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

Chapter 949: Just Fishing Another Jin
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately lowered their poles and entered the water. A sea bass weighing over 20 kilograms is no joke. Although they and Zhao Dahai have caught countless big fish, they still have to be careful when dealing with such sea bass.

Anyone with fishing experience knows very well that the two major weapons of sea bass are their great power and their powerful force, and their ability to fly out of the water and wash their gills.

The rod and line used are very strong, so there is no need to worry about the pulling force of the sea bass. Every time a fish is hooked, the spinning reel is turned vigorously to retrieve it.

The only thing you must be careful of is the sea bass washing its gills.

The method is very simple. Before pulling the sea bass to the side of the speedboat, you must press the sugarcane into the water. As long as the fish cannot swim out of the water or jump up, everything will be fine.

"what!"

"Twenty-three pounds can't get away!"

……

"coming!"

“This fish is very fat!”

……

"Yo!"

"This size and pulling force are really only 20 to 30 kilograms!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou pulled the fish to the side of the speedboat and saw clearly that it weighed more than 20 kilograms.

"quick!"

"Put the hook down again and check it. If there is no problem, continue fishing immediately."

"This place is the same as before. Everyone should be able to catch five or six fish."

While hanging live shrimps, Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayong to hurry up.

Zhao Dahai hung it up and threw the live shrimps into the sea. He held the pole in his right hand and controlled the speedboat with his left hand, going upstream. In just a short while, the speedboat floated down the current for almost two meters and deviated from the destination.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou quickened their movements, took the fish off the hooks, replaced them with live shrimps, and immediately threw them into the sea.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat, taking Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou along the tide and fishing non-stop. They stopped when they found fish, and continued to move forward when there were no fish. They stopped to fish again when they found fish, and kept fishing and stopping, stopping and fishing, the more they fished, the farther they were from the big fishing boat.

Big fishing boat.

Ding Dawen stood next to Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

"How is it?"

"Now, do you think you should go fishing for these sea bass in the ocean?"

Shi Guangming smoked a water pipe, exhaling puffs of white smoke, and glanced at Ding Dawen who was standing next to him.

"Are Zhao Dahai and his friends fishing too fast?"

Ding Dawen was very shocked.

In the past few days, I have already seen how many fish Zhao Dahai has caught, but I only saw the fish pulled back by the speedboat, and did not see the process of Zhao Dahai fishing.

Zhao Dahai's speedboat was now quite far away, with only a small black dot left, and it was difficult to see clearly. But just now when he was beside the fishing boat, he saw it clearly. There was a hook hanging on it, and it was thrown into the sea. In less than twenty seconds, a fish was pulled out of the water and flew onto the deck.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were a little slower, but not much slower.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught more than 20 fish in just a few minutes.

These sea bass are all large in size, each one weighs about ten pounds, and twenty or so weigh about two hundred pounds, or even three hundred pounds.

If you calculate it this way, you can definitely catch more than a thousand kilograms of fish in an hour.

How could I not do this kind of work?

Make tens of thousands of dollars an hour!

"what!"

"That's how it is when you fish for sea bass. You have to hurry up and be fast, so you can catch more fish and make more money."

Zhao Shi smiled.

Don’t think that Ding Dawen grew up by the sea and must have fished before, and caught a lot of fish, but he has definitely never seen people like Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu catching fish like crazy.

"Ugh!"

"Second Grandpa, Grandpa Shi, you just told me to practice fishing more. When I feel I can do it, tell Zhao Dahai and go fishing on the speedboat."

"Now that I see this, I know I definitely don't have the ability to do this."

"I'm sure my reaction isn't that quick, and I can't catch a sea bass like this."

Ding Dawen kept shaking his head.

Fishing is not a complicated thing. With Zhao Dahai's guidance, I will definitely be able to catch some fish, but I don't have the speed of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da.

Zhao Dahai found out where the fish were. If he didn't act quickly, he wouldn't catch many fish, which would be a waste and he would be embarrassed to ask for more. He did this kind of work and earned this kind of money.

Ding Dawen knew very well that he did not have such ability.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming thought about it and nodded. Ding Dawen was indeed very good at his job, and his driving of fishing boats was far better than others. However, when it came to fishing and quick hands and feet, he really could not compare with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. Perhaps for other fishing boats, Ding Dawen would not have any big problems, but Zhao Dahai's speedboat was different from others, especially since Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very fast at fishing. If Ding Dawen really got on the speedboat and could not catch as fast as them, he would feel embarrassed to get the same salary.

"Row!"

"If we can't do this kind of work, then we shouldn't do it. We should only do the work that we can do."

"Operating a fishing boat is also a very good job."

"The salary offered by Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang is not low, and it won't be too hard."

Shi Guangming pointed at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, which was already a little unclear. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did make a lot of money, much more than the average fisherman, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou worked very hard. A trip to Zhuhai took two days and one night, so there was hardly any chance to rest. Moreover, when Zhao Dahai was fishing, he kept pulling one fish after another. Not to mention sleeping, it was difficult for him to even drink water or smoke a cigarette.

"Yes!"

“Zhong Shizhu and his colleagues earn a lot, but it’s really hard work.”

"Fishing on other people's fishing boats may not be too hard, but fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat is really hard."

"Let's not talk about anything else. In the past half hour, Zhong Shizhu and his team have each caught at least 400 kilograms of fish." "These are all sea bass with very strong pulling power. Pulling them out of the sea one after another is not easy, no matter how healthy you are."

