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

The sun is like fire.

On the open and unshielded sea, it is as hot as in the oil pan.

"Plop flop!"

…

"Plop flop!"

…

Zhao Dahai shook the bamboo pole, waited for a while, but there was no movement, then knocked it a few more times, but there was still no movement. He looked at the sun in the sky, took out the porridge and salted fish he brought, and ate it. Fishing with a pole is a physical activity. , Should the fishing boat keep moving, every time the bamboo pole has to be pulled up from the sea, find a new place, poke it into the sea again, and shake it, it seems simple, but repeating it many times, not only It's just boring and really drains your energy.

Zhao Dahai gobbled it up. In less than five minutes, he swallowed all the porridge and salted fish. He picked up the fish in the live cabin with a scooping net and smiled. The black snapper he caught in half a day added up, and there must be They weigh fifteen or six pounds, neither big nor small, and come in sizes of three or four. They are very fat, and the hard work is well worth it.

Zhao Dahai rested for half an hour, and continued to change places to continue fishing until almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The harvest in the afternoon was not as good as in the morning, and he only caught four to five catties of fish.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat back to the village wharf. Most of the other fishing boats that went out to sea had already returned early in the morning. Now, many people have come to the fishing boats to prepare for fishing at night or early in the morning. The time when fishing boats come ashore is almost completely different from the time when fishing boats go out to sea.

Zhong Shizhu was arranging the fishing nets on the fishing boat and went out to fish in the early morning. The fishing nets that were put into the sea got caught on the rocks and were damaged a lot. They made no money and suffered a lot of losses. Now they have to repair them as soon as possible.

When Zhong Shizhu heard the sound of the diesel engine, he turned his head and looked over. He recognized Zhao Dahai's fishing boat at a glance. After waiting for a while, he slowly stopped beside his own fishing boat and looked at the fishing rods placed on the deck. He knew This is fishing. I caught twenty kilograms of black snapper, and I felt envious.

"The sea."

"It's better for you to play it safe."

Zhong Shizhu pointed to the fishing net he was mending.

"ha."

"Uncle Shi Zhu."

"You can go fishing with me tomorrow, but don't go out and put out fishing nets."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he threw the anchor into the sea, tied the cable, and fixed the fishing boat.

Zhong Shizhu hesitated and shook his head.

Zhao Dahai smiled and said nothing. He cleaned up the fishing boat, took a bucket, and fetched water from the sea to rinse it twice.

If Zhong Shizhu's fishing nets were hung on the reef, he would definitely not gain much. Not only did he not make money, but he lost a lot of money. But I definitely wouldn’t fish like this.

The cost of fishing is low, and the loss may be smaller. Even if the loss is not much, the fish caught are relatively small and cannot be sold at a good price. The number of fish in the shallow waters fished is relatively small. Today, we can catch more than twenty Jin, one is Zhao Shi who told him some places to catch black sea bream and some places where his father fished. The other is that he is more diligent. If there are no fish in one place, he will immediately change to another place. He will change dozens of places in a day. Most people I really can't bear it.

Zhong Shizhu goes out to sea to set fishing nets. The cost is high and the risk of losing money is high. Sometimes there are no fish, but once the fish is caught, it will be a larger and more valuable fish. One day, he will be lucky and catch a hundred or dozens of kilograms or several thousand. Once you have the money, one or two trips a month is enough. If you are lucky, if you have three or five good harvests, it is easy to make a few thousand. This is what people like Zhong Shizhu do when they go out to sea to fish and gamble.

Zhao Dahai opened the board of the live cabin, fished out all the dead black eagles, which weighed almost two kilograms, and put them in a basket. He fished out the living black sea bream and put them in a bucket and carried them home with the seawater. It was quite late and I couldn’t go to the town to sell fish today. When I got home, I poured the live black sea bream into a big bucket. The oxygenator I bought some time ago was just in use. I will continue to go fishing tomorrow and save up for two days before we go to the town together. Sold on.

Zhao Dahai took a bag, kept half of the dead black snapper, put the other half in a plastic bag, and carried it to his second grandfather Zhao Shi's house. This was his first day at sea, so he sent some fish over to try it out. .

Zhao Dahai sat at Zhao Shi's house for a while and talked about today's fishing. After returning home, he went into the kitchen to cook dinner. It was very simple. He picked a handful of green vegetables from the garden, fried green vegetables and clams in oil, opened the belly and cleaned the black rice. For the snapper, heat up a big iron pan and add a little oil to fry it. Immediately add water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add some salt and some ginger. Put it in a big basin and bring it to the main room together with vegetables and clams. Place it on the table and fry it again. Two bowls of rice.

"grandmother."

"This black snapper may not look big, but it's really fat."

Zhao Dahai took a small plate, put a black snapper on it and placed it in front of Zhong Cuihua.

The fish in the outer sea are larger but thinner, while the fish in the shallow sea are smaller, relatively speaking, the food is richer and fatter.

Zhao Dahai looked at the boiled soup, there was a layer of small yellow oil stars floating, these were all fish oil, only very fatty fish can cook this kind of soup.

Zhong Cuihua asked about today's fishing while eating.

Zhao Dahai said that he will only fish for the next three to five months. One is that he has just started fishing and is not very familiar with the sea conditions, and he is not even very skilled in driving fishing boats. It is safer to fish nearby. The other is that there is nothing to do now Money, if you go fishing, you have to buy fishing nets and gas, etc. The cost is relatively high. If you can’t catch fish for a few days, it’s very troublesome. You don’t make much money from fishing. If you work hard, you can always save some money. It takes three to five months or even a year and a half. Time has a lot of money on hand, and is familiar with the sea conditions in the sea area, and it will not be too late to go to sea. Fishing is most suitable for me now. I dig the sea centipede by myself, but it costs a little money. Three or four black snappers can be sold for about ten yuan a catty. Today, I caught more than 20 catties of fish. Sell ​​it for two to three hundred yuan, and if you take into account the cost, you can earn at least one hundred and fifty yuan. It's not much, but it's safe.

Zhong Cuihua nodded, Zhao Dahai's idea is good, you have to eat every bite, don't keep thinking about making a lot of money.

Zhao Dahai put a fish in the soup, took a bite, the fish was tender and smooth, the fresh fatty fish was really delicious, after taking a sip of the soup, his brows were so sweet, he ate two bowls of rice, and ate a few The black bream drank the soup again, satiated and felt comfortable.

After Zhao Dahai finished his meal, he checked the fishing rod. He caught a lot of fish today, and the lead pendant and hook were worn out a lot, and some of them had to be re-tied. It would be convenient for fishing tomorrow. After finishing this work, take a look The black snapper in the big bucket felt that there was a little bit of sea water, so the two barreled motorcycles went to the beach to fill the sea water and returned it, and poured it into the big bucket. Only then did they feel relieved. This kind of bucket is about one meter high and nearly 80 centimeters in diameter. Every fishing family in Langtou Village has a few of them, and they use them when they catch fish that are too late to sell and need to be fed.
