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

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Are you at home?"

Zhao Dahai walked to the door of Zhong Shizhu's house and shouted loudly.

"The sea!"

"How did you come?"

"Isn't there anyone going fishing today? Isn't there anyone going fishing tomorrow?"

Zhong Shizhu opened the yard door and saw Zhao Dahai. It was a bit strange. He would not go fishing during the fishing moratorium. He had plenty of time. Zhao Dahai’s speedboat must go out to sea every day. The price of fish is high, and he is busy every day. If you come here to chat with yourself to pass the time, there must be something going on.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"How about you go fishing with Uncle Dayou, Uncle Liu Bin and me tomorrow?"

Zhao Dahai said that he found a school of golden pomfret at the foot of the windmill today, and he couldn't do it alone. This is production-style fishing, where there is strength in numbers.

"The sea."

"We have nothing to do at home right now. It would definitely be good to go fishing."

"There is something you have to agree to!"

"Two hundred dollars a day."

"A few of us are here to greet you!"

Zhong Shizhu thought about it for a while, Zhao Dahai gave himself, Liu Bin, and Lei Da a chance to make money.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"The speedboat didn't officially take people out to sea for fishing!"

"There's not much difference in gas money between me going out to sea alone and taking a few of you with me."

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

"hehe!"

"The sea."

"It's true that there is not much difference in gas money. However, this is not the case. If you don't agree, Dayou, Liu Bin and I would rather stay at home and not make money than go to sea with you. Not to mention, the place you found There must be a lot of fish, how can we be ashamed to earn such money? You are embarrassed to pay your boat fare. In addition, the boat fare of two to three thousand is a bit high risk for us. I am a little worried that we will not catch so many fish. We don’t have what you have.”

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that I, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin, and Zhao Dahai are not blood brothers, so I usually do a favor or give me some fish, shrimp and crab today, and tomorrow you can give me some fish, shrimp and crab, but you should be careful The place has to be particular. This is different from the last time everyone went fishing for grouper together. The place is far away and only Zhao Dahai's speedboat can travel. In fact, he, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin had already taken advantage of Zhao Dahai on the last trip.

"OK!"

"That counts as wages."

"However, two hundred a day is too little."

"Five hundred dollars a day."

"On other boats, it may be two to three hundred a day, but as you know, the places I found have a lot of fish, and I have to be busy at the end of the day."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and realized that if he didn't agree, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin would definitely not go to sea. This was the only way, but the wages were increased.

"ha!"

"OK!"

"That's it!"

Zhong Shizhu was not polite anymore, and he had to stick to the principles that should be adhered to. A salary of two hundred or three hundred or five hundred is a trivial matter. Zhao Dahai said that he would go to sea with Lei Dayou and Liu Bin. It must be a big fish and he would definitely earn a lot. Not much difference.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu to talk to Lei Dayou and Liu Bin about this matter, and he had to make some preparations.

Zhong Shizhu immediately went to Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's home, talked about the matter, and decided to go to sea with Zhao Dahai at four o'clock tomorrow morning.

Lei Dayou sent Zhong Shizhu away, returned to the yard and closed the door.

"What happened?"

"Why did I come to see you so late?"

Ma Hongyu was a little strange. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Lei Dayou said that Zhao Dahai found a fishing spot for golden pomfret. There were a lot of fish, so he called himself, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin to follow him out to sea.

"Zhong Shizhu said, Zhao Dahai means to let a few of us go out to sea with the boat, and the amount we catch is ours."

"Zhong Shizhu disagrees. This is taking advantage of Zhao Dahai in vain."

"I asked for two hundred yuan a day's wages, and Zhao Dahai directly gave me five hundred yuan."

Lei Dayou started to pack his things as he spoke.

"Zhao Dahai has found a big school of fish. He will definitely be able to catch fish, and he will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money."

"Zhao Dahai is willing to help you make money, but we must be more particular."

As soon as Ma Hongyu heard what was going on, it was the fishing moratorium, and Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin had nothing to do, and they were all idle at home. Zhao Dahai came to call for someone when he knew this. I don’t care about it, but a few people in my family have to.

