Chapter 828 Strange Things

Liu Lei drove the seafood truck back to the town, parked the car directly at the entrance of Hongyun Restaurant, walked in and shouted loudly for people to come out, and weighed the food immediately. It took him almost an hour to finish weighing everything.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang, take a look."

Liu Lei walked to Ding Xiaoxiang with the account book.

Ding Xiaoxiang read it carefully and seriously. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Although everyone is very familiar with each other and she and Yang Qin have a very good relationship, the accounts must be clear when doing business together.

Ding Xiaoxiang found no problem after reading it, and signed her name with a pen.

After Ding Xiaoxiang finished her work, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and she rode a motorcycle home with Yang Qin.

Liu Lei sent Yang Qin and Ding Xiaogan away and returned to the restaurant. He immediately started to work. The fish had to be properly processed, but the living ones had to be kept in the live water pool to ensure that there was no problem with oxygenation. The fish that had been frozen were placed and would be sold at noon tomorrow. After finishing all the work, it was already two o'clock in the morning. At five or six o'clock, he had to get up to collect the fish. He simply did not go home and took a nap on the sofa in the office on the second floor of the restaurant.

Ding Xiaoxiang returned home and took a look. The clock hanging on the wall was almost twelve o'clock.

"Dad!"

"Mom!"

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Ding Xiaoxiang saw that her father Ding Chongshan, her mother Zhang Li, her eldest brother and second brother Ding Jie, Ding Weijun, Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao were all sitting on the sofa in the living room. None of them went back to their rooms to sleep.

Ding Chongshan put down the teacup in his hand. Today's business was very good. They bought a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs. The family was busy all the time. They didn't finish until almost ten o'clock. It was almost eleven o'clock when they got home. They cooked something and just finished eating.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"Why did you come back so late? Didn't Dahai catch a lot of fish? Didn't he go out to sea tomorrow? How come he caught fish this afternoon?"

Zhang Li was a little surprised.

Ding Xiaoxiang called earlier and said that she would come back late tonight. Zhao Dahai had to weigh the fish he caught, so she could come back later. Unexpectedly, he was so busy that he didn't come back until now.

Ding Xiaoxiang said that Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish today. She went to the dock to pick up the fish and then went back to Hongyun Restaurant with Liu Lei to weigh them.

"Ah?"

"Didn't Zhao Dahai go out to sea to fish early tomorrow morning? How come he caught fish today? How many did he catch?"

Zhang Li was even more surprised.

"Zhao Dahai originally planned to go fishing early tomorrow morning."

"I went to refuel after getting ready to go out to sea this afternoon. After refueling, I checked the time. I ran outside early. I didn't plan to fish, but I happened to encounter flowing water when I arrived at the island reef foam area."

"I fished for about three hours in total."

"I caught 2,600 kilograms of sea bass."

"All of them were about ten kilograms, and some were slightly larger, reaching about thirteen or fourteen kilograms."

Ding Xiaoxiang drank a few sips of water, chatted for a while, talked about the fish Zhao Dahai caught today, and went back to the room to sleep. Shi Jiehua, who was the first to pay the bill this morning, then took over the weighing of the fish caught by Zhao Dahai. She has been busy until now and is really a little tired.

"Auntie!"

"Can you catch so many sea bass in two or three hours?"

Chen Miaomiao was very surprised.

"Other people can't do this, but Zhao Dahai has such a skill. One is that he can find where the fish are and know how to fish. Moreover, Zhao Dahai is not fishing alone. Now Zhao Dahai is fishing with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. There are four people fishing in total. In addition, the size of these sea bass is not small. It's not surprising to catch 2,600 to 700 kilograms of sea bass in half an hour."

"Haven't you followed Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go fishing? You know how good Zhao Dahai is at fishing."

Zhang Li doesn't like fishing, but Ding Chongshan likes fishing very much, and he has learned a lot about fishing.

"2,600 to 700 kilograms is indeed a lot, but if one fish is ten kilograms, it's only about 200 fish."

