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

"What the hell!"

"Is this an evil act?!"

"how so!?"

Chen Wenjiang couldn't suppress his anger, he kicked hard on a box next to his feet, and all the live shrimps in it were spilled all at once, watching the shrimps jumping around under the deck, he became even more angry, raised his foot Step on it and it will be smashed to pieces.

Chen Wenjiang vented his anger, and after a while he slowly calmed down, sighed, and his face became even more ugly.

Just one fish a day!

Chen Wenjiang caught the first fish on the pole early in the morning, which was three or four pounds of green spots. He was full of confidence and felt that he had made a fortune today. He did not expect that the fish he had caught earlier in the morning would be the same fish now.

make money?

Make some money!

Blood loss!

Chen Wenjiang lit a cigarette and took several puffs.

I wonder if I can catch fish at the fishing spot at Windmill Foot?

Chen Wenjiang's mouth was full of bitterness.

I caught a blue spot early in the morning, but after a long period of time until two o'clock at noon, I didn't catch any fish. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I moved to another fishing spot but couldn't catch any fish, so I went to the current fishing spot again. Still no fish caught.

If I had known better I wouldn't have changed places!

Don't worry about whether you can catch fish at the remaining windmill foot fishing spot. At least you won't burn so much gasoline and you won't lose so much.

Chen Wenjiang was very helpless. He finished smoking a cigarette, lit another one and finished it. After calming down for a while, he started to drive the speedboat back to Paiwan Village Pier.

Ten p.m.

Chen Wenjiang returned to Paiwan Village Pier, so exhausted that he had no strength at all.

Chen Wenjiang tied the cable of the speedboat, took a water tank and walked to the side of the live cabin. Under the dim light, only a two or three kilogram blue spot swam around.

Chen Wenjiang held the net in his hand and wanted to stab him to death immediately, but he held back.

No matter what, it can be sold for a few hundred yuan, right?

It's really not much, but it can make up for the gas money, so it won't be such a huge loss.

Chen Wenjiang loaded up the fish and just boarded the dock to go home. There were a few lights behind him. When he looked back, he saw five or six speedboats approaching the dock.

No way?

So late?

Chen Wenjiang didn't expect that someone would be later than him, so he simply waited to see who came back and to see if he had caught a fish.

"ah?"

"Chen Wenjiang."

"Why did you come back so late?"

Chen Xingfu was very surprised when he saw Chen Wenjiang standing on the pier. When they were fishing at the Windmill Foot fishing spot this morning, he and Sun Jianming made up their minds to follow Chen Wenjiang. However, they lost track of them at first and met him again when they returned here superior.

"How was your fishing?"

Chen Wenjiang pointed to the live cabin of the speedboat.

"Don't mention it!"

"The living cabin is full of sea water, not a single fish!"

Chen Xingfu shook his head and sighed.

Chen Wenjiang carefully asked Chen Xingfu, Sun Jianming and several other people who had been staying at the windmill foot fishing spot and had not gone anywhere else, and they had not caught any fish.

"How's the fishing going with the other speedboats?"

Chen Wenjiang was silent for a while and then began to ask other people how the speed boat fishing was going.

"How is the fishing done by other speedboats? It is true that some speedboats caught fish, but not many fish were caught. There were not many big fish, let alone twenty or thirty kilograms. There were not many fish over ten kilograms."

Chen Xingfu regretted extremely. He should not have gone to sea. He went to sea last night and has been drifting on the sea for more than 24 hours now. He is hungry and tired. He is not making any money. Instead, he has lost at least 3,000 yuan in blood. It would be very comfortable to stay at home. No Losing money is making money.

"Where is Zhao Dahai? Have you seen his speedboat?"

Chen Wenjiang was silent for a while, thinking of Zhao Dahai. He didn't see Zhao Dahai when he was fishing at Windmill Foot, and he didn't know if he would come when he left in the afternoon.

"Strange!"

"How could Zhao Dahai not come? Could it be that I made a lot of money yesterday and have a day off today?"

Chen Xingfu shook his head. Zhao Dahai's speedboat was very conspicuous and he would definitely see it when he arrived.

Chen Wenjiang sighed. How could Zhao Dahai be lazy? I made a lot of money yesterday but not today? Who would have trouble with money?

