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

Chapter 1173 Fish Steak is Important
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their work, ate, took a shower, and went to bed immediately.

"Second Uncle Zhao."

"It looks like it's really hard to catch big fish here these days!"

Wu Weimin shook his head.

Even a fishing expert like Zhao Dahai couldn't catch many large groupers, so you can imagine how many fish the others could catch.

"Correct!"

"I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"I don't know what's going on with the fish in the sea these days!"

"correct!"

"Didn't the weather suddenly become very bad a while ago? Could it be that the weather has affected us until now?"

Gao Zhicheng remembered this incident.

"Yo!"

"Didn't you go fishing somewhere else? How do you know what the weather is like here?"

Wu Weimin smiled. The weather had really changed suddenly some time ago. Gao Zhicheng had gone somewhere else to fish, but he was still paying attention to the weather here.

"Is there any need to say this? We are all fishing at sea, so we must be concerned about the weather."

Gao Zhicheng smiled and nodded. Although he went to another place to fish, he was still paying attention to the weather here.

"what!"

"I see you can't catch fish anywhere else, so you have to worry about the weather here. You want to come back here to fish as soon as the weather gets better, right?"

Wu Weimin immediately guessed what Gao Zhicheng was thinking and then made an idea.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

Gao Zhicheng laughed out loud. This was indeed his idea. He couldn't catch any fish in other places. He could bear it at first, but as time went by, he really couldn't stand it anymore. He had been thinking about coming back here and going fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"I used to catch only a few big fish in a year. I was very patient no matter where I fished, and I thought it wouldn't make much difference. But now I catch a lot of fish when I go fishing with Zhao Dahai. I've gotten used to it. I can't stand not being able to catch fish in other places."

Gao Zhicheng really has this thought in his mind now.

It is typical that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The same is true for fishing.

"It's possible that the weather suddenly became very bad in the past few days."

"Zhao Dahai and the others went back to the dock and stayed there for a few days."

"We just went out to sea again a few days ago!"

"It seems that the impact is still there, and it will last a little longer."

"But fortunately, it only affected large fish like grouper, while sea bass and black porgy were not greatly affected."

Shi Guangming looked at the vast sea in front of him.

Whether it is fishing or catching fish, it really depends on God's will. There is really no other better way.

Zhao Dahai, such a great fishing expert, had no idea what to do when the fish in the sea refused to bite. He could only watch.

Fortunately, it is true and does not affect the location of the sea and the black porgy. In this way, people like Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu can make a lot of money.

"If this continues, the price of grouper will definitely go up again!"

Wu Weimin has a headache.

The prices of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea are constantly changing with the market.

If there are more fish, shrimps and crabs, the price will be lower, but once the number of fish, shrimps and crabs is relatively small, the price will rise rapidly.

The number of groupers caught by Zhao Dahai was relatively small, not to mention the others, whose catches were definitely as small as possible, and perhaps not even a few people could catch many.

Plus, the fishing moratorium is about to begin.

When fishermen like Zhao Dahai catch a grouper, they will hold it in their hands and keep it as long as it is still alive.

As a result, the amount of grouper on the market has become even smaller.

"Wu Weimin."

"What's there to worry about?"

"One is that no matter how few groupers there are in the market, you or Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant will have the same amount of groupers. Not to mention, there are fewer groupers in the market, and you still have some groupers on hand. People who want to eat them can only go to your private restaurant or Liu Bin and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant. This will make business better."

"What does it matter if the price goes up? If the purchase price goes up, won't the price you sell it at go up as well?"

Gao Zhicheng is not a businessman, but the logic here is very simple.

The giant grouper in the sea is very difficult to catch, which may be a big trouble for other people, but for Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant, it is really not a big trouble.

Many times this is actually a good thing, not a bad thing.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both smiled and nodded, saying that Gao Zhicheng was right.

"Zhao Dahai raised so many groupers in the fish paddock."

"No matter what, you, Liu Gang and Liu Lei and their grouper from Hongyun Restaurant will not be missing."

"You can rest assured about this matter."

"correct!"

"Seeing a fish shoal like this now is good for your business."

Gao Zhicheng slapped his forehead.

"Correct!"

"This is a great guarantee for me, Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant."

"For those of us who do business, especially those who do seafood business, the thing we fear most is having nothing to sell, and having nothing fresh to sell." "At the beginning, Zhao Dahai just went out to sea to fish by speedboat, and he had to sell all the fish he brought back every day."

"We buy these fish, but sometimes we can't sell them on the same day, so we have to keep them in the pond."

"But no matter what, what's kept in the pond is kept in the pond. There's no way to compare it with what's kept in the sea."

"The biggest problem is that no matter how hard we try, the pool can't be very large."

“You can’t keep too many fish.”

"When Zhao Dahai goes fishing, there is actually not much difference between him and other fishermen in Shanghai. Sometimes he can catch a lot of fish, and sometimes he catches fewer fish."

"When we catch a lot of fish, our restaurant or private restaurant can't sell so many fish. We have to bite the bullet and buy them, otherwise Zhao Dahai will sell them to other people, which has a big impact on us. Is this just cultivating a business competitor for me, Liu Gang and Liu Lei? But there is no other way. Zhao Dahai can't keep all the fish he catches, and he doesn't have enough space to raise them."

