Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 546 On the impact of weather on crab pots?
  Five in the morning.

At the eastern end of the sea, a line of white is revealed.

Zhao Dahai looked at the empty deck, turned the bow of the fishing boat, and drove in the direction of the fishing boat. When he returned, it was already noon, almost eleven o'clock.

Zhao Dahai lowered the anchor, parked the fishing boat, and Shi Jiehua and others returned to the fishing boat.

When Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming saw Zhao Dahai and others coming back, they immediately carried a pot of ginger soup and waited until they were finished before taking out the food. The sea breeze was a bit strong, so they were not on the deck. They all stayed in the cab.

"This is really God helping me!"

Zhong Shizhu drank two large bowls of ginger soup in one breath, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It started to get a little bit louder around three in the morning, and the wind and waves were a bit strong.

Such weather is very dangerous for speedboats that want to go fishing on artificial islands and reefs. Even if the wind and waves are not big at places like the village pier, as long as those speedboats go out to sea, the closer they get to the artificial islands and reefs, the more dangerous they will be. I found that the weather had changed, so I had to retreat and go back home. It was unlikely that anyone would find the crab pots placed in the sea.

"Ok!"

"That's right!"

Zhao Dahai took a piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's windy now, but it's not particularly strong, at level [-] or [-], but the waves on the sea are almost one meter.

Waves of such height are really a challenge for speedboats. It’s not that you can’t catch fish in such waves, but the artificial islands and reefs are very far from the shore. If something happens or the weather changes more drastically, ,very dangerous.

Making money is important, but no one really plays with their own lives.

His own sea fishing boats, including the fishing boat prepared by Shi Jiehua, which is specially designed to hold crab pots and pull crab pots, are not small. Not to mention winds and waves of level [-] or [-], even winds and waves of level [-] or [-] are not afraid.

"Zhao Dahai"

"When did you go to pull the crab pot?"

Wu Weimin took a sip of fish soup. He and Gao Zhicheng did not work last night. They were just watching the excitement at first. By three or four in the morning, they couldn't hold it anymore and ran to the cabin of the fishing boat to sleep.

"Didn't you say that the time shouldn't be too long? Isn't it to avoid being discovered by others?"

"You have to pull the crab pot at night, right?"

Gao Zhicheng remembered that Zhao Dahai said that crab pots should not be placed in the sea for too long, so today they would have to pull out crab pots.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He really wanted to pull the crab pot today, but his plan couldn't keep up with the change.

One is that the time to set up the crab pots is a little longer than I thought, and the other is the weather changes in the artificial islands and reefs. The wind and waves are a bit strong, and other speedboats may appear.

Zhao Dahai discussed with Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming and decided to wait until tomorrow morning to pull the crab pots, so that there would be enough time for the winter crabs on the seabed to crawl into the crab pots.

Zhao Dahai, Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhongwei and Zhong Shizhu finished their meal quickly and went to bed immediately without wasting time. One of them was very tired from keeping crab pots all night, and they had to pull out crab pots early tomorrow morning. It is a more physically demanding job, so sleep more when you have time.

eight pm.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Xu Yuanjiang and Lin Zuhua were in the cab of the fishing boat, each holding a cigarette in their hands. Plus Zhao Shi and Shi Wenming were smoking hookahs, and there was a mist.

"Zhao Dahai and the others can sleep well, right?"

Gao Zhicheng stood up and opened a window. The wind blew in and all the smoke disappeared.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin, Shi Jiehua, and Shi Zhong finished their meal at noon and went back to the cabin to sleep. At about seven o'clock in the evening, they woke up to eat, and then went to bed again.

"People who work at sea are like this."

"This is because you are tired because of the work you have to do. Otherwise, you will have no energy or energy when it comes time to work."