Zhao Shi knew very well that it was really hard work for Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing at sea, and most people couldn't bear it. Ding Dawen could indeed endure the hardship, but being able to endure the hardship didn't mean he could carry on.

The sun is westward.

The sunset was a fiery red.

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai returned to the side of the large fishing boat. His clothes were soaked, not sure if it was from sea water or sweat.

"what!"

"We are really exhausted today. Let's hoist the fish onto the sea boat, take a rest, eat something and then go back."

Zhao Dahai glanced at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, all of whom were sitting on the deck smoking and drinking water. After fishing for grouper at the Windmill Foot spot, they immediately started fishing for sea bass without taking a break. It took them almost two hours at a time and they were really tired.

"It's definitely a bit tiring! But it's totally worth it! The sea bass we caught in less than two hours must weigh nearly three thousand kilograms."

Zhong Shizhu took a long puff of his cigarette, then looked down and saw that the tank was not only filled with groupers but also with live sea bass, each weighing more than 10 to 20 pounds, and some even weighing more than 30 pounds.

"It must be three thousand kilograms."

Lei Da nodded. What Zhong Shizhu said was absolutely right. It was indeed very tiring but worth it. Two hours could be passed by gritting one's teeth. However, there were three thousand kilograms of sea bass at twenty yuan per kilogram, which meant sixty thousand yuan here.

"what!"

"Why are you tired? Even if you are tired, go home tonight and have a good meal, drink a few glasses of wine and have a good sleep. Won't you be a brave man again when the sun rises?"

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"This time we are only going to the windmill fishing spot, not for two days and one night. Why don't we continue fishing at sea tomorrow morning?"

Liu Bin immediately thought of this matter. Usually, when Zhao Dahai took a few people to the remote places of artificial islands and reefs, it would take two days and one night. But today it was only one day, and they could go out to sea to fish early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head. He had no such plan.

"There's no need to work so hard."

"There are a lot of fish today at the Windmill Foot fishing spot, but there will be almost no fish to catch tomorrow. Even in the next ten or eight days, there won't be many fish to catch here."

"It's not easy to catch fish in other places nearby, especially grouper. It's very cost-effective for other speedboats to catch one or two or three or five groupers, but such fish are of no use to us. We don't need to waste our time like this."

"Let's go back today and have a good sleep. After dinner tomorrow night, we'll set off at eight or nine o'clock."

Zhao Dahai did not plan to go fishing early tomorrow morning. Although he only fished for a day, the intensity was very high and he was actually very tired. Catching more fish and making more money was the goal of them, but there was no need to work himself to death.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayi thought that this arrangement was actually not bad. They could rest and not waste too much time on fishing. They could go out to sea at night and arrive at the artificial island fishing spot at three or four in the morning and start fishing right away.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou rested for a while and shouted loudly to Ding Dawen on the fishing boat to start working. The sea bass that had just been caught filled the entire live tank. They would easily die from lack of oxygen over time. The live water tank on the Dahai boat was very spacious and easier to keep the fish alive. There was no need to keep these fish on the speedboat.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Ding Dawen on the fishing boat worked together for almost an hour before they finally hoisted all the sea bass they caught onto the boat. Everyone was exhausted and their clothes were soaked with sweat and sea water.

"The sea!"

“This is cooked rice.”

"Eat something before you go back."

Zhao Shi said as he lowered a bamboo basket.

"Yo!"

"Second Grandpa."

"I was thinking of cooking some noodles to fill my stomach. This is great. I don't have to work hard and I have something to eat."

Zhao Dahai could hardly control his saliva. He had been fishing all day and had not eaten much, except for a quick bite of bread at noon. He was already very hungry. When he came back from fishing for sea bass, he told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that he would eat something after work. Now there was no need to cook, as there was something ready.

"what!"

"When you went fishing for sea bass just now, we were waiting on this fishing boat. We had nothing to do, so we just cooked something."

Shi Guangming watched Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou take the food from the bamboo basket and start to eat it voraciously. He shook his head slightly. People who go out to sea, no matter if they are fishing or fishing, no matter how much money they make, all work like this, risking their lives and going hungry all day long.

"hehe!"

"All of us who go out to sea, whether we make money or not, look like this."

"The suffering I've endured is not something that ordinary people can understand."

"People like Zhao Dahai who made so much money are all like this. What about the others who didn't make much money or even had to lose money?"

“It’s too bitter.”

Shi Guangming sighed.

"Ok!"

"That's right!"

“The suffering of those who go out to sea is only known to themselves, and only they know what is going on.”

"Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are already incredible, and the others are suffering beyond measure."

Zhao Shi nodded. He and Shi Guangming had been fishing or taking others fishing all their lives. After decades, they knew very well what life was like at sea. Zhao Dahai had made a lot of money. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very tired at sea, but the money they earned was much more than the average seafarer. This was already an extremely happy thing. There were countless people who could not make money in the sea under the wind and sun.

"what!"

"Why are we so emotional?"

“No matter what industry you are in, there are people who make a lot of money, there are people who make money, and there are people who don’t make any money.”

“How could it be possible that all of them belong to people who make money?”

"Whether others make money or not has nothing to do with us."

"As long as we can make as much money as we can, and make more and more, that's enough. We have no right to interfere in other people's affairs."

Shi Guangming just sighed and didn't continue to be pretentious. There are many people in this world who can't make money and can't afford to eat. He really doesn't have the ability to deal with them. He and people like Zhao Dahai can make money, work hard to make more money, and live a good life.
