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

Chapter 170 The Man Who Came After Hearing the Wind!Where did the fish go?
The sun rises high on bamboo poles.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the gate of the yard and looked down at the wide sea from a high position. The sea breeze was blowing, and it was neither too hot nor too cold. It was very comfortable. He hadn’t gone out to sea for the past three days, and had been staring at the isinglass drying at home.Sun Er came to visit sooner or later these days, he had to take good care of it, and he couldn't be careless.

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at the isinglass hanging on the shelf not far away. Under the sunlight, the orange color was slowly revealed, and beside it hung a large fish over 1.5 meters.

Hearing the sound of the car engine, Zhao Dahai looked back and saw that it was Wu Weimin's car. Needless to say, he rushed over after hearing the news that he had caught a [-]-jin big squid, and wanted to see if he could buy it. Many people came these days. They saw that the fish had been killed and took the glue. They didn't give up.

"Boss Wu."

"Which blow is this that urges you to come over?!"

Zhao Dahai walked to the car, just as Wu Weimin opened the door and got out.

"what!"

"I heard that you caught a big squid weighing more than a hundred catties, so you hurried over here."

Wu Weimin and Zhao Dahai had dealt with each other a few times, an old acquaintance, straight to the point and said what he wanted, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the dried fish and fish gelatin drying on the shelf next to him, and rushed over quickly.

"Yo!"

"This fish is so big!"

……

"It has to be as high as my neck!"

"It's too exaggerated, how did you catch this fish!"

……

"Hey!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"This isinglass is amazing!"

……

"It's full of gelatin!"

……

"The person who took the glue is really amazing, old-fashioned, too complete, very clean, and there is no trace of impurities left!"

"There are not many people with such abilities now."

……

Wu Weimin's eyes widened, and he kept muttering while talking.

Zhao Dahai was a little curious and asked Wu Weimin how to tell if the isinglass was good or bad, especially how to tell the gelatin inside.

"Whether fish gelatin is good or not depends first on its thickness."

"If it's not thick enough, the isinglass must be junk."

"The bigger the fish, the thicker and longer the gelatin."

"The length of this meter is about [-] centimeters at the widest point, and close to [-] centimeters at the narrowest point."

"The thickest part of the gelatin head is almost two centimeters thick, and the thinnest part is more than one centimeter."

"This is seven to eighty percent dry."

……

"See the isinglass has a trace of lines?"

"These are the tubes, where the gelatin is stored."

"Good isinglass has a lot of lines or pipes densely packed."

"If you look carefully under the sun, you can clearly see the colloid inside"

……

Zhao Dahai carefully looked at the hanging isinglass. There were really thin lines like pipes running through them one after another. It was very clear and obvious. When the sunlight came through, it could be seen that there were solidified things in these pipes.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"I don't know how many isinglasses I've seen. This one is the best I've ever seen. It's not just as simple as its size. The key is that these pipes are very dense. The other is that the gelatin inside is full."

"I've seen isinglass bigger than this one, but the quality is very poor, the pipes are very sparse, and the gelatin is very little."

Wu Weimin's eyes lit up. As a chef of a top-notch private restaurant and a chef who specializes in seafood, the research on the top dry products such as isinglass, abalone and sea cucumber is very deep. I don't know how many boiled isinglass. They are all top-notch products, but they are not as good as the one in Zhao Dahai's hands.

"Do not sell!"

"Isinglass is not for sale, fish head stone is not for sale, and this dried fish is not for sale!"

Zhao Dahai saw it, and Wu Weimin turned to look at him, knowing what he wanted to say.

"what?"

"Why?"

"It's impossible to cook and eat this kind of thing casually, it's really a waste."

"You can't keep what you have all the time, can you? This thing is indeed a good thing, but it's very troublesome to take care of it."

"If you accidentally lose it or something else, it will be troublesome."

"The key is that this thing is really valuable."

"How about I buy 25?"

Wu Weimin was stunned for a moment, Zhao Dahai didn't even listen to his offer, and immediately refused.

Zhao Dahai shook his head, and said with a smile that if Wu Weimin saw the price he had just caught, he would sell it immediately without further ado.

Wu Weiming did not expect this to happen, and was very helpless. Zhao Dahai said this in front of everyone. When the betrothal gift is given, this big fish must not be absent.Failure to do this will make people in the surrounding villages laugh at him for a lifetime. There is only one situation where Zhao Dahai will sell the fish maw if his family is ruined and he needs money to help him survive.

