Chapter 549 It’s time to go back and enjoy the New Year
Night is falling
The deck of the fishing boat is brightly lit, and there is no one there.
It was raining lightly in the sky, the entire deck was wet, and the wind was very cold.
The inside of the cab is as warm as spring.
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and Wu Weimin gathered around a table and ate heartily.
“Ha!”
“I caught almost five thousand kilograms of winter crabs!”
Shi Jiehua’s face was red.
“Big and fat!”
"Dad!"
"How many years have we seen winter crabs like this?!"
Shi Zhongwei picked up a cooked winter crab and broke open the shell. Seeing the cream but not the meat, my mouth watered down all of a sudden.
“Zhao Dahai!”
“How about putting the crab pot in again later?!”
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai. All three hundred and fifty crab pots were pulled out, and about five thousand kilograms of winter crabs were caught. The harvest was really good.
“Ha!”
“You don’t all want to put the crab pots again, right?”
Zhao Dahai saw not only people like Zhong Shizhu and Shi Jiehua , even Wu Weimin and Xu Yuanjiang didn't speak, they all looked at him eagerly.
“Do you need to say anything? After catching so many winter crabs, you must be thinking about putting them in crab pots again!”
Wu Weimin nodded without hesitation.
"Zhao Dahai."
"You mean there is no need to put the crab pots again?"
Shi Jiehua immediately saw that Zhao Dahai was not like this. Intend.
Zhao Dahai nodded. He really had no such plan. If he really had such a plan, he would have to put away all the crab pots and prepare them immediately. How could he eat and drink as much as he does now.
"Why not?"
Shi Jiehua was very surprised.
One hundred and fifty crab pots. Each crab pot caught a lot of winter crabs. Together they weighed 5,000 kilograms, which was worth hundreds of thousands or even more than one million.
Zhao Dahai must know how much these winter crabs are worth. Why did you decide not to put crab pots anymore? Don't say anything like New Year's Day is approaching and you have to rush back.
Ordinary people should not talk about the New Year. Even if there are knives from the sky, even if there are swords and mountains of fire, you have to continue to put crab pots to catch winter crabs at this time.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that I could catch so many winter crabs by putting crab pots here."
Zhao Dahai never expected to catch so many winter crabs from the beginning. These winter crabs It is very valuable. Maybe if I had known that there were so many winter crabs here, I would have placed crab pots here.
“Have you noticed?”
“In the crab pots that are put down, the two hundred in front can almost catch a cage full of winter crabs.”
< br>……
"The number of winter crabs in the later crab pots, especially the last one hundred crab pots, is decreasing."
...
"The last twenty or so crabs There were almost only one or two crabs caught in the cage."
...
Shi Jiehua, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou slowly calmed down.
"Zhao Dahai."
"You mean there are not many winter crabs in the sea now, or there are not as many winter crabs left as we thought."
"Nothing. Is it necessary to put the crab pot in again?"
Shi Jiehua is far more experienced than the average person, and he immediately understood what Zhao Dahai meant.
“Yes! That’s right! It’s true. Don’t look at the fact that we caught a total of about 5,000 kilograms of winter crabs, but in fact the harvest from those crab pots at the beginning was very good. The harvest is getting worse and worse, especially in the last crab pots, there are not many winter crabs.”
Zhao Dahai has been paying attention to the number of winter crabs in the crab pots he picked up. It was indeed very good at first, but then it gradually became less and less. The number of winter crabs in the sea was not as many as it seemed and imagined.
Shi Jiehua, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da looked at each other. They didn’t want to admit it but they could only nod their heads. They only saw how many winter crabs they had caught in total. I didn't notice what Zhao Dahai said.
“Are there still winter crabs in the sea now? There must be winter crabs, but now if we put 350 crab pots, or even only 100 crab pots, we can still catch them There are quite a few.”
“However, don’t forget that other people don’t know the point of setting up winter crabs now. If you continue to put crab pots, it may be leaked.”< br>
“If you can catch a winter crab weighing four to five thousand kilograms, it is definitely worth the risk of leakage. But if you only have two or three hundred kilograms or even three to five hundred kilograms, there is no need to do this.”
"It's very uneconomical."
Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu and Shi Jiehua that they must consider the risk of leakage if they continue to stock winter crabs here.
Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhongwei, Wu Weimin, and Xu Yuanjiang immediately realized that the point of catching winter crabs in front of them had nothing to do with them. Whether to release the crab pots or not depends on Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu. After deliberation and decision, he simply shut his mouth and stopped talking and expressed no opinions.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were startled.
