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

Chapter 34
The sun rose half a day high.

Like a stove.

The seawater evaporated on the hot mudflat, making it difficult to breathe.

Zhao Dahai was gasping for breath. The clothes on his body had been wet and dry for countless times. There were circles of white powder, whether it was the salt of sweat or sea water, and his face was covered with paste. A lot of mud.

Zhao Dahai drank a few sips of water and immediately began to collect the bamboo tubes. This was the third day of catching jumping fish. His muscles were sore and he was very tired, but the harvest was good. On the first day, he caught about five catties of jumping fish. I caught about six catties, and today is the third day. I hope to have almost the same harvest. There is no secret to catching jumping fish, so I worked desperately.

Zhao Dahai paddled the mud horse, took out a bamboo tube and stuffed it into the net bag and shook it.

Huh? !

Zhao Dahai glanced at the jumping fish just thrown out, and found that it was not the same as other jumping fish. He reached into the net bag to grab it, but didn't take it out. The jumping fish had mucus and sea mud on it, and it was very slippery. If you are not careful, you want to run away, and keep it in the net bag for safety. If you look closely, it is indeed different. It is bigger, shorter, and fatter.

Zhao Dahai bent down and washed the jumping fish, and now he could see it very clearly, it was really different, there were very obvious blue spots on his body.

"Hehehe!"

"nice one!"

Zhao Dahai recognized at a glance that the jumping fish in his hand is the so-called minnow. There are many kinds of jumping fish. There are five or six kinds of jumping fish that can be seen on the beaches of Langtou Village and several nearby villages. The jumping fish is smaller and slender, while the minnow is different. It is big, has more meat, rich in oil, and the meat is very smooth and tender, even has a smooth and powdery taste. It tastes very delicious and the price is the highest.

Zhao Dahai let go of his hand, and the jumping fish fell into the net bag mixed with others. He paddled the mud horse and continued to collect the bamboo tubes. After half an hour, he stopped, frowned, collected about twenty bamboo tubes, and poured them out There are more than a dozen jumping fishes, seven or eight of them are minnows.The mudflats by the sea, including the mangroves, have a lot of jumping fish, even countless, but most of them are common jumping fish. The first two days were all common jumping fish. There are not many minnows. Now there are more than a dozen jumping fish. Seven or eight of the jumping fish are minnows, which is absolutely abnormal.

what the hell? !

What's going on here?

Could it be that there are a lot of minnows here?

Zhao Dahai looked at the mudflat in front of him.Generally speaking, ordinary jumping fish can be sold for three to forty-one catties, fatter and larger ones can be sold for forty or fifty catties, and the price of minnows is relatively high, which can be sold for at least ten to fifteen yuan per catty. If they are big and fat , It can easily sell for seventy or eighty, which can catch up with the price of blue crabs.

While pondering, Zhao Dahai finished collecting the remaining twenty or so bamboo tubes, looked carefully, and caught another dozen minnows.

Zhao Dahai didn't hesitate, and immediately put the bamboo tube on the spot.The mudflats in front of the mangroves, including those inside the mangroves, are very wide. When the bamboo tubes were placed before, one place was only placed once. It’s not that there are no jumping fish in this place, but there are more jumping fishes in front of them that are not frightened, so it’s easier fishing.It is different now. The place in front of me is probably the "territory" where minnows gather. If there are many minnows in one place, it means that there are more minnows.The price of minnows is higher, and it is more cost-effective to catch minnows, so why not do it.

Zhao Dahai walked very carefully this time, not letting go of every jumping fish's hole.After putting out the eighty bamboo tubes, we immediately began to chase the jumping fish out of the mangrove.

"That's right!"

"One hundred percent is minnow."

Zhao Dahai was very excited and waved his right hand vigorously.Minnows are big, and their jumps are different from ordinary jumping fish.If you observe carefully, it is easy to distinguish.My own guess is not wrong at all, the quagmire in front of me, including the mangrove forest, is indeed the place where minnows gather.

After Zhao Dahai finished catching the jumping fish, he immediately began to collect the bamboo tubes. Not all of them were minnows, but at least five or six of the ten bamboo tubes were minnows. Put bamboo tubes everywhere and put away the bamboo tubes to catch minnows.Not going anywhere now, just spinning around in this mudflat, smashing to the end.

sunset.

The sea water rose and submerged the mud flats, and after about half an hour, the mangrove forests had lost their tops.

Zhao Dahai picked up the net bag soaked in half mud and half water in the bucket. The jumping fish inside weighed seven or eight catties, most of which were valuable minnows, cleaned bamboo tubes and mud horses, and tied them up. Walking home with a shoulder pole, when passing by the small pier of the village, I met many people in the village, said hello, and left quickly, catching jumping fish was very exhausting, and at noon I just ate it simply After eating some cold rice, I was so hungry that I hurried back to cook to fill my stomach.

"Zhao Dahai is really too ruthless?!"

Zhong Shizhu carried a bucket of seawater, rushed to the deck of his fishing boat, and glanced at Zhao Dahai who was striding away.For the past three days, Zhao Dahai got up early and went dark every day, rolling in the mudflats beside the mangroves every day to catch jumping fish.

"I can't do this kind of work."

Liu Bin was adjusting the fishing nets on the fishing boat next door, and immediately shook his head when he heard this.Is it just riding a mud horse to catch jumping fish on the mud flat?It sounds easy, and anyone can do it.It is true that anyone can do it, but not everyone can do it for a few hours a day and three days in a row.This work is very hard. I would rather go fishing for ten days than go to the mud for a day to catch jumping fish.

"Hehehe!"

"If you can earn a thousand or eight hundred a day, you can definitely do it."

Zhong Shizhu made a joke.

"Hey!"

"Isn't this nonsense?!"

"Thousands of children, who would feel tired?"

Liu Bin shook his head.Catching jumping fish can make money, but after a day of exhaustion, you can only earn two to three hundred yuan.Most of the time, driving a fishing boat out to sea and casting nets can only earn a hundred or so yuan a day, but it is too easy.

"Zhao Dahai doesn't have a fishing boat now, so he can't go out to sea to fish, so he can only make money like this. You said that once you have a boat and work so hard, it will be terrible!"

Zhong Shizhu watched Zhao Dahai turn a corner with the bamboo horse and bamboo tube, disappeared, and turned to look at Liu Bin.

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment, his face a bit ugly.Zhao Dahai worked so hard, once he got a fishing boat, it would be really amazing, and he would definitely earn much more money than people like himself.But what can be done about this matter?There is no trick at all, I can only watch helplessly.But they are all in the same village. If you can't see each other in the morning, maybe you can see them in the afternoon. How can you not have a heart for comparison, how can you watch others' lives getting better and better without thinking at all?
