Chapter 1091 Meals Must Be Arranged First
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their breakfast, checked that they had taken everything with them, and immediately boarded the speedboat to go fishing.
Ding Dawen watched Zhao Dahai's speedboat leave, walked to the side of the fishing boat, and looked down.
The weather was very good, the wind was calm, the lights were on on the fishing boat, and the sound of rising water could be heard from time to time on the surrounding sea. These were all large tadpole fish preying on the small fish attracted by the lights.
Ding Dawen checked several fishing rods and found that some of the fish had died. He replaced them with new live ones, put them back into the sea, and adjusted their positions.
Ding Dawen checked the fish in the live water tank. There was no big problem. A few dead ones were fished out and put in the cold storage. After breakfast, it was still dark. He looked at the time and it was just past four in the morning, less than five o'clock. He remembered the small fish attracted by the lights next to the fishing boat. He took the sea bass fishing rod, hung live shrimps on it and put it down. He didn't put it too deep, just put it in one meter of water. The rod led the shrimps to stroll around the fishing boat.
"Here it comes!"
Ding Dawen raised his hand suddenly, raised the rod and stabbed the fish, reeled it up and pulled it out of the water, and scooped it up with a scoop net in one hand. The fish was not particularly big, but not small, five or six pounds, very fat. There were fish in the sea next to the fishing boat, and there were schools of fish. He hurried to continue fishing and fished for half an hour in one breath.
"Wow!"
"How long have you been fishing? How did you catch so many?"
Lin Zuhua yawned and walked out of the cabin to the upper deck. He saw Ding Dawen fishing for sea bass and walked over quickly. He looked at the large box of water on the deck and saw a dozen sea bass swimming around.
Ding Dawen smiled and told Lin Zuhua that he had only been fishing for about half an hour.
Lin Zuhua became interested. He caught so many fish in such a short time. There must be a group of sea bass in the sea beside the fishing boat. He immediately took the rod, hung live shrimps on it and put it into the sea. He shook it twice and fish bit the hook immediately.
"Ha!"
"Ding Dawen."
"Why do we need to go out to sea? Can't we catch a lot of fish here?"
Lin Zuhua was very happy. He didn't know where the sleepiness just now went. He was very energetic.
Fishing boats have been parked here for several days in a row. It is like a natural reef or an island in the sea. In addition, there are lights every night, which attract small fish around. With small fish, there will be big fish. There are some big fish every day, especially fish like sea bass that gather here to prey on small fish.
Sometimes you can catch fish, but it's just like this. The fish schools are big and small and unstable. It's okay to catch a few for fun or make two or three hundred yuan or five or six yuan. It's impossible to catch a lot and make a lot of money.
"Why do I feel that fishing is a very simple thing?"
Ding Dawen didn't use a scoop net. He pulled up a sea bass weighing about three pounds by pulling the line, unhooked and threw it into the water tank next to him.
Ding Dawen really thinks fishing is not difficult at all. Just now, he caught nearly 20 sea bass, some of which were five or six pounds, some were two or three pounds, and the smallest was only one pound, but no matter what, it was really easy to fish.
"Ding Dawen!"
"It's not strange that you feel this way."
"But this is definitely not right!"
"Your uncle Ding Chongshan and I have been friends for many years. We have been fishing together since my father was young."
"For decades, I have never felt that fishing is a simple and easy thing."
"But since I went fishing with Zhao Dahai, I began to feel that the fish in the sea are like watermelons in the field, and you can pick them up at will."
"You have the same feeling now, which is actually the same as mine, but if you go fishing seriously, and you are fishing with other speedboats or boat captains, you will find that the fish in the sea seem to disappear all of a sudden and you can't catch them at all."
Lin Zuhua is not surprised at all that Ding Dawen has such a feeling. In fact, he has the same feeling.
