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

Chapter 1161 Liu Lei thinks it’s simple
"Row!"

"You should discuss this matter with Xu Dongxue, Luo Lan and the others."

"If you want to take a fancy place, you must first ask Ding Xiaoxiang for her opinion. If she thinks it's okay, then it can definitely be taken down."

"If Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and I are out fishing, you don't have to wait for us to come back before making a decision!"

Lei Da nodded.

This matter is very simple. As long as Ding Xiaoxiang thinks the place is good, she can buy it.

"what!"

"Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and I don't have such vision!"

"It's no use waiting until we get back to make a decision. Sometimes the daylilies are already cold!"

Lei Dayou really knows his abilities very well.

"Row!"

"It's settled now!"

Ma Hongyu nodded. If she had decided on a shop or something else, it was much more important to ask Ding Xiaoxiang's opinion than to ask Lei Dayou and others for their opinions.

Three o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhao Shi, a total of five people, walked onto the dock, rested for two days, and prepared to go to Shijiao Village Dock to continue fishing.

Zhao Dahai looked carefully at the waves on the sea and found that they were obviously smaller than yesterday, and much smaller.

"Second Grandpa."

"Would you like to rest at home for two more days?"

"Shi Guangming and Grandpa Shi are both there, and with Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu, there's no need for you to keep an eye on them!"

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Shi, who was smoking a hookah beside him.

"What's the point of staying at home?"

Zhao Shi shook his head. Staying at home was really boring. Zhao Dahai and the others had gone out to sea to fish. It would be better for him to stay on the fish farm. He would look at the fish in the farm every day, or argue with Shi Guangming or something. Time passed quickly.

Zhao Dahai nodded.

It's really boring to stay at Zhao Shi's house. I don't know what to do every day. It's quite lively at the fish farm with many people.

"correct!"

"Second Grandpa."

"Didn't my grandma and second grandma say that they wanted to go to the dock to look at the shops and fish farms? If we really go there, we might as well clean up a room and live on the fish farm for a few days!"

Zhao Dahai recalled what he had said two days ago.

"Row!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter!"

"I'll arrange it!"

Zhao Shi nodded and agreed.

Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi boarded the largest speedboat they usually used. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin and Lei Dayou boarded another speedboat. The man watched the two speedboats head straight for the dock of Shijiao Village.

When Zhao Dahai, Zhao Shi and others arrived at the Shijiao Village Pier, they immediately turned a corner and saw a good spot next to the fish farm.

Shi Guangming had already seen the speedboat of Zhao Dahai and his men, and was already waiting on the platform of the fish farm.

"Yo!"

"Are the two fish fillets already connected?"

Zhao Dahai parked the speedboat and came up. He immediately saw that the two fish farms that were separated two days ago were now connected.

"Correct!"

"The wind and waves were a little stronger the day you came back, but by the next day, the wind and waves here were not that strong."

"It can be done!"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he proudly called out to Zhao Shi, Zhao Dahai and others to follow him to the platform connecting the two fish farms.

Zhao Dahai saw at a glance a small lifting pulley on the platform.

"Yo!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"You are really quick. Have you already put down the fishing net?"

Zhao Dahai knew at a glance that this must be the pulley used to pull up and lower the long net cage.

"Correct!"

"How can I waste time? I put the fish fillets down as soon as they were ready!"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he reached out and pulled the pulley. In less than five minutes, the tail of the net cage was pulled out of the water.

"No way?"

"Is it so extra? I have two or three hundred kilograms!"

……

"How long have you been releasing the fish? It must have taken almost a day to get this many fish, right?"

……

"Most of them are small fish, but these sea bass are very good-sized, weighing more than ten pounds!"

"Seven or eight black sea bream and yellowfin bream!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very surprised when they saw the fish in the fishnet that was pulled up. As they talked, they brought a large basket and poured all the fish out.

"I've already collected five or six trips!"

"This trip into the sea will only take less than two hours or three hours!"

"There are almost two to three hundred kilograms of fish in every trip!"

Shi Guangming became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Old man Shi."

"You are kidding, right? How can there be so many fish?"

Zhao Shi was very surprised.

If there are five or six trips and each time you catch two or three hundred kilograms of fish, doesn't that mean you've caught about a thousand kilograms of fish in one go?
There aren't many big fish like this, but no matter what, this is a fish that can be caught easily, and it doesn't take much effort to put a net here on the fish farm to catch it.

"Why did I lie to you about this?"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he pointed to a fish cage on the fish farm next to him.

"See? All the fish caught in this net are placed in here!"

“Everything big and small is here!”

"Old Zhao, you've been fishing all your life. Can't you tell how many fish there are?"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he shouted to Shi Zhu and Liu Bin to pour all the fish they had just caught into the net cage.

Zhao Shi took a careful look and found that indeed, there were a lot of fish in the net cage, both big and small. There were not many big ones, but there were groups of small ones. If all were added together, it would definitely weigh more than a thousand kilograms.

"If we can collect so many fish, we can make a lot of money here in a year. Isn't this just free money?"

Zhao Shizhen didn't expect there would be so many fish here.

"Second Grandpa!"

"How can there be so many fish every day? Today might be the first day. Another reason is that the tide is strong and there are more fish."

"If we put this dragon net here every day, there would be no way we could catch so many fish!" "On average, it would be good to catch 20 to 30 kilograms of fish a day!"

"Most of them are small fish. If you can catch two or three sea bass or black porgy or yellow porgy in a day, that's already a big deal!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.

Second Grandfather Zhao Shi really thought too simply. It was impossible for there to be so many fish in this place every day, and it was even more impossible to catch two or three hundred kilograms of fish every two or three hours.

"what!"

"Old man Zhao."

