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

Chapter 1247 Caught!
"You can't catch anything in such a short time, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. These cages were put down yesterday. It has only been a dozen or twenty hours now. Generally speaking, cages like this have to be put down for two days and two nights before you can catch more things.

"We don't rely on this cage to catch fish for food, we just want to see if we can really catch any."

"If we can catch it, we can catch it. If we can't catch it, forget it and just throw it back into the sea!"

"Besides, if there are really a lot of eels under the fish racks, this amount of time would have been enough. There would definitely be a big white eel crawling in."

Yang Qin really wanted to pull up two or three cages to see if there was anything caught inside.

"Alright alright!"

"If you really want to know if there are any, then pick up two or three and take a look."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and realized that what Yang Qin said actually made some sense.

It usually takes two or three days to catch more fish, but we just want to know if there are any in the sea. We are not relying on this to make money. A shorter time is fine. What's more important is that what Yang Qin said makes sense. If there are more big white eels under the sea, some of them will really run into the cages by now.

"Row!"

"Then call someone to pull the cage!"

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and looked at Ding Ailian. The cage was very large, one meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high. It was definitely not something they could pull up.

Ding Ailian shouted loudly and one of the people working on the fish rack came over.

Yang Qin's eyes widened.

The cages were pulled up one after another.

The sea water was very clear, the sun had risen, and the visibility was very high. You could vaguely see it at a depth of about ten meters.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Is there something in the cage? Why do I seem to see something?"

Yang Qin was a little anxious, and pointed at the cage that was being pulled up continuously while speaking.

"What the hell is that?"

"The water is still about seven or eight meters deep. Even if you can see the cage, can you still see what's inside it?"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head as she spoke.

This is impossible. First, the water is seven or eight meters deep, and it is not very clear. It is no problem to see the cage. It is impossible to see clearly whether there are fish in the cage, especially to see what fish there are.

You have to know that this is not just a matter of water depth. Another very important thing is that these cages are made of very dense fishing nets. Not to mention the water depth of seven or eight meters, even if they are pulled onto the deck and placed in front of you, it is difficult to see clearly what is inside.

Yang Qin said this just because she was a little nervous. She felt that she could see clearly what was inside, but it was really impossible.

"Whee!"

"Sister Yang Qin!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It will be pulled to the surface in a little while. We will know if there is anything there by taking a look then."

Ding Ailian didn’t know what was going on, but she was still very curious whether there really was something in the cage after it had been left there overnight.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao were originally sitting in Pingtan. When they saw the cage being pulled, they came over.

When Ding Xiaoxiang saw this, she originally wanted to shout not to come over, but the fish farm was built very well, the passages were very wide, and there was no wind on the beach at this time, it was very calm, so she simply stopped trying to stop them.

"There's something in this cage!"

Huang Jintao walked over and took a look. She didn't know what it was, but it was 100% certain that there was something there.

"Second Grandma."

“Are there really fish in it?”

"How did you figure that out?"

Yang Qin was a little curious. The cage was in the water at this moment. Although it was only five or six meters, Xiaoxiang was right in saying that it was really hard to see clearly whether there was anything inside.

"It's definitely not clear what it is, but there is definitely something there."

"Why bother looking inside the cage? Just look at the weight of the cage and you'll know what's going on!"

Huang Jintao smiled.

The cage was not pulled up, so we had no idea what kind of fish was inside. But looking at the weight of the cage, we knew there must be fish or crabs inside.

It's just that I really don't know what it is exactly.

Yang Qin didn't pay attention to this matter, but when the environment said this, she took a closer look and it was really like this. Now the cage is obviously pulled up. It is very heavy, and it is definitely not the weight of the cage itself.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Is there really a giant white eel in here?"

Yang Qin was just a little curious at first, but now she saw something in the cage, and it looked like the thing was unclear, so she suddenly became nervous.

"If it really is a giant white eel, isn't that a good thing? Isn't that what we want to do to set up a cage and catch this thing?"

Ding Xiaoxiang found it a little funny.

Yang Qin was really worried. She originally wanted to catch the big white eel, but now that she knew there was something in the cage, she became even more nervous.

"Yang Qin."

"There's something in here. Whatever it is, it's a good thing. Even if it's Shi Jiugong or some other fish, can't we still have a meal?"

Ma Baozhu was originally somewhere else in the fish farm. When she saw the cage being pulled and heard Yang Qin shouting loudly about what was in the cage, she came over.

The cages placed in the sea must contain something that has been caught, so it’s all free money no matter what it is.

It would definitely be a good thing if we could get valuable big white eels or groupers, but if we don't have them, even if we have stone jiugong or some other small fishes, there would be no problem at all. We can just pour them into the fish cages to feed other big fishes, or we can make soup and drink it. It would all be in vain.

"Sister Baozhu."

"You're right. No matter what kind of fish it is, we'll make a profit!"

Yang Qin thought about it and realized that this was really the case. No matter what kind of fish it was, it was all free money for them. If it was a valuable fish, that would definitely be better. Even if it was a worthless fish, they could just be used to feed the fish and the fish inside.

"Don't underestimate Shi Jiugong."

"The water here is so deep. We caught it with a cage, so it must be from the bottom of the sea. No matter what, it must be at least half a pound in size."

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed and saw a net cage that was about two meters out of the water.

The sea water here is more than twenty meters deep. At such a deep seabed, even Shi Jiugong would be very big.

Not to mention the price of a half-jin piece of nine-jin, even three or two pieces of nine-jin is not low, and it is really delicious.

If you catch a Right Nine Palace of this size, it is very cost-effective to keep it for yourself even if you don’t sell it.

