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

Chapter 1638 The Big Fishing Boat
"How was it?"

"What have you two decided?"

"Would you like to stay and fish with me? I really think we have a good chance of catching a lot of fish in the next ten days or so, and they'll all be pretty big ones."

When Gao Zhicheng saw Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin looking like this, he knew they were hesitant. He even felt that his judgment was correct and that there was a real chance to catch more and bigger fish.

"Lin Zuhua!"

What are your thoughts on this?

Wu Weimin pondered for a long time, but he really couldn't make up his mind.

"Isn't what you're saying obvious?"

"Don't my thoughts on this matter exactly match yours? If you can make up your mind, then I'm saying I can make up my mind too?"

Lin Zuhua shook his head.

"Damn it!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"You old bastard, you're clearly doing this on purpose! You just have to say things like that to us!"

Lin Zuhua glanced at Gao Zhicheng and knew it was 100% intentional.

"what!"

"You're right, I did it on purpose! But so what? You can go back. Just get back to work, there's no need to worry about this fishing stuff."

"Although I do feel that it's been easy to find big fish in the sea lately, this is just my own opinion, not something the sea says."

"What I'm talking about is definitely not quantifiable."

"I'm simply telling you two my own judgment."

"It saves me from having to stay here fishing alone, especially if I catch a big fish, and then you complain that I didn't tell you or remind you."

"Now I've said what I meant."

"Whether you stay and continue fishing, or go back, that's your own decision, it's your choice."

"However, I must tell you, or rather remind you, that this is just my own judgment, and I can't guarantee whether it's right or wrong."

"If you stay here and don't catch any fish, don't blame me."

“When you go back, if I catch a lot of fish, you still can’t say I didn’t tell you.”

"Even Zhao Dahai couldn't be 100% certain about what happens in the ocean."

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle smugly.

It was definitely intentional!

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua are definitely undecided now, whether to stay or go back.

"what!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"That's really unfair of you!"

"How could you do such a thing!"

"Mr. Wu and Mr. Lin are really in a bind now. They really don't know whether to go back or stay and fish!"

Shi Guangming found it rather amusing.

"Uncle Shi!"

“This really isn’t my fault! Like I just said, if I hadn’t mentioned it or reminded anyone, I would have been able to catch a lot of fish by myself, including big ones. If Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua knew about this, they would definitely have scolded me.”

"It would be better to clarify this matter now."

Gao Zhicheng spoke with righteous indignation.

"what!"

"You're right, you're not wrong. Let's not talk about this, let's not bring this up."

"It's really not appropriate!"

Shi Guangming nodded.

Putting that aside, once Ming and Lin Zuhua see Gao Zhicheng stay behind and catch a big fish, they will definitely complain about it.

But now that this matter has been discussed, Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua are undecided about whether to go back or not.

This was an open conspiracy, a completely open conspiracy. Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin knew it, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"What's going on between you two? Why don't you wait and ask Zhao Dahai later? That way you'll be able to make up your mind."

Shi Guangming had an idea and gave a hint.

Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin's eyes lit up; this was indeed a solution, and a very good one at that.

This is Gao Zhicheng's judgment, and Gao Zhicheng's judgment is certainly not as accurate as Zhao Dahai's judgment.

"Correct!"

How could we have forgotten about this?

……

"Once Zhao Dahai wakes up, we'll ask him if it's become more common to see large fish in the sea lately, and then we'll talk about other things!"

……

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua slapped their foreheads hard; this was actually the simplest and most direct method.

Gao Zhicheng smiled but didn't say a word.

Are you asking about Zhao Dahai?

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua asked Zhao Dahai, "What's the use of this?"

I've actually caught quite a lot of fish these past few days. Zhao Dahai would definitely say that there's a chance to catch even more and bigger fish recently.

I'm not just bragging when I say this; it's a judgment based on my many years of fishing experience.

The judgment of those who go to the beach to catch seafood is not much different from their own.

What makes Zhao Dahai so remarkable?

Not only does he know what conditions there are fish, but he can also find the fish in the right places. Most importantly, Zhao Dahai knows how to catch fish.

Artificial islands and reefs are places where there are fish, and a lot of fish, which is something almost everyone knows. However, other people can't find the right spots, and more importantly, they really don't know how to catch fish on the seabed and can only rely on luck.

What makes Zhao Dahai so amazing is that he can not only find places where there are fish, but also catch them from the seabed with great ease.

This is a skill that others don't have.

Gao Zhicheng was 100% certain that Zhao Dahai would say there were fish, and that there was a chance of catching a big one, but no one could guarantee that for such a thing.

After Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin asked about this, the only result was that Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin were still undecided about whether or not to stay and fish.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua sat for a while, but since they had nothing to do, they decided to go back to their cabins to sleep.

"Old Zhao."

"Aren't you going back to get some sleep?"

Shi Guangming picked up his teacup and took a sip. "What's the point of sleeping all day? We don't need to sleep so much these days."

Zhao Shi shook his head.

"Why don't we think about what kind of trawler we should buy when we get back?"

Zhao Shi slowly puffed on his water pipe, one puff after another.

