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

Chapter 1229 Buy a Land and Build a House
Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both nodded at once. To be honest, although they had opinions or reminded Ding Xiaoxiang about this matter, they really didn't have any good ideas on how to deal with it. On the contrary, Ding Xiaoxiang herself was a good businessman and could definitely handle this matter properly.

"There are no problems with the fish here, and there are more and more of them now. With a few days left, I estimate that Zhao Dahai will be able to catch more fish!"

"There's really no need to worry about too many things during this year's fishing moratorium. After all, we can make a lot of money."

Shi Guangming looked at the fish cages of the entire fish farm. Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish just like last year, but not as many as this year.

"correct!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"When will the sea fishing boat be able to return?"

Ding Xiaoxiang suddenly remembered something important.

One of the very important purposes or plans of Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhongwei and He Jian's deep-sea fishing trip is to return to the dock during the fishing moratorium. In this way, the fish they catch can be sold at a good price, and they can make more money from the same fish.

"It is almost impossible for Shi Jiehua and his team to return before the fishing moratorium begins. This trip takes a month. If they catch a lot of fish and do a good job, the entire fishing time may be shortened to one and a half months."

"At first, we planned to return before the fishing season started, even if we didn't stay out at sea for that long, but we changed our minds in the end."

Shi Guangming shook his head.

Ding Xiaoxiang asked this question because she was thinking about how to sell fish after the fishing moratorium began, as she had a lot of fish in her hands now.

Selling fish is really a technical job. You can’t just sell them well or make the most money by doing it casually.

"Row!"

"It's nothing!"

"The price of the remaining lines may not necessarily rise in the days before the fishing moratorium begins. It may take ten days or even half a month for the price to really rise."

"It's okay to come back later. It won't have any impact."

"About half a month may be the best time."

“It’s not good to be too late!”

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and felt that there was no big problem with the timing. It could only be done earlier or about half a month after the fishing moratorium began. If it was too late, it would really not work.

"Why not too late?"

Shi Guangming was a little strange.

Once the fishing moratorium begins, only the fishing boats going out to sea to fish are left. Except for those going abroad or deep-sea fishing, all other fishing boats must be brought back and remain at the dock, unable to move.

The amount of fish, shrimp and crabs on the market will definitely decrease. The longer the time, the scarcer the fish, shrimp and crabs will be, and the higher the price will be.

But now Ding Xiaoxiang clearly feels that this is not the case.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Most people think that the longer the fishing moratorium lasts, the higher the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs will be in the market, after all, there are fewer and fewer fish, shrimp and crabs."

“But that’s not actually the case.”

"If it's too late, many people will think that since they haven't eaten fish for such a long time, or that the prices of fish, shrimp and crab are so high, they might as well not eat them."

"No one is buying fish in the market, so the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs will definitely have to go down."

"The other is that it is impossible in this world. We are the only smart people. Other people are just as smart."

"At the beginning of the fishing moratorium, there were indeed fewer fish, shrimp and crabs, and the prices were relatively high, but as time went on, even during the fishing moratorium, there were still some ways to catch fish to sell."

"There must be a lot of people like this. If this happens, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs will definitely be affected, and the impact may be huge."

"The best time to get the best price and not have to worry about not being able to sell is about 15 to 20 days after the fishing season starts."

"As time goes by, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs may become higher, but there is a greater chance that they will not be at the highest level."

"This makes making money, especially making a lot of money, riskier."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that many people, including Shi Guangming, went out to sea like this. People who had taken others fishing for many years all had this illusion, but in fact it was not the case.

When doing business, one thing is to find a way to sell at the highest price, and the other is to avoid big risks as much as possible.

During the entire fishing moratorium, the risk will become greater as time goes by, and the price may not necessarily be the highest.

"I said, why do you care about this matter?"

"You may be better than Ding Xiaoxiang at fishing, but when it comes to selling fish, how can you compare to Ding Xiaoxiang?"

"We don't need to care about things like this. Ding Xiaoxiang will handle all of them. The two of us will just stay here at the fish raft and deal with other things, such as whether anyone comes here to cause trouble, or if anyone wants to come here to cause trouble!"

Zhao Shi waved his hand a little impatiently.

As for other things, maybe Shi Guangming and I could handle them, but when it comes to something like this, especially business matters, we are far inferior to Ding Xiaoxiang.

There was no need to spend so much effort, and there was no need to worry about such things. Just leave everything to Ding Xiaoxiang, including the fish caught by the sea fishing boats. The frozen ones would be sold to Ding Chongshan, and the live ones would be placed at the fish farm and wait for Ding Xiaoxiang to sell them and share the money.

"what!"

"I'm just a little curious, right?"

"But you're right. We really don't need to worry about this. We're already this old, so why should we worry about making money? Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai and the others can handle it all!"

Shi Guangming knew very well that what Zhao Shi said made sense.

Both he and Zhao Shi were already quite old, so matters of making money were left to young people like Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai. Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei were good at taking people out to sea to do some physical work, but when it came to making money by selling fish, they were not familiar with the market.

"Grandpa Shi."

"You and Uncle Shi are the ones who take others out to sea to fish. You don't really sell fish. Even if you do sell fish, it's just a resale. As long as the price is similar, it's fine. You must not be that clear and familiar with the entire market."

