Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

"Every time I see the fish Zhao Dahai catches, I feel that it is too unreal. How can anyone catch so many fish when fishing at sea? Other people who go out to sea to fish, including fishing boats, cannot catch so many fish in such a short time."

"How did Zhao Dahai do this?"

Gao Zhicheng kept shaking his head as he spoke.

"What's so strange about this?"

"All of us who go fishing know that once we find the fish school, we can catch a lot of fish at once. Zhao Dahai has the ability to find the fish school and knows how to catch these fish. It's not surprising that he can catch so many fish in just ten days. What's more, there are not only Zhao Dahai on the speedboat, but also four people including Zhong Shizhu."

"Catching three or four thousand kilograms of fish a day, it's only a few hundred kilograms per person, which is normal."

"For sea bass weighing more than ten kilograms, there are not many fish weighing hundreds of kilograms."

Ding Chongshan smiled. In terms of weight, the fish Zhao Dahai caught were indeed amazing, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is nothing strange about this matter.

"Let's not think about how Zhao Dahai caught so many fish. This is very strange for others, but it's not strange for Zhao Dahai. Don't forget that the fish in the cages here are just the leftover fish. These days, Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and I have taken away a lot of fish from here every day."

"If you calculate it this way, you will know how many fish Zhao Dahai has caught during this period of time."

"Forget it."

"We don't need to think about this. What we need to think about now is what to eat tonight?"

Wu Weimin pointed to the sea bass and black porgy that kept swimming in the cages and the various groupers that were almost unclear under the cages.

"I think we should do this."

"Bring a sea bass, cook the fish head into soup, and slice the fish meat."

"We won't eat black bream, there is a big yellow bream here, let's catch a few yellow bream."

"The other one is to get a red grouper weighing about three to five pounds for steaming."

Ding Chongshan thought about it for a while and came up with an idea.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua actually have a very good relationship with Zhao Dahai and himself. They will not be polite at this time, but relying on their relationship with Zhao Dahai, it is more appropriate to take such an idea.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua all nodded. Ding Chongshan's idea is not bad. They really won't be polite to Zhao Dahai. They can eat whatever they want when they come here.

Sea bass and yellow bream are very easy. There are a lot of fish in the fish fillet. Just use the scoop net to scoop them up, but the red grouper is all at the bottom of the net, and it took a lot of effort to catch it.

"I have to say."

"This fish farm is really great. This fish is well-fed here. There is no impact at all. Why do I feel that it is more vigorous than when it is raised in other places?"

Wu Weimin carefully looked at the sea bass, yellow bream and red grouper that had just been caught. These fish were all raised here after being caught at sea. He had always bought fish from Zhao Dahai and was very familiar with the conditions of the fish here. In the past, the fish caught by Zhao Dahai were raised on the fishing boat or sold to himself and Liu Gang when they were just caught. But no matter what, it seems to be a little worse than now.

"The water quality of the seawater in this place is really very good, and it keeps flowing. Although the fish in the net cages are not fed, it is precisely because of this that these fish are starving and are desperately trying to find ways to catch food."

"Swimming around every day, isn't this just like people who are often active? In this case, it would be strange if these fish were not vigorous!"

Lin Zuhua didn't find it strange at all.

"Yes!"

"That's exactly what happened. These fish have nothing to eat or very little to eat in the cages, and there are so many fish, so they must compete."

"The swimming speed and distance must be fast, so that these fish are all lean and fierce."

"The meat of such fish must be very tender and firm. If you have to say something, it is that it lacks a little fat, but there is really nothing to say about this kind of thing. There are gains and losses."

"Didn't Zhao Dahai raise some fish in a website, waiting to eat them at the end of the year? The fish in the cage will be raised with small fish."

"But I have to remind you later that even if you put small fish in, you can't put too many, otherwise these fish will be too fat, which is not a good thing."

Ding Chongshan pointed to a cage not far away. The fish in it were specially left by Zhao Dahai to be raised and waited for the end of the year.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua walked over and looked down. The number of fish inside was the same, with a lot of black porgy, yellow porgy, and sea bass. In the deeper areas, you could see all kinds of grouper, and even two or three big blue groupers that weighed more than 100 kilograms.

Lin Zuhua took a closer look and saw that Ding Chongshan was right. The fish in this cage seemed to be fatter, and there were some small fish on the water in the net. They were swimming around now. Don't worry. You can't see such a scene in those cages.

“Where did these little fish come from?”

Lin Zuhua was a little surprised. The mesh of the fishing nets used in the cages were so dense that even the heads of chopsticks could not penetrate. Although these small fish were small, they definitely did not swim in through the mesh.

Ding Chongshan pointed to a pulley on the platform between the two fish steaks. On the platform next to it, Zhong Cuihua and Huang Huangtao were sitting there talking. There was a long net cage placed in that place, and everything was placed on this net. Keep the big ones in the box and keep the small ones, which will definitely become food for the big fish.

Lin Zuhua was very curious and immediately walked over to pull the pulley.

"Yo!"

"Is there so many fish?"

Lin Zuhua looked at the fish in the long net cage that was pulled up. There were various sizes of fish, but that was not important. What was important was that the fish inside should weigh three to four hundred kilograms.

