Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Ding Chongshan opened the door and saw Lin Zuhua, and immediately asked him to come into the room and sit down on the sofa in the hall.

Ding Xiaoxiang was watching TV. When she saw Lin Zuhua, she immediately called her uncle. She often came to her home when she was young and she was very familiar with him. She was the best friend of her father Ding Chongshan when he was fishing.

"What's wrong?"

"Come to my place so late? Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, just make some, cook some noodles or something."

Ding Zhongshan boiled water to make tea.

"What are we going to eat? If you don't eat one or two meals, you won't die. It's a good opportunity to lose weight."

"Stone snapper!"

“Lots of stone snapper!”

Lin Zuhua was very excited.

"ah?"

"Stone snapper?"

"You mean the stone snapper in the sea?"

Ding Chongshan was confused and didn't know what Lin Zuhua meant by stone snapper.

Lin Zuhua picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and lips, and said loudly and excitedly that he waited for two or three hours at the wharf of Langtou Village before waiting for Zhao Dahai. Lots of stone snapper.

"They're all between one and two pounds. They're not too big, but they can't hold much."

"It's all over the live pod."

"Definitely not less than one hundred catties!"

Lin Zuhua danced with joy.

"ah!?"

"Did you say that Zhao Dahai went out to sea today and caught more than a hundred kilograms of stone sea bream?"

Ding Chongshan realized that in the morning, Lin Zuhua had said to go directly to the Langtou Village Pier to wait for Zhao Dahai to see if he could book a boat spot to go fishing.

"right!"

"It's Zhao Dahai."

Lin Zuhua nodded heavily.

Ding Xiaoxiang sat nearby, eating snacks and watching TV. When she heard Zhao Dahai's name, she immediately pricked up her ears.

Stone snapper?

Zhao Dahai went out to sea and caught stone sea bream, and was it more than a hundred catties of stone sea bream?

Why!

This 100 kilogram stone snapper must be able to sell for at least 20,000 yuan.

Make money!

Ding Xiaoxiang spent the whole day worrying about whether Zhao Dahai could catch fish and make money when he went to sea.

"ah?"

"Uncle Lin."

"Is this Zhao Dahai you're talking about the one who caught so many stone snappers? Doesn't that mean he has to make a fortune?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pretended not to recognize Zhao Dahai and looked very surprised.

"ha!"

"Who says it's not true? He must have made a fortune!"

"Stone snapper of this size usually costs 150 or 60 yuan per pound, right?"

"Now is the fishing moratorium, and the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are rising."

"Your dad knows best how much these fish can be sold for!"

Lin Zuhua looked at Ding Chongshan.

"A pound of stone snapper can now be sold for two hundred yuan per pound."

"If it really weighs more than 100 kilograms, this is more than 20,000 yuan. Zhao Dahai's speedboat can run down in one day, and the gas cost is estimated to be around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan."

"I made fifteen thousand dollars a day."

Ding Chongshan is very aware of the price of rain crabs. The price is usually very high. Now that it is the fishing moratorium, it will definitely continue to rise.

When Ding Xiaoxiang heard this, her brows widened and she was extremely happy.

"I have to find this Zhao Dahai and see if I can collect fish from him."

Ding Chongshan took out the cigarette from his pocket, looked at Ding Xiaoxiang sitting next to him, and stuffed it back.

"dad."

"If you're collecting fish, don't look for it."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head as soon as she rolled her eyes.

"ah?"

"What's going on? Why can't I find Zhao Dahai?"

"You have to sell the fish you catch! What's the difference between selling it to me and selling it to others? If others can buy it, I can buy it too!"

Ding Chongshan was confused now, why did Ding Xiaoxiang say that he didn't need to find Zhao Dahai.

"The fish that Zhao Dahai catches are all sold to Liu Gang's restaurants or other people. Can your price be higher than Liu Gang's? Liu Gang knows, and he might fight you desperately."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled, her father, Ding Chongshan, would definitely not be able to offer a higher price.

Ding Chongshan shook his head. When Ding Xiaoxiang said this, he knew that he had no business. He was a fishmonger, and his prices were based on large quantities. The fish, shrimps and crabs he collected were classified into different categories and sold to different people. One hundredth higher than himself. If Zhao Dahai had such a channel to sell fish, he would not be able to sell it to himself, and he would charge a higher price than Liu Gang, and he would not be able to make much money if he could make money, so there was no need to spend such effort.

"Ding Chongshan."

"Why did you miss the point? Don't always commit occupational diseases."

"It's about finding Zhao Dahai to go fishing."

"Didn't you say in the morning that you can't catch fish in this weather? This Zhao Dahai not only catches fish, but also valuables."

"Zhao Dahai is indeed powerful."

Lin Zuhua doesn't care about business at all.

