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

Chapter 1400 The price of fish will continue to rise

"Is this really because you are starving?"

Ding Xiaoxiang watched Zhao Dahai shoveling the rice in the bowl mouthful after mouthful, then turned her head to look at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou beside her. Everyone was doing the same thing.

"I had a good sleep on the way back and didn't even eat anything!"

Zhao Dahai smiled.

Ding Dawen's fishing boat was always not far from where he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were fishing.

Going fishing at sea is definitely very hard, but not only will you not be hungry, but you will also get a lot of water.

I am so hungry now because I had a good sleep on the way back. I feel hungry because I haven’t eaten for a long time.

"what!"

"How could a few of us go hungry when we go out to sea?"

“I don’t know how good the food is!”

Zhong Shizhu nodded, and he, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin followed Zhao Dahai out to sea to fish. It was tiring, for sure, but the food and drink were really good, and sleeping was also very good with a large fishing boat, otherwise they really couldn't stand the intensity of such fishing.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"It's getting late now. Are you going to sleep here at the fish farm or just go home?"

Zhao Dahai asked Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da what their plan was.

After this trip, I planned to rest for two days so that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Hua Lei could return to the village.

"I had a good sleep on the fishing boat on the way back."

"It's almost four in the morning now. It won't be long before daybreak."

"We might as well drive the speedboat back to the village now."

Zhong Shizhu said this while looking at Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Row!"

"Go back now, go back now!"

Zhao Dahai nodded.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing with me outside all this time and have not had time to go home. Now that I have come back to rest, I must go back again.

There's not much work to do here at the fish farm, so you should go back early.

After finishing their meal, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took a rest, then drove Zhao Dahai's smaller speedboat away from the fish farm and back to the village.

"Boss Gao and his team really caught a big fish this time!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and pointed at Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong.

As soon as Ding Dawen's fishing boat came back, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others immediately boarded the fishing boat and lifted all the swordfish. At this moment, they were proudly showing off to Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming and other people on the fish farm.

"what!"

"Isn't it true?"

"Boss Gao and his team have really turned things around this time."

"I've been out to sea so many times before, but I haven't been able to catch a big mackerel. This time, not only did I catch one, but the size of these mackerels is really good. Add to that the swordfish, and it's even more amazing."

Zhao Dahai laughed.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and his friends had gone out to sea several times, wanting to catch a big mackerel, but had never been able to do so. However, this time they actually caught one.

Moreover, the sizes of the swordfish and swordfish we caught were really big.

For people like Gao Zhicheng who go fishing at sea not for the purpose of making money, this is really a very remarkable thing.

"Don't think that Boss Gao and his crew have already returned from this trip, but I think it won't be long before they go out to sea to fish again."

Zhao Dahai prepared Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others.

People who like fishing are like this. When they fail to catch any fish, they feel a huge blow and may not go fishing at sea again for a short period of time. But once they catch a fish, they will like going fishing at sea even more.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua caught a large mackerel weighing more than 150 kilograms and a two-meter-long swordfish. These are the fish that people who like fishing really want to catch.

Don’t think that you have returned now, or plan to do something else and continue going out to sea fishing.

But it is 100% certain that within three to five days, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others will be thinking about whether to go out to sea to fish again.

"No way? Boss Gao and Boss Wu have already gone out to sea several times during this period, spending a lot of time. The key is that they have already caught fish, and they have caught big fish. Why would they want to go out to sea to fish again?"

Ding Xiaoxiang kept shaking her head.

"what!"

"You don't understand what Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin are thinking."

"If they catch any fish, they may have to rest for a few days before going out to sea to fish. But now that they have caught such a big fish, they must be thinking about taking advantage of the golden time like the fishing moratorium to go out to sea to fish again."

"People who like fishing can always find an excuse to go fishing at any time."

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.

Ding Xiaoxiang must have thought that Gao Zhicheng, especially Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua, had to make money or something.

But Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong, Lin Zuhua and even more people will be thinking about going out to sea to fish next.

"You've caught so many fish in this period of time, so you must be exhausted, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang simply didn't care about the affairs of Gao Zhicheng and others. If they wanted to go fishing, they could go fishing. It had nothing to do with her and Zhao Dahai.

"There are really a lot of fish during this period, which is beyond our expectations."

"At first, one speedboat went out to sea, and then two speedboats went out to sea. If Uncle Shizhu and I were a little tired, we could basically catch about 15,000 kilograms of fish each time."

"Catching so many fish takes a huge toll on your energy."

"I might as well come back and rest for two days before going out to sea to fish again."

Zhao Dahai said as he looked at the fish fillet.

"You have to take some breaks. You can't keep fishing just because you've caught so many fish."

"If your body is exhausted, then it's really useless."

Ding Xiaoxiang agreed very much.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou can now catch at least 10,000 kilograms of fish in a day, and at most 17,000 to 18,000 kilograms of fish.

I came back to rest for a day or two, and I earned a lot less money. But Zhao Dahai's decision was very correct, and he really had to do it this way, otherwise he would be exhausted and nothing would work.

What is the meaning of how much money?
Of course you have to make money, but you really have to pay close attention and not overwork yourself.

"During the next fishing moratorium, I estimate that there will be more and more fish."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and felt that during the upcoming fishing moratorium, he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou should be able to catch a lot of fish.

"oh!?"

“Is it really possible to catch so many fish all the time?”

