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

Chapter 1516 Zhao Dahai's Target Fish

"Ding Dawen!"

"How many sea bass did Zhao Dahai and his team catch today?"

When Shi Guangming saw that Ding Dawen had finished his work, he shouted and waved.

"Grandpa Stone".

"I really don't know the exact weight, we haven't weighed it yet!"

"But Zhao Dahai's speedboat should weigh around 5,000 jin, and the other speedboat, which is the one belonging to Uncle Dayou and his crew, should weigh around 3,000 jin."

"If you add it all up, it definitely won't be 10,000 jin, but it will definitely be around 80,000 jin without any problem."

Ding Dawen walked over, pulled out a stool and sat down. He filled a bowl with rice and ate several large mouthfuls.

"Zhao Dahai can catch so many fish every day and make money like this every day!"

"If this continues, who knows how much money Zhao Dahai has actually made in three to five years?"

Shi Guangming really couldn't hold back any longer.

Zhao Dahai catches so many fish every day he goes out to sea that it's hard to describe the feeling.

"Why are you making such a fuss? It's not like Zhao Dahai only caught this fish on his first day. He catches this many fish almost every day."

Zhao Shi was startled by Shi Guangming's sudden shout, his hand trembled, and the match he was trying to light went out.

Although Zhao Dahai doesn't catch this many fish every time he goes out to sea, he has caught this many fish many times, and sometimes he even catches more than the current eight thousand catties.

Shi Guangming really doesn't need to make such a fuss.

"How come you can't even figure this out?"

"If it's just one or two times, what's so special about catching this many fish?"

"If you can catch this many fish every day when you go out to sea, that's truly impressive, or rather, only by doing that can you earn more money."

"If Zhao Dahai only catches this many fish occasionally, I'll just be surprised."

Shi Guangming glanced at Zhao Shi. If Zhao Dahai really only caught so many fish once or twice occasionally, he wouldn't think much of it.

"Correct!"

"Grandpa Shi, what you said is absolutely right!"

"What's truly amazing about Zhao Dahai is that he can catch so many fish almost every time he goes out to sea!"

Ding Dawen strongly agreed with Shi Guangming's statement.

What's frightening about Zhao Dahai is that he catches so many fish almost every time he goes out to sea, rather than only occasionally.

Zhao Shi had no way to refute it; that was simply the truth.

"Second Grandpa."

"So the two of us aren't going out fishing with Zhao Dahai tomorrow morning, right? If that's the case, I won't wake you two up tomorrow morning. You can get a good night's sleep."

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming nodded. Zhao Dahai had already agreed on this matter: neither of them would come out tomorrow and would stay on the big fishing boat.

"Are the waves really going to be pretty big tomorrow?"

Shi Guangming remembered this matter and, while speaking, turned his head to look at the sea next to the large fishing boat.

"I feel like nothing has changed. The big fishing boat is just as smooth as before, and there are no obvious waves on the sea."

Shi Guangming really couldn't feel that the weather had changed at this time of year.

"It's not particularly noticeable yet, but the weather tomorrow definitely won't be good; the wind and waves will be quite strong."

"The seawater is actually starting to get a bit murky now!"

Ding Dawen is no longer a novice with little experience who just started going to sea.

Having spent so much time sailing the big fishing boat with Zhao Dahai, going out to sea to fish, he has already learned a lot.

Shi Guangming wasn't ignorant of these things; he simply hadn't paid any special attention to what the seawater was like at this moment.

I had been busy hoisting the sea bass that Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu had caught from the speedboat onto the large fishing boat. Under the lights, the surface of the sea was clearly visible.

The waves don't look particularly big right now, but when the sea changes like this, it often means that the weather has changed, and the waves are already picking up in places further away, and they're not going to be small.

Shi Guangming was stunned for a moment, realizing he hadn't noticed this at all. He immediately stood up, walked to the side of the large fishing boat, and looked down at the sea. Under the lights, it was very clear that the seawater had indeed become somewhat murky.

"How come I didn't notice this?"

"Zhao Dahai must have given up on this a long time ago, which is why he told us not to go out to sea with the speedboat!"

Shi Guangming walked back, pulled out a stool, and sat down.

Only now do I truly understand why Zhao Dahai wanted me and Zhao Shi to avoid going out to sea fishing on the speedboat tomorrow.

Based on his years of experience, he knew very well that if the seawater became murky at this time, the wind and waves tomorrow would be unpredictable. It was just that the distance was relatively far and they hadn't arrived here yet.

"Zhao Shi".

"Should we tell Zhao Dahai not to go fishing at sea tomorrow? It looks like the waves are really going to be quite big!"

Shi Guangming glanced at Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi frowned, about to nod, but then remembered that Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were all very experienced.

"We don't need to worry about this."

"Zhao Dahai isn't a three-year-old child."

"They certainly don't spend as much time at sea as we do, but in terms of experience, they might not have less than us."

“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou have been fishing at sea for much longer. They have at least twenty years of experience.”

"If you can't even tell what kind of wind and waves are suitable for fishing and what kind of wind and waves are unsuitable for fishing, then what kind of situation is this?"

Zhao Shi was initially a little worried about this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized there was really no need for it.

"Okay!" "You're right!"

“We really don’t need to worry about this. Zhao Dahai and the others definitely know about it.”

"Come on!"

"We don't need to get involved in this kind of thing!"

"After we've eaten and drunk our fill and rested for a while, we'll go back to sleep!"

"By the time I wake up tomorrow, it might already be noon!"

"It's hard to say whether there are many fish, shrimp, and crabs in the sea. Zhao Dahai and the others have already finished fishing and returned!"

