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

Chapter 1467 Caught! Really Caught!
"Correct!"

"In fact, this matter is really obvious."

"For people like me who go fishing, we definitely hope that the fishing moratorium will last as long as possible. We don't want it to end. Another big advantage of the fishing moratorium is that the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are higher."

"The price of a pound of fish can increase by at least 30% during the fishing moratorium, or even double or triple. Who wouldn't want to make money by fishing during this period?"

Zhao Dahai reminded Liu Lei that another huge benefit of the fishing moratorium is that the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are very high, which is really beneficial for people like them who go out to sea to fish.

Liu Lei was even more speechless.

During the fishing moratorium, fishing boats that set out fishing nets to catch fish are not allowed to go out to sea. The number of fish, shrimps and crabs caught, or the number of fish, shrimps and crabs on the market, has decreased dramatically, and the prices have risen sharply, especially for those fresh and lively species.

Other people who go out to sea to fish cannot catch too many fish, but they can make more money during the fishing moratorium. Not to mention people like Zhao Dahai who can catch several thousand kilograms of fish every day. They must very much hope that the fishing moratorium can continue.

"Ugh!"

"Brother Dahai!"

"According to what you said, I also hope that the fishing moratorium will never end."

Liu Lei thought about it and found that he and Zhao Dahai had almost the same idea, which was that they really hoped that the fishing moratorium would never end.

why?
The fishing moratorium actually has a huge impact on seafood restaurants like ours, but this impact only occurs when we can't get enough fresh fish, shrimps and crabs.

On the contrary, if you can get enough fresh fish, shrimps and crabs, this is the best opportunity to make more money by doing business.

Why has the Hongyun Restaurant developed so fast in the past one or two years?

One is that his business management is very good and the dishes are very delicious. Another huge influencing factor is that the sea bass, black porgy and very valuable grouper caught by Zhao Dahai are all fresh and fierce, and even in the fishing moratorium, such fish are still very abundant.

The competitors of Hongyun Restaurant are unable to obtain sufficient supply of goods. In this case, even if they have great skills, they are powerless without the necessary resources.

"what!"

"Correct!"

"That's true. The same is true for your Hongyun Restaurant. I really hope that the fishing moratorium will never end."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. In fact, it was really like that.

But this is impossible.

"Why don't you pull up the cage? It's been a while since you went into the ocean. Pull it up and see what fish are in there."

Lei Dayou took a sip of the soup and suddenly remembered what Zhao Dahai had said to him and his people, that the cages placed by Liu Lei and Ding Dawen were likely to have caught groupers.

"Is it necessary to pull it up now? It hasn't been in the sea for long!"

Liu Lei hesitated.

The cage had indeed been put into the sea, and had been there for a whole day and a night.

If we could really catch something, it would be almost done now.

But generally speaking, it is safer to leave the cage for a longer time so that more fish, shrimps and crabs can be caught.

"We were fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area during the day. I told you about it during our break. It's basically impossible to catch flower snails in this cage, but there's a good chance of catching grouper."

"Don't we have to go fishing tomorrow? It will be night by the time we come back. This will take a long time. Why don't we pull up a cage now to see if there are any fish? If there are any, we can continue pulling. If not, we can just leave the remaining cages unpulled."

Like Lei Dayou, Liu Bin was very curious about what could be caught in the cages that Liu Lei and Ding Dawen put in the sea.

Liu Lei suddenly remembered that he really had to go fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat tomorrow. Now he pulled up the cage to take a look. Besides, it wouldn't matter if he only pulled up one cage.

Liu Lei recovered well and immediately stood up and walked towards the bow of the fishing boat where a cage was placed.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Ding Dawen saw it and immediately walked over and started pulling the cage together.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Do you really think these cages can catch grouper?"

Shi Guangming was very curious.

"It's really unlikely that there will be any chance of success with the flower snail, but the chances of success with the grouper are actually quite high."

Zhao Dahai nodded. He really felt that these cages had a good chance of catching groupers, and that they caught quite a few.

"If you can really do grouper, that would be a great thing."

"Could it be that this seabed is a place where groupers can grow?"

Shi Guangming didn't care about this matter at first.

If Ding Dawen's fishing boat stopped at this place, he would definitely be setting up cages or fishing.

Another way to kill time is to fish or catch some fish, shrimps, crabs or anything else you can eat.

The last time we stopped our fishing boat at this place, we caught a lot of snails, which can be sold for a lot of money.

But the flower snail has been around for so long, so I don't know where it went.

Or maybe they had all been caught a long time ago and there weren't many left.

Even if you can make money, you won’t make much, not much.

Without the flower snails, these cages can definitely catch fish, but they are probably some stone bass or some other not-so-valuable fish.

What Zhao Dahai is talking about now is being able to catch grouper, which is a very valuable fish. And once one of these cages can catch a grouper, the others will have a chance.

This is a very valuable fish.

Not to mention that every cage can catch them, even if only half of the cages are used, it would be a great thing to catch some groupers.

What is more crucial is the grouper. As long as it is found in one place, it is very likely to be found again in the future. This means that Ding Dawen chose this place to stop his fishing boat, and it is very likely that he will be able to catch grouper in the future.

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Who can say for sure? But soon we will know whether we can catch grouper or not."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he walked over and saw Liu Lei and Liu Bin at the head of the bed, who were pulling the cage, and it had already been pulled away from the bottom of the sea. It would not take much time to pull it out of the water.

