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

Chapter 1610 A Money-Making Opportunity You Can't Miss

"what!"

"Wu Weimin".

"What did you just say?"

"Didn't I say that as long as a fish bites the hook, you can catch it?"

"Did you say you wanted me to show you how to fish? What happened to you? You've become such a mess!"

Lin Zuhua stood motionless, watching Wu Weimin with schadenfreude.

"Correct!"

"Wu Weimin!"

"Why are you denying what you just bragged about?"

"A fish is about to bite, so I think you should focus on dealing with this one. Don't expect Lin Zuhua and I to help you!"

"Push harder! Push harder!"

"Hurry! Don't let go!"

"This fish might be even bigger than the one you just caught!"

"If they really did get away, that would be such a shame!"

Like Gao Zhicheng, he stood motionless on the sidelines watching the spectacle.

Wu Weimin had no choice. He knew that Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng would never help him. He had no other option but to grit his teeth, pull on the pole with both hands, and keep leaning backward.

"Wu Weimin!"

"come on! Come on!"

"Push harder! Push harder!"

……

"It's being pulled up! It's being pulled up little by little!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

……

Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng stood smugly to the side, clapping and shouting as they watched the spectacle.

Wu Weimin wanted to curse, but he couldn't. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Zuhua glanced at the fish pulled from the water and called Ding Dawen to come and help. The fish they had just caught weighed over 120 jin (approximately 60 kg).

Lin Zuhua knew very well that he was no match for this fish.

Ding Dawen nodded, picked up the landing net, and walked over. Just as he extended it to the sea surface, only three or five meters away, he suddenly saw Gao Zhicheng's pole bend sharply downwards.

Ding Dawen shouted Gao Zhicheng's name loudly.

Gao Zhicheng was startled. His instinctive reaction was to reach out and push the switch of the electric winch. After turning it a few times, it didn't move. His expression changed, and he quickly grabbed the pole with both hands and pulled it up hard.

Gao Zhicheng tried to pull it up once but couldn't budge it. He then tried a second and a third time, and finally managed to pull it up a little bit.

"Yo!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"What's wrong with you? Weren't you just making fun of Wu Weimin? How come you can't even pull him now!"

"Hurry up and push harder!"

Lin Zuhua turned his head and saw that Gao Zhicheng was gripping the pole with both hands, his face was red, and his teeth were clenched tightly, but the pole in his hands seemed to be welded to the spot and he couldn't move at all.

"Wu Weimin!"

"Push harder! We've pulled the fish up! We really have! We absolutely can't give up!"

……

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? How come you only have so little energy? If this keeps up, this fish will be swimming to the bottom of the sea!"

……

Lin Zuhua, always eager for excitement, attacked from both sides, shouting at Wu Weimin one moment and then immediately turning to shout at Gao Zhicheng the next.

Wu Weimin put down the pole he was holding, placed it on the gun carriage, and looked down carefully for a while as the electric winch slowly rotated before he was completely relieved.

Wu Weimin was panting heavily, and it took him a while to calm down.

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"Pull harder, pull harder, stop waiting here! You've been pulling for ages, my fish is almost on the hook, but yours is still not moving!"

As Wu Weimin spoke, he forcefully shook his hands. That shake had really exhausted all the strength in his body. His hands were a little numb, and even a little numb, which was the reason for the excessive exertion of strength.

Gao Zhicheng had just been mocking him with Lin Zuhua, so how could he possibly let this opportunity slip by?

Gao Zhicheng knew very well that no matter what he said, Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua would never help him. He could only do his best to deal with the fish that had taken the bait.

The wind is getting stronger.

The waves grew larger and larger, relentlessly crashing against the fishing boat.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua stood on the slippery deck, staring at each other.

"That can't be right, can it?"

"How is that possible?"

As Wu Weimin spoke, he gently patted his face.

There are three freshly caught groupers on the deck, each weighing over 100 pounds, with one weighing even 130 or 150 pounds.

These are the three fish that I, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua just caught. This is not the first fish that I, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua caught, but the fourth fish that each of us caught. In other words, tonight I, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua each caught four fish, all of which are large groupers weighing over 100 jin (50 kg).

"This is happening right before our eyes. We can't help but believe it. Could it all be fake?"

Lin Zuhua stared wide-eyed at the three large groupers that had just been caught on the deck. He had the same thought as Wu Weimin: it couldn't be real, but it was real nonetheless.

"How could something like this be fake?"

"But this is absolutely insane, how could such a thing possibly happen?"

"Has that giant grouper in the sea really gone mad tonight?"

Gao Zhicheng shook his head as he spoke.

This is the fourth fish each person caught. Together, the three of them caught a total of twelve groupers.

It's really not surprising that Zhao Dahai could catch so many fish while fishing on his fishing boat or speedboat. In fact, a few days ago, I and my friends caught so many groupers that we lost count.

But if each grouper weighs over 100 pounds or even over 120 pounds, that's a different story.

Gao Zhicheng has been fishing for over twenty years and has never encountered anything like this before.

"Forget it! This can't possibly be fake!" Gao Zhicheng turned his head to look at the sea next to the fishing boat. The seawater was very clear under the lights. Based on his years of fishing experience, he knew very well that there were indeed fish on the seabed, and there were indeed large groupers.

Are you two still going to fish?

Gao Zhicheng asked Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin.

Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin shook their heads vigorously without even thinking.