Ding Chongshan nodded, Zhao Dahai was really powerful, and he immediately asked if the ship's position had been confirmed.

Lin Zuhua sighed, Zhao Dahai didn't intend to take people out to sea fishing now, saying that the fish situation is not stable, and the speedboat he just bought, the fishing spots and fishing positions are not too familiar, at least two months before the end of the fishing moratorium before he considers taking people I left a business card about going fishing.

Ding Chongshan is not surprised. Zhao Dahai’s speedboat definitely takes people out to sea to fish, but it’s not mainly about taking people out to sea to make money. They don’t consider whether the fish situation is stable or not, whether they can catch fish or not.

Ding Xiaoxiang returned to her room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and then spit it out.

Zhao Dahai is catching fish!

Make money!

Ding Xiaoxiang held her little fist and waved it vigorously.

It's quiet at night.

Ding Chongshan finished his cigarette and walked into the room, getting ready to sleep.

"Does Ding Xiaoxiang know Zhao Dahai from Langtou Village?"

Ding Chongshan remembered that when Lin Zuhua told him that Zhao Dahai had caught a fish at night, Ding Xiaoxiang's reaction was a bit strange.

"Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Li's heart skipped a beat, wondering why Ding Chongshan asked this.

Ding Chongshan talked about Lin Zuhua's visit that night.

"Ding Xiaoxiang often sends fish to Liu Gang's restaurant. This Zhao Dahai often sells fish to Ding Chongshan. I must know him if I see him often."

Zhang Li frowned, she didn't want Ding Chongshan to know about Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai now, Ding Chongshan likes fishing, maybe he has a good impression, this is not what she wants to see now.

"oh?!"

"That's what it is."

"No wonder I know that all the fish caught by Zhao Dahai were sold to Liu Gang."

"I originally thought about contacting Zhao Dahai to see if I could collect fish from his hands."

"If it looks like this, there's no chance."

Ding Chongshan didn't think much about it. It was late and he had to go to bed and rest. He would continue to buy fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow.

early morning.

Zhao Dahai woke up around six o'clock, took a large bowl of freshly cooked porridge, added a piece of salted fish, and walked out of the yard while eating.

There wasn't much rain in the morning, but the wind was a bit strong.

Zhao Dahai stood at the gate of the yard and looked down at the pier from a high position. There were no waves. Looking further afield, the white-headed waves on the sea were layered on top of each other. They were not too big, but white-headed waves were just white-headed waves. .

I got up for a trip around four in the morning, but the weather was bad, so I went back to sleep. Now I can see clearly during the day, and I really can't go out to sea. If the weather is nice, I will definitely go fishing for rock bream today, but I can’t do that now. This is the case when going out to sea. When the weather is good, you can’t find fish. When you find fish, the weather changes suddenly.

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless and had no other options. After finishing breakfast in a few minutes, he went back to the yard and started to collect the fish he caught, and later went to Liu Gang's to sell them.

Zhao Dahai opened the refrigerator, took out the black sea bream and yellow chicken he caught these days, and weighed them. It was not much, and the total weight was only about 20 catties. The key is that they are not big.

Zhao Dahai thought about it, put the black sea bream and yellow chicken back in the refrigerator, and decided not to sell them. Now that fishing is closed, there are few fish, shrimps and crabs, so I can give some to my second grandfather Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu later.

Zhao Dahai filled the large water tank on the tricycle with sea water, fished out the stone snapper, put it in, turned on the oxygen machine, and immediately went out to the town.

Hongyun Restaurant.

Liu Gang got up early in the morning and stood at the door to collect fish.

“The black snapper is too small!”

"I can't help it. Isn't the weather bad these days? I can only fish so much for three days!"

…

"How can I sell this little yellow snapper? Can you send me more!?"

…

"If there are no fish, can we dig up some snails?"

…

Liu Gang collected fish, shrimps and crabs for an hour. The more he collected, the more disappointed he became. The impact of the fishing moratorium was too great, and the quantity and quality dropped significantly. There were no good products.

I need some chilled food, otherwise I won't be able to hold on.

Liu Gang gritted his teeth, and started selling chilled fish, shrimp and crab tomorrow. Fortunately, the competitors on the opposite side did not receive any fresh fish, shrimp and crab, otherwise he would have a very headache.

"Boss Liu."

"What are you doing in a daze?"

Liu Gang looked back and saw Ding Xiaoxiang coming by on a tricycle, only three to five meters away from him, and immediately passed by. The amount of fish, shrimps and crabs delivered today was a little bit more, about a hundred catties less. The quantity is very good. This is the advantage of ordering fish all year round. There is always a certain quantity.

"Boss Liu."

"Zhao Dahai is here! Maybe there will be something good today!"

Ding Xiaoxiang and Liu Gang had just finished crossing the scale, and when they looked up, they saw Zhao Dahai riding a tricycle coming from the other end of the street.

