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

Chapter 947 Unreasonable Fishing
Four p.m.

On the sea.

The sun is westward.

very hot.

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da that they did not need to use the pole on the gun mount, but just drank some water and smoked a cigarette.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou heard what Zhao Dahai said, they knew that today's fishing was basically over.

"Today is really a big fish day."

"Not bad, not bad! Very good! We caught a lot of fish today!"

Zhong Shizhu did not drink the water but lit a cigarette and started smoking. He glanced at the open lid of the live water tank, which was packed with groupers. Today, he, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and Zhao Dahai had caught a lot of groupers again.

"what!"

"We are really happy, but I guess not many people on the other speedboats are happy at all!"

As Liu Bin spoke, he pointed to some other speedboats on the surrounding sea.

There must be big fish at the Windmill Foot fishing spot, otherwise Zhao Dahai and his people would never be able to catch so many fish. However, many of the speedboats around did not catch any decent catches.

"I guess a lot of people are thinking that they would rather not catch any fish, so that we don't end up catching so many fish!"

Lei Da's face was full of smiles.

There weren't many people fishing on the speedboats around, but I saw that they caught a lot of fish.

People who go out to sea to fisher will feel very depressed and angry when they see others catch a lot of fish while their own fishing nets are empty. The same must be true for the fisherman himself.

"What can we do about it? We really caught a lot of fish."

Zhao Dahai drank the hot strong tea in big gulps. After working for such a long time, he was finally able to stop and rest.

There are indeed fish at the Windmill Foot fishing spot, and there are a lot of fish, especially today when we encountered a big fish, but now it is really very difficult to catch even big fish.

"Why should we care what other people think? Anyway, it's enough for us to make a lot of money from the fish we caught!"

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"What's going on? Why are there so many fish here today but it's still so hard to catch them?"

Zhong Shizhu didn't care at all how many fish the other speedboats caught. What he couldn't understand now was why it was still so difficult to catch big fish.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that this was actually not strange at all.

No matter where the fish are, as long as there are too many people fishing, it will become very difficult to catch them.

Big fish usually just means that there are a lot of fish that can be caught, or that there is a chance to catch a lot of fish. It does not mean that the fish are very easy to catch.

If it were another place where there were big fish, it would definitely be very easy to catch them. However, Fengchejiao Fishing Spot is an old fishing spot that has been used for more than ten or twenty years. A considerable number of the fish here, or the remaining fish, are old fish that have been caught and then escaped. Such fish are definitely not easy to catch.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought about it and nodded.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou rested for a few minutes and drove the speedboat towards Ding Dawen's large fishing boat.

Big fishing boat.

Ding Dawen, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were not in the cockpit, but were all on the deck.

"what!"

"The fish is hooked!"

"Yo!"

"This is a sea bass, it's quite big, probably about ten pounds!"

Ding Dawen was holding a fishing rod in his hand, very excited. He had just pulled a fish out of the water and it turned out to be a sea bass weighing more than ten pounds with very strong pulling force.

Before going out to sea this time, I went home to take a look and immediately went to the fishing tackle shop in town to buy a fishing rod and various things needed for fishing.

The fishing boat stopped on the sea near the windmill foot fishing spot waiting for Zhao Dahai to go fishing. It was a bit boring, so he simply went on deck with Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming to fish.

Ding Dawen didn't expect that he would catch more than a dozen good-sized sea bass in just two or three hours.

"Hey!"

"Ding Dawen!"

"What are you doing? Haven't you ever fished before?"

"It's just a 10-pound sea bass. Why make such a fuss?"

Shi Guangming didn't say anything at first, but as Ding Dawen became more and more excited as he fished, he couldn't help it.

"what!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Isn't a sea bass weighing more than 10 kilograms considered a big fish?"

"A sea bass this big can be sold for a lot of money!"

As Ding Dawen spoke, he took a long-handled scoop net and stretched it out to the sea, scooping up the sea bass he had caught and carrying it to the deck. The fish jumped up and down, its tail slamming on the deck, making crackling noises and sending seawater flying everywhere.

Ding Dawen waited for a while until the sea bass became quiet, then wrapped the sea bass in a towel. He then used pliers to remove the hook, picked it up and put it into a large barrel filled with sea water and oxygenated next to him. The barrel contained more than a dozen sea bass he had caught, all weighing more than ten pounds.

"Hey!"

"Didn't you see those groupers weighing 100 to 180 kilograms that Zhao Dahai caught?"

“That’s called fishing!”

Shi Guangming caught a sea bass and stopped fishing. He didn’t take such small fish seriously.

"That's the fish Zhao Dahai and Uncle Shi Zhu caught, not the fish I caught."

“The fish I catch myself are the ones that count.”

Ding Dawen shook his head, checked his hook and line, and found no problems. He then hung another live shrimp and threw it into the sea.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Old man Shi."

"What Ding Dawen said is absolutely correct. The fish caught by others belong to others. The fish caught by yourself belong to you."

"Who doesn't want to catch big fish? But now, catching a 10-pound sea bass is already very good!"

Zhao Shi burst into laughter. Ding Dawen was a simple and honest person, and he said what he meant, but he had to admit that what he said just now made a lot of sense.

"correct!"

"Ding Dawen."

"Do you want to learn how to fish? If you really want to learn how to fish, you have to find some time to practice." "Now, we have plenty of time to catch more fish while we wait for Zhao Dahai to come back from fishing on the fishing boat."

"correct!"

"I have to try lures and the like. Once I'm proficient at it, I can go fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat one day."

"This is more profitable than driving a big fishing boat!"

Shi Guangming suddenly thought of this matter.

"what?"

"This is really a good idea!"