"There are definitely fish in the sea, but it's just too hard to catch them, even with an electric winch."

Wu Weimin gave a wry smile.

There are indeed fish in the sea right now, and there are very likely quite a few large groupers weighing over 100 pounds.

It's not that I don't want to go fishing, it's just so tiring.

Electric reel fishing is definitely less strenuous, but these fish are all very big, and they dive down hard the moment they are hooked, so you have to hold the rod with both hands and pull them up.

I could grit my teeth and bear it if I caught one or two fish, but now I've caught four, and I don't have much feeling in my hands anymore. It feels like they're broken.

Wu Weimin knew very well that if he continued fishing like this, he would definitely not be able to reel in the next fish when it took the bait.

Once a fish that has taken the bait can't be pulled up, and it dives to the bottom of the sea, it certainly won't bite again for a while, which is a real waste.

If you can't fish anymore, then you might as well stop. If you don't fish, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou will have a chance to catch some fish.

"I'm not fishing anymore! I really can't fish anymore!"

Lin Zuhua immediately nodded, his thoughts were the same as Wu Weimin's, they really couldn't fish anymore, so they might as well not fish at all.

"This is a rare opportunity, and there really are still fish in the sea, maybe even ten or eight."

"But you're right, it's really too late to fish anymore, there's no way to continue fishing, it's such a pity."

Gao Zhicheng sighed. Based on his years of fishing experience, he knew very well that the opportunity to catch such big fish, and to catch so many big fish, was extremely rare.

If you miss this opportunity, you really don't know when the next one will come, or you might never encounter it again in your lifetime.

Gao Zhicheng was really frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

"Don't you two feel any regret at all?"

Gao Zhicheng glanced at Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin and noticed that both of them looked very relaxed.

This is really strange.

"Gao Zhicheng."

"What's so regrettable about this?"

Wu Weimin smiled and shook his head.

“If we had encountered this situation before we met Zhao Dahai, I reckon that even if we lost both hands, we would still have to keep fishing.”

"Just like you said, if you miss this opportunity, you really don't know when you'll find another chance like this, or you might never encounter such a thing again in your lifetime."

"But who told us to know Zhao Dahai?"

"It was too easy for Zhao Dahai to find the fish. He could find it however he wanted."

"No one else could possibly find a place with so many fish, but this is just too easy for Zhao Dahai."

"What do we have to worry about? We can just wait for Zhao Dahai to find another place like this next time we go fishing, right?"

Wu Weimin really didn't feel there was anything regrettable about this matter.

Zhao Dahai's skill in finding fish is truly exceptional.

"Correct!"

"With Zhao Dahai's skills, why should we worry or care whether we can catch so many fish?"

"Even if we can't find a place where we can keep catching this many large groupers, as long as we want to catch a grouper weighing over 100 pounds, it's an incredibly easy thing for Zhao Dahai. There's nothing to worry about!"

Lin Zuhua shared the same thoughts as Wu Weimin and was not worried about the matter at all.

It might be impossible to find a place where you can catch a dozen or so large groupers, all weighing over 100 pounds, but Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and I don't necessarily need to catch that many 100-pound groupers.

Catching one or two large groupers weighing over 100 pounds is already considered very good, so there's no need to worry about this matter at all.

This opportunity tonight is indeed very rare, and even if we give it up or miss it, it will be a bit of a pity, but it's really not a big pity.

Gao Zhicheng thought about it carefully, and it really was true.

It would be quite difficult for other people to find a place with a large grouper weighing over 100 pounds, but for Zhao Dahai, it was as easy as drinking water.

Zhao Dahai usually catches a lot of large groupers weighing over 100 pounds, but this was only because he didn't care whether he had to catch such a big grouper.

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhao Dahai can catch any big grouper he wants, and he can find any big grouper he wants.

Others may not have this ability, but Zhao Dahai certainly does.

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua were absolutely right; they really didn't need to care about missing out on such an opportunity.

"Come on!"

“You’re absolutely right, we really don’t need to pay any attention to this.”

"What else is there to say? Let's pack our things and go back to sleep in a bit!"

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he kept yawning. He was already very tired from fishing during the day, and now he had caught so many large groupers weighing over 100 pounds each. Each one had consumed a lot of his physical strength and energy. Now that he had made up his mind to stop fishing, he was exhausted.

Gao Zhicheng had an urge to simply sit on the deck, but he barely managed to control himself.

"correct!"

"Do you think we should call Zhao Dahai?"

Wu Weimin had finished packing his things and was about to walk into the cabin, intending to go back to sleep, when a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"what?"

"Why? Why should we call Zhao Dahai now?"

Lin Zuhua was a little puzzled, wondering why Wu Weimin brought this up.

"We were able to catch so many large groupers, and judging from the appearance, there should still be quite a few large groupers weighing over 100 pounds in the sea."

"We're just too tired to fish anymore, or even if a fish bites, we can't reel it in."

“Zhao Dahai would not have such a problem.”

"A large grouper weighing over 100 pounds can fetch a lot of money."

"We can't miss out on a money-making opportunity like this, can we?"

"Didn't Zhao Dahai say that he really doesn't know if these big groupers will move to other places later?"

"It's definitely safer to catch it as soon as possible."

Wu Weimin pointed to the sea surface next to the big fishing boat. There are fish on the seabed now, and there are probably quite a few. It's just that he and his men don't have the strength to catch them. But they can tell Zhao Dahai and wake him up to go fishing.
