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

Chapter 1227 It’s a Great Deal
"what!"

"did you see that?"

"Isn't this the Nine Fishes'?"

Liu Bin looked down at the long string of fish he had pulled up from the water and counted them. There were nine of them.

"Not bad, not bad. It's really good. The long hook is really good. The fish you catch in one trip are equivalent to the fish you can catch in two or even three trips with the short hook."

"If there weren't many fish in the sea, such a long hook wouldn't be of much use, but right now the fish in the sea are biting very fiercely."

“It’s such a good deal to use such a long string hook!”

Liu Bin was very excited when he saw the nine fish on the hook, all of which were big black eagles weighing two or three pounds.

"what!"

"Liu Bin."

"What's the point of talking about this now? You know, no matter how many fish you have on your hook, they are useless if they are not on the speedboat. I want to see how many fish you can pull up."

"Another thing is, after you pull up all these fish, can you still use this string of hooks? If you can't use it, not only will the string of hooks be scrapped, it will also be a waste of money, but the most important thing is that you will have to spend more time to replace the string of hooks and continue fishing!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at the smug Liu Bin and reminded him loudly that all the fish were now in the sea. The most difficult thing about the long string hooks was not that they could not catch any fish, but what to do with the fish when they were caught and pulled out of the water. Another problem was whether the string hooks would get tangled together when setting the hooks or pulling the fish.

"Correct!"

"What's the point of saying anything now? We have to wait until the fish is pulled onto the deck to find out what's going on."

Lei Dayou smiled and nodded. What Zhong Shizhu said was absolutely right. Although there were indeed nine fish on Liu Bin’s hook at this moment, which was a long string of fish, all these fish were now in the sea.

When Liu Bin heard what Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou said, he suddenly became a little nervous.

"I'm wondering what's going on with you guys? I definitely need some help. You know, there are nine fish in the sea right now, and the hooks are very long. How can I do this alone?"

Liu Bin knew very well that it was not easy for him to deal with this string of hooks with nine hooks by himself.

The whole string of hooks is too long. If all of them are filled with fish, you can pull up the first two, and the rest are still in the sea. These fish are not stupid and will definitely struggle. If they struggle, one is that they may break free and run away, and the other is that the string of hooks may get tangled together. Either way, it is not a good thing.

"Did they help you scoop up the fish with the scoop net?"

"If you don't have time, there will be no problem. But don't you see that Lei Da and I have almost pulled our hooks out of the water? If we help you catch fish, what will we do with the fish on our hooks?"

"The fish in the sea are really crazy right now. We can only fish and catch them by ourselves!"

Zhong Shizhu pointed to the edge of his fishing spot as he spoke.

Liu Bin's fish was about to be pulled out of the water, and his own fish was about to be pulled out of the water as well, with the difference being less than one meter.

"what!"

"Who said it wasn't true? My fish is still about three meters away from being pulled out of the water!"

"There are so many fish in the sea now. After we pick the fish off our hooks, we have to put meat bait on them and put them back into the sea. We have to hurry up and fish."

"Liu Bin!"

"You really can only fish by yourself, no one can control you!"

"Do you think Zhao Dahai has time to help you fish?"

"Zhao Dahai is faster at fishing than us. If he had time to help you catch fish, he would have already caught five more fish!"

Lei Dayou pointed to Zhao Dahai next to him. His fishing speed was much faster than himself, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and others. In just a short while, Zhao Dahai had already reeled in fish for the third time.

Liu Bin looked around and realized that this was indeed the case. He really had no other choice but to scoop up the fish himself.

Liu Bin was busy and frantic for more than ten minutes before he pulled all the fish out of the water and onto the deck. In the end, two fish escaped and the hooks were tangled together, making them a mess and unusable, so he had to replace them with new ones.

"Forget it!"

"The long wound is more troublesome and wastes so much time."

“The shorter string hooks would have already fallen off the second or even third time.”

Liu Bin kept shaking his head. Facts had proved that the nine-hook string hook was really not very effective. It was not that no fish could be caught when it was lowered into the water. When the fish school in the sea was very large, especially when the bite was very fierce, it was really possible to catch fish. He had just caught a few fish in one trip. But the problem was that the process of getting the cured fish onto the deck was a bit hesitant and the chance of an accident was too great.

"what!"

"Liu Bin!"

"You see it now, right? You used nine hooks to make enough, but I only used five hooks. But I'm already fishing for the second time!"

"On the first trip, there were five fish. Now there are four fish. Is it different that there are nine fish?"

"I have already put the bait on my string hook and put it in the sea. It will soon reach the water level and I will be fishing for the third time. But you have just changed the string hook now!"

Zhong Shizhu laughed loudly. Liu Bin could no longer be proud at this moment. It seemed that he indeed caught more fish than others at one time, but in fact, it was not cost-effective in the end. On the contrary, people like him and Lei Dayou who used shorter hooks caught more fish.

Zhao Dahai found Liu Bin's look a little funny. Even though he was a veteran who had been fishing at sea for many years and had rich experience, when it came to fishing, he could only be considered a person with some experience.

Liu Bin actually knew that the nine-hook string was not particularly easy to use and might even cause confusion, but he would not give up unless he gave it a try.

This kind of thing is very normal. If it were me, I might do the same thing, but after trying it once and not knowing what happened, I will never do it again.

