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

Chapter 47 Stepping on the waterline of low tide!

Three in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up, and when he saw the light in the main room was on, he walked over immediately. This is not acceptable, so without further ado, he directly helped Zhong Cuihua to sleep in the back room.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen. Last night, he had already cooked the meals before going to bed. After breakfast, he found a lunch box with rice and a large piece of pork belly and salted fish. He closed the lid. Today will be a very busy day. I don’t know at noon. Where to eat, simply bring it directly, when you are hungry and when you eat, there is no need to go home specially.

Zhao Dahai walked to the side of the motorcycle, put the lunch box into the basket on the back seat, packed everything, opened the door to the yard, and pushed the motorcycle out to the locked door.

Zhao Dahai looked around, the whole village was quiet, he was the first one to go out, the early birds got the worms, riding a motorcycle, within ten minutes, arrived at the village wharf, the ebb tide was no joke, the flashlight went forward After taking a photo, the sea water has already receded within a visible distance, and the entire seabed has leaked out.

The seabed exposed by the receding sea water is mudflat in some places, reefs in some places, and sand in some places.

The mudflats are relatively soft and sticky, and there is even stagnant water, so the motorcycle will definitely not be able to drive.The reefs are uneven, and motorcycles can barely walk on places that are relatively short, but not on high places.However, the sand on the seabed is very compact under the soaking of sea water, especially where the sand is mixed with some small reef bottoms, motorcycles can not only drive but also slide very smoothly.
To the east of Langtou village is the reef area, to the west is mangroves and tidal flats, and there is a large area of ​​sand and gravel in front of it.

Zhao Dahai kicked the gas pedal, and the motorcycle drove directly into the sea. At the beginning, he was a little cautious, afraid of getting stuck in the car, but soon found that it was very safe, very safe, and the sand was more solid than he imagined. Faster and faster, until the speed of fifty kilometers per hour.

The sea was silent.

It was pitch black all around.

The roar of the motorcycle's engine was heard far away.The light of the headlights pierces the night more like a sword.

Zhao Dahai heard the sound of the waves, slowed down, the headlights of the motorcycle hit the sea water, stopped immediately, found a small reef, propped up the motorcycle, took a flashlight, and turned around. It was a little earlier, the sea hadn't receded completely, and it took at least an hour to wait until five or six o'clock in the day when it receded farther and deeper before it was possible to dig mussels or oysters. Now they are all soaked in in the water.

Zhao Dahai walked to the side of the motorcycle and took out a net bag from the basket, put on his gloves, walked to the edge of the sea, walked along the waterline, and kept the flashlight shining on the sea.

Zhao Dahai walked five or six meters, and the flashlight illuminated a place. At first glance, it was a piece of sand, but upon closer inspection, the sand here was different from the sand around it. It was slightly sunken, and the sunken place was about the size of a palm. There are two small eyes on the sand, and the flashlight emits a faint blue light.

Zhao Dahai bent down and pressed the thumb of his right hand on the sunken place in the sand.Insert the other four fingers into the sand, pinch it firmly up and down at the same time, and pick it up.

"Aha!"

"coming!"

"Shipping!"

"This head is really good!"

Zhao Dahai laughed. What he was holding in his hand was a pretty big orchid crab. This is a kind of crab. The male crab has dark blue or blue-green, light blue or white spots on his body, and the female crab has dark blue or white spots. Green or yellow-brown bands.The meat is very sweet and tastes great. It is very popular and the price is quite good. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is. The crab in my hand is only about a catty of male crab.

When the seaside ebbs, the fish, shrimps and crabs will retreat to the depths of the sea along with the water. The crabs often don’t turn around and swim to the sea immediately but are “the queen”. The most favorite thing to do is to hover around the waterline. Many times, Once the tide recedes too fast, you can't run away, you can only stay where you are, and that's how you find crabs by turning over rocks in the tidal flats.

Zhao Dahai deliberately got up early in the morning, aiming at these crabs at the waterline, the first big male orchid crab harvested, proving his guess was correct.

"Don't be greedy. Don't be greedy."

"You can get ten or eight of this size!"

Zhao Dahai took out the rope he had prepared long ago, tied the orchid crab and put it in the net bag, and continued walking.The market price of a catty of big male orchid crabs is about 100 yuan. If you get ten or eight crabs, you can get 1000 yuan, which is very flattering to think about.

Zhao Dahai stepped on the waterline that was constantly receding, and continued to walk forward, his eyes fixed on the place swept by the flashlight. After three or forty meters, he found another crab, which was also an orchid crab, but This is a small female crab, about four taels, not as big as a male crab, but in fact it is not small, at least 40 yuan.

Zhao Dahai picked up as he walked, sometimes he could find orchid crabs or other crabs by walking two or three steps, but sometimes he had to walk hundreds of meters to find one.

There was a hint of whiteness in the sky faintly.

Zhao Dahai stopped and walked for more than an hour without knowing it. He weighed the net bag in his hand. It weighed twenty catties. Most of them were valuable orchid crabs, three or four three-point crabs and a few heads Big stone crab.

Zhao Dahai turned around and walked back. It was almost dawn, so he quickened his pace and arrived at the place where the motorcycle was parked in less than an hour. There were six more big male orchid crabs in the net bag.

"Hehehe!"

"The early bird gets the worm, that's a really good saying."

Zhao Dahai is very happy. There are about 60 catties of crabs, and there are more big and valuable orchid crabs. On average, it costs about 2000 yuan a catty. If the market is better, it can be sold for about 500 yuan. It costs [-] yuan each, and I get up two or three hours earlier than others. I have worked a little harder, and the extra money is very cost-effective.

Zhao Dahai dug a hole in the sand, and after waiting for a while, a lot of seawater accumulated, took out a bucket of water from the basket, and soaked the net bag containing the crabs in the bucket together. The crabs are more durable, even if there is no oxygen machine. It's fine for a few hours.

Are the people in the village fools?
Or are you really too rich, don't want to pick up crabs, and sell them to make money? !
The people in the village are really not stupid.For generations, my ancestors lived in fishing villages and went fishing to make money. How could they not know about this? !
It is even more impossible for the very rich to look down on two or three thousand yuan.

The real reason is that there may be crabs during the ebb tide, and more likely there is nothing.

I thought about making as much money as possible, saving enough to repair fishing boats, and was even more willing to work hard to get up early.If I have no pressure and don't need to worry about the money to repair the fishing boat, maybe I will also lie down and sleep at home now!

Zhao Dahai picked up the water bottle, drank a few sips of water, and looked towards the direction of the village. It was too far away, and the sky was not particularly bright, so he couldn't see where he was. He rested for about ten minutes, got on the motorcycle, and continued Go ahead, it's almost time to start drying mussels and oysters!
