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

Chapter 198 Long-lost rush to the sea!Good stuff!
Four in the morning.

Zhao Dahai stood on the small pier, holding a tank with live shrimps in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, his eyes widened, a bit dumbfounded.I woke up early in the morning and wanted to go to sea to see how the place where I caught the big yellow croaker was, especially if there were other fishing boats fishing there. If not, I would try to see if I could catch the big yellow croaker.

Unexpectedly, I forgot that the ebb tide was relatively large today, and the beach near the pier was completely exposed, and the fishing boat ran aground directly.

Zhao Dahai shook his head helplessly. He definitely couldn't go fishing. The place where he caught the big yellow croaker was not too far from the pier. Today, the tide has receded so far, it is very likely that there is no seawater in the fishing spots, at least seawater It is very shallow. There are not many large yellow croakers in the first place, and they have been greatly affected. It is estimated that they will not be able to catch them in the future, or they will have to wait until around this time next year to have a chance.

Zhao Dahai had no choice but to turn around and go home. The live prawns were raised in the live fish pond. He went back to his room and slept until seven o'clock.

Zhao Dahai took a bowl of porridge with a piece of salted fish, and walked out of the yard while eating.I met Ding Xiaoxiang last night, listened to Ding Xiaoxiang's analysis, and understood what to do next, and my a little impatient heart immediately calmed down.Meals have to be eaten bite by bite. There is really no need to buy a big speedboat right away when you have money.

Zhao Dahai looked at the whole piece of exposed seabed, the seawater was on the other side of the invisible horizon, and remembered that he hadn’t gone to the sea for a while, couldn’t go fishing, had nothing else to do, so he went around in the sea for a while. Something to eat.

Zhao Dahai finished the porridge in two or three bites, went back to the yard and yelled and told Zhong Cuihua to go to the sea by herself, put on Jiefang shoes, took the baskets she carried, took two net bags, and after thinking about it, she took a small iron bag. With a rake and a small steel bar with a hook on the front that I had prepared before, I rode a tricycle to the pier. It was quite a sight to see. There were a lot of people in the sea. Some of them came from the town to play, and most of them were digging clams with a hoe. of.

Zhao Dahai went into the sea and walked towards the mangrove forest at the west end of the village. There was a tidal flat in front of it, a paradise for catching the sea. He put cages there to catch jumping fish and dig blood eels, and made a lot of money.

Zhao Dahai stepped into the mud of the tidal flat and walked forward slowly. After a while, he stepped on a hard object under his feet, and reached out to dig it. It was a three-finger-sized clam, not ordinary sandy white, but with mucus. The kind of meat is very crispy, the soup is very good, cut two slices of loofah and put it in, it is very sweet.

Zhao Dahai took the mud that the clams had washed in the small puddle next to him, put them into the basket, and continued walking. He saw the eye of a razor clam and dug it with his hands. A big razor clam was pointed out with both hands. It was very fat. .

Zhao Dahai walked around for about twenty minutes, filled the small basket with one or two catties of various small seafood, and even caught an octopus and a blue crab that was less than half a catty, and the harvest was very good.

"what!"

"The sea!"

"Why did you come here?"

Zhao Dahai looked up and saw that Lei Dayou's wife Ma Hongyu was looking at him with a hoe in her hand and a small bamboo basket on her back, less than 50 meters away.

"what?"

"Auntie."

"Where's the blood eel digger?"

Zhao Dahai walked up to Ma Hongyu, took a look and knew he was digging blood eels.

"The tide is low today, and the tide has receded far away. Come out and dig to see if you can earn 200 yuan, but this thing runs really fast. It is really difficult to dig."

Ma Hongyu wiped off her sweat, then stopped to dig out blood eels early in the morning, and within three to four hours they only managed to dig up less than half a catty.

Zhao Dahai looked around, there was a blood eel eye not far away where Ma Hongyu came over, he took a hoe and walked over, digging directly.

Ma Hongyu watched Zhao Dahai dig more than a dozen hoes leisurely, then suddenly accelerated, three hoes dug out a blood eel.

"what!"

"It doesn't take much effort for you to dig, but I've spent a lot of effort, and I'm so tired that I won't be able to dig a single piece?!"

Ma Hongyu was very surprised.

"You have to find the right eye to dig a blood eel!"

"Some have blood eels in them but some don't. You have to distinguish them clearly. Otherwise, your efforts will be wasted!"

……

"Auntie."

"It can't be fast when you start digging."

……

"Dig with hoe after hoe."

……

"I can almost see where the blood eel is, and then quickly dig a few hoes to dig it!"

……

Zhao Dahai reached out and grabbed the blood eel, put it into Ma Hongyu's bamboo basket, handed the hoe back to Ma Hongyu, said a few words about how to dig the blood eel, turned around and continued to go forward to get some seafood.

