Golden Fishing Village

Surrounding the old boat wood, four old twisters talked to Xu Nan.

In a port city with a long history like Hongyang, old wooden boats are not uncommon, especially twenty or thirty years ago, when the country’s economy began to boom and a large number of large modern fishing boats with ocean-going capabilities were put into use. Some old wooden boats Fishing boats began to be scrapped.

This type of ship itself is relatively old, usually more than 60 years old, and more often hundreds of years. A wooden ship can sail for hundreds of years, which shows how outstanding its material is.

However, since the wooden boat is to be scrapped, it must be almost in tatters. Otherwise, the fishermen can repair it by a twister and go to sea for a while to earn some money.

The sides and decks of the dilapidated wooden boats have been soaked in sea water for many years and have long been changed beyond recognition. They look like pieces of rotten wood.

This kind of wood has low value and is difficult to handle. Twisters will take the opportunity to purchase it. After careful polishing and repair, the beauty of old ship wood is revealed.

Cheng Dajin showed Xu Nan the two sculptures in his hand. They were both made of old ship wood. The surface had a dark brown ravine texture that seemed to have been burned by fire, and there were irregular rivet holes.

These rivet holes greatly reduced the value of the wood, but they were put to good use in his hands. In the wood carving of Panlong Panzhu, he carved the dense rivet holes around them and turned them into dragon scales; In the wood carving of Jin Chan looking into the sky, because there were very few rivet holes, he made the rivet holes into the eyes and mouth of Jin Chan.

Old ship wood has experienced hundreds of years of maritime storms. It has a rough temperament and a strong sense of vicissitudes. The wood carvings made in this way are particularly flavorful.

"If the wood is bigger, we actually prefer to make tea tables, tea stools, benches, chairs and dining tables. Their wood is good, and the things they make are particularly strong. Because they are old wood after all, so they are naturally With a simple atmosphere," Chen Dongwa said.

Xu Nan asked: "According to you, a twister not only twists boats, but can also develop a side business of wood carving, right?"

Chen Xuedong grinned and said: "My opponent, there are much fewer wooden ships now than before, but every once in a while some old wooden ships will be scrapped. As long as you are willing to take jobs everywhere and have connections, someone will notify you wherever a ship is scrapped. It won’t cost you much to tow the boat away. If you go back and carve it yourself, you can cultivate your sentiments and sell it for some money. That’s great.”

While they were chatting, Jiang Xue focused on the clothes of the old twisters.

These sets of clothes have embroidery patterns and look quite exquisite. She said to Ao Muyang: "Village chief, later we can do a video program on the traditional costumes of fishermen. Now fans are still very interested in fishermen culture. "

Ao Muyang said: "That's okay. Let Director Jiang contact the elders in the village for you. They have many stories about these costumes."

"Besides this kind of big-breasted shirt and long trousers, what other traditional fishermen's clothing are there?" Jiang Xue turned to ask Jiang Xiaoyu.

Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "The big-breasted shirt and trousers are the basics, and there is also a back sheet - it is not the one used to cover the quilt, it is a kind of coat. In the past, our fishermen used to wear cotton back sheets in winter and jackets in spring and autumn." Single, wear single and carry single in summer.”

"Big-breasted shirts, long trousers and back singlets are men's items. Fishermen's women wear other things. There are three main items: headscarves, rags, and horizontal-breasted shirts. In the past, old women wore black and white headscarves, and young people wore flowered headscarves. When I got married, my parents-in-law gave me several beautiful flower headscarves as a dowry..."

There is nothing going on here with Ao Muyang. He said to Du Xingyi: "Old Du, I will withdraw first. You can have more contact with the twister masters and let them slowly adapt to the camera, and then you can shoot the video."

Du Xingyi laughed softly and said: "This is already being filmed, here."

He pursed his lips towards Su Chenglong's position, and Ao Muyang saw that the video recorder that Su Chenglong seemed to be holding casually in his hand was actually steadily pointed at Xu Nan and the old twister.

Earlier, when Xu Nan snapped his fingers and said to turn off the video recorder, he was actually sending a signal to Su Chenglong to allow him to conduct covert filming.

Ao Muyang suddenly realized that everything would go more smoothly this way.

He left the dock and returned home. The fishing ban period was the most relaxing time for him. The fishing boats in the village stopped going to sea. Every household concentrated on entertaining tourists, which saved him a lot of things.

After two days of leisure, he felt a little bored, so he found something to do for himself.

First, he reprimanded Lao Jia, who was making mutton oil cakes. Lao Jia discovered that there were sheep on the mountain. When he learned that the sheep were wild goats, he became greedy and went to the mountain to set a trap to capture these goats.

In the end, instead of trapping the goat, it trapped a child running on the mountain. The child's parents were very angry. After dismantling the trap, they followed the trap and found him making a scene at the door of his house.

Ao Muyang warned Lao Jia to sell mutton cakes honestly, and he was not allowed to catch chickens, ducks, rabbits, wild boars or goats on the mountain.

Lao Jia was not convinced, so Ao Muyang patted the table at the door of his store and said, "These are the rules of the village. If you are not willing to abide by them, then you can go back to your old alley."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jia became depressed. Although he came to the village not long ago, the actual sales made him understand the consumption potential of Longtou Village. He could make more money by staying in this village. How could he be willing to leave?

After finishing this matter, Ao Muyang then thought about the wild animals roaming in the mountains.

There are many wild vegetables and grasses suitable for livestock on Dalong Mountain. It is not because the local area is beautiful, but mainly because the village started to spread seeds of wild vegetables and high-quality grasses on the mountain last year. These things are easy to raise and grow in the wind. This year, there are many more wild vegetables and grasses than before.

These things cannot be wasted. He thinks the village can raise some livestock on the mountain.

But it is boring to raise ordinary cattle, sheep and pigs. After watching CCTV's agricultural and military channels for a while, he found a good project, raising small fragrant pigs.

The small fragrant pig is a breed that has been domesticated by ethnic minorities in the southwest area for a long time. It is small in size and usually has to be slaughtered at 40 to 50 kilograms. It has the characteristics of thin skin, thin bones, tender meat and delicious taste.

In addition, he observed that the small fragrant pig is also delicate. It can be kept clean when it is raised on the mountain. In this way, it can be raised as a pet for tourists to see. If tourists like it, they can wait until it is fat and slaughter it for tourists to eat.

He told the village cadres about this idea, and several people looked at him as if he was seeing something supernatural, with the subtext being: Are you afraid that there is a ghost in your head?

Ao Muyang said unhappily: "What are you looking at? Is my suggestion not good?"

Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Village chief, we are all fishermen. Our ancestors have been fishing for generations. We know about fish farming, but we don't know about pig farming. We are not good at it."

"That's right, it's like a robber doing something fraudulent. It's not professional." Ao Daguo echoed.
