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

Chapter 1131 It’s really a good job!

The sea breeze is getting cooler and cooler.

Ma Baozhu brought out a big pot and placed it directly on the floor of the platform. There was no need for a table. Just take out clean bowls and fill a bowl for yourself if you want to eat.

"delicious!"

"At this time, there is nothing more comfortable than a bowl of hot porridge made with such fresh squid!"

Zhao Shi filled a bowl of porridge and nodded continuously while drinking.

The wind is cooler at night, and the air is humid because of the sea water.

Don’t think that it’s hot during the day, it’s cooler at this time, even a little cold.

Boiling hot porridge is better than anything else. It not only fills your stomach but also warms your whole body, making you feel very comfortable.

Shi Guangming drank most of the bowl of porridge, picked up a small squid, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was so crispy and fresh.

Shi Guangming didn't say anything. He drank two large bowls in one breath before stopping.

"too delicious!"

Shi Guangming touched his stomach. It was really delicious. No kidding.

"It's really great here. There are lights at night, and many small fish gather here. There are really a lot of small squids. If you want to eat other fish, you can just put out a fishing net or use a scoop net to catch them."

"That night, when I was waiting for the early morning, I wanted to eat something, so I just got some small fish, shrimp or squid!"

Ding Ailian pointed at the fishing net at her feet while drinking porridge. Groups of small fish gathered around it, but none of them swam into the net cage. In the cage, there were sea bass weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, all floating on the water, staring at the school of small fish.

Don’t be fooled by the small size of these fishes, which are only as big as one or two fingers, but they are extremely delicious when scooped up and fried.

These days, myself, Ma Baozhu and the other four people working here on the fish farm have been catching these small fish or squids to eat.

"Ma Baozhu! Ding Ailian!"

"Xiao Xiang told you guys, you can eat the fish here at the fish paddock if you want!"

"It doesn't matter if it's sea bass or black bream or grouper or whatever."

"This fish can definitely be sold for a lot of money, but to Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai and the rest of us, these fish are just fish and are not worth that much money."

Zhao Shi reminded Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu that all the fish in the fish fillet, whether they are sea bass, black porgy or grouper, even the most valuable red grouper, can be eaten.

"Second Grandpa."

"Xiaoxiang told me about this, and she also told Ailian about this."

"If you want to eat sea bass or black porgy, we'll get some for you."

"There are many people waiting for fish fillets like grouper. It's okay to make one or two trips a month. I will pay attention to the arrangements."

"But then again, those of us who spend all day on the fish steaks eat fish, shrimp and crabs every day and we really don't want to eat them when we eat too much."

"Vegetables and meat are better. I like them more."

Ma Baozhu nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang had told her about this a long time ago, and not just once. However, no matter whether she or other people in the grammar class, they all preferred to eat meat and vegetables.

"Correct!"

"The fish in the fish fillet are really big. It's okay to eat them once or twice, but if you eat more, I really don't think they are that delicious."

"I think these small fish, shrimps, or squids are more delicious."

Ding Ailian smiled and filled another half bowl of porridge. This was not out of politeness or anything else. It was just that people like them ate too much, and they felt that eating it every day was not very delicious, so meat or something tasted better.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both got to know Ding Ailian or Ma Baozhu. What she said is actually true. People who grew up by the sea definitely like to eat fish, shrimps and crabs, but this does not necessarily mean they have to eat big fish, shrimps and crabs. In many cases, small fish and shrimps are fresher and more delicious.

"The water here at our fish farm is very deep. I think you can find a few crab pots and put them here."

"I can catch crabs or other fish every time I go, but I just put some crab pots here and pull them up to take a look when I have nothing to do."

"The water here is so deep, there must be crabs, at least some big crabs."

"Ding Dawen's fishing boat stops and waits for Zhao Dahai to come back from fishing. He does the same thing, and sometimes he even fishes."

Shi Guangming told Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian that they could set up a wire tower or go fishing in this place.

