Chapter 241 Ding Xiaoxiang’s Worry
Eight o’clock in the evening.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly to the dock.
The rain was not too heavy, but it kept falling. It felt chilly when the sea breeze blew over.
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.
“It’s gone?”
“Is that all?”
Zhao Dahai couldn’t believe it and walked back and forth in the living cabin with the net. After scraping several times, no fish was missed. I looked at the water tank and roughly counted less than thirty black sea bream, each of which was less than the size of a palm.
“You can’t catch more than just fishing 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 even 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 all the fish were put in the live fish pond to raise, and then he took a bath and changed clothing.
Zhao Dahai held a big bowl, stuffed pork belly as big as his hand into his mouth, and bit it hard, and all the oily flakes came out, covering his mouth.
Zhao Dahai felt at ease after eating three large bowls of rice and almost a pound of pork belly.
“Grandma.”
"I didn't catch any fish today!"
Zhao Dahai picked up the hot seaweed and egg drop soup and drank it in one gulp.
"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.
Zhao Dahai finished his dinner and walked out of the courtyard. The weather was bad, and the entire fishing village and the entire sea were shrouded in rain and fog.
There won't be heavy fog tomorrow, right?
Zhao Dahai was a little worried. If you can't catch any fish today, you will continue to work tomorrow. There is no future if you stay at home. As long as you go to sea, there is hope. Not afraid of rain, just afraid of fog or 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. There is no use worrying about it now.
Four thirty 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 pier to get on the speedboat. .
Zhao Dahai looked at the sea carefully. There was no fog. What he was worried about last night did not happen. He simply packed up his things and immediately went to sea. Two nautical miles away from the dock, the sea was open.
Zhao Dahai turned on the navigation and fish finder, set today’s fishing spots, and slowly increased his speed.
Will I catch a fish today?
Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked into the distance. Without the usual lights of 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, his face a bit ugly. 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 we only use chilled fish?
The main specialty of the seafood restaurant is fresh seafood. It’s all chilled fish, what’s going on?
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 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 now? It's the fishing moratorium.
Where is Zhao Dahai?
Why can’t I see anyone yet? Could it be said that there are no people who go to sea?
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 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 greeted her regardless of the rain.
"Ah?"
"Is it just a little bit of black sea bream, yellow sea bream and sea bass?"
"Isn't this green-spotted one 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, and it's not easy to get some work."
"Not only are the numbers small, but they are also much smaller."
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’s good if you have to eat it, you don’t have to choose.
“Ding Xiaoxiang!”
"Can you send more fish tomorrow? The total amount is only fifty or sixty kilograms, which is really not enough to sell."
Liu Gang wants 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 everything. Chilled goods are just the beginning now, but they will become even more rare in twenty days or even a month.
“Boss Liu.”
“Where is Zhao Dahai?”
"Why don't you see anyone selling fish here?"
Ding Xiaoxiang didn't see Zhao Dahai after waiting for a while, so she couldn't help but ask Liu Gang if Zhao Dahai was here today.
Liu Gang shook his head, Zhao Dahai didn't come.
Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment.
Didn’t you come?
Wouldn’t it be impossible to catch fish?
Yesterday was the first day of the fishing moratorium, and Zhao Dahai definitely went to sea.
Not coming here to sell fish is 100% because you didn’t catch any fish or you 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 it was raining non-stop.
Is it because of the weather?
Ding Xiaoxiang remembered that early in the morning, the weather forecast said that such weather would last 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.
The last time we met, Zhao Dahai said that he had not fished for more than ten days before the fishing moratorium. He was just visiting fishing spots to scan the spots, thinking that he would be well prepared to go fishing once the fishing moratorium started. God's calculations are not as good as those of man, and I didn't catch any fish on the first day.
Ding Xiaoxiang waited for half an hour, but Zhao Dahai did not show up. She had no choice but to go back.
“Huh?”
“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.
"It's okay."
"It's just that Liu Gang said if there could be more fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow."
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head, worried that Zhao Dahai wouldn't be able to catch any fish. Things can't be told.
“Yo!”
"What are you thinking about? It's the fishing moratorium now."
"What we sell at the stall is all chilled. Where can we get more freshness?"
Zhang Li shook her head directly, this is Impossible things.
“Mom!”
“Aren’t there a lot of fishing boats? There are so few fish? Dad didn’t catch any fish? How many can be harvested, right?”
Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't help asking for news.
“Hey!”
“How can it be so easy?”
“It doesn’t mean that there are fewer fishing boats putting fishing nets, but fishing boats will definitely be able to catch fish. Catching a lot of fish. In any case, the fishing efficiency of fishing boats is definitely not as good as that of fishing nets.”
“Otherwise, there would be fishing boats everywhere.”
< br>
"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 is very Understand the situation and know what is 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 only cost him a day's gas. There are quite a few, ranging from three to 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 sugarcane, etc. Each fish can be sold for ten thousand, twenty thousand or even thirty five. Ten thousand.
