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

Chapter 1576 really didn't have much of an impact.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua walked out of the cabin while yawning.

"Mr. Wu, you all seem a bit tired. How about we just cancel the fishing trip for now?"

How about taking another day off?

"We're going out to sea to fish tonight, and we'll be fishing all night again."

Seeing that Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and Gao Zhicheng looked extremely tired, Zhao Dahai realized that if they were really going out to sea to fish, they would have to fish until dawn the next day. He, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were already used to this kind of life and had no problem with it, but Gao Zhicheng and the others might not be able to handle it.

Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and Gao Zhicheng shook their heads without hesitation.

"what!"

"Boss Gao."

"There's really no need to be in such a hurry. We just asked Zhao Dahai, and the chances of catching a big grouper today are not very high, especially those weighing over 100 pounds. We might not catch a single one, and only catch smaller ones."

Zhong Shizhu knew very well that Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua only wanted to catch large grouper, and didn't really want to catch the smaller ones, but it was very likely that they really wouldn't be able to catch any large ones today.

From this perspective, there really isn't much need to go fishing at sea today. You can wait until later, when you're rested, have more energy, and are in better spirits before going out to fish.

"Correct!"

"It's really unlikely that we'll catch any giant grouper today. Even if we do, we don't know how many we'll catch. I wonder who will have that kind of opportunity."

"Zhao Dahai is 100% certain he can catch it, but none of us know who has that kind of luck."

After finishing his meal, Liu Bin picked up his bowl and drank half a bowl of fish soup in one gulp, then patted his stomach with great satisfaction.

You'll definitely catch fish today, and quite a lot of them, but catching a grouper weighing over 100 pounds is really unlikely.

Even if someone manages to catch it, that person is very likely Zhao Dahai.

It's not that we don't have opportunities, but the opportunities are really slim.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua really don't need to rush to go fishing at sea right away. The most important thing is that they get rested, have energy, and are physically fit.

"We just took a speedboat from the dock to get here. It's not that far, so there's no need for us to rest."

"We caught so many big groupers yesterday, so the chances of catching them today are slim. But no matter what, we definitely have to go out to sea with them, at least tonight."

"If we really can't take it anymore, we'll just run to the cabin of the speedboat and sleep."

Wu Weimin pulled out a stool, took a bowl of rice, and immediately began to eat heartily.

Zhao Dahai had already mentioned when he came back last night that he would definitely go fishing at sea today, but the chances of catching a big grouper were not very high.

There's not even a slight possibility.

But no matter what, I, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua will definitely have to go out to sea to fish later.

"Correct!"

"I'm definitely going to go fishing at sea tonight, whether I catch anything or not, I'm going to go fishing with them."

"When can't I sleep and rest if I want to!"

Gao Zhicheng had this idea: no matter what, he had to go out to sea fishing with them tonight.

Zhao Dahai smiled.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua are clearly determined to go sea fishing with us.

"Hurry up and eat! After we finish eating, we'll rest for a bit before heading out to sea!"

Zhao Dahai stopped trying to persuade Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua. Instead, he shouted loudly that they should eat quickly, rest after eating, and make the most of their time to work up a sweat. If they could catch fish, they should; if not, they should come back early to rest.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua stopped talking and ate in silence, finishing their meal in twenty minutes.

Are we setting sail now?

Wu Weimin was a little impatient.

After a satisfying meal, there was only one thing left to do: go out to sea to fish and see if we could catch a fish weighing over 100 pounds.

Zhao Dahai looked down at the sea and saw that both speedboats were ready. He nodded.

"correct!"

"Aren't Uncle Zhao and Uncle Shi going out to sea with them?"

Lin Zuhua remembered that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were on the fishing boat, but he hadn't seen them yet, so they definitely weren't going out to sea.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi had been on the fishing boat recently, but they didn't go out to sea to fish very often. They usually went out to sea in the morning, and now they had to go out to sea all night. They were getting old, so even if they wanted to go out to sea, they were not very willing. They would usually try to persuade them to stay.

"Yo!"

"Boss Gao, why did you all end up on Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

"Can't our speedboat catch fish just the same way?"

Lei Dayou couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua all boarding Zhao Dahai's speedboat at the same time.

Lei Dayou.

"Do you really think your fishing skills are better than Zhao Dahai's?"

"If you really dare to say something like that, then I'll get on your speedboat. If you don't have that kind of ability, why should I get on Zhao Dahai's speedboat instead of yours?"

“Even if the fishing spot on your speedboat is exactly the same as Zhao Dahai’s and not too far away, it’s still better on Zhao Dahai’s speedboat than on yours. If anything happens, wouldn’t it be more convenient to ask him directly? You can even speak more quietly instead of shouting like this.”

Lin Zuhua didn't hold back at all and directly retorted to Lei Dayou.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were on one boat, while Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were on the other. Both speedboats were actually fishing in the same spot; Zhao Dahai only stopped to fish when he found a place with fish.

Logically speaking, there isn't much difference. The two speedboats are so close that if any problems arise, Zhao Dahai can report them immediately.

