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

Chapter 912: Change Points with a Prompt Decision
"what?"

"Where's the fishing boat?"

Zhao Dahai drank a few more sips of water, put down his kettle, and looked at the sea on both sides. He always felt that something was wrong. It took him a while to realize that he didn't see the big fishing boat.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"At around four o'clock but less than five o'clock, Uncle Shi Guangming had already arrived at the dock, and Uncle Zhao arrived not long after."

"After boarding the large sea ship, we left after a while."

"It looks like Ding Dawen can't wait to start the fishing boat. I guess he didn't get much sleep last night."

Zhong Shizhu drove the speedboat faster and faster, heading directly towards the foam area of ​​the island reef.

Zhao Dahai then realized what was going on. Ding Dawen was extremely excited. When he saw Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi on the fishing boat, he drove the boat out to sea first.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are we still going to the island reef foam area today?"

Zhong Shizhu asked Zhao Dahai where they were going fishing today.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu that today would be the same as before. They should go to the foam area first to see the tide and water flow there to see if they could catch any sea bass. If they could, they would fish there. If not, they would change places.

After Zhao Dahai finished talking about this, he went into the cabin of the speedboat and began to sleep. Nowadays, going out to sea takes a day and a night, or even two days and a night. It is very tiring. When you can sleep, you must seize the time to sleep. The longer you can sleep, the better.

When Zhao Dahai heard Liu Bin calling him, he opened his eyes and immediately felt that the speed of the speedboat had slowed down very much. He knew that they had reached the island and reef foam area. He got out of the cabin and looked around. The sky had begun to brighten and there were many speedboats in the island and reef foam area.

Zhao Dahai frowned, and the sailor picked up the kettle of strong tea, unscrewed the lid, and drank five or six mouthfuls one after another.

"What the hell!"

“Why are there so many speedboats here fishing?”

Liu Bin cursed.

"The weather has not been very good in the past few days. Some speedboats went out to sea to fish, but most speedboats could not go out to sea to fish."

"The weather is good today, so we can go fishing. Aren't they all coming here at once?"

Zhong Shizhu looked around and saw that there were really a lot of speedboats. If there were ten speedboats when he came here to fish in the past, there would be at least twenty speedboats here today, which is double the number.

"Today is really a bit troublesome."

Zhao Dahai stared at the sea and shook his head as he spoke.

The island reef foam area is the most important fishing spot for sea bass. In addition, the weather has been bad in the past few days, and most people have been staying at home and unable to make money. Now that the weather is good, they will definitely rush out, and the number of speedboats has suddenly increased.

The more people there are on the speedboat, the more intense the competition will be.

It's nothing!

No matter how many speedboats there are, no matter how many people are fishing here, the person who catches the most fish is definitely you.

The biggest problem now is not the large number of speedboats or people, but the fact that the water on the surface of the entire island and reef foam area is very calm, with almost no movement.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou followed Zhao Dahai's line of sight and looked at the sea. They immediately realized what the biggest problem was now.

"No way? Why is there no movement in the tide and water now?"

……

"Could it be that the tide is running late today?"

……

"Impossible! We have been here many times and we know the tides and currents very well. It's not to say that there are times when the tides are late, but today is definitely not a day when the tides are late."

……

"Could it be that there is no tide or water here today?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were talking to each other, cigarettes in their hands, but none of them were in the mood to fish. They came here to fish, and without tides and running water, sea bass would not come in at all, so they could not catch any fish even if they wanted to.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What are we going to do here?"

Zhong Shizhu glanced at Zhao Dahai.

If there is no tide on the sea, you can catch other fish, but you can't catch sea bass. Looking at the current situation, even if there are, there won't be too many. In addition, there are so many speedboats here that you can't catch many fish even if you have great skills.

Another thing is that if there are too few fish, it would not be worth it for him and Zhao Dahai and others to waste time here.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to wait a little longer to see if the tide would rise. If the tide didn't rise, he would leave immediately. There was no need to stay in this place for too long.

