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

Chapter 1641 Fish More!
"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

“For us, a large live water tank is definitely the best thing, but as you said, finding a trawler with a large live water tank is not something that can be done in a short time.”

"Finding a fishing boat with a large live water tank and converting it into a trawler is not impossible, but trawlers are quite different from ordinary fishing boats. I estimate that the keel and other components of a power-powered fishing boat would definitely need to be quite strong."

"It's not certain that we'll be able to find the right one!"

Zhao Dahai knew that if he could find a fishing boat with a large live water tank and modify it to be able to trawle, it would be excellent and useful to him.

However, this kind of thing is generally just a thought; it's really unlikely that you'll find a suitable one.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming frowned slightly.

The two of them came up with this idea.

The idea was simply to have trawlers, and they needed to have large live water tanks.

But in reality, it's unlikely that you could find a fishing boat like that, just as Zhao Dahai said.

"What should we do? Why don't we just order a fishing boat?"

"It does take a bit longer, but it's perfect for us."

"We can't spend a lot of money to buy a fishing boat that's not very suitable for use, can we?"

After much deliberation, Zhao Shi decided that if there were existing fishing boats, there wouldn't be any problem, but since there weren't any, he would simply commission one.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

Customizing a fishing boat would definitely be perfect for you, but it would take a long time.

Three months is basically impossible; it will take at least a year and a half.

I hadn't originally planned to buy a fishing boat, but now that I've decided to, I don't want to wait that long.

"There's no way to solve this, is there? If you want a large fishing boat with fresh water, and it has to be a trawler, you basically have to have it custom-made."

Shi Guangming was completely clueless and had no idea what Zhao Dahai was planning.

“We definitely need a large fishing boat, but that large fishing boat doesn’t necessarily need a large live water tank.”

"What I mean is that having a large live water tank would definitely be better, but if you don't have one, it won't be a big problem."

Zhao Dahai smiled. He knew that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were probably thinking that if they caught live fish at sea and kept them alive to sell back at the fish farm or dock, they could make more money.

Cold storage is definitely not suitable.

However, both Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming forgot something very important.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"The main purpose of our big trawler is to catch fish occasionally. Another purpose is that when Brother Dawen's current fishing boat goes back, it can carry the fish that Uncle Shizhu and I caught, or we can take a rest."

"Whether it's used for fishing or for catching fish, it's just a temporary measure."

"The place where I'm fishing now isn't too far from the village or the fish farm."

"At most, it will only take a day to go back and forth."

"How many fish can Uncle Shizhu and I catch in such a short time?"

"It's only a few thousand jin, but if it can drop to 18,000 jin, that would be an extraordinary thing."

"A larger trawler would definitely have a live water tank this big."

"If we ever encounter a large school of fish and have to use trawls, wouldn't we still need cold storage?"

Zhao Dahai knew he was getting a bit stuck on the issue; he hadn't expected what he had just said.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Generally speaking, trawlers don't have very large live water tanks, but that doesn't mean the live water tanks are very small.

This is only relative to the cold storage; it is indeed not very large.

If a trawler is large enough, its live water tank can hold at least 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of fish.

Larger trawlers can even carry 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of live fish without any problem.

This was more than enough for Zhao Dahai, more than enough indeed.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You have to admit, your mind works faster; you came up with this idea right away."

"We two old men racked our brains for a long time before finally coming up with an idea, completely forgetting that the water tanks on this large trawler are actually sufficient."

Shi Guangming smiled. Neither he nor Zhao Shizhen had expected what Zhao Dahai had just said.

"If there are no problems with the live water tank, we'll go back and buy a large trawler right away."

This time, Zhao Shi made up his mind decisively: he would go back and look at the fishing boats and buy one.

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. Seeing that it was almost time, he called out to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and then Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin, and Gao Zhicheng. They left the large fishing boat and boarded two speedboats, heading directly towards the island's foamy area.

"I wonder how many fish Zhao Dahai and his crew will catch this time?"

Shi Guangming watched as Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu watched the two speedboats sail further and further away. They disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. He wondered how many fish they would catch on this trip.

"If you're so eager to know about this, why didn't you go out with the speedboat earlier?"

"You don't need to go with me to buy the fishing boat; I can do it all by myself."

Zhao Shi knew that Shi Guangming was likely to bring this up, so he decided to speak first to shut him up.

I'm not kidding, I could definitely buy a fishing boat by myself, it's no problem for me at all.

“I might be interested in fishing for other fish in other places, but I have absolutely no interest in fishing for sea bass or threadfin in the island and reef foam areas.”

Shi Guangming immediately shook his head.

I might be interested in fishing for other types of fish, but I really have no interest in fishing for sea bass in the island and reef foam areas.

They were all sea bass, and all of them weighed ten or twenty kilograms.

“When Zhao Dahai goes out to sea to fish, especially in the foamy areas around the islands and reefs, it’s almost all physical labor.”

"What's so fun about fishing like this?"

Shi Guangming was not joking.

The island and reef foam area is mainly used for fishing sea bass.

Fishing in the island and reef foam area is a bit difficult for the other people. If they can catch two or three hundred pounds in a day, that's already quite good.

Whenever Zhao Dahai goes to the island and reef foam area, he almost always catches several thousand kilograms of fish.

