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

Chapter 1408 The Consequences of Being Fat

"Isn't it because I want to put in more effort so that I can lose more weight?"

Liu Lei pulled the iron hoist and the net cage up. As soon as they emerged from the water, the sea water rushed down. The fish in the net were swishing their tails, splashing water everywhere, making his head, face and even half of his clothes wet.

"Yo!"

"This fish is very fierce!"

As Liu Lei spoke, he pushed the suspended net cage, adjusted its position, and placed it on the wooden board of the fish farm platform.

All these fish swam into the net cage along with the sea water flow.

Almost every one of them is alive.

"How could it not be fierce?"

"The water here is very deep, so the fish here must be very fierce, and they are stronger than those in other places."

Zhao Dahai pulled open the rope at the bottom of the net cage and poured the fish, shrimps and crabs inside into three large baskets. It took three large baskets to contain all the fish.

"What do you want to eat?"

“There really is everything here!”

Zhao Dahai pulled over another smaller basket containing Liu Lei's fish, shrimps and crabs.

"This is no longer needed, right?"

"I'm on a diet now, right? How can I eat so much? How can I eat such delicious food?"

Liu Lei hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Why are you fat?"

"That's because I drank too much wine and ate too much meat!"

"Fish, shrimp, crab and other foods won't make you fat, especially fish."

Zhao Dahai took a look at Liu Lei and found that he had indeed gained a lot of weight. However, that had nothing to do with eating fish, shrimps and crabs. It was all caused by drinking and eating meat.

Wu Lei nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.

This statement is actually correct. The reason why you get fat is not because of eating fish, shrimps, crabs, especially fish, but because of drinking too much alcohol and eating too much meat.

Liu Lei picked out some small fish, there were all kinds of them, including croaker, stone bass, yellowtail and so on, all of which weighed five or six kilograms.

"what!"

"This skinned fish is really big!"

Liu Lei saw a large skinned fish weighing seven or eight pounds in the basket and took it out immediately.

"A big skinned fish doesn't taste as good as a small one!"

"If you want to eat this fish, steaming it won't work. Braising it is more suitable."

Zhao Dahai took a look at the skinned fish in Liu Lei's hand. It was indeed quite big.

There are two types of skinned fish, one is larger and the other is smaller.

Most people always think that the bigger the fish is, the tastier it is, but this is not the case with skinned fish. Large species of skinned fish are far less delicious than small species of skinned fish.

The skinned meat of a small fish is tender and full of flavor, while the meat of a large fish is indeed thicker, but a bit tougher.

It will definitely not taste good if steamed, but it is quite good for braising, or simply frying it in oil.

"It's braised!"

Liu Lei nodded.

What Zhao Dahai said was right. Skinned fish of this size tastes better when braised. It’s not that it tastes bad if steamed, but the taste is far inferior.

Liu Lei picked out two or three pounds of large shrimps and a dozen or so orchid crabs before he stopped.

Zhao Dahai watched Liu Lei pick up the lines and pour the remaining things in the basket into the net cage not far away.

"Brother Dahai!"

“This net cage is truly amazing!”

"How did you catch so many fish?"

Liu Lei took the basket and went to the kitchen, put it down and walked back. He waited for a while, and then put the net cage back into the sea, where there were fish again.

The net cage just now contained nearly 250 kilograms of fish. Although they were all various kinds of fish, many of them, especially the shrimps and crabs that I picked out to eat, were very valuable, not to mention that there were actually some large sea bass and black sea bream in it.

Liu Lei already knew that this net cage here can catch a lot of fish. Since the fishing moratorium began, he has caught even more fish. In the past two days, he has been catching schools of black sea bream.

"This matter is really hard to describe! Who could have imagined that something like this would happen?"

"It can only be described as pie in the sky."

Zhao Dahai is not joking.

This net cage at the fish paddock is really pie in the sky.

I am a very good fisherman, but I can't see how entering a fish raft in this place would have such benefits.

This only appeared after the fish farm was built.