But when you can’t catch fish, you lose more than a little bit every time you go.
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.
I didn’t catch any fish yesterday and lost thousands of dollars.
How can it be easy to make money?
Which trip to the sea can make you catch fish and make money?
Who knows?
Zhao Dahai has to endure tremendous pressure every day when he drives the speedboat to leave the dock.
Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, her brows were knitted tightly, and there was no smile on her little face. She was someone who had been there before, so she probably knew what was going on. She wanted to say a few words, but she swallowed her words. After going back, whether it is Zhao Dahai or someone else, 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 is it!?"
Lin Zuhua shouted, and took a tissue from the tea table and wiped his face rainwater.
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 when 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 went fishing by themselves. , we have to spend twenty days together a month, and our relationship is very good.
“You can’t do anything in this weather! It’s really 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 teacup in his hand. Usually when he comes here, the door of the store is crowded, with people and cars parked. Today, no one has a car.
"Yeah."
"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."
< br>“This is the most leisurely time!”
Ding Chongshan nodded.
"Ha!"
"More leisure time but more money!"
Lin Zuhua took out cigarettes from his pocket, flicked two out, lit one himself, took a puff, and The latter lay on the sofa. During the two-month fishing moratorium, the number of fish, shrimps and crabs was very small, but the price increased. Ding Chongshan made as much money as usual, and even made more than usual.
Ding Chongshan smiled and nodded. There is no need to hide this matter in front of Lin Zuhua, it is the fact.
“That’s right!”
"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 out to sea with Ding Chongshan. fishing.
“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 himself hard thigh.
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 go out fishing every day like before. Now it’s just a couple of trips to the sea to catch fish. What’s the problem?”
“Isn’t this freedom gone?”
< br>
Lin Zuhua and Ding Chongshan, who have been friends for many years, know exactly what is going on.
"You can't catch any fish in this weather! There are many fishing boats out to sea, but I can't catch any fish."
Ding Chongshan blushed.
“Don’t say anything!”
“This matter is settled.”
"I'm going to Langtou Village now to see if I can find this Zhao Dahai."
"Let's see what's going on."
"If there are really no fish, then just take it easy. If there are fish, then book a boat and go fishing."
Lin Zuhua waved his hand. This is an excuse, but it is also a fact. Ding Chongshan buys fish, shrimps and crabs all day long, especially if there are any fish in the sea. It is very clear whether the fishing boat can catch fish.
"OK."
"Then you go and take a look first. We'll talk about it when there are fish."
Ding Chongshan gritted his teeth. His hands were really itchy. At worst, he could kill it first and then show it off, or he could just not let Zhang Li know about it.
Lin Zuhua drank tea for a while and drove away.
"This Zhao Dahai is indeed 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 had not fished for many years. Recently, he I have always wanted to fish, but my hands are getting more and more itchy and I can no longer control it. Once Lin Zuhua and Zhao Dahai decide on a boat spot, he will definitely not be able to bear it and must 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 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 the weather so affected?!”
Zhao Dahai wiped his face while putting out the line. The fish detector showed that there were fish on the bottom of the sea and there were quite a lot of them. , but doesn’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.
“Should we bet on the big grouper once we 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 Gailiu, the engine of the speedboat kept stopping and burning 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 grouper in Gailiu, you will only lose two thousand today. If you go, you will lose four thousand.
Could it be another day of making small losses and making profits?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The sea is completely 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 is not big. Looking at it now, it not only has an impact but also a great impact, more than himself. imagination.
Zhao Dahai watched the surrounding speedboats leave one after another. At this time, the tide of grouper fishing had almost arrived, and they were all betting on large groupers.
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 fishing for yellow roosters. The only way to catch a few fish was to be more diligent and catch one more. He continued fishing until he was extremely hungry at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dahai put down the pole and got into the cockpit. There is a large sleeping cabin in the big speedboat, which can accommodate two people. It is very spacious. It is very comfortable to hide in such a rainy day. He took it The lunch box I brought out in the morning became a little hard due to the coldness. I couldn't care less. I finished my meal in big mouthfuls, took the thermos cup, unscrewed the lid, put a handful of the tea I brought in the morning, put it in, screwed the lid on and shook it. After a few sips and a few sips, I was soaked and felt extremely comfortable.
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. They all ran away, either to gamble on the big grouper. Just go home.
Do it!
Work hard!
Zhao Dahai picked up the pole, filled the bait cage with Antarctic shrimps, and hung deep-sea centipedes on the hooks. He stood beside the speedboat and lowered the line directly to the 98-meter water layer. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. , lift it up and lower it suddenly while swinging the pole slightly left and right, all the Antarctic shrimps in the bait cage will spill out, attracting as many fish as possible.
Huh?
Bite?
What's going on?
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 as 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.
Asking for monthly tickets and recommended tickets! Thanks!
