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

Chapter 1107: Too little fishing?

“Where did the fish go?”

"If it's so fresh, why not just scoop it up and cook it!"

Liu Lei looked left and right and saw that all the sea bass in the cage were swimming around. They were all about the same size. He wondered where the one that had just escaped to had gone.

"If you want to eat fish, isn't that easy?"

"You came so early, you must have missed breakfast, right?"

"How about some seafood porridge this morning?"

"Second Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa stayed up all night and have gone back to sleep. They have already had breakfast. They caught a sea bass and got some shrimps to make seafood porridge."

Ma Baozhu looked at Liu Lei and Yang Qin. It was just dawn. They came so early and must not have had breakfast yet. There was nothing else on the fish fillet, but there were a lot of fish.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin were not polite. They indeed had not had breakfast yet, so it would be very good to cook some seafood porridge.

Liu Lei was using a scoop net to scoop up fish when he saw a fish weighing about 30 kilograms floating to the surface of the water. Without a second thought, he reached out and scooped it up.

The fish was very big. Once it entered the scoop net, it struggled very hard and splashed sea water everywhere.

Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and Yang Qin had already hidden to the side. Liu Lei had a scoop net in his hand and had no way to hide. His head and face were covered with sea water.

Liu Lei was holding a scoop net filled with fish and smashed it hard against the aisle of the fish farm, then he fainted.

Liu Lei carried the fish and walked to the kitchen of the fish farm. He handed it to the person who was invited to work and told him to cook the seafood porridge. He then left it to his own devices. Fresh sea bass is very delicious when used to cook porridge. There is no need for any complicated methods. Just simple fish fillets will do.

"Are there almost 30,000 kilograms of fish here?"

"Wouldn't we have to come back and release the fish in a few days? If so, how many fish would we release here?"

Yang Qin looked at the fish farm in front of her. The water was very clear and she could see every fish in it clearly, swimming back and forth.

"That's impossible to say!"

"There's still a long time before the fishing moratorium!"

“I really don’t know how many fish will be put in here in the end!”

Ma Baozhu shook her head.

The fish here are specially prepared for the fishing off-season.

This time, they released nearly 30,000 kilograms of fish. In a few days, Ding Dawen's fishing boat will have to come back and release another 10,000 kilograms or so. If this continues, it is really unknown how many fish will be left in the end.

Liu Lei came back and took over the conversation.

"Will the number of fish in this fish farm exceed 100,000 kilograms, or even more?"

Yang Qin pointed and saw a group of black sea bream swimming around in the fish pond.

"One hundred thousand jin is definitely no problem. Whether it will be more is hard to say. It depends on how many fish Brother Dahai can catch in the near future."

"The weather this season is very stable and there won't be any major problems."

Liu Lei knew Zhao Dahai's fishing skills very well. The fishing off-season was about a month away. Excluding the fish sold every day, raising 200,000 kilograms of fish here was not a difficult task.

"correct!"

"Liu Lei."

"Ding Xiaoxiang mentioned two things when she called this morning. The store at the dock has been taken down."

"The other is that we have taken another piece of land next to the fish farm, which is about 300 to 400 square meters."

“If we build a fish raft, we can connect it to the current one.”

Yang Qin pointed in the direction of the dock and then pointed to a place next to the fish farm. Ding Xiaoxiang told her these two things when she called her early in the morning. On the way here, she had forgotten to tell Liu Lei.

"Has the shop on the pier been taken down?"

Liu Lei couldn't help but glance at the dock.

I had been planning to buy this shop a month ago, but had to stop because of an accident. Unexpectedly, a full month had passed and I bought it all at once.

The location of this store is very good. It would be a very good investment for Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to take it over.

"Hey!"

“When Brother Dahai and Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang have something on their hands to do, they are really refreshing.”

Liu Lei was very envious.

A shop in a location like this will definitely make money. One way is to rent it out and collect rent. Even if you use it yourself, the shop will become more and more valuable as time goes by.

I don't have enough money on hand, and part of my money is invested in Hongyun Restaurant. No matter what I do, I can only do small things. Even if I knew the news and had the opportunity, I couldn't take over such a store.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang have enough money in their hands, all in cash, so they can make a lot of money as long as they see a good opportunity.

Not to mention myself, many people cannot envy me for this.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin stayed on the fish rack and waited until they finished their breakfast, which was almost ten o'clock in the morning before they left.

Artificial islands and reefs.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky. The sun was very bright, there was no wind on the sea, and it was very hot and stuffy.

"go!"

"Let's go back."

"If the weather continues like this, he won't be able to catch many fish."

"Ding Dawen's fishing boat should have returned. Let's go back and have a meal, take a shower, and have a good sleep, and then go out to sea to fish at nine or ten o'clock tonight."

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to reel in their fishing rods.

"This weather is really damn hot!"

Zhong Shizhu put away the pole and wiped his forehead. The beads of sweat were as big as soybeans.

"what!"

"The bell stone pillar."

"I think you have had too many good days. This kind of weather is not normal. Do we need a fan or something to keep warm when we go out to sea?"

Liu Bin put away his pole, turned around and laughed at Zhong Shizhu.

"Boss Lin."

"Isn't this a bit unbearable?"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Lin Zuhua.

Ding Dawen's fishing boat returned to the dock last night to put fish into the fish raft.

Lin Zuhua has caught quite a few swordfish in the past few days. To be honest, none of them are too small, but none of them is bigger than the one caught by Ding Chongshan. He was not giving up and wanted to continue fishing for a few days. He did not go back with Ding Dawen's fishing boat, but got on a speedboat and went fishing with him.