What else could this be but physical labor?
"What you said makes absolutely no sense!"

"Who says fishing like this isn't fun?"

“A sea bass weighing over ten pounds, or even twenty or thirty pounds, is not small at all.”

"The price is incredibly good!"

"Fishing sea bass weighing several thousand kilograms like this would make you so rich your hands would cramp." "You're telling me fishing like this isn't fun?"

Isn't making money the greatest joy in the world?

Zhao Shi was furious.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were fishing at sea to make money.

It's nothing special, it's just for catching big fish.

If you only catch one big fish all day, what's the point, no matter how big that fish is?
Not only do you have to catch big fish, you also have to catch a lot of them in order to make money.

Why did Zhao Dahai take Zhong Shizhu and the others to soak in the foam area of ​​the island reef?
Was it for catching big fish?
You could say it was for catching big fish, but it definitely wasn't for selecting fish.

Whether it's a sea bass weighing three or five pounds, or even ten, twenty, or thirty pounds, you can make money from it.

As long as there are fish in the sea, you will definitely fish. As long as you catch enough fish, you can make money, and you can make a lot of money.

If this isn't fun, then there's no fun in the world.

Shi Guangming's lips trembled slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Making money is undoubtedly the greatest joy in the world.

Zhao Dahai, Gang Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da worked from dawn till dusk every day, sometimes fishing for three or four hours straight without having time to sleep.

The fish I catch every day are sea bass, black sea bream, or various kinds of grouper.

No matter how delicious the meat and fish are, they will taste unappetizing after eating too much.

No matter how big the fish is, you'll get bored after catching too many.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou go out to sea to fish every day, and they never complain that it's not fun.

You can make a lot of money from fish weighing thousands of kilograms or even more, so why wouldn't you find it fun?

Physical labor?
This is definitely physical labor!
Catching so many fish, if that's not physical labor, then what is?
But who wouldn't want to do this kind of physical labor?

"Old Zhao!"

"No one can refute what you're saying."

"You can make a lot of money by handling fish weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. This kind of physical labor is something everyone would want to do."

"Why bother about whether it's fun or not?"

"That's the greatest joy!"

"Fishing like this is really a lot of fun!"

Shi Guangming had to admit that this was the case.

As Ding Dawen watched Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou drive away in their speedboat, he immediately shouted loudly, "Pack your things, leave the artificial island, and go back to the dock!"

Foam zone around islands and reefs.

The entire sea was wide open, and you couldn't see where the camera was positioned.

Huge areas of foam were scattered across the sea.

"Won't this make us rich?"

Wu Weimin stood at the bow of the speedboat and took a careful look at the entire island and reef foam area, his eyes wide open.

The tides and currents are incredibly good, and more importantly, there isn't a single other speedboat in the entire island and reef foam area.

There were only two speedboats, belonging to himself and Zhao Dahai, and their group, in the entire sea and sky.

Is that all there is to it?

How is that possible?

The entire island and reef foam area is now not only very active with excellent tides and currents, but also not only is it uninhabited. As speedboats pass by, you can immediately see sea bass bursting out of the water one after another.

To put it simply, right now, the entire sea area around the island and reef is teeming with fish.

"What does it mean to be lucky rather than early? Isn't that exactly the situation we're in now?"

"We've come at the perfect time. The sea is teeming with sea bass right now, and they keep leaping out of the water, which proves they're actively feeding."

"At this time of year, you can catch fish almost anywhere."

"Plus, there aren't any other speedboats coming here to fish for sea bass."

"This entire sea is ours!"

Zhong Shizhu was very excited.

While talking, he immediately picked up the rod. At this moment, he had to seize the time to fish, and he didn't need to use a float; he could just use a lead head hook.

Zhao Dahai quickly found the most suitable spot in the speedboat. At this point, there was no need to squeeze to the edge of the largest foam area; it was necessary to be in the flowing water.

There are definitely fish in the foam area, and there should be quite a few, but if you want to catch the most fish and the biggest fish, you have to go to the flowing water.

"coming!"

"Twenty pounds!"

Zhong Shizhu was the first to fish. He had just cast his line into the sea when a fish took the bait in less than a second.

After fishing for a long time, I know very well how big this fish is; it definitely weighs at least twenty pounds.

"Get to work! Get to work!"

"Let's hurry up and get to work. Let's catch two or three thousand catties of fish first to warm up before we talk about anything else."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he picked up his fishing rod.

"what!"

"One after another!"

……

"Where did all these fish come from? We can't catch them all no matter how hard we try!"

……

"This sea is teeming with fish!"

……

"Here it comes! Here it comes again!"

……

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua didn't pay much attention at first, as they had caught far too many sea bass of that size. However, after two of them fell in, they realized that things weren't as they had imagined.

A 40-pound sea bass is simply too big, making it very difficult to catch. Sea bass weighing three to five pounds, or even less than ten pounds, are a bit too small and don't have much strength, so catching them wouldn't be very fun.

A sea bass weighing twenty pounds isn't extremely large, but it's not extremely small either.

It has enough pulling power, but it's not too strenuous to fish in, and it won't make you too tired.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua kept pulling sea bass out of the sea, becoming more and more excited as they fished.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou smiled, but no one spoke. However, their hands moved faster and faster. The sea was full of fish, so they had to hurry and catch as many fish as possible.
