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

"mom!"

"How can you always look down on others?"

Ding Xiaoxiang curled her lips, originally thinking not to talk back, but for some reason, she heard that Zhao Dahai was a poor boy, and she couldn't help it.

"Isn't it true?"

"What happened?"

"My daughter is good-looking, and your father and I can make money. How can you marry a poor boy?"

Zhang Li became even more angry when she heard that Ding Xiaoxiang was protecting Zhao Dahai.

When Ding Xiaoxiang saw this, she rolled her eyes a few times and thought of a way.

"mom!"

"I just looked at it, and the mussels on the motorcycle weighed three hundred kilograms. They were all big!"

…

"The bucket was hanging on the handlebar. I took a look and saw that it seemed to be an orchid crab. It looked like it weighed twenty or thirty pounds."

…

"It's very early now. Zhao Dahai will definitely go to the sea again! In one day, he will probably have to haul 800 kilograms of mussels!"

…

"If you really accept it, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

…

"such a pity!"

"Zhao Dahai doesn't want to sell at all!"

"Go back home, work harder, peel the meat and dry it into dried products. This will make more money than selling fresh products!"

…

Zhang Li was fuming, Ding Xiaoxiang did it on purpose, but what she said was true, so she could only stare.

Ding Xiaoxiang was secretly proud of herself, but she obediently shut up after talking for a while, she was really angry with her mother, she must suffer, so enough is enough.

Zhao Dahai's motorcycle stopped at the gate of the yard, and he untied the rope. The two large net bags of mussels on the back seat were carried into the yard, followed by two large baskets.

Zhong Cuihua came out after hearing the sound, and was startled when she saw so many mussels.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, poured a bowl of water and drank it in big gulps.

"Why!"

"The sea."

"Does this weigh three to four hundred pounds?"

"Are you planning to cook it all and dry it?!"

Zhong Cuihua picked up the mussels that fell on the ground in the yard, they were really big.

Zhao Dahai gave a thumbs up, what he said is correct, this is his plan. If it weighs one hundred and eighty kilograms, it definitely won't take this much effort. The difference between selling fresh goods and drying them is not much different. But this time I have to lift about three hundred kilograms. After a few more trips, I will have to weigh seven hundred or eight hundred kilograms or even one thousand kilograms. It's a little harder. You can make more money by drying it in the sun. I am short of money now, so every extra point is worth it. Hard? Don't worry about it at all.

"grandmother."

"It's still early."

"I will continue to go into the sea right now, and I estimate that I can pull at least three more times."

"These mussels have to be boiled as soon as possible, and they can be dried well while they are fresh, but you don't have to work so hard, you can cook as much as you can."

"correct."

"I caught 20 to 30 catties of orchid crabs. Now hurry up and sell them in the town. Don't die, it's worthless."

Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank the water in one gulp, packed up the basket and mesh bag and put them on the back seat of the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, and immediately rushed to the town, where Liu Gang sold orchid crabs , and hurried back to the village, did not go home, went directly to the sea.

Zhong Cuihua walked into the kitchen. There was water in the big iron pot and a small dustpan filled with mussels. It weighed about five kilograms. If it was too heavy, it couldn't be carried. Time after time, an iron pot was filled and the fire started. Open, all opened, and then used a small dustpan to fish out again and again, spread it out to dry, and immediately continued to cook another pot, busy.

The sun began to set in the west.

Zhao Dahai held a large mesh bag containing more than 100 kilograms of mussels with both hands and placed it on the back seat of the motorcycle. He gasped for air. He had done it three times and now this was his fourth time. Every trip, I rushed back as quickly as possible to unload, and I had to seize the time to get into the sea. When the point was reached, I immediately picked up the mussels with an iron rake, which consumed a lot of physical strength.

Zhao Dahai rested for about ten minutes and recovered a little physical strength before he rode his motorcycle back to the village.

"Is this kid Zhao Dahai crazy?!"

Zhong Shizhu stood up, squatting for several hours to pull mussels with an iron rake, and his waist was a little unbearable.

"It's nice to be young."

“I don’t feel tired at all when I work!”

Liu Bin hammered his thigh. The place where Zhao Dahai was raking mussels was not far from him and Zhong Shizhu. He could see clearly and his hands and feet were nimble. He could dig two to three hundred kilograms in less than an hour. After working with Zhong Shizhu for a while, stopping to smoke a cigarette and drink saliva, a few hours later, the mussels in the net bag could not support more than a hundred catties.

"Why!"

"What did you say?!"

"Could you have Zhao Dahai's body when you were young?!"

Lei Dayou laughed. Whether it's in the sea or in the fields, you don't have to work hard. Without a body like this, you can't do it even if you want to. Not to mention anything else, I was holding more than a hundred kilograms of mussels in my hands and placing them on the motorcycle. I had no strength and it was absolutely impossible. I might twist my waist, so I didn’t dare to do it.

"Who said it wasn't?!"

"With a body like this, I can support my family even if I work hard."

Zhong Shizhu nodded. Zhao Dahai is about 1.8 meters tall and as strong as a calf. One person can do the work of several people. This is God's gift of food. There is no room for reasoning about things born in nature.

"You're a small mussel."

"Two dollars and fifty cents a pound!"

…

"What's going on?!"

"It's not washed at all, it's all muddy water."

…

"Three dollars and a pound."

"Aren't there a few people collecting them there?!"

"If you think my price is low, you might as well go there and have a look."

…

Zhang Li was sharp-tongued and kept talking like a machine gun. People kept picking up mussels ashore. It was the prime time for business, and more and more mussels were collected.

Ding Xiaoxiang helped out and negotiated the price, but this process, after finishing the accounts, counting the money and paying, was too busy.

The sun sets.

The sea breeze blows over, bringing the sun to bask in the heat all day long.

Ding Xiaoxiang took the water glass and handed it to Zhang Li.

Zhang Li drank gulps of water and worked for almost three hours without stopping at all. Not to mention drinking water, she didn't even have time to take a breath.

“We’ll get a lot more this year!”

Zhang Li was very happy, the mussels on the tarpaulin looked like a hill.

"Can there not be too much?"

"There must be six or seven thousand pounds here."

"I have already pulled a cart back. It is estimated that the total weight is about 10,000 catties."

Ding Xiaoxiang held her own water glass and drank small sips of water, beads of sweat popping out one by one from her little face flushed.

"Do you know why?"

"We came early this year and took up a good place. No matter who comes up from the sea, they have to pass in front of us. We have more opportunities than others."

Zhang Li was very proud. Today, I am not the only one who comes here to buy mussels. There are more than ten companies in total. The price I offer is no higher than others. Sometimes it is even lower than others. I get more than others. It is just to occupy the advantageous location. Others It seems that there is a slight difference between my stall and others, but the business is completely different.

"Why!"

"Did you even listen to me?"

Zhang Li talked for a long time but did not respond. She looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and found that she was looking forward with wide eyes. She turned around and saw Zhao Dahai.
