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

Chapter 925 Ding Dawen is anxious!

"But then again, the next time we go out to sea, we must bring some fishing rods and other things on the fishing boat."

"Although our fishing boat is not in the island and reef foam area, it is not too far away. After all, there will always be a few sea bass running to our vicinity. Who knows, we may be able to catch them."

Zhao Shi looked at the vast sea in front of him. The location where the fishing boat was docked was several hundred meters away from the island and reef foam area. There was definitely no way to catch the sea bass there directly, but the distance was not too far after all. There must be a possibility that sea bass would appear on the surrounding sea. He, Shi Guangming, Ding Dawen and the people on the fishing boat had nothing to do at this time. It was impossible for them to sleep all the time. There was really not much else to do on the boat, and fishing was definitely a very important one among them.

"Second Grandpa."

"Isn't the water deep where our fishing boat is now? Who knows, maybe we can catch some grouper here."

"We need to have all the rods and everything ready for the next trip."

Ding Dawen has been busy with the fishing boat these days and has not had time to prepare the fishing rod.
I am here waiting for Zhao Dahai to come back from fishing on his speedboat. There is nothing else to do, so I can fish slowly. If I really catch something, I will catch it. If I don’t catch anything, forget it. There is plenty of time anyway.

"Correct!"

"We definitely need rods and other things, and we need to get some fishing nets and traps, etc."

"what!"

"Zhao Shi."

"Before the Chinese New Year, we followed Zhao Dahai to the artificial island to fish. Didn't we bring crab cages with us?"

"We caught a lot of good stuff, not to mention the winter crabs. The blackhead fish alone can be sold for a lot of money."

Shi Guangming immediately thought of the crab cages that he and Zhao Shi had placed before the Chinese New Year last year.

"Correct!"

“This is a must!”

Zhao Shi nodded and reminded Ding Dawen that he must prepare these things before the next trip out to sea. Their fishing boats were parked here waiting for Zhao Dahai. There was plenty of time, and they could catch fish whether they were fishing or setting traps.

"what!"

"Ding Dawen."

"I have to tell you, you might be able to make two thousand dollars a month just by fishing like this or digging traps."

Shi Guangming looked at Ding Dawen. He was really not kidding.

If you come here specifically for fishing or setting traps, making so little money a month is definitely not enough and not cost-effective. However, Ding Dawen came here to park his fishing boat and wait for Zhao Dahai to go fishing. He has nothing to do anyway, so it is normal to make a little more money in a month by fishing or setting traps. There is no cost, so it is very cost-effective.

"Isn't this good?"

Ding Dawen shook his head. He was paid to work on the fishing boat. What Shi Guangming said clearly meant that the fish he caught were his, and the fish, shrimps and crabs caught in the crab cages were his.

"what!"

"What's the problem with this? As long as it doesn't delay Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's serious business, it doesn't matter."

"For people like you who work at sea, all the fish you catch while waiting on the boat are yours."

Shi Guangming waved his hand.

"Ok!"

"There is really no problem with this matter!"

Zhao Shi nodded. Ding Dawen didn't need to worry about this. In fact, this was a tacit rule for people going out to sea. There was no such thing as everything belonging to the boss during working hours. As long as it didn't delay things, fishing a little or putting crabs in crab cages would be personal property. No boss would care about this.

Zhao Shi told Ding Dawen that the last time he and Shi Guangming went fishing was before the Chinese New Year when they followed Zhao Dahai's fishing boat. In about a month, they set up crab cages and caught a lot of blackhead fish. After selling the fish, most of the money belonged to him and Shi Guangming.

Zhao Dahai just took a little gas money according to industry practice, just as a token of his appreciation.

There is really nothing wrong with Shi Guangming shouting that Ding Dawen can go fishing or put out crab cages to catch some fish, shrimps and crabs while waiting for Zhao Dahai's fishing boat.

"All right!"

"Then I have to prepare all the poles and crab pots for the next trip."