Liu Gang immediately turned around. When he saw Zhao Dahai's tricycle, he didn't care about Ding Xiaoxiang and ran away.

Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't help but laugh and didn't leave immediately to see how many stone snappers Zhao Dahai had caught.

"Yo!"

"Stone snapper?"

…

"ha!"

"This is really good stuff!"

…

"They are all about one pound, and some are almost two pounds!"

…

Liu Gang grabbed the net and fished out the stone snapper in the water tank, with a bright smile on his fat face. Stone snapper is always a good fish, let alone during the closed fishing season.

"Two hundred and sixty yuan a pound!"

Liu Gang made an offer without hesitation.

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Gang to offer such a price. The price of fish, shrimp and crab will definitely increase during the fishing moratorium, but the fishing moratorium has just begun, so the price increase of fish, shrimp and crab is not particularly obvious.

This is not the first time I have caught stone sea bream. The last time I accidentally caught a stone sea bream in an oyster field, it was much bigger than what I am catching now, and it only cost 310 yuan per pound.

What I caught this time were all weighing more than one pound or two pounds. Just ask for two hundred and sixty yuan. Quite good, quite high.

"Boss Liu."

"The fishing moratorium has just begun, and if you offer this price, if I catch more stone snapper or other fish, wouldn't I have to make a lot of money?!"

Zhao Dahai joked and nodded and agreed to the price offered by Liu Gang.

"ha!"

“As long as there are good fish, price is definitely not an issue!”

Liu Gang immediately asked the people in the restaurant to come over to fish out the fish and weigh it.

"Two hundred and twelve pounds and seven taels."

"That's two hundred and thirteen pounds."

"The total is fifty-five thousand three hundred and eighty yuan."

Liu Gang immediately settled the account, walked into the restaurant, and went to the office to get cash.

"The sea!"

"I go first."

"Be careful when you go to sea!"

Ding Xiaoxiang gave a few instructions and rode a tricycle back to the fish market.

Zhao Dahai waited for a moment, and Liu Gang came out with money in his hand.

"The fish aren't very easy to catch these days, are they?"

Liu Gang is very concerned about this matter. If the fish are easy to catch, Zhao Dahai can catch more fish, and other people who go fishing can also catch more fish, and only then can he have the opportunity to buy more fresh seafood. On the contrary, if Zhao Dahai couldn't catch any fish, let alone those other people.

Zhao Dahai stuffed the money he had counted into his pocket. It was really hard to catch fish these days. The money I made today is just luck. Others who go offshore to fish would not be able to catch so many stone snappers.

Fifty-five thousand three hundred and eighty yuan is indeed a lot of money, but this was a fish caught only the second day after the fishing moratorium began.

The total gas money spent in the past two days has been six to seven thousand yuan.

During the first ten days of the fishing moratorium, I have been running non-stop, visiting various fishing spots, and a few different spots. I invested 50,000 yuan. After all, the cost has not been recovered yet.

Needless to say, you may not necessarily be able to make money just by catching fish every day when you go out to sea. The pressure is still very high.

Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang chatted for a while, then rode a tricycle home. When they arrived at the village, the unsold black snapper and yellow chicken left over from the morning were divided into five parts. The homes of the second grandfather, Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu, went around in a circle. Come down, it's almost twelve o'clock at noon.

Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle to the pier. At first glance, he saw all the neatly parked fishing boats with fishing nets.

Zhao Dahai got on his speedboat, cleaned it up briefly, then got on the wooden fish boat parked next to him, packed it up cleanly, and carried seawater to wash the deck.

Zhao Dahai started the diesel engine and turned it off after running for a while. Both the fishing boat and the machine had to move from time to time to avoid breakage.

Zhao Dahai sat on the side of the wooden boat, his feet hanging down, only twenty or thirty centimeters away from the sea.

There was a little wave on the sea, and the fishing boat kept shaking.

Zhao Dahai patted the deck of the fishing boat vigorously. Grandma Zhong Cuihua said that people have been asking whether the fishing boat is for sale recently. It’s true that I won’t be able to use the new speedboat I bought, but it’s absolutely impossible to sell it. New things have been installed, but the main keel of this fishing boat was left behind by my parents.

Zhao Dahai had already planned that the fishing boat would be parked here at the pier. It would be cleaned up from time to time and maintained twice or three times a year. It would not be broken in twenty, thirty, forty or fifty years.

The newly bought speedboat is a tool for making money, and this wooden diesel fishing boat is what I want.

Zhao Dahai sat for a while before leaving the fishing boat, went to the pier and went home. After lunch and a nap, he got up and walked out of the yard. He looked at the sea surface in the distance. The density of white-headed waves had dropped significantly. Occasionally, Only then can one or two waves be seen.

Zhao Dahai decided to go fishing at four or five o'clock tomorrow morning.