"Second Grandfather is right. You don't need to worry about this matter. Just take a walk and look at the fish. As for the other matters, Uncle Shi, Shi Zhongwei and I will discuss and handle them."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded.

"Why do you need to discuss this with them? Just make the decision on this matter yourself!"

"The daylilies waiting to discuss with them are all gone!"

Shi Guangming shook his head vigorously. For other matters, Shi Jiehua or Shi Zhongwei could still give some advice, but when it came to doing business, ten of them combined were no match for Ding Xiaoxiang. "Enough!"

"Didn't I just say that we don't need to pay attention to this matter?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang will know how to handle this matter!"

Zhao Shi was a little impatient and glared at Shi Guangming again.

"what!"

"Correct!"

"I really don't care about this matter anymore!"

Shi Guangming nodded vigorously.

Ding Xiaoxiang talked with Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi for a while and then left, walking towards the platform between the two fish rafts, where Zhao Dahai's grandmother Zhong Cuihua and second grandmother Huang Jintao Zhao were sitting and talking.

"grandmother."

"Is it okay for you and Second Grandma to stay in this place?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pulled a stool and sat down. She picked up an orange next to her, peeled it, cut it in half and handed it to Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao.

“This place must be good!”

"A few days ago, the two of us were thinking about whether we should just stay in this place for a longer period of time."

"One is that this place is much more lively, with so many people here, and everyone talks to each other every day, so time passes quickly."

"Another reason is that you and Zhao Dahai often come back here."

"Business and everything else is all here!"

"If the two of us stay here, won't we have more opportunities to meet each other?"

"Otherwise, you have to come back and run back to the village!"

Zhong Cuihua pointed around the fish paddock. She was not joking. She really felt that the fish paddock was a great place and it was easy to kill time. Ding Xiaoxiang often came here. Another thing was that Zhao Dahai would come back from time to time, so they had more time to meet each other. Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai didn't have to run back and forth every time.

"Correct!"

"I also think that the Fish Pad is a really great place. We can stay here for a long time, there is really no problem!"

Huang Jintao smiled and nodded. She and Zhong Cuihua had been living at the fish raft recently and they didn't feel anything unusual. The other thought that staying in this place was much better than the deserted village.

"grandmother."

"Second Grandma."

"If you really think this place is nice, then stay here for a while."

"This is our own fish farm. You can rent it for as long as you want."

"I've been thinking about whether I should find another piece of land or something near the dock to build a house these days."

"No matter how comfortable the fish raft is, it is still a fish raft after all. You can't stay here forever. Sometimes when you get tired of living here, you can go live on land for a few days. If you want to go to the fish raft, then come to the fish raft."

"Or maybe go back to land to take a nap at night, and then come back to the fish farm during the day."

Ding Xiaoxiang has really been thinking about this matter these days.

It's easy to tell without asking that Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao really think that Yupai is a pretty good place, mainly because it's comfortable to live in. Another more important thing is that there are many people here, and the elderly like the hustle and bustle and it's easy to kill time there.

Because of the fish here at the fish paddock, Zhao Dahai was the first one to return here after going out to sea. If Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao stayed here at the fish paddock, they would definitely be able to meet more often, which would be more convenient.

But the fish raft is on the sea after all. If the weather is good, this place will definitely be more comfortable. But if the weather is bad, such as strong winds and waves, even though this fish raft cost a lot of money to build by yourself and is much more stable than ordinary fish rafts, no matter how it is built, the fish raft will definitely still be shaky.

People like Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian are relatively young, so staying in the fish raft will not have much impact on them and they won't feel very uncomfortable.

But Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao are different. They are too old to withstand such storms.

It’s a bit far and not very convenient to go back to Langtou Village. The best option is definitely to buy a piece of land at the pier and build a house or something.

"There's no need for this!"

“What a waste of money!”

"We'll stay here at the fish raft for a while. When we get tired of living here, we'll go back to the village and live for a while."

Zhong Cuihua shook her head without even thinking. She knew that Ding Xiaoxiang wanted her and Huang Jintao to live more comfortably, but there was really no need to spend the money.

"grandmother!"

"How is this a waste of money?"

"If we didn't have money, we definitely wouldn't do this, but we have money now."

"What's the point of making money? Isn't it just to live a more comfortable life?"

"It doesn't cost much to build a house near the Shijiao Village Pier, but it can make us more comfortable. Apart from other things, if Zhao Dahai comes back here, he won't want to stay at the fish farm. There is a house near the pier. Isn't it like going back to his own home to sleep? Isn't this more comfortable?"

“The other one spent money to buy land and build a house.”

"Isn't this just one more house and one more piece of land?"

"Why do they keep so much money? If they buy something, especially land, they will definitely not lose money. When their children and grandchildren grow up, they will just have another inheritance, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew what Zhong Cuihua was thinking. She felt that this would cost money again, but in her opinion, there was really no need to pay attention to this matter.

There is no need to be too particular about what you eat and drink. After all, money is spent on food and drinks. However, it doesn’t matter how much money you spend on buying a house, land, or a shop. The things are in your hands, and the price will definitely go up over time.

"Yo!"

"Why didn't I think of this?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang, you are right. Buying a house and land is something that can be done!"

Zhong Cuihua nodded without thinking.
