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

Chapter 1172 No big fish recently!
The sun is westward.

Ding Dawen walked into the cab, picked up the water cup, took a few gulps of water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just took a look at the fish in the live water tank. Zhao Dahai had caught a lot of fish in the past few days. It seemed that he would be able to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and put all the fish on the fishing boat into the fish rack.

"Whose is this? Why did it come at this time?"

Ding Dawen saw a speedboat in the distance, speeding towards the fishing boat. There were often fishing boats or speedboats passing by the place where the fishing boat was parked, and they would not drive directly towards the fishing boat. This one must be coming here for the fishing boat.

Ding Dawen took a closer look, but couldn't see clearly due to the backlight, so he simply walked onto the deck. After a while, the speedboat slowly approached the fishing boat. The two people on it were Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng. What he didn't expect was that Zhao Dahai's second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Jiehua's father Shi Guangming came together and immediately lowered the ladder.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Zhao!"

"Boss Wu, Boss Gao. Are you two here to fish again?"

Ding Dawen helped carry the things onto the deck of the fishing boat.

Gao Zhicheng is a professional fisherman, and Wu Weimin loves fishing very much. The two of them came here, both carrying large boxes filled with fishing rods, so they must be here for fishing.

"Ding Dawen."

"What on earth do you mean by that?"

"The last time I went fishing with Zhao Dahai was two or three months ago. Isn't it normal for us to come here to fish now?"

Wu Weimin laughed. Ding Dawen just felt that he had caught too many fish here.

"Boss Wu."

"You are a businessman."

"You spend a lot more time fishing than you do business."

"Another thing is that other people usually only fish for two or three days, but you fish for a month."

Ding Dawen said this as he carried things for Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng.

"Correct!"

"How can Wu Weimin be like this? He should focus on doing business and making money. He definitely can't go fishing every day. Isn't that not doing his job properly?"

Gao Zhicheng nodded continuously as he spoke, criticizing Wu Weimin for going out to sea to fish all day, especially not going out to sea to fish for a month.

"Gao Zhicheng."

"That's not what you said when you were at the fish farm. You said that if you want to make so much money, you have to do what you like. If you want to fish, you can fish. If you want to do anything, you can do it."

"Now that you're here on the fishing boat, why do you change your tune?"

Wu Weimin looked at Gao Zhicheng with great contempt.

"what!"

"You are just talking nonsense. At that time, I wanted you to go fishing with me. There were more people around, so I must have said that. But now we are here at the fishing boat, and I don't need to worry about you going back, so I must say the opposite."

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he turned around and walked towards the boat with his suitcase. He had to put his things in place.

Wu Weimin shook his head and followed Gao Zhicheng with the box in his hand. They were already on the fishing boat, and Zhao Dahai had already gone out to sea to fish. He and Gao Zhicheng first found a place to put their things and rest, waiting for Zhao Dahai to come back.

Ding Dawen, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming walked into the cab together.

Ding Dawen poured two glasses of water and handed them to Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

"How's Zhao Dahai's fishing these days?"

Zhao Shi took two sips of water, put the cup on the table next to him, lit his hookah and took two puffs, then immediately asked Zhao Dahai how his fishing had been these past few days.

"The fishing was pretty good, and the fish are almost full. I'm thinking of going back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

“Generally, I’ll fish for two days for sea bass and black bream, and then I’ll fish for one day for grouper.”

Ding Dawen explained in detail that most of the fish Zhao Dahai caught in recent days were sea bass and black porgy, but he also did very well in catching grouper, and there were also yellow chickens weighing several hundred kilograms.

"Why is it like this? Why don't you go fishing for grouper more often? Isn't grouper easier to make money on? It's more expensive?"

Shi Guangming has been staying on the fish farm recently instead of on Ding Dawen's fishing boat. For a moment, he didn't quite understand why Zhao Dahai did this.

