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

Chapter 1135 Hurry up and build another one! Otherwise it will be very troublesome!
Shi Guangming returned home and looked around. Neither Shi Jiehua nor Shi Guangming had returned. He wanted to call them, but he didn't know where to call, so he could only wait at home. He waited for two or three hours but no one came back.

Shi Guangming knew that Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei would definitely not come back tonight, and there was no point for him to stay at home, so he simply left home and drove the speedboat back to the fish farm.

"Shi Guangming?"

"What's the matter with you? Why are you here at the fish farm at this hour? Didn't you go home?"

Zhao Shi heard the sound of the speedboat engine. He walked out of the room and saw that it was Shi Guangming. He was a little surprised. While talking, he helped pull the speedboat's cable and tied it to the fish rack.

"Hey!"

"Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong are both missing, and He Jian is also missing. I want to make a phone call to ask about their situation, but I don't know where I should call to find them."

"It's too boring to stay at home, so I might as well come back to the fish paddock and smoke and chat with you!"

Shi Guangming let out a long sigh. He went back just to see what the situation was with the fishing boat, but in the end he didn't know anything.

"Isn't this all in vain?"

"I said you are just looking for trouble for yourself!"

"Hasn't it been said a long time ago? Jiehua and He Jian can go alone. There will be no problem. You just need to wait for the newly bought sea fishing boat to return to the dock tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Zhao Shi laughed out loud.

"What else can it be? It can only be like this!"

"Forget it!"

"There's really no need to worry about this!"

"If the sea fishing boat doesn't come back tomorrow, it will come back the day after tomorrow!"

"Wait until we come back here and we'll go take another look!"

Shi Guangming really gave up now.

"Yo!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Why are you back? Weren't you waiting at home until dawn?"

Ma Baozhu came over from the other end of the fish farm and just took a look around. He saw that there was no problem with the sea bass, black sea bream and giant grouper. They were very lively and kept swimming around.

"Yo!"

"Ma Baozhu."

"You are asking this even though you already know the answer. You are asking about something that is not relevant to the topic!"

Shi Guangming smiled. It was impossible for Ma Baozhu not to know what was going on. She said that just to make fun of herself for being so anxious to find out what Shi Zhong had bought for the sea fishing boat, and making a wasted trip.

"Grandpa Shi."

"It's almost one in the morning now!"

"When do you and Second Grandpa plan to go to bed? When I was patrolling the fish farm just now, I saw a lot of barramundi circling outside the fish farm! They were all attracted by the lights!"

"They look pretty big and fat. How about we use a scoop net to scoop some out and fry them?"

Ma Baozhu pointed to the northeast corner of the fish farm, where the light was on. At this time, the tide was flowing through that place, and a lot of barramundi gathered there. These fish were very smart and did not swim into the fish farm. The sea bass in the net cages of the fish farm could only watch the barramundi splashing in the water without being able to bite them. When you walked by, those barramundi were not afraid of people at all, and you would definitely catch them all with a scoop net.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming became interested when they heard this. One of them took a scoop net and the other took a basket, and they walked along the aisle of the fish farm to the northeast corner.

"Yo!"

"No way! How come there is such a large group of big wave fish?"

Shi Guangming was shocked when he saw the densely packed schools of barramundi on the water. There were really a lot of them. If they were all caught, they would weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.

There was some noise when he, Zhao Shi, Ma Baozhu and a few others came over, but the fish were not afraid at all.

Shi Guangming stretched the scoop net in his hand into the water, picked up the full net in a blink of an eye, and poured it into the net box of the fish farm next to him. The sea bass chased these fish frantically, and the splashing water was almost half a meter high.

"Shi Guangming! What are you crazy about?"

"Each of these sea bass weighs more than 10 or 20 kilograms. If you throw some fish in like this, won't you have to pour a bowl of water into the frying pan?"

The clothes on Zhao Shi's feet were soaked with sea water.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Zhao!"

"You two are the ones who fish! Call me when you're done and I'll come and carry the fish!"

When Ma Baozhu saw Shi Guangming pouring the fish in the scoop net into the fish rack, he immediately stepped back several steps and kept a distance from others so as not to be affected. However, he was shocked to see the huge sea bass rushing out of the water. Although he grew up by the sea, it was the first time he had seen such a scene.

"what!"

"Don't we have to see if these fish are really vigorous? Is there a better way than this? Throw some food in, and these fish will rush to grab it like crazy."

Shi Guangming wiped the sea water off his face and reached the scoop net into the school of fish. In less than ten minutes, the basket he brought over was filled with nearly 20 kilograms of croaker.

Shi Guangming did not continue to fish as he could not eat all of them. He did not plan to keep the fish in the fish racks and feed them anything, so it would be useless to fish too much.

Ma Baozhu came over, carrying a basket of fish and walked towards the kitchen of the fish farm. The bighead carp were cleaned out of their stomachs and fried in a frying pan. They were very delicious. It was getting late, so it was better to eat something before going to bed and feeling warm. The others on the fish farm who had to keep an eye on the fish farm until dawn had to eat something, otherwise they would not be able to hold out through the long night. Twenty kilograms of bighead carp were enough for all the people on the fish farm.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming walked back to the small platform of the fish farm, pulled a stool and sat down, lit their water pipes and smoked one puff after another.

Zhao Shi didn't pay much attention at first, but after a while he noticed that Shi Guangming had been frowning and not speaking. He took a look and knew that he must be thinking about something and was worried about something. "What's up?"

"It's just that barramundi, isn't it? What made you think of it?"

While smoking, Zhao Shi asked Shi Guangming what he was thinking about.

