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

Chapter 1038: It's Really Impossible to Fish
"big!"

"This fish is really quite big, at least 20 kilograms!"

"Ding Chongshan."

"You are really lucky, how come you caught such a big fish right next to the fishing boat?"

Lin Zuhua was very envious.

"what!"

"What do you mean by luck? This is clearly skill!"

"The water is six meters deep! Try it quickly, there must be more!"

While pulling the fish, Ding Chongshan loudly reminded Lin Zuhua that they had to fish in water six meters deep.

Once a school of sea bass appears, there cannot be just one. There may be a group of sea fish under the fishing boat, and they are all about the same size. I caught one at a depth of six meters, and the rest of the fish may also be at a depth of six meters.

When Lin Zuhua heard this, he realized that he was only fishing in three-meter water depth, so it was no wonder that no fish took the bait. He immediately continued to cast the line, directly to a depth of six meters. Before he could even take a breath, a fish took the bait.

Lin Zuhua was mentally prepared and pulled the rod up with force to stab the fish.

"Hahaha!"

"Ding Chongshan!"

"You're right. The fish are indeed at a depth of six meters. As soon as we put the hook in the water layer, some fish took the bait. There are not only fish below, but the school of fish is not small and is very ferocious."

Chen Zuhua was very excited. The rod in his hand bent sharply. The hooked fish pulled the line and ran out frantically. In a blink of an eye, it ran away more than ten or twenty meters.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming just shook their heads.

"what?"

"Second Grandpa!"

"What's going on? Didn't you catch a fish? What's the problem?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very excited when she saw that her father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua had both caught fish. But when she turned around, she saw Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both shaking their heads. She didn't know what was going on.

"How many fish can you catch in an hour? If you can catch two or three, it's already pretty good. It will take another five or six minutes for them to bring the fish back to the fishing boat. Even if there are schools of fish in the sea, most of them would have already run away!"

Zhao Shi shook his head again.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua did catch some fish, and the fish they hooked were all large. However, the fish had already run away twenty or thirty meters, and it would take a lot of time to pull it back.

I didn't catch many fish in an hour.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu definitely don't fish like this. Once a fish is hooked, they pull it out of the water with great force and speed.

The speed is very fast, so you can seize the time and catch more fish.

"what!"

“You’re right!”

"Zhao Dahai and his friends are the real fishers, while Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua are just fishing for fun!"

Shi Guangming laughed.

This is actually not surprising at all. Zhao Dahai and his friends have to seize the time and fish more to make more money. They must use harder rods and thicker lines. As long as there is a fish biting the hook, they must pull it out of the water as quickly as possible.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua were really just fishing for fun.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it carefully, and it was true. Although her father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua had caught fish, five or six minutes had passed, and it would be almost ten minutes, and the fish had not been pulled back yet. In this way, they could not catch many fish in an hour, and it was already quite good to catch three.

There is nothing wrong with fishing for fun, and you can make a little money, but it is absolutely impossible to make money like Zhao Dahai.

No matter what you do, there is a huge difference between being quick and being slow.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua spent half a day pulling the fish to the side of the fishing boat. Shi Guangming was already waiting with a scoop net, and he had been waiting for five or six minutes.

"Yo!"

“The size of the fish really made it pull hard!”

Ding Chongshan wiped the sweat from his face. It had taken a lot of effort to pull up the fish over the past ten minutes. It was still early and the sea breeze had not cooled down yet, so he was sweating all over.

"The 20-pound sea bass is no joke!"

"My hands are still a little sore now!"

Lin Zuhua shook his hands vigorously.

"dad!"

"Uncle Lin!"

"Why are you two so slow in catching a fish?"

“It takes fifteen or even twenty minutes to catch a fish!”

"If Zhao Dahai and the others were moving at the same speed as you two, they would have starved to death long ago!"

“Even if there are a lot of fish in the sea, how many can you catch?”