This time the fishing time was much longer than normal, and the weather was very hot during the day.

I and Zhong Shizhu go fishing at sea every day and are very used to it, but Lin Zuhua may not be the same.

“Ha!” “It’s true that I feel a little hot and tired, but that’s what fishing is like.”

"I can't compare to you guys, but I can still handle it."

"People who are afraid of the sun should just not go fishing."

Lin Zuhua looked at the sky. The sun was indeed very big and very hot. He had tried to dry his clothes so many times that he could see layers of white salt frost, some of which was sweat and some of which was splashing sea water.

"Today I caught a large grouper weighing 80 to 90 kilograms."

“It’s worth it even if it’s just for a day!”

Lin Zuhua took a look at the grouper in the live water tank. It wasn't a lot, but there were quite a few. Among them was one weighing nearly 90 kilograms, which he had caught in the morning when it was almost dawn.

I also caught a few slightly smaller groupers, including a red grouper that weighed almost five kilograms.

This kind of harvest is really worth it, even if you get more sun.

"Correct!"

"Sunbathing and the like are out of the question, as long as I can catch fish."

"If we catch more fish, we will have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire several times."

Lei Dayou packed up his rod, took out a cigarette from his pocket, patted it around, lit it up for himself, took several deep puffs, let out a long breath, and suddenly became more energetic.

"Did you discover something?"

"Ever since we went fishing with Zhao Dahai, one of us has been smoking better and better, while the other has been smoking less and less!"

Zhong Shizhu suddenly remembered this incident.

"what!"

"What's so strange about this?"

“I’m making a lot of money!”

"The cigarettes you smoke are definitely getting better and better."

“Why are people smoking less?”

"I'm always busy fishing, how can I have time to smoke?"

Lin Zuhua patted his thigh. He felt a little tired after standing for a whole day.

"correct!"

"Are there fewer speedboats fishing here today than usual? I feel like there aren't as many speedboats as in the past few days?"

Lin Zuhua drank some water and pointed to the surrounding sea. It was still very early and the fishing speedboats could not go back. The main reason was that those who came here, whether they caught fish or not, should be here.

Lin Zuhua didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the speedboats he could see now were fewer and obviously much fewer than when he came here to fish a few days ago.

"Correct!"

"We saw a lot fewer speedboats here today."

Zhao Dahai nodded. He had been paying attention to this matter and had already noticed that there were not as many speedboats here as usual.

"Haven't we already said this? There are indeed fish on the artificial islands and reefs, but one reason is that they are far away, and the other is that fishing is difficult."

"At first the news spread all over the world, and everyone thought this was a good place to catch fish and make a lot of money."

"Everyone came here in a rush, but after arriving here, they found that things were not what they thought."

"It's far away, so it takes longer and more gasoline to get here, which is very costly. In addition, fishing is difficult and risky."

"As time goes by."

"The number of speedboats coming here will gradually decrease, and only those who come here to fish and make money will remain. Other people will not come here anymore."

Zhao Dahai knew very well what was going on.

There are indeed a lot of fish on the artificial islands and reefs, but the fish here are really difficult to catch. People who go out to sea to fish in speedboats like this all want to make money. If they can make money, they will go to faraway places. But if they can't make money, they really can't go on after making a few trips.

Why are there so many fewer speedboats today than in previous days?

The weather was very good and there was no danger at all. The only possibility was that most of the people on the speedboats that swarmed here some time ago did not catch any fish and did not make any money.

If I couldn't make any money and had to lose money every day, I would definitely not dare to come to such a place again.

Zhao Dahai saw that everyone's sugarcane had been packed up. After resting for a while, they drove the speedboat away from the artificial island and headed back.

Zhao Dahai saw Ding Dawen's fishing boat parked in the original place from afar, and immediately sped up and drove over.

Ding Dawen had already seen Zhao Dahai's speedboat and immediately lowered the ladder. When the speedboat approached, he shouted loudly for people to start working.

Zhao Dahai waited until all the fish were transferred to the large fishing boat before he went onto the deck of the boat with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da and a few others.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Is it difficult to catch fish today?"

Ding Dawen walked in front of Zhao Dahai.

When I went back yesterday, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others had already gone to the artificial islands and reefs to fish. They just came back at this time. The fishing time was much longer than usual, but I just found that the fish I caught weighed about three or four thousand kilograms.

"Yo!"

"Ding Dawen."

"What's wrong with you? When did you start looking down on fish weighing three or four thousand kilograms?"

"Not to mention this isn't just any fish, not a sea bass or anything like that, this is a grouper."

"Don't you see that most of these fish are red-spotted?"

"For those who go fishing on artificial islands and reefs, if they can catch 200 to 300 kilograms, it's already very good and they can make a lot of money."

When Lin Zuhua heard what Ding Dawen said, he was a little amused.

Did Zhao Dahai catch few fish?

How is this possible?

Three to four thousand kilograms of grouper, and a considerable portion of it is red grouper, which is the most valuable type of grouper.

There is no truth in this statement.

Ding Dawen thought about it and nodded a little embarrassedly. Since when did he always feel that Zhao Dahai had to catch 10,000 kilograms of fish whenever he went fishing at sea?

But this is impossible. How can we catch so many fish every time we go out to sea?

"what!"

"I myself don't know what the hell is going on."

"I always feel that if you go fishing in the sea, you have to bite off tens of thousands of gold. Otherwise, it's really too little."

Ding Dawen had exactly the same idea. Whenever Zhao Dahai went out to sea, he had to catch at least 10,000 kilograms or 8,000 kilograms of fish. 3,000 or 4,000 kilograms was really too little.
