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

Chapter 1243: Could there be a big eel?
Ding Xiaoxiang, Ding Ailian, and Yang Qin worked together to put ten cages into the sea and placed them in various corners of the fish farm.

The bait used here is very simple. It is to catch some small fish from the fish cage, chop them into two pieces with a knife and throw them in.

"I wonder if it's really possible to catch a giant white eel, or any other kind of eel?"

Yang Qin washed her hands.

The cage was placed in the sea, but it was hard to say whether there would be any fish, especially whether one could really catch the big white eel that they wanted.

"It should be no problem, but it will take time. We may have to collect these cages tomorrow or even three days later to catch them."

Zhao Shi wasn't worried at all.

Any net dragon that is close to the water surface here can catch a big white eel, which really shows that there must be a lot of fish nearby.

Now we have put the cage in place, and it is placed under the fish rack. If there is anything there, it will definitely crawl into it.

"Whee!"

"Anyway, let's just put it at the fish paddock!"

"If there is one, we can definitely catch it!"

"If we can really catch it, the people fishing on the speedboats or fishing boats around here will be very angry!"

Yang Qin pointed at the thirty speedboats and small fishing boats around. These people were fishing and catching big eels. If they could do it in cages, they would definitely see it and would be very depressed or even angry. You know, no matter how they fish in this place, they can't catch more than those who put cages.

Why didn't these people put cages? They must have put cages. It's not clear how many cages they had near the pier. Or maybe they put so many cages that they couldn't catch any eels.

If there were no fish racks, it would be like putting cages here for Ding Xiaoxiang and I to basically not be able to catch eels. Now that there are fish racks here, it would be much easier to put cages in to catch eels.

What Zhao Shi said was right. If there is no evidence, there is nothing to say. As long as there is, it can definitely be caught.

"Correct!"

"If we put cages here and catch a giant white eel or any other eel, these people will definitely be very angry."

"But what's the use? Who told us to build a fish farm here? If they have the ability to build a fish farm here, they can also put cages there and have a chance to catch these big white eels in the sea."

Shi Guangming smiled.

I don't take this matter to heart at all.

Unfair?
What's unfair about that? Going out to sea is all about who has the bigger boat and who has more money.

The bigger the fishing boat, the farther it can travel, the bigger the fishing net it can use, and the more fish it can catch.

With more money in hand, whether it is buying a big fishing boat or building a big fish farm in this place like himself and Ding Xiaoxiang, whether it is raising fish or doing anything else, we can make more money.

If you don’t have money, it’s really difficult to make money.

Why can these small speedboats or fishing boats around only fish in this place? Why not go to the open sea?
Don’t they know that they can catch more fish and make more money by going somewhere further?

How could I not know?

The reason they can't go is simply that they don't have the money to buy a bigger speedboat, they don't have the money to maintain a bigger speedboat, and without a bigger speedboat they can't go out, and in turn the money they earn is getting less and less.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin finished their lunch, rested for a while and then left the fish farm as they had other things to do.

When Yang Qing left, she repeatedly reminded Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu that the cage should not be put away until she came back in two days, and they must not open it to check when she was not around.

Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao watched Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin drive away on the speedboat and went back to their rooms to take a nap.

"There are really too many speedboats around here. Do they really think there are big fish nearby?"

Shi Guangming took a deep puff on the hookah in his hand, and thick smoke came out.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but there are more and more express deliveries around me, and today there are more than yesterday.

"Is there any way to do this?"

"Who told us that our fish farm occupies such a good spot? There is only one fish farm like this nearby."

"Small fishing boats or speedboats fishing in this area will definitely have to squeeze into this place."

"Plus, if there are eels in the sea, these people will definitely sink to the bottom, and the hook will definitely stay in this place!"

Zhao Shi was also very helpless. There must be so many speedboats nearby with his people. No one knew what these speedboats would do, but there was really nothing he could do.

"We can't take care of things like this. There's no reason for us to take care of things like this."

"It's possible to keep an eye out to see if there's anything wrong with these speedboats or these fish farms."

Shi Guangming slapped his forehead. There was really nothing he could do about this situation.

Zhao Shi nodded and said no more about it. He glanced at the ropes of the net cages tied to the fish racks, wondering if he could really catch big white eels if he put them away in a couple of days. If he could do it and catch a lot, he would definitely be able to keep placing cages here and keep catching them.

You never know if you can catch an eel weighing five or six kilograms, or even eight or ten kilograms. That's a really good thing.

"Old man Shi."

"Do you think there are eels in this place?"

Zhao Shi suddenly remembered something.

The giant white eel is definitely popular and very delicious, but if we talk about eels from the sea, it must be the big eel, especially the large giant eel, which is really top-notch stuff.

Shi Guangming didn't expect that Zhao Shi was talking about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had heard that someone had caught a large eel weighing more than ten kilograms here.

"No way, is it true? If that's the case, maybe we can catch it if we put it in a cage!"

Zhao Shi was just saying it casually, but now Shi Guangming said there are big eels here, but this is not surprising, the water here at the dock is too deep, and it never dries up all year round. In a place like this, anything is possible.

"People often go fishing at the pier. I'm not talking about fishing on speedboats or fishing boats, but fishing at the pier."

"This kind of fishing is usually done to catch big fish."