Yang Qin watched the cage being pulled to the surface of the water and suddenly heard something moving inside, but the sound disappeared after a moment.

"What's going on? Shouldn't there be fish in it? Why did it move for a moment and then stop moving again?"

“Is there a fish in this cage or not?”

Yang Qin was very nervous. She clearly heard a sound in the cage, but the next moment there was no sound. She didn't know what was going on and whether she had heard it wrongly.

"There must be a fish, but I just don't know what it is!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was 100% sure that Yang Qin had not heard wrongly. There must be a fish in the cage, and it should be quite big. She just didn't know what it was.

The cage was pulled up and placed on the wooden planks of the fish rack.

Yang Qin was very anxious and reached out to open the cage.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know what kind of fish is in there, and you're just going to do it like this!"

Zhong Cuihua was standing nearby and immediately stopped Yang Qin when she saw her expression. If it was just an ordinary fish, then there would be no problem. However, this time the cage was put up mainly to catch the giant eels in the sea.

This thing is not an ordinary fish. Its teeth are very sharp. Another thing is that it is slippery and it is difficult to catch it.

Yang Qin reached out and opened the cage. If there really was a big white eel in it, and it was quite large, it would be a terrible thing once she put her hand in.

Yang Qin retracted her hand. She was a little too anxious just now. If there really was a big white eel in there, it would be really terrible.

"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here?"

When Zhao Shi walked out of the room, he immediately saw Ding Xiaoxiang, Yang Qin and a few others gathered together.

"Second Grandpa!"

"I'm pulling the cage! There's a fish in it, I don't know what it is, I just wanted to take a look!"

Ding Xiaoxiang saw Zhao Shi and shouted loudly.

"Have you opened the cage yet? Didn't you say you would wait two days before opening it?"

Shi Guangming walked out of the room behind Zhao Shi. When he heard Ding Xiaoxiang's words, he immediately walked over quickly.

"It's something! But it struggled and made a sound just now, but now it's silent again. I don't know what it is."

Yang Qin pointed to the cage at her feet.

Zhao Shi had many years of fishing experience and was very experienced. After he stood up the cage, he immediately heard the sound coming from inside.

"Correct!"

"There's something in there! And it's definitely not a fish!"

"It can't really be a giant white eel, right? Or maybe some other kind of eel?"

After all, Shi Guangming was very experienced. As soon as he heard it, he felt that the thing in the cage looked like a giant white eel, or at least it was an eel.

"Correct!"

"It's really possible! Otherwise the sound wouldn't be like this at this moment!"

Zhao Shi nodded.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Open the lid! Let's see what's inside!"

Yang Qin became even more anxious now.

Zhao Shi nodded and opened the lid of the cage.

At this time, the cage is standing up, and the fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. are all under the cage. Moreover, the cage is relatively high, so you can just open the lid and no matter what fish it is, no fish can escape.

"Yo!"

"It really is an eel, and it's a big white eel! It's even bigger than the one we caught before. I estimate it weighs about 15 to 20 pounds!"

Zhao Shi looked down at the open cage and saw a large white eel coiled at the bottom of the cage.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"A bigger one?"

Yang Qin asked repeatedly.

"Could this be false? It must be true!"

"Sister Baozhu."

"Is there a large bowl bag on top of the fish fillet? Bring one over here that can fit this cage!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very excited. She didn't expect that she really caught it. And Zhao Shi just said that this was a big white eel weighing seven or eight kilograms.

Ma Baozhu nodded, turned and left, and came back with a large net bag.

Zhao Shi covered the mouth of the cage with a net bag, lifted the cage upside down, and a big fish fell out, along with some small fish.

"Oh!"

"It's really a big white eel! This one is even bigger than the one we ate yesterday!"

Yang Qin exclaimed.

There was a huge white eel coiled in the net bag.

It's as thick as a human calf, which looks really shocking.

"what!"

"Old man Shi."

"We were right about what we guessed. There really are big eels in this place. And judging by the size of this one, there are even bigger ones in the sea!"

Zhao Shi was very excited, but he was not only excited about catching one eel with the cage. The most important thing was that he caught one yesterday and caught another one today. This proved that there were indeed quite a few big white eels on the seabed, especially around the pier.

Normally, these big white eels swim around in various places, or they are relatively scattered, and no one can tell where they are.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai built a fish farm in this place, which was equivalent to a small island appearing near the pier, attracting many kinds of fish from the surrounding sea, especially from the seabed, to gather here.

This is what a giant white eel looks like, and it is very likely that this is just one of the species, and there may be other big fish.

There are ten cages placed at this fish farm now. One fish has been caught by pulling up one cage, so there must be more.

"Correct!"

"This big white eel is so big, there may not be bigger ones, but there are definitely ones of similar size, and there are definitely a lot of them."

"No wonder there are so many speedboats fishing around here! Maybe they are all using their hooks to sink to the bottom. If you can catch one a day or even one every three to five days, you can make a lot of money."

Shi Guangmin couldn't help but look at the surrounding sea. At this time, there were more and more speedboats and small fishing boats.

For many years, I have been driving a sea fishing boat from Shanghai and taking people out to sea. I am really not familiar with the fishing pier and don't know what kind of fish people here can catch.

Now looking at this place called the pier, I can catch more fish and make more money than I imagined.

Otherwise, these small speedboats and small fishing boats could not stay in a place like this all day long. A person of about the same age as me in the village made it very clear that you should not underestimate these small speedboats and small fishing boats. Some people may earn not much less than those speedboats that go fishing in the open sea in a month.