Don't look at the fact that he only caught 700 to 800 kilograms of fish yesterday, but you have to look at how many fish other speedboats caught.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, Zhao Dahai can catch at least 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms, 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms, or even 10,000 kilograms in a day as long as he goes out to sea. It is not difficult for him to catch fish on such a speedboat.
"You are just fishing on a fishing boat now, and fishing is not for making money. One is fishing for fun, and the other is to catch as much as you can. There is no pressure. Sometimes you catch more, and sometimes you catch less."
"You will feel this way. Once you have to fish seriously to make money, it will not be the same."
Lin Zuhua knows very well what fishing is.
"Yes!"
"Now fishing is just for fun. If you can catch one, you can catch one. There is no pressure to make money."
"If you really make money by fishing, it will not be the same."
Ding Dawen pondered it carefully. What Chen Zuhua said was not wrong at all. He did catch a lot of fish today, but he didn't catch many fish in the past two days. If he calmed down, he really didn't catch many fish. If he bought a speedboat to go fishing, or paid the fishing fee to go fishing with others, the fish he caught in a few days might not be enough to make up for the money he earned. Even if he made money, he wouldn't make much. Needless to say, Zhao Dahai's express delivery, as Ding Chongshan just said, could catch so many fish. Other speedboats really couldn't catch many fish. This was what he saw with his own eyes recently. The difference was too great.
"Ding Dawen."
"You can't make a living by fishing!"
"You don't have the skills to do it. Your personality doesn't allow you to do it!"
"You run a good fishing boat. Don't think about anything else in your life. Just work with Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang."
"You make a lot of money, but there's no pressure."
"You sell the fish you catch on this fishing boat. You can definitely make two or three thousand yuan a month."
"If you calculate it this way, many people who go out to sea to fish or those who go out to sea to fish can't compare to your income."
"This job is easy."
"Besides."
"I heard that your girlfriend Ma Baozhu is now working with Ding Xiaoxiang on the fish raft. ”
“Wait for two years, when you two get married and have a baby, won’t you be able to live a good life?”
“Everyone like Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, and even Liu Lei makes a lot of money, but you have to look at their character and see how hard they work.”
“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou make a lot of money following Zhao Dahai, but they still have to work hard.”
Lin Zuhua didn’t know if Ding Dawen said this because he wanted to go fishing with Zhao Dahai. Although the salary of driving a fishing boat is good, it is definitely not comparable to that of Zhong Shizhu. Ding Dawen looks at Zhong Shizhu and others making a lot of money following Zhao Dahai every day, so it is normal for him to have some thoughts in his mind.
He and Ding Dawen are indeed not related, but he has a very good relationship with Ding Dawen’s uncle Ding Chongshan. From this point of view, he can be regarded as Ding Dawen’s elder.
It’s okay to say a few more words about such things.
"Boss Lin."
"I never thought about going fishing with Zhao Dahai."
"It's just that you just said that my personality can't see this kind of thing."
"When I think about going fishing at four or five in the morning, my scalp is a little numb. I might not be able to sleep all night."
"This job is very good for me now."
"One is that the salary is good, and the other is that I can catch some fish and sell them when I have time, which is another income. Another is that the pressure is really not great."
"I don't have too many ideas. I just want to have a stable income. In addition, Ma Baozhu is now working with Ding Xiaoxiang, which is another stable income."
"If two people are together, this income is considered very good in our town."
Ding Dawen shook his head a little embarrassedly. He really didn't think about going fishing with Zhao Dahai. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did make more money, even ten times more than himself, but it depends on whether he can do such a job. If not, it's useless to say anything.
Lin Zuhua caught seven or eight sea bass, and his hands were a little sore, so he simply stopped fishing. He looked at the several rods clamped beside him, and there was no movement at all.
"I wonder if there will be mackerel today?"
Lin Zuhua asked Ding Dawen. He had just checked not long ago, and all the fish on the hooks were alive.
Lin Zuhua remembered that Zhao Dahai said that when fishing, you can't stay in one place all the time, you have to let it go farther or pull it closer, so that you have more chances to catch fish.
