Chapter 241 Ding Xiaoxiang’s Worry
eight pm.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly to the pier.
It wasn't too rainy, but it kept going. It's cool when the sea breeze blows.
Zhao Dahai stabilized the speedboat and looked at the many fishing boats around him. There was no one on board. These were all fishing boats used by the village to put fishing nets. They all had to stay at home during the fishing moratorium.
Zhao Dahai was hungry and tired, so he took the water tank and fished out the fish in the live cabin.
"Gone?"
"Is that all?"
Zhao Dahai couldn't believe it. He took the net and scraped it back and forth in the living cabin several times. No fish was missed. He looked at the water tank and counted roughly. There were less than thirty black sea bream. Each one is no bigger than the palm of a hand.
“You can’t just catch so many things here in the inland sea, right?”
Zhao Dahai was very depressed. Today is the first day of the fishing moratorium. I went there to make a lot of money, but I never thought it would end like this. After a hard day’s work, I lost so much that I couldn’t even save my pants.
Zhao Dahai packed up the speedboat, cleaned the deck, carried the water tank with the fish, went to the pier and returned home. He was soaked all over and put all the fish in the live fish pond for maintenance. Then he took a shower and changed clothes.
Zhao Dahai held a big bowl, stuffed pork belly as big as his palm into his mouth, and bit it hard, and all the fat came out, all over his mouth.
After Zhao Dahai ate three big bowls of rice and almost a catty of pork belly, he felt at ease.
"grandmother."
"I didn't catch any fish today!"
Zhao Dahai picked up the hot seaweed egg drop soup and drank it in one go.
"How can anyone make money every day?"
Zhong Cuihua looked at Zhao Dahai's return and knew that there was nothing good to gain today.
After Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, he walked out of the yard. The weather was bad, and the entire fishing village and the sea were shrouded in rain and fog.
It won't be foggy tomorrow, will it?
Zhao Dahai was a little worried. If you can’t catch fish today, you will continue to work tomorrow. If you stay at home, you will have no future. As long as you go out to sea, you will have hope. Not afraid of rain, but afraid of fog and wind.
Zhao Dahai stood for a while, then turned around and went home to sleep. When the weather is good tomorrow, he will go to sea. If the weather is bad, he will stay at home. It is useless to worry about it now.
It's half past four in the morning.
Zhao Dahai got up in the dark, cooked breakfast, finished eating, and packed the lunch for lunch. After thinking about it, he brought a bag of tea, carried the fishing rod and other things, and went out to the dock to get on the speedboat.
Zhao Dahai looked at the sea surface carefully. There was no fog. What he was worried about last night did not happen. He simply packed up his things and went to sea immediately. Two nautical miles away from the dock, the sea was open.
Zhao Dahai turned on the navigation and fish finder, set the fishing spot for today, and slowly increased the speed.
Will you be able to catch fish today?
Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked into the distance. Without the usual lights of the fishing boats, the sea was pitch black. It was unknown what the harvest would be like today.
early morning.
The drizzle falls.
Liu Gang stood in front of the restaurant with an ugly expression on his face. Not many people brought fish this morning. During the fishing moratorium, there were relatively few fishing boats going out to sea.
what to do?
Can only use chilled fish?
The seafood restaurant focuses on fresh seafood. It's all frozen fish, what's the matter?
Liu Gang had a headache, but he knew that the business in his shop was very good. It would be difficult to use all the fresh seafood during the fishing moratorium, so he could use as much as he could.
Liu Gang knew that he must prepare some chilled seafood, but no matter what, he must have some fresh and high-end seafood.
Liu Gang thought about it for a while and decided to go to various villages later to see if the fishing boats of those who went fishing could collect some fish. The price would definitely be higher, but who said it was the fishing moratorium now.
Where is Zhao Dahai?
Why can't people be seen now? Could it be that there are no sailors?
Liu Gang turned his head and looked in the direction of the street, but did not see Zhao Dahai's familiar tricycle.
Yesterday and today it was just raining and no wind, so we must have gone out to sea. If we didn't come, we didn't catch any fish.
Liu Gang's heart immediately rose.
Zhao Dahai is a master of fishing. If he can't catch fish, doesn't it mean that other people can't catch fish or they catch very few fish?
When Liu Gang saw Ding Xiaoxiang riding a tricycle, he immediately went to greet her regardless of the rain.
"ah?"
"Is it just a little bit of black bream, yellow bream and sea bass?"
"Isn't this blue spot a little small? It only weighs five or six pounds!"
