In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 78
The night before New Year's Eve.

Dandan Island Square is brightly lit, and there are many mobile vendors from outside. They come to the island to sell New Year's goods.

There are braised meat, salted duck, and various fruits. Apples are especially popular, and they are all sold by the bag.

There are also all kinds of snacks, such as tofu brains, candied haws, and even exotic foods such as roasted voles, and they are selling well.

Some vendors sell all kinds of pots and pans, nylon cloth, and the price is much cheaper than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The square is full of people, and half of the villagers have passed by, but the most queued is the "tractor head" that can spit out rice fragrance.

Here, everyone calls it bong rice fragrance.

Pour the washed rice and white sugar together, and the crispy rice fragrance will be squeezed out from a hole in the tractor.

Then the boss folds them into about 40cm long and puts them in a transparent plastic bag to prevent it from getting damp.

There are many children around the tractor, all of them are holding the washed rice in their hands, and their faces are full of anticipation. This thing can provide them with the joy of the whole Spring Festival.

And that night, the fishermen on Dandan Island hardly slept, and all went out in fishing boats in the middle of the night.

Trawling nets, sticking nets and sticking nets, everyone is racing against time, because on New Year's Eve, there is simply not enough seafood to sell.

In this era when there are very few refrigerators, if you want to eat seafood for the New Year's Eve dinner, you will only buy it on the day.

So on this day, fishermen can basically sell as much seafood as they can catch, and the prices are very good.

Except fishing boats.

The tidal flats are also full of women and children begging for Xiaohai. Just in time for the tide at the end of the month, they took flashlights and started digging in the middle of the night.

Mainly catch a shellfish called blood cockles.

Li Duoyu also couldn't figure out why they always eat blood cockles during Chinese New Year here. After opening this kind of thing, it was full of red blood.

It is also very simple to eat, just put it in the pot and eat it directly with soy sauce and chopped garlic. It is also a bit old-fashioned, and it is eaten raw without dipping it.

Li Duoyu also asked Lao Li when he was a child, why there is always a blood cockle in the New Year, but Lao Li couldn't tell, because he also asked his ancestors.

The ancestors couldn't figure it out either, saying that he had this tradition when he was a child, and it could even be traced back to many dynasties.

In the early morning of New Year's Eve.

Li Duoyu also came to the pier with Chen Wenchao, and they planned to catch all the sea fish temporarily raised in the fishing rafts and sell them.

Before sailing, Li Duoyu ordered a salty tofu nao, while Chen Wenchao ordered a sweet one.

After the two ate several pieces of pancakes and triangular cakes, they took a flashlight and headed towards the kelp field.

In the early morning sea, the sea water is as black as ink, and you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hands, but the sea surface is full of lights.

As soon as Li Duoyu and the others left, a small fishing boat returned to the port. The fishmonger, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped on it before the boat approached.

As a result, a fishmonger nicknamed Lao Mi shouted, "I've reserved the three from Zhang San's!"

"Old Mi, you are making trouble, when did you make the reservation?"

"Two days ago, I already delivered wine to Lao Zhang, okay?"

Then the fishmonger named Lao Mi jumped on the fishing boat. After the weighing, the fishmonger said straightforwardly: "61 and a half catties, 24 yuan six, let's count it as 25 yuan for you."

The fishing boat owner who got the money was also happy. Seeing his child, he waited for him at the pier with a bag of rice before dawn.

He took out a piece of red paper on the spot, folded it in half and tore it into strips, then wrapped it with a dollar and smeared it with saliva.

"The red envelope for you, you can buy whatever you want."

After the child took the red envelope, he grinned from ear to ear, and immediately ran to the head of the tractor that bongmixiang.

The fishing boat owner, on the other hand, invited his family members to continue fishing. If he was lucky, he could sell another boat of fish.

The kelp field here.

When both Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao arrived, a dog was already there to greet them, and the barking of the dog could be heard from a distance.

Wait until they're in the row.

The two hundred and five kept spinning around Li Duoyu, rubbing against his feet, wagging their tails and making whining noises.

Li Duoyu touched its dog's head.

Poured yesterday's leftovers into its dog bowl, Two Hundred Five instantly gobbled it up.

Followed by.

Li Duoyu pasted a blessing on Erbaiwu's kennel, and then pasted a couplet on the bamboo house of the fishing raft.

The couplet was written by Zhou Xiaoying.

"Thousands of hectares of mist meet the sky and sea"

"Thousand cabins laugh to welcome the spring"

Although she is not the best at reading on the island, she is the best at writing with a brush. Every year during festivals, many villagers come to her to write couplets.

After pasting the couplet.

On the east side of the sea, there is already a white light emerging, and Chen Wenchao is holding a fishing net, and is fishing for the sea fish temporarily raised in the cage.

But right now.

Li Duoyu heard the whirring of the white dolphin, as if he was in the kelp field, and thought it was entangled by the kelp rope.

Unexpectedly, it seems that they are chasing fish schools. Judging from the situation, there should be fish schools hiding in the kelp fields.

The current kelp is simply the best shelter for fish schools, but if they don’t know what kind of fish it is, if it is a large yellow croaker, then they will make a fortune today.

After seeing the situation, Li Duoyu was also excited for a while, and hurriedly shouted to the local dog who was fishing: "Don't fish now, come with me to catch a wave of fish first."

Chen Wenchao was stunned: "Where are you going to catch them?"

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "Go to Mazu Empress to guide us."

Chen Wenchao was at a loss.

It wasn't until he saw the white dolphin that he came to his senses: "Damn it, brother Yu is so lucky. I rarely meet these mother-in-law fish when I go out to sea."

Li Duoyu used the key to open the bamboo house of the fishing raft, took out the sticky net inside, and then the two boats set up around the kelp field.

After putting the sticky net.

Li Duoyu took a long and big bamboo pole, came to the center of the kelp field, hit the water directly, and blasted out the sea fish hiding in the kelp field.

And the white dolphins are also very cooperative, they keep drilling around in the kelp fields, driving the fish in the sea, and as the sky gets brighter and brighter.

Chen Wenchao saw a large sea fish being carried away by a white dolphin, and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow~wow~ it looks like a mackerel."

Li Duoyu saw it too.

It seems that this time is the season of horse mackerel. This kind of fish is very popular because of its big meat and a big thorn in the middle.

The north likes to use it to make dumplings.

The south likes to use it to make fish balls.

In addition to blood cockles, fish balls are also a very important Chinese New Year dish, which means reunion.

The fish balls made from this kind of mackerel taste very silky. During the Chinese New Year, mackerel is also very popular.

After playing around the kelp field with a bamboo pole.

The two split up and started to collect the sticky net.

Looking at the fresh mackerel on the battle net, even Li Duoyu, who had already caught a lot of seafood, couldn't help being excited.

And Chen Wenchao continued to chant his mantra.

"Damn it, it hit the internet."
