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

Chapter 1192 It’s time to sleep
"It's not like there isn't any!"

“But it’s really not much!”

"Another reason is that these winter crabs are smaller in size, and most of them have low roe, so it's very difficult to sell them at a good price."

Ding Chongshan just shook his head.

The most important or most profitable thing about winter crabs is that they must be big enough and have enough roe or roe.

In recent years, the number of winter crabs has been decreasing, the size has been getting smaller, and the roe and roe have been decreasing. This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Dahai's batch of several thousand kilograms of winter crabs is very valuable and is very prestigious as a New Year's gift.

I have been purchasing fish, shrimps and crabs for many years, and I can purchase winter crabs every year, but the quantity is really small, and they are small and do not have much roe. Such winter crabs are actually not as good as orchid crabs or other crabs.

"Boss Wu."

"Whether it's your private restaurant or Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, it's basically impossible to sell winter crabs."

"No matter if I have them or someone else has them, there won't be enough of them. If there aren't enough of them, it will be meaningless to you and Liu Gang and Liu Lei."

As soon as Ding Chongshan saw Wu Weimin's expression, he knew that he must be thinking about such a thing, but it was really impossible.

It is not difficult to collect a few dozen kilograms or two or three hundred kilograms of winter crabs to eat yourself or give some to others. It is possible to do it in any way. However, if you want to sell them in a restaurant or private restaurant, it is really impossible.

Wu Weimin scratched his face. He really had such an idea, but what Ding Chongshan said made a lot of sense. If there were not enough numbers, it would be meaningless.

"Wu Weimin."

"Don't even think about this kind of thing!"

"Zhao Dahai put out crab cages at the end of last year. You know the quality of the winter crabs he caught."

"You've been running a private restaurant for so many years. When have you ever seen so many winter crabs of this size?"

"If Ding Chongshan can't get these winter crabs, then other people won't be able to get them either, so you can forget about selling them in your restaurant."

"The only thing I'm thinking about now is that I hope that by the end of this year, the crab cages Zhao Dahai has put out will still be able to catch winter crabs. Otherwise, we won't even be able to eat them ourselves, let alone sell them to make money!"

Gao Zhicheng knew that Wu Weimin must be thinking of collecting enough winter crabs to sell in his own private restaurant, but this was really impossible.

"Don't think about it!"

"If the weather isn't right this year, we won't have anything to eat!"

"There are so many things that can be sold. You can't possibly sell them all in your private restaurant, right?"

What Lin Zuhua was concerned about was whether his people had anything to eat.

"Correct!"

"That makes so much sense. There are so many things in this world that can be sold and make money. It's impossible to sell them all in a private restaurant. Now that we've made a lot of money, we have to eat the good things first. That's the right thing to do."

Gao Zhicheng strongly agreed.

"Why are you worried about this?"

"I really want to sell these winter crabs, but do you think Zhao Dahai will agree? You all know how much several thousand kilograms of winter crabs were worth last year, but in the end Zhao Dahai didn't sell any of them. Instead, everyone shared them out and ate them."

Wu Weimin kept shaking his head as he spoke.

Thousands of kilograms of winter crabs, and all of them are big, weighing about one kilogram or more, they are really valuable.

Zhao Dahai didn't say a word and didn't sell any of them. He distributed all of them to his people to eat during the New Year.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do.

It is not clear whether there are winter crabs this year, but even if there are, there will not be that many. At most, the number will be about the same as last year.

Zhao Dahai did not sell these winter crabs last year, and it is even more impossible for him to sell them this year.

Ding Chongshan, Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng walked back and forth along the fish farm while talking. Looking at the fish in the fish farm, everyone was very surprised.

Night falls.

The sea breeze gradually becomes cooler and is very comfortable.

There are a few waves, but the fish steaks are very stable. Instead, the waves gently hitting the fish steaks give people a very comfortable feeling.

"I wonder if we can catch mackerel this time?"

……

"Lin Zuhua."

"What's going on? You spent so much time last time, but still couldn't catch a big mackerel?"

……

"Yo!"

"Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin, what on earth are you two doing in the sea? I want to see if you can really catch a giant mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms this time."

……

"There must be big mackerels in the sea. It depends on whether we have the ability to catch them!"

……

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Ding Chongshan sat around eating and talking. They were all looking forward to catching a big mackerel when they went out to sea tomorrow, but they were also a little uncertain.

There must be mackerels in the sea!
There is no doubt about it!
Earlier, Ding Chongshan caught a mackerel, a huge one weighing over 100 kilograms.

Ding Dawen has been catching mackerels of various sizes recently, which proves that there are indeed large mackerels in the sea where Ding Dawen's fishing boat is docked.

But having fish doesn't mean you can catch them.

"Zhao Dahai is not on the speedboat, which makes me feel a little uneasy, but there is nothing we can do about it. We have to wait until we go out to sea tomorrow, and then it depends on our ability!"

"We must keep our eyes open and pay attention to various situations to see if we can figure out some solutions."

Wu Weiming looked at Gao Zhicheng who was sitting next to him.

"What on earth is that look in your eyes?"

"Do you think I can be as capable as Zhao Dahai?"

"If you really have such a skill, do you really need to say it?"

Gao Zhicheng knew that Wu Weimin's look meant that when he couldn't catch any fish, he had to think of some ways. If it were in the past, he would have agreed with a pat on his chest, but after seeing Zhao Dahai's ability, he really didn't dare to say such a thing.

