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

Chapter 906: No Luck
"Shi Jiehua!"

"Looking at the current situation, it's really not easy to catch this big croaker!"

He Jian was a little anxious.

Although he had known for a long time that the large croaker weighing 100 to 80 kilograms was very difficult to catch here, Gao Zhicheng caught one as soon as he cast his rod. His appetite was immediately piqued, and he thought that he should be able to catch some, and a lot.

Now several hours have passed and I haven't caught any fish. I'm a little disappointed.

"What can we do? We can't catch any fish now. Boss Gao Zhicheng and his men are smoking and chatting while waiting for dinner. Let's have a good sleep and wait until the early morning to see if we can catch any fish!"

Shi Jiehua was also very depressed. He and He Jian both thought that they should be able to catch some fish this time. Unexpectedly, there was a 180-degree turn. There were indeed fish on the seabed, but they just wouldn't bite.

Gao Zhicheng and his colleagues are not inexperienced. Look at the past few hours, they have tried many methods and techniques, but to no avail.

The only way now is to wait until the early morning to see if the fish will bite. If the situation is still like this, then there is really no other way but to gamble on luck and time to see if you can catch it.

Shi Jiehua put down the walkie-talkie and went to the kitchen, shouting that they had to start cooking immediately and prepare midnight snacks. When he returned to the cab, he took the walkie-talkie and asked about the fishing situation of small croaker on Shi Zhongwei's sea fishing boat, which was going very smoothly.

Shi Jiehua breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least it was 100% certain that he would make money this time. He Jian had already said that more and more boats had come here in the past few days. It seemed that Zhao Dahai's analysis was correct. This month was the best time to make money. After this month, the number of sea fishing boats that came here would be astonishing. Even the small croakers in the sea would be almost gone. Or maybe there were too many fishing boats and the competition was too fierce, so there were too many people and too little porridge. Each boat could not catch too many fish, and it would suddenly be no different from other fishing spots.

Nine p.m.

Shi Jiehua walked onto the deck and took a look. They had just had dinner an hour ago, and now everyone was having a midnight snack. Five or six people, or seven or eight people gathered together, and there was no one standing by any of the fishing spots watching.

"Boss Wu, Boss Gao, Boss Xu, are you guys here to fish or to have fun?"

You Jiehua walked to the place where Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and Xu Yuanjiang were gathered and took a look. There was really no one standing at the edge of the fishing spot, and no one was watching the rod and reel. In this way, even if a fish was hooked, it would have to run away.

"what!"

"What are you worried about?"

"More than 40 people are fishing here to see who will catch the fish first and who will lose the fish first."

"Just wait until someone runs away with the fish, then we can start fishing seriously!"

Wu Weimin laughed loudly.

It is already evening since we started fishing. During such a long time, only Gao Zhicheng caught a fish at the beginning, and there was no movement after that.

For the first three or four hours, everyone stood at the edge of the fishing spot, staring at their own rods. Now everyone is tired and waiting to see whose hook is bitten by a fish. If a fish escapes, it means the fish has started to bite, and then everyone will stand at the edge of the fishing spot and wait.

"Come on, come on!"

"It's calm now, Shi Jiehua, you don't need to stay in the cab all the time."

"Eating something and drinking a couple of beers won't delay anything."

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he took a cup, poured a glass of beer and handed it to Shi Jiehua.

Shi Jiehua nodded, sat directly on the deck, took a sip of the wine, and grabbed a handful of peanuts.

"There are indeed fish here, but it's really not easy to catch a croaker weighing 100 to 180 kilograms."

"It looks like it will take a lot of time to grind it slowly here."

Shi Jiehua turned his head and looked at the sea. Under the light, a lot of small fish gathered, swimming around in groups. The big croakers were all staying at a depth of 140 meters, but they just wouldn't bite the hook, which was really a headache.

"Ugh!"

"I really hope Zhao Dahai can be on this ship."

"One is that thinking of more ways means more opportunities, right? The other is that even if we can't catch any fish, Zhao Dahai can still catch some himself, right? We're all happy to see that, aren't we?"