Ding Dawen looked at Zhao Shi and then at Shi Guangming, but was still a little worried. He planned to ask his father Ding Lihua after he returned. If there really was such a rule and there was no problem in doing so, he could do so himself.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were experienced men. When they saw Ding Dawen's look, they knew that he was still a little worried. They thought that this was not a good thing, so they didn't say anything more. Such things had to be found out by Shi Guangming himself before he would really do it. Otherwise, no matter what they said, even if Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang said there was no problem, it would be useless.

Island bubble area.

Xu Xiaochui swung the pole forward with force, and the live shrimp hanging on it flew out and fell into the flowing water seven or eight meters away.

Xu Xiaochui waited until the live shrimp fell about two meters to the bottom of the sea, then he picked up the fishing rod and led the live shrimp to stop swimming downstream.

I have been fishing for sea bass here for almost two hours this afternoon. The harvest is not very good, but it is not bad.

Xu Xiaochui took a look at the open live water tank, which contained about 60 kilograms of sea bass.

Now is the time when the sea bass will really bite hard in the afternoon, and the tide is not strong enough. It may be possible to catch a few large sea bass in a while.

If I can really catch it, I can still make a few hundred dollars today.

"Big brother."

"It's really hard to catch grouper at the Windmill Foot fishing spot. There are so many speedboats floating there. We didn't see many speedboats catching any fish yesterday."

While Xu Xiaochui was waiting for the sea bass to take the bait, he was talking to his elder brother Xu Dachui who was standing next to him.

Yesterday, my elder brother Xu Dachui and I went to Fengchejiao fishing spot to fish for big grouper, but we still didn't catch any.

"Ugh!"

"What can we do? It seems that this grouper is really difficult to catch. We have to spend more time and money to have a chance to catch it."

Xu Dachui felt a very clear and fierce bite on the rod in his hand. He raised the rod vigorously to stab the fish, and quickly turned the spinning wheel to reel in the line. Two minutes later, a five or six pound sea bass was pulled out of the water.

Xu Dachui pulled the fish steadily to the side of the speedboat, took out the scoop net and scooped up the fish.

Xu Dachui couldn't help but shake his head again as he looked at the sea bass. He had not made any money in the past few trips to the Windmill Foot fishing spot or even some other fishing spots for grouper. They were all losses. If he and his brother Xu Xiaochui wanted to catch grouper in the future, they would have to keep paying out money. It was really hard to say when they would be able to make money.

"It's better to fish for sea bass. It's so easy!"

Xu Xiaochui raised his rod and stabbed the fish. When he pulled it back to the speedboat, he saw that it was a sea bass weighing three or four pounds. It was indeed not as valuable as grouper, but he and his elder brother Xu Dachui were very familiar with it, so it was much easier to catch.

Xu Xiaochui was very depressed. If he was not forced, he really would not want to go fishing for grouper. It was just that Zhao Dahai came here to fish, and the income of himself and his elder brother Xu Dachui was greatly affected, so he had to try fishing for grouper.

"Oh, right!" "How are Song Tianping and Cao Hong?"

Xu Xiaochui picked up the scoop net at his feet and pulled up the sea bass. He suddenly remembered that Song Tianping and Cao Hong had gone to Fengchejiao fishing spot to catch grouper just like his two brothers.

"Humph!"

"We two brothers couldn't catch it, how could they possibly catch it?"

Xu Dachui sneered.

Song Tianping and Cao Hong both went to the Fengchejiao fishing spot, hoping to catch grouper, but the place was quite large and they didn't see each other while they were fishing. But when they returned to the dock, the news had already spread that they hadn't caught anything.

"Ugh!"

"It looks like I need to spend more time and burn more gas to see if I can find some new fishing spots."

"Otherwise, we two brothers can only go fishing for some black porgy or something like that. It's extremely difficult to catch grouper."

"I just can't figure it out. At the beginning, Zhao Dahai only fished for grouper at Fengchejiao fishing spot, and there were reports that he caught a lot of grouper many times."

"Could it be that Zhao Dahai's fishing skills are really so amazing that there are so many speedboats and so many people fishing for grouper, and no one can catch more fish than Zhao Dahai anywhere?"