Whether it's the crab cage or the fish you catch, you can eat them yourself or sell them if you want, and the money from the sales belongs to you.

"Grandpa Shi."

"That's what Ding Dawen did on the fishing boat, but it's not a good idea for us to do that here on the fish farm, right?"

"It's fine to put crab cages and get some fish, shrimp and crabs to eat, but it's not so good to sell them yourself."

Ma Baozhu hesitated and shook her head. Ding Dawen did indeed do that, but she felt that it was not the right place to do that in the fish farm. It was okay to put a crab cage and catch some crabs to cook and eat, but it was not possible to make money by selling them.

"You make the decision on this matter. If you think it's okay, then do it this way. If you think it's not okay, then don't do it this way."

Zhao Shi knew that Ma Baozhu was worried that if such a loophole was opened, the people working on the fish raft would be so focused on putting the crab cages that few of them would work seriously or it would affect their work. Ding Xiaoxiang said that Ma Baozhu was mainly in charge of the fish raft. If Ma Baozhu thought it was okay, then do it. If he thought it was not okay, then forget about it. It was not a big deal.

Ma Baozhu nodded and said, "Just make your own decision."

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming finished two bowls of porridge and sat for a while. Then they saw that it was really almost time and felt a little sleepy, so they went back to their room to sleep.

"Elaine."

"Why don't you go get some sleep?"

"I just need to watch over the fish fillets here, there are others too!"

"Don't we have to go to see the fishing boats with Shi Zhongwei when it gets light? Don't sleep a little longer. You're too tired."

Ma Baozhu urged Ding Ailian to go to bed quickly.

Ding Ailian shook her head.

"What's the matter with you? Are you still worried about Shi Zhongwei borrowing so much money to buy a sea fishing boat?"

When Ma Baozhu saw Ding Ailian's expression, he knew that she was still thinking about borrowing money.

"How can I not worry? This is a huge sum of money. When will I be able to pay it back?"

Ding Ailian knew that Shi Zhongwei should indeed borrow this sum of money, but it was a bit more than before, and she was really worried about when she would be able to pay it back. Ma Baozhu was the girlfriend of her elder brother Ding Dawen, and she was waiting to marry into the family. She would be her sister-in-law, and there was nothing to hide in her mind.

"Xiaoxiang has already explained the reasoning behind this to you more than once. You know what it is."

"If it weren't for the fact that you could have a say in Jiale Shizhong's life and live a better life, why would Xiaoxiang need to do such a thing?"

"Xiaoxiang didn't ask Shizhong to pay back the money in a year or so."

"Don't think about it!"

"I haven't married Shi Zhongwei yet! There's no need to worry about such things."

Ma Baozhu smiled.

Ding Ailian is really worrying too much.

"Hey!"

"That's true, but how can I not worry? This amount of money is really too huge!"

Ding Ailian breathed a sigh of relief. Baozhu or Ding Xiaoxiang had told her the truth countless times, and she knew very well that Shi Zhong would definitely make money by buying such a sea fishing boat, but she still couldn't help but worry.

"Forget it!"

"No matter how you talk about this matter, it's useless. If you want to worry about it, then you can only worry about it. Wait until Shi Zhongwei pays back the money he borrowed one day before you can feel relieved!"

"It will be hard work in the next few years, but think about it. After all the hard work, the fishing boat will be yours. You can make a lot of money every time you go out to sea. It's really hard to find such a good deal."

Ma Baozhu knew very well that in the next two or three years, Shi Zhongwei and even Ding Ailian would have a hard time, especially Shi Zhongwei. Most or even almost all of the money he earned from each fishing spot at sea had to be used to pay back debts. However, after a few years, such a large sea fishing boat would be his, and all the money he would earn from then on would be his.

"The key to this matter is this Haitiao boat. It was not bought by Shi Jiehua or Shi Guangming, but by Shi Zhong for himself. All the money earned was for Shi Zhongwei, waiting for you to marry into the family. This is for you two young couples."

