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

Chapter 1081 Zhao Dahai Returns to the Pier
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their meal, talked for a while, and then went back to the cabin to sleep.

"Aren't you two going to bed yet?"

Zhao Shi looked at Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua with some surprise.

"We didn't catch many fish, so we're not tired at all. It doesn't matter if we go to bed earlier or later."

Lin Zuhua shook his head.

"what!"

"Lin Zuhua later caught another mackerel. He caught two more, both of which were about the same size, but not as big as mine. Now I have no mood to sleep. Even if I lie on the bed, I just can't fall asleep. I might as well go to bed later."

Ding Chongshan touched his stomach and felt that he was not full, so he filled up another half bowl of rice.

"I don't know the same as you!"

"You can say whatever you want. Anyway, the fish I caught is definitely not as big as yours!"

Lin Zuhua did not refute. If he couldn't catch a big fish, there was no point in saying anything, so he might as well just keep quiet.

"Humph!"

"Lin Zuhua."

"How can you be like this?"

"We are fishing out to sea. As long as we are still at sea, we will definitely have a chance to catch a big fish!"

"Although the wind and waves are strong now, it won't have much impact on drift fishing. Maybe you can catch bigger fish! Isn't there a saying that the bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the rain?"

Ding Chongshan never missed any opportunity to make fun of others.

Lin Zuhua wiped his mouth, stood up without saying a word, turned around and left the cab to go back to sleep. If he stayed here any longer, he would definitely be laughed at.

"Second Uncle Zhao."

"If the weather is good in two days, I will go back."

Ding Chongshan looked at Zhao Shi who was sitting opposite him. He had caught a lot of fish during a fishing trip to the sea. The most important thing was that he caught a big mackerel today. This was a very rare thing. He was already very satisfied. The family business was looked after by Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, but they couldn't always be out fishing.

"If you want to fish for a few more days, you can fish for a few more days. If you want to go back, you can go back. It's not far anyway. Zhao Dahai often goes fishing outside. You can come whenever you want."

Zhao Shi nodded. They were all family. Ding Chongshan could come when he wanted to and go back when he wanted to. There was no need to be polite.

"I wonder what's going on with the fish farm at Shijiao Village Pier?"

Zhao Shi was a little worried about this matter.

“This is not difficult.”

Ding Chongshan was not worried about this at all.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang have money, and with Shi Guangming, who is from Shijiao Village, they have 100% control over the place.

“They must be building fish rafts now.”

"correct!"

"Second Uncle Zhao."

"You don't have anything urgent to do here. Ding Dawen is already a capable person. There are enough people on the fishing boat to handle other things. Why don't you just go back with me to take a look and then come back here?"

Ding Chongshan suddenly had an idea.

Zhao Shi thought about it and nodded. He was really worried about this matter and wanted to know what was going on. Ding Chongshan’s idea was good.

Ding Chongshan talked with Zhao Shi for a while, then yawned, stood up and went back to the cabin to sleep. He and Lin Zuhua did not catch many fish, but they had been waiting and staring at the release rods, and the weather was bad, so it was impossible that they were not tired at all.

"Ding Dawen."

"I'm not tired. How about you go to bed first and I'll keep watch here for half the night?"

Zhao Shi took a puff from the water pipe and looked at Ding Dawen, who had been standing next to him without saying much.

"Second Grandpa."

"That's not necessary! I'm not tired at all now!"

"I have to go check on the fish in the live water tank later in the night."

"Just go back to sleep! Don't worry about me. If I really can't stand it anymore, I will call for someone else to help take a look."

Ding Dawen waved his hand. He was not tired at all. The other one was waiting for the second half of the night. He had to go to the live water tank to check on the fish Zhao Dahai had caught. This was his job as the head of the bed.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything more. If Ding Dawen could do it, there was no need for him to worry too much. He could go back to sleep and come back early tomorrow morning to replace Ding Dawen.

Ding Dawen made a pot of strong tea and sat on the chair, ate and drank, then looked at the sea around him. When the time came, he would go to the live water tank to check on the fish and then return to the chair in the cab to continue staring at the entire fishing boat and the sea around him. The weather was not very good now, so he had to stare carefully and absolutely could not sleep.