Shi Guangming patted his knees.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu have been fishing for nearly twenty days recently. They have been fishing like this non-stop. They are very tired from running back and forth. They should rest as much as possible while working. Pulling crab pots tomorrow will be another very physically demanding job. , now I must seize the time and sleep as much as I can.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yunjiang didn't have to work so they could stay here or they didn't plan to go to sleep.

"Uncle Zhao!"

"Uncle Shi!"

"Is the weather good or bad?"

Lin Zuhua pointed to the sea outside the fishing boat. There were no big winds and waves, just small winds and waves. He didn't know what impact it would have on catching winter crabs.

"Hehehe!"

"It's impossible to say for sure!"

Shi Guangming shook his head.

No matter what the weather is like, it will have an impact on the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea.

Generally speaking, if the weather is stable, the conditions of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea will be very stable. Once there is a change, it will affect the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea.

It may be good, it may be bad, and most of the time it is bad.

Don't look at the weather like this. The number of speedboats or other fishing boats coming to the artificial islands has been greatly reduced. There will not even be such speedboats and fishing boats. This is a good thing, but it may be affected by the weather. , not many winter crabs can be caught.

Lin Zuhua, Xu Yuanjiang, Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng all frowned.

Shi Guangming's words were not clear, but it was not a good thing to hear.

"No way?"

"What can we do?"

……

"Hey!"

"With so many crab pots, you won't be able to catch a few winter crabs, right?"

……

"It's all in vain!"

……

"It's over!"

"Choose to catch some winter crabs and go back to eat them during the Chinese New Year. It doesn't look like there is much hope now!"

……

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yunjiang, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, and they became very anxious.

"Humph!"

"Old man Shi!"

"Can't you speak more clearly? How do you, a man who drives a fishing boat, know anything about fishing?"

Zhao Shi glared at Shi Guangming.

"what?"

"Uncle Zhao!"

"Is it possible to say it's not like this?"

……

"Yo!"

"Uncle Shi." "You are a fishing boat operator. You must be an expert when it comes to fishing, but when it comes to fishing, you can't compare with Uncle Zhao!"

……

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang were refreshed.

Shi Guangming has always driven fishing boats to take others out to sea for fishing, and he always travels to the South China Sea. He is very familiar with fishing spots and locations in places like this, but when it comes to fishing, he is really not as good as this old fisherman. .

Shi Guangming blushed and couldn't refute. When it came to fishing, he was really no match for Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi took a sip of water and pointed at the sea outside the fishing boat.

The weather has indeed changed now, with wind and waves. The weather will have an impact on catching fish, shrimps and crabs, but the impact may be large or small.

Setting out fishing nets, especially those used to catch shrimps and crabs, will be greatly affected. After all, the wind and waves on the sea are a bit strong now. If nothing else, the fishing nets may be washed away by the sea water and go somewhere. , or get entangled together, no matter which way the fishing effect will be greatly reduced.

But such wind and waves have very little impact on the seabed.

"The seawater on the artificial islands exceeds [-] meters, and even reaches [-] or [-] meters in some places."

"Our crab pots are placed on the bottom of the sea. Just think about it and know how much impact such wind and waves have on the bottom of the sea?"

Zhao Shi glanced at Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yunjiang while smoking.

"Yo!"

"Isn't this the truth?"

……

"If the water depth is more than ten meters, such wind and waves will definitely have an impact, but if the water depth exceeds [-] meters, the impact will not be too great."

……

"what!"

"How did we forget this?"

……

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang breathed a sigh of relief. After many years of fishing, this is basic common sense. If I have to say it, it must have some impact, but let alone a hundred meters, even fifty meters will already have an impact. Not too big.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stayed in the cab of the fishing boat, talking and smoking hookah without saying a word.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang said they didn't want to go to bed, but they couldn't bear it and were already sleeping soundly in the cabin.

Zhao Shi looked at the hanging clock and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning. He stood up and walked to the glass window of the cab. He glanced at the sea outside. With the help of the light, there was no big change in the wind and waves. It's almost the same during the day.

"We have to go call Zhao Dahai and the others to get up!"