"Recently, whether it's the artificial islands or the windmill fishing spot, you can catch grouper, but the number of grouper is not too large. Sometimes you spend a whole day fishing and only catch about 1,000 kilograms of grouper."

"Plus, considering that the fishing season will start in about ten days."

"Why not catch more sea bass and black bream?"

Ding Dawen told Shi Guangming that grouper was not easy to catch recently, but sea bass and black porgy were very easy to catch. Zhao Dahai and his friends could often catch several thousand kilograms of fish in a day, so they could just focus their time and energy on fishing sea bass and black porgy, which would make them more money.

Zhao Shi frowned.

Sea bass and black porgy can be sold at a very good price during the fishing moratorium, so you can definitely make money, but the key point is that no matter what, sea bass and black porgy are not valuable fish. The truly valuable fish is definitely grouper.

If grouper is not easy to catch, it will really affect the money you can earn from fishing.

"Did Zhao Dahai say why it was like this?"

"It's understandable that the grouper at Windmill Foot is not easy to catch. It's probably because there aren't many fish. But shouldn't there be fish at this artificial island?"

Zhao Shi was very worried and immediately asked what was going on.

"Second Grandpa."

"I really don't know what's going on here. Wait until Zhao Dahai comes back and then ask him yourself."

Ding Dawen shook his head.

Zhao Dahai goes out early and comes back late to fish. He just eats and sleeps when he comes back every day. He is exhausted every day and doesn't talk much to me. I only know that it has been difficult to catch grouper in recent days, but I don't know the specific reason.

"Row!"

"Wait for Zhao Dahai to come back and ask him what's going on."

Zhao Shi took a deep puff of the water pipe. Ding Dawen didn't know how to fish, so it was normal for him not to know this.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng packed up their things and walked into the cab. They immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. They looked at Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming and Ding Dawen and saw that their expressions were solemn and there was no sign of smiles.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Wu Weimin was very surprised.

"Boss Wu."

"Boss Gao."

"You two may not catch many fish this time you come here to fish."

Zhao Shi repeated what Ding Dawen had just said.

"No way? Why would something like this happen?"

Gao Zhicheng was very confused and didn't know what was going on. The weather had been very good recently, so it should have been easy to catch grouper, but now it turned out to be the opposite. "It's hard to explain this. We have to wait for Zhao Dahai to come back and ask him what's going on."

Shi Guangming, like Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin, now wants to know what is going on, but this can only be solved after Zhao Dahai returns.

"When did Zhao Dahai go fishing?"

"Did it come out at four or five in the morning?"

Shi Guangming asked Zhao Dahai when he went out to sea to fish today.

"Correct!"

"We went out to sea at four or five in the morning."

Ding Dawen nodded.

"Hey!"

"Is that the one that belongs to Zhao Dahai?"

Gao Zhicheng pointed to the northeast direction and saw a speedboat coming towards him quickly.

"Correct!"

"That's Zhao Dahai's speedboat."

Ding Dawen saw it from a distance, but he didn't know how many times he had seen it. He recognized it at once. It was definitely Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi both frowned at the same time.

Zhao Dahai went out to sea to fish at four or five in the morning.

It was almost dark, so it was not strange for him to come back at this time. However, under normal circumstances, if Zhao Dahai caught fish, and caught a lot of fish, he would not come back at this time. Normally, he should come back at around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, or even ten o'clock.

If Zhao Dahai came back at this time, it is very likely that the catch today would not be very good, or most of the fish he caught would be sea bass and black porgy, and the grouper would not be very good.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming immediately turned around and walked out of the cab, with Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng following behind.

"How was the fishing?"

Zhao Dahai looked up and was a little surprised. Standing next to the fishing boat was not Ding Dawen but Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi!"

Zhao Dahai parked the speedboat while greeting Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

Zhao Dahai climbed up the ladder and onto the fishing boat.

“The fish caught today were still sea bass and black porgy.”

