Chapter 102 The fishermen settle accounts
"Da Dahai."
"Have you made money fishing these days?"
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai and said, Several people like Lei Da went to sea to put fishing nets, but only Zhao Dahai went to sea to fish.
“I have indeed made money in the past two days, but I went out to sea a few days ago to fish for black sea bream by shaking the pile, and I only caught a dozen fish in two or three days.”
"Basically, I didn't make much money."
Zhao Dahai did a quick calculation and found that he had indeed made money fishing for sand pointed fish in the past two days. The fish he just sold during the day was almost 1,400 yuan. , if we only count these two days, we can earn 700 yuan a day, which is very good, but we can’t calculate the accounts. In the first three days, the swinger only caught a dozen fish, so on average, it’s less than 300 yuan a day. Yuan, gas money costs at least fifty or sixty yuan a day. Fishing is not just about having a hook, let alone one hook and one line. If the hook is thrown out and cannot be retrieved, it will break. If the line is broken, the lead weight will be gone. There are all kinds of situations. These losses are money. It costs twenty or thirty yuan a day. If you add in the bait, it will cost another twenty yuan. After all, the net profit is less than two hundred yuan. Now the wind is blowing and the weather is turning gray, and I have to go out to sea for several days and can't fish. If I spread it out like this, I can't make much money in thirty days a month.
“However, this month was okay. I had a good harvest fishing for black sea bream at the beginning and made a few thousand yuan. Then I caught that gentian grouper and made another few thousand yuan.”
"No matter what happens this month, I will definitely make money."
"But."
"Isn't there another diesel engine installed on my fishing boat?"
"It cost more than five thousand."
"I really don't have much money on hand."
Zhao Dahai didn't know it, but he was shocked when he calculated that he had made a lot of money this month, but he had spent a lot. What's even more troublesome is that the weather is not very good.
The biggest fear when going fishing is not that there are no fish in the sea, but the weather.
As long as the weather is good and you can go to sea, you will definitely not lose money. It is just a difference between making more or less. However, like now, if there are strong winds and waves for a few days a month, almost one-third of the time, or even half a month, will be wasted.
No matter how many fish there are in the sea, there is nothing we can do about it.
"The sea."
"Are you just going to fish? Are you going to go out to sea and put fishing nets?"
Liu Bin took out a cigarette from his pocket, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da Everyone handed him a cigarette. Knowing that Zhao Dahai didn't smoke, he lit one himself and stuffed the cigarette case back into his pocket.
Zhao Dahai nodded. He only fished during this period and had no plans to set out fishing nets for the time being.
“The fishing is good.”
“The cost is relatively low.”
……
“Hey!”
"If I can't catch any fish with my fishing net, I'll have to go fishing."
...
"It's the fishing moratorium soon!"
"This again I won’t be able to go fishing for almost two months! Stay at home and drink the northwest wind?”
……
"Let's see if we can find a part-time job!"
......
Zhao Dahai listened silently to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's work.
The number of fish, shrimps and crabs in the offshore waters is getting smaller and smaller. People like Zhong Shizhu are all veteran fishermen with more than ten years of fishing experience. They have not caught many fish, shrimps and crabs. It is impossible for them to catch them no matter what they do. More powerful than them.
If you want to catch more fish, you have to buy a bigger fishing boat, you have to go to the open sea, and you even have to go to the deep sea.
Such fishing boats are expensive and require more manpower.
No matter what, you can't play it by yourself. Fishing moratorium?
It will be about two months before I can go fishing.
Buy a fishing boat?
Build a house?
Marry a wife, have children, and support your family?
Each one costs a lot of money.
Everything is not easy.
Zhao Dahai frowned slowly.
If a fishing boat goes out to sea, it will definitely make money?
I think too simply.
Weather, lack of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, fishing moratorium, etc., these are the real living conditions of fishermen.
Zhao Dahai didn't go home until eleven o'clock. There was no need to go fishing at sea, so he slept soundly until ten o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, he watered the vegetable field behind the house and fed the chickens. Returning to the door of the yard, I looked at the sea in the distance, rows after rows of white-headed waves, and the snowflakes on the blue sea. Most people may think they are beautiful when they look at it, but the fishermen want to scold them. This situation, Don't say that you may not be able to go to sea in two or three days, or even in five or six days.
Zhao Dahai was a little worried about the fishing boats parked at the pier. The waves were very windy. He went back to the house and talked to his grandma Zhong Cuihua, then rode his motorcycle to the pier.
Zhao Dahai got on the fishing boat and carefully checked the cables and anchors. There were no problems and they were secure.
Zhao Dahai took a net bag from the cabin and a fishing net. He came here and had nothing to do at home. He walked around the beach to see if there were any fish caught by the strong wind and waves.
“Ha!”
“The sea.”
“What do you want to do? You don’t want to pick up fish, do you?”
>
Zhao Dahai looked up and saw Zhong Shizhu.
“Huh?”
“Have you picked them up and brought them back?”
Zhao Dahai found that Zhong Shizhu was carrying a mesh bag in his hand with several fish in it .
“Ha!”
"It's not that I picked it up and came back, but that many people picked it up! There are still many people here!"
Zhong Shizhu pointed in the direction of the beach and reef.
Zhao Dahai turned around and looked over. The area between the beach and the reef was not too large, but there must be at least twenty or thirty people in total.
“Ha!”
“The sea.”
"During the last strong wind, I picked up a lot of fish."
"This time everyone rushed early, but they all collided together."
Zhong Shizhu checked the fishing boat. In the windy weather of Baidulang, you have to be careful. The cable is not tied properly or the anchor is not hooked properly. The wind keeps blowing and the waves keep beating. If the fishing boat becomes loose, it floats away or sinks in the water. , the loss would be huge.
Zhao Dahai was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn’t expect this to happen, but he picked up the net bag and the net. He had nothing to do at home. He just went for a walk. If there were fish, he could pick up fish and take a walk to pass the time. .
Zhao Dahai walked along the beach in the direction of the reef. For a few hundred meters there were only a few rotten little fish that no one wanted and two or three small crabs as big as fingernails. He was gnawing around these few fish. Stop, there's not a single decent one.
Zhao Dahai knew that he would not be able to pick up the fish, so he didn't care at all. He climbed up the reef, met a few people from the village, chatted for a few words and said hello, and continued to walk forward until he reached the end of the reef area. Unfortunately, there really isn’t even a decent fish.
In windy and choppy weather, there are not many fish caught. If there are few people, the number can be reduced to some extent. Twenty or thirty people keep walking back and forth, and the fish will see the ghost.
Zhao Dahai stood on a higher reef and stared at the places where the waves hit the waterline. He originally thought that he would be lucky enough to see one or two freshly caught fish and have a meal at noon. To eat, I didn’t expect that when I looked at it, I saw something.
Nothing to do!
How about getting some of this stuff!
Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while and thought it was a good idea. If he wanted to do this thing, he had to get tools first, then turned around and went home.
