Chapter 211 The Tacit Understanding Between Mother and Daughter! Ding Chongshan Who Was in the Dark!

Zhao Dahai drove his tricycle and turned the corner. He let out a sigh of relief. He was really nervous when he saw Zhang Li. He calmed down and went directly to the fishing tackle shop.

These two trips to the open sea consumed a lot of string hooks, and the types of string hooks were not enough. The hook doors on my hands were too small. The fish in the outer sea are different from those in the inland sea. They are generally larger in size, such as black sea bream. To put it bluntly, it is more difficult to catch black sea bream weighing one, two or three catties in the inland sea. Generally speaking, half a catty is very good. Black sea bream weighing one catty in the outer sea is considered small. Two or three catties are relatively small. It is common, even weighing five or six kilograms. You need to prepare larger string hooks. In addition, it is easy to hang on the bottom in the open sea. You must prepare more string hooks, lead pendants and even hooks. In addition, you should specially choose some large ones with very high strength. Hook, specially designed to catch big grouper or other big fish.

Zhao Dahai bought a lot of things in one go, spending almost two thousand yuan. It is true that fishing in the sea makes money, but the cost is also higher.

Zhao Dahai left the fishing tackle shop and went to the market to buy some food, especially pork. Now there is a refrigerator at home, and he bought almost fifty kilograms, including ribs or pork belly, etc. He often goes out to sea to fish, and now he travels to the sea and is at home. There is relatively little time, especially when you are not at home at noon, so you need to prepare more meat. Zhong Cuihua can just defrost and cook it when she wants to eat it.

Zhao Dahai bought all the things and drove his tricycle back to the village.

The town fish market. The morning market is very lively, with people coming and going, all coming to buy fish, shrimp and crabs.

"This big brother!"

“Today’s orchid crab was good!”

"Only forty-five yuan a pound!"

…

"Sister."

"Would you like the mud fish? Pan-fried or steamed with tangerine peel."

…

Ding Xiaoxiang greeted her business and glanced at her mother from time to time, murmuring in her heart. Today I was supposed to deliver the fish to Liu Gang's place, but something happened, so I went to deliver it myself. She didn't say anything when she came back. She was doing the same business but something wasn't right. It usually took half an hour to get back, but today it took a full hour.

Could it be that he happened to meet Zhao Dahai?

Ding Xiaoxiang was startled and immediately frowned. Zhao Dahai often went to Liu Gang's place to sell fish. It was normal for my mother to meet Zhao Dahai today.

What did you say?

Wouldn't he scold Zhao Dahai harshly?

This is how to do?

Ding Xiaoxiang was very anxious, but she didn't dare to ask Zhang Li. When she did, she confirmed that she often met Zhao Dahai.

Nothing can be asked.

Pretend nothing happened.

Ding Xiaoxiang collected herself, tried to calm down, and continued selling fish.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The fish market gradually became deserted, and everyone who bought vegetables in the morning had already gone back.

Ding Xiaoxiang quickly cleaned up the stall. Of the nearly 500 kilograms of various fish, shrimps, and crabs she brought over in the morning, only less than ten kilograms were left. Business was very good.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and endured it all morning. Now she had to ask carefully.

"Xiaoxiang."

"When I sent the fish to Liu Gang's place in the morning, I happened to meet Zhao Dahai."

Zhang Li spoke directly.

"ah!"

"Does Zhao Dahai often go to Liu Gang's place to sell fish? It's normal to run into him. I ran into him last time."

Ding Xiaoxiang was mentally prepared and very calm. She really met her. She sent fish yesterday and the day before, but she didn't meet her. If she had known that she would send fish today no matter what, now she not only missed an opportunity to meet, What's more important is that I don't know what my mother said to Zhao Dahai.

"Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea. Do you know about this?"

Zhang Li washed her hands as she spoke and picked up the water glass. The business was so good that she couldn't stop at all. Only now did she have time to drink water.

"ah?"

"How could I know this? I just met Liu Gang selling fish at the restaurant. I didn't say a few words and just said hello."