Seeing that so many winter crabs were caught in the crab pots, they all forgot about it. All they could think about was to continue to place crab pots to catch winter crabs, but they did not expect that once crabs were placed here, If you cage it a lot, you are really likely to be discovered by others.
"Alas!"
"Why did everyone forget about this?"
Zhong Shizhu patted the back of his head hard. He had discovered the winter crab here almost twenty days ago. of crabs. Why haven't there been crab pots for so long? Aren't you just worried about being discovered by others?
I just put the crab pots in yesterday and put them up immediately today, just to prevent others from discovering that I and others are crab pots in this place.
Although it is almost the Chinese New Year and the weather is not very good, no one can guarantee whether there will be other speedboats or fishing boats on the artificial islands.
If there are still a lot of winter crabs on the seabed, it is worth taking such a risk, but Zhao Dahai made it very clear just now that there were a lot of winter crabs in the crab pots at the beginning, but when the crab pots were pulled up later, the winter crabs became more numerous. There are fewer and fewer winter crabs, and even the number of winter crabs in each of the last twenty crab pots is only one or two.
"Zhao Dahai."
"You are right, we really should not continue to put crab pots."
At first, Liu Bin thought that we should stop putting crab pots. Put out a crab pot, Zhao Dahai said, and immediately realized that he shouldn't do this.
People like Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng, including Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei, don’t pay much attention to the place where animals and crabs are caught here. In other words, this place has nothing to do with them, but it is particularly relevant to people like them. It is related to Zhao Dahai. Once it is leaked, people like Wu Weimin will have no loss, but for people like himself, the loss will be very great.
Be careful with your ten thousand year ship. You would rather not capture it than leak this place.
Zhao Dahai looked at the expressions on the faces of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and knew that he had figured out the reason behind this. He knew that it was not suitable to continue setting crab pots to catch winter crabs in the sea.
Zhao Dahai told people like Zhong Shizhu and Shi Jiehua that it is not suitable to put out crab pots to catch these winter crabs now, but they can put out crab pots again after the New Year, such as the second and third days of junior high school.
One is that after a few days, there may be a lot of winter crabs here again, and the other is on the second and third day of the Lunar New Year. There are fewer fishing boats and speedboats in the sea, so it is safer to put crab pots. , the probability of others discovering it is low.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou kept nodding, and there was no problem with the arrangement.
"Uncle Shi."
"Keep this boat for now. After the second and third days of the new year, we will put the crab pots here again. If nothing unexpected happens, we can make a lot of money."< br>
Zhao Dahai looked at Shi Jiehua. Setting up crab pots to catch winter crabs requires fishing boats and manpower. You and Zhong Shizhu can certainly do it, but two more people would be better.
Shi Jiehua nodded and agreed.
“Boss Wu and Boss Gao, how are you doing?”
"Do you have time for the second and third grade of junior high school? If you have time, come here. If not, you will probably have to wait for next year! This time is not fixed. Otherwise, you can call me when you decide to go overseas."
Zhao Dahai asked Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yunjiang if they had time.
Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua, and Xu Yuanjiang thought about it for a while, but they couldn't make up their minds. They were all in business. They were very busy during the second and third days of the junior high school. They really couldn't say they had time. Just come over, if you don’t have time, don’t come over.
Zhao Dahai had discussed and arranged this matter. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten and it was getting late, he drove the fishing boat back to meet the fishing boat.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stayed in the cab, smoking hookah non-stop, with a little anxious expressions on their faces.
Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua went to pull the crab pots, but a very long time had passed. They should have come back now, but there was no one there. "What's going on? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Shi Guangming was really anxious, wondering if he should just go and take a look.
“Hmph!”
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing will happen!"
Zhao Shi was also a little anxious, but very calm.
One is that although the weather is not good now, it is not a big problem. There is just a little wind, a little wave and a light rain. This kind of weather poses no difficulty to those who go fishing.
The other thing is that this is a large fishing boat that pulls crab pots, and it is very safe.
What's more important is that Zhao Dahai is very cautious, and then there are Shi Jiehua, Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin, all of whom have very rich experience.
No matter from which aspect, there will be no problem.
I am indeed a little worried, but at this time, I have to stay calm and not go to Zhao Dahai blindly.
“It’s not the first day to go to sea, maybe you don’t know what you have to do now?”
Zhao Shi took a long puff of water pipe.
"Hey!"
"What's going on? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Shi Guangming patted his face. Zhao Shi was right, this At that time, we couldn't go to Zhao Dahai and the others.
"Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua put a total of 350 crab pots."
"The weather is not good now, even if there is a cage lifter, it will cost a lot. It takes more time to pull them up, and if you catch more winter crabs and have to spend time tying them up, you will definitely have to come back later.”
