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

Chapter 1248: Keep it for Yourself

"Hey!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"In this way, if we keep placing cages here, won't we be able to catch a lot of large white eels?"

Yang Qin was very excited.

"Correct!"

"The construction of the fish farm in this place must have attracted a lot of fish, including the great white eel."

"We put a cage here and caught one in one night. And we caught one in the first cage we pulled up. Who knows, there might be quite a few down there!"

As Zhao Shi spoke, he looked at the cages placed in different places throughout the fish farm, wondering whether he should pull them all up now to see how many he could catch, but he felt that time was a little short.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Is there any need to say this? Anyway, we can put cages in our fish farms whenever we want. We can keep them there for as long as we want. Now we must first see how many we can catch!"

Yang Qin shouted loudly and pulled the first cage, and caught a fish as big as this one. Maybe she could catch more in the remaining nine cages.

"Row!"

"Yes!"

"Pull them all up and take a look!"

Zhao Shi smiled and nodded, then called out to the people on the fish farm, and all the cages were pulled up. It took almost an hour.

“I really didn’t expect that!”

"We put out 10 cages, and in just one night, we caught four large white eels."

Shi Guangming was very surprised.

These cages were put down for only one night, but we didn't expect to catch so many eels. The smallest one weighed three kilograms, and the largest one weighed more than ten kilograms.

Shi Guangming really didn't expect that there were so many big white eels on the seabed.

There might still be a lot of them on the seabed right now, otherwise it would be impossible to catch so many in such a short time.

"Are there a lot of big white eels here at the dock? If that's the case, why don't the speedboats and small fishing boats around here just put cages?"

Yang Qin took a look at the small speedboats and fishing boats around. They were all used for fishing. There were no boats carrying cages. This was really a bit strange.

"Of course there are cages, they are just concentrated around the dock. But with so many people setting them up, it's unlikely to catch any."

Shi Guangming shook his head and pointed at the pier. Someone must have released them, and there were quite a few people doing so. It's just that everyone releases cages at the pier, and the seabed around might be filled with cages. Even if there were giant white eels, they might not be caught, or there might be too few people who could catch them.

"We put cages here, and we can catch these giant white eels in just one night. The key is not whether there are any in the sea, but that we built a fish farm here, and a lot of giant white eels were attracted to gather around it."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth!"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he stomped hard on the wooden board of the fish rack under his feet.

The place with fish farms is really like an island. Another thing is that there are fish in the fish farms. The big fish eat the things that the small fish drop, and everything is food.

Or maybe the fish row itself will gather some small schools of fish, which will attract the fish to come here.

Even though the time is short, the fish in the sea have already come here.

"what!"

"What Old Man Shi said is correct. That's exactly what happened."

"There's no need to worry about this. If this place can be used to catch big white eels, we'll set up cages here every day."

"Anyway, these are my fish fillets, it would be a waste not to release them!"

"If you can't catch him in one day, let him go for two days. If you still can't catch him in two days, let him go for three to five days. There's always a chance you can catch him!"

Zhao Shi was extremely happy.

The main purpose of building the fish farm was to raise the fish that Zhao Dahai caught when he went out to sea.

What I didn't expect was that after the fish raft was built, not only did water flow appear on the water surface, but cages were placed under the fish raft to catch a lot of fish. Even cages were placed under the fish raft, and rare large white eels could be caught.

Don’t say too much, it feels very good to catch a big white eel of this size in a day, and it is worth a lot of money.

The important thing is that this money feels like it fell from the sky.

"Correct!"

"We really need to steal food from this place every day to put the cage in it!"

"If you pull it once a day or once every two or three days, you will definitely catch some. Even if you don't catch a giant white eel, you can still catch other fish."

"Even if it's Shi Jiugong that's caught, it's a big Shi Jiugong."

Ding Xiaoxiang was also very excited. She didn't expect that building a fish farm in this place would have such benefits.

“What do you do with these big white eels?”

"Can I keep it?"

Yang Qin pointed at the big white eel in the big bowl bag, whose eyes were rolling around.

"Yang Qin."

"Don't I know what you have in mind? You just want me to sell it to that fat guy Liu Lei?"

Ding Xiaoxiang cursed with a smile.

"If you can raise it, you can raise it. If you can't raise it, you must sell it!"

"Isn't it just that the good stuff should be kept within the family? Anyway, it has to be sold, and the shop owner wants to buy it, so isn't this a matter of mutual consent?"

Yang Qin was confident.

"what!"

"That makes sense."

"If we catch other fish, such as black porgy, yellow porgy or sea bass, we can definitely keep them in captivity, but we basically can't keep this kind of big white eel in captivity. It's not that we can't keep it in captivity, but we can't keep it in captivity for a long time. After all, it's a fish on the seabed. If we keep it in the fish rack for a long time, it might die, or even if it doesn't die, it will become very thin."

"There's no need for this. Just sell it."

Zhao Shi pointed to the big white eel caught in the net bag.

Other fish can be raised, but this big white eel should be sold.

"Yang Qin."

"These fish must be sold. There must be many people in your restaurant who are willing to eat them. But don't forget that you are not the only buyer of the fish in the fish rack. There is also Wu Weimin."

"Call Wu Weimin later. If you don't want them, we'll sell all the eels we caught here to your Hongyun Restaurant, except for the ones we eat. But if you want them, we can only split them in half."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that these large white eels were very popular. If Hongyun Restaurant got these large white eels, they would definitely sell them all at once. "How could Wu Weimin not want these large white eels?"