"A lot indeed."

"If you can catch so many small fish, it will be enough for the fish in the cage to eat. If you keep raising them like this, they will definitely be very fat, and they will definitely grow very fast."

Lin Zuhua was very surprised.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Huangtao told Lin Zuhua that there were a lot of things going on today. People like Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu had been busy working and had not had time to pull the cage. It had been almost ten hours before there were so many fish. But at the end of the day, On a good day, I can catch five to six hundred kilograms of fish of various sizes, but sometimes I can catch one hundred and eighty kilograms in a day.

"Why are there so many fish in this place?"

Lin Zuhua really didn't quite understand what was going on.

"There is a small running water down here, although it is not very big."

“There are still a lot of fish attracted here, and at night, there will be lights here, so a lot of fish will come here and run into the cage along the flowing water. "

Ding Chongshan told Lin Zuhua what was going on here.

"No way, right? Is there anything like this? In other words, this fish steak place is an incredible place!"

"Right!"

"It's okay. Fishing here is not the same. Can you catch a lot of fish?"

Lin Zuhua immediately thought of this matter.

“You can’t catch very big fish here, and you can’t catch any very valuable fish, but it’s really easy to catch fish.”

"Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu, these two girls, fish with us two old ladies in this place when they have nothing to do! It's easy to catch twenty or thirty kilograms in one day."

In the past few days, Huang Jintao and Zhong Cuihua had really been fishing a lot.

Lin Zuhua couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this is really a good place.

"When the lights here turn on at night, there will really be groups of small fish swimming over!"

"You can see sea bass weighing several kilograms and so on, but there really aren't too many."

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao have been staying in this place almost all the time on the fish raft these days, and they can see these large and small fish on the water every day.

The big fish cannot be caught with a dip net, but the small ones can really be caught with a dip net.

"Last night Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu took a lot of small squid here with the net."

"Boil the water, add some oil, put it down and blanch it and eat it. It tastes really good."

Zhong Cuicui patted her knees. She spent time on the fish steak these days. There were more people and it was more lively. Her life was really easier, and she ate well and the taste was very good.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao originally planned to stay here for three to five days before returning to the village, but now they decided to stay for a longer period of time, maybe ten days and a half or a month or something.

When people like Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng heard what Zhong Cuihua said, their mouths immediately flowed out. People who like fishing actually like to eat seafood very much. They know very well how delicious the little squid they just caught like this are.

"I wonder if there are any more tonight?"

Gao Zhicheng said while looking at the water next to him with wide eyes.

"It's impossible to say for sure!"

"It'll be dark soon!"

“We’ll know later if there will be one!”

Zhong Cuihua smiled and shook her head. It seems that people like Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng like to eat these small squids very much, but the freshness of such small squids really depends on the trend. Sometimes, Sometimes you really can't tell.

Ding Chongshan and Wu Weimin untied the rope at the back of the long net cage and poured all the fish into the fish raft cage next to it.

"Are there so many fish in here?"

Lin Zuhua was startled. He already knew that all the fish in this cage were specially raised by Zhao Dahai. He was waiting for them to share food with others at the end of the year. He had just seen a small drop in the water in this cage. Schools of fish were swimming around, and we could see fish such as sea bass and grouper deeper in the area. But now these small fish fell down and suddenly rushed out from nowhere. Lots of fish.

"Some of the fish in the net cage were caught in the net cages here in the past few days."

"All the small ones were eaten, and the big ones were left. The other part was that some of the fish caught by Zhao Dahai were put in here. The purpose was to raise them to be bigger and fatter."

Ding Chongshan knew the situation of this row of fish very well.

"Looks like this, when the Chinese New Year comes, we will have delicious fish again!"

Gao Zhicheng looked at the 20-30 kg big sea bass that rushed out of the water. During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Dahai must have delivered these fish to his people.

"Do I need to say this? Since we met Zhao Dahai, when have we ever lacked delicious fish? What I'm thinking about now is the winter crabs I ate last year. Can I still eat them this year!"

Wu Weimin thought of the winter crabs he ate last year, and his saliva couldn't help but flow out.

"If it's really hard to say!"

"We have to wait until the New Year, Zhao Dahai will take people to put crab cages to see if we can catch crabs in the place where we caught them last year. If we can catch them, everyone will have something to eat. If we can't catch them, then there is really nothing we can do. Whether we can eat them depends on whether we are lucky!"

Ding Chongshan, like Wu Weimin, misses the winter crabs he ate last year very much, but this matter is really hard to say. The number of winter crabs has been decreasing in recent years. Last year, he was really lucky and accidentally found a place. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai would never have been able to catch so many winter crabs. This is a very seasonal crab. It is only delicious in winter when it grows roe and yellow.

"Ding Chongshan."

"What's going on? Why are there so few winter crabs in recent years?"

"You can't get many when you collect fish, shrimp and crabs these years, right?"

Wu Weimin remembered this matter.

Winter crabs are very delicious crabs. They grow a lot of roe and yellow in autumn and winter every year.

The price is quite high, but the quantity has been decreasing in recent years. I haven't eaten it properly for many years.

Ding Chongshan is in the business of purchasing fish, shrimp and crabs. No one knows the quantity of winter crabs every year better than him.