Liu Gang saw clearly the fish that Ding Xiaoxiang sent and was a little disappointed.
"Boss Liu."
"It's the fishing moratorium now, so it's not easy to get some work."
"Not only are they small in number, they are also much smaller in size."
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. There are indeed not many in number and they are all relatively small in size. They are all fish from the fishing mouth and are from offshore.
"Boss Liu."
"If you think it's inappropriate, you can just take it back and sell it in the fish market!"
Ding Xiaoxiang made a joke.
"Don't!"
"I don't think the goods are bad, I just think there are too few."
How could Liu Gang not want these fish? It would be good to have them during the fishing moratorium every year. There was no choice.
"Ding Xiaoxiang!"
"Can you send more tomorrow? The total is only fifty or sixty pounds, which is really not enough to sell."
Liu Gang wanted more fish very much.
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. Normally, it would be easy to say that now is the fishing moratorium. There is really no way to get more fresh fish, shrimps and crabs. The stalls in the fish market at home basically sell only chilled products. Now it is just... At the beginning, it was even rarer when it reached 20 days or even a month.
"Boss Liu."
"Where's Zhao Dahai?"
"Why don't you come here to sell fish?"
Ding Xiaoxiang didn't see Zhao Dahai for a while, so she couldn't help asking Liu Gang if Zhao Dahai came today.
Liu Gang shook his head, Zhao Dahai did not come.
Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment.
Didn't come?
Wouldn’t it be impossible to catch fish?
Yesterday was the first day of the fishing moratorium, and Zhao Dahai must go to sea.
If you don’t come here to sell fish, 100% means you didn’t catch any fish or caught very few fish.
How could this happen?
Zhao Dahai didn't catch any fish! ?
Ding Xiaoxiang immediately became worried. The fishing moratorium is definitely the most profitable time for fishing boats.
It makes sense that ordinary people can't catch fish. Zhao Dahai is a top master. If he can't catch fish, it can only mean that there are no fish in the sea.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at the sky. It was gloomy and raining continuously.
Is it because of the weather?
Ding Xiaoxiang remembered that early in the morning, the weather forecast said that such weather would last for three or even five days.
It is really due to the weather. If there are no fish in the sea, the impact will be too great.
When we last met, Zhao Dahai said that he had not fished for more than ten days before the fishing moratorium. He was just running around to scan the fishing spots, thinking that he would be well prepared to go big when the fishing moratorium begins. Man is not as good as God, and he didn't catch any fish on the first day.
Ding Xiaoxiang waited for half an hour, but Zhao Dahai didn't show up. She had no choice but to go back.
"ah?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Li sold two kilograms of sand pointed fish and found that Ding Xiaoxiang was a little depressed and unhappy when she came back from selling the fish.
"fine."
"It's just that Liu Gang just said if there could be more fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow."
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head, worried that Zhao Dahai couldn't catch any fish and couldn't tell her.
"Yo!"
"What are you thinking? It's the fishing moratorium now"
"What we sell at our stall is all chilled. Where can we get more freshness?"
Zhang Li shook her head directly, this is impossible.
"mom!"
"Aren't there a lot of fishing boats? There are so few fish? Dad didn't catch any fish? I should be able to catch a few, right?"
Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't help asking for news.
"Why!"
"How can it be so easy?"
"It doesn't mean that there are fewer fishing boats putting out fishing nets. Fishing boats will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish. In any case, the fishing efficiency of fishing boats is definitely not as good as putting out fishing nets."
"Otherwise, wouldn't there be fishing boats everywhere?"
"Besides, you don't know the weather these days. The fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea must be affected. There are indeed many fishing boats, but they can't catch any fish."
Zhang Li knew the situation very well and knew what was going on.
Ding Xiaoxiang is even more worried now. If there are fish in the sea, Zhao Dahai will definitely be able to catch them. If there are no fish in the sea, Zhao Dahai will not be able to use all his great skills. For such a big speedboat to go out to sea, it will cost a lot of money in a day, as little as three dollars. More than four thousand to five or six thousand. When you can't catch fish, nothing happens. When you can't catch fish, it's a huge pressure.
Why!
Making money is really not easy!
Ding Xiaoxiang frowned and sighed in her heart.
Zhao Dahai often catches big fish, such as large groupers weighing thirty to forty or even more than one hundred kilograms or Spanish mackerel, including red anchovies, etc. Each fish can be sold for ten thousand, twenty thousand or even thirty to fifty thousand.
But when you can't catch fish, you lose a lot of money every time.
