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

Chapter 1242: Fish them up and raise them separately

"Should we move these fish to other cages?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little hesitant. What Ma Baozhu had said just now was right. Some of the black porgy and yellow porgy were already quite big. If they were left in the net cage, they might become food for those ten-jin-sized sea bass or giant grouper. It would be a pity to eat them.

"These black porgy and yellow porgy are already of good size and can be sold for money. They look really good. Why not just take these black porgy and yellow porgy or other fish that are over a pound in size and put them in other net cages."

"It would be a bit of a waste if the fish caught here every day were only placed in one cage!"

"Just separate them. This way, these black and yellow porgy, which are already about a pound in size, will have something to eat. I estimate that it won't take long for them to grow to this size."

Zhao Shi pointed to another empty net cage next to him. If there was no space, there would be no way. Now there is plenty of space. It is actually no problem to separate these larger black and yellow breams, and it is better to do so.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and nodded. If these fish that were caught could not grow up, there would be nothing to say, but now these fish can grow up, and it seems that they are growing quite fast.

In this way, the larger ones are almost the same. The black porgy and yellow porgy weighing one kilogram can be caught and put into another net cage. After being raised for a period of time, they may become large black porgy and yellow porgy weighing two or three kilograms.

I indeed don't plan to raise fish, but I'm talking about the kind of fish farming where you release fish fry. It doesn't matter if the fish grow randomly when you catch them. There's no need to spend too much time to take care of them. Anyway, they will be put into another net cage and grow as big as they can. It doesn't matter if they don't grow big or not.

"Sister Baozhu."

"Elaine."

"Let's make a decision. If the black porgy and yellow porgy grow to about one pound, we will put them in the net cage next to us."

"We don't need to bother feeding them. We don't need to worry about it."

“As many as can survive, as many as can grow.”

"Wait until the end of the year and see how big it can grow."

"Another thing is that we don't sell these fish, we just keep them in these fish farms."

"If there are other large fish weighing more than one pound, you can pick them out and put them in the net cage, but put them together. There is no need to separate them."

Ding Xiaoxiang decided that the larger fish could be picked out and placed in another net cage, but those fish should not be fed and all the fish should be put together. There was no need to release them separately. Another thing was not to buy these fish.

"We can't eat all the fish!"

"You're not going to sell it even if you keep it?"

Ding Ailian shook her head. There were no black sea bream and ring-eared eagles weighing more than one kilogram in the net cages. There were about eighty kilograms weighing one hundred kilograms.

The time for frying fish fillets is not long now, but as time goes by, there will be a lot of fish cooked like this.

"Don't worry about this for now!"

"Let's keep these fish for now, and think about other things after we have more fish!"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.

If there are too many fish, you can consider selling them. Although there are quite a few now, there is no need to sell them at this time.

"Xiaoxiang."

"That way, we will have fish in the cages at our fish farm anyway."

"Will the fish from Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant be affected?"

Zhao Shi was a little worried about this matter.

Wu Weimin's private restaurant and Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant are doing very well now. The main reason is that the fish caught by Zhao Dahai are very good. They are all natural deep-sea fish. Other competitors do not have such supply.

If there are no fish here in the fish farm, no matter what others say, it will be of no use. But once there are fish here, no matter whether these fish are fish fry or fish caught like this, there will be nothing to say when the number is small, but when the number is large, there will definitely be people complaining and saying something unpleasant.

After the news spreads, some people might think that the fish sold in Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant are problematic because they are farmed and not natural.

"This kind of thing is bound to happen. Even if we don't have any fish here, this kind of thing will definitely happen."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. The thing Zhao Shi was worried about must exist, and maybe there is such a thing in the market at this time. In fact, since he built a fish farm in this place, there will definitely be such a thing. Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant are doing very well. Those competitors will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and even Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao who were sitting next to them all looked a little nervous.

This matter is very important. It will not only affect the business of Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, and the business of Wu Weimin's private restaurant, but will also affect the business of these fish caught by Zhao Dahai.

"grandmother!"

"You don't need to worry about this!"

"There will definitely be some impact, but it's really not that big."

"The fish Zhao Dahai caught were all very big, especially the groupers, which are all valuable fish. People can afford to eat such fish. People are very picky and can tell which fish are farmed and which are wild."

"If they don't have this ability, why would they be willing to spend a lot of money to eat a fish?"

"Gold is not afraid of fire! As long as our fish are indeed caught as he did, there is no need to worry about any problems."

"Like I just said, even if we don't have any fish here, as long as we have fish, there will definitely be people talking about this."

"Raising fish is not because we are worried about others saying that our fish are farmed, but because we feel there is no need to raise these fish."

"The time and effort and cost of raising these fish is enough for us to make more money from other things."

"If you're worried about things like this, you might have to dismantle the fish farm!"

Ding Xiaoxiang saw this matter very clearly.

As long as there are fish paddocks in this place, there will definitely be people spreading such rumors, especially Wu Weimin, Liu Gang and Liu Lei, their own competitors, who will definitely release such news intentionally or unintentionally.

Did you remove the fish fillet?

This is simply impossible!

So what if there are no fish fillets?
Zhao Dahai catches so many fish every time he goes out to sea. There must be people who will use this to make a fuss and say that it is impossible for anyone to catch so many fish at sea, and these fish must have been bought from somewhere else.

Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming and Zhong Cuihua kept nodding their heads. What Ding Xiaoxiang said made a lot of sense. This was the fact.

Zhao Dahai caught so many fish that he had no idea how many people had said that these were not fish he had caught but were fish he had taken from fishing boats or fish cages. What was the result?
Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant are doing extremely well!
"Correct!"

"We really think too much about this matter. What are the qualities of the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea? For people like Wu Weimin, Liu Gang and Liu Lei, or those who pay for them, it is really not a difficult thing, especially for those of us who grew up in seaside fishing villages."

Shi Guangming finally understood that he had been worrying too much. This matter was actually that simple and there was no need to pay attention to it. As long as these fish were really caught by Zhao Dahai in Shanghai, it would not have any impact whether there were fish raised in the fish farm or not.

If you are worried about such things, or if you can say that such things can be turned black as white and black as white, then there is nothing to say.

To put it bluntly, even if Wu Weimin, Liu Gang and Liu Lei don't buy Zhao Dahai's fish, so what?
Can’t Zhao Dahai sell these fish?

I don’t know how many people were vying to get the fish that Zhao Dahai caught, but they really couldn’t buy them.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Yang Qin and others finished their meal and took a rest. The cage they bought was delivered to them.

Shi Guangming left the fish farm in the morning, not knowing what was going on. When he heard that there were big white eels here and was planning to set up cages to catch them, he immediately remembered something.

"correct!"

"Shouldn't I go ask someone if these fishing boats or speedboats around here belong to people who have been fishing nearby?"

“I heard that some people specialize in fishing for big white eels in this place.”

"It looks like there really is a school of white eels near this spot on the pier!"

Shi Guangming immediately remembered that when he asked someone not long ago, he was told that these speedboats and fishing boats were not only used for fishing here, but also for fishing eels. In many cases, the eels caught were much more valuable and could make more money than the fish caught.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Could this be the main reason why many people still fish here even though we see these speedboats or fishing boats not catching many fish?"

“These people are not here to fish primarily, but to catch big eels?”

Yang Qin suddenly remembered this incident.

The speedboats or small fishing boats around here can't catch much fish. This is actually the main reason why people like us think there is something wrong with the people on these speedboats or small fishing boats.

But if these people were not just fishing, but potentially fishing for giant white eels, that would be another matter.

If you catch an eel weighing five or six kilograms, or even eight or ten kilograms, the cost of catching it for three to five days, let alone one day, is enough, and you can even make a profit.

Speedboats or small fishing boats don't cost much near the pier.

"It is true that there is such a possibility. These speedboats or small fishing boats are probably fishing for big white eels while staying in this place to fish. Another reason is that there are more fish paddocks now, and they think that big fish may come out from the fish paddocks."

Shi Guangming slapped his thigh hard. What Yang Qin said was very likely.

"Humph!"

"Shi Guangming."

"I said, what on earth is going on with you?"

"There are large white eels, or other eels, in places like the pier. Don't you know this?"

Zhao Shi didn't know what to say when he saw Shi Guangming like this. If it was somewhere else, it would be understandable that Shi Guangming didn't know, but this was the Shijiao Village Pier, Shi Guangming was from Shijiao Village, and he had lived in this place for more than 70 years. If he didn't know about such things, it really didn't make sense.

"Ugh!"

"What can I say about this? I really don't understand what's going on!"

Shi Guangming was very helpless. He really didn't know where he could catch large white eels or other eels near the pier.

I go fishing in Shanghai with my fishing boat, and I seldom stay at the dock, or interact with people fishing near the dock.

From this point of view, I don’t know if this matter is justifiable. But after all, these are people from Shijiao Village, and this place is the dock of Shijiao Village. If they have lived for sixty or seventy years and never knew about this matter, it is still a bit unreasonable.

"Forget it!"

"There really is nothing we can do about this matter. Anyway, you don't really know much about this area."

Zhao Shi really didn't know what to say.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhong Cuihua and others all laughed. It was not Shi Guangming's fault, but it was also a bit hard to explain.

"If there are any big eels here, whether they are big white eels or some other eels, I estimate that they might have run under our fish raft by now!"

Shi Guangming immediately changed the subject.

The pier is definitely a place that can shelter from the rain, and many people fish there all day long.

However, most of the other places around the pier have deeper water, but there are few reefs on the seabed.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that there will be fish hiding in places like this. It’s not that there are no fish, but there are not many. Or even if there are fish, these fish will swim around and stay in a fixed place.

But Ding Xiaoxiang and her group have now built a fish farm near the pier.

The fish farm is built very deep, and the entire cage is more than ten meters.

A place like this is a natural reef, a good place to hide fish.

Another is that fish fillets will have more food.

Bigger fish will have more food, and with smaller fish there will be bigger fish.

If there are large eels near the pier, some of them will definitely stay at the pier, but there is still a possibility that they will run under the net cages.

Why can the nets on the water surface always catch a big white man? It is because a lot of eels have gathered under the net cages.

This is the only way something like this could happen.

Why did so many speedboats and small fishing boats suddenly appear around? Isn't it clear that there may be a lot of fish around the fish farm? At least the fish in the surrounding sea will gather near the fish farm.