"We usually go out to sea for a month, and we always go deep sea. I'm not really sure what kind of fish we can catch at the pier, but I did hear that someone caught a relatively large eel here."

Shi Guangming thought about it carefully for a while and made sure that he was not mistaken and that someone had indeed caught some fish at this pier.

"what!"

"If we can really catch it, then it's no joke, it's definitely the real good stuff!"

"If you catch one in a couple of days, you'll have to have a good meal!"

Zhao Shi couldn't help but spit.

For other fishes like grouper or sea bass, if you eat a little too much, you really don’t care too much, but if it is an eel weighing more than 10 or 20 kilograms, then you will be very stingy, and the taste is really good.

"Zhao Shi!"

"Why do I feel like you're willing to eat anything now?"

"You can eat a giant eel weighing more than ten kilograms just like that. This is really true. I didn't expect you to say something like this!"

Shi Guangming laughed.

This is really not a joke. A giant eel weighing more than ten kilograms is very expensive and can be sold for a lot of money. When fishermen catch such a fish, few of them are willing to eat it.

"Isn't this all thanks to Zhao Dahai? If it were me, if it were in the past, I would really not be willing to eat a fish like this if I caught one!"

Zhao Shi smiled and nodded.

When I went fishing at sea, I didn't catch too many fish. It was difficult to make money. Any fish that was a little bigger would be sold for money. I really couldn't bear to eat them myself.

Ever since Zhao Dahai went out to sea to fish, he has caught a lot of fish, and all of them are valuable fish.

I really ate and drank a lot, and as I ate and drank more, I naturally didn't take these fish seriously.

There is a cage here at the fish farm. If you catch a big eel, you will definitely cook it and eat it.

"Correct!"

"In retrospect, we are all thanks to Zhao Dahai, including our family. If it weren't for Zhao Dahai, how could our business be so good? Apart from other things, we have bought two huge sea fishing boats. Now, every time we get a fishing spot, others are scrambling for it. I don't know how long the queue is!"

Shi Guangming nodded vigorously. These families have been driving sea fishing boats to take others to deep-sea fishing since they started. The business is not too bad, but it is not very good either.

Ever since cooperating with Zhao Dahai, the fishing spots on sea fishing boats have been in high demand.

I really have never thought about this kind of thing.

"Who could have imagined that we two would encounter something like this when we are old?"

"For something like going overseas, as long as you have the ability to earn it, you can not only make money, but you can really make a lot of money."

Zhao Shi has been fishing all his life, but he didn't make much money, just enough to support his family. He never believed that fishing in Zhuhai could make money. But when Zhao Dahai started going out to sea to fish, he suddenly discovered that he could really make money, and a lot of money. The reason why he couldn't make money was simply because he didn't have the ability to do so.

"what!"

"Who said it wasn't true? It's really like this. Zhao Dahai has the ability to go fishing alone and make a lot of money. Now he can make even more money by going fishing with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou."

"We can't make money going overseas because we don't have the ability. If we had the ability, we could really make a lot of money."

Shi Guangming had to admit that he did make some money when he went out to sea, but compared to what Zhao Dahai made from fishing, this amount of money was just a fraction of what he made.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming sat on the fish raft and talked while occasionally looking around at the speedboats or small fishing boats gathered around to fish.

It has to be said that these speedboats or small fishing boats can't really catch many fish, but considering that they are close to the pier and the shore, the cost is very low, so they can still make some money, just not much.

"No wonder there are so many speedboats or small fishing boats gathering here to fish."

"There is definitely money for food and vegetables every day. If I can catch more fish or a few big fish, I can definitely make money."

"If you don't have enough money to buy a big speedboat or think it's too risky to sail offshore, you can earn a little money in a place like this to support your family."

At the beginning, Shi Guangming really couldn't understand why these speedboats or fishing boats were guarding such a place. He could only catch very few fish in a day, maybe only three or five kilograms. It was very difficult to catch more.

But after watching carefully for most of the day today, I realized that there is a reason why these speedboats or fishing boats are fishing in this place.

It is almost impossible to catch big fish here, especially to catch a lot of big fish, but you can definitely catch fish, but the fish are smaller in size and the number caught will be smaller.

But no matter what, you can still catch three or five kilograms.

Some speedboats or small fishing boats are a little quicker or have better luck and may catch a little more fish, sometimes even weighing ten or eight kilograms. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all small, but they can easily be sold for a hundred or eighty yuan, or even two or three hundred yuan.

A place like the pier has almost no costs. There is almost no gas money, and only some money to buy bait. You can't make much from this, but you will definitely have enough money for food throughout the day.

If you are a little luckier, you can make money.

I earn a few hundred yuan a day, and about three to four thousand yuan a month.

You can definitely earn so much money by working outside, but the problem is that you have to look up to other people when you work outside, and it is impossible to have such freedom. Moreover, there are other living expenses when you work outside. When you fish at the pier, you have to pay for food and accommodation at home.

If you think about it, these small fishing boats or small speedboats are actually living quite comfortably, though they are not as good as those speedboats sailing on the open sea.

Don't even think about comparing yourself with someone like Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stayed on the fish raft, constantly looking at the speedboats around them. Later, both of them just took fishing rods and went fishing.