"Don't you need me or Xiaoxiang to tell you this over and over again?"

"You can figure this out yourself."

"If you want to get this kind of benefit, you must take certain risks. With Ding Xiaoxiang's support, you don't have to worry about this matter, right?"

Ma Baozhu patted Ding Ailian on the shoulder. These reasons were not complicated. This was the fundamental reason why Ding Xiaoxiang was willing to borrow money from Shi Zhong to buy a large sea fishing boat.

"I have to tell you."

"If Shi Zhongwei doesn't dare to do this, Xiaoxiang or Zhao Dahai might not be happy about you marrying Shi Zhongwei. Another thing is that if Shi Zhongwei only borrows part of the money, Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai might not lend the money at all."

Ma Baozhu is older than Ding Ailian, has experienced more things, has more experience, and has a more thorough understanding of this matter.

"Xiao Xiang is your cousin."

"Zhao Dahai is your cousin-in-law."

"Don't look at Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. They are now cooperating with Shi Guangming and his family, and they can make a lot of money from this cooperation. But no matter what, the most important thing is to choose a good family for you."

"If Shi Zhongwei doesn't dare to do such a thing even though he has such an opportunity, then he really has no future at all. There is no need to marry a man like him."

"You know the weight of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's words in front of your parents. As long as they disagree, you must think carefully about it, or even fail this matter."

Ma Baozhu told Ding Ailian about this matter in a low voice.

"what?"

“Is it really like this?”

"If Shi Zhongwei really doesn't dare to lend money, is it possible that Sister Xiaoxiang will disagree with what's going on between Shi Zhongwei and me?"

Ding Ailian asked, she really hadn't thought about this matter.

“That’s my guess!”

"But it's not that far off! If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoxiang tomorrow or some other time if he's really like this."

Ma Baozhu didn’t know whether Ding Xiaoxiang really thought this way, but he felt that it didn’t matter much. At least Ding Xiaoxiang would have plans in this regard.

"Don't think so much about it."

"Whether it's this matter or something else, if you can't make up your mind or can't figure it out, just ask Xiaoxiang. As long as she agrees with you, then you can do it. If she doesn't agree, don't think of any reasons and just don't do it."

Ma Baozhu knew Ding Xiaoxiang's abilities.

"correct!"

"Sister Baozhu."

"Don't you and my brother have any other plans? If you have any ideas, just talk to my sister Xiaoxiang. There will definitely be no problem."

Ding Ailian glanced at Ma Baozhu. Ever since she started working on the fish raft, her relationship with her elder brother Ding Dawen was a done deal. She was just waiting for the two families to meet and discuss the matter.

"I don't have any idea."

"Your brother and I are both people with relatively straightforward personalities. We don't have any great abilities."

"This is different from your situation with Shi Zhongwei."

"I have discussed with your brother that there is no need to do anything else. He should just drive the fishing boat for Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai, and I will stay here at the fish farm. The work is not too tiring, it is close to home, and the money is good."

"You can't find a job like this even if you search with a lantern."

"Your family is in business. If Dawen could do this kind of work, your father would have taken him to do business a long time ago. Isn't it because he can't do business that he has to go out to work?"

“I can’t even get a job.”

"The character is as thick as a rock."

"In recent years, no one has been able to hold a job for long, and they have all been bullied by others."

"Now, running a fishing boat is the most suitable thing for Dawen."

"It's really not tiring to do this little bit of work every day. I spend a lot of time at sea, but it's not far away, and I come back every few days. This is really the best."

Ma Baozhu smiled. What Ding Ailian meant was that if she and Ding Dawen had any ideas and wanted to do business or anything else, they could talk to Ding Xiaoxiang, including borrowing money. However, she and Ding Dawen didn't have too many ideas, and their personalities were not suitable for doing business or anything else.