Lei Dayou packed up his things and went to sleep. Going fishing on Zhao Dahai's boat was definitely a physical job, so he had to sleep well and rest.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, he rode a tricycle to the town immediately. It was getting late, but fishing tackle shops are generally open all night, at least for a very long time. Many of them do not do business during the day, and only do business at night and early in the morning. .

Zhao Dahai bought another set of softer electric winch poles. Tomorrow, a total of four people including himself will go out to sea. Only three sets of poles are not enough for him. In addition, he bought a lot of sea centipedes, which are cheap and easy to use and can be caught. Bait for large goldenrod.

Zhao Dahai went home and packed up all his things, and told his grandma to go fishing with Zhong Shizhu and others tomorrow, and he would not come back until later, maybe it would last all night until the next day.

It was past three in the morning.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the room and yawned. Last night, he went to bed around eleven o'clock or twelve o'clock. He only slept for more than three hours. He rubbed his face vigorously, cheered himself up, and finished cooking breakfast. Carrying the prepared things, he went out and strode towards the pier. When he arrived, he found that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were already waiting.

Zhao Dahai got on the speedboat. He took all the things he bought yesterday, especially the poles, on the speedboat. After tidying up, he went out to sea immediately. After leaving the pier for about two nautical miles, he turned on the navigation, picked it up quickly, and rushed directly to the fish he caught yesterday. Golden Pomfret's Windmill.

"ha!"

"This speedboat is so fast!"

…

“It’s not only fast but also very stable!”

…

"Without this speed, how can we run to the open sea? If our diesel engine runs to the open sea, it will be dark, and there will be no time to fish or fish."

…

"This must have a speed of forty knots! It can run seventy or eighty kilometers in an hour!"

…

"ha!"

"We can't afford a speedboat like this!"

"It's very fast, but the gasoline it burns is very heart-wrenching!"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were sitting on the large refrigerator in front of the cockpit. The speedboat was getting faster and faster, moving forward as if it was flying against the sea.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat, followed the navigation, and drove directly to the foot of the windmill pile where he caught the big golden pomfret yesterday.

"The sea!"

"Can you really catch fish in this place?"

“No rotten fishing net?”

Zhong Shizhu looked up at the tall windmill power generation piles with a puzzled look on his face. There must be fish in such a place, but there must be rotten fish nets in such a place and there are usually a lot of them.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin didn't speak. They looked at Zhao Dahai and they had the same idea as Zhong Shizhu. They both felt that fishing in such a place was impossible.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin that he caught more than 200 kilograms of golden pomfret here yesterday.

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he watched the positioning of the fish detector and adjusted the position of the speedboat. It accurately stopped at the spot where he fished yesterday. He pointed down the side of the fishing boat until it was eighty meters away. Hold the hook.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were all experienced people, and their eyes suddenly lit up. The water depth of 80 meters was enough to catch a lot of fish. No wonder Zhao Dahai came here today and brought several of his people with him.

"ha!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Start fishing now!"

Lei Dayou was gearing up.

Zhao Dahai took out four sets of poles. The purpose of fishing here today is to engage in production, and an electric winch is necessary to make it faster.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were experienced. They took the pole of the electric winch, immediately put it on the fort, locked it, and tied the sea centipede with the fishing rig.

"Twenty meters!"

"The first shoal of fish is found in the water layer of 20 meters. Let's catch this shoal of fish first!"

…

"Don't be in a hurry to reel in the line. When reeling in the line, the speed must be controlled well. If you can't let the fish run away, the fish school may disperse!"

…

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou while looking at the depth of the fish layer displayed on the fish finder.

There are more fish here today than yesterday.

One fish layer is at a water depth of twenty meters, a second fish layer is above forty meters, and there is a fish layer at a depth of seventy to eighty meters.

The golden pomfret in the water depth of 70 or 80 meters must be very big, but you cannot rush to catch the fish in the deepest place directly, otherwise when you pull the fish up, it will definitely scare the fish in the shallower water.

