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

Chapter 1466: Stressful!

"It's not that I can't stand being on the fishing boat, but I can't stand having nothing to do for a whole day. I'm used to being busy, and it's really hard to get used to stopping all of a sudden. I really can't stand it."

Liu Lei shook his head and sighed.

The big fishing boat was very stable, in fact it was very good, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, together with Ding Dawen and some other people working on the fishing boat were not bored, but they were just idle and a little bit unbearable.

This time I went out to sea not to play, I came to work and lose fat.

"what!"

"I think you just couldn't stand seeing Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu catch so many fish without being on the speedboat!"

Shi Guangming smiled. He knew very well what was going on.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught a lot of sea bass yesterday and caught a lot of sea bass again today.

Liu Lei was on the speedboat yesterday, but he was not on the speedboat today and did not see how they fished. It was really a bit unbearable.

"Grandpa Shi."

"You are right, that is exactly what happened."

Liu Lei thought about it carefully and found that it was true. He had been wondering all day on the fishing boat how many fish Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu had caught.

I waited and watched Zhao Dahai’s two speedboats return. When I saw the several thousand kilograms of sea bass on the speedboats, I really regretted why I didn’t go out to sea with them.

"You can just follow us out early tomorrow morning, but the tide will be a little later tomorrow, so we probably won't be out to sea that early, probably around eight o'clock."

Zhao Dahai nodded. Going out to sea to fish was just a piece of cake for him. Liu Lei could go out whenever he wanted and go fishing with them. However, the tide would not flow so early tomorrow, so he would still have time to go to the island reefs and foam at 8 o'clock.

"what?"

"This late in the tide?"

Liu Lei was stunned for a moment.

Generally speaking, people go fishing at sea at three or four in the morning, or at four or five in the morning, but Zhao Dahai just said that we will go out to sea at around eight o'clock.

"We are now going to the island reef foam area from the fishing boat, not from the village. There is no need to go so early. We can go to the island reef foam area when the water starts to flow."

"Tomorrow we will fish for sea bass just like the past two days, and we will fish for sea bass in the island reef foam area. If we go to a place like this on an artificial island to fish for grouper, we will have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhao Dahai nodded. Tomorrow's tide will be relatively late, so it will be in time to go fishing at 8 o'clock. It may even be a little too early. The place where the fishing boat is parked is not far from the island and reef foam area, and it can be reached in more than half an hour.

If you want to go fishing at sea at around three or four in the morning, you have to go out to sea from the village instead of from the fishing boat. The difference is huge.

Liu Lei patted his forehead and really forgot about this matter.

"correct!"

"Brother Dahai."

“When did we get rid of the grouper?”

When Liu Lei heard Zhao Dahai talking about fishing for grouper, he immediately remembered that he had been fishing for sea bass in the past few days.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all looked at Zhao Dahai when they heard what Liu Lei said. They had really been fishing for sea bass these days and hadn't gone fishing for grouper for a few days.

"Uncle Dayou."

"You guys don't want to go fishing for grouper, do you?"

When Zhao Dahai saw the expressions on Zhong Shizhu, Liu Ping and Lei Dayou's faces, he knew that they must be thinking about whether to go fishing for grouper.

"what!"

"Sea bass is profitable, and it's a lot of money, but grouper is more fun."

Lei Dayou smiled and nodded.

You can catch tens of thousands of pounds of sea bass a day, and the money you make is really just as good as that of grouper.

But no matter what, I really want to catch grouper rather than sea bass.

“Who doesn’t want to fish for grouper?”

"One reason is that grouper is more valuable, and the other more important thing is that other people on duty may only catch one or two or even none at all in a day."

"But for us, we can catch a grouper weighing several hundred kilograms or even several thousand kilograms in a day. If you calculate it this way, fishing for grouper is actually very good."

Liu Bin grabbed a chicken leg and took a big bite.

When other people go out to sea to fish for grouper, generally speaking it is a great achievement if they can catch three or five in a day.

If people like us are like this, then fishing for sea bass will definitely be more profitable.

The key to the problem is that Zhao Dahai takes his people to artificial islands and reefs or other places to fish for grouper. Every trip he can catch hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of grouper. If you calculate it this way, the money earned from fishing for grouper is very impressive.

If they say that they don’t want to catch grouper, that would be nonsense. In fact, they really want to catch grouper.

"It's actually been pretty good fishing for grouper these days, but if there are sea bass in the sea, I'd definitely go for the sea bass first."

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

"Why is it like this?"

Liu Lei found it very strange.

It is true that sea bass can catch a lot of fish and can make money, but if you really have to do it, you can still make more money by fishing for grouper.

"The biggest difference between sea bass and grouper is not which one is better to catch, but which one is easier to catch."

"The main point is that if we don't catch the sea bass, someone else will."

"As for grouper, they are at a deeper depth on the seafloor."

"Especially the grouper on the artificial island reef is very difficult to catch."

"Even if we didn't go fishing for the big grouper there, it would be difficult for others to catch those groupers. In other words, if we don't go fishing for sea bass, others will catch them. As for grouper, if we don't go fishing, no one will catch too many in a few days."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that grouper was indeed more valuable. And fishing for grouper was not a difficult thing for him, but it was a little more difficult for others, while fishing for sea bass was easier for others.