"What Zhao Dahai said is right. It's impossible to have so many fish every day!"

"But if you can weigh 20 to 30 kilograms or 30 to 50 kilograms a day, that's already pretty good!"

Shi Guangming knew that what Zhao Dahai said was right.

The nets have just been set up in this area so we are sure that we can catch a lot of fish, but as more and more are set up, coupled with the influence of tides and water flow, as well as the weather, it is really impossible to catch so many fish every day.

"Why should we care how much?"

"These are all free fish, right?"

"I don't have to worry about putting a net cage here every day to eat fish!"

As Liu Bin spoke, he reached out and grabbed the fish in the basket.

The sea bass was picked up and thrown into the Guanglong nearby.

Seven or eight very fat black and yellow breams flowed out, and we also picked up two or three kilograms of fairly large mullets.

All the remaining fish were poured into the net cage at once.

The mesh of the fishing cage is very small.

Even small fish as small as the tip of a chopstick can’t escape.

Small fish will definitely become food for larger fish such as sea bass, black bream and yellow bream.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Didn't we say that we won't keep the fish we caught? Aren't we going to feed them? What are we doing with so many small fish here?"

Lei Dayou looked at the groups of small fish swimming around in the net. These were all caught in the net cages, but there were not many big fish in the cages, so they were not eaten up.

Lei Dayou took a look at the other fish cages nearby. They were all fish that he and Zhao Dahai had caught. There were sea bass, black porgy, yellow porgy, and the very valuable grouper. These small fish were the best food, but Zhao Dahai had already said that he would not do such a thing.

“All the fish in this cage are not for sale.”

"Xiao Xiang said that we should keep these fish for ourselves."

"I'll pick some fish and put them in this net cage."

"You can eat it by yourself during normal times, or you can share it with everyone during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Dahai smiled and told Lei Dayou that the fish in this cage were different from the fish in other cages, that the fish in this cage were raised like this, with the big fish eating the small fish, and by the end of the year, they would be very fat and very delicious.

The fish in other fish fillets are sold to other people to eat. If others don’t like to raise them, then don’t raise them. But the fish in the fish fillet in front of you are for your own consumption, so you must raise them, and they must be fat and oily to taste good.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou heard about this plan, they immediately knew that they would have really delicious fish again during the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Dahai heard the sound of the engine and looked up. He saw a speedboat approaching quickly and approaching the fish farm in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Dahai saw Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Lei and Yang Qin on the speedboat walking over quickly.

"Brother Dahai!"

As soon as Liu Lei saw Zhao Dahai, he greeted him immediately.

"Isn't the restaurant busy at this time? What are you doing here?"

"Xiaoxiang told me that your restaurant's business has been booming recently!"

Zhao Dahai learned from Ding Xiaoxiang two days ago that the business of Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant was getting better and better, and it was becoming more and more prosperous. The business at night had to be carried out until the early morning.

"what!"

"The restaurant's business is really good!"

"It should be full of people by now!"

"My dad is taking care of the business. I heard from Sister Xiaoxiang that you should come back and rest for two days."

"I thought you were going out to sea to fish today or tomorrow, so I just came over here to take a look!"

Liu Lei wiped the sea water off his face.

The restaurant business has been very good recently and I was very busy, but when I heard that Zhao Dahai was back, I hurried over to take a look.

Ding Xiaoxiang called Yang Qin and walked forward to check the fish on the fish farm. Only Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei were left.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Dahai was a little strange.

"what!"

"If there's really nothing to say, then I might have to take more fish from the fish farm every day!"

"Business is so good that we buy a lot of fish every day."

"The other thing is that the other fish and shrimps that my restaurant collected may have to be placed here for a while."

Liu Lei came here today to meet Zhao Dahai. He didn't need to tell Zhao Dahai about the matter he just mentioned. He only needed to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang. Not to mention that he had his own shares in the fish steaks here. Although the shares were not many, they were there.

"Oh?"

"Are you thinking of collecting some shrimp and crabs before the fishing season ends and keeping them in the fish farm?"

As soon as Zhao Dahai heard what Liu Lei said, he knew what was going on.

"Correct!"

"The fishing moratorium is coming soon. There are very few fishing boats going out to sea. Those fishing boats that use nets to catch fish cannot go out to sea."

“It’s okay if the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs go up!”

"The price will go up as much as I want when I sell it in my restaurant."

"I will definitely make more money, but the amount is too small. Business in the restaurant is so good right now. I am really worried that there will be nothing to sell. This will have a huge impact."

"I don't worry about grouper, sea bass, and black porgy."

"Brother Dahai, you can catch fish every day when you go out to sea, so it must be enough."

"Other fish, especially shrimps, crabs and shellfish, are really a headache."

"I discussed it with my dad these past two days and we decided to buy some fish in advance and keep them on the fish farm so they can be used during the fishing season."

Liu Lei has been discussing this matter with Liu Gang these two days. The only way is to make some preparations in advance. In previous years, the restaurant would not have such a large space to raise so many fish, shrimps and crabs. Now it is different. With fish farms, a lot of fish can be raised.

"Liu Lei."

"There's plenty of room here to raise as many fish as you want!"

"But raising a lot of fish here would be very risky."

"You have to think about this carefully."

"Don't think that just because the fish I caught or the fish from the sea fishing boats are alive and well here, the fish you caught from other places will definitely be alive and well."

Zhao Dahai reminded Liu Lei that he must pay attention to this matter.

"what?"

"Brother Dahai!"

"Is there any other trick here?"

Liu Lei was shocked. He really thought that the fish that Zhao Dahaigang brought back could be kept alive. The fish he collected from other people who went out to sea to fish could also be kept alive here. However, what Zhao Dahai said now was clearly not the case.