Only by fishing from the top down can you catch more fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately began to lay out their lines.

"coming!"

…

"middle!"

…

"Is Golden Pomfret crazy?"

…

"Out of the water!"

"Five!"

"They are all three pounds in size!"

…

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You are really amazing! You can find it in a place like this!"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were already catching fish like crazy from the very first shot. Every time they pulled up the string hooks, there were at least three or four and as many as four or five, and each one weighed two, three, four, and five pounds. Jin, one step up and down is more than ten kilograms of fish, and the water depth of 20 meters is just one time.

"coming!"

"Mine is coming too!"

Zhao Dahai watched the tip of the rod shaking crazily and bending, then took up the line. After a while, he pulled it out of the water. Five golden pomfrets were dragged on the water. He immediately picked it up with the net, took off the hook, re-hooked the bait and put it down again. , the string hook has reached a water depth of twenty meters, and the fish is immediately dragged away.

"Attention!"

“We’ve almost caught all the fish in the 20-meter-deep water!”

"Take a rest and clean up the fish on the deck. There is no need to feed them. They are all put in the refrigerator!"

Zhao Dahai looked at the shoal of fish in the twenty-meter water depth on the fish finder and caught almost all of them. There were only a few fish left and there were no fish flowers. Looking at the time, he had been fishing for almost two hours.

Sun rise. The sea surface began to heat up rapidly, and it was very hot.

Zhao Dahai decided to take a break and drink some water.

"This must be a fish weighing three to four hundred pounds!"

Zhong Shizhu looked down and saw that the deck was covered with golden pomfrets. He had been busy fishing just now. He picked the fish he caught and threw them directly on the deck. He immediately took the time to continue fishing. Only now did he realize that there were really many fish.

Zhao Dahai nodded. It's not much different if it's not four hundred kilograms.

“There are really a lot of golden pomfret here!”

…

“There are really many fish at the wind power pile corner, but it’s a pity that there are too many fishing nets here!”

…

Liu Bin, Lei Dayong and Zhong Shizhu drank some water, rested for less than two minutes, and immediately opened the refrigerator and started filling it with fish.

Zhao Dahai specially brought four large refrigerators today and placed them on the deck. In just an hour or two, one of them was full, leaving a full twenty, which could only fit the other refrigerator.

"Four hundred kilograms is probably not enough, I have to have four hundred, five hundred and sixty kilograms!"

Zhong Shizhu pointed to the twenty or so golden pomfrets in the second refrigerator, which weighed almost sixty pounds here.

"ha!"

“Our goal today is to fill these four large refrigerators with fish!”

Zhao Dahai took a sip of water and looked at the fish detector. The second layer of fish had floated to a depth of about thirty meters. At this time, the sun came out, the water temperature began to rise, and these fish began to swim upstream.

"Come!"

"Keep doing it!"

…

"hurry up!"

"The sea!"

"Where are the fish now?!"

…

"With so many fish, there is no need to rest."

…

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished cleaning up the golden pomfret on the deck and put them in the refrigerator, and immediately hung jellyfish on the string hooks. When the fish are in good condition, they must seize the time and cannot delay.

"Thirty meters."

"The fish are all thirty meters away now!"

"This fish layer is ten meters thick!"

"Try thirty meters first. If there are not many fish at thirty meters, go down another five meters!"

Zhao Dahai put down the water glass in his hand and immediately started fishing.

The sun was blazing.

He poured down the heat desperately.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin were all sweating profusely, and their clothes got wet, dry, and wet again. I don’t know how many times the deck was covered with golden pomfrets. I picked them up and put them in the refrigerator. After a while, they were all covered with golden pomfrets under my feet.

"Sixty to seventy meters of water!"

"Attention!"

"The fishing net is in eighty meters of water!"

"The golden pomfret here is relatively large, maybe seven or eight pounds, or even ten pounds!"

“Change the string hook to a thicker thread!”

“The water is bigger down there.”

"Replace with eight pounds of heavy lead!"

