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

Chapter 1171 Fish Fillet Days

Ding Xiaoxiang finished breakfast with Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao. They sat for a while and then took the speedboat to leave the fish farm because something happened.

"Xiaoxiang really has too many things to do."

Huang Jintao watched Ding Xiaoxiang hurriedly leave in the speedboat and touched her face. Although Xiaoxiang was right just now and that making money was the most important thing for Zhao Dahai to go out to sea, she felt a little heartbroken when she thought of the many things that Ding Xiaoxiang had to keep an eye on.

"What can be done about this?"

"Forget about these things, let's just stay on this fish rack for a few more days."

Zhong Cuihua sighed softly. She and Huang Jintao had similar ideas. They had no say in this matter, not to mention that what Ding Xiaoxiang said made sense.

nine in the morning.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng walked out of the room yawning, stretched several times, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I slept so well last night!"

"I haven't slept so comfortably in more than two months."

Wu Weimin was not joking. He slept till this moment last night. He really had not slept well in the past one or two months in the city.

"what!"

"Wu Weimin."

"I think you might as well change your career."

"Stop doing business and go fishing or catching fish all day. Wouldn't you sleep very comfortably that way?"

Gao Zhicheng made a joke.

"Pooh!"

"This is a bad idea you came up with."

"If I had Zhao Dahai's ability, I wouldn't need to do business. I would definitely go fishing every day."

"wrong!"

"I don't need to be as capable as Zhao Dahai. If I only had one tenth of Zhao Dahai's ability, I would not do business and go fishing every day."

Wu Weimin was not joking. If he only had one tenth of Zhao Dahai's ability, he wouldn't need to do anything else. He could just go fishing every day and catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money.

Gao Zhicheng may not know how much money Zhao Dahai can make from fishing, but he buys fish from Zhao Dahai every day. He knows exactly how many fish Zhao Dahai catches, which is really amazing.

"Boss Wu."

"That's not necessarily the case."

"You go fishing for fun now, and it's fun, but if you go fishing to make money, and you have to go out to sea every day and fish for more than ten or twenty hours every day, I guess you really can't do it."

Shi Guangming smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Dahai did make a lot of money fishing. Wu Weimin's private restaurant was doing very well, and even Liu Lei and Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant were doing very well. They could make a lot of money, but none of them could compare to Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai certainly had no problem making money, but it was impossible for others to fish like Zhao Dahai for more than ten hours for many years.

"Correct!"

"That's true."

"Zhao Dahai did catch a lot of fish, but this kind of work is not something that everyone can do."

"We followed Zhao Dahai to fish at every beach. We knew there were fish in the sea and we knew we could catch them as long as we cast enough water. But we could only watch from the side."

Wu Weimin couldn't help but nodded.

The reason why Zhao Dahai caught so many fish and made so much money must be related to his ability to find out where the fish are and how to catch them, but another very important factor is that Zhao Dahai can fish continuously for a long time.

Without this kind of physical strength and this kind of body, you can't do this kind of work and you can't earn this kind of money.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are now going fishing with Zhao Dahai and can make a lot of money. Many people think that as long as they have such an opportunity, they can make a lot of money by going fishing with Zhao Dahai. But in fact, even if there is such an opportunity, few people can be like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

A sea bass weighing 20 to 30 kilograms is extremely powerful when it is hooked in the sea. Most people are lucky if they can catch five or six in a row, and they have to gasp for breath. However, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou can fish for two to three hours, or even five or six hours.

Wu Weimin had witnessed such scenes many times on the speedboat. To be honest, he was 100% unable to do it, and there were definitely not many people who could do it.

"Boss Gao."

"When did you and Boss Wu go fishing? Did you wait for Ding Dawen's fishing boat to come back or did you find a speedboat to go out to sea?"

Shi Guangming asked Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin when they would go out to sea to find Zhao Dahai to fish.

"How about finding a speedboat and going out to sea in the afternoon?"

Gao Zhicheng thought about it and realized that he and Wu Weimin came here to go out to sea to find Zhao Dahai for fishing. The fish farm here is very comfortable, but they still wanted to go out to sea to fish, so they might as well go out to sea earlier.

"Row!"

"no problem."

"We'll go back to the dock and find a speedboat. We'll have a meal and fill our stomachs before heading out to sea. Have you prepared all the fishing rods and other things you need for fishing?"

Shi Guangming hasn't been out to sea for a while and now he is a little impatient.

"It must have been prepared a long time ago. We can leave at any time."

Gao Zhicheng nodded and pointed to two large boxes that came along with the speedboat when they came here yesterday. They were filled with fishing rods and other things that he and Wu Weimin needed.

One p.m.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, the light reflected on the sea was a bit dazzling, and the temperature was very high.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao were sitting on the platform of the fish raft. It was a little hot when the sea breeze blew over, but they had already gotten used to this kind of weather and felt very comfortable instead.

"Second Grandma!"

"Is fishing really that fun? I see Boss Wu and his men seem to be in a hurry to go out to sea."

As Ding Ailian was talking, she took a shrimp and put it on the hook, and threw it into the sea. The other end of the line was put into Zhong Cuihua's hand.

Shi Guangming, Zhao Shi, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others had already driven a speedboat out to sea to look for Ding Dawen's fishing boat ten minutes ago.

Ding Ailian immediately picked up another shrimp and hung it on the hook tied with a line in Huang Jintao's hand.

"We can't say for sure about this."

"Fishing has always been a way to make money in our fishing village, not just for fun."

"Boss Wu and Boss Gao must think it's fun. Otherwise, why would they give up their profitable jobs to go fishing?"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head, she really didn't know about this.

"Yo!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Isn't there a fish taking the bait?"

Huang Jintao shouted.

