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

Chapter 1016 Want to save face?

"The bell stone pillar."

"We must listen to Zhao Dahai on matters like this!"

"If you're only fishing for two or three days, it doesn't matter if you're a little tired. You can just go home and have a good sleep."

"Now we are thinking about fishing for ten days or even a month. We can't do it like you said. We can't work ourselves to death."

Zhao Shi took two deep puffs of his cigarette and exhaled thick smoke. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin all wanted to catch more fish so that they could get their money's worth. Fishing for two or three days is different from fishing for eight or ten days.

What Zhao Dahai said is right. You need to have a good rest and then continue fishing.

This time, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't say anything and hurried to eat breakfast.

After Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their breakfast and rested for about ten minutes, they immediately went back to the cabin to sleep.

"It's more comfortable for the fishing boat to stop here. It's better for eating and sleeping."

Shi Guangming ate his breakfast slowly.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were waiting to continue fishing and working in the afternoon, so they must go back to sleep and take a rest now. Zhao Shi and he did not need to do this. In the afternoon or evening, Zhao Dahai and the others would go fishing, and the two of them would not get on the speedboat.

"Is it necessary to say it?"

"Who doesn't know that bigger fishing boats are better?"

"But how can ordinary people who go fishing in the open sea do this?"

"Let alone parking a large fishing boat here, it's unlikely to even buy a speedboat like the one Zhao Dahai had last time."

Zhao Shi sighed softly.

Only those who have been to sea know how difficult it is to do what Zhao Dahai did.

Going out to sea to fish or angling can definitely make money, and some people can even make a lot of money, but there are really few people like Zhao Dahai. The vast majority of people go through wind and rain, but in fact they are just trying to support their families.

Zhao Shi recalled that he had been fishing at sea for decades, and all he had been able to do was raise a few children.

"This large trench we found is really great. It looks like we can really catch tens of thousands of kilograms of fish next time."

Shi Guangming took a sip of the fish soup.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Have either of you been fishing? Have either of you caught any fish?"

Ding Dawen looked at Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming with some curiosity.

When Zhao Dahai took Zhong Shizhu and a few others fishing, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were on the speedboat. Seeing so many fish caught, they wondered if they had tried to see if they caught any fish.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming glared at each other.

"Yo!"

"Ding Dawen."

"What do you mean by that? Can't you tell a joke? Can't the two of us catch any fish?"

……

"Correct!"

"This kid must be like this, he must be laughing at this matter in his heart?"

……

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were really embarrassed.

At the beginning, neither of them thought about fishing, thinking that this would affect Zhao Dahai and others' fishing, but later they couldn't help it and both of them took the rods and tried it.

The result was very embarrassing.

After nearly two hours, the two men didn't catch a single fish.

At the same time, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are trying to see if they can keep catching one fish after another.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming really couldn't understand what was going on. They were on the same speedboat, only one or two meters apart, but they couldn't catch a single fish.

When Ding Dawen saw Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming like this, he understood what had happened.

"what!"

"Second Grandpa, Grandpa Shi."

"Isn't it possible?"

"If someone else has no experience, they might not be able to catch it, but you two are real veterans."

"How is it possible that we can't catch any fish?"

Ding Dawen is really very strange, I don’t know why he is like this.

Zhao Shi mainly goes out to sea to fish, but it is impossible that he does not know how to fish. Not to mention Shi Guangming, he is the captain of a sea fishing boat and takes others to Shanghai to fish. He must have rich experience in fishing.

The fishing spot that Zhao Dahai found must have a lot of fish. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all caught a lot of fish. It stands to reason that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming could not have caught any fish.

"Who knows what's going on? Anyway, Old Man Shi and I just can't catch any fish!"

Zhao Shi was very helpless.

Shi Guangming and I both couldn't understand why this was the case, but the fact was that Shi Guangming and I really couldn't catch any fish.

"Old man Zhao."

"Doesn't Zhao Dahai have to go fishing in the afternoon? Why don't we go out to sea with the speedboat and see if we can catch any fish."

"I really don't believe in evil."

"We two are definitely not as good at fishing as Zhao Dahai, but how can we be worse than Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou?"

The more Shi Guangming thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became.

"If you want to go fishing, you can go. If you want to prove yourself, you can go. But I'm definitely not going!"

Zhao Shi immediately shook his head and refused without even thinking.

"what?"

"Why is that? Don't we have to try more before we can catch fish? Otherwise, it's really a bit embarrassing."

Shi Guangming couldn't understand what Zhao Shi was thinking.

"You only think that if we catch fish, we can save face, but what if we still can't catch any fish this time? Zhao Dahai will definitely not laugh at us, but do you think the three townsmen Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou will not laugh at us?"

"We'd better not fish on Zhao Dahai's speedboat. If we want to fish, we should wait until Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are not on the speedboat."

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming. This idea was too simple. If they could catch fish, then it would be fine. If they couldn't catch any fish, and Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou laughed at them, that would be even more disrespectful. Don't look at the fact that he and Shi Guangming are older, but people who go out to sea don't care about this. Whoever can catch fish is the best. No one can get angry if they tell a few jokes, but it will be embarrassing.

Shi Guangming wiped his face. What Zhao Shi said was right. If they could hook a fish, there would be no problem. However, if they couldn't catch any fish, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou would definitely not miss such a good opportunity. Besides, the two of them had already tried fishing last night but didn't catch any fish, so they would definitely laugh at them even more.

"Forget it!"

"Old Zhao, you're right. We don't need to fish anymore. Even if we go out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat, we shouldn't fish. As long as we don't fish, others won't be able to do anything to us."