Ding Xiaoxiang opened her eyes and told lies. How could I not know that Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea? It was still my idea, but I absolutely could not admit it. Once I admitted it, I would find that I and Zhao Dahai secretly met.

Zhang Li held back all the words that she was full of. Ding Xiaoxiang refused to admit it. She really had no choice. She was a little depressed and a little angry, but she couldn't get angry. She took a deep breath and calmed down her mood for a while.

"Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea and the harvest was very good."

"A large black sea bream weighing more than 80 kilograms, plus a sesame spot. The key is a red spot weighing more than 10 kilograms."

Zhang Li said while observing the expression on Ding Xiaoxiang's face.

"No way?"

"Is Zhao Dahai so powerful? Is it so profitable to go fishing in the open sea?"

"mom!"

"These fish together can be sold for 20,000 yuan, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang's face showed just the right amount of surprise.

Zhang Li had no idea at all. Ding Xiaoxiang was the quickest to calculate the accounts and knew how much money Zhao Dahai had earned.

"snort!"

"It's not necessarily profitable to go fishing in the open sea. If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to save your pants. The cost of each trip to sea is very high."

"If you don't have your own speedboat, you have to take someone else's speedboat. The boat fare is 2,000 yuan per person. If you go farther, it will even cost 3,000 yuan."

“How many fish do you have to catch to make enough money back?!”

Zhang Li knows the market very well. Fishing in the open sea is not 100% guaranteed to make money. It is very rare for Zhao Dahai to earn more than 20,000 yuan from a trip like this.

"Ah?!"

"Is the cost so high?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was shocked. She really didn't know that it would cost so much to go fishing in someone else's speedboat for a day.

"Do you think it's only two or three hundred yuan? How is that possible? The speedboat for fishing in the open sea has to travel one or two hundred miles a day!"

Zhang Li heard Ding Chongshan say these things. Fishing in the open sea requires constantly changing spots. The distance between fishing spots is very far. The gasoline engine basically never stops in a day. Just gasoline has to burn two or three hundred liters, and the cost is very high.

"From this point of view, Zhao Dahai is really amazing!"

Ding Xiaoxiang now understands that fishing in the open sea is not as simple as she thought, which further proves that Zhao Dahai is very amazing.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes with little stars in admiration, and regretted that she shouldn't have said this. Girls of this age admire capable men the most. Such things will deepen Ding Xiaoxiang's affection for Zhao Dahai, but she has already said it and can't take it back.

"That's right!"

"Did Zhao Dahai catch a yellow croaker weighing more than 10 jin?"

Zhang Li remembered this incident. She wanted to ask Zhao Dahai when she saw him in front of Liu Gang's restaurant, but she held back.

"Ah?"

"A yellow croaker weighing more than 10 jin?"

"No way?"

"Mom!"

"Are you sure you're talking about a yellow croaker and not some other fish?"

Ding Xiaoxiang's face showed a very shocked expression, but she was a little proud in her heart. This was really caught by Zhao Dahai. The key point was that she saw the fish, which was really very big.

"That's right!"

"Mom!"

"If there is really such a big yellow croaker, how much can it be sold for?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very curious about how much Zhao Dahai could sell this yellow croaker for.

"At least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and at most 300,000 or 500,000 yuan!"

Zhang Li pondered for a while. The price of yellow croaker, especially the one with a size of more than 10 jin, fluctuates greatly. If you meet a rich boss, you can get any price. If you sell it to a fishmonger, or if you are stupid and don't know the market price, you can't sell it at a good price, which makes the buyer cheap.

Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes widened. She knew that yellow croaker was valuable, but she didn't know it was so valuable. She immediately thought of Zhao Dahai's desire to buy a big speedboat, and this fish was enough.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and sighed in her heart. There must be something hidden from her. She knew that her daughter was very smart and had already thought about how to answer her. It was useless to ask her any questions. She was at this age and knew what was going on. Girls tend to be outgoing when they grow up, so there was no good way.

"Hmph!"

"So what?"

"No matter what, I am Ding Xiaoxiang's mother!"

"Zhao Dahai has millions of ideas, but they all have to pass this test!"

"If he really comes to my house one day, I won't give him a good face!"

