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

Chapter 924 There is no choice but to slip away!
"Who knows what happened?"

"Anyway, we can't catch any fish in this place now!"

Dong Kaiming shook his head. If he really knew what was going on, he would definitely be able to think of a way to deal with Zhao Dahai and snatch some fish.

"Zhao Dahai didn't make a nest before we came here. We came here to make a nest to see if we can attract some fish."

"Zhao Dahai saw us setting the bait and started to set the bait right away. I think it is very likely that Zhao Dahai is better at setting the bait than us. Most of the fish have already gone to his bait."

Dong Kaiming really couldn't understand why everyone was making nests, why Zhao Dahai's nests could snatch the fish from his place, but his own nests couldn't snatch the fish under Zhao Dahai's speedboat. For more than an hour, he had been observing the frequency and number of Zhao Dahai's nests. He couldn't see clearly because Zhao Dahai had his back to him, but he was 100% sure that the number of nests he made was far less than that of himself and Ma Zhizhen.

"Dry!"

"What should we do? Keep fishing here? Or should we just get closer to Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

Ma Zhizhen gritted his teeth and watched the people on Zhao Dahai's speedboat pulling in bunches of croakers. Each fish weighed thirty or forty kilograms, and all this was money.

"Oh?"

"Do you want to stick to Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

"From where Zhao Dahai is now, if we go over there, we won't be able to get too close."

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is quite large. If my speedboat gets too close, it might be dangerous."

"At most I can get about five or six meters away, but at that distance, only you can fish, I can't fish."

Dong Kaiming's face suddenly turned gloomy.

A distance of ten or eight meters is already very close. You have to know that this is the open sea, and he and Zhao Dahai are not familiar with each other at all. Even people who are familiar with each other cannot get closer.

Using the bait cage to make a nest just now was already against the rules, but I was just being petty and said that I didn't see Zhao Dahai not making a nest. Once Zhao Dahai told me not to make a nest, I would definitely stop.

Now if the speedboat continues to approach Zhao Dahai's speedboat, it can only be five or six meters at most, and cannot get any closer, and he definitely doesn't know how to fish.

Ma Zhizhen was stunned for a moment.

Dong Kaiming's words were very clear, that is, it was really impossible to get too close to Zhao Dahai's speedboat. One was big and the other was small. If the speedboats were too close, the smaller one would definitely suffer. In case of a collision, no matter whether there was a problem with Zhao Dahai's speedboat or with Dong Kaiming's speedboat, the blame would be on themselves.

Not to mention that Zhao Dahai's speedboat is extremely expensive, even if it is Dong Kaiming's speedboat, if it is bumped or scratched, the cost of repair will not be small. If such a thing really happens, not only will he not make any money from going out to sea, but he will also have to pay a lot of money.

More importantly, Dong Kaiming's speedboat could get closer to Zhao Dahai's speedboat. He would definitely be able to catch fish at a distance of about five or six meters, but Dong Kaiming didn't know how to fish.
What does this mean?
Dong Kaiming is the captain of the speedboat. If he doesn't fish, it means that it was his own idea, not Dong Kaiming's, for the speedboat to approach.

If Zhao Dahai had any opinion, it would be directed at himself, not Dong Kaiming.

I originally thought that Dong Kaiming would drive over by speedboat, and if Zhao Dahai really had any objections, he would complain to Dong Kaiming. Now that Dong Kaiming said this, I knew that my little plan would not work.

"Dong Kaiming."

"What do we do now? Are we out of here now?"

Ma Zhizhen took a deep breath. He really hoped that Dong Kaiming would drive the speedboat closer to Zhao Dahai. In this way, he would have a chance to catch thirty or forty kilograms of croaker. If he could catch eight or ten, he would not lose money and could make a lot of money. Dong Kaiming had made it very clear now that he could drive the speedboat closer, but if Dong Kaiming did not fish and he was the only one fishing, Zhao Dahai would know what was going on.