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is quite large. Although Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are already on the speedboat helping with fishing, one more person like you will definitely not make a difference. On the contrary, you can catch a lot more fish."

Zhao Shi thought about it and nodded. If Ding Dawen was good at fishing, he could definitely make much more money by going fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat than by driving a large fishing boat.

Ding Dawen shook his head without even thinking.

"what!"

"Why is that? Didn't I just say it? If you want to make more money, you have to go fishing on a speedboat. Others definitely don't have this opportunity. If you want to go fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat, as long as you know how to fish, then there will be no problem."

Shi Guangming was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing why Ding Dawen refused directly.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou got a lot of salary for going fishing with Zhao Dahai, and Zhao Dahai was a very generous boss. At the end of the month, he would definitely give a big red envelope according to the custom of the boat captain or boss of the fishing village. Don't underestimate this red envelope. For someone like Zhao Dahai who made a lot of money, the red envelope is often higher than the salary, and much higher. The income is definitely much higher than driving a big fishing boat. It is impossible for others to go fishing with Zhao Dahai, but Ding Dawen is Ding Xiaoxiang's cousin, and they have a very close relationship. If he really knows how to fish, it is almost impossible for him to refuse as long as he asks.

"How can I possibly learn to fish with this brain of mine?"

"If you really go fishing, especially fishing for fish that cost tens of thousands of dollars each, you'll probably be scared to death."

"I'm not very fast, and I don't catch many fish on a speedboat. How can I afford such a high salary?"

"I am now very good at running a fishing boat."

Ding Dawen scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

Don’t think that you have caught a lot of fish now, it’s just because you were lucky and happened to come across a school of fish.

It’s not my fishing skill, it’s very impressive.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou went fishing with Zhao Dahai and indeed made a lot of money, much more than they could earn by driving a fishing boat themselves. However, if they thought about it, they knew that this was not a good way to make a living and they really did not have the ability to do so.

"what!"

"Ding Dawen!"

"I thought you had such an idea!"

"You are absolutely right. Fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat can indeed make a lot of money, but if you don't have this skill, you definitely can't do this job."

"Zhao Dahai, along with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, can catch several thousand kilograms of sea bass in one morning tide."

"There's no way around it, you're taking your time like this."

Zhao Shi laughed out loud. Ding Dawen's character was indeed simple and honest, but he was not stupid at all and he could see things very clearly. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did not earn so much money for nothing, they had to work hard.

"All right!"

"What you said is really very reasonable. Not everyone can handle the meal on Zhao Dahai's speedboat!"

Shi Guangming had to admit that what Ding Dawen said was very reasonable. Perhaps many people thought that if Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Li Dayou could do it, they could also do it, but in fact it was not the case at all.

One is that you must have the ability to fish, another is that you must have a good enough body, and one is that you must have quick hands and feet.

There is absolutely no problem with Ding Dawen's body. He has plenty of strength, but he needs to have good fishing skills and quick hands and feet, and these two things are not necessarily possible.

"Why do you need to think so much? Can't you just drive a big fishing boat and support your family?"

"When you want to fish, you can go fishing by yourself. Wait until you have the ability to do so and want Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go fishing with you. If you want to make more money, you can talk about it later."

Zhao Shi waved his hands. There was no need to worry about this matter. Anyway, Ding Dawen could already make a lot of money by driving a fishing boat. He could just wait until the day when he had enough skills and wanted to go fishing on the Shanghai speedboat.

"Yo!"

"Zhao Dahai is back!"

Ding Dawen had just thrown the hook into the sea and habitually looked in the direction of the Windmill Foot fishing spot. He immediately saw a speedboat coming quickly in the distance. You don't need to look at its size to know that its speed could only be matched by Zhao Dahai.

Ding Dawen stopped fishing and quickly put away his fishing rod. He shouted to the people who were fishing at the stern of the fishing boat, urging them to get ready to work immediately.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and slowly approached the big fishing boat. There were a lot of groupers inside and they were packed tightly. Without the big fishing boat, there was no way but to go back to the village dock. Now that he had the big fishing boat, he would definitely transfer to it.

"Zhao Shi!"

"Why on earth is Zhao Dahai able to catch so many fish?"

"This is Zhao Dahai's third trip back!"

"There is indeed a lot of fish at the Windmill Foot fishing spot today."

“But isn’t this a bit too much fishing?”

Shi Guangming watched the crane lifting one net bag after another filled with large grouper and pulled himself hard to remove the few remaining white hairs on his forehead.

Zhao Dahai came to Fengchejiao fishing spot early in the morning to fish, and he caught grouper. Every trip he came back with at least two thousand kilograms of grouper, and at most three thousand kilograms of grouper. In these three trips, he caught at least seven to eight thousand kilograms of grouper.

"Didn't I tell you this a long time ago?"

"Zhao Dahai is not fishing alone now, but four people are fishing together."

"The fishing spot at Windmill Foot is full of fish. Is it any wonder that we caught so many groupers? We have been fishing for almost a whole day."

"correct!"

"The groupers we caught here today are all quite large. Don't be fooled by the fact that they weigh several thousand kilograms, but if you count the number of them, there really aren't that many."

Zhao Shi took a puff from his hookah.

"Dry!"

"You are really unreasonable, old man!"

"How about four people fishing?"

"So what after a whole day of fishing?"

"What's up with the big catch at Windmill Foot fishing spot today?"

"There are so many speedboats fishing here. Have you seen any of them catch so many fish?"

"How about we go over there and ask a few speedboats to see if anyone has caught a lot of fish?"

"By then, it will be several thousand kilograms of fish. We just need to see if anyone can catch ten fish!"

Shi Guangming looked at Zhao Shi helplessly. This was really unreasonable.