"After Zhao Dahai bought the fishing boat you're driving now, things have changed. If you catch a lot of fish, you might as well keep some of them in the boat."

"Once Zhao Dahai has built the fish farm, things will be even more different."

"With this fish farm, you can raise a lot of fish."

"One is that Liu Gang, Liu Lei and I don't need to have a big pond to raise fish at Hongyun Restaurant. We don't need to worry about Zhao Dahai catching a lot of fish and not being able to sell them. Zhao Dahai has no choice but to sell them to other people, and we have cultivated a business competitor."

"More importantly, with this fish rack, when we catch more fish, we can keep them on the fish rack, waiting for the day or period when we catch fewer fish. I can have enough fish just like Liu Wan and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, and we don't have to worry about restaurants or private restaurants not having enough fish to sell."

Wu Weiming is now very grateful that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang built such a large fish farm. He, Liu Kuan and Liu Lei don't need it for a year and are worried that there won't be enough fish to sell.

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei originally wanted to collect some other fish, shrimps and crabs to raise here in the fish farm."

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang both feel that the risk is a bit high."

"It's just that you can collect some crabs, or some shells like conch."

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei probably wouldn't take in too many other fish, shrimps, and crabs. They would only take in those that are easy to keep alive."

"Boss Wu."

"Do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas in this regard, you can actually prepare in advance now."

"It won't be long before the fishing moratorium comes."

Zhao Shi reminded Wu Weimin.

"Correct!"

"This matter must be prepared in advance."

"It's not that we didn't have this idea before, but there was no place to raise these things. Now it's different. Zhao Dahai has built such a large fish farm here."

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei and I have already discussed it."

"During this period, Liu Gang and Liu Lei will purchase some crabs or conchs and other seafood that can be raised."

"Keep it at the fish farm."

“Wait until the fishing moratorium to sell it.”

Wu Weimin nodded. He had just discussed this matter with Liu Lei two days ago. Next, they would purchase a large amount of seafood such as conchs, crabs, and oysters that could be used and kept for a long time. The fish fillet belonged to Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. Shi Guangming and Liu Lei had some shares, but not too many. He would talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this later. It would cost money to use the fish fillet, but it was a good thing for him. It couldn't be better. You know, during the fishing moratorium, the price of everything would increase, and the price increase would be very severe. The more important thing is not only the price increase, but also that you may not be able to buy it even if you have money. Now it's just paying some rent for the use of the fish fillet. No matter whether he or Liu Gang and Liu Lei are willing to do it, those other people can't do it even if they want to.

There are plenty of fish fillets in other places, but these fish fillets all contain farmed fish. It is impossible to temporarily take them out and feed them to restaurants or private restaurants like mine and Liu Lei to raise fish or snails for a month or two.

The fish farm built by Zhao Dahai only raises the fish he caught himself or the fish caught by sea fishing boats, and the area is very large, which makes this possible.

Wu Weiming and Gao Zhicheng talked for a while and then went back to the cabin to sleep.

"Old man Zhao."

"Hey!"

"To be honest, when I first started building this fish farm, I was a little worried that it was a waste, but now it looks really good. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang really have great vision."

Shi Guangming took two deep puffs of the water pipe. He really had this idea at the beginning, but now that the fish raft has been built for more than half a month, it can be seen how important it is. The large amount of money spent by Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai has been rewarded.

"Haven't we already talked about this?"

"If other people do this kind of thing, it would definitely be inappropriate and not cost-effective, but what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang do is very cost-effective."

"The fish caught by Zhao Dahai and the fish caught by the sea fishing boat can be placed here on the fish rack."

"If there are enough of them, this one is enough to make an entire fish farm worth building."

"Another use is that some of the crabs or snails collected by Liu Lei can be raised in the fish farm."

"Didn't Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai already say that they would collect some abalone and raise them in a place like a fish farm? This is another use."

"It won't take long for Ding Chongshan to buy fish and shrimp lines at the Shijiao Village Wharf."

"Can those live fish, shrimps, crabs and other different species be kept here at the fish farm for the time being? Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang can consider buying the fish caught by other people who go out to sea to fish. Can't sea bass and other fish be bought in the same way?"

"Only with such a large fish farm and a place to raise fish can we do these things. Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly."

Zhao Shi’s initial idea was somewhat similar to Shi Guangming’s, but now he can really see more and more how important a fish steak like this is.

Having said that, ordinary people certainly can't do this. Whether it's rent or building a fish farm, a large sum of money has to be paid at once.

Many times, many things are not that they can't make money, but if you don't have enough money, you just don't dare to do it. Zhao Dahai caught enough fish and had enough money, so Ding Xiaoxiang could carefully think about doing many things. In turn, these things can make more money.

"Correct!"

“These businesses can all make money.”

"With this fish steak, we can really plan well."

Shi Guangming carefully thought about what Zhao Shi had just said, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

"correct!"

"Old Zhao, didn't you ask before whether your two sons should come back? Now that things are getting more and more complicated, and we need to hire people from outside, we can't be too confident. I think no matter what, we have to wait until the Chinese New Year this year to settle this matter."

Shi Guangming suddenly remembered that so many things required manpower. He could definitely hire people, but they would definitely not be as reliable as his own people.