Zhang Li secretly swore that if Zhao Dahai really came to my house one day, she must show her face. Whether she agrees with this matter or not is up to her.

Ding Xiaoxiang wanted to know what her mother said when she saw Zhao Dahai in the morning, but she couldn't ask now. If she asked, she would be exposed. She could only keep it in her heart and wait until the next time she saw Zhao Dahai to ask.

Zhao Dahai returned to Langtou Village and saw the gate of the yard opened from a distance. Someone came to his house. He turned the accelerator and the speed of the tricycle suddenly increased. He drove to the gate of the yard and looked inside. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were waiting for him.

Zhao Dahai parked the tricycle, took down all the things he bought, walked into the yard and placed them in the corner, washed his hands, and pulled a stool to sit down.

"What's wrong?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Dahai asked Zhong Shizhu and the others what they wanted to see him about.

Zhong Shizhu said that there were a lot of orchid crabs in the sea recently.

Zhao Dahai's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the orchid crabs that Zhang Li sent to Liu Gang's restaurant just now. They were all good-sized.

"Are you planning to go out to sea to catch orchid crabs?"

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Yes! We are indeed planning to catch orchid crabs."

...

"Zhao Dahai."

"We wanted to see if you are interested in taking us out to sea to make a fortune."

...

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought that if Zhao Dahai could go out to sea together, there would be a good harvest.

Zhao Dahai originally wanted to continue to go out to sea tomorrow, but after thinking for a while, he changed his mind and nodded.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin saw that Zhao Dahai agreed, chatted for a while, and agreed to go out to sea at the pier at 3:30 tomorrow morning.

"Didn't you say we'll continue to go offshore tomorrow? Catching orchid crabs isn't as profitable as the fish you caught."

Zhong Cuihua couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai changed his mind.

"Grandma!"

"You can't have such good luck every day when you go offshore. Today when I was selling fish, I saw someone sent a lot of orchid crabs to Liu Gang's restaurant. The season has really arrived, and the price is really good."

"Besides, Zhong Shizhu and his men came to my house, so I must go out. I've never caught orchid crabs before, so learning from them will only benefit me."

Zhao Dahai knew that catching orchid crabs was not as profitable as his two trips to the open sea for fishing, but going to the open sea was not necessarily so profitable every time. On the contrary, it was the season for orchid crabs. You could catch as many as you wanted when you went out to sea, and you would definitely make money. The only difference was how much you could make. He had never caught orchid crabs before. He would definitely learn a lot from following Zhong Shizhu and the others. He might have a chance to catch orchid crabs alone. There was a big difference between having experience and not having experience.

Zhong Cuihua didn't say anything more. What she said made sense.

Zhao Dahai had a good rest after lunch. In the afternoon, he went to Zhong Shizhu's house and helped to organize the crab nets for catching orchid crabs, and put them on the fishing boat. After dinner at six or seven o'clock, he walked around with his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and went to bed early.

Dashi Village.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Ding Xiaoxiang's home.

Ding Chongshan, Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang were having dinner. Business people could only eat after they were done with their work, and the time was usually very late.

"We're going to Liu Gang's restaurant to deliver orchid crabs today. He wants more."

"Five hundred kilograms."

"I've offered a price of one hundred and thirty-five yuan per kilogram. What do you think? Can we deliver more to Liu Gang's restaurant tomorrow?"

Zhang Li talked about Liu Gang's request for five hundred kilograms of orchid crabs while eating.

Ding Chongshan thought about it and nodded. The price offered by Liu Gang was not too high. It might even be a bit higher if sold to other people. However, considering the long-term cooperation, it's better to deliver more. Doing business can't just focus on making the most money every time. It's not about selling to whoever offers the highest price.

"By the way."

"What about the big blue spot? Did you find out who caught it? Is it really as big as one hundred kilograms?"

Zhang Li remembered that she promised Liu Gang that she would find out about this matter.

"Ah?"

"Mom!"

"What are you talking about? How could someone catch such a big blue grouper?"

"Fifty or sixty kilograms is already a big deal!"