Zhao Dahai was able to catch so many fish, earn so much money, and drive such a big speedboat. There were four people on the speedboat. He and Zhao Dahai and the others were not related at all, so it was impossible for them to allow Dong Kaiming's speedboat, in which he was riding, to get so close.

"I think it's useless to stay here. We can continue fishing here but we have to change to another spot. I can't guarantee whether we can catch fish at another spot. We can only try to find a spot where we can catch fish."

"The other option is for us to just go home early."

“I have a few familiar features, but they are all on the way back, but again, there is no guarantee of catching fish.”

With his many years of fishing experience, Dong Kaiming knew that he couldn't catch any croaker at this time. It's not that he couldn't catch any, but he really couldn't catch many.

The best thing is to change the fishing spot immediately, whether it is to find another fishing spot on the artificial island reef, or to go back and try some familiar fishing spots, there is a chance to catch fish.

But I am just the captain of a speedboat. Although I am quite experienced, I still cannot guarantee 100% that I will be able to catch fish and that the person who books my fishing spot will make money.

If I really have such ability, I will learn from Zhao Dahai and go fishing at sea without anyone, or find a few people to go fishing at sea for me.

Ma Zhizhen glanced at Zhao Dahai's speedboat opposite, gritted his teeth and told Dong Kaiming to change the fishing place, but on the artificial island reef.

Dong Kaiming immediately put away his fishing rod and waited for Ma Zhizhen to do the same and drove away in the speedboat.

at noon.

Zhao Dahai took a look at the fish finder and found that the signal from the fish school on the seabed was very weak, with basically no fish left.

"OK OK!"

"We've already caught enough fish. If we keep going like this, the speedboat won't be able to hold any more!"

"Close the pole!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly that he didn't want to fish anymore.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou pushed the take-up switch of the electric winch, and while waiting for it to be taken up, they simultaneously took out cigarettes from their pockets and lit one, took a few puffs and then lit another one.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"The only problem with going fishing with you is that I can't even smoke a cigarette when I want to. This addiction is really hard to resist."

Zhong Shizhu let out a long sigh when he smoked his second cigarette. Zhao Dahai could basically find the fish schools every time he went fishing, and it was endless. He had to fish for a long time without stopping, so he really didn't have time to smoke.

"That's right!"

“This is the most troublesome part!”

Liu Bin agreed very much. This was indeed the only problem for them and Zhao Dahai when they went fishing at sea.

"what!"

“Which is more important, making money or smoking?”

"What does it matter if you smoke or not if you can make money? It's just the right thing to smoke less, save some money, and it's good for your health."

Lei Dayou quickly finished his second cigarette and immediately lit another one. Zhao Dahai drank water in big gulps. He came here yesterday to fish for grouper, and then for croaker. It was already past twelve o'clock, and he was really hungry, tired and sleepy.

At first, Zhao Dahai wanted to hurry back, but it was impossible. He had to cook something to eat and fill his stomach before going back, otherwise he couldn't bear it.

While Zhao Dahai was cooking, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou started to clean up the croaker they had caught.

Croaker is different from the grouper we caught before. Grouper must be alive to be sold at a good price, but there is no need to worry about this for croaker.

I have been busy fishing for croakers over the past few hours. Some of the caught croakers are in the live tank, some are thrown into the refrigerator, but most of them are on the deck of the speedboat. Now we are preparing to go back, and all these croakers must be put into the cold storage or refrigerator.

"I estimate it to be around 4,000 kilograms, plus the croakers we caught last night before the fishing class."

"We've got a little over 10,000 catties of fish!"

……

"You caught a lot of grouper, didn't you?"

"I dare not say that there must be three or four thousand kilograms, right?"

……

"correct!"

"What about the one on the speedboat? When did he run away?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou worked while talking. They packed up all the fish they caught and put them either in the cold storage or in the big refrigerator on the deck of the speedboat.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou checked the groupers they had caught again. One grouper weighing about 20 kilograms was dead, but the rest were all alive and kicking.