"White eels are not rare, but white eels weighing several kilograms are rare."

"Liu Lei said that some places have started to raise fish like this, but can the fish they raise be compared to this?"

Yang Qin knew that this was definitely what she wanted without having to call Wu Weimin. However, there was nothing she could do about it. The things from Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's fish fillets were to be divided equally between herself, Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, and Wu Weimin's private restaurant.

“I don’t know how many we can catch now.”

"Anyway, if you catch them, just keep them here on the fish farm. I estimate that you will be able to take them out once every five to six days, or ten days to half a month."

"correct!"

"Even if we can catch these giant white eels here, it's impossible for them to be very numerous, let alone an endless supply."

"I thought I'd see how many there are first. If there aren't many, we can just not sell them and leave them here on the fish racks so we can eat them when we want."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and felt that even if they could catch large white eels here, they couldn't catch a lot, let alone an endless supply. If there were a lot, they could be sold, but if there were only ten or eight, there was really no need to sell them. The fish fillets could be kept for the people here or for herself and Yang Qin to eat.

Yang Qin nodded. That was indeed the case.

Only sell it if there are a lot. If there are few, there is really no need to sell it. Just eat it when people want to.

White eel is delicious whether steamed or used to make porridge.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"How about we have a steamed fish for lunch? I think it will be delicious!"

Yang Qin pointed to several large white eels in the net bag.

"Is there even any need to say this? We will definitely have lunch here. With so many people here, I don't think this one will be enough. Let's just have two!"

"Where there is meat, we steam the head and tail and make soup."

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't think twice and immediately decided to cook two fish for a good meal at noon.

Ma Baozhu smiled and walked towards the kitchen carrying two net bags.

Ding Ailian picked up the remaining few net bags and hung them directly next to the fish fillets and soaked them in the water.

It's not suitable to keep it for a long time, but there's no problem keeping it like this for the time being.

These big white eels can stay in the net bag and soak in water for ten days or half a month without any problems.

As the sun rose higher, the sea became hotter.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Yang Qin, Zhong Cuihua and others all returned to the platform of the fish farm. There was a canopy here. It’s not that it’s not hot at all, but they have gotten used to it and actually feel a bit comfortable.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi."

"Why do I feel like a lot of people on the speedboat are watching us? Could it be that they saw us put the cage and caught the giant white eel just now?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to a speedboat less than fifteen meters away. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the person on it was always staring at the fish farm. He might have seen and heard everything about them pulling the cages, especially the big white eel they caught.

"Correct!"

"It's not just the people on this speedboat who are watching Chang Wen. Several speedboats a little further away are also constantly watching our fish farm."

Shi Guangming took a look and knew that what Ding Xiaoxiang said was absolutely correct. There were indeed quite a few people on the surrounding speedboats who kept looking at the fish paddock from time to time, and some of them were even pointing and talking.

"Is there any need to say this? He must have seen us put cages in this place and caught the big white eel."

"These people fish here all day long. They must know that there are giant white eels in the sea here. Maybe it's the one we dismantled. The main thing they catch here is giant white eels instead of other fish."

Zhao Shi took a puff from his hookah.

These speedboats were not far away, and they really saw the big white fish caught in the cages that their people had set up, or even if they couldn't see it, they could have guessed it.

Fishing for giant white eels must be an important source of income for these people.

Once these people put cages in the fish farm and catch giant white eels, the fishermen will definitely be greatly affected.

"Why should we care about these people?"

"We didn't put cages everywhere in the surrounding sea. We only put cages here at our fish farm. No one can say anything wrong with that."

Shi Guangming ignored this matter.

All we did was place cages in the fish farm.

If the giant white eel runs to this place, who can be blamed?

It's impossible that we don't catch these big white eels just to allow the fishermen around us to catch them.

There is no such thing in the world.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin smiled and nodded.

This is our own fish farm, and it is only natural to put cages in this place to catch fish. It is really impossible not to catch these fish.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Didn't I tell Xiaoxiang yesterday that I was planning to open a food stall at the pier?"

"Are you interested?"

"I went back tonight and discussed it with Liu Lei. There is absolutely no problem with this matter."

"There are a lot of people at the Shijiao Village Pier, and the food stalls are doing very good business."

"The place where Ding Xiaoxiang wants to see the building is closer to the pier and has a better location than those other food stalls."

"It's not a big problem to make 200,000 or 300,000 a month."

Yang Qin told Shi Guangming about this matter directly and straightforwardly.

Shi Guangming knew why Yang Qin told him this, and after thinking about it, he nodded.

This is pie in the sky, this is money made out of thin air.

You can invest some of your own money in this food stall and make money for free without having to worry about anything.

This is a good thing that only happens when everyone has a very close relationship. Otherwise, it would definitely not be like this.

There is nothing wrong with being from Shijiao Village, but Liu Gang and Liu Lei are locals. If they make money on their own, there will be no problem, and it is even less likely that they will encounter any problems.

The purpose of doing this is to make the relationship between us closer.

I have definitely taken advantage of this matter, and it is a huge advantage, but there is no need to refuse. We can wait until the next time when there is something else to do and then cooperate.

Ding Xiaoxiang saw that Yang Qin and Shi Guangming had reached an agreement on the matter, and said that there was no need to focus all the attention on the matter at the fish farm. Just do what you need to do, and there is no need to spend so much time, energy and people in this place.