Wu Weimin said that if he really wanted to sell the isinglass in the future, he had to inform himself, but he didn't continue to talk about it.

Wu Weimin asked about the process of catching this big squid in detail, and he was very envious. Big fish are crazy attractive to those who like fishing.

"Boss Wu."

"Now there are not many places where you can catch big fish. I will go catch big fish with you after I find out."

Zhao Dahai knew that Wu Weimin definitely wanted to catch big fish, so only he knew where he was transferred to Daqingban to catch big catfish, and he couldn't take other people there.

Zhao Dahai sent Wu Weimin away, walked back to the gelatin, and looked at it carefully again. The gelatin was really clearly visible, a little proud, it was really a good thing.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and squeezed the big fish, and he did a lot.God is very kind these days, neither hot nor cold with strong winds. This kind of weather is most suitable for drying dried fish including isinglass. It dries very quickly. It is very troublesome in rainy days or hot and sunny days.

evening.

Sun Er came for a visit, carefully looked at the isinglass and dried salted fish, and said that they could be put away. He taught himself how to pack the bags. Every three months, when the weather is dry and not hot, take them out to ventilate them. If you are careful, they can be stored for decades.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. Don't worry about ordinary fish, shrimp and crabs. This is a fish maw worth more than 20 yuan. It's really not a joke.

Zhao Dahai put away the isinglass, and after lunch, he drove a tricycle to the pier to get on a fishing boat. He didn’t go out to sea for a few days, and he came down every day to check it out, but he was going to go out to sea tomorrow, so he had to pack up his things.

Zhao Dahai left the pier and rushed to the town, where he bought a sea centipede from a fishing tackle shop.

Five in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up, finished breakfast, and when he went out to the pier, many fishing boats had already returned, buying and selling fish, crowded together, and it was very lively.

Zhao Dahai circled around, and the fishing boats that went out to sea caught almost the same fish, shrimps and crabs, nothing special. I bought two catties of live shrimp the size of a small finger, and carried them to the fishing boat to raise them in the live cabin.

Zhao Dahai didn’t go to the place where he caught big catfish and bluefish. Every day he went there, there would be no fish. Generally speaking, big fish occupy a lot of land. If one or several big fish are in one place, other big fish won’t come. He caught two big bluefish, and big catfish came. We caught big catfish a few days ago, and we have to wait for a while for new big fish to come. It’s better to go every ten days and a half months, especially after the tide changes.

Midday.

The white flowers are very dazzling.

Zhao Dahai stared at the tip of the pole, shook it a few times, picked up the fishing rod, stretched it forward, shook it a few times, and then a big one, raised the pole to stab the fish, caught the fish, straightened the line, controlled it, pulled it out of the water, a yellow snapper about seven taels, picked the fish and threw it into the live cabin, hung the Shanghai centipede, and threw the pole out. After waiting for about 15 minutes, he found another fish.

Zhao Dahai looked at the seven or eight fishing boats around him. In half a day, everyone's harvest was similar. Some caught seven or eight fish, and some caught fifteen or six fish like himself. They were not too big. There were black snappers and yellow snappers.

Zhao Dahai took the lunch box and started to eat. The harvest was not good, and he was not in a hurry. Fishing is like this. Sometimes it makes a fortune, but it is good to make a living when it is more. A while ago, I caught big fish one after another, and made a few good fortunes. During this time, I made less money and no pressure. In addition, today I caught old fish near the shallow sea, which is not too much.

After lunch, Zhao Dahai took a break. For about half an hour, the five poles did not move. They were all put away. He drove the fishing boat and moved to another place. They were also a bit old-fashioned. Looking at the dozen or so fishing boats, they must be able to catch fish, but there must not be many.

Zhao Dahai was not picky, and he didn't dislike too many fishing boats. He found a place to stop the fishing boats and started fishing. No matter whether there were many fish or few fish, he would fish. These fishing places near the shallow sea had to be fished once or twice to find out the situation.

sunset.

The sky is full of red clouds.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the wharf. For the past seven or eight days, he went out early in the morning and returned at night every day to go fishing. Every day he harvested but not much.

Where are all the fish?

Zhao Dahai was a little strange. There were not many fish caught these days. It was reasonable to say that there were no fish in one or a few places, but it was not normal that there were no fish in twenty or thirty fishing spots in the entire sea area.

Zhao Dahai ran farther away today, with a few villages in the middle, and when he was driving, he saw large pieces of wooden piles appearing on the surface of the sea.

Oyster fields?
A flash of light flashed in Zhao Dahai's mind, and he thought of a possibility.