Ma Hongyu watched Zhao Dahai go farther and farther, admiring Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai is really a master at poaching blood eels. Don't underestimate him. With this skill, it is not a problem to earn 200 yuan a day with a little hard work. This place is a fishing village. , enough to feed the family.Going out to sea and fishing is even more powerful, and he made a lot of money with his own family, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin.

Zhao Dahai walked forward slowly, bending down from time to time to pick out a clam or something else from the sea, wash it and put it in the bamboo basket on his back. Walking to a place he hadn't been to very often, he straightened up, looked at it, They are all stones the size of a bowl or a football basketball. There is sand and mud mixed between the stones, but there is more coarse sand than mud.

There's nothing going on in this place, is there?
Zhao Dahai frowned, there was no one rushing to the sea in this whole area.

When the tide of the sea is low, there are more small seafood in the tidal flats with mud and water. It takes a little time to pick up a bag of clams and so on, which is enough for a meal.

However, in the place in front of me, there is no water, and it is not a muddy bottom. It does not mean that there is no food, but it is difficult to grasp and dig. There are also clams in the sand, but the sand is thick, so bare hands will definitely not work. It takes a few digs to get it If the skin is broken, you have to use a rake, but there are so many stones here that it is very difficult to dig, and it takes a long time to dig a few, which is very uneconomical.There are stones here, and there will be some crabs, but the same reason, you can't dig in the hole.Little rock move up?Although this head is really not big, but it has been soaked in water for many years, half-buried in the sand and sucked steadily. If you can't move a few pieces, you will be out of breath.

Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment, then continued to walk forward, since it was already here, turn around and have a look.

Zhao Dahai walked around for ten minutes, but didn't see anything.

No way?

How could there be nothing?

Zhao Dahai was very surprised. It was impossible that there was nothing there. He was a little unwilling to give up, and stared at it carefully as he walked forward.

"Yo!"

"That's good stuff!"

Zhao Dahai searched for a long time, and saw a triangular-shaped thing in the middle of two or three stones. The big wedge-shaped palm was pulled out.

tape!

Zhao Dahai did not expect to find the belt here.

This is a kind of sea mussel that is not very rare but very delicious.

The scallops in the dry goods are made by drying the muscles connected with the two shells, and the taste is very delicious.In some places, there is a saying "Jiangyao Bei with sea cucumber and abalone".

Zhao Dahai took one out, cleaned the sand and put it in a net bag. When going to the sea, you have to use a net bag, and you can only put it in something like a belt. A basket and a bamboo basket can't hold it at all. a few.

Belts are generally in groups, and if you find one in one place, you may be able to find several others or even a piece.

Zhao Dahai immediately looked left and right, and quickly found some other ones, and immediately took them out one by one, washed them clean, and put them into mesh bags.

Zhao Dahai continued to walk forward, and he could see one every few steps.

"what!"

"Thinking that there is nothing here, I didn't expect not only to have but also such a very good product!"

Zhao Dahai found more than a hundred of them in just one hour, all of which were the size of a palm, and filled two large net bags full.The color of the belt is relatively close to that of the surrounding stones or sandstones, and only a small half of it is exposed to the sea.If you don't pay attention, it's easy to miss it. Either you can't see it, or you think it's a stone.In addition, most people think that the place in front of them is full of stones, and there is nothing good about it.There are very few people who come, which is cheap for myself.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, and strode back with a net bag in one hand.

When Zhao Dahai walked to the beach in front of the mangrove forest, he met Ma Hongyu who was digging blood eels. There were so many people rushing to the sea, they would definitely meet other people on the way back, and they must know that they found the belt. Tell Ma Hongyu what kind of place the belt is, and I found a small half of the place, and there must be more and more places left in the other half.

Ma Hongyu immediately turned around and left. The blood eel was more valuable, but it was not easy to dig out. Half of the bag was exposed on the ground, so you can find it if you are careful.

Holding the bag, Zhao Dahai made a deliberate circle and walked back to the pier in a different direction. Along the way, many people watched and some of them turned around and trotted towards the direction they came from.

Zhao Dahai was a little proud. These people didn't expect that they went around on purpose. There were so many footprints in the sea. These people must have lost them. When they found the place, Ma Hongyu had dug away most of the bags.

Zhao Dahai went to the pier carrying two large mesh bags, just happened to meet Lei Dayou, and talked about the belt.

"Yo!"

"That's good stuff!"

"I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Lei Dayou yelled and got on the fishing boat, took some net bags and a shoulder pole, and immediately rushed to the place Zhao Dahai said.

Zhao Dahai took the straps of two net bags and put them on the tricycle, and pulled them home.

