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

Chapter 1640 The Big Fishing Boat!

"Row!"

"Let's settle this then! We'll stay here a few more days!"

"Let's see how things go. If we can catch a big fish, then we'll go back."

Lin Zuhua pondered for a while and nodded in agreement with Wu Weimin's idea.

"No way? You two are really staying? You're really not going back?"

Gao Zhicheng was stunned for a moment.

I said that on purpose just now because I thought Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua wouldn't stay, but now I find that Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua have changed their minds.

"Weren't you just telling us to stay? It feels really strange that we're actually staying now!"

Lin Zuhua glared at Gao Zucheng.

"Are you worried that we'll stay and steal the big fish you're going to catch?"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"If the two of us stay here, you can forget about catching any big fish!"

"The big fish, they're all ours!"

Wu Weimin knew very well what Gao Zhicheng was thinking at this moment:
If Lin Zuhua and I hadn't stayed, Gao Zhicheng would have desperately urged us to stay.

Now that Lin Zuhua and I have truly stayed, Gao Zhicheng will definitely have a completely different story.

"Where do you two get your confidence from?"

"When it comes to fishing, I'm definitely no match for Zhao Dahai. Even Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are better at fishing than me."

"It's not that I look down on you."

"Compared to you two, you two are absolutely no match for each other."

Gao Zhicheng glanced at Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua, completely ignoring them.

"what!"

"Gao Zhicheng."

"What you said is actually true. When it comes to fishing skills, the two of us are definitely no match for you."

“If we were fishing somewhere else, and everyone relied on their own skills, the two of us would definitely catch far fewer fish than you.”

"But don't forget, we're currently out fishing at sea on Zhao Dahai's speedboat."

"To catch a big fish, we don't rely on our own skills, we rely on Zhao Dahai's skills."

"Zhao Dahai will tell us what kind of places have fish and how to fish."

"You can catch fish very easily."

"To catch a big fish, it's not about your fishing skills at all, it's all about luck."

Wu Weimin wasn't angry at all.

Gao Zhicheng's fishing skills are definitely better than his and Lin Zuhua's, and much better.

I have to admit that.

If everyone were to find a place where they could fish using their own skills, they would definitely not be able to compete with Gao Zhicheng.

That's not the case now; Zhao Dahai is taking them out to sea to fish.

Some people's fishing skills are not entirely useless, but they are not very useful, at least not for themselves and Gao Zhicheng.

"what!"

"Correct!"

"How could I have forgotten about that!"

Lin Zuhua's spirits lifted.

When Gao Zhicheng spoke just now, his heart skipped a beat. He really didn't dare to be stubborn or talk back.

Now that Wu Weimin has said this, he realizes that catching a big fish really is all about luck.

Whoever is lucky will be able to catch the big fish.

At least everyone has the same opportunities and they are equal.

Just because Gao Zhicheng's fishing skills are slightly better than his own and Wu Weimin's doesn't mean he'll definitely be able to catch big fish.

Gao Zhicheng was stunned for a moment.

I really didn't expect this, but I have to admit that Wu Weiming was right. If we were fishing elsewhere, my fishing skills would definitely determine that I would catch more fish than Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng, and possibly even more.

But right now we're fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

Zhao Dahai would find out where the fish were and he would also tell these people how to fish.

Anyone with hands can catch fish, even big ones.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

There's really no reason why you would insist that you can catch more and bigger fish than Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua.

"Now you understand what's going on, right? You won't dare to brag anymore, will you?"

Wu Weimin was beaming with pride.

"Ugh!"

"You're right! That's exactly how it is!"

"When Zhao Dahai goes out to sea to fish on his speedboat, there's really no way he can say that the fish he catches will definitely be bigger than the two of you."

Gao Zhicheng was somewhat reluctant, but he had no choice but to nod and admit that it was true.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin!"

"You two, you can't be telling the truth, can you? Are you really planning to stay and go fishing with us?"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he pointed in the direction of the island and reef foam area.

Now that the weather has just turned nice, if you're planning to go fishing at sea, you'll definitely choose the island and reef foam area to see if you can catch sea bass.

Two days ago, a large fishing boat caught a sea bass weighing around 40 pounds, which is considered very, very big.

Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin don't necessarily have to stay and go fishing at sea together.

Even if you want to go fishing at sea together, you don't need to get on a speedboat, or you can just follow Ding Dawen's fishing boat back to the dock and come back here in a day or two.

"Zhao Dahai".

"When you go fishing at sea, do you go to the foamy island area?"

Wu Weimin immediately asked Zhao Dahai.

The island and reef foam area is mainly for fishing for sea bass or threadfin bream.

Most sea bass in the island and reef foam area weigh around 20 pounds, and 30 pounds is not considered very large. They can only appear when the tide and current are right.

In the past two days, Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and I caught sea bass weighing forty jin (20 kg) or even more than forty jin (25 kg) at the fishing boat.

It seems there's really no need to continue fishing for sea bass weighing 20 or 30 pounds in the island and reef foam area.

Zhao Dahai nodded. This was something that had already been decided long ago.

Or, to put it another way, whenever I fish in this area, I usually only go to two places: one is the island and reef foam area, and the other is the artificial island and reef in front of me.

The main fishing spots in the island and reef foam area are for sea bass or threadfin bream. Sometimes you might catch other fish, but the chances of catching other fish are not very high.