During the first ten days of the fishing moratorium, I did not make any money every day, I only spent money, and at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan was missing.
Yesterday I didn't catch any fish and I lost several thousand yuan.
How can it be easy to make money?
Which trip to the sea can you catch fish and make money?
Who knows?
Zhao Dahai had to endure tremendous pressure every day when he drove the speedboat out of the dock.
Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, her brows were tightly frowned, and there was no smile on her small face. She was someone who had been here, and probably knew what was going on. She wanted to say a few words, but she swallowed them again. The sea or other people, this is what Ding Xiaoxiang has to face.
Lin Zuhua drove his car and parked in front of a shop with a sign saying "Zhongshan Seafood", opened the door and ran in quickly.
"Ding Chongshan!"
"where!?"
Lin Zuhua shouted and took a tissue from the tea table to wipe the rain off his face.
Ding Chongshan walked out of the office inside, saw Lin Zuhua, and immediately asked him to sit down on the sofa and boil water for tea.
"What do you want to do if you stay at home in this weather? There is nothing good to come to my place!"
Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua have known each other for many years, especially when they used to go fishing by themselves, they had to stay together for 20 days a month, and their relationship was very good.
"There's nothing you can do in this weather! It's so boring!"
Lin Zuhua took a sip of tea. It's inconvenient to go out in rainy weather. I can't stay at home or in the office, so I drove to Ding Chongshan to have tea and chat.
"The fishing moratorium has begun. Is your business here not as good as before?"
Lin Zuhua put down the tea cup in his hand. Usually when he comes here, the door of the store is crowded, and there are many people and cars parked. Today, no one is without a car.
"Um."
"This is the case for about two months every year. The number of fish, shrimps and crabs purchased and sold every day will be greatly reduced."
"This is the most leisurely time!"
Ding Chongshan nodded.
"ha!"
“It’s more leisure but more profitable!”
Lin Zuhua took out cigarettes from his pocket, popped two out, lit one himself, took a puff, and lay back on the sofa. During the two-month fishing moratorium, the number of fish, shrimps and crabs was very small, but the prices increased. , Ding Chongshan made no less money, even more than usual.
Ding Chongshan smiled and nodded. There was no need to hide this matter in front of Lin Zuhua. It was the fact.
"correct!"
"This period of time is relatively free. Why don't we go fishing instead of staying in the company all day?"
Lin Zuhua raised his head and smoked a cigarette while staring at the ceiling, suddenly thinking that he could go fishing with Ding Chongshan.
"ah?"
"Are you going fishing?"
"Are you looking for that Zhao Dahai?"
Ding Chongshan immediately thought of Zhao Dahai.
"ha!"
"That's right!"
"We are just looking for this Zhao Dahai!"
Lin Zuhua patted his thigh hard.
Ding Chongshan was very moved, but he was a little hesitant. The first two times he mentioned Zhao Dahai, Zhang Li had a huge reaction and didn't want to go fishing by himself at all.
"ha!"
"Ding Chongshan!"
"Why are you afraid of your wife again? It's not like you used to go out fishing every day. Now you just go out to the sea and fish for fish twice because there's nothing much to do. What's the problem?"
"Could it be that there is no such freedom?"
Lin Zuhua and Ding Chongshan, who have been friends for many years, know exactly what is going on.
"You can't catch many fish when you go out to sea in this weather! There are many fishing boats going out to sea, but I can't catch any fish."
Ding Chongshan blushed.
"Don't say anything!"
"That's the way it is."
"I'm going to Langtou Village now to see if I can find this Zhao Dahai."
"Look what's going on."
"If there are really no fish, just take it easy. If there are fish, then book a boat and go fishing."
Lin Zuhua waved his hand. It was an excuse, but it was also a fact. Ding Chongshan bought fish, shrimps and crabs all day long. It was very clear whether there were fish in the sea, especially whether the fishing boats could catch fish.
"OK."
"Then go and have a look first. Let's talk when there are fish."
Ding Chongshan gritted his teeth. His hands were really itchy. At worst, he could kill him first and then show off, or he could just not let Zhang Li know.
Lin Zuhua drank tea for a while and drove away.
"This Zhao Dahai is really powerful. If you follow him out, you might be able to fulfill your dream of a big fish!"
Ding Chongshan sent Lin Zuhua away and sat down on the sofa. He hadn't fished for many years, but recently he had been wanting to fish. His hands were getting more and more itchy and he couldn't control it. Once Lin Zuhua and Zhao Dahai made a reservation on the boat, he would definitely not be able to bear it and would definitely go.