Zhong Cuihua was surprised to see that Zhao Dahai carried two large mesh bags, all of which were palm-sized belts. She said she was going to catch the sea, but she thought it was just some miscellaneous small seafood, but she didn't expect to get a good one.

Zhao Dahai took a large iron basin, poured out all the bags in the mesh bag, washed the sand on the surface with sea water, took a small sharp knife and began to open the shell.

The inside of the scallop is almost the same as the mussel.

The internal organs were pulled out, leaving behind the skirt, the most valuable thing like a large meat bump, translucent white, and the belt uses this thing to open and close its own shell.

Zhao Dahai took a knife and gently cut it off from the shell. The size is really good, the diameter is more than two fingers, and the thickness is almost close to [-] centimeters, which is only for long-growing belts.

It took Zhao Dahai almost two hours to process all the tapes.

The internal organs of the scallops cannot be eaten, so I took a bag, put them in a bag and threw them away sometime, one big bowl was filled with skirts, and the other big bowl was filled with lumps of white translucent scallops The "muscle."

Zhao Dahai took two large dustpans, washed the "muscles" of the belts with clean sea water, and stacked them neatly on the dustpans one by one. He looked at the weather and found that there was sun but it was not too big, and the sea breeze was blowing "huh". "Huh", the weather is good to dry the dry goods, take them out of the yard and place them on the open space.

Zhao Dahai started to deal with the hem of the belt. It was slimy. He took salt and cornstarch, cleaned it again and again, and cut it with a knife. It was almost lunch time, and he started to heat up the oil. He had ginger and green onion at home, so he poured it down. Stir-fry together, stir-fry for a while, put water and boil for ten minutes, collect the juice on high heat, add salt and soy sauce, and put the braised scallop skirt in a large bowl.

"grandmother!"

"Have a meal!"

Zhao Dahai packed a bowl of rice, covered it with the skirt of a large spoon and the sauce, and gave it to grandma Zhong Cuihua, and brought another bowl by himself, and took a bite into his mouth. It was delicious and salty, and the rice went well. In less than 3 minutes, the big bowl of rice was emptied, I touched my stomach and filled another bowl, and burped in satisfaction after eating.

After Zhao Dahai finished his meal, he grabbed the tea leaves and put them in a cup. He washed them down with boiling water, and it was so thick that it turned black. After waiting for a while, he drank half a cup, added boiling water and left it, then turned and walked to his room. If you can’t go out to sea, get some delicious food, eat and sleep, and work hard but have to eat, drink, rest and rest when you have nothing to do.

small town.

Wu Weimin frowned, and often came to the town to collect seafood from various fishing villages, and bought a house directly. Today, he received a call from a big boss who often came to the restaurant to eat, saying that there was a large yellow croaker. Keep an eye out to see if there are any. .

"what happened?"

"Has anyone caught a big yellow croaker?"

"Why haven't you heard of it?"

Wu Weimin was very strange.

Large yellow croaker is no ordinary fish, shrimp and crab.Once someone catches it, it will immediately cause a sensation. Fishing people often release news on purpose, knowing that the more people there are, the higher the price may be.

These two days I stayed in the town, wandering around in various villages.Really did not hear.But the news is definitely not fake.Not only did someone catch the fish, but someone ate it.

Wu Weimin thought for a while and made several phone calls to the boat bosses in several villages who had large fishing boats going out to sea, but no one heard the news.

"It's weird!"

Wu Weimin really couldn't figure out what was going on, and couldn't get any information by calling, so he could only drive to the village below and take a look around.

Zhao Dahai woke up from sleep, and took the strong tea that was soaked in water before going to bed. At this time, the cold tea was already cold and he drank a few big mouthfuls. He immediately regained his energy, walked out of the courtyard door, and looked at the meat with strings on the dustpan to dry. , It’s already half dried, I turned it all over and then dried it again, and it can be put away after another day of drying tomorrow. This is scallops, which can be used to cook porridge. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is very good to eat, the taste is very sweet, and full of nutrition.

"Next time I meet Ding Xiaoxiang, I'll bake some scallops."

Zhao Dahai had an idea, he had already thought about changing Ding Xiaoxiang's tricks, the baked scallops were also very delicious.

"what?"

"Why is Wu Weimin here? Could it be that he wants to go fishing again?"

Zhao Dahai flipped through the scallops, drank the cool tea in the cup, turned around and wanted to go back to the yard, and saw Wu Weiming's car driving up. It was only a few days after the last fishing trip, no matter how itchy his hands were, no matter how If you want to fish, you have to slow down, no, you have to work to make money.

Zhao Dahai saw Wu Weiming's car stopped, and walked over with big strides to see what he wanted to do this time.