Shi Guangming and his family really couldn't sit still anymore. They put down the wine glasses in their hands, stood up, and walked over quickly.

"Zhao Dahai."

"You can't be serious, you don't really think these cages can catch you?"

Like Shi Guangming, Zhao Shi did not believe that the cages placed by Ding Dawen and Liu Lei could catch groupers. His idea was very simple: if there really were groupers that could be caught, shouldn't they have been able to catch them the last time the cages were placed?
"Second Grandpa!"

"Hasn't this been mentioned just now? It's just that there's a possibility that he can be caught, and the possibility is very high, but whether it can really be done, we'll know in a moment!"

Zhao Dahai felt a little dumbfounded.

Second Grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming didn't quite believe this, and both thought it was unlikely that they could catch grouper with these cages now, but in fact it was very likely that they could catch it. Zhao Shi thought about it, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and walked to the bow.

Zhao Dahai smiled, but did not go over. He continued to eat his meal and drink his soup.

Others, including the second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, who had many years of experience in fishing, were a little skeptical that these cages could catch grouper.

In fact, it is not like this.

These cages not only have a chance of catching grouper, but in fact the chances are very high.

"Brother Dawen!"

"How is it? Do you think this cage can catch a grouper?"

Liu Lei stood beside Ding Dawen and watched the cage being pulled up continuously, feeling a little nervous.

When I put the cage, I didn't think too much. I just wanted to catch fish, shrimps and crabs. I almost never thought about catching grouper.

But when Zhao Dahai said that these cages might be able to catch grouper, he suddenly became very excited:

If other people said something like this, I really wouldn't take it to heart, thinking that they were just talking casually, but that's not what Zhao Dahai said.

This is different. I really think these cages are likely to catch grouper.

"I'm not sure about this, but it looks like there are definitely fish in the cage now, and there are quite a lot of fish, or the fish are quite big."

Ding Dawen shook his head. He really didn't know if he could catch the grouper, but the things in the cage were indeed not light at this moment.

"what?"

"How can you tell that?"

Liu Lei was a little confused. He didn't know what was going on and why Ding Dawen said that.

"Isn't this obvious? The cage is being pulled now, isn't the crane making a loud noise?"

"If there's nothing in the cage, how could it make such a sound?"

Zhong Shizhu pointed to the crane that was pulling the cage.

His voice sounded very excited when he spoke.

There must be fish, shrimps and crabs in the cage that is being pulled, and there must be quite a lot of them, but we just have to see if it is the grouper that Zhao Dahai just mentioned.

If it is a grouper, one is larger and the other is smaller, but there are more of them. In other words, there are not just one or two groupers.

"Correct!"

"There must be fish, shrimps and crabs in the cage. I just need to see what they look like!"

Liu Bin was also very excited.

It is not known yet whether there is a grouper in the cage, but it is very likely that it is a grouper.

Lei Da didn't say anything, but he had already walked to the bow of the fishing boat and was looking down at the cage that was being pulled toward the sea.

"Old man Zhao."

"Why do I feel more and more that what Zhao Dahai said is absolutely right? Can groupers really be caught in the cage?"

Shi Guangming rubbed his nose hard.

At the beginning, I really didn't quite believe this, but now that I see the cage being pulled up and it's very heavy, I don't know why I suddenly feel that this possibility is very high.

"what!"

“If the cage can really catch grouper, then this position is another incredible one!”

Zhao Shi was very happy.

"I'm coming!"

"The cage is coming!"

Lei Dayou shouted loudly, and under the light, a huge cage was slowly being pulled out of the water.

"There are fish."

"what!"

"This fish is quite big!"

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai is really amazing. The fish in the cage are really groupers, and they are two big groupers weighing 50 to 60 kilograms!"

Lei Dayou roared loudly.

The cage was completely pulled out of the water, and it was clear at a glance that there were two large bluefin breams of fairly good size inside.

Lei Dayou was very excited and very thrilled.

Not only are the blue groupers larger in size and therefore very valuable, but more importantly, they are groupers caught in cages, not fished.

"Hurry up!"

"Pull up the cage quickly!"

Liu Lei was really anxious now and shouted loudly.

After the crane continued to pull up for a while, the big cage was placed on the deck of the fishing boat.

The sea water was constantly flowing out, and the two big blue spots in the cage were struggling constantly, swinging their tails and making crackling sounds.

Liu Lei ignored the splashing sea water and immediately walked to the side of the cage, opened it and poured out the blue spots inside.

"Liu Lei!"

"What are you doing? If you really follow others to go fishing or catch fish and do something like this, you will definitely be scolded!"

Zhong Shizhu couldn't help laughing and scolding when he saw Liu Lei throwing the green-spotted straight sword out of the cage and onto the deck without thinking twice.

A fish of this size is actually very difficult to deal with. Even now, it is already on the deck in this state, shaking its head and tail with great strength. It will definitely be impossible to catch it in a short time.

If you insist on doing this, you might get hurt.

An experienced person actually has to bring the basket first and pour the fish in the cage into the basket, so that the fish cannot escape.

Liu Lei fell directly on the deck. Firstly, it was very difficult to catch the fish because he had to wait until the fish had no strength left. Second, the fish was struggling constantly and could be easily injured. The giant grouper had to be kept alive so that it could be sold at a higher price and more money could be made.

Zhong Shizhu was not joking. If Liu Lei did this, he would really be scolded by the captain.