In many cases, five hooks are long enough for a string of hooks. If the fish in the sea are not very ferocious, five hooks would be a bit too many, and generally only three hooks are used.

Today, there are a lot of fish in the sea where we are fishing for black sea bream, and the bites are really fierce. In this case, we can use five hooks.

If there are seven hooks, that would be the limit. If nine hooks are used, the result would be almost 100% the same as Liu Bin's situation now.

People who go out to sea to fish or people who are fishing sometimes just don't believe in evil in their hearts. They have to try it themselves once and learn a lesson before they really give up.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were busy fishing and pulled up bunches of black porgy weighing two or three kilograms from the sea.

Shek Kok Village Pier.

Ding Dawen had unloaded all the fish and was ready to leave the fish farm and meet Zhao Dahai. "Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Why are you hesitating about this? If you want to stay here for a few more days, just stay a few more days."

"I come back every now and then, don't I? Why don't you just wait for me to come back next time and then go out to sea with the fishing boat?"

Ding Dawen looked at Zhao Shi and then at Shi Guangming.

They had originally thought of coming back here to take a look and then continuing to go out to sea, but Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were a little hesitant at this time. One wanted to go out to sea with the big fishing boat, and the other wanted to stay at the fish farm for a few days.

"what!"

"Correct!"

"There's really nothing to think about this matter!"

"It's getting late. You should go out to sea quickly. Don't be too late. When Zhao Dahai and his friends finish fishing and return home, they won't see your fishing boat!"

Zhao Shi waved his hand and immediately decided that he and Shi Guangming would not go out to sea this time, but wait until the next time they came back and then go out to sea with the fishing boat.

Ding Dawen nodded, got on the fishing boat, immediately left the fish farm and headed out to the open sea. It was already late.

"The Fish Pad is a really nice place. I found it so comfortable after this trip. I always feel like I want to stay here longer!"

Shi Guangming watched Ding Dawen driving the fishing boat farther and farther away, and soon he was out of sight.

"Ding Xiaoxiang spent a lot of money and effort on this fish fillet, and there are so many people here at this time, so how could she not feel comfortable?"

"The other fish rafts are so narrow and small, and the rooms are the same. How can a few people squeeze together comfortably?"

Zhao Shi knew very well what was going on.

Ding Xiaoxiang spent a lot of money when she saw this fish fillet, and the whole fish fillet was very stable.

Each of the two fish racks has its own small platform, and there is a large platform in the middle connecting them.

The space for activities is very large. From this point of view alone, Ding Dawen's large fishing boat is far inferior.

Another thing is that the room above the fish rack is very spacious.

During the few days of this trip out to sea, Ding Xiaoxiang built a new room on top of the fish rack, making it even more comfortable to live in.

Another thing is that the fish farm is very lively now, with a lot of people, and even two puppies.

"Correct!"

"correct!"

"That's actually the case. Fish Pad is really comfortable and lively here. When we get older, it's good to have a place we like to live. If we don't have to worry about food, drinks, and entertainment, it would be great!"

Shi Guangming nodded.

What Zhao Shi said was absolutely correct.

Fish fillet is a really comfortable place.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi strolled along the fish farm while talking.

"Most of the fish Zhao Dahai has caught in recent days are groupers."

"These fish can be kept in this place for any longer time, not to mention two or three months."

Shi Guangming stood beside the net cage containing the fish that Ding Dawen had just unloaded and looked at it carefully for a while. It was full of groupers of various sizes.

A small number of them were staying in shallower waters and could all be seen clearly, but the larger ones and the vast majority were all in deeper waters and could not be seen clearly. However, those that could be seen clearly were all swimming around.

With years of experience, it is easy to see that these groupers that have just been put into the net like the sea water here very much. For them, this place is far better than the live water tank of a fishing boat.

“It cost a lot of money to build this fish farm, but now it seems like a steal!”

Zhao Shi nodded. The groupers and other fish in the fish fillets were really good. He had just asked Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu. There were a lot of fish placed here during this period, but none of them had any problems. Even after being raised for a few days, no matter whether it was grouper, sea bass, black porgy, yellow porgy, etc., they all became more vigorous.

Why is this so? The biggest reason is that the water quality here is really good!

It cost a lot of money to rent this place, and it cost a lot of money to build this fish farm, but the more I look at it now, the more I feel that this place is really cost-effective, and the money is really worth it.

"With so many fish here now, they are really valuable!"

Shi Guangming looked at the entire fish fillet.

How many fish are there here now? Even he and Zhao Dahai may not be very clear.

But what is certain is that there are really a lot of fish here and they are worth a lot of money.

“The fishing moratorium is coming soon.”

"Wait until the fishing season starts, the fish here are really valuable!"

Zhao Shi smiled and reminded Shi Guangming that the fish in the fish racks were indeed very valuable. Even the normal market price was an incredible figure. However, when the fishing moratorium began, these fish would really be worth it. At that time, the price of these fish would definitely double or even triple.

"Who said it wasn't?"

"Zhao Dahai is amazing. He can catch so many fish!"

"This way I can save some and sell them for more money during the fishing moratorium!"

Shi Guangming really admires him very much.

Anyone who has been out to sea knows that once the fishing moratorium begins, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs will go up.

It's not that other people don't want to do this, but they really can't do it. One reason is that there are not enough places large enough to feed these fish. Another reason is that the number of fish caught is too small. It is very unprofitable to do this. The money earned will not be more, and it may even be less.