"Gao Zhicheng."

"Aren't you destroying your own prestige?" "Don't forget, you are a real fishing master, and a professional fishing master."

"When we can't catch any fish, who else can we ask if not you?"

Lin Zuhua took a sip of the hot fish soup. Wu Weimin had the same idea, and he also had the same idea. When he couldn't catch any fish, he really relied on Gao Zhicheng. But Gao Zhicheng was clearly saying that he couldn't think of any solution when he couldn't catch any fish.

"I definitely have more methods than you, but I dare not say that my methods can catch fish!"

"Zhao Dahai's strength lies not only in his ability to think of solutions, but also in the fact that these solutions are really useful!"

"The biggest difference between us and Zhao Dahai is that no matter what methods we know, they are useless and we can't catch the fish in the sea."

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Whether it is himself or Ding Chongshan, Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin, they have all been fishing for many years.

How can you not have any ideas when you can't catch fish? The key point is that the ideas that these people come up with are basically useless.

What makes Zhao Dahai so powerful is that the methods he comes up with are very useful.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and Ding Chongshan all nodded involuntarily. The difference really lies here.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao ate their meal in small bites without saying a word. They just listened to Ding Chongshan and the others talking about fishing. Seeing such a lively scene, both of them were very happy.

Ding Chongshan, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua finished their meal and went to sleep in the room above the fish farm. They were thinking about whether to wait a little longer to see if they could catch some small squids, but when they thought about having to get up early tomorrow morning to go fishing, they simply gave up and waited until the next trip.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma."

"It's getting late."

"I think the sea breeze is a bit cold, why don't we go back to the room and sleep!"

After Ma Baozhu packed up her things, she walked around the fish rack and found nothing, so she walked back to Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao.

It’s not too late now, but the sea breeze is indeed a bit cold.

It’s not a problem for young people like me, but Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao are old and there’s no need for them to stay outside.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao nodded, stood up and returned to their rooms.

"How are the fish I put in the fish rack today? I just checked and there's nothing wrong with them!"

Ma Baozhu looked at Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao lying on the bed, turned off the light and walked out, she saw Ding Ailian coming back with two puppies after watching the fish fillets.

"They are all alive and kicking. I just saw quite a few sea bass floating on the water and swimming around, eager to jump out and run to other places to find food!"

"The water surface was in a mess, with splashes everywhere and constant thumping sounds."

Ding Ailian pointed to her trouser legs as she spoke. When she walked past the fish paddock, water splashed over them and they were already wet.

"Xiao Xiang said that the prices of black porgy and sea bass may drop in the next few days."

"We can still sell the fish from Boss Wu and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, but we can't sell the other ones no matter who comes. We have to wait until the price goes up."

Ma Baozhu told Ding Ailian to remember this.

"Row."

"I know about this!"

"correct!"

"Why do I feel like there are too many speedboats near our fish farm tonight?"

Ding Ailian pointed to the northeast and then to the southwest, where there were several speedboats.

Ma Baozhu took a look. The distance was a bit far and it was dark now, so the lights on the speedboat were very clear.

There are many people who go fishing at sea at night, but these people generally look for fishing spots where they can catch fish.

There are often a lot of fishing boats coming to the pier.

Normally, speedboats would not go fishing in places like this, as various accidents could easily happen. In addition, with so many fishing boats coming and going, the fish in the sea would be frightened and difficult to catch. Another thing is that even if there are fish in places like the pier, they are generally small fish, and there would not be any fish that are too big.

If there are fish fillets, does that mean there will be fish?

There will definitely be fish, but the fish farm was built not long ago, so even if there are fish, there won’t be many.

The tidal current attracted many small fish to gather and attracted big fish, but now the current is covered by the platform above the fish rack.

It is impossible to catch the fish in this place by speedboat, as there are ropes around the fish rafts.

No matter from which point of view, these speedboats should not be fishing in this place. They are here now and must be planning something.

"Didn't a few speedboats come here a few days ago, but they ran away after hearing the dogs barking? It seems that the news didn't get out, otherwise these speedboats wouldn't have stayed here."

Ma Baozhu shook her head.

There are a lot of fish here on the fish rack, and there must be a lot of people with ideas.

From time to time, one or two speedboats like this might appear. But these speedboats are really thinking too much.

"Elaine."

"We'll just arrange for someone to watch over the fish paddocks. There's no need for the two of us to keep watching here!"

"It's time to sleep!"

"Otherwise, I really won't be able to work during the day!"

Ma Baozhu didn't think about just standing here and staring at those speedboats.

There are quite a few people here at the fish farm. Just arrange it so that everyone just needs to guard for a while. There is absolutely no need for everyone to be in this place.

If I or Ding Ailian stayed here all the time, it would be fine for a day or two, but we would not be able to hold on for a long time.

Another thing is that even if you can hold on at night, when things come up during the day, you won’t be able to handle them if you don’t have the energy to do so.

Ding Ailian nodded. What happened here was not just a matter of one or two days, but had been going on for years. It was impossible for her and Ma Baozhu to stay here all day and watch until dawn.

Ding Ailian shouted at two puppies not far away, and they immediately rushed over and circled around Ding Ailian.

Ding Ailian pointed at the speedboats and told the two puppies to look carefully and shout immediately if anyone came.

Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian arranged for everyone to sleep in the room.
