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

Chapter 32 Ready to wait for the tide
Zhao Dahai turned around and hurried home, took the machete, and climbed up the mountain behind the village to cut bamboo. However, this time it was not carnations. After walking for half an hour, he found another kind of bamboo in a large clump—Moso bamboo.

The bamboo wall of Dianthus is thick and resistant to seawater corrosion, while the wall of moso bamboo is relatively thinner and has greater buoyancy, but its ability to resist seawater corrosion is not as good as Dianthus.Dianthus is the first choice for making fish fences, which is more durable. Moso bamboo is better for daily use such as weaving dustpans.

Zhao Dahai wielded the hatchet and cut it at a 45-degree angle. He chopped down a thick bamboo with three knives, and chopped eight bamboo leaves in succession. Once carried, go down the mountain and go home.

Zhao Dahai carried the bamboo back to the side of the vegetable field behind the house and threw it on the ground. After returning home, he took the saw and sawed each bamboo joint [-] centimeters up to form a natural bamboo tube. After sawing eight bamboos, count them , exactly eighty.

Zhao Dahai wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, sawing the wet bamboo was very strenuous, his hands were a little sore after such a short effort, so he took a rest, took a big basket, put all the bamboo tubes back into the yard and began to punch holes, one bamboo tube Punch two holes, put a half-meter-long rope through it, and tie a knot to get a bamboo tube that can be picked up. The eighty bamboo tubes are all put on. It is almost twelve o'clock at noon. I have to be busy with things and eat more Simple, cook a pot of rice, the dish is the leftover salted fish from the morning, fill your stomach, and continue to work.

Zhao Dahai searched for a while in the woodshed, took out a piece of wood about one centimeter thick and two meters long, sawed a piece of it, [-] centimeters wide and [-] centimeters long, searched in the toolbox for a long time, and found a piece of wood. Using sandpaper, sand one side of the board as smooth as possible.

Zhao Dahai used two wooden sticks to make a T-handle. A chisel made a square hole in the front of the board. When the handle was installed, there was a small crack and a little shaking. Several small pieces of wood were sharpened at one end, and the hammer hit it hard. Into the small slit, and tried it again, but it was not stable.

"Are you going to catch jumping fish later?!"

Zhong Cuihua came out of the main room, saw what Zhao Dahai was tossing about, and knew to catch jumping fish.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. Recently, the tide is almost noon in the morning. If you want to catch jumping fish, you have to wait until the tidal flat next to the mangrove forest is exposed at low tide. If you can’t do it today, you have to wait until tomorrow.

sunset.

The sky is full of rays of light.

The sea breeze blows, bringing a touch of hot coolness.

Zhao Dahai packed up the things he needed to catch jumping fish tomorrow, and placed them neatly in the corner, so that he didn't need to be in a hurry when he went out tomorrow morning.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen and started to make dinner. He saw that the leftover salted fish should not be wasted. After pondering for a while, he came up with an idea. Put the sea melon seed meat in a bowl and pour some boiling water to soak it. The salted pork belly hanging on the stove is cut into a piece as big as a palm, cut into small pieces, and boiled for more than ten minutes. It is soft and rotten. Grandma Zhong Cuihua It is more convenient and removes some salty taste at the same time.

Zhao Dahai put a little oil in the dry pot, put the pork belly in and fry until fragrant, put the pork belly and the soaked sea melon seeds and mud snail meat together and fry for a while, put half a bowl of water on it, cover the lid, and cook over high heat to collect the juice.

Zhao Dahai walked into the main room with the cooked food and put it on the small table.

"grandmother."

"time to eat."

Zhao Dahai yelled.

Zhong Cuihua put down the bowl in her hand, stood up on her knees, walked to the small dining table and sat down.

"grandmother."

"You have to take it easy."

"It's okay to find something to do to earn some money for daily necessities."

"Don't be too tired."

Zhao Dahai packed a bowl of rice, and covered the rice with a few pieces of soft and rotten pork belly. Otherwise, Zhong Cuihua would definitely not stretch out his chopsticks and keep the meat for himself. When he gets older, he can eat less meat, but he can’t. Not at all.

"How can you be tired?!"

"Eat and drink well every day and sit at home, the wind can't blow and the sun can't shine."

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

Zhao Dahai shook his head lightly, it was impossible to convince him, he could only stare a little longer, and stopped immediately when he felt that the time was too long.

Zhao Dahai picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of pork belly, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly, the oil flowed out immediately, the pure fat meat was soft, and the lean meat was a little hard, mixed with soft and hard, the taste was very good, absorbed The umami of salted fish and sea melon seeds and snails is very delicious.

Zhao Dahai ruthlessly picked up four or five mouthfuls of rice.Pork belly tastes great and goes well with rice.

"grandmother!"

"These mud snails and sea melon seeds are good, and the salted fish tastes good."

Zhao Dahai took the meat of mud snails and sea melon seeds and put them in Zhong Cuihua's bowl.The dried mud snails and sea melon seeds are soaked in hot water and become softer. The pork belly is stewed together to absorb the fat, and the taste is really good.

When Zhao Dahai was full, grandma Zhong Cuihua finished eating early, washed the dishes and chopsticks, packed them up and went back to the main room, and saw that grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets again, she wanted to help earn more money to make up the remaining 2 Yuan, this is not acceptable.

Zhao Dahai took Zhong Cuihua out, walked a hundred steps after dinner, lived to 99, took a stroll for a while, and met some old men in their 70s and [-]s in the village.

"Why is it so hot today?!"

……

"It's like a steamer."

"I can't sit still in the house."

……

"I don't have much to do at home. I think I'll get some more fishing nets to make up for it tomorrow. If I'm idle, I can earn a few cents."

……

Zhao Dahai sat on a rock and watched Zhong Cuihua chatting with the old men and women in the village. Without the moon and stars, he didn't know where to hide. It was pitch black and he couldn't see faces clearly, but grandma Zhong Cuihua could tell that she was in a good mood.

Five in the morning.

Zhao Dahai woke up, walked lightly into the kitchen, cooked porridge, ate two bowls, took the kettle, filled it with boiling water, and carried it to the yard, walked to the corner, packed up his things yesterday, took a Carrying a pole, one end is a plastic bucket, which contains several net bags and water bottles, and the other end is eighty bamboo tubes. I open the door of the yard and go out, striding towards the village pier.

When Zhao Dahai walked to the pier of the village, the sun had just risen, and the fishing boats from the village came back one after another. Looking at it, today's harvest was much better than yesterday's.

make money!Be sure to work hard to make money!Only when the fishing boat is repaired can it go fishing.

Zhao Dahai strode towards the mangrove forest.With a fishing boat, I can go fishing like these people in the village.

"What does Zhao Dahai want to do?!"

……

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Those bamboo tubes jumping on the pole must be to catch jumping fish."

……

"It's a hard job."

……

"What can we do?!"

"Without fishing boats, if you want to make money, you can only think of this way!"

……

The people on the fishing boat docked at the pier were chatting while picking out the fish they just caught with their hands and feet.The big and valuable ones are put together, and the small and worthless ones are put in another place. After a while, they are packed in net bags or baskets and sold in the town.