There was really no way to know about this kind of thing in advance, after all, there was nothing on the entire sea at that time.

The main reason why the net cages can catch so many fish, shrimps and crabs is that there is flowing water here. Before the fish farm was built, no one could see this flowing water.

"Why should we care about this? Anyway, this net cage can catch so many fish, so they are ours, no one can care about it."

"Actually, many people in Shijiao Village are talking about this, but they really can't do anything about you, Brother Dahai."

Liu Lei had heard about this matter from many people a long time ago, and some people even said that Zhao Dahai had to give up the fish rack.

This is something that only someone with a mental problem would say.

How could Zhao Dahai agree to such a thing?

Or in other words, are there any ways for these people to deal with Zhao Dahai?
People who say such things are just envious or jealous, but what they say is of no use at all.

Zhao Dahai would ignore them and they had no way to deal with him.

"The fish farm is not only a place where you can raise a lot of fish, but the most important thing is that you can really catch a lot of fish here."

"This matter can no longer be concealed. It has already spread out. The people in Shijiao Village or other people will definitely say something like this."

"I just talked about this with my second grandfather not long ago."

"It doesn't matter what kind of person they are or what they say. They have their own mouths, and we have no way to stop them from saying what they want to say."

"Just don't talk about this in front of us!"

"If someone really has a mental problem one day and comes to me and tells me about this, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhao Dahai knew very well that weaklings would always be picked on by others. He did get a huge bargain in the fish fillet business, but this huge bargain did not fall from the sky. He paid real money for it. He was just a little luckier.

No matter how much you talk about this kind of thing, the truth is always on your side.

No matter who they are, you have no control over what they say behind your back, but if they say it to your face, don't blame me for being rude.

"Correct!"

"That's what it has to be!"

"If anyone is so blind, don't blame us for being rude!"

Liu Lei looked at the fish cages one by one.

This fish fillet belongs to Zhao Dahai, but he and Shi Guangming each have a share.

Whoever wants to take over the fish farm wants to make things difficult for himself, Zhao Dahai and Shi Guangming.

Zhao Dahai, Shi Guangming and I are not the kind of people who can be easily dealt with. It is not the case that we can be bullied by anyone who wants to. On the contrary, we are definitely not people who can be easily messed with.

"rest assured!"

"There are definitely people who say all kinds of things, and they are definitely not few!"

"But if we talk about people who want to talk to us directly, there probably aren't many people like that."

"If someone really does something like this, just like you said, don't blame us." Zhao Dahai was very calm. He really was not worried about this matter at all.

After Liu Lei pulled the fish out of the net cage, he immediately went to pull the ground cage.

The net cage has an iron gourd, but the ground cage is not so convenient.

Liu Lei wanted to do more work and shed more tears, so he just did it with his own hands.

Liu Lei had a very beautiful idea, but when he pulled up the first trap it was barely OK, but when he tried to pull up the second trap he couldn't hold it anymore. Halfway through he couldn't pull it up, so he had to let go and put it back into the sea.

"Why is it so heavy?"

Liu Lei took big bites of his clothes, which were already completely soaked. Sweat kept dripping down his forehead, and it almost made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"The water here is quite deep, and the traps are quite large, so how can they be pulled up easily?"

Zhao Shi left, looked at Liu Lei and shook his head.

The water here is indeed quite deep, and these traps are relatively large and heavy, and there are quite a few fish in them. However, Liu Lei is in good health and has plenty of strength, so even if he can't pull up many, he won't be unable to pull up more than two.

Why is this happening?

Liu Lei is really too fat now.

I've been eating too much during this period!
"Liu Lei!"

"You are a little fat boy now. If you continue like this, you will really become a big fat boy!"

"How old are you? How can you be like this?!"

Zhao Shi was not polite at all and started scolding Liu Lei directly.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Haven't you been eating and drinking a lot recently?"

"Business in the restaurant is really good. There are so many people eating here every day that I have to go to every table to have a drink or something."

"I didn't expect to gain so much weight all of a sudden!"