Zhao Dahai waited for half an hour, but did not wait any longer and immediately decided to leave the island foam area.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Don't we need to wait for Ding Dawen and the others to come and tell them that we are not fishing here?"

Liu Bin thought of Ding Dawen’s large sea ship.

"No need."

"It's impossible for Ding Dawen and his big ship to follow us all the time. It's impossible for them to wait for us wherever we go fishing."

"Sometimes it's a matter of speed. They absolutely can't keep up. Another more important thing is that the fishing spots we fish at are often only known to us and others don't know."

"Ding Dawen's fishing boat is so big. If it follows us and stops near the fishing spot, wouldn't it be telling others that we are fishing in a place like this?"

Lei Dayou hid in the cabin and took a puff of a cigarette before coming out. The speedboat was going too fast and the wind was too strong to light a cigarette from outside.

Zhao Dahai nodded. That was it.

The island and reef foam area is a fishing spot for sea bass nearby. Many people know about it. If Ding Dawen's sea boat is here, there is no need to worry about the location of the fishing spot being leaked. However, the locations of other fishing spots are not the same, especially artificial islands and reefs. The fishing spots are known only to oneself, and only a few others know about them. Ding Dawen's large fishing boat cannot go to the artificial islands and reefs. Ding Dawen's large fishing boat will wait here when it arrives at the island and reef foam area. If he catches a lot of fish, he will come back here to transfer the fish to the fishing boat. If he doesn't catch any fish, he will go directly to the artificial islands and reefs.

Zhao Dahai didn't need to look at the navigation because he was very familiar with the fishing spots nearby. He drove directly to the northeast. There was no tide in the island and reef foam area, so he couldn't catch sea bass. He hurried to another place to catch black porgy.

"What the hell!"

"Wasn't that Zhao Dahai's speedboat just now? How come it came and then left?" Xu Xiaochui watched Zhao Dahai's speedboat come and go, and soon there was only a black dot left, and after a few minutes it could not be seen anywhere.

"Need I say more? I saw that there was no tide and water here today, and I knew there were no sea bass here, so I immediately moved to another place."

Xu Dachui looked at the direction where Zhao Dahai's speedboat disappeared and felt a little depressed. He must have changed the place to fish. There must be fish where Zhao Dahai was fishing, and there were a lot of fish. Even if there were no fish today, there would definitely be fish at another time.

If he could catch up, he would know where Zhao Dahai was fishing. His speedboat was too slow to catch up.

"what!"

"Xu Dachui."

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible to do it. Not to mention your speedboat and mine, no one else's speedboat in this area can keep up with Zhao Dahai's speedboat."

Song Tianping glanced at Xu Dachui and found that he had been staring at the direction where Zhao Dahai's speedboat disappeared. He knew that he was thinking of something.

"Ugh!"

"There's really no way around this!"

"The better you fish, the more money you can make, and the bigger the speedboat or fishing boat you can buy, the faster you can go, and the farther you can go, which in turn means you can make more money."

"What can we do?"

“I did save a little money, but the money I made from fishing here every day, or from the fish I caught every time I went out to sea, is not much different.”

Xu Dachui was a little depressed. In the past ten years or so, he had made a lot of money from fishing and felt that he was living a very good life. However, ever since Zhao Dahai came here to fish, he realized that he, his brother, Song Tianping, and the people around them who were fishing for sea bass were just frogs in a well.

"Envious?"

"How could I not be envious? But there's really nothing I can do."

Song Tianping just shook his head.

People like us fish just to make money and support our families, but Zhao Dahai makes big money by fishing.

"Xu Dachui."

"What should we do now? It looks like the tide won't come. We can forget about catching sea bass here today!"