Zhao Dahai simply cooked some noodles. Now was not the time to eat a good meal. Filling his stomach was the most important thing.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their noodles and drove the speedboat away from the artificial island and reef and headed back to the foam area of ​​the island and reef.

3pm.

Island bubble area.

The tide began to rise, and foam areas appeared one after another on the sea surface. However, the tide was not flowing fast enough, so the foam areas were not large. Some places where foam areas usually appeared were even just small whirlpools.

Ding Dawen stood on the deck of the fishing boat and stared at the direction of the open sea with wide eyes. There were some black spots in the distance, which were fishing boats, but these black spots moved very slowly, so they could not be Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"Second Grandpa."

"Why haven't Zhao Dahai and the others come back yet?"

Ding Dawen was a little anxious. It was already quite late and there was no sign of Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"Why should we rush? Zhao Dahai coming back later means we can catch more fish."

"One is that you have to keep fishing, and the other is that if there are more fish on the speedboat, the return speed will definitely be slower."

Zhao Shi wasn't worried at all.

Normally, Zhao Dahai would probably come back early in the morning to fish for sea bass in the foam area of ​​the island reef, or even if it was late, he would only come back at noon. Now it is indeed a little late.

However, the time for fishermen who go out to sea to return cannot be very fixed. It is impossible for them to come back at three o'clock. Sometimes they have to follow the tide. It may be three o'clock today and four o'clock tomorrow, and five o'clock the day after tomorrow.

Generally speaking, for people who go out to sea to fish, it is a good thing to come back later, because most of the time they can catch more fish.

"There's a tide and current here this afternoon! Who knows, we might be able to catch some sea bass!"

Shi Guangming was as relaxed as Zhao Shi and not worried at all. Zhao Dahai's speedboat was very large, and Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all very experienced people, so there was no possibility that there would be any danger. The only possibility was that Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish on this trip out to sea and came back late.

Shi Guangming pointed to the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs not far away. This was the afternoon tide, and a small tide at that. Although it didn't look big, there were still sea bass flowing in with the tide. However, there were not too many of them, and they were not too big. But even so, there were still many speedboats coming to the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs to fish at this time.

"Zhao Shi."

"How about we get a speedboat to this big fishing boat next time?"

"When you get bored waiting here, go to the island reef foam area and fish for sea bass."

"We have nothing to do anyway."

"Let these young men see what we old men are really capable of."

Shi Guangming took a deep puff of the hookah in his hand and pointed to the foam area of ​​the island reef not far away.

"Humph!"

"I'm telling you, you just have nothing to do. Why do you need another speedboat?"

"If you want to go fishing, can't you just follow Zhao Dahai on his speedboat when he goes fishing here, or when he goes fishing somewhere else?"

"Ding Dawen can now look after the fishing boat by himself. It doesn't matter whether the two of us are on this fishing boat or not. When the fishing boat came here, it was already parked here waiting for Zhao Dahai to come back."

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming. He was really looking for trouble. There was no need to do this.

Ding Dawen was basically able to handle things on his own, especially since the seagoing ship could just stay here when it arrived, and there was no danger at all. It didn't matter whether he and Shi Guangming were on the fishing boat or not.

"Forget it!"

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat has to go out to sea to fish and make money. We two old men can't insist on going out to sea with him."

"Once or twice is fine, but what's the big deal about going out to sea every day?"

"Besides, traveling to a place like an artificial island and reef for such a long distance would break both of our bones."

Shi Guangming shook his head.

Zhao Shi found it a bit funny. At the beginning, Shi Guangming really wanted to go fishing with Zhao Dahai on the speedboat, but he quickly realized that he had to teach Ding Dawen how to drive the fishing boat. Although Ding Dawen can indeed handle things on his own now, it has only been a few days. If Shi Guangming really ignored Zhao Dahai and went fishing on the speedboat, it would be unacceptable. You know, Shi Zhongwei wanted to marry Ding Dawen's younger sister Ding Ailian.
