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

Chapter 973: Keep scanning!
When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou heard what Zhao Dahai said, they all turned their heads to look over.

Catching a large grouper weighing 100 to 80 kilograms is an easy task for people like us, and there is nothing strange about it. However, catching a red grouper weighing 30 to 40 kilograms is rare.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou waited for a while and saw the thirty or forty kilograms of red snapper caught by Zhao Dahai pulled out of the water. They immediately felt that the fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty kilograms of blue snapper they had caught were not worth looking at at all.

"Yo!"

"This size is really quite good, it must be over 40 kilograms!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at the big red spot that was pulled out of the water and gently swaying its tail, and felt very envious.

The 40-jin fish that Zhao Dahai caught couldn't escape. Each jin of this kind of fish is worth a few thousand yuan, so one fish is worth 100,000 or 80,000 yuan.

People who go out to sea to fish or catch fish can’t make money or make a lot of money?

That depends on who it is!

Zhao Dahai can make money by catching just one fish in a day or even a month.

Aren't there many people who can do something like this?

This is true for every industry. After all, only a few people can really make money.

"Yo!"

"I wonder what's going on. Don't you guys care about your own fish?"

Zhao Dahai picked up the fish with a scoop net himself, pointed to the sea in front of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and the grouper he pulled up was floating on the water.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou shook their heads.

I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, I am just afraid of comparing the goods.

Compared with those caught by other people, the blue spots caught by these people are definitely very good and valuable. Other fishermen, such as those on other speedboats around, must be very envious when they see them, but they are far inferior to the one caught by Zhao Dahai. The fish caught by Zhao Dahai is worth four or even five caught by these people.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou lazily pulled the fish caught with the scoop net onto the deck.

Zhao Dahai carefully checked the red spot that had been pulled up and found a little bit of flatulence. He immediately used a long needle to deflate it and carefully put it into the live water tank. After waiting for a while, he saw the red spot shaking its tail and sinking to the bottom of the live water tank, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The price of red grouper is relatively high, but the price is only high if the red grouper is alive. If the red grouper is dead, the fish will not be valuable. Especially for this red grouper weighing almost 40 kilograms that I caught myself, the price of a living one and a dead one is very different.

Zhao Dahai stood up and took another look at the red spots. If there were any problems, he would not care anymore and shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to start fishing again.

Zhao Dahai was driving a speedboat. If he saw a number of speedboats crowded in one place to fish, he would observe from the side. If there was a speedboat catching fish, he would start fishing immediately. After trying a few times, if he could catch fish, he would continue fishing. If not, he would change places immediately.

3pm.

Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed, and the speedboat slowly floated on the sea. There was no flowing water, and the speed was very slow, almost motionless.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. It was very hot. There was no wind on the sea. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What the hell!"

“It’s really hot!”

Zhao Dahai shook his head, took his water cup and drank the water in big gulps.

"what!"

"What can we do? It's really hot out on the sea with nothing to cover us."

Zhong Shizhu drank a few sips of water, lit a cigarette and took two puffs. His clothes had been wet and dry and wet again countless times.

"hot!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"How can people who go out to sea be afraid of the heat?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to catch any fish. We caught quite a few today."

Lei Dayou looked down while drinking water. The open live water tank was full of groupers. The fish caught today were not very many, but at least two thousand kilograms. There were not too many fish in the sea recently, and being able to catch so many fish was already very good.

"Correct!"

"As long as we can catch fish, there's nothing wrong with that."

Liu Bin's face was full of smiles.

"correct!"

"We need to install a roof on the speedboat this time. It can be folded up at other times, and installed when we go out fishing!"

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to go back and install a roof on the speedboat. It didn’t need to be particularly large and it had to be the kind that could be folded up, otherwise it would definitely be affected when the speedboat was traveling at high speed.

"There's no need for this, right? It's true that we got a bit exposed to the sun, but we've gotten used to it!"

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. A speedboat with multiple people has to be equipped with a roof because it is too hot when going out to sea. However, it is definitely not convenient to drive with a roof installed. Sometimes, if the wind is too strong, it will be very dangerous.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"The ones we install are not fixed!"

“You can take it down when you don’t need it.”

“Just cover it with a sunshade or something.”

"There's something on the sea. Just use it on your forehead. It will make you feel much better."

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

If you install a fixed ceiling or the sunshade cloth used on the ceiling is very thick, it will definitely be very inconvenient and a bit dangerous. However, if it is movable and the cloth is very thin, there is actually no big problem.

"Row!"

"Let's take a look at it when we get back. If it's really possible, then we can install one. If it's really not possible and it's really a bit dangerous, then we don't have to install something like this."

Zhong Shizhu thought about it and nodded. The lighter and detachable one that Zhao Dahai mentioned could be considered. When the speedboat is driving, especially at high speed, it can be disassembled and installed again when it stops or floats in the water for fishing.

When fishing with a speedboat, the speed is generally not very fast, so the impact will not be too great.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took a break, ate something, drank enough water, and drove the speedboat. They circled the surrounding sea and didn't see many speedboats fishing.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou I feel a little regretful, Zhao Dahai and his people have robbed a lot of other people's fish for most of the day. Now at this time, most of the other speedboats have to go back, and there are fewer and fewer speedboats on the sea. Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to start scanning. He had already decided what to do before going out to sea.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"How about I drive the speedboat and you just watch the fish finder from the side."

Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai and decided that the next step would not be fishing but scouting, which would require driving a speedboat on the sea for a long time.

Earlier it was more important to watch the fish finder rather than driving the speedboat. If Zhao Dahai drove it himself, he could be more relaxed and concentrate more on watching the fish finder.