"On average, one person only caught about 50 to 60 fish."

"Once sea bass appear, they are in groups, and the bite is very fierce. It is very easy to catch a lot of fish in a very short time."

Ding Chongshan has rich fishing experience.

People like Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi who have little fishing experience think that 2,600 to 7,000 kilograms is a lot and unlikely to be caught, but if it is averaged out to each person of Zhao Dahai, it is only about 50 to 60 fish. It is normal to catch so many fish in three hours.

"Zhao Dahai fished for three hours, so doesn't that mean he made nearly 200,000 yuan?"

Chen Miaomiao did some calculations and was very surprised to find that the fish Zhao Dahai caught could be sold for around 200,000 yuan.

Ding Chongshan nodded with a smile. It was indeed the case. Zhao Dahai caught these sea bass in these three hours and sold them for about 180,000 to 200,000 yuan.

"Zhao Dahai makes a lot of money fishing!"

Ding Jie was very emotional.

Generally speaking, people in fishing villages put out fishing nets, and there are fewer people fishing. This is to put out fishing nets, and there is a chance to make more money. Fishermen generally don't make too much money, at least compared to those who go out to sea to fish, they make less money. But Zhao Dahai made much more money from the fish he caught than those who went out to sea to fish, and much more.

"Dad!"

"Is Zhao Dahai planning to invite Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing together?"

Ding Weijun remembered that he seemed to have heard Zhao Dahai or Ding Xiaoxiang talk about this.

"The speedboat Zhao Dahai just bought is so big that it's not impossible for one person to go fishing at sea, but it's a bit of a waste of such a large space."

"Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have all gone fishing with Zhao Dahai many times. At the end of last year, they even went fishing with Zhao Dahai for almost a month at the artificial island reef."

"It's normal for Zhao Dahai to invite them to go fishing at sea. He can make more money by doing so."

Ding Chongshan nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang had said this. Zhao Dahai invited Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing at sea together.

"In that case, wouldn't Zhao Dahai make more money this year?"

Ding Jie thought that Zhao Dahai made a lot of money last year. If he invited Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing at sea this year, he would make more money.

"Zhao Dahai is really good at making money!"

"I'm sure I can make more money this year!"

"Okay!"

"It's getting late, go to bed quickly, we'll be busy tomorrow!"

Ding Chongshan stood up. It was almost one in the morning. He had to get up early tomorrow and had to go to bed.

Zhang Li stood up and went back to the room with Ding Chongshan.

Ding Jie, Ding Weijun, Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi sat on the sofa, looking at each other for a while without wanting to talk, so they all went back to their rooms to sleep.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai woke up from a nap. He had already cooked breakfast when he had dinner last night, and he ate it quickly.

Zhao Dahai saw that his grandmother Zhong Cuihua had woken up, and said that he was going out to sea to fish. This trip would last for two days tomorrow, and he would not come back tonight, but would come back this afternoon.

Zhao Dahai patted Xiao Naihei's forehead, told him to take good care of the house, and left in a hurry.

Zhao Dahai immediately saw Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da waiting on his speedboat at the dock.

"Ah?"

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Why are you two here?"

Zhao Dahai got on the speedboat and found that his second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were both there.

"Ha!"

"We two old men are too bored at home. If you go fishing, we will go out with you to stroll around and kill time."

Shi Guangming said while smoking the hookah in his hand. It was five or six in the morning before dawn, and the white smoke disappeared in the dark night. It was invisible.

"Second Grandpa Shi, we plan to stay overnight this time and will not be back until tomorrow afternoon."

Zhao Dahai looked at his second grandfather Zhao Shi and then at Shi Guangming.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both nodded.

Zhao Dahai smiled. It must be because he was too bored staying at home, especially in the past month. The sea fishing boat was in the deep sea, and his second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming did not go out to sea with him. Now he saw his speedboat going out to sea to fish, and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to go out and blow the sea breeze.

