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

Chapter 15 Cutting Dianthus

Zhao Dahai walked into the yard, and Zhong Cuihua was sitting in the main room weaving fishing nets. The weather was fine today, and the sun was not too high. The fishing nets were moved under the trees in the yard. While weaving the fishing nets, they basked in the sun, replenished calcium, and maintained good health.

Zhao Dahai poured a bowl of water and put it on the ground next to the stool where Zhong Cuihua was sitting. He took a hatchet from the kitchen and walked out the door of the yard to the vegetable field behind the house.The water just poured in the morning, not long after the sun rises, is moist and dark. If you look carefully, you can see a little bit of bright yellow indistinctly from the sprinkled vegetable seeds.

Zhao Dahai was very happy. It would take a few days to grow into small vegetable seedlings. There were a lot of cats and dogs in the village, especially chickens and ducks. If you can go into the mangrove forest, hurry up in the morning to cut some bamboo and use it to surround the vegetable field.

Zhao Dahai took the hatchet and walked to the back mountain behind the village. After a while, he saw a large bamboo forest. When the ancestors of the village came, these bamboos were already here. Anyone who uses it can cut it.

There are many kinds of bamboo.The common ones are moso bamboo and palm bamboo.

The bamboo that grows in the back mountain is neither moso bamboo nor palm bamboo. I don’t know its real name, but people in the village call it carnation.The characteristic is that it can grow very long and even grow to a dozen or 20 meters.The diameter can reach fifteen to twenty centimeters.The bamboo wall is very thick and hard, and if it grows for many years, it will be relatively thick. When there were no wooden fishing boats 30 or [-] years ago, carnations were used to make fish and discharge them into the sea for fishing.

Zhao Dahai went around in the bamboo forest and picked out the bamboos to be chopped. There were a dozen bamboos as thick as an arm, plus dozens of bamboos as thick as fingers.

Zhao Dahai rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of a carnation as thick as an arm. The hatchet in his hand was raised at a 45-degree angle and ruthlessly chopped at the root of the carnation next to the ground.

"when!"

Zhao Dahai shook his head.Don't look at this carnation as thick as an arm, it is very hard and tough, and the kitchen knife slashed on it so hard that it bounced off, leaving a hole less than half a centimeter deep.Brute force is not enough to cut such a bamboo, so no longer use too much strength, one knife after another, and it takes about ten cuts to get one.

The sun slowly rises.

The inside of the bamboo forest began to become hot and stuffy.

Zhao Dahai was sweating profusely.Only about a dozen dianthus as thick as an arm were cut in about an hour. After resting for a few minutes, I wiped off my sweat and continued to chop with a hatchet. Bamboos as thick as fingers are easier. Two knives are used for one piece, and it took more than an hour to chop. Dozens.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sun in the sky, it had already risen high, time was very tight, he didn't care about rest, and immediately began to sell the bamboo shoots and leaves of the chopped bamboo, tied them up and carried them to the edge of the vegetable field, just after they were cut The bamboo had to be dried in the sun to tie the fence. This amount of bamboo was far from enough. I wanted to continue cutting. When I saw the sun rising to the center of the sky, it was already twelve o’clock, and I had to enter the mangrove forest at three o’clock in the afternoon. I had to release it first to make money. important.

Zhao Dahai walked into the yard with a hatchet in his hand. Grandma Zhong Cuihua didn't weave a fishing net. She saw the kitchen, where she was cooking, and walked over immediately.

"grandmother."

"I chopped some bamboo."

"I have to chop a little when I find time these days, and surround our vegetable field in a few days."

"If the vegetable seedlings grow out of nowhere to feed the chickens and ducks, the cats and dogs will all be wasted."

"After dinner, I will rest for a while. I will go around the mangrove again. See if I can catch some blue crabs."

Zhao Dahai washed the pot clean.The rice has been cooked, and it is ready to eat.The pickled bacon was hanging on the stove.When cooking every day, the fireworks have to be smoked.One is that it tastes better, and more importantly, it can be stored for a long time without deterioration.I took a knife and cut half the palm of my hand, then cut it into slices. I grabbed a handful of half-dried mud snail meat and sea melon seeds on the dustpan at the door, washed it with water, and put a little oil on it. Put the salted pork belly in and fry it for a few times, then put the mud snail meat and sea melon seed meat together and fry them together, add some water to boil, the salted pork has already tasted, no need to add salt, just drop a few drops of soy sauce, keep A little juice, put on a plate.

"Row."

"Catch more blue crabs to make more money."

"Don't run too far and watch the tide."

Zhong Cuihua put out the fire in the stove.The fishing boats have not been repaired, and if you want to make money, you have to go to places like mangroves.

Zhao Dahai packed two bowls of rice and served the dishes. The yard was so hot that he couldn't stay there, so he could only eat in the hall. As I ate, I thought that it would be more perfect to have green vegetables, and I looked forward to an early harvest in the vegetable field behind the house.

Two in the afternoon.

The sun is big and poisonous.

With a shoulder pole, several net bags, and wearing Jiefang shoes, Zhao Dahai strode towards the mangrove forest at the west end of the village.

"The sea."

"Where are you going?"

……

"Yo!"

"Going to sea?"

……

"Picking mud snails and sea melon seeds?"

"What's so delicious about this thing?"

……

Zhao Dahai rubbed his nose and quickened his pace. When he met seven or eight people, they all greeted each other and talked a little bit. Hearing that he went to touch the mud snails and sea melon seeds, he didn't take it seriously. He felt a little funny in his heart. Traveling to Chencang secretly, no one thought that they were digging blue crabs.

"The sea!"

Zhao Dahai walked to the pier of the village, turned around and was about to go west, when he heard a loud noise, he turned his head and saw a fishing boat was charging towards him, and he was waving.

"Uncle Liu."

"Are you new?"

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Dahai went to the pier and walked to Liu Bin's boat.

"Ha ha!"

"Isn't there a land next to our two mountains?"

"Last year, I planted some fruit trees at home. My mother-in-law has no brains. Some trees have been planted in your field. I went up and looked around yesterday and found out."

Liu Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My aunt was married from another village, so it's normal if I remember wrongly and can't tell the difference."

Zhao Dahai smiled.

"These two days are too busy. I will go up the mountain again sometime and dig that tree."

"I happened to meet here today, so I'll tell you."

Liu Bin blushed a little, as if on fire, his words hit him so hard that he didn't know what to say, he was so guilty.

Zhao Dahai nodded, said something casually, turned around and walked towards the mangrove forest.

Liu Bin looked at Zhao Dahai, heaved a sigh of relief, his face was a bit complicated, he was watching Sun Minghua's matter that day, Zhao Dahai looked like a ruthless person.

"Hey!"

"No one dares to underestimate Zhao Dahai now."

"I'm a hero. I'm a hero. That's really good."

"Don't look at the bastard for two years, no one dares to underestimate him when he looks back!"

Liu Bin shook his head.Zhao Dahai's father and mother passed away in an accident. People in the village looked down on Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua a little bit. Orphans and widows had to be bullied, let alone an orphan and a [-]-year-old lady. Zhao Dahai taught Sun Minghua a lesson. , Standing up straight in the village, no one dares to underestimate, no one dares to bully.