"If you want to eat something, you have to go out and pull the crab pot!"

Zhao Shi looked at Shi Guangming.

"Row!"

"I'm going to call them now!"

Shi Guangming stood up, turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Zhao Shi went to the kitchen. He had cooked the rice two hours ago and prepared it for Zhao Dahai and the others to eat when they got up.

Five in the morning.

Zhao Dahai and others finished breakfast and walked out of the cabin onto the deck.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"The weather is fine!"

Shi Jiehua took a look at the wind and waves on the sea. The waves were about one meter, and there was a little wind, but it was not particularly strong. Some fishing boats would definitely be affected, but the fishing boats used when pulling crab pots were larger, and the impact was not affected. No.

"Do you want to follow your speedboat out?"

Shi Jiehua pointed to the large speedboat parked next to the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while and shook his head.

If the weather is good, you are not allowed to drive out. Now that the weather is not good, you have to find a place to park when you go out, and you have to drive a fishing boat.

The speedboat can't play any role. It's impossible for two people to pull crab pots on top of the speedboat.

"Boss Wu!"

"The weather is not very good! How about you guys rest on the fishing boat for a while?"

Zhao Dahai saw Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang yawning and walking out of the cabin, looking like they were not awake.

The current wind and waves are not big, so it will not have much impact on the fishing boat pulling crab pots. However, in any case, the weather is relatively cold in winter, and it is still very uncomfortable when there are wind and waves.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang are all different from Shi Zhongwei, so they don't have to work. In such weather, it would be great to hide in the cabin and sleep, or get something delicious to eat and drink.

Once you go out to sea, if a wave hits or a sea breeze blows, your clothes will get wet. It will be wet, extremely cold, and very uncomfortable.

"Yo!"

"How does this work? We have been waiting for several days for this crab pot. We must not miss it!"

Wu Weimin shook his head immediately without thinking. He and Gao Zhicheng had been waiting to see if there were any winter crabs in the sea and how many winter crabs there were.

"Don't say it's just a little storm, even if there is a knife from the sky, we have to go!"

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he stamped his feet and rubbed his hands. It was really a bit cold in this early morning weather.

Zhao Dahai saw that Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Xu Yuanjiang were determined to go out to sea. He didn't say anything and asked. He had already finished breakfast and it was almost time. With the current wind and waves, it felt like the artificial islands would have to be After spending a lot of time, I packed up my things, checked that there were no problems, and all went on the fishing boat to catch crabs.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stood on the deck of the fishing boat. Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat farther and farther away.

"I want you to go out to sea with Zhao Dahai and the others. Why do you have to stay here? Do you mean that I can't stand this fishing boat alone?"

Zhao Shi wiped the sea water splashing on his face.

Shi Guangming really wanted to know immediately whether Zhao Dahai and his fishing boat had caught a lot of winter crabs. Gang had been shouting for him to follow Zhao Dahai out to sea. He had to say no, he had to stay here to accompany him.

"What are you going out with? It's just to see how many winter crabs are caught. Can't we wait for the fishing boat to come back to see them?"

"Isn't it true that these winter crabs can fly into the sky?"

"Hey!"

"The weather right now is really a bit uncomfortable for us old bones!"

“The fishing boat can’t control so much when it’s pulling crab pots!”

“The waves are up and down, my knees can’t stand it!”

Shi Guangming patted his knees hard.

People who go fishing at sea, especially those who have been operating fishing boats at sea for many years, will feel very uncomfortable when they are affected by rheumatism as they get older.

Shi Guangming has been operating a fishing boat on this sea for thirty years. After years of enduring all kinds of sea winds and sea water, his feet and knees are inevitably a little rheumatism.

It's no problem when the weather is nice, but the weather has been a bit cold these past few days, which makes me feel a little sore and uncomfortable.

Shi Guangming looked up at the sky. Even though it was not bright yet, it was a bit gloomy and it might rain soon.