Zhao Dahai nodded and gave up the driving seat.

Zhong Shizhu was driving the speedboat forward, not very fast, but not slow either.

"The fish we caught today are not that few."

……

"When the other speedboats saw us catching fish, their eyes widened with envy. I guess quite a few of them wanted to beat us up."

……

"It's been a little hard to catch fish these days, but we still managed to catch quite well."

……

Zhao Dahai was chatting with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Dayou while looking at the fish finder's screen. The water was quite deep and the structure of the seabed was not very clear, but that was no problem as it was enough to clearly see the changes in the depth of the seabed.

Zhao Dahai originally wanted to go find the big trench that his second grandfather Zhao Shi mentioned, but after thinking about it, he decided to change his mind. Instead of looking for that big trench today, he would just look around the surrounding areas to see if he could find a fishing spot.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to fish. When he saw a spot where there might be fish on the fish finder screen, he marked a coordinate and the speedboat continued to move forward.

11pm.

The sea breeze blew over, and the scorching heat of the daytime sun disappeared almost without a trace, and even brought a little bit of coolness.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were squatting on the deck, sitting around two large iron basins and eating rice in big mouthfuls. Everyone was hungry and focused on eating, no one spoke.

"Hey!"

"Eat and drink enough!"

“There’s really nothing more comfortable than this!”

Lei Da patted his belly vigorously.

"what!"

"How could there not be something more comfortable than this? Catching a lot of fish, making a lot of money, and then filling your stomach with food and drink, this is the most comfortable thing in the world."

Liu Bin took a sip of soup and looked at the grouper in the open live water tank not far away. They swam back and forth, slapping their tails from time to time, and splashing seawater on the deck. These were all the groupers that he and Zhao Dahai had caught today. It was not the most caught in one day, but it was not a small number.

Zhong Shizhu didn't say anything, but gave Liu Bin a thumbs up. What he said was very correct. You will feel comfortable only when you can catch fish, make money and fill your stomach. Otherwise, you can't even eat, let alone feel comfortable.

Zhao Dahai finished his meal quickly, walked to the live water tank, reached in and scooped up a few fish. The grouper inside was frightened and swam very fast, slapping the sea water wildly with its tail, splashing all over its head and face.

Zhao Dahai was relieved about these groupers. It had been quite a while since morning, and he was a little worried whether he could keep them alive. But now he saw that there was no problem at all.

"correct!"

"How about Ding Dawen's fishing boat come closer? That way, if we catch a lot of grouper, we can send them to the fishing boat in time."

Lei Dayou knew at a glance that Zhao Dahai was worried that the groupers he caught had been kept for too long and that there was not enough space in the live water tank to keep them alive or that they might die. He and Zhao Dahai's speedboats usually went out to sea for two days and one night, and it was impossible to go back halfway. The only way was for Ding Dawen's large fishing boat to go out to sea and stop nearby.

"If there is a real need, it must be done this way, but it is not necessary for now. We can't catch many groupers here recently."

Zhao Dahai shook his head. If they caught more groupers, Ding Dawen’s big fishing boat would definitely have to wait near the artificial island reefs, but it was unlikely that they would be able to catch too many fish during this period of time.

"what!"

"When we find the Great Trench, Ding Dawen's fishing boats must come to the sea near the artificial islands and reefs to wait. Otherwise, if they catch too many fish, there will be no place to store them."

Zhong Shizhu thought of the Great Sea Trench.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"When we find the Great Trench someday, Ding Dawen's big fishing boat will definitely come."

Liu Bin drank the fish soup in the bowl in big gulps and wiped the corner of his mouth. There were fish in the artificial island reef, and there were a lot of fish. Once the big trench was found, there would definitely be more fish. With Zhao Dahai and his men, they would definitely be able to catch tens of thousands of kilograms of grouper in one or two days. The speedboat was relatively large, and the live water tank was relatively large, but it was really not easy to hold so many fish, and it was not easy to keep them alive.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Aren't we going to look for this big trench today?"

Lei Dayou looked at Zhao Dahai with some curiosity. There were indeed a lot of fish on the artificial island reefs, but now more and more speedboats came here to fish, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to catch more fish. Zhao Dahai learned from Zhao Zi that there was a large trench on the artificial island reefs, but he didn't know where it was. Once he could find it, he would have a chance to catch a lot of fish.

Lei Dayou knew very well that Zhao Dahai would never miss such a good opportunity. Judging from his appearance when he came here today, it seemed that he had no intention of looking for the Dahaigou.

"The artificial islands and reefs are very large. It is not easy to find a trench, especially one that we don't know whether it is really that big."

"I thought about it and felt that this trench should not be particularly large, or even just a small trench."

"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find this trench with just one speedboat. We can't just spend the whole day here looking for this trench and ignore everything else."

Zhao Dahai knew that if he found the big trench, he could catch a lot of fish, but this was not an easy task.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought that this was really the case. It was not an easy task to find the big trench. It would definitely take a long time. They all went out to sea to fish to make money. It was impossible for them to do nothing all day and just look for the big trench.

"We will all sweep this area of ​​the artificial island next."

"Just like in the past few hours, we found a place where there might be fish and dropped a coordinate. It's a good thing to be able to find the big trench. If we can't find the big trench, we can try to fish at these scanned points and we can still catch fish."

Zhao Dahai really wanted to find the Dahai Trench, but he would not do it right away. For a long time to come, even in the next ten or eight years, he would come to places like artificial islands and reefs to fish from time to time. As long as he paid attention, he would be able to find it one day. There was no need to do it specially.
