shocked. He had thought that Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu had been fishing from last night until this morning, but he didn't expect that it was still dark.

Lei Dayou shook his head and told Ding Dawen that they had only fished until three o'clock in the morning last night, and then they had to eat, rest, and sweep the ground.

"No way?"

"Is it possible to catch so many fish in such a short time?" "Could it be that there are no fish in the sea recently? Has this period of time passed? Will there be a lot of fish next time?"

Ding Dawen immediately looked at Zhao Dahai.

"Zhao Dahai."

"We need to think about this matter carefully to see if it is really the case."

Zhao Shi's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

There are not many fish, shrimps or crabs in the sea during this period, so the harvest from fishing or going out to sea is not very good.

The prices of fish, shrimps and crabs have risen greatly. The fish caught by Zhao Dahai are sold at a very high price and he can make a lot of extra money. However, if there are suddenly a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, the prices will definitely fall.

If you want to make more money, you have to hurry up and sell the groupers raised on the fishing boats.

Zhao Dahai pondered for a moment and shook his head. From last night to 3 a.m., he and Zhong Shizhu did catch a lot of fish, but this was due to the trench, not the abundance of fish in the sea.

Places like trenches are lower than the surrounding terrain, making it easy for more fish and larger fish to gather there.

How many people know that no one comes here to fish? This is the fundamental reason why I caught a grouper weighing more than 4,000 kilograms.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang has been keeping an eye on the fish, shrimp and crab markets, and she is very aware of these price changes."

"We don't need to worry about selling fish."

"We are definitely better at fishing or going out to sea to catch fish, but when it comes to doing business and selling fish, we are definitely not as good as Ding Xiaoxiang."

"If one day we really find that sea fishermen or anglers can catch a lot of fish, we can just remind Xiaoxiang."

"Besides, the fish we caught or kept on the fishing boats are all large groupers or other fish."

"The price has fallen, but it's just a little less money, it won't have a big impact."

Zhao Dahai decided to ignore this matter. He just needed to catch good fish, and Ding Xiaoxiang would handle the selling of the fish.

Zhao Shi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. When it came to selling fish, neither he nor Zhao Dahai combined could compare to Ding Xiaoxiang, so there was no need to worry about such things.

"correct!"

"We are not fishing when we look at it. Aren't we just scanning the area? The trench we can find now is about one nautical mile long. I think this is most likely the trench mentioned in the legend of the artificial island reef."

Zhao Dahai finished his breakfast the fastest and explained in detail that the result at three o'clock in the morning was very likely the legendary trench with artificial islands and reefs in terms of length. Although it may not look big, it is very long. If there is such a place, it is very easy to catch fish.

"Have you really found it? Isn't this a place to make a fortune?"

Shi Guangming suddenly became excited. The sea trench has always been a good place for fish to gather. If Zhao Dahai really found this place, it would be incredible. He would be able to catch a lot of fish in the next period of time.

"Ok!"

"It should be the legendary Great Sea Trench. One reason is that the distance is long enough, and the other reason is that the groupers we caught yesterday and early this morning are about the same size."

"This also proves that it must be that great trench."

"With such a long distance, even if it's not the real trench, it's a good place for us to catch tens of thousands of whales."

"We will definitely not go anywhere else for the next period of time! As long as there are no other boats around, we have to fish, and we have to fish quickly!"

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Ling Dayou beside him and told them that they would go to Dahaigou to fish at night for the next ten days, half a month or even a month.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately nodded vigorously. It must be very hard to do this, but who is afraid of hard work when going out to sea? As long as there is work to do and as long as they can catch fish, they will do it even if it means going through fire and water.

"Oh?"

"Will you not fish during the day? Or if there are other speedboats near that place at night, will you not fish?"

Shi Guangming calmed down and immediately thought of this matter.

One is that the daytime is very long, and it would be a waste if we don't go fishing. Another more important thing is that even though we didn't encounter other speedboats last night and early this morning, no one can say for sure whether we will encounter them next time. There are more and more speedboats fishing on the artificial islands, and the chance of encountering other speedboats is actually getting bigger and bigger. According to Zhao Dahai's analysis, there will be more and more express boats staying here to fish at night.

"During the day, we usually don't go fishing in the morning. Like today, we take a good rest after dinner and wait until around three or four in the afternoon to go fishing again."

"If it's not dark, we can go to other well-known spots for fishing. Who knows, we might come across other spots that have been cleared for us by speedboats?"

"If there are no other speedboats on the sea near the trench at night, we will move to the trench. If there are other speedboats, we will leave immediately and go fishing in another place. Anyway, no matter what, we must try our best not to let other people know about this trench."

Zhao Dahai had planned the whole thing long ago, and the arrangement was very simple. He would fish in the ditch when no one was around, and go fishing somewhere else during the day or when there were people around.

"Correct!"

"We mainly fish at night and in the early morning, and then we can sleep in the morning!"

……

"If there are people around, we must run farther away. If there is no one, we can fish in the big ditch."

……

"We have to work hard, fish hard, and try to catch all the fish in the entire trench in the next half month!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are ready to go.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Haven't we finished breakfast now? How about taking a break for ten minutes or so and going to the fishing spot?"

Zhong Shizhu wiped the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at the sea in the direction of the artificial island reef.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"We are not just fishing for a day or two. We are going to fish here for the next ten days, half a month or even a month. We are fighting a protracted war. There is no need to rush for just a short while."

"After breakfast, we'll take a break. Let's take a nap. The woman I just mentioned will wait until three or four o'clock in the afternoon to go fishing."

Zhao Dahai shook his head without even thinking. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were all thinking about seizing the time to catch more fish and make more money. They had already caught a lot of fish from tonight to early this morning, and the time was very long, so they must be tired. Now they continued fishing right after breakfast. It was not that they were not tired, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da had been going out to sea to fish for many years and were used to this kind of life.