If I had to work, I would definitely need to make the most of my time to sleep, but I really don't have any work to do right now.

"Didn't Zhao Dahai already say that?"

"Buy a trawler, but the trawler's live water tank must have a very significant advantage!"

Shi Guangming found it a bit strange. Zhao Dahai had already made this matter very clear, so Zhao Shi seemed to have some other ideas now.

"How could I not know that?"

"What I mean is, what size do I need to buy?"

"Is Ding Dawen's boat this big, or even bigger than Ding Dawen's current fishing boat?"

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming. There was no need to remind him of what he had just said; he was already very clear about it.

The main purpose of this large fishing boat was actually to carry the fish caught by Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da, and a few others.

The trawl net will only come in handy when you're really lucky and encounter a large school of fish.

However, it is almost certain that for about 90% of the time, this large fishing boat was simply used to carry fish.

"Is there even a question? It definitely has to be bigger than Ding Dawen's fishing boat."

"Only in this way can we hold more fish!"

Without hesitation, Shi Guangzhou immediately said that he wanted to buy a large one, and it had to be larger than Ding Dawen's current fishing boat.

“Others who don’t have money can just make do with buying a fishing boat of similar size, but for Zhao Dahai, there’s no need to worry about that. He’ll just buy whichever boat is bigger.”

Shi Guangming smiled.

When other people buy fishing boats, they definitely have to consider how much money they have on hand or how much they need to borrow.

Zhao Dahai really doesn't need to worry about this matter; he only needs to figure out which fishing boat is more suitable for him.

"What you said makes a very good point!"

"Buying a larger fishing boat would be more convenient and easier to use."

Zhao Shi thought about it carefully and nodded.

When buying a fishing boat now, you definitely need to buy a big one.

Even if it's not bigger than Ding Dawen's ship, it absolutely cannot be smaller than this one.

The larger one is definitely better.

"I wonder if any of the shipyards around here have trawlers this big. Also, I don't think the live water tanks on these trawlers are very large."

Zhao Shi thought of something very important.

Money for fishing boats is not a concern; there's as much money as you want. Not to mention one trawler, you could easily afford ten trawlers.

The biggest problem now is whether we can buy a suitable trawler.

Shi Guangming frowned.

Typical trawlers typically fish in relatively distant areas, especially larger trawlers.

It's not that these fishing boats don't have a live water tank, but generally the live water tank is relatively small.

Most of the space is cold storage, and it's a very large cold storage.

Zhao Dahai was different from other people who went out to sea; he only caught big fish, and they were alive.

The fishing boats needed must have a sufficiently large live water tank, not a sufficiently large cold storage.

"This is a really big problem!"

“Trawling vessels generally do not have large live water tanks.”

"One is that we can look for it and see if we can find any trawlers on the water."

"Another option is that we can customize a trawler with a large live water tank. Or we can modify an existing fishing boat with a large live water tank to enable trawls."

Shi Guangming pondered for a while and came up with a few ideas.

"Generally speaking, trawlers don't have large live water tanks!"

"Booking a fishing boat takes too much time."

"It would take at least three months, or a year and a half, to get a trawler like this. It's really not worth it for us. We don't have that much time to wait for a fishing boat like this."

"It was originally a cold storage room, so I don't think it would be feasible to convert it into a live water tank."

"Even if it were possible, it would still take a lot of time."

"It seems that the only way, or the best way, is to see if we can find a fishing boat with a large enough live water tank that can be converted into a trawler."

Zhao Shi pondered for a while and felt that this was the only way.

"Correct!"

"This should be the only way. I don't think it will be too complicated. However, none of us are experts in this kind of thing. Let's go back and find someone from the shipyard to take a look at what's going on."

After careful consideration, Shi Guangming concluded that what Zhao Shi had said was very likely the only solution.

However, neither Zhao Si nor I are experts in this area, so whether this idea will work or not, we really need to go back and see.

If it works, then that's definitely the best option.

If that doesn't work, and there's no better way, then we'll just order a fishing boat. After all, we'll definitely need to use such a fishing boat.

After Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had discussed the matter, they saw that it was getting late and went back to their cabin to sleep.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da woke up and checked the weather at the beach.

"We should be able to go out to sea for fishing in about half a day."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he turned to look at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou.

When it comes to fishing, I'm definitely a master among masters, but when it comes to the weather, I really can't compare to the accurate judgments of people like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, who have been fishing at sea for many years.

"The rain has almost stopped now, there's a bit of wind, but it's not strong anymore."

"Half a day should be enough."

Zhong Shizhu examined it carefully for about ten minutes and then nodded vigorously.

Zhao Dahai's judgment was correct. In half a day, the weather would definitely return to normal, or at least be suitable for fishing at sea.

"I'll go to the kitchen right now and call someone to cook!"

Ding Dawen turned and left as he spoke.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da, along with a few others, were preparing to go out to sea for fishing. They definitely needed to have a good meal, which was physically demanding. They had to call on the kitchen staff to cook, and the meal had to be large, meaty dishes, especially plenty of meat.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou chatted for a while before seeing Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua hurry in, followed by Gao Zhicheng.
