Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Zhao Dahai walked to the front of the mangrove forest, and waited for a while when the tide began to recede slowly, and the mudflats were gradually exposed. In such a place, the biological chain is rich, and there are many small fish, shrimps, and crabs, but they are not big. However, the jumping fish is different, there are many and the head is large.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and waited until the sea water receded for about an hour before walking on the mudflat. The biggest feature of the mudflat is that the mud is very deep. If you step on it at least to your knees, you will sink your thighs in some places. The sea mud is very sticky, a bit like a swamp. It is very difficult to pull your legs out, and it takes a lot of effort. The thing I made out of a piece of wood yesterday looks a bit like a horse and was "ridden" on the mudflat. It is commonly known as a "mud horse". Now it comes in handy.

Zhao Dahai carried a mud horse in one hand and a bamboo tube in the other and a net bag onto the mud flat, and walked about ten meters forward, jumping fish one by one, frightened by one after another, jumping forward crazily, short In just a few seconds, he had already rushed ten or twenty meters away. It was impossible to catch up with two legs and two hands, and it was impossible to catch the ground. Sitting on the mud horse board with half of his buttocks, he kicked his left leg hard on the ground and slid seven or eight meters away.

"ha!"

"good!"

"It saves effort now."

Zhao Dahai was very happy. It is very laborious to walk on the muddy beach at the seaside. If you are not careful, you will sink in. You will be out of breath after not being able to walk a few steps. Having a mud horse saves a lot of effort.

Zhao Dahai skated the mud horse for a few minutes and became proficient in the operation. He came here not for fun and started working immediately.

The mudflat next to the mangrove is very large, twenty to thirty meters wide, but very long, extending into the mangrove. Such a place is a paradise for jumping fish.

Zhao Dahai hung the mesh bag and bamboo tube on the handle of the mud horse and slowly slid forward, staring at the mud beach carefully while sliding. Although the jumping fish always jumps up and down on the mud flats or water surface, in fact it is a cave dweller and likes to dig holes in the mud flats.

It didn't take much time for Zhao Dahai to find a hole dug by a jumping fish. He took a bamboo tube and put it on the hole, and pressed it down hard. The whole bamboo tube was pressed into the mud, leaving only a hole. He grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it away. At first glance, it looks no different from the original hole of the jumping fish. Generally speaking, jumping fish have two holes, one in front and one in back. After searching, I found that the entrance to the other hole was directly covered by a pile of mud. After placing a bamboo tube, immediately find another jumping fish hole and place another bamboo tube, one after another, and put all the bamboo tubes down.

The sun slowly rises.

The mudflats are getting hotter.

Zhao Dahai gasped heavily. Sweat beads the size of soybeans kept dripping down, as if they cost nothing.

There are a lot of jumping fish on the mudflat in front of the mangrove, and you can find a hole for jumping fish at any time. But after putting all 80 bamboo tubes in, I was very tired.

The price of jumping fish is good.

There are a lot of jumping fish in the mudflats next to the mangroves and even in the mangroves.

But why are few people or even no one caught it?

Could it be that everyone doesn't know that Tiaotiaoyu is worth a lot of money, and they don't know that Tiaotiaoyu can make money by selling it?

Not at all.

Catching jumping fish is very strenuous.

Walking on the mudflats is very strenuous. Even if you have a mud horse, it just saves a little effort, not to say that it is not effortless.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, and skating the mud horse several times around the mudflat where he had put down the 80 bamboo tubes just now, don't drive out from the mangrove forest.

"Hey!"

"Okay! Run and jump!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy to see groups of jumping fish jumping up and down and running away like ghosts. After chasing it hard, I immediately started to collect the bamboo tubes. At this time, we must seize the time.

Zhao Dahai rode a bamboo horse and slid to the side of a bamboo tube, grabbed the bamboo tube and pulled it up, looked at the sunlight above his head, saw something moving underneath, stuffed it into the net bag and shook it a few times, a jumping fish flicked Come out, finger size.

"ha!"

"good."

"It's rewarding!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy.

After the tide ebbs, the jumping fish crawls out of the hole in search of food, and will flee quickly if it is frightened. One is to hide on the top of a mangrove tree or on a stake or on the edge of a reef. The other is that if given the chance, he would go into a hole he dug himself. The bamboo tube occupied the position of the jumping fish's hole, and it was smeared with mud. The panicked jumping fish didn't care to distinguish, just remembered the position of its own hole, and went straight in. Don't fall, one catch one.

Zhao Dahai paddled the bamboo horse, and continued to harvest until he had collected 80 bamboo tubes. The harvest was good, and out of the 80 bamboo tubes, about 60 jumping fish were caught.

Zhao Dahai took the water he brought and drank it in big gulps. After resting for about ten minutes, I continued to put and collect the bamboo tubes, and continued to roll in the mudflat until the sea water rose and submerged the whole mudflat.

Zhao Dahai sat on the sand on the shore and rested for almost half an hour before standing up. He picked up the net bag in the bucket and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

The jumping fish is a good size. The small middle finger looks big and the big one is the size of a thumb. The mudflats on the edge of the mangroves are rich in food and relatively fat. Weighed it, it looked like a full five catties. Sell ​​it to a fishmonger for about 20 or 30 yuan, and sell it directly to Liu Gang at a higher price. Smaller ones of forty or older may even be 50 yuan a catty, and you can earn about 200 yuan.

Hard?

What are you afraid of if you can make money and work hard?

It’s easier to make money if you have a fishing boat, but who says you don’t have a fishing boat? We can only work harder and earn enough money to repair the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai looked at the time. It looked like it was four or five o'clock. He dragged his body exhausted and washed the muddy bamboo tubes in the sea water. That's all for today, and we'll continue tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai returned home and found a large tank. He poured half a bucket of seawater and mud into it, and the jumping fish in the mesh bag. The jumping fish is in muddy water, so it's no problem to feed them for a few days. I plan to catch them for a few more days and sell them in the town.

"Yo!"

"He's back!"

Zhong Cuihua came out of the yard and saw Zhao Dahai who was like a mud monkey, and was very heartbroken.

"Hee hee hee!"

"grandmother."

"Aren't you collecting money to repair fishing boats now? Work harder."

Zhao Dahai smiled. Now I work hard to make money repairing fishing boats. I can earn two to three hundred yuan a day, which is pretty good. No matter how hard it is, I have to grit my teeth.

Zhong Cuihua opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. If you don't have money, you have to work hard. This has been the case for thousands of years.

Zhao Dahai took a shower and changed clothes, drank some water, took a rest, and started cooking dinner. After working for a long time, he was extremely tired. Dinner was very simple, no cooking, washed salty pork belly, cut into half a palm Small and large, put it directly into the rice and cook it together. When the rice is ready, the dishes will be ready at the same time. It doesn't taste very good, but I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, so I can't care so much. The most important thing is that when the rice is big, there will be oil and water in it.

Zhao Dahai finished his meal and went to bed early to catch jumping fish. He was really sleepy and fell asleep.

Zhong Cuihua sat in the main room weaving fishing nets with the lights on until three o'clock in the morning.