Shi Guangming simply stopped paying attention to the matter.

Zhao Dahai is truly different from others. Whether it's his skill in finding fish or his experience at sea, he is incredibly skilled.

Often, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou wanted to fish more and make more money, but they were also willing to take risks.

However, Zhao Dahai always remained very calm at these times and would not force himself to go out to sea to fish just to catch more fish or make more money.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Ding Dawen hesitated for a moment after looking at the waves on the sea, but still went to the cabin and called Zhao Dahai.

What do you think of the current state of the storm?

Ding Dawen and Zhao Dahai, who had boarded the fishing boat together, pointed to the sea illuminated by the lights, seemingly unsure of what to do.

It's not extremely large, but it's not too small either.

Zhao Dahai carefully examined the sea surface.

The waves were indeed quite large.

Zhao Dahai knew very well that fishing in such rough seas was very hard work, but fishing in such rough seas also had great advantages. It was hard to say about fishing for other fish, but fishing for threadfin bream was definitely not a problem, and there was a good chance of catching a big threadfin bream.

Does this mean we still have to go out to sea?
Zhao Dahai didn't make up his mind immediately but pondered it carefully.

"Zhao Dahai".

"How can Fontaine not go out to sea to fish in a place like this? We're not going too far. We can book our big fishing boat right here in the island and reef foam area without any problem!"

Zhong Shizhu walked up to Zhao Dahai and glanced at the sea, knowing what Zhao Dahai was hesitating about.

The waves were indeed quite large, with both speedboats bobbing and rocking on the surface, which must have been very uncomfortable. But the problem was that such waves presented a great opportunity to catch a big fish.

"Brother Dahai!"

"Uncle Shizhu is absolutely right. With these kinds of waves, we have to go out to sea to fish, and we have to go out to sea to fish right now!"

Liu Lei walked over quickly. They had already agreed last night to go fishing at sea early this morning, but when he got up, he found that Zhao Dahai hadn't called them. When he went out of the cabin, he found that the wind and waves were indeed bigger than expected. He immediately knew what was going on, but he wasn't worried at all. Instead, he was a little excited, thinking that this kind of weather was perfect for fishing at sea.

"Liu Lei."

"I think it's better for you to stay on this big fishing boat in this kind of weather. Going out to sea would be really uncomfortable. You're not used to the ocean, so it's best not to go out to sea. Otherwise, I reckon you'll be seasick."

Liu Bin glanced at the sea, his expression somewhat grave. He and his men, who had been fishing at sea for years, were quite used to it and had no problems at all. But Liu Lei was really not up to the task. In fact, even he and Zhong Shizhu had some trouble handling him, let alone someone like Liu Lei.

"How can this be?"

"No matter what, I definitely have to go out to sea with them! Even if I'm seasick and dizzy, I have to give it a try, right?"

Without a second thought, Liu Lei immediately decided that he absolutely had to go out to sea. If he didn't go out to sea, he really wouldn't be able to understand what fishing was all about in this kind of weather. Besides, he wasn't a professional sea fisherman, and if he missed this opportunity, it wouldn't be easy to find another one like this.

"Liu Lei."

"Going fishing at sea in this kind of weather is really uncomfortable. You really need to think this over carefully."

Zhao Dahai nodded. Liu Bin and the others were right. Fishing at sea in this kind of weather is a huge challenge. Liu Lei doesn't usually go out to sea much, so he's probably not used to this kind of sea.

Is it really that scary?

Liu Lei was a little skeptical.

"This is more painful than you can imagine."

"It's only the wind and waves that make it work. If it's a big fishing boat, there's not much of a problem. Like right now, we're on this big fishing boat, and we don't really feel anything, or rather, we're very comfortable."

"But if we were on a speedboat right now, it would be a completely different story. Just like you are now, look at these two speedboats on the sea, and imagine what it would be like if a person were on them."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he turned around and looked at the speedboat that was bobbing up and down on the sea at this moment.

Liu Lei currently feels that going out to sea for fishing, especially in such rough seas, is not a big problem, and he thinks he can handle it. But in reality, that may not be the case.

Even people like myself and Zhong Shizhu, who go out to sea to fish year after year, might not be able to withstand it and might get seasick. It's just that when we get seasick, we don't feel particularly bad, or rather, we've long been used to it.

Liu Lei or others really couldn't withstand such a storm, needless to say, they still had to go fishing.

"Brother Dahai."

“I understand what you mean, but I still want to go out to sea and try it out, to see what fishing in such winds and waves is really like.”

Liu Lei gritted his teeth, knowing that if Zhao Dahai said that, it meant that going out to sea to fish in this kind of weather was no joke, but he really wanted to give it a try.

Zhao Dahai nodded. If Liu Lei insisted on going to sea, then let him go. He was young and could handle it. Even if he was vomiting like crazy, it didn't matter.

"Zhao Dahai".

"Are we going out to sea to fish now? With these waves, I think we should be able to catch some big threadfin bream!"

Lei Dayou pointed in the direction of the island and reef foam area. Zhao Dahai had clearly decided to go fishing at sea, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to tell Liu Lei about this.

"Correct!"

"The current is very strong, with strong winds and currents. There are only two possibilities in the foamy area of ​​the island reef: one is that you can catch large sea bass, possibly weighing around 30 pounds, and the other is that you can catch threadfin bream. We caught a lot of threadfin bream in that area. The current is perfect today."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. He had indeed decided to go fishing at sea, and his target for the day was either a large, valuable threadfin bream or a large sea bass.