When Ding Xiaoxiang saw her father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua being so proud of themselves, she couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on them.

The smiles on Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua's faces disappeared all of a sudden.

"All right!"

"That's exactly what's going on. If we were to fish like the two of us, there would always be fish in the sea, but we wouldn't be able to catch many fish in a day."

"Besides, sea bass come and go quickly. In an hour or two, they might be somewhere else!"

“You’ll catch fewer fish this way!”

Ding Chongshan had to admit that what Ding Xiaoxiang said was absolutely correct and that was the truth.

It took Lin Zuhua and I too much time to catch these two fish.

"In ten minutes or so, Zhao Dahai can catch at least ten fish by himself!"

“That’s a long way off!”

Lin Zuhua didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but after a careful calculation, he found that the difference between himself and Ding Chongshan and Zhao Dahai was not a little bit.

In a few minutes, Zhao Dahai was able to catch two to three hundred kilograms of fish, while he and Ding Chongshan could only catch one fish, which was only twenty to thirty kilograms.

A sea bass of this size can be sold for at least 50 yuan per pound, which means one thousand yuan for one fish.

The only money that Ding Chongshan and I could earn was one thousand yuan.

Zhao Dahai made 10,000 yuan in one go.

The more Lin Zuhua calculated, the more he felt that the gap between himself and Ding Chongshan and Zhao Dahai was huge.

"Don't worry too much about this!"

"There are not many people in this world who can fish as fast as Zhao Dahai!"

"Zhong Shizhu and his team are pretty good now, but they are still far behind Zhao Dahai."

"Do you two usually have a lot of time to fish? The key is that you two have long been accustomed to fishing. You fish for fun, not to make money. How can you catch fish so quickly?"

Zhao Shi knew that Zhao Dahai was very fast at fishing. Not to mention people like Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua who fished just for fun, even those who specialized in fishing and had been fishing for many years could not compare to him.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing at sea for many years. They are very strong and powerful, but they are not as good as Zhao Dahai when it comes to fishing.

"There's really no way to solve this problem!" "I've seen with my own eyes how fast Zhao Dahai fishes!"

"When a wave of fish comes, Zhao Dahai can catch several thousand kilograms of fish in just a few dozen minutes."

"Whether it's me or the other people who went out to sea to fish, we can only stare blankly!"

Lin Zuhua thought of the speed at which Zhao Dahai fished that he had witnessed, and was really impressed.

"dad!"

"Uncle Lin!"

"I'm telling you two whether you want to continue fishing or not. If you keep going like this, the fish will have dispersed long ago!"

Ding Xiaoxiang woke up.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua then realized that they were fishing. There must be fish under the fishing boat. If they don't hurry up and fish, the fish school may be really small and they won't be able to catch any more.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua immediately took the fish off the hook, put on live shrimps and continued fishing.

"middle!"

"Big one again!"

……

"what!"

"It looks like there's a pretty big school of fish underneath the fishing boat!"

……

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua hung up some live shrimps and put them into the sea again, at a depth of six meters. Soon, fish started to bite the hooks again.

"Second Grandpa."

"What's going on? Why are there so many fish here?"

Ding Xiaoxiang is a little strange.

In more than an hour, my father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua caught seven or eight sea bass, all of which were quite large.

The key is to keep fishing one fish after another.

I am not very good at fishing, but I grew up by the sea, and Zhao Dahai is an expert in fishing, so I know a few things about fishing, which is rare nowadays.

Zhao Shi told Ding Xiaoxiang that the surrounding sea area was very open and there were no small islands or anything. The large fishing boat parked here was actually equivalent to a small island, and it had been parked there for several days. Some fish around must have gathered here, especially small schools of fish. In addition, it was night time and there were lights gathering here, so there were more small fish, and with small fish there would be big fish.

"There are indeed fish under the fishing boat, but there won't be too many!"

"It's already very good if we can catch ten or eight fish in one night. On a good day, we can catch more than 20 fish!"