"The grouper isn't that big, only about two or three hundred kilograms."

Zhao Dahai talked about the fish he caught today. There were quite a few black porgy and sea bass, about three thousand gold, but he didn't catch many valuable groupers.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What's going on?"

"Ding Dawen said that this has been the case in recent days!"

"What if there are no fish in the sea or the fish won't bite? Or maybe there's no way to catch these fish?"

When Zhao Shi heard what Zhao Dahai said, he knew that the situation would be the same again today. He made a lot of money by catching fish, but he didn't catch many valuable groupers. This was not a good thing.

"It's hard to say what the situation is like, but what is certain is that there are no fish in the sea."

“We have tried various methods, but the results are not very good.”

"It is very likely that there are fish, but they won't bite."

Zhao Dahai has been thinking about why this happened these days. The number of speedboats in the artificial islands and reefs is not as many as before, but not many fish can be caught. It is impossible for a place like artificial islands and reefs to have no fish. If there is no fish, it means that the fish are not biting.

"No way? Is it really like this? Can't you really catch that many fish?"

Wu Weimin was really a little worried this time.

I was a little hesitant about what Ding Dawen and Zhao Shishi Guangming said just now, but now Zhao Dahai said it himself, and this situation has been going on for several days, so there is definitely something 100% wrong. There must be a problem. Gao Zhicheng and I came here to fish and we want to catch big fish. If we can't catch the big grouper on the artificial islands and reefs, then Gao Zhicheng and I will have come here in vain.

"It's really hard to catch big fish during this period, but sea bass and black porgy are very easy to catch. I can easily catch three to five thousand kilograms every day!"

Zhao Dahai knew that Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng definitely did not come here for the sea bass and black bream, but they definitely wanted to catch big fish, but the situation these days was really not good.

"What can we do? Now that we are here, we can only see if we can catch any fish!"

Like Gao Zhicheng, he did not expect this kind of situation. He originally thought that as long as he followed Zhao Dahai's express delivery and went out to sea, he would be able to catch fish, and he would be able to catch big fish. But now it seems that it is not certain. In the past few days and ten days, Zhao Dahai has not caught many big fish, and it is even more impossible for him and Wu Weimin to catch big fish.

"Boss Gao. Boss Wu."

"If you want to catch big fish, the time these days is really tight!"

"One option is for you to stay here for a few more days to see if the fish in the sea are willing to bite. The other option is for you to go back and go fishing again in about a week."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he glanced at the sea bass and black porgy being hoisted up from the speedboat. He and Zhong Shizhu and the others went out to sea just to fish and make money. No matter whether the fish was big or small, black porgy, yellow porgy, sea bass or grouper, as long as they could catch them, they could make money and achieve their goal.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin went out to sea to catch big fish, but it has been very difficult to catch big fish in recent days.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin didn't even think about it. It was absolutely impossible for them to go back. They had to stay here. Since they couldn't catch any fish in the next few days, they would just wait a few more days. Anyway, it was impossible for two of them to go back after only fishing for three or five days.

"Row!"

"If you don't want to go back, then stay here for a few more days. I guess this may be affected by the weather or some other reason."

"You can't keep silent and not take the bait!"

"There is actually one advantage to this situation, which is that once the fish start to bite, they will bite like crazy. You can catch a lot of fish in a day, and there is a chance that you can catch a very large fish."

As soon as Zhao Dahai saw Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin's expressions, he knew that they would definitely not go back. They must be waiting here to see when the fish would start to bite.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Neither of us wanted to go back in the first place, and now that you've said that, it's even more impossible for us to go back!"

Wu Weimin's eyes lit up. As long as he could catch a big fish, he would be willing to wait not only three or five days, but even ten days, half a month, or even one or two months.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Gao Zhicheng had been fishing for many years and knew very well that what Zhao Dahai said was right. He was determined to fish here and wait here to see if he could wait for a big fish to bite.