The weather hasn't been great these past few days, so there's definitely not much fishing going on in that island and reef foam area.

The weather has only just started to improve, and even if other people wanted to go fishing in the island and reef foam area, it would take them quite a while.

If the tides and currents are right, after a few days of rest and recuperation, there will be plenty of sea bass in the island and reef foam areas.

If you're quick, you can catch several thousand kilograms of sea bass in half a day.

"Mr. Wu."

"I really don't think you have much of a need to go fishing in the island foam area."

"There is a chance of finding large threadfin bream, but in most cases it's sea bass."

“A fish weighing 30 pounds is already quite impressive, but in the last two days you’ve caught sea bass weighing 40 pounds here.”

“I think you really can go back to the dock with Brother Wen’s fishing boat.”

"If you want to fish, come back with the big fishing boat. If you don't want to fish, or if you want to fish later, wait a few days for the next trip, or you can find a big speedboat to come out."

Zhao Dahai felt that Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and Gao Zhicheng really didn't need to go out to sea fishing with his speedboat, at least not when they were running around island and reef foam areas.

The main fish to catch in the island and reef foam area is sea bass, and there is a possibility of threadfin bream, but the chances of catching threadfin bream are really not very high.

What do you think?

Wu Weimin glanced at Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng.

"What you want to do is your business. Anyway, I'm definitely going to go fishing at sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat."

Without a second thought, Gao Zhicheng immediately said that he would definitely be going out to sea to fish on the speedboat.

"Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua, have you two been catching too many big fish? Now you're starting to look down on sea bass that weigh around 20 pounds?"

"Why don't you ever think about how you never seemed to catch any fish when you went out to sea fishing with other people's fishing boats or speedboats?"

"Back then, you were all incredibly happy to catch sea bass weighing only three to five pounds, let alone twenty or thirty pounds!"

Gao Zhicheng mocked Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin, implying that they thought sea bass weighing ten or twenty kilograms were too small and they didn't want to fish for them.

"Pooh!"

"It's not like we're the only ones who think this way! Don't you think the same way?"

Lin Zuhua gave Gao Zhicheng a disdainful look.

I do look down on sea bass that weigh ten, twenty, or even thirty kilograms.

If you fish too much, it gets boring.

But it's not just me who thinks this way; Gao Zhicheng would have the same thoughts.

"Come on, come on!"

"We don't need to think so much! Let's just follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat out to sea for fishing, and maybe we'll even encounter a bighead carp weighing several tens of kilograms this time!"

After thinking about it, Wu Weimin decided not to go back with Ding Dawen's fishing boat, but to get on Zhao Dahai's speedboat and go fishing together.

Lin Zuhua nodded, and it was settled then.

The kitchen prepared the food, and one bowl after another was brought over.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lin Zuhua are going out to sea to fish soon, so they'll start eating right away.

Zhao Dahai had just finished eating and poured himself a cup of tea. As he was drinking it, he saw his second grandfather, Zhao Shi, and Shi Guangming walk in.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"There's something I need to discuss with you!"

Zhao Shi lit his water pipe, sat down, smoked, and talked to Zhao Dahai.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Zhao Dahai was a little puzzled, wondering what he was going to talk to him about.

"Don't we need to buy a large trawler? But most trawlers go to fish in far-off places. A cold storage tank is much, much larger than a live water tank."

"The main reason we bought this trawler was that it needed a large live water tank so that it could hold all the fish you catch."

"Old Shi and I are a little worried that when we go back to buy a fishing boat, we won't be able to find a suitable one."

"There are only two options. One is to buy a fishing boat with a large live water tank and see if it can be converted into a trawler."

"Another option is for us to order a fishing boat."

"But that will take a lot of time."

"A year or two is nothing unusual."

Zhao Shi quickly recounted his discussion with Shi Guangming about buying a fishing boat.

"The two of us are more inclined to find a fishing boat that can be converted."

"This will take some time, but it will be much faster than suggesting building a new trawler with a large live water tank to meet our requirements."

Shi Guangming nodded. When he and Zhao Shi discussed this matter yesterday, they both felt that finding a ready-made trawler that met the requirements would not be easy, and was almost impossible. At least not in the short term.

The only solution is to find a fishing boat with a large live water tank that can be converted into a trawler.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Stone".

"There's nothing wrong with your idea."

"For us, although this fishing boat is a trawler, we don't actually fish for very long. We only use this fishing boat to fish when we see a large school of fish at sea."

"Most of the time, just like the fishing boat we're standing on right now, it's used to carry fish, and live fish at that."

"A large live water tank is really important to us."

"However, as you said, there are definitely not many trawlers with large live water tanks like these."

"It's really not easy to find a fishing boat like this, especially in such a short time."

Zhao Dahai thought for a moment and nodded. There really wasn't a problem with what Shi Guangping and Zhao Shi were discussing.

"However, I don't think this matter is actually that important."

"What I mean is, even if we find the live water tank of the trawler, it doesn't matter if it's not particularly large."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that trawlers generally didn't have large live water tanks; on the contrary, they needed a huge cold storage.

For other fishermen at sea, a huge cold storage facility is more important, but for him, a huge live water tank is more important.
When Second Grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming went back to buy a fishing boat, it was very likely that they really couldn't find a suitable trawler with a large live water tank.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai".

What do you mean by that?

Shi Guangming found it a bit strange, wondering what Zhao Dahai really meant by those words.