Zhao Dahai did not come. It was not because he was lazy. He must have noticed that the sea water was becoming turbid when he left yesterday. In addition, the news about the big fish spread out. There must be many people and speedboats. He simply gave up and did not come to the windmill foot fishing spot. Went somewhere else.

I wonder which fishing spot Zhao Dahai went to?

I wonder if you caught any fish?

Chen Wenjiang was very curious about where Zhao Dahai was fishing today, especially if he caught any fish. Unfortunately, Zhao Dahai's speedboat did not return to Paiwan Village Pier. Otherwise, he would have known by asking.

Chen Wenjiang told Chen Xingfu that he changed several fishing spots in the afternoon but failed to catch any fish. He stayed at the foot of the windmill. Whether he could catch fish was another matter. At least he didn't burn more gasoline and lost less money.

"Chen Wenjiang."

"Does it mean there's no place to catch fish?"

Chen Xingfu was a little worried. He and Chen Wenjiang both made a living by fishing at sea. Every fishing moratorium was a good opportunity to make money. However, instead of making money this year, they lost a lot. If this continues, the northwest wind can't afford it.

"One is to wait a few days for the fish conditions to stabilize before going out to sea. The fish conditions have changed so much now that most people can't afford it. In addition, if you go to fishing spots farther away, you have a chance to catch fish, but you have to burn more fish. Gasoline is a big risk, you have to think clearly.”

After Chen Wenjiang finished speaking, he didn't have the mood to stay any longer. He turned around and left with his fishing box and fishing rod in his hands. Now he didn't think about anything, didn't want to do anything. He went back to take a bath, eat a meal, and sleep well.

tomorrow?

Don't say tomorrow, I won't go fishing for the next three to five days.

Chen Xingfu watched Chen Wenjiang leave quickly. Yesterday, the windmill foot fishing spot was full of fish. The speedboat at the fishing spot, especially Zhao Dahai, caught a lot of groupers and made a fortune. He and Chen Wenjiang and others After receiving the news, they rushed there, stayed up all night, and then added another day. The vast majority of people had a very dismal harvest.

What can be done about this?

Chen Wenjiang is right, the poorer you are, the more you see ghosts.

People who can catch fish and make money will catch more fish and make more money.

People who cannot catch fish and make money will catch less and less fish and make less and less money.

Chen Xingfu looked at the messy deck of the speedboat, and wanted to tidy it up, but he was powerless, so he just ignored it. He was not in the mood to catch any fish, and went to the pier to go home.

The farther you go, the clearer the water is and you have a greater chance of catching fish.

But what if you can’t catch it again?

Isn’t the loss enough?

Chen Xingfu decided to go fishing in the sea after a few days when the fish situation is stable. In the next few days, he should rest well and never go out to sea at home. If he doesn’t go out to sea, he will not make money but he will definitely not lose money.

7 p.m.

Zhao Dahai drove his tricycle back home, did not rest, and immediately got busy. There are two main types of fish caught today, one is sea bass, and all the live ones are put into the fish pond. There are too many and I am too busy to sort them out, so I just put them in the refrigerator. Now I need to put them all neatly, otherwise they will freeze hard overnight and spoil the appearance.

Zhao Dahai took a large foam box, laid crushed ice underneath, took out the refrigerator on the tricycle, opened it, and carefully took out a long-tailed bird.

"Yo!"

"It's really beautiful!"

"This fish is so beautiful!"

Zhong Cuihua looked at the fish Zhao Dahai took out. The dark red color, especially the long tail, was very beautiful.

"Hey Hey!"

"grandmother!"

"I don't know if it floats beautifully or not, but this fish must be worth at least five to six thousand yuan!"

Zhao Dahai tidied up the long-tailed bird, being careful not to touch the fish scales, straightened and flattened the tail, spread another layer of crushed ice on it, and carefully flattened and compacted it.

"ah?"

"Is this fish so valuable?"

Zhong Cuihua was stunned for a moment.

"ha!"

"grandmother!"

"If it wasn't so valuable, how could it be so careful?"

Zhao Dahai was happy. If the sea bass costs a hundred or tens of dollars a piece, you can just do it a few times. If the fish costs a few thousand dollars a piece, it must be carefully sorted. Grandma Zhong Cuihua didn't know that it was normal for this kind of fish to be valuable. After all, long-tailed birds are really rare, and it is difficult to catch them with fishing nets. Only open sea or deep sea fishing can have a chance to catch them. If they are rare, I don't know how much they are worth.