Zhao Shi has more experience in fishing. He thought about what he said carefully as he spoke. If he really encountered a huge swarm of crabs, it would be normal for him not to come back at this time.
“Ha!”
“Old Man Zhao!”
“You are right. Did I forget about this a long time ago?”
"Our judgment was correct. There must have been a large number of winter crabs gathering in that place during this period."
"The crab pots that Zhao Dahai and the others set up are just because they caught a lot of winter crabs, that's why they didn't come back so late!"
Shi Guangming really calmed down now.
Eleven o'clock in the evening.
Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stood on the deck of the fishing boat, looking at the fishing boat getting closer and closer, and their hearts that had been hanging were really relieved.
“Be careful!”
"The waves on the sea are a little big!"
Zhao Shi shouted loudly to remind Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin on the deck of the fishing boat opposite, and pointed to the sea to remind Zhao Dahai that when the fishing boat stopped, Don't get too close to fishing boats.
Zhao Dahai parked the fishing boat. After a while, everyone returned from the fishing boat catching crabs to the fishing boat.
“Did you really catch so many winter crabs?”
Shi Guangming had long known that Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua had caught about five thousand kilograms of winter crabs this time. But I couldn't believe it. I saw Zhao Dahai and had to confirm it.
Zhao Dahai pointed to the fishing boat catching crabs parked nearby and said with a smile that these crabs are all kept in the living cabin. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look now.
“Ha!”
“How about it?”
“Old man Zhao and I are really good, right? We already know that a large number of winter people gather in that place. Crab!”
Shi Guangming was proud.
"Grandpa!"
"The winter crabs caught this time are bigger than the ones caught by Brother Dahai and the others in crab pots last time. Each time, there was probably one pound, two, two, or three pounds. "
Shi Zhongwei gestured with his hands to figure out the size of the winter crab he caught this time.
“Yo!”
“Are they so big? It seems that these winter crabs have grown a lot in the past twenty days?”
"Or maybe these winter crabs came from other places during this period, and the new winter crabs are all big?"
Shi Guangming turned around and looked at the fishing boat parked next to him. , I almost couldn’t help but want to go over and take a look, but now it’s dark and the waves are a bit big, so it’s a bit dangerous to go there, so I can only wait until it’s daytime tomorrow.
One o'clock in the morning.
It is quiet at night.
Zhong Shizhu, Wu Weimin, Shi Jiehua and others all went to sleep.
Only Zhao Shi and Zhao Dahai were left in the cab of the fishing boat.
"There are really a lot of winter crabs caught this time. What are you going to do with them? Or should each family get a share?"
Zhao Shi turned around while smoking a hookah. After taking a look at Zhao Dahai, he saw that the winter crabs he had caught were only a few hundred or even a thousand kilograms, so there was nothing wrong with dividing them up. However, he caught too many crabs this time.
“Yeah!”
“Let’s break up all the original plans!”
Zhao Dahai knew that his second grandfather, Zhao Shi, had seen that these winter crabs were very big and weighed about 5,000 kilograms. If they were sold now, the price would be very high, hundreds of thousands or even one million. It felt like this It would not be appropriate to divide it.
"Second Grandpa."
"I know these winter crabs are indeed worth a lot of money."
......
"But catching these During the winter crab season, the situation is a bit special. If I have to say, I must have discovered this point.”
"But there are a lot of people on the fishing boat."
......
"If nothing else, Grandpa Shi Guang and Akashi alone will not be able to get around."
...
Zhao Dahai carefully stated his thoughts. Dividing all the winter crabs that I caught is not only because I have made a lot of money this year, but also to let everyone have a good year. Another consideration is that the point of catching winter crabs is not found by myself alone, but also by everyone. If they were involved, Shi Guangming and Zhong Shizhu felt that something was wrong. They just followed their own ships out to sea, especially Shi Guangming.
"Second Grandpa!"
"My idea is to share all the winter crabs caught this year, no matter how many, and don't sell them."
"I will sell the winter crabs caught next year Come on, let’s think about how to divide the money!”
Zhao Dahai has a headache. He really hasn’t thought of a good solution to this matter, so he can only do this for the time being.
Zhao Shikao nodded, just do it this year, there is nothing wrong with it, what to do next year, now I don’t know what to do, let it go, let’s talk about it next year.
"Zhao Dahai."
"You're going back to the village early tomorrow morning, right?"
Zhao Shi glanced at the dark sea outside the fishing boat.
“Ha!”
“That’s right!”
"Go back to the village early tomorrow morning!"
"Go home to celebrate the New Year!"
Zhao Dahai smiled loudly. After working for such a long time and making a lot of money, it is time to go back and have a good life. New Year's Eve.