Wu Weimin was a little depressed and drank the full glass of beer in one breath.

The last time they went out to sea, the methods Zhao Dahai thought of were useless to them and they couldn't catch any fish. Only Zhao Dahai could catch fish. Seeing hundreds or even hundreds of kilograms of croaker being pulled onto the fishing boat one after another, they felt very excited even though they couldn't catch any.

Zhao Dahai is not on the fishing boat now. He and Gao Zhicheng and others have thought of some solutions, but there are not many.

"what!"

"I think if Zhao Dahai was on the sea fishing boat, our luck would be better!"

Xu Tianhua took a sip of beer, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin both nodded. Zhao Dahai was very good at fishing but his luck was also very good.

"correct!"

"Captain Stone!"

"Didn't He Jian and Shi Zhongwei's sea fishing boat come here a few days ago to catch small croakers?"

"How was the fishing?"

Wu Weimin pointed to a few lights not far away. They were He Jianshi's ship and the other two sea fishing boats.

A smile immediately appeared on Shi Jiehua's face. The sea fishing boats of He Jian and Shi Zhongwei all caught a lot of croaker.

"Boss Wu."

"I wonder if you guys are interested in fishing for 10-8 catties, 20-30 kg croaker?"

Shi Jiehua looked at the several sea fishing boats owned by Shi Zhongwei and He Jian not far away, and even the one owned by He Jian closest to him. He could vaguely see that the lights on the deck were on, and Wu Dabing and his men were fishing.

"what!"

"If we can't catch a big croaker after fishing for ten days or so, maybe we'll have to go fishing for a small croaker to satisfy our craving for fish. We can't go home empty-handed, right?"

When Wu Weimin heard what Shi Jiehua said, he wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought it would be better not to be too confident, in case he caught a big croaker after a while and he and his people wanted to catch a small one, he would be embarrassed, or Gao Zhicheng and others would definitely laugh at him for this.

"Wu Weimin!"

"What are you doing? Didn't we come here to catch only 100-80 kg giant croaker?"

……

"what!"

"Wu Weimin, your words are really undermining your own prestige, aren't they?"

……

Gao Zhicheng and Xu Tianhua were both delighted.

"oh!?"

"Do you dare to say that you will never go fishing for a croaker weighing 20 or 30 kilograms?"

Wu Weimin glanced at Gao Zhicheng and Xu Tianhua.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin were speechless. They really just wanted to catch a 100-80 kg croaker, but it didn't matter if they couldn't catch one or two days. They could definitely hold on. But if they really couldn't catch a single fish for ten days or half a month, how could they not catch a 30 kg croaker? Now they really didn't dare to say so confidently.

Wu Weimin knew Gao Zhicheng and Xu Tianhua were scared when he saw them like this. "Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin made money again this time!"

Xu Tianhua immediately changed the subject. He knew that Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin, who had gone fishing with the sea fishing boat last time, came here to catch croakers. Shi Jiehua had just said it very clearly. These people had already caught a lot of croakers. Needless to say, they made a lot of money again.

"Most of Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin and others are now on He Jian's sea fishing boat. There is also another sea fishing boat that is also used by people who booked a spot last time to go fishing."

"He Jian and Shi Zhong's fishing boats went out to sea a few days earlier than us. Now they can earn back their boat fare by catching giant croakers!"

“Every fish you catch from now on is money.”

Shi Jiehua nodded.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

It gets colder and colder when the sea breeze blows over.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Shi Jiehua yawned and looked at the deck. There was almost no one on it. They were all sitting on the gun carriages with bells clamped on them.

"Hey!"

"What's the use of this? Even if a fish is caught, who will watch the rod? Who will reel it in?"

Shi Jiehua shook his head.

There was no one on the board, everyone ran back to bed to sleep. Even if a fish really took the bait at this time, even if the bell rang, no one could push the electric winch to reel in the line in time, and I couldn't hear it at all staying in the cab.

