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

Chapter 1110 We still have to go out to sea!
2 p.m.

Zhao Dahai looked at the water that was gradually disappearing in front of him and stopped the speedboat.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"That's all the fish we caught today. Let's stop and have a good rest before we go back to the fishing boat."

Zhao Dahai shouted at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Yo!"

"What kind of place are we in?"

While putting away the pole, Zhong Shizhu looked around and found a small island in the distance. It looked a little strange, yet a little familiar, as if he had been to this place before.

"That should be from Big Bird Island, right?"

"Didn't we come to this place once when we went fishing with other fishing boats?"

Liu Bin looked at the small island in the distance, frowned and pondered for a long time, remembering that he and Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and a few others had come to this place a few years ago when they followed other people's fishing boats out to sea.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"This place is Big Bird Island!"

"The shape of this small island is a bit like a bird, and there are many large seabirds on the island. People who go out to sea to fish simply call this place Big Bird Island."

Lei Dayou put away his fishing rod, took the cup and drank the water in big gulps.

Zhao Dahai stared at the island carefully for a long time, making sure that he had never been to this place before. He asked curiously how far the island was from the island foam area or the artificial island reef.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da and a few others discussed it and felt that they should be 20 nautical miles away from the island and reef foam area at this time.

"No way?"

"Is it that far?"

"So, we went so far away while fishing and driving a speedboat!"

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. He didn't expect to run so far.

I originally wanted to go to the island reef foam area to see if I could catch sea bass, but I didn’t expect to see flowing water on the sea before I got there.

I tried it and saw that there were no fish in the water, but I found that there were not only big mackerels, sea bass, but also large mackerels, sea bass, and horse mackerels.

Drive the speedboat along the current and keep fishing.

Before I knew it I had travelled twenty nautical miles.

This distance is not close.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da drank some water, took a break and immediately started to work. The fish they caught had to be checked and sorted. The living fish should continue to be kept in the live water tank, while the dead fish should be fished out of the live water tank and put into the refrigerator or cold storage. Those that had not been sorted out should be sorted out to avoid going all the way back. The fish in the cold storage or refrigerator were frozen hard and if they did not look good, it would affect the price. As far as possible, they had to be sorted and displayed neatly.

The fish in the live water tank must be carefully checked to see if there are too many. All of these fish must be kept alive as much as possible.

Mainly sea bass, don't even think about raising mackerel and mackerel, as these two types of fish cannot be kept alive.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou sorted out all the fish, packed up the speedboat and went back immediately.

When Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou returned to the fishing boat, it was already dark. After getting on the boat, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It was a bit hard fishing today!"

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but complain.

Today's fishing time was definitely not the longest, but it was very tiring. It was not because of the wind and waves, but because there were constant surges on the sea, and they were getting bigger and bigger.

"I've already vomited twice today!"

Zhong Shizhu wiped the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

I have been at sea for 20 to 30 years and have seen countless storms and waves, but every time I encountered a big surge on the sea, I found it difficult to withstand it.

This is the situation today!

"No one has a good solution for this kind of thing!"

Lei Dayou vomited twice in the same way.

No matter how many years a person has been at sea, no matter if he or she is usually seasick or not, if he or she encounters this situation, almost no one can escape.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You don't seem to have any problem at all!"

Liu Bin looked at Zhao Dahai. Among the four people, Zhao Dahai was the only one who did not feel seasick throughout the whole day.

"what!"

"I was so busy driving the speedboat and fishing that I didn't even think about this."

Zhao Dahai really didn't think about seasickness at all. He had been following the flowing water to fish today. He had to watch the speedboat and control it, and then go fishing. He was busy all the time and really didn't think about whether he would get seasick or not.

“Good health means good health!”

"I couldn't stand being on the big fishing boat today. I almost got seasick!"

Lin Zuhua admires Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou very much, not to mention Zhao Dahai, who is a real genius.

The speedboat is much smaller than a fishing boat, and it is very unstable and bumpy on the surface. If you encounter it once, you will never forget it for the rest of your life.

Lin Zuhua remembered it very clearly. He had encountered this problem seven times since he went out to sea to fish. Each time he felt worse than death. He lay on the speedboat like a dead dog and could not move.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did vomit, but they still fished for the whole day. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do this, not to mention that Zhao Dahai not only did not vomit, but also had to drive a speedboat to fish, which was even more amazing.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are in very good health, and Zhao Dahai is in even better health, so they can do this.

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea and decided to go out to sea around noon tomorrow.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou vomited several times today. They had been fishing for a whole day and it was very tiring. I did not vomit, but it was still very tiring. If the waves are bigger tomorrow, I won't be able to bear it. I might as well take more rest.

"If we go out to sea again at noon tomorrow, there won't be any fish by then, right?"

Lei Dayou immediately shook his head. He knew that Zhao Dahai just thought that they would feel more comfortable if they rested more, but it was a waste of time and it was really unnecessary. He thought they should go out to sea to fish early tomorrow morning.

"It's still very early now. Let's take a shower, have a meal, and go to bed right away."

"Ding Dawen, check the weather, especially the sea surface."

"If the swell gets bigger, we'll go out to sea to fish at noon tomorrow. If it doesn't get bigger, or even nothing at all, we'll go out to sea at three or four in the morning."

Liu Bin also felt that it was unnecessary to rest for such a long time. Zhao Dahai thought for a while and nodded.

It is indeed a bit tiring today, but it is really early now. I will go to bed after dinner. It will be more than enough if I can sleep until three or four in the morning tomorrow.

If the waves are big, don't go out to sea to fish. If the waves on the sea are small and don't have much impact, then go out to sea to fish.

"Brother Dawen."