"Old man Zhao."

"There is something we need to pay attention to."

Shi Guangming pointed to the northeast corner of the fish pond where the croaker was caught.

"Is there something wrong with that place? Did you see a hole in the fish steak? If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhao Shi was a little confused and didn't know what this was trying to say.

"The place where we fish is located has very deep water and tidal currents."

"Normally, if there was no fish farm here, there wouldn't be any fish gathering here, after all, the seabed is quite empty and there aren't any reefs or anything like that. But now that we've built a fish farm here, it won't take long for fish to gather under or around it. Where there's running water, there will definitely be schools of small fish gathering there at night."

"The sea bass or grouper in the fish paddock will definitely not be able to escape, but the big fish in other places will definitely know that the small fish gathered in this place will definitely gather around."

Shi Guangming pondered and slowly began to express his thoughts.

"what?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhao Shi was even more confused. Shi Guangming was right. Once the fish farm had been built for a while, the big fish from other places would definitely hide here. Another reason was that there were small schools of fish, plus the water flow, so the big fish would gather here at night. This was normal, nothing could be more normal, nothing strange.

"Old man Zhao."

"I'm telling you, is there something wrong with your brain? I've talked to you all this time, and you still don't understand what the problem is?"

"The fish farm has only been built a few days ago, so there aren't many fish gathering here. But after a few months, or even a year or so, there will definitely be a lot of fish around our fish farm."

"There will definitely be fish in these flowing waters. At that time, there may be dozens of speedboats fishing around our fish farms. What do you think will happen?"

Shi Guangming talked a lot, saying that he had never thought about this before, but when he was catching the croaker just now, this idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Zhao Shi was a little dumbfounded. He really hadn't thought of this happening, but he had to admit that something like this was bound to happen.

"What good solutions do we have?"

Zhao Shi frowned and thought carefully for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any good solution. Any fish farm might encounter such a thing. It was true that the fish farm belonged to Zhao Dahai and his people, but the rest of the sea around the fish farm was not theirs. At most, fishing was prohibited within a radius of seven or eight meters from the center of the fish farm. Sometimes, fishing was only prohibited within a radius of three or five meters. There was no way to stop others from fishing in places farther away.

"There is definitely no perfect solution to this problem, but it does not mean there is no solution at all."

Shi Guangming knew that as long as there were fish farms, there would be people coming to fish nearby. As long as it did not affect the fish farms, he and Zhao Dahai and others really had nothing to say.

"What exactly do you want to do? What good idea have you come up with? Tell us quickly. We have to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to think about this matter when a fishing speedboat appears here in a while."

Zhao Shi was a little anxious. Seeing Shi Guangming keeping him in suspense, he immediately puffed out his beard and glared.

"Didn't we rent another piece of sea? It's near this piece of sea, not too far away. When we rented the other piece of sea, we had already made it clear to the people in the village that our two fish farms could be connected."

"It's just that this connected area cannot be used to raise fish. If you want to raise fish, you have to pay according to the area and pay it to the village."

Shi Guangming was referring to another piece of sea surface that had been captured not far away. That place was larger than the current fish farm. There were two areas of about 400 square meters, with a distance of about seven or eight meters between them. Once connected, they could form a large fish farm.

"Correct!"

"That's true, but what does it have to do with what you just said?"

Zhao Shi nodded.

"Why is it not a problem? Ding Xiaoxiang and none of us have thought of building fishing boats now. We want to build them when we need them."

"Have you noticed that the current appears in the northeast corner almost every night? In other words, the small current tide in our fish farm is roughly located here."

"Once we see the fish row on the opposite side, if the two fish rows are connected, we can block the entire flow of water."

"Even if other speedboats come here, they can't catch fish in the flowing water. In other words, they can't catch many fish."

"If you don't catch a lot of fish, there won't be a lot of speedboats coming here, or almost no speedboats at all."

"If we don't close the fish farm now, and someone discovers that there are fish to be caught here and that a lot of fish can be caught, more and more speedboats will come. At that time, it will definitely not be easy for us to connect the two fish farms, and they may even not agree to let us connect them."

"Those fishermen will definitely not be happy! If there are a lot of problems among these fishermen, it will be even more difficult to deal with the people in Shijiao Village."

"Another reason is that the people in the village must have too many ideas. Even if they really connect the two, they will have to pay extra money."

Shi Guangming spoke one sentence after another, quickly expressing all his thoughts.

Zhao Shi nodded continuously as he listened. This was the case. Once someone discovered that there were fish to be caught here, and big fish to be caught, more and more speedboats would gather in this place. At that time, it would be very troublesome to connect the two fish rafts.

"You mean to say that now, while no one else has noticed and doesn't know about the situation in this place, we should hurry up and fry the fish fillet, and connect the two fish fillets together?"

When Zhao Shi heard this, he already knew what Shi Guangming was planning to do.

"Correct!"

"We must tell Ding Xiaoxiang now that we must hurry up and build this fish farm, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future."

"If you don't have money, then there's nothing you can do but wait to build the fish farm later. But Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai have enough money. Even though the fish farm is not of much use now, it's more cost-effective to leave it empty than to have to deal with the trouble of having to build it later."

Shi Guangming nodded and shared this idea. He felt that he had to tell Ding Xiaoxiang to hurry up and go to another fish farm and connect the two fish farms. The place where the two fish farms were connected could be used to build a platform to cover the entire flowing water. In this way, not only would others be unable to catch fish and avoid future troubles, but those of him on the fish farm would be able to fish if they wanted to, killing two birds with one stone.