Lin Zuhua picked up a rod. This is the farthest he has let go, about 300 meters, and there has been no fish biting the hook for a whole night.
Three hundred meters is already very far. If there is no fish biting the hook, there is no need to continue to let it go farther. Reel in some red and let it go to about 250 meters. Wait and see if there is any fish. If not, continue to reel in the line and let it go to 200 meters after about an hour.
Lin Zuhua shook the spinning wheel to reel in the line. He just reeled in less than 20 meters and a fish bit the hook.
Lin Zuhua was startled, but reacted very quickly and continued to reel in the fish.
Ding Dawen, look at this, he didn't even catch the sea bass, and immediately ran over with a landing net.
"Boss Lin."
"How big is this fish? Is it big?"
Ding Dawen couldn't wait to ask.
"Hey!"
"It should be a mackerel, but this mackerel is definitely not very big, probably only about 30 or 40 kilograms."
Lin Zuhua thought the size of the fish was good at first, but after pulling for a while, he shook his head in disappointment. It was very likely that it was indeed a mackerel, but this mackerel was really not big, no more than 40 kilograms.
Lin Zuhua didn't spend too much effort, and it didn't take too long, and the fish was pulled to the side of the fishing boat.
"Hey!"
"There are really a lot of mackerels in this place, but it seems that it is really difficult to catch a big one!"
Lin Zuhua saw Ding Dawen catch the fish with a large scoop net, opened the spool and loosened the line, shaking his head.
He did catch a fish, but the size of the fish was really not good.
In the past few days, whether it was himself or Ding Chongshan and Ding Dawen, they all caught a lot of mackerels in this place, and two of them were very big, proving that there are really a lot of mackerels in this place. As long as you graze here and guard it, you will have a chance to catch fish.
If Ding Chongshan and Ding Dawen hadn't caught those two big mackerels, they would have been very happy to catch such a big mackerel.
But his goal here was to catch a mackerel that was over 100 kilograms, and he really didn't care about this kind of mackerel that was about 40 kilograms.
"Boss Lin."
"If there are big ones, there will be small ones, right? There's no need to rush. There's plenty of time. Just wait here slowly. One day you'll be able to get it!"
Ding Dawen carried the mackerel onto the deck of the fishing boat and slammed it hard on the deck without any hesitation.
Mackerels are relatively large and struggle very hard. Don't even think about keeping such fish alive. As long as they leave the water and are caught, they are basically dead.
But mackerels won't die immediately. If they struggle very hard, it's dangerous to unhook them. If they can't be kept alive, just knock them unconscious and unhook them.
Ding Dawen took a pair of pliers to remove the hook. The teeth of mackerels are very closed. Even if they don't struggle much now, you have to be careful and never reach in. Otherwise, you'll get yourself into trouble. No one can say for sure whether the fish will bite you suddenly.
Ding Dawen was very careful with the pliers in his hand, and hit the head of the mackerel twice before he started to remove the hook.
"Ding Dawen!"
"Let's eat this mackerel for lunch?"
"Let's have a fried mackerel!"
"The mackerel just caught must be very good!"
Lin Zuhua couldn't help but drool as he spoke.
People who fish, people who live by the sea, or people who like to eat seafood know that the big mackerel weighing dozens of kilograms is really delicious when fried.
"Okay!"
"For lunch, we'll mainly eat pan-fried mackerel. Another thing is that we just caught these fresh sea bass. Let's make soup with two of them, and stir-fry some meat and vegetables or something!"
Ding Dawen smiled and nodded. The pan-fried mackerel was really good. The size of this mackerel was not very big, but it was definitely not small. The thickest part was as thick as a person's thigh. It was very delicious when cut into slices and pan-fried. This was definitely not a joke.
Ding Dawen carried the big mackerel and picked two sea bass of medium size and walked to the kitchen together. The meal had to be arranged first.