When Zhao Dahai woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning of the next day. He walked out of the cabin and entered the driving room. He saw his second grandfather Zhao Shi, Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua were already talking and chatting.

"Zhao Dahai."

"You can't go fishing in this weather, right?"

"Just sleep a little longer, there's no need to get up so early!"

Ding Chongshan pointed to the sea outside the cab as he spoke.

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea carefully and shook his head. The wind was indeed a little weaker, but it was not much smaller. The waves were even bigger. It was really impossible to go fishing in such weather. He could only stay on the fishing boat. The wind direction changed a little, and the place where he could catch fish yesterday disappeared. Now he couldn't even fish on the fishing boat.

Ding Chongshan told Zhao Dahai that if the weather was good in two days and a speedboat came, or if the fishing boats needed to go back to the dock, he would go back.

"Aren't you going to fish for a few more days?"

"Isn't it a good business that Brother Jie and the others can take care of?"

Zhao Dahai didn't expect that Ding Chongshan decided to go back.

Ding Chongshan smiled and shook his head. He had been fishing for several days. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun could indeed take care of the company's business, but he couldn't always fish on the fishing boat. After all, fishing was just for fun.

Seeing that Ding Chongshan had made up his mind, Zhao Dahai didn't say anything more. He would just fish in the sea nearby anyway, and could go out to sea anytime he wanted.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Let's go back together. I want to see what the fish farm at the dock is like."

Zhao Shi waited for Ding Chongshan to finish speaking, then told Zhao Dahai that he wanted to go back together.

"Second Grandpa." "If you want to go back, how about we just go back in a while?"

"There's definitely no way we can go fishing in this weather!"

"Why don't we just go there together!"

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided that the weather was bad now and it was impossible to go out to sea for fishing. It looked like the wind would not stop for a while. If it stopped, he would have to go out to sea tonight, or at least tomorrow morning.

My speedboat is quite large, so it is not suitable for fishing in this weather. However, there is no problem returning to the dock. Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua want to go back, and my second grandfather Zhao Shi also wants to go back. It is more convenient for us to drive the speedboat back together, and I can also take a look at the fish farms at the dock.

The next day, Zhao Shi said he wanted to go back and take a look. The weather was not good, so he simply drove the speedboat back by himself.

"Oh?"

"Are you going back?"

Zhao Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Dahai also wanted to go back and take a look.

"Correct!"

"The fish farm is actually quite important to us. Since we can't go out to sea and fish here, we might as well take this opportunity to go back and take a look."

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea outside the fishing boat. If the weather was good, even if he wanted to go back, it would be difficult. He had to hurry up and fish to make money. Now the weather was not good, so he could just sleep on the fishing boat. It would be a good idea to go back and take a look.

Zhao Shi and Ding Chongshan looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"Boss Lin."

"Do you want to go back or stay here and fish for a few more days?"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Lin Zuhua next to him.

Lin Zuhua pointed at Ding Chongshan and said with a smile that they should go back together. They had already caught all the fish that could be caught in the past few days of fishing. It was almost impossible to catch a mackerel bigger than the one Ding Chongshan caught. So they might as well go back together and wait for the next time they wanted to go fishing.

Zhao Dahai turned and walked out of the classroom, returned to the cabin, and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that he would go back to check on the fish farm.

Zhao Dahai didn't have much to prepare, except for the big mackerel that Ding Dawen had caught. He had to take it back with him. He had to move it out of the cold storage, put it in a large refrigerator, and carry it onto the speedboat. He also had to pack up Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua's belongings, especially the fishing rods, and take them with him.

Zhao Dahai waited for his second grandfather Zhao Shiding, Chongshan and Lin Zhihua to get on the speedboat and leave immediately to rush back to Shijiao Village Pier.

"Hey!"

"We really can't go fishing now, so we'd better just get some sleep!"

Lei Dayou looked at Zhao Dahai, and watched the speedboat leave and disappear after a while.

The wind and waves are quite strong now, so it is impossible to go out to sea to fish. Zhao Dahai is not here, so it is even more impossible for these people to catch any fish.