Ding Xiaoxiang interrupted Zhang Li as soon as she heard what she said. Zhao Dahai had caught a blue grouper of fifty or sixty kilograms, which was already a big deal. When she heard that there was a bigger one, she immediately didn't believe it. How could someone be better than Zhao Dahai?

"Hey!"

"That's what you said. Now, isn't it time to ask what news your father got?"

Zhang Li turned her head and looked at Ding Xiaoxiang. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"There are all kinds of fish in this sea!"

"Don't even mention a blue grouper of a hundred kilograms. There are even bigger ones. When I was a kid, a deep-sea fishing boat caught a blue grouper of a hundred and twenty or thirty kilograms."

Ding Chongshan smiled. Blue groupers of over a hundred kilograms are indeed rare, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

"Ah?"

"You mean this is true? Did the big bluefish at the dock of Paiwan Village really weigh over 100 jin?"

Zhang Li was very surprised and asked immediately.

"There was indeed a big bluefish at the dock of Paiwan Village, but it was not weighed there. I asked the boss of the speedboat and he said it was definitely over 100 jin."

"Not only was it over 100 jin, but it was caught by fishing."

"The key is that it was not caught by electric reel, but by hand cranking. It's really amazing!"

Ding Chongshan got the details.

"Dad!"

"Isn't this too exaggerated? How could someone catch such a big fish? It's 100 jin, not 10 jin!"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head and didn't believe it at all.

"Ah?!"

"The news is true!"

"Who caught this fish? Do you know which village it is from?"

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang again, and the thought that something was wrong just now became stronger.

"From Langtou Village!"

"It's a man named Zhao Dahai!"

"I heard that he caught such a big fish the first time he followed Chen Wenjiang from Paiwan Village on a speedboat to the open sea."

"This man named Zhao Dahai is really amazing. This is not an easy thing."

Ding Chongshan likes fishing very much, but he doesn't have much time to go out to sea because of his business. He knows very well how difficult it is to catch such a big blue spot with a hand-cranked spinning wheel.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that it was Zhao Dahai who caught the big blue spot.

Ding Xiaoxiang felt a little guilty when she heard that it was Zhao Dahai who caught it. She looked at Zhang Li, stopped talking, and lowered her head to eat.

"Wow!"

"Zhao Dahai is so amazing, he can catch such a big grouper?!"

"Hey!"

"I thought it was someone else's? Others definitely don't have the ability to catch such a big fish!"

"Zhao Dahai is different. If he can catch a fish weighing 50 or 60 kilograms, he can definitely catch a fish weighing 100 kilograms!"

Ding Xiaoxiang kept muttering to herself while eating, thinking that the next time she saw Zhao Dahai, she must ask him how he caught such a big grouper. A fish weighing 100 kilograms is heavier than herself.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, who was eating with her head down and not talking anymore, and suddenly realized why she had been saying that it was impossible for anyone to catch such a big fish. It was obvious that she thought it was impossible for anyone to be better than Zhao Dahai. Now that she heard that the person who caught the 100-jin big grouper was Zhao Dahai, she stopped talking all of a sudden. She must have thought that if others couldn't do it, Zhao Dahai would definitely be able to do it.

"It's a pity that this fish has been sold!"

...

"I heard that it is in the hands of a man named Wu Weimin."

...

"A boss has already made a reservation and has released the news to treat everyone to a meal. The main dish is a big blue grouper weighing more than 100 kilograms."

...

Ding Chongshan felt it was a pity. There were many bosses who asked him to find out the news and wanted to buy this fish. He received the news too late, and the fish had already been bought by someone else.

Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang pretended to know Zhao Dahai very tacitly.

It was three o'clock in the morning.

Zhong Dahai walked to the dock and saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were already on the fishing boat. He said hello, prepared, and immediately left the dock to go out to sea to catch orchid crabs.

I wonder what kind of harvest will be today?

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat behind Zhong Shizhu. The sea breeze was a bit cold, but he suddenly became energetic. Looking at the dark sea, he couldn't help but look forward to today's harvest.

Thank you for your support! Thank you very much! The results far exceeded my expectations.