Xu Xiaochui was very angry. He and his elder brother Xu Dachui had tried several times but failed to catch a single grouper.

"Do you find your own fishing spot? It's not impossible. The method is actually very simple. Just drive the speedboat and keep running, watching the fish and looking for any structure."

"The sea is quite deep, so you can go fishing wherever there are rocks on the seabed to see if you can catch any fish."

"But the cost is too high. We really can't afford it."

Xu Dachui simply pretended not to hear what Xu Xiaochui said about Zhao Dahai being good at fishing. It was nothing but envy or jealousy. There was no point in talking about whether Zhao Dahai was good at fishing or not. One reason was that Zhao Dahai was really good, and the other was that saying such things would not benefit himself and Xu Xiaochui in any way in making money from fishing.

"It would be really difficult to catch grouper if you don't do this!"

Xu Xiaochui sighed and frowned. How could he not know that doing this would cost a lot of money, but he really couldn't think of any better way.

"Forget it!"

"What's the point of talking about this now? Let's go fishing first!"

Xu Dachui didn't have any better idea. He could only point to the flowing water in front of him and start fishing. He would do it later after he was done.

Ding Dawen held a telescope in his hand and looked carefully at the direction of the open sea. Now another hour had passed.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were smoking their hookahs leisurely. Ding Dawen had been a little anxious during this period, but the two of them had rich experience and were not worried at all.

"what!"

"Is this Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

"Correct!"

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is back!"

Ding Dawen shouted loudly, put down the telescope in his hand, rushed out of the cab, went up to the deck, and shouted loudly to several people in the village who grew up with him to get ready to work immediately.

"Ah!"

"Ding Dawen was really a little worried just now!"

Shi Guangming was referring to Ding Dawen who was quickly making preparations on the deck.

"How can people who go out to sea return on time 100% of the time?"

"Ding Dawen has no experience in this area, but he will get used to it after a while!"

Zhao Shi smiled.

Although Ding Dawen grew up in a seaside fishing village, no one in his family went out to sea to fish or catch fish.

I am not too familiar with these things at sea, but it will take me less than ten days to understand what is going on.

"Yo!"

"It looks like Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish during this trip to the artificial islands and reefs."

Shi Guangming looked at the black dot in the distance. It seemed to be moving a bit fast, but in fact, for Zhao Dahai's speedboat, this speed was already very slow. It must be that a lot of fish were caught, which affected the speed of the speedboat. This might be the reason why Zhao Dahai came back here at this time.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai is quite capable. He always has a good catch every time he goes out to sea. I guess he brought in several thousand kilograms of fish this time. I wonder if it's grouper or something else?"

As Zhao Shi spoke, he walked out of the cab and onto the deck. Zhao Dahai's speedboat would be back here soon, so he had to take a good look at what kind of fish he had caught.

"Why would you need a grouper? Even if you catch a common black bass or a sea bass weighing several thousand kilograms, you can make a lot of money."

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi walked out together.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai is really back. It looks like he caught a lot of fish. This speedboat is relatively slow, and the water is quite deep."

Ding Dawen watched Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming go up on the deck, and pointed at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, which was less than 200 meters away. He could see clearly that it had a very deep draft and must be loaded with a lot of fish.

"it is good!"

"Very good, I really made a lot of money this time."

Shi Guangming nodded vigorously. Ding Dawen was right. Zhao Dahai's speedboat did have a deep draft and its speed was a bit slow. Otherwise, with such strong horsepower, it would have returned long ago. The reason it was driving so slowly was that its draft was too deep, and for safety reasons it did not drive too fast.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and slowly approached the big fishing boat.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are all very experienced. They have done this several times before and had already packed the fish in large net bags. The newly purchased fishing boat has a special crane, which is very convenient and fast.

As the sun sets, the corner of the sky turns fiery red.

Zhao Dahai asked Zhong Shizhu and learned that all the fish had been moved upstairs.

Zhao Dahai shouted and said hello to his second grandfather Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming and Ding Dawen on the fishing boat, then drove the speedboat back to Langtou Village with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.