It took Zhao Dahai almost two hours to sort out all the fish, especially the ten long-tailed birds which took more than an hour.

Zhao Dahai took a big mouthful of food with a bowl in his hand, and stood by the edge of the live fish pond, looking at the crowds of grouper, sesame grouper, and sea bass. The fish pond was a bit small, and he had to sell these fish tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai finished his meal, took a bath, and drank tea for a while. It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening. He had been busy all day. At this time, he was very tired. He just wanted to go back to his room to sleep. Xiao Naihei, whose eyes were closed at Zhong Cuihua's feet, immediately stood up without making a sound, walked directly to the gate of the yard, and hid directly in the dark corner behind the gate.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Are you home? Are you home?!"

"I am Liu Gang from Hongyun Restaurant!"

Zhao Dahai walked to the yard, reached out and patted Xiao Naihei's head. The rural dogs are like this. Those who can really bite people stay silent and wait in the dark corner where they can't see.

Zhao Dahai opened the courtyard door and saw Liu Gang who was sweating profusely.

"Boss Liu."

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

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he turned around and walked into the yard, pulled out two stools and placed one in front of Liu Gang.

Liu Gang glanced at Xiao Naihei who was walking slowly into the main room, almost reaching his waist. After thinking about it, he knew that the dog must have been hiding behind the door just now, and was startled.

"ha!"

"Boss Liu."

"That's what the native dogs raised in the village are like."

Zhao Dahai saw Liu Gang staring at Xiao Naihei and knew what he was thinking.

"correct!"

"Boss Liu."

"What's the matter so late?"

After getting up, Dahai asked Liu Gang why he came to see him. It was most likely related to fish, shrimp and crab.

"Why haven't I seen you selling fish at my place these days?"

"Didn't you go to sea?!"

Liu Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The local dog was really not a joke. If he comes again next time, Zhao Dahai will definitely not be allowed in if he is not at home.

Liu Gang hasn't seen Zhao Dahai selling fish in his restaurant for the past few days. At the beginning, he didn't think it was strange. Zhao Dahai is good at fishing, but it is impossible to catch a lot of fish every day. Days passed without showing up.

Liu Gang knew that it was definitely not because he didn't go out to sea, and it was definitely not because he couldn't catch fish. It was very likely that the fish he caught were sold to other people. Zhao Dahai was not the only seller.

Liu Gang waited all day today, Zhao Dahai still didn't come, he couldn't help it, the restaurant's business was over and rushed over overnight.

Liu Gang knew that Zhao Dahai was at home 100% of the time, and he couldn't find anyone when he visited during the day.

"Boss Liu."

"Is there such a shortage of fish? Do you think those who go fishing can always catch fish?"

Zhao Dahai was a little strange. Three or five days ago, the fish really didn't speak much and couldn't catch any fish. The situation has been much better in the past two days. Liu Gang came to the door overnight and was really anxious.

Liu Gang sighed. During the fishing moratorium and the fish stocks were not good these days, there really weren't many fish.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Has anyone been fishing these days?"

While talking, Liu Gang looked at several large refrigerators placed in the corner, and then at the live fish pond. He had already noticed it when he came in just now, especially the live fish pond. He must have heard the sound of oxygen machines and water pumps. There were fish, but I was a little anxious knowing how many there were.

Zhao Dahai nodded, stood up and walked to the edge of the live fish pond, lifting the cover above it.

"ah?"

"Blue spots?"

"Are there so many?"

…

"Yo!"

"And sea bass?"

…

Liu Gang's eyes almost fell out.

The live fish pond contains more than twenty blue spots and other fish of various sizes, as well as dozens of sea bass of various sizes.

Zhao Dahai smiled, said nothing, walked to the refrigerator in the corner, opened one, and peeled off the crushed ice.

"ah?!"

"Long-tailed bird?!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"How do you catch a long-tailed bird? And it's such a big one!"

Liu Gang was so frightened that he almost jumped up. It is not the first time Zhao Dahai has caught all kinds of groupers. There is nothing strange about sea bass, but it is really not easy for long-tailed birds. This is a fish that can only be found in deep sea or in specific places. I really did not expect Zhao Dahai to fish arrive.

