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

Eleven o'clock noon.

Zhao Dahai packed up his things and walked out of the courtyard. His eyes immediately narrowed. The sun in the sky was very bright and dazzling. It took a few seconds to get used to it.

"This weather is really crazy!"

Zhao Dahai shook his head. The weather was really hot, but he still had to work if he complained. He strode forward with a hoe and a basket, and soon arrived at the pier in front of the village.

"The sea."

"Are you going to dig up blood eels again?!"

Lei Dayou just got off the fishing boat and met Zhao Dahai.

"Yo!"

"We caught a lot of fish last night!"

Zhao Dahai took a look at the fishing net carried on Lei Dayou's shoulder. It was messed up in many places, and some thumb-sized fish scales shone in the sun and could be seen clearly.

"I had good luck on this trip out to sea. I caught a few big fish. There were also some small fish, which together weighed almost two hundred kilograms."

Lei Dayou was very happy and gestured at the size of the fish he caught.

Zhao Dahai watched Lei Dayou walking quickly home with his fishing net. He was very envious. It is good to have a fishing boat. You may not be able to catch fish when you go to sea. Sometimes you can’t even get one or two pounds of small fish after a busy day, but as long as you have a fishing boat, you may not be able to catch fish. There are opportunities when you go to sea. Lei Da caught two hundred kilograms of fish one day. It cost twenty or thirty yuan to buy any currency, so he could get five to six thousand yuan in one go. If he had better luck and caught some good fish, seven Eight thousand or even ten thousand is not impossible.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the dozens or twenty fishing boats parked at the pier, turned around and strode towards the beach where he was digging for blood eels. He already had almost 18,000 yuan in money, and he was trying his best to dig out more blood and earn another 2,000 yuan. Just one yuan is enough to repair the fishing boat, and it won’t take long to drive the fishing boat out to sea for fishing.

Zhao Dahai saw that the tide had receded. He walked around the mangroves and walked to the place where he dug blood eels yesterday. Looking forward, he was a little surprised. There was no one in the entire tidal flat.

No way?

Isn’t there anyone in the village who is excited?

Zhao Dahai was very strange. Yesterday when I returned to the dock, I met people in the village who knew that I had dug a lot of blood eels. I was thinking how many people would come, but I didn't expect this scene.

Zhao Dahai didn't think much about it. It was going to rain. His mother was going to get married. He couldn't control whether the people in the village came or not. He had to seize the time and get started immediately.

Zhao Dahai dug for half an hour. He was soaked all over. He took off the straw hat on his head and fanned the wind several times. It was no use. The air was hot and the wind was hot.

One tide and another fish?

Zhao Dahai frowned. He only dug two blood eels in half an hour. Not only were they few in number, but they were also smaller, both of which were the size of a little finger.

Zhao Dahai was very depressed, thinking about working hard for another day today, digging a little more, and earning 2,000 yuan for repairing fishing boats would be enough. He didn't expect the earth-shaking changes overnight. Disappear.

Zhao Dahai drank a few sips of water, took a rest, cleared his mind, and continued digging. If there were no big ones, he could only dig small ones. If the quantity was not large, he would dig slowly and spend more time. If you dig one, you will earn money. After digging, I found that the big blood eel had not disappeared. It might be due to the influence of high and low tides, or the sea water was relatively mixed and the holes and eyes were not obvious, making it difficult to find.

Zhao Dahai walked forward slowly with wide eyes, carefully staring at the clues on the tidal flats, and soon discovered something.

Zhao Dahai used a hoe to gently push away a layer of sea mud on the surface of the tidal flat, and a very obvious blood eel hole appeared. He started work immediately, dug out a blood eel the size of a thumb in two to three minutes, grabbed it and put it into the bamboo building. Inside the plastic bag, rolled up the mouth, pressed down a bit, stretched out his hand and scratched in the dug out sea mud twice, grabbed two razor clams, threw it back in the bamboo basket, and it was another delicious meal.

"good!"

"Ichijo is really good-sized!"

…

"ha!"

"There are still big blood eels!"

…

Zhao Dahai's mood is getting better and better. Today's big blood eel's hole or eyes are rather blurred, and it's hard for inexperienced people to find it. Most people think that it's just mud with a little water in the tidal flat at low tide, no matter where it is, it's not the same thing. After careful observation, we can find that the mounds in some places are protruding, and blood eel mucus will be left in some places. However, it is not easy to see it and find it. Not many people with fishing experience can have this kind of ability. I can find the experience passed down from my father.

Zhao Dahai walked six or seven meters forward, and found another hole for a big blood eel. He didn't dig it right away, but turned his head to look at a person two or three meters away. Be careful, don't look at this tidal flat is not far from my village, but this is not a village, anyone can come and dig their own blood eels, no matter whether others dig clams or razors, or simply dig blood eels, I don't care, but , The man got closer and closer. At the beginning, he was dragging behind for about ten meters, then seven or eight meters, and now it is three or four meters. He kept his eyes on the place he was looking for, especially the whole process of digging carefully.

Steal a teacher!

Zhao Dahai immediately understood what was going on.

Don't just look at the blood eels in the tidal flats. When the sea water recedes, you can dig them out with a hoe, but the difference in how much effort and time it takes to dig them is huge. In the same place, some people can dig a few kilograms during low and high tides, while others can only dig three to five pieces. If no one teaches you, you just can’t figure it out! With this ability, a hoe is enough to support a family.

"Why are you so close!?"

"I'm in charge of your business?"

Zhao Dahai was not polite and glared at him. This guy is not his son or grandson, and I am not his father or grandfather, so why should I treat him well?

Lin Jingcheng came here today because he wanted to dig some razor clams or clams to sell them for some money. As soon as he came, he saw Zhao Dahai digging blood eels. He didn't pay attention at first. There were quite a few blood eels in this place. People dug them from time to time. He didn't have this. I didn't care much about my ability, but when I saw the big guys digging one after another, I was jealous and couldn't help but want to see how Zhao Dahai dug. If I learned a few tricks, wouldn't I be able to make money digging blood eels? This is much more profitable than digging clams and razor clams.

broken!

This is found!

Lin Jingcheng's face was on fire. He paused, not daring to continue walking. Blood eels are not something you can just dig out with a hoe. You need some skills. In this fishing village, any fishing skills and fishing locations include watching the tide. These are all passed down by word of mouth, and are important matters related to money and food. It is a skill to learn from a distance. To follow closely like this is to violate the biggest taboo in fishing villages.

Zhao Dahai dug up a blood eel, another big one, and put it into a plastic bag in a bamboo basket. He continued to move forward and continued digging. He had made his attitude clear. Forget it if this person didn't follow him. Keep following him. Don't blame yourself for not following him. polite.