Zhao Dahai drank half a bottle of water in one breath and wiped his mouth. Seven or eight golden pomfrets in the upper water layer were gone, leaving only the last and deepest water layer. Yesterday, he fished the bottom one with heavy lead. The largest golden pomfret is often over seven or eight pounds. Last night when I rushed to the town to buy poles, I bought Goumen's larger and thicker string hooks. There were only three hooks. The fish are big, so there is no need to use a string hook with five hooks. Too many hooks are not necessarily a good thing, especially when the fish is reeled in, the fish will struggle and move around. Once they get entangled, the probability of unhooking and breaking the line will greatly increase. The gain outweighs the loss.

Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu immediately changed the hook to a string hook with a width of two fingers, hung the sea centipede, and immediately put the line into the water.

Zhao Dahai quickly changed the string hook, picked it up and took a look. The hook was really big, and it was enough to catch some small spots, such as grouper within twenty kilograms.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Next trip. Two sea centipedes on one hook!"

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf!"

Zhao Dahai shouted.

"ha!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Is this a good meal for these fish?"

Liu Bin was happy.

"A golden pomfret weighing seven or eight pounds can be sold for at least two hundred yuan."

“Two sea centipedes are a great deal!”

Zhao Dahai stared at the electric winch, stopped when the water was seventy meters deep, waited for a few seconds, raised the pole and lowered it gently.

Take the bait!

The tip of the pole stopped violently and then bent downward!

Article 2!

Zhao Dahai saw two fish taking the bait. He was about to reel in the line when the pole tugged hard again. The third fish took the bait and he reeled in the line to pull the fish out of the water. The three huge golden pomfrets were all over ten kilograms. .

"ha!"

"Thirty pounds!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy. The water was deepest and the fish was the biggest. Such a big golden pomfret cost at least 40 yuan per pound, and he could earn more than 1,000 yuan per pound.

"What the hell!"

"This golden pomfret is really big!"

…

“I really can’t believe I didn’t catch it myself!”

…

"coming!"

"here we go again!"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all a little stunned. There was nothing to say about a ten-pound golden pomfret. But three fish in a row at once was another matter. It was like this one after another. It was really unbelievable.

"It's nothing strange."

"These golden pomfrets are all native and grew up in this place. They have long been accustomed to the environment here. Without special circumstances, such as the impact of large winds and waves, especially if the growth environment here has changed, It’s unlikely that you won’t be able to leave.”

Zhao Dahai continued to put out the line to fish as he spoke.

Ordinary fish schools disappear after fishing. One is that the fish school is frightened, especially if a fish takes the bait and then runs away, it may take the whole fish school away, which means disturbing the nest. The other is that fish swim to other places to find food.

The golden pomfret here at the windmill pile corner is different. They grow up here even if they are frightened, they disperse for a while, and gather together again after a while. The other is not to go back to other places to find food.

Unless the fish here are caught at random, they can keep fishing forever.

Zhao Dahai, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu fished from dawn to dark, and they didn't stop until around nine o'clock in the evening.

"Walk!"

"Go home!"

Zhao Dahai yelled for Zhong Shizhu and the others to clean up the poles.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da had a fart caught on the lid of the refrigerator, too tired to move, and it took about ten minutes before they regained a little bit of physical strength, and took out their cigarettes and started smoking.

"The sea!"

"I can't go to sea tomorrow, right? I have to sell fish!?"

Zhong Shizhu took a deep puff of his cigarette, and the four large refrigerators were filled with fish. There were two decks on the deck, and the few of them caught no less than two thousand catties of fish in one day.

"Not going to sea tomorrow!"

"Take a good rest! It's not made of iron, how can I keep going to sea and die!"

"But. These fish are not for sale!"

Zhao Dahai gulped down water, he was really tired today.

"Not selling? Why not selling!?"

Lei Da was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Dahai expressed his idea.

"ah?"

"Is this okay? Can I make more money?"

Lei Dayou frowned, he didn't expect Zhao Dahai to have such a plan.