"Yes!" "A fish has taken the bait. It's just a small fish, there's no need to worry about it. If it runs away, it runs away. We have so many big fish here, we can't just catch them and eat them."

Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded, and started pulling the line. After a while, a sea bass weighing about one kilogram was pulled out of the water.

"Why is it so small?"

"It's almost not as valuable as our shrimp."

Ding Ailian was very disappointed. She picked up the net, removed the hook, and threw it into the net cage where the fish were raised for her to eat.

"You've seen a lot of big fish, girl."

"A sea bass weighing more than a pound can be sold for a lot of money. No matter what, it's impossible that it can't even sell for the price of a shrimp."

"There are actually quite a lot of fish here. We've already caught five or six in about an hour!"

Huang Jintao smiled when she saw Ding Ailian looking down on the sea bass weighing about one kilogram. Sea bass are not rare. When the season comes, small ones can be found everywhere on the seaside. Those weighing two or three taels really cannot be sold at a high price and no one wants them. However, sea bass weighing over one kilogram can be sold in the fish market, and the price is not too low. If a fisherman can catch ten or eight kilograms a day, he can make a lot of money.

"Who said it wasn't?"

"There are so many big fish here in our fish farm. Not to mention the groupers that weigh dozens or even a hundred kilograms, there are also small sea bass weighing 10, 20 or 30 kilograms. They are everywhere."

"How can you value this 1.8 pound sea bass?"

Ding Ailian smiled and nodded. It was true. There were too many big fish in the fish farm. I often saw sea bass weighing 10 or 8 kilograms or even 20 or 30 kilograms. I really looked down on this size and thought it was too small. But other people who went out to sea to fish would definitely keep it and sell it at the dock or market if they could catch such a big sea bass. I looked down on this size of sea bass, but others would definitely not look down on it.

Ding Ailian looked at the fish cages nearby where groups of large sea bass weighing more than ten to thirty kilograms were swimming and wondered whether she should use a fishing rod to try to catch some.

"What are you doing? I have to tell you, don't fish for these sea bass!"

"It's not that I can't catch them. These sea bass are not starving. No matter what you throw in, they will definitely bite the hook. But do you think you can pull up such a big fish? Don't let the fish pull you into the sea."

Ma Baozhu walked over and as soon as she saw the look in Ding Ailian's eyes she knew what she wanted to do, and immediately reminded her not to do it.

The pulling force of a sea bass weighing more than ten kilograms is already very strong, not to mention one weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. Even for a strong man, it would be a bit difficult to fish it. Ding Ailian and I really don't have that much strength.

If the fish that takes the bait is a sea bass weighing about 30 kilograms, that would be terrible.

Ding Ailian really wanted to try catching one, but after hearing what Ma Baozhu said, she thought about it for a while and realized that this was really possible.

"Caught a fish!"

Huang Jintao pulled the line in her hand out. A fish took the bait and she pulled hard but couldn't pull it back.

"Ding Ailian!"

"Help me quickly! This fish is quite big, maybe it weighs five or six pounds!"

Huang Jintao called out to Ding Ailian.

Ding Ailian took over immediately.

Neither Huang Jintao nor Zhong Cuihua were used to fishing with fishing rods, so they all used hand fishing lines.

After Ding Ailian pulled it once, she felt it was a bit difficult. One reason was that the fish on the hook was quite big, swimming around in the sea and was very strong. The other reason was that the fishing line was a bit painful.

"Sister Baozhu!"

"Hurry up and help!"

Ding Ailian immediately called Ma Baozhu for help.

Ma Baozhu put on gloves and came over to help. It took the two of them almost ten minutes to pull up the hooked fish.

"did you see that?"

"This fish is only five or six pounds! Fish of seven or eight pounds are not big. It took both of us so much effort to catch it."

"Think about it, if it was more than ten pounds, it would be incredible!"

"Not to mention those who are 20 or 30 kilograms!"

"It's really not certain that the two of us can catch it!"

Ma Baozhu shook his hands, feeling really tired.

"Brother Dahai and the others are really amazing, aren't they?"

"I fish for more than ten hours a day, and I catch all these big fish. My hands must be cramped from fishing, right?"

“I don’t know how they caught so many fish!”

Ding Ailian was very surprised.

It felt a bit too much for Ma Baozhu and I to always catch the same fish.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and other three people sometimes caught several thousand kilograms of fish.

On average, a person has to catch several thousand kilograms of fish a day.

If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to fish it out even if my hands broke.

"Why is it that fishing is not something that everyone can do?"

"Without a healthy body, it really won't work!"

Zhong Cuihua smiled.

Fishing, especially fishing for big fish, definitely requires strength. This is actually why most of the people on fishing boats, whether fishing or not, are men.

"Women in fishing villages who can go out to sea to fish don't earn much, and even fewer women can go out to sea to fish with the men in their families."

"If you see anyone who can help the men in their families go fishing, they are all powerful people."

Huang Jintao took a look at the fish that had just been caught in the scoop net.

"Second Grandma!"

"Should we steam this fish or cook it into soup?"

Ding Ailian looked at the fish in the scoop net, wondering how to eat them.

"The meat of a sea bass this size is more tender when steamed. If it's too big, it won't taste good!"

Ma Baozhu thought about it and felt that it would be better to steam the fish.

"Row!"

"Steamed means steamed! I think this fish is really good!"

Huang Jintao thinks steaming is good.

Ding Ailian found a net, turned the fish around, tightened the opening, and threw it into the net cage next to her, waiting to steam it for dinner later.

Zhong Cuihua, Huang Jintao, Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu stayed by the fish raft, fishing and talking. Xiao Naihei lay beside them, and the two puppies ran around the fish raft, making it very lively.
