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

Zhao Dahai looked left and right. He was the first to come back. After about ten minutes, he was still the only one. He waited for almost half an hour, almost close to five o'clock, before people came back one after another.

fishing boat?

It had just appeared at this time and had not had time to dock.

Zhao Dahai realized that he was really too young.

When the ship boss sent these people here in the morning, he said four o'clock and he thought it was really four o'clock. It was already past four o'clock or even close to five o'clock.

After waiting for a full hour, if it had been like this, if I continued to hook the snails, I could get an extra twenty kilograms, which would cost two to three hundred yuan.

"Yo!"

"Come back so early?"

…

"ah!"

"This weighs more than a hundred catties!"

…

"A piece of this size costs at least fifteen yuan per catty, and may be sold for seventeen or eighty yuan, and you can make a little over two thousand yuan in a day."

…

Zhao Dahai found that there was something wrong with the way everyone looked at him.

Who told me to hook so many snails on my first trip to the island?

Others weigh as little as ten or twenty kilograms or no more than thirty kilograms, and they are carried back in a small mesh bag. I can only carry two large mesh bags alone, which weigh more than 100 kilograms together, so I can only carry them on a shoulder pole.

A dozen or twenty kilograms of oyster snails or bitter snails cost only 200 yuan but not more than 300 yuan.

The weather is exposed to wind and sun, plus the right tide every month, and it lasts for ten or eight days, and it is impossible to gain more than ten or twenty kilograms every day, let alone thirty kilograms. On average, ten kilograms a day is pretty good. . Over a month is an income of thousands of yuan.

Now I hook more than 100 catties a day. He really became the most beautiful boy in the audience.

"ha!"

"Don't come here tomorrow, let the men at home come!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and pointed in the direction of his hook.

Why can you hook so many? There is really no skill. If you can climb the reef, walk further, and go where there are fewer people, you can get better results.

The girls and wives who went to the island together today were all women. They were not strong enough and courageous enough, so they only walked in places that they often walked. I come ten or eight times a month, and it's good to have three or five catties. Ten or eight catties is great luck. Not to mention that dozens of people gathered in one place and could only drink soup. It was even harder to eat meat.

"Yo."

"You didn't say a word this morning. What are you waiting for here?"

…

"Why!"

“It’s good if you can make money!”

"Isn't it the same thing when men fuck women?"

…

Zhao Dahai made two trips back and forth, carrying two big bags of snails to the boat. In the morning, these girls and wives were teasing him about a man who went to the island among them to hook up with snails. Now he must have a reply, but he said it without saying anything else. I only have one mouth, but there are twenty or thirty mouths around me. They share the same hatred and the same enemy, so they are definitely no match. I will give up when I get along. However, there will definitely be a man coming to the island tomorrow to hook up with the conch.

These older girls and younger wives know that the only way to catch so many snails is to go further, and they can't go there. They will definitely tell the men at home about this when they go back tonight. Snails weighing three to five kilograms or ten kilograms a day are not taken lightly, but a hundred or dozens kilograms is another matter.

Who wouldn’t be greedy if he could earn 1,800 yuan a day?

Chen Fang looked at the two big bags of conches at Zhao Dahai's feet, and her mood was a little complicated. In the morning, she thought that Zhao Dahai had no experience in taking them with him when he went to the island for the first time. Unexpectedly, he hooked more conchs than he did by the end of the day. Taking a look at the direction Zhao Dahai went in the morning, he made up his mind to let the men in his family go to the island tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai returned to the village pier and walked home with a bucket. The oysters and snails, including the blue crab, had been sold, leaving only four or five kilograms of smaller snails, which were sold directly to fishing boats. The boss of the island's ship has a currency of sixteen yuan per catty, which is one or two yuan lower than the market price, but it saves me a special trip to the town tomorrow. I can accept it. The total is one hundred and twenty-five catties and three taels, so I can make a profit. Two thousand and fourty-eight cents was really good, but if it hadn't been for the densely packed nest of oysters and snails that I happened to encounter at the end, I would have only made a little more than half of it.

Zhao Dahai went to his second grandfather Zhao Shi's house. He said a few words and left two kilograms of bitter snails before heading back to his house. When he returned, it was almost seven o'clock and it was already dark. He put down the bucket and pole and washed them. With hands and feet, I started to make food. The rice was already cooked. After a busy day, there was nothing too particular. I picked a handful of vegetables from the vegetable garden, washed two or three kilograms of small snails, stir-fried the vegetables with oil, and cut the snails into slices and boiled them with ginger. , within twenty minutes, both dishes were good. There were too many bugs if the lights were turned on in the yard. The table was set up in the main room, the food was served, and dinner began.

When Zhong Cuihua heard that she had made two thousand yuan in one day, she knew that when she went to the island, she must have gone to a remote place. She said that she must be careful and make money if she can. Some money cannot be made, so don't force it.

Zhao Dahai nodded and agreed. Going out to sea to make money will definitely involve facing dangers. Zhong Cuihua has a lifetime of experience and understands this matter. She was worried but did not stop herself. She just reminded to pay attention to safety.

Zhao Dahai finished dinner and went to bed early. When he went out to the pier at three o'clock the next morning, it was very lively. There were more than twice as many people as yesterday. At first glance, he knew it was a husband and wife team or his brothers. coming.

Zhao Dahai laughed secretly in his heart. Yesterday, these big girls and young wives were saying that going to the island to hook snails was a job for women, but today they didn't think so.

Zhao Dahai went out to sea in a fishing boat and went to the island yesterday. However, at the end of the day, he didn't hook many snails. The total amount was less than 15 pounds. The tide was not as good as yesterday. The snails were small in size. There were many people on the island, so he found that he couldn't hook them. Many snails immediately looked for blue crabs, but the season was not yet here, and there were not many blue crabs in the stone crevices on the island. In half a day, they only found two, and they were both small. One or two could not be sold without enough money to sell them, so they had to be released.

Zhao Dahai went on a boat and sold the snails, earning less than 200 yuan. The villages on the seaside were all palm-sized places. If something happened, especially who made more money where, the news spread like wings, and everyone swarmed. Come on, this is what happened with Gouluo. There are many people today and there will be more people tomorrow. There are many people on every island. They don't make much money and decide not to go to the island tomorrow.

After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, he went out with a gas lantern. He had been busy catching snails for the past two days, and now he had to go and see how the boat was doing. He just passed through the forest and saw a light near the fishing boat. He quickly walked closer and saw what it was like. Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi saw Zhao Dahai and said that he could apply tung oil tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai decided to go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy tung oil and start working on it when he came back. He had to work several times and seize the time to repair the fishing boat earlier.

A new round of PK is coming! The challenge is even greater! Please follow up and vote for support! Thanks!

Starting today, we will adjust the updates. Instead of splitting time, we will update two chapters in succession in the early morning.