Song Tianping took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs. At this time, the tide has not appeared yet. Based on years of experience, there may be no tide today. Even if there is, it will be very small. It is not to say that no sea bass can be caught, but it is really hard to catch many fish. Usually, Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui and I would go home to rest when we want to drive the speedboat, and wait until tomorrow or a few days later to come here to fish. After Zhao Dahai started to come here to fish for sea bass, the income of himself, Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui was affected. The weather was relatively bad these days, and they only came to fish for one day. After a month, they did not make much money, so they did not dare to go back like this.

"What else can we do? If we can't wait for the tide to come in half an hour, we'll have to move to another place."

Xu Dachui stared at the sea carefully for a few minutes and sighed. Normally, the tide at this time would be very strong, and even the foam area would have appeared. Now there was no movement at all. Sea bass follow the tide, and without the tide there would be no fish.

"Oh?"

"Where are you planning to go fishing?"

Song Tianping took two more puffs of his cigarette, and a thick cloud of smoke rushed out of his mouth. If there is no tide and water flow after waiting for another half an hour, he really has to leave, or just go home and sleep, which is better than waiting here any longer.

"Let's change the fishing spot and see if there's any tide or current. We're still not sure if we can catch other fish, so why not try somewhere else to see if there's any sea bass?"

Xu Dachui thought about it for a while and decided to go to another place to fish for sea bass. He and his team didn't have much experience in fishing for other fish.

"Xu Dachui."

"There is no tide or water in this place. If you go to another place that is the same, there may not be tide or water."

Song Tianping shook his head.

If there is no tide in the island and reef foam area, it is unlikely to have tides in other places. The possibility of catching sea bass in other places is very small.

"Oh?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Dachui glanced at Song Tianping who was smoking non-stop. What he said was right. There was no tide or water in this place, and it would be unlikely to have tide or water in other places. His previous idea was useless. It would be better for him to go home and eat and sleep.

"Haven't you been to the Windmill Foot fishing spot to catch grouper? How about we go there for a spin later?"

Song Tianping had thought about this matter a long time ago and had originally planned to go to the Fengchejiao fishing spot to take a look. But it seemed that it was impossible to catch sea bass in the island reef foam area today, so he might as well go to the Fengchejiao fishing spot to see if he could catch any fish.

"Yo!"

"Song Tianping!"

"From the looks of it, you already had a plan, right?"

When Xu Xiaochui heard Song Tianping say this, he knew that he must have thought about this matter.

"If we don't come up with this plan, what else can we do? If we continue like this, we might not be able to afford food!"

"Every time there are fish here, and when large sea bass are caught, Zhao Dahai always appears here. This is really a headache."

"There's really no other way, so I can only think about fishing somewhere else."

"Going to other fishing spots to catch sea bass is one way, but this method may not be useful every day. For example, if there is no tide or current in the island reef foam area today, it is almost 100% certain that there will be no tide or current in other places."

"So, what else can we do besides going to places like Fengchejiao Fishing Spot to catch grouper or finding a place to catch black porgy or yellow croaker?"

"Hasn't the weather been bad these past two days?"

"I simply went to the tackle shop and bought a rod, a reel and other necessary items."

"There are no sea bass here today. I thought I might as well try the Windmill Foot fishing spot and see how it goes."

Song Tianping was silent for a while and then heaved a long sigh. In the past, he and his brothers Xu Chuishui and Xu Xiaochui could live a very comfortable life by fishing for sea bass in this place. But now they can't survive and they can only think of other ways. Before, they thought of going to other fishing spots to fish for sea bass. They did catch sea bass the first time, and caught a lot of them. But the next few trips they didn't catch many fish, even less than what they caught in the island reef foam area and what Zhao Dahai caught here. In this case, the only way is to go to places like the Windmill Foot fishing spot to try and see if they can catch grouper.

"Song Tianping!"

"What are you doing here? There will be no tide today, no current, no hope of catching sea bass!"

"Let's go, let's hurry up, we still have a long way to go!"

Cao Hong drove the speedboat and slowly came in front of Song Tianping.

"Row!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Song Tianping started the speedboat, and he and Cao Hong left the island foam area and headed towards the Windmill Foot fishing spot.