"how many?!"

"Whether these fish are groupers or sea bass, especially these long-tailed birds, I want them all!"

Liu Gang was very glad that he came here tonight. If he hadn't come, these fish would most likely not have fallen into his hands.

"These sea bass are relatively large. It's the fishing moratorium now, so the price is relatively high. Whether it's live or chilled, it costs eighty-five yuan per pound."

…

"Most of the groupers are blue spots, the biggest one. It weighs more than thirty pounds. It costs three hundred yuan per pound."

"The price of the remaining currency is two hundred and fifty yuan per pound."

…

"Long-tailed bird."

"A pound of ten pounds costs one hundred and eighty yuan."

"Twenty pounds per pound costs two hundred and sixty yuan."

"Three hundred and twenty yuan per pound for a weight of thirty pounds."

…

Liu Gang thought about it for about ten minutes, weighed it in his mind, and made a price.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while and nodded. These prices are all right, taking into account the fishing moratorium and the size of the fish he caught are relatively large.

"Come!"

"Weigh!"

Liu Gang was very happy. After winning this batch of fish, his seafood restaurant can last for a few days, especially the ten long-tailed birds. This is the top quality product, which is not often encountered.

"ah?"

"Do you need to be in such a hurry? Can't I just take it to the restaurant tomorrow and have it weighed and pay the bill?!"

Zhao Dahai didn't expect Liu Gang to be so anxious.

"ha!"

"Hurry up and get weighed! I'll take it back to the restaurant in a while, and I'll be able to sell it at noon tomorrow!"

"Especially these long-tailed birds, I have to put them in front of the restaurant tomorrow morning!"

“This fish is really rare, and it’s definitely top-notch seafood!”

Liu Gang pointed at the long-tailed bird. When I saw the fish and negotiated the price, I had to take it immediately to avoid long nights and dreams. This kind of thing is not uncommon. I came down tonight and was already ready to collect the fish, and I brought enough cash.

Zhao Dahai had no objection. If Liu Gang wanted to be weighed now, he should be weighed now. He had a scale at home, so he took it out and placed it in the yard and started weighing.

"The sea bass weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds in total and costs eighteen thousand two hundred and seventy-five yuan."

"The largest grouper weighs thirty-two pounds, and the rest of the groupers add up to a total of one hundred and ninety-three pounds, or fifty-seven thousand eight hundred and fifty yuan."

"Two pieces of a 30-pound long-tailed bird weigh a total of 65 pounds and cost 20,800 yuan."

"The three pieces weighing twenty pounds weigh a total of seventy-two pounds, which is 18,720 yuan."

"The five pieces weighing ten pounds weigh a total of sixty-one pounds, which is 10,980 yuan."

"All added together, the total is one hundred and twenty-six thousand, six hundred and twenty-five yuan."

Liu Gangfei settled the account and immediately turned around and walked out of the yard, then came in carrying a bag.

"ah?!"

"Boss Liu."

"Why do you carry so much cash with you in the car now?"

Zhao Dahai didn't expect Liu Gan to bring so much cash, and thought he would settle the bill when he delivered the fish tomorrow.

"ha!"

"I've been traveling to villages and towns from time to time recently."

"You must bring cash in the car. When you see the fish and the price is agreed upon, you can take it immediately. You definitely can't do this without cash."

"I'm coming to your place tonight, so I can't do it without bringing enough cash!"

Liu Gang raised three fingers and said that he came here today with a total of 300,000 in cash.

"Boss Liu."

"You really think too highly of me, don't you?"

Zhao Dahai felt a little dumbfounded.

Bringing 300,000 in cash?

How could he catch so many fish and sell them for so much money?

Liu Gang shook his head. For other people who went fishing, don't say 300,000, 30,000 is too much. Zhao Dahai is really different. The fish he just collected has exceeded 120,000. Who can say for sure? Can't Zhao Dahai catch more?

Liu Gang paid the money and immediately drove back to the town. An hour later he came back with a special seafood truck and took away all the fish.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai sent Liu Gang away, and went back to his room to lie down and sleep. He planned to sell fish early in the morning, but now that the fish has been sold, he should take a good night's sleep. He is indeed a little tired these days, so he won't say goodbye until he wakes up naturally thing, and then think about where to go fishing next.