If you want to make more money, you must first fish for the easy ones.

The hard-to-catch groupers should just be left there. Liu Lei, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finally understood what was going on.

"what!"

"Brother Dahai!"

"I didn't expect you to have such an idea, but it's really like this!"

"How can it be so easy to catch fish in the sea, especially groupers? Even if you spend eight or ten days fishing, you may not be able to catch groupers."

"That means Brother Dahai, the food in your bowl is just a matter of eating it a day earlier or a day later!"

"The most important thing is that these groupers generally don't move to other places, they stay in one place."

“The sea bass here in the reef bubble area are different.”

"One is that these sea bass follow the tides, coming and going, and if you don't fish for them, you really don't know where they've gone to."

"More importantly, these sea bass are easy for others to catch. If we don't catch them, wouldn't it be a waste for others?"

Liu Lei is a very smart person, but he rarely goes out to sea, so he doesn't think about this matter much. When Zhao Dahai said this, he immediately reacted, or understood what was going on.

Zhao Dahai's method is very simple, that is, he catches the easy ones first, or the ones that are easily caught by others first. As for those fish that are more difficult for others to catch, there is no problem in waiting to catch them later.

Simply put, eat what is easy to eat first, take a little food or what others cannot finish, it doesn’t matter when you eat it.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"When it comes to fishing, you really have to be the best. Others really can't compare."

Shi Guangming admires Zhao Dahai very much. He is really amazing. It is not just about being able to find out where the fish are and being able to think of ways to fish. What is more important is that Zhao Dahai knows how to catch the most fish.

If other people can catch grouper and sea bass at the same time, most people will not choose to fish for grouper. This is because the price of grouper will be higher and they can make more money. However, Zhao Dahai now chooses to fish for sea bass and can wait for the grouper.

This kind of choice or this kind of judgment is really not something that ordinary people can notice.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that what Zhao Dahai did is absolutely correct.

"It's not so easy to make money now. You must try every possible way. This is the most important thing."

"There are too many people fishing at sea now, especially during the fishing moratorium. If you don't figure out some methods, it's really difficult to catch more fish, especially if you want to avoid other people."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that he was really good at fishing, but even though he was very good at fishing, he still faced a lot of pressure. The biggest one was that there were too many fishing boats or speedboats fishing.

If there are only one or two of these people, it won't be dangerous for you to shop, but if there are too many of them, it will be very troublesome.

"Didn't they say that the fishing moratorium has begun and we can catch more fish?"

Zhao Shi was a little strange.

After the fishing moratorium began, I could clearly see that Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish, but now after hearing what Zhao Dahai said, I realized that he did catch a lot of fish, but the pressure was a little greater.

"Second Grandpa."

"We did catch more fish, but there were too many speedboats and fishing boats on the sea, so it was not very convenient to fish."

"Why are we fishing for sea bass or black porgy recently, but less for grouper? The biggest reason is that there are too many fishing boats and speedboats around. If I fish for grouper in one place, it won't work. There will be many speedboats around any time. Even if these people are a little far away, they will still be affected anyway."

Zhao Dahai waved his hand.

After the fishing moratorium began, I spent significantly less time fishing for grouper. It was not because I didn’t want to fish for grouper, but because I decided to go fishing for grouper tomorrow. In addition to the reason I just mentioned, another important reason is that my fishing for grouper will be more affected.

Catching more fish or more fish than before does not mean that it is easier to catch them than before. These are two different things and are not the same thing at all.

Zhao Shi thought about it before he understood what Zhao Dahai meant.

"Zhao Dahai."

"According to what you said, wouldn't it mean that we really hope that the fishing moratorium can end sooner?"

Shi Guangming was really a bit strange now.

Recently, these people have thought about this matter and even discussed it, but everyone's thoughts and opinions are very consistent, that is, after the fishing moratorium begins, there will be only benefits and no disadvantages for Zhao Dahai, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"what!"

"How is that possible? If possible, I hope that fishing will be closed for 365 days a year."

Zhao Dahai shook his head without even thinking. He really didn't want the fishing moratorium to end, but it was not something he had the final say on.

"what?"

"Brother Dahai."

"Why do I become more confused and less understanding the more I listen?"

Liu Lei was the same at this time. He didn't quite understand what Zhao Dahai meant.

One is that it is harder to catch fish during the fishing moratorium, and it is still stressful when there are too many fish.

But the other side does not want the fishing moratorium to end, which is really contradictory.

"What's the contradiction here? What's not clear?"

"It is indeed very difficult to catch fish during the fishing moratorium, but more fish can be caught during the fishing moratorium."

"As long as I can catch more fish, what does it matter if it's hard to catch?"

"What would you choose?"

Zhao Dahai looked at Liu Lei with a smile.

Liu Lei had a little trachoma and scratched his hair hard.

"Need I say more? Of course, we should choose a time like the fishing moratorium, when we can catch more fish."

Liu Lei thought about it carefully for a while and found that there was really no other choice. Even though fishing is more difficult and stressful during the fishing moratorium, he can catch more fish in a season. He will definitely choose this time and there is no other time.