Shi Jiehua picked up the telescope and looked at He Jian's fishing boat not far away, and then looked at Shi Zhongwei and the other two fishing boats. The deck was brightly lit and full of people, all fishing for croaker. This is the difference between going out to sea to fish and just catching big fish for the feel and to make money. Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin saw that they couldn't catch any fish, and now they can't hold on anymore and go back to sleep, but Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin have been fishing on the deck. As long as they can catch something, they won't sleep for 24 hours, or even 48 hours.

Shi Jiehua lit a cigarette, took a few puffs to refresh himself, then picked up the brewed strong tea and took a few big gulps. Feeling a little bit more uncomfortable, he took the intercom and called He Jian.

"Is it still possible to catch a lot of fish at this time?"

"The fish in the sea are going crazy!"

……

"It's been several days, and the fish are still biting. Even though the wind and waves were strong yesterday, the weather has changed and it has improved. When I started fishing, the fish started biting immediately."

……

“This is a really great place!”

"It's a pity that there are more and more fishing boats coming here now. Now we can only catch as many as we can."

……

Shi Jiehua and He Jian chatted intermittently, and before they knew it, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

The sky first showed a pale sky, and then the sun, as bright as a salted egg yolk, rose up.

Shi Jiehua saw Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others coming out of the cabin one after another and going to their respective fishing spots.

Shi Jiehua was a little nervous. After waiting for a while, he found that no one had caught any fish and all the fish were being collected and replaced with new bait.

"Hey!"

"For the entire night, there were more than 40 fishing spots, but no one caught any fish!"

Shi Jiehua was very disappointed.

"what!"

"Shi Jiehua, didn't you say that? Boss Gao Zhicheng and his men all went back to the cabin to sleep. It would be a miracle if we could catch any fish like this!"

He Jian cursed with a smile.

"Forget it!"

"I really feel that when Boss Gao Zhicheng came here and caught that fish, it was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"

"Don't even think about catching a croaker like this in the next few days!"

Shi Jiehua had completely given up hope. All he did was wait for the intercom inside, call someone to come and drive the fishing boat, and then go back to sleep.

He Jian smiled. He didn't care whether he could catch a 100-80 kg croaker or not. It was enough as long as the people on his fishing boat could catch small croaker.

Langtou Village.

3pm.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat away from the dock. At the beginning, the speed was not fast and he moved forward slowly.

"Zhao Dahai!"

“Did you buy a large seafood transport ship?”

Zhong Shizhu stood at the bow of the speedboat with his eyes wide open, staring at the sea in front of him.

I had heard about this matter a few days ago, but I thought it would take another ten days or half a month to capture the fishing boat.

I didn't expect this to happen so quickly. The key is that Zhao Dahai just said that this fishing boat can carry 20 tons of live fish and 15 tons of frozen fish.

Zhong Shizhu found it a little hard to imagine how big this fishing boat was.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Could this be true? The fishing boat has already been purchased and is docked at the Shijiao Village Pier."

"Aren't we going over to check out this fishing boat now?"

Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat and slowly slowed down. The weather had been bad for the past three days, so he only went fishing nearby. Another thing he had been busy with was that the Dahai boat had been taken down, so now he was going to the Shijiao Village Pier to check out the boat.

"So what if it can hold and pull 35 tons of fish?"

"If there is a need, let alone a 35-ton ship, Zhao Dahai can buy it even if it is a 350-ton ship!"

Lei Dayou glanced at Zhong Shizhu.

"what!"

"Uncle Dayou!"

"You're right. If it's really necessary, we can buy a 350-ton fishing boat. But we really don't need it now. 35 tons is enough. We're not going deep-sea fishing, we're just fishing!"

Zhao Dahai was not bragging. Even if it was a 350-ton fishing boat, he could afford to buy it now. However, he did not need more than 35 tons, so it was enough for him.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat faster and faster. The winter breeze was very strong, and the splashing sea water hit people's bodies and faces, but he didn't care at all. He was very excited as he would soon see the big fishing boat he had just bought.