Shi Guangming thought about it and felt that what Zhao Shi said made a lot of sense and there was really no need to go fishing.

Originally, two people went fishing for fun, not to make money. If they could catch something, there would be nothing to say, but if they couldn't, it would just be embarrassing.

This is a thankless task, so you might as well not do it. "Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi."

"I really can't understand why you two couldn't catch any fish on Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

"Hasn't it been said all along that anyone can catch fish as long as they follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat out to sea?"

"You didn't catch any fish last night, but that's just bad luck. How can you not catch any fish next time you go fishing?"

Ding Dawen really couldn't understand this matter. It was clear from what Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming said that they wanted to avoid embarrassment and not go fishing from then on.

"Ugh!"

"Who knows what's going on? Anyway, we couldn't catch any fish from last night to this morning."

"But you're right, it's just that we were just unlucky from last night to this morning!"

"How is it possible that the people on Zhao Dahai's speedboat can't catch any fish?"

Shi Guangming felt that what Ding Dawen said was absolutely correct. It was impossible for the people on Zhao Dahai's speedboat to not catch any fish.

Shi Guangming couldn't help wondering whether he should follow the speedboat out to sea in the afternoon when Zhao Dahai went out to sea to see if he could catch any fish.

"Humph!"

"What do you do, old man? Do you have to work so hard?"

"They are not young people. If they were young people, they would definitely follow them if they wanted to see what was going on."

"Zhao Dahai is going out to sea to fish this afternoon. Once he finds a school of fish, he might fish until tomorrow morning. Can you hold out for such a long time?"

"Even if you can hold on, do you really need to fight so hard?"

Zhao Shi reminded Shi Guangming.

"All right!"

"I think we should just stay on this big fishing boat!"

Shi Guangming thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​going fishing with Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu's trip out to sea will definitely last until tomorrow morning. Only when they have caught a lot of fish and the warehouse can no longer hold them all will they return to the big fishing boat.

Both Zhao Shi and I are over 70 years old, so staying up late would be a bit difficult.

Once he followed Zhao Dahai's express delivery to go fishing, when he felt tired and wanted to sleep, Zhao Dahai would take his age into consideration and ask him to return to the fishing boat early, which would cause trouble for him.

"Grandpa Shi."

"I just want to go fishing! Why do we have to follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat? Can't we still catch fish here on this big fishing boat?"

"We can just wait until it gets dark and night and then go fishing here!"

Ding Dawen pointed in the direction of the bow of the fishing boat.

Shi Guangming looked in the direction Ding Dawen pointed. The sun was hanging overhead, and the three stars were very strong. There was a little reflection on the surface of the sea, but with many years of experience at sea, he could tell at a glance that the fishing boat was not too far ahead. The sea water about ten to twenty meters ahead seemed to be different from that of other places.

Shi Guangming immediately stood up, walked to the bow of the fishing boat, looked carefully for a while, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Yo!"

"Ding Dawen!"

"You are a really good kid. You have picked a good spot. Who knows, maybe we can really catch some fish tonight!"

Shi Guangwan walked back to Ding Dawen and Zhao Shi.

"Oh?"

"Are you saying, old man, that the place Ding Dawen chose to park the fishing boats is a good one?"

Zhao Shi couldn't help but look at the sea surface at the bow of the fishing boat.

"Ok!"

"Ding Da Wen Zi Xiao Zi really has a good eye. There are good fish on the sea surface about ten meters or less than twenty meters from the bow of the fishing boat. Two streams of sea water rushed together!"

"If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it!"

"It's unlikely to catch a lot of fish here, but if you want to catch a few, you might have a chance."

Shi Guangming really didn't expect Ding Dawen to have such vision.

Zhao Shi was really curious now. He stood up and walked to the bow of the fishing boat. He looked carefully for two minutes, then walked back to look at Ding Dawen.

"Hey!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"You don't really think I'm capable of this, do you?"

"The fishing boat stopped, and I looked carefully at the surrounding sea surface before I discovered this!"

“This isn’t a place I picked on purpose!”

"If I have to say, it was Zhao Dahai who chose the place, not me!"

Ding Dawen waved his hands and said that he really didn't look for this place on purpose. The fishing boat really stopped and he was in the cab looking down. He accidentally saw that there was something wrong on the sea. After looking carefully, he found that there was sea water flowing.

"what!"

"All right!"

"I thought you found this place specially?"

"If you really have this kind of ability, you will gradually know where to find fish and where to catch them. Who knows, you might become a fishing expert someday."

At first, Shi Guangming really thought that this was the place Ding Dawen found himself, and Zhao Dahai had only told him the approximate location of the fishing boat yesterday.

A fishing expert like Zhao Dahai must have skills far superior to those of ordinary people, but the fishing skills of most people who go fishing in the open sea or even in the deep sea are not very good, and the difference is not too big. The key to whether you can catch fish is whether you can find where the fish is.

If Ding Dawen drove a fishing boat here and really found such a place by himself, he must have a certain level of skill.

"what!"

"How is this possible?"

"I don't have such ability!"

“It was really an accidental discovery!”

"Can you really catch fish here at night?"

Ding Dawen knew his own abilities and knew there was really no way to find this place.

"Correct!"

"You can usually catch fish in places like this. It's hard to say how many you can catch."

"Let Zhao Dahai take a look when he wakes up. He can give us some advice."

"Let's try it when it gets dark."

Shi Guangming does have this experience. Where there are streams converging on the water surface, it may not seem big, but it is there and it must attract more fish than other places around. You can definitely catch fish in such places, but you just don't know what kind of fish you can catch and how many.