Ding Xiaoxiang was really a little surprised this time.

Zhao Dahai has caught a lot of fish in the past few days.

Ding Dawen's fishing boat has returned to Yubei and has been unloading fish non-stop. He is still busy now.

Ding Xiaoxiang originally thought that this would only happen in the next few days, but Zhao Dahai's words clearly meant that it would take a long time.

"Correct!"

"It's even possible that the fish we catch next time will be much more than what we caught in the past few days."

Zhao Dahai nodded.

Don’t think that in the past few days, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da and I have caught a lot of fish. However, in the next period of time until the end of the fishing moratorium, Zhong Shizhu and I will catch more and more fish.

"How are the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs these days?"

Zhao Dahai knew very well that the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs would definitely rise when the fishing moratorium began, and the rise would be very fast. However, he was busy fishing during this period and did not return to the dock, so he really did not know what the current market prices were like.

"From the beginning of the fishing moratorium until now, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have increased by about 20%."

Ding Xiaoxiang has been paying attention to the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs in the market and is very clear about the market conditions.

"This price is already quite good. Will it continue to rise?"

Zhao Dahai was a little curious whether the price would continue to rise.

"For ordinary fish, shrimp and crabs, the price will not continue to rise. But if it is Big Brother's fish, such as the big sea bass, black sea bream and yellow croaker that you and Uncle Shizhu caught, then the price will definitely continue to rise."

"As for fish like grouper, it goes without saying that not only is the price continuing to rise, but the increase is very sharp."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that if it was just ordinary fish, such as those sold in the town’s fish market, the price would continue to rise a little, but it would be very limited.

However, the prices of black sea bream weighing three to five kilograms, yellow chicken, and especially large grouper continue to rise, and the rise is very fast.

"Oh?"

"Why is it like this?"

Zhao Dahai felt a little strange and didn't know why it was like this.

"Generally, fish, shrimp and crabs are sold in ordinary markets. The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs in places like this are not too expensive."

"A 20% increase is almost the limit. Sometimes, some will increase by 30% or even 50%, but there won't be too many fish, shrimps or crabs like this."

"If the price continues to rise, no one will buy it."

"It's meaningless. Everyone can just not eat it or eat less."

“The sales volume is very low, so the people selling fish offline can’t make any money.”

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Zhao Dahai didn't understand the situation very well.

Zhao Dahai knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

During the fishing moratorium, there are fewer fish, shrimps and crabs, so the prices will definitely go up, but they won’t keep going up.

If the price keeps going up, people won't be able to afford the fish. In other words, they won't be able to sell the fish. In that case, it's not that the fish sellers don't want to continue raising the price, but that it's useless to continue raising the price. When the price reaches a certain level, no one will buy the fish, so they have to stop or even lower the price.

“Large-sized fish like black bream or yellow pheasant are not actually sold in ordinary markets here in town.”

"The fish we have are sold to Hongyun Restaurant or Boss Wu Weimin's private restaurant, or other seafood restaurants."

"During the fishing moratorium in places like this, more people go there to eat, and more fish, shrimp and crabs are needed, so the prices will definitely continue to rise."

As Ding Xiaoxiang spoke, a smile appeared on her face.

If they are just small fish that can only be sold in a place like a town, you won't make much more money even if you try to make more money during the fishing moratorium.

However, the fish Zhao Dahai caught were large black porgy, large sea bass, and yellow chicken, the kind of fish that could be sold to seafood restaurants or private restaurants.

The price of fish is relatively high in such places. During the fishing moratorium, the sales volume of fish, shrimp and crabs in such places will not be affected but will increase steadily. Many people who come to such places to eat will not care too much about the rising prices of fish, shrimp and crabs.

"The fishing moratorium has been in place for about half a month now, and the prices of the large black porgy, sea bass and yellow chicken we have on hand have risen by about 70%."

"There's no need to talk about fish like grouper, the number has almost doubled!"

The smile on Ding Xiaoxiang's face was very bright.

Recently, I have been counting money until my hands cramped. I can make a lot more money from the same fish during the fishing moratorium.

"Didn't you catch more fish these days than before the fishing moratorium?"

"That way, we can make more money."

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

"I really didn't expect that the prices of these large fish, even black porgy or sea bass, would rise so high!"

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. He knew that the fishing moratorium was coming and the prices of the fish he had would definitely go up, but he never expected it to rise so high.

What Ding Xiaoxiang meant by this was clearly that the prices of black porgy, yellowtail sea bass, and especially the grouper that she had obtained, would continue to rise.

"Is it difficult to catch grouper recently?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little puzzled by this matter. The two fishing boats that returned recently, especially the one that came back today, basically brought back sea bass, black porgy or yellow croaker, and not many groupers.

"It's not that grouper is difficult to catch, but there are too many people at the fishing spots for grouper, such as Windmill Foot or artificial islands and reefs."

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

The grouper is still the same grouper fishing spot and the same fishing spot. It’s not that grouper is difficult to catch. There are many ways to fish on the rocks on the seabed, but there are too many people crowded together on the artificial islands or windmill feet.

"There are too many people. First, some spots that only I know about are likely to be seen by others. Second, even if there are some places that have been known for a long time, as long as others see Uncle Shizhu and I catching big groupers, they will crowd over and that will have an impact."

Zhao Dahai really hasn't fished for grouper in recent days. It's not that there are no groupers in the sea, but there are too many people.