The only thing left is really just sleeping!
"correct!"

"Didn't Ding Dawen put a few crab pots here? We don't have anything to do right now, so we might as well pull the crab pots. Who knows, we might be able to get something to eat!"

Zhong Shizhu recalled the incident in which Ding Dawen offended Xie Long.

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou suddenly became interested. There was really nothing to do on the fishing boat now.

Zhong Shizhu called out to Ding Dawen loudly.

Ding Dawen came out of the cab and started working immediately when he heard that he had to pull the crab cage.

"Yo!"

"Not bad, not bad! Although it's not something valuable, it's enough for us to have a good meal!"

Liu Bin picked up a crab cage and emptied it out to see two crabs weighing three or four taels each, and two stone nine-ounce crabs.

"Hey!"

"When Ma Baozhu and the others came, the crabs were very abundant. It seems that the weather is really having an impact now. There are not many things left in the sea!"

Lei Dayou kept shaking his head. When Ma Baozhu came to the fishing boat last time, the crab cages contained some large orchid crabs weighing one kilogram.

"How can we have such good things every day? If that's the case, there's nothing to do. Just wait here for the crab cages to be placed. But by the end of the year, we can place crab cages on the artificial island and see if we can still catch winter crabs."

Zhong Shizhu recalled the winter crabs he caught in the crab cages before the Chinese New Year last year. Those were really good winter crabs.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Did Fan Xuelong really catch a lot of winter crabs last year?"

Ding Dawen asked Zhong Shizhu while pulling another crab cage. He had heard about this matter many times.

"Is there any need to say this? We caught a lot of winter crabs last year. Now we just have to see if we can catch more when the season arrives this year."

Zhong Shizhu recounted what happened last year in detail. Under normal circumstances, winter crabs could definitely be caught at that place last year, but after all, they hadn't gone to catch them this year, so we had to wait and see how it goes.

“Are all the thousands of kilograms of winter crabs unsold?”

Ding Dawen was shocked. Thousands of kilograms of winter crabs are worth a lot of money. Zhao Dahai didn't sell any of the ones he caught. This was really unexpected.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai said that he has worked hard for a year and earned a lot of money, so he won't sell these winter crabs. Everyone can take some home to eat, or give some to relatives and friends."

Liu Bin smiled and nodded. You know, these are very valuable winter crabs, and they are even more valuable during the Chinese New Year. If you sell them all, it will really be a lot of money, but Zhao Dahai didn't sell them. He gave them all to the workers or other familiar people. Zhao Dahai was really generous in this matter.

"You can eat a lot of orchid crabs, especially when you work with Zhao Dahai. You can eat whatever you want. But if I have to say, winter crabs are more delicious. They are full of roe. It's incredible. They are really delicious."

Lei Dayou couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of water. He and his people all went out to sea to fish, and they could often eat fresh fish, shrimps and crabs. Especially when they went out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai, they not only made a lot of money, but also caught more fish. They could eat whatever they wanted. He didn't care much about other fish, but he thought winter crabs were very delicious. He couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of winter.

"Ding Dawen."

"Aren't you going out to sea with us now? When we put out the crab cages during the Chinese New Year, it will be your fishing boat that will do the job. Then you will know how many winter crabs we can catch. You can take a few hundred kilograms home to eat during the Chinese New Year, or give them to others. It will be very prestigious."

Zhong Shizhu looked down at the crab cage he had just put up. He thought the catch was good, but when he compared it with the crab cage he had put up last year, the difference was not small at all.

"what!"

"The bell stone pillar."

"What are you doing? Do you think you can catch winter crabs at this time? This season is not right! The ordinary crabs and small fish in the crab cage are enough for us to eat. Take them to the kitchen and make a good meal."

Liu Bin looked at the crab cage and found that the quantity was enough, so he stopped pulling the crab cage. He picked up the bucket of fish and strode to the kitchen. He had to cook it now. After eating, he would smoke a cigarette, say a few words, and go back to the cabin to continue sleeping. He would wait for the weather to improve and for Zhao Dahai to come back before going out to sea to continue fishing.