As soon as Shi Guangming saw the expression on Ding Xiaoxiang's face, he knew that she must be thinking that if there were so many fish in this place, Zhao Dahai wouldn't need to find an artificial island to fish.

In the past few days, when Ding Dawen and I had nothing to do, we would go fishing in this place. We did catch some fish, but not many.

It's okay to fish for fun and to kill time, but if you want to make money or want to make a lot of money, that's impossible.

Ding Xiaoxiang suddenly realized that she was thinking too simply. If it was really so easy to catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money, then no one would need to go out to sea to fish. They could just buy a fishing boat and leave it on the sea waiting to fish.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua fished for about an hour and then stopped. It was not because there were no fish in the sea, but because they were both feeling a little tired.

"dad!"

"With the physical strength you and Uncle Lin have, you won't be able to catch many fish even if you go fishing on a speedboat in the sea."

Ding Xiaoxiang took two bottles of water and handed them to her father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua. After just over an hour, they could no longer fish.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua drank water in big gulps. The sea bass they just caught were all around 20 to 30 kilograms in size, and their pulling strength was quite strong.

But no matter what, Ding Xiaoxiang was right. With two people's physical strength, they couldn't catch many fish on a speedboat that reached the sea.

"We go fishing just for fun, we catch as much as we can!"

"There's really no way to compare with Zhao Dahai!"

Lin Zuhua really needs to surrender and admit defeat in this matter.

Ding Xiaoxiang heard footsteps and turned around to see Song Wei and Ding Dawen walking towards her together. They had just finished checking the fish in the live water tank.

"You caught so many fish in such a short time?"

Song Wei was very surprised when he saw more than a dozen sea bass weighing more than 20 kilograms each on the deck, many of which were still flapping their tails.

"Boss Song."

"There are still fish under the fishing boat. Do you want to catch anything? If you want to, you can give it a try. You may be able to catch several!"

Lin Zuhua pointed to the sea next to the fishing boat.

There are really still fish in the sea now, and there should be quite a few. Ding Chongshan and I are too tired from fishing and don’t want to fish anymore. If Song Wei wants to fish, he will definitely be able to catch fish.

Song Wei was eager to try it out. He was a fisherman who bought fish, shrimps and crabs. He not only knew how to fish, but also loved fishing. The sea bass that Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua caught were very large. There was no fisherman who didn't want to catch a fish of this size. But now the most important thing about business is making money.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"I have checked all the fish in the live water tank. There are no problems and they are all very good. This is the best."

"That's the price we negotiated!"

"How much can you give me?"

Song Wei and Ding Dawen just looked carefully at the fish in the live water tank. They were all really good fish, and they wanted to catch them all, but Ding Xiaoxiang had already said that it was impossible to sell all these fish at once.

"Grouper's words."

"Leave 6,000 kilograms. Leave 4,000 kilograms of sea bass. Sell the rest."

Ding Xiaoxiang had already planned this.

Neither he nor Zhao Dahai needed to keep the fish, but Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, plus Wu Weimin's private restaurant, needed fish every day.

Zhao Dahai could indeed catch a lot of fish every day, but in order to ensure that nothing would go wrong, he had to leave some behind.

"what?"

“Do you want to leave so much?”

Song Wei didn't expect Ding Xiaoxiang to keep so many fish.

"Boss Song."

"There aren't many fish left."

"Most of the fish I had were sold to Hongyun Restaurant and Private Restaurant owned by Liu Gang and Liu Lei."

“This is a long-term business!”

"I can't sell all the fish at once."

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Private Kitchen have no fish to sell."

"Even if the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs fall in a few days, I have to keep some of these fish on hand."

Ding Xiaoxiang told the truth.

Song Wei was speechless. People who do business know that old customers are very important. Sometimes they have to make less money to keep old customers. I would do the same if I were in his shoes. Not to mention that if I sell these fish to Liu Gang and Liu Lei, the price will be higher and I can make more money.