The sea is open.
Zhao Dahai was wearing a raincoat, but he was soaked all over. The pole he was holding in his hand was reeling in the line. After a while, a string of hooks was pulled out of the water, and three yellow chickens as big as the palm of his hand emerged.
Zhao Dahai held the line with his left hand, put down the pole with his right hand, picked up the yellow chicken, picked it off and threw it into the live cabin, immediately hung the bait and continued fishing.
"Damn it! Is this weather such a big impact?!"
Zhao Dahai wiped his face while putting out the line. The fish detector showed that there were many fish on the bottom of the sea, but they didn't speak much.
Three hours!
I fished for a full three hours, but the yellow chickens I caught were relatively small and the number was relatively small.
Zhao Dahai frowned tightly and looked at the rain that kept hitting the sea.
"Do you want to bet on the big grouper once you get back?"
Zhao Dahai was a little hesitant.
The fishing for black bream was not good yesterday, so today I changed my fishing spot to fish for yellow chicken. I wanted to see if I could earn back the gas money or most of the gas money. In this case, when the grouper tide came, I could fish for grouper and take a gamble to see if I could make a lot of money.
While fishing for grouper in the current, the speedboat's engine kept running and burned a lot of oil. If the yellow chicken can earn back the gas money, the pressure will not be so great. However, the profit of the yellow chicken caught in a few hours is indeed a little better than yesterday's black sea bream, but not much better. If you don't go fishing for groupers in Geliu, you will only lose two thousand today, and if you go, you will lose four thousand.
Could it be that it is another day when you lose less and earn more?
The rain is getting heavier.
The sea was white.
Zhao Dahai sighed. Rainy days or any weather changes will affect the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea. Thinking about the water depth of hundreds of meters in the open sea, the impact will not be big. Looking at it now, it not only has an impact but also has a great impact, more than himself. imagination.
Zhao Dahai watched the surrounding speedboats leave one after another. At this time, the tide for fishing for grouper was almost up, and they all went to bet on the big grouper.
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and decided to stay and continue fishing for yellow chickens. The fish stocks in the sea are basically the same. Black bream and yellow pheasant cannot be caught well, and there is not much hope for grouper or other fish. Spending an extra two thousand yuan on oil and betting on a grouper has little chance. significance.
Zhao Dahai continued to catch yellow chickens with his pole. The only way was to work hard and catch one more fish. He didn't stop until two o'clock in the afternoon when he was too hungry.
Zhao Dahai put down his pole and got into the cockpit. There is a large sleeping cabin in the driving cabin of the large speedboat, which can accommodate two people. It is very spacious. It is very comfortable to hide in such a rainy day. He took the lunch box he brought out in the morning, It was cold early and it became a little hard. I couldn’t help it. I finished my meal in big gulps, took the thermos cup, unscrewed the lid, grabbed a handful of tea leaves brought in the morning, put them in, twisted the lid, shook it a few times, and drank a few times. My whole body is soaked and I feel so comfortable after taking these few mouthfuls.
Zhao Dahai pulled off the wet clothes on his body. He had to bring some clothes with him on the next trip. He could change them if they got wet.
Zhao Dahai rested for about ten minutes, got out of the cockpit, and looked at the surrounding sea, which was completely white. He didn't see any other speedboats, and they all ran away, either to gamble on the big grouper or simply go home.
Dry!
Work hard!
Zhao Dahai picked up the pole, stuffed Antarctic shrimp in the bait cage, hung deep-sea centipede on the hook, stood beside the speedboat, let the line go down, and went directly to the 98-meter water layer. While lowering the ground, he moved the pole slightly left and right, and all the Antarctic shrimps in the bait cage spilled out, attracting as many fish as possible.
Huh?
Bite?
This is how the same thing?
So fierce! ?
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. There was a very obvious and fierce bite on the pole, and the tip of the pole began to shake.
Catching fish?
So fast?
So simple?
Zhao Dahai clenched the pole with his right hand, held his breath, and remained motionless. After waiting for a long time, there was another fierce bite, and the pole shook even more violently.
here we go again!
The third bite!
The fourth bite!
The fifth bite!
Zhao Dahai raised the pole and reeled in the line quickly. The pole was very heavy, and the tip of the pole bent and shook very badly.
what fish
What kind of fish could it be? ?
Zhao Dahai stared at the water with his eyes wide open, and a string of fish was pulled up from the bottom of the sea.
Get rich!
Zhao Dahai saw the fish clearly and almost jumped with excitement.
Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes! Thanks!