"At 2 or 3 in the morning, check the situation on the beach. If it's similar to now, there's no need to call us!"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Ding Dawen who was sitting next to him.

"Ok!"

Ding Dawen agreed.

Zhao Dahai asked Lin Zuwen if he had caught any mackerel today.

When Lin Zuhua heard this, he smiled bitterly.

I didn't catch a single mackerel the whole day today.

Not to mention the big ones, there is no sign of those that are three or five kilograms.

"I didn't catch any mackerel here today. If I had known the situation would be like this, I would have gone out to sea with your speedboat!"

Lin Zuhua really felt a little regretful.

Today, I went drift fishing on the fishing boat, but I didn't catch any mackerel. On the contrary, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu went out to sea to fish in a speedboat, following the current, and caught large sea bass, mackerel, and mackerel, the largest of which weighed forty or fifty kilograms.

Lin Zuhua knew that as long as he followed the speedboat out to sea today, he would be able to get these fish until he didn't want any more.

"Boss Lin."

"We did catch a lot of fish today, and they were all big. I know that many people who go fishing at sea want to catch fish with strong pulling power, such as mackerel or swordfish, including sea bass."

"It's a good thing you didn't go out to sea with our express delivery, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to us at this time."

Liu Bin smiled and pointed to the sea next to the fishing boat.

Lin Zuhua's face changed. When he said this just now, he forgot that the sea surface today was different from usual. There was not much wind, no waves, but there were very terrible surges.

People like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou vomited several times. If they were to go out to sea on a speedboat today, they would not be able to stand, let alone sit or even lie down, which would be very uncomfortable.

Once a speedboat leaves the dock, it will never return to the dock unless there are special circumstances, such as someone getting injured, or there is a problem with the speedboat's engine, or the weather is bad.

Once he got on the speedboat and went out to sea, no matter how much he vomited, he would have to wait until Zhao Dahai finished fishing before coming back.

No one will feel sorry for me, so I can just endure it.

When Lin Zuhua thought of this situation, he couldn't help but shudder.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou both laughed when they saw Lin Zuhua's expression, but they knew that this was the case and could not blame Lin Zuhua.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

It's a bit cold when the wind blows.

Lin Zuhua strode into the cab, immediately took his water cup, poured boiling hot water into it, drank several sips, shook his hands, and wiped his face.

"Why did the wind suddenly blow so hard?"

Lin Zuhua glanced at the deck of the fishing boat as he spoke. He had just replaced some live baits on a few rods, and after such a short while, he felt a little cold.

"Is it going to rain?"

Lin Zuhua glanced at Ding Dawen.

Ding Dawen shook his head and pointed to the radio beside him. He had just listened to the weather forecast, which did not say it would rain. Moreover, there was a moon in the sky and the clouds were not thick at all. There was no sign of dark clouds.

The weather is just a little wind blowing over the sea at night. As long as there are no dark clouds in the sky, this kind of wind will only make it a little cold and it is really impossible for it to rain.

"Whether it rains or not is actually not a big problem. The most important thing is that the wind is not too strong. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai and his friends won't be able to go fishing in the early morning."

Ding Dawen was not worried about the rain at all.

Having worked on a fishing boat for some time, I already know that fishermen are not afraid of rain, but only of wind. As long as there is no wind, especially no strong wind, they will definitely go out to sea to fish.

"Oh?"

"Are you planning to call Zhao Dahai and the others to go sea fishing at two or three in the morning?"

Lin Zuhua remembered what Zhao Dahai and Ding Dawen had said, that as long as there was no surge on the sea, they would wake up at two or three in the morning to go fishing. Otherwise, they would wait until tomorrow morning or even noon or afternoon to go fishing.

"Correct!"

"It is indeed a little windy now, but it is not too strong. There are waves on the sea, but they are not surging anymore."

"In weather like this, Zhao Dahai and his friends will definitely go fishing."

"I've just asked the kitchen to prepare some food and drinks. When the time comes, I'll go and call Zhao Dahai and Uncle Shizhu to get up and go fishing."

Ding Dawen nodded.

Zhao Dahai has already said that as long as there is no treatment, or the surge becomes smaller, you have to go sea fishing.

It is indeed a bit windy now, but not very strong. In normal times, Zhao Dahai goes out to sea to fish in such weather.

Don’t say it’s a lot. Even if you only catch 1,000 kilograms of fish every trip to Zhuhai every day, you can still make a lot of money. If you waste a day, you will earn a lot less money.

Lin Zuhua immediately understood why Ding Dawen or Zhao Dahai had to go out to sea to fish in such weather.

"Other people might stay home or not go out to sea in this kind of weather!"

"Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu must have gone out to sea to fish!"

Lin Zuhua knew very well that most of those who went out to sea to fish would not go out to sea to fish if they encountered such weather.

If the speedboat is not big, it is a bit dangerous to go out to sea in such weather. More importantly, those people can't catch many fish and make much money. It is not cost-effective to go out to sea in such weather, so it is better not to go out to sea.

While chatting with Ding Dawen, Lin Zuhua would occasionally glance at the rods on the deck of the fishing boat.

It is indeed easier to fish, but that doesn't mean you don't have to do anything.

This kind of fishing method generally requires the use of live bait, whether it is a live fish or a live crab. After going into the sea for an hour or two, the fish will die in three or four hours at most and need to be replaced with a new one. The dead fish or crab will have very poor results and almost no fish can be caught.

Lin Zuhua would go up to the hook every two hours or so to check if the fish was alive, then pull it back in and turn it out again. It would take a lot of time to check several bunches of sugarcane, and it would take almost an hour to put it out again.

Lin Zuhua was full of energy at the beginning, but at one o'clock in the morning, he started yawning constantly.