Zhao Dahai knew that his second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were in very good health. Now it was only two days out to sea and there was no impact. Before the New Year, they even stayed on the sea fishing boat for a month.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou quickly checked the speedboat. Everything was normal. Everything needed to go out to sea for fishing, rods, wheels, or live baits were all ready.

Zhao Dahai untied the cable of the speedboat, turned the bow of the speedboat, and left the dock. When there were fewer fishing boats around about one nautical mile, the speed slowly increased, and it drove out to the open sea as fast as an arrow.

Zhao Dahai called Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming to stay in the cabin of the speedboat. The speed was relatively fast, and if the seawater splashed, it would not take long for the clothes to get wet. Although the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the sea breeze would be stronger and a bit cold, especially when the speedboat was very fast.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou wore raincoats and sat on the front deck of the speedboat. The speed was too fast, and everyone held a rope in their hands to ensure safety.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat forward non-stop, and slowed down after about 40 minutes.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou stood up. At this time, the sky had begun to gradually brighten. A lot of lights and the outline of the speedboat could be vaguely seen two or three hundred meters away.

"Ha!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"So many speedboats are here, there must be a tide!"

Zhong Shizhu was very happy.

"Let's wait for the tide to rise and catch a wave of sea bass, and then go fishing for big grouper."

Zhao Dahai was very happy.

Don't look at yourself coming to the island and reef foam area to catch a lot of sea bass, but you are not too familiar with the current tide here. This is not the main fishing spot for fishing, so you haven't studied it.

Yesterday afternoon, a few of us came here to fish, and we caught a lot of fish. When we went back, we were a little worried about whether there would be a tide or a flow here early this morning. We were worried that in this season, the tide in the island and reef foam area would flow later, not in the morning.

I came here with the mentality of giving it a try. I would fish when there was a tide, and leave immediately if there was no tide, and go directly to the artificial islands and reefs. Now that there are so many speedboats, it goes without saying that there must be flowing water. Otherwise, these speedboats specializing in sea bass fishing would not stay here.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately began to prepare for fishing.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming walked out of the cabin of the speedboat, lit the hookah in their hands, and smoked one after another.

"There are too many speedboats in this place!"

"So many people come here to fish every day!"

Shi Guangming took a look at the island and reef foam area. The water had not risen yet, but the speedboats were crowded together one after another with all lights on, and they could be seen clearly.

"What's so strange about this? As long as there is tide and water flowing, there will be a lot of sea bass here every day. How could there be no speedboat fishing here?"

"Not to mention now, even when we went out to sea to fish, there were always a lot of sea bass and a lot of people fishing here!"

Zhao Shi took a puff of water pipe and exhaled thick smoke, and then took a deep breath of the sea breeze blowing in his face. Although he got up early and the speedboat was bumpy no matter how stable it was on the sea, he did feel refreshed now, which was much better than staying at home.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Has this place had a history of fishing sea bass for decades?"

Zhao Dahai quickly prepared not one but three rods, so that if one rod had a problem, it would not delay fishing.

Zhao Dahai has come here to fish for sea bass many times, and almost every time he has returned with a full load, but he is not very familiar with this fishing spot. Now, after hearing what Zhao Shi said, this has been a fishing spot for sea bass since 20 or 30 years ago. It is really incredible that a place can catch so many fish for such a long time. I don’t know how many people it has supported.

"Yeah!"

"This place is really amazing. There have been many sea bass many years ago."

Zhao Shi nodded. The island and reef foam area is indeed an old fishing spot, but there have always been many fish, which is a rare thing.

The fish in a place are native to this place, so it is possible to catch them cleanly or catch them cleanly. However, if these fish come from other places along the tide and water, it is unlikely to be caught cleanly or catch them cleanly no matter how long it takes. The sea bass in the island and reef foam area belongs to the latter.

"Ah?"

"What's going on? Why?"

Zhong Shizhu prepared his fishing rod and was ready to fish at any time. He stood up and looked towards the island reef foam area. After a while, he found something very strange.