"I came to the fish farm thinking of going fishing with Brother Dahai. After a while of busy work, I lost weight all of a sudden!"

Liu Lei was a little helpless.

I know my own body very well. In the past, even if I couldn't pull up seven or eight such traps, pulling up three or five would be no problem at all.

Now it's really too fat.

I have known for a long time that gaining so much weight will definitely affect my health, but I didn't expect the impact to be so great. Now I am gasping for breath and my lungs are almost bursting.

"Correct!"

“There’s nothing wrong with doing this!”

"When Zhao Dahai is working, you should go out with him and do more work."

"If you can't lose this little bit of fat on your body, don't come back."

Zhao Shi looked Liu Lei up and down and nodded. This was really the only way to do it.

"The sea."

"Keep an eye on this kid when we go out to sea. Make him work harder and don't show any leniency."

Zhao Shi turned his head and looked at Zhao Dahai.

"Row!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Don't worry! I will definitely keep an eye on it!"

“It will definitely be reduced!”

"Work harder and sweat more."

Zhao Dahai agreed with a smile.

This matter is actually not a big problem, or it is actually an easy thing to do.

Liu Lei went fishing with him, helped with the work more, was exposed to the wind and sun, and ate and drank less. He would definitely be able to lose weight in ten days or half a month.

It's getting darker.

A row of brightly lit lights.

Zhao Dahai, Liu Lei, Zhao Shi, Zhong Cuihua, Huang Jintao, Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and others gathered together to eat.

"If we were on the ninth floor at this time, we would have to drink a lot of alcohol!"

Liu Lei drank a bowl of fish soup and couldn't help but think that if he was on the ninth floor at this time, he must have drunk a lot of wine and eaten a lot.

I have fished on the grid and pulled the trap. I am tired indeed, but after sweating so much, I feel very comfortable after drinking a bowl of fish soup and eating something. I can really feel that my body is different from before.

"No need to worry about the restaurant business."

"The world will continue to rotate as usual no matter who is gone."

"Hongyun Restaurant has already been on the right track."

"Your father is watching right there, how could there be any problem?"

"Besides, even if your father is not there, he can keep a good eye on the people on the ninth floor."

Zhao Dahai knew that Liu Lei said this because he was a little worried about the restaurant's business. In fact, there was really no need to worry.

Liu Lei nodded a little embarrassedly. He was really worried about the restaurant's business. What Zhao Dahai said was right. There was really no need to worry.

The restaurant has been in business for so many years and has enough experienced staff. Even if himself, including his father Liu Gang, are not there, the restaurant can still do business and the business will not be affected.

Not to mention that Yang Qin was watching there, and another thing was that if I left the restaurant, I, Liu Gang, would definitely be there.

No matter how you look at it, there's really no need to worry.

"Row!"

"Now that I know about this, I can go fishing and work with you at ease!"

Liu Lei took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, patted his legs, and no longer mentioned the restaurant.

"what?"

"There are big fishing boats coming back from the dock, and there are several of them at once."

"Brother Dahai, didn't you say that Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei and their team would be back today? Or would they be back tomorrow?"

"Are these ships theirs?"

The place where Liu Lei was sitting was right in front of the brightly lit pier. It was not too far away, and he could see clearly that four large sea fishing boats were approaching the pier and were stopping.

When Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi heard this, they immediately turned their heads and nodded. The four large seagoing vessels that had just sailed towards the dock were the fleet of Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhongwei and He Jian.

"grandmother!"

"We'll go to the dock with Ding Ailian and take a look."

"Maybe I still have to work or something, I don't know when I'll be back."

"You and Second Grandma should go to bed if you are tired."

As soon as Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei's ship came back, they would definitely go over to take a look.

Ding Ailian hadn't seen Shi Zhongwei for such a long time and she must have wanted to see how many fish were caught on this trip. She would follow him to the dock in a while.

"Go!"

"Just go and do your own thing!"

Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded.

Zhao Dahai, Liu Lei, Zhao Shi and Ding Ailian quickly finished their dinner, got on the speedboat and drove straight to the pier.