But no matter what, it's definitely better to be on Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

If the speedboats weren't very big, then we would definitely have to split up. But Zhao Dahai's speedboat is very big. Even if all three of us got on the same speedboat, there wouldn't be any problem. We definitely have to choose Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"what!"

"Boss Lin!"

"How many fish you can catch depends on your skill!" "You guys going up to Zhao Dahai's speedboat won't be of much use."

"You'll see in a moment. The number of fish you catch will definitely not be as many as the two of us caught."

Liu Bin looked at Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and Wu Weimin with a smug expression.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua were all at a loss for words and had no way to refute him.

All of them actually have a lot of fishing experience.

Gao Zhicheng, in particular, is like this.

However, when it comes to fishing skills, they may not be as good as Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou.

There's not much to say about this; it's simply a matter of fishing more and gaining more experience, which will inevitably lead to becoming more and more skilled.

Although they had been fishing for many years, they only went out to sea to fish every now and then, and before they met Zhao Dahai, they caught very few fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou went out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai every day, sometimes for eight or ten hours, and sometimes even twenty hours.

People who fish for this long every day must have accumulated a wealth of fishing experience.

We really can't compare to them, and we have to admit that, at least for now we don't dare to argue against it.

Zhao Dahai watched Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin bickering and found it somewhat amusing. Seeing that everyone was almost ready, he shouted and drove the speedboat away from the large fishing boat.

Lei Dayou drove his speedboat, closely following behind Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai drove his speedboat all the way to the artificial reef, then slowed down. Lei Dayou's speedboat immediately caught up and stopped beside him.

"More and more people are fishing on the artificial reefs now!"

Wu Weimin checked the time and found it was around nine o'clock in the evening. However, there were quite a few lights dotting the sea around him, which must belong to people fishing. Some of them were indeed fishing, but there weren't too many fishing boats in this area.

Wu Weimin clearly remembers that when he used to come here to fish with Zhao Dahai, there weren't so many lights in the sea.

"Correct!"

"There are significantly more people fishing on artificial islands these days than in previous months, especially before the fishing moratorium."

"One is a place that is relatively close by, especially a place like the Windmill Foot fishing spot. There are not many fish left in the traditional grouper fishing spots."

"When there's no other way, we can only run further and further away."

"Artificial islands and reefs have become the best option."

"People who came here to fish at first didn't catch many fish and didn't make much money."

"There won't be too many people coming, but recently many people have been able to make money fishing here, so more and more people will come."

Zhong Shizhu was somewhat helpless.

Before the fishing moratorium, there weren't many people fishing at this artificial reef.

However, recently, quite a few people have actually caught fish and made money in this place, resulting in more and more people coming here.

"Fishing is really just like this: the more you fish, the more familiar you become with the places and the conditions, the more you will catch."

"The artificial reef area is quite complicated, but as long as someone with fishing experience comes here a few times and figures out some spots, there is still a chance to catch fish. It is at least easier than fishing in places like the Windmill Foot fishing spot."

"This is especially true for those who have a lot of fishing experience."

"You can definitely earn more money here than you can earn elsewhere."

Zhao Dahai didn't rush to cast his line immediately. He slowly moved forward in the speedboat, talking as he looked around.

The number of people coming here to fish is increasing, which only proves one thing: this place is profitable, and quite profitable.

"Only by making money will more people come here; otherwise, it would be impossible to travel so far."

"The artificial island is really quite far from here."

"It would take two or even three trips to the Windmill Fishing Spot to get here and catch fish once."

Gao Zhicheng nodded.

He doesn't fish to make money; he just wants to catch something. But most people who fish are like Zhao Dahai, who have to catch a lot of fish.

If people couldn't make money, they wouldn't keep coming here.

If more and more people are fishing here, there's only one possibility: they're all making money, and some are even making a lot of money.

"Aren't the fish here on the artificial reefs supposed to be very difficult to catch? Has it really become the case that many people have found good spots?"

Wu Weimin looked at Zhao Dahai with a bit of curiosity.

Zhao Dahai nodded.

Fish on artificial reefs are indeed not easy to catch, but this is not something that only you can do. Those with more fishing experience can definitely find places to fish as long as they are willing to spend time and money.

I can fish here, and so can everyone else. It's just that I catch more fish than others, but they don't need to fish. Only by catching as many fish as I can I make money.

Catching two groupers a day, weighing thirty or forty pounds, is enough to make money, and quite a lot of money at that.

As time goes by, more and more people will come here to fish.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"With more and more people fishing here, won't that have a huge impact on you?"

Lin Zuhua looked at Zhao Dahai with some concern.

"There will definitely be an impact. More and more people are coming here to fish, and there are some places that only you know about that you definitely can't fish in, or you can't fish openly. You definitely have to avoid them."

"But in terms of the number of fish caught, it certainly doesn't have a big impact. We've actually caught a lot of fish recently. Yesterday we caught dozens of groupers weighing over 100 pounds each."

"Most of these groupers were caught in places where there were other speedboats and other fishermen around."

Zhao Dahai smiled.

It's impossible for there to be no impact, but the impact is really not that significant.
