Golden Fishing Village

Every spring, a kind of fish comes to the waters around the Red Ocean. This kind of fish spreads out in large numbers and gathers in swarms. Once it appears, it is overwhelming.

This fish is sardine.

Sardines are offshore warm-water fish and are generally not found in the open sea or ocean. They usually inhabit the middle and upper waters. They are large in number and in large groups, making them easy to catch.

In autumn and winter, because the surface water temperature is lower, sardines will dive into deeper sea areas to recuperate.

In spring, fish gradually emerge from the water and begin to breed. Spring and summer are their breeding periods.

Every Spring Festival, for fishermen, it is not the New Year. It is only when the sardine shoal arrives. This fish shoal is huge and fishermen can have a big harvest.

But catching sardines is not very simple. Indeed, they are warm-blooded fish and like to live in the middle and upper waters. However, as the bottom life in the marine life chain, they also have ways to save their lives. One of them is to hide during the day. At the bottom of the sea, they come to the surface at night to hunt.

Because the visibility is poor at night, it is not easy for fishermen to lower their nets to catch fish. But as the saying goes, you have a good plan and I have a ladder, and it is also said that the devil is as high as a foot and the road is as high as a foot. Fishermen have ways to deal with sardines at night—— Fire boy!

This method of catching sardines was introduced to the north from Guangdong, Guangdong and Taiwan and has a history of hundreds of years. Now it has become a fishing tradition.

In recent years, with the rise of tourism, some fishermen's activities have also become tourist projects, such as the sardine fishing by the fire boys.

Sardines are good things. They grow fast, have strong fecundity, and their meat is tender, high in fat and tastes good.

This kind of fish can be eaten in a variety of ways, including braised in braised sauce, deep-fried, braised in sauce, and stewed dishes. It can also be processed into instant foods such as lamb, fish balls, fish rolls, and fish sausages.

If it is sent to the factory, it can be used to refine fish oil, tannery, soap making and metal smelting. Of course, it can also make fish meal, and it can also be made into top-quality bait for fishing enthusiasts.

Therefore, as long as sardines can be caught in the spring flood, no matter how small the quantity is, they can be sold. Seafood merchants come to purchase them, fishery companies come to purchase them, and factories come to purchase and supply them. The demand is huge.

In addition, fishermen will also select high-quality sardines and sell them to tourists themselves. The price of fresh sardines caught that day is higher than the market because the quality is the best.

Ao Muyang managed the fishery, and others began to prepare the tools needed by the fire boy.

If you want to jump on the fire, you can't use a big boat to drag the net. Of course, you still need to use a big boat. When you go to sea, you use a big boat to tow the small boat, like a long dragon.

At the end of February, the taste of spring has come out here in the Red Ocean, and the sardine schools have also appeared.

In the afternoon, the Dalongtou drove out of the pier, with a series of small boats hanging behind it, including sampans, diesel boats, and various metal speedboats. The revolutionary team was very complicated.

Ao Daguo carefully moved a wooden box out. After opening it, there were pieces of transparent crystals inside, like large pieces of rock candy, and like crystals containing impurities. They were very beautiful.

Ao Mudong reached out to take it, and Ao Daguo reached out and slapped the back of his hand: "Don't touch it, this thing is very dangerous."

"What's the danger?" Ao Mudong said carelessly, "It's just a few pieces of calcium carbide. As long as it doesn't touch water, how can it drip? Can it turn into a bomb and explode?"

Ao Muyang said: "Brother Dong, you'd better be careful. Carbide is not a toy. What's so good about it?"

This is calcium carbide, which is called calcium carbide in some places, a very domineering ore.

Its scientific name is calcium carbide. Its main component is some inorganic compounds. It is white crystal in normal state, and the industrial product is gray-black lump. It reacts violently immediately when it comes into contact with water, generating acetylene and releasing heat.

The main tool used by the fire boy is this kind of crystal. It is dangerous during use. Only the leader who holds the torch can touch it. For safety and insurance, no one else is allowed to touch it.

The fleet goes out to sea, and there are many similar fleets on the sea. One fishing boat after another is connected on the sea, like a giant dragon cruising. The vertical and horizontal posture itself is an attraction.

There are tourists on some fishing boats, especially the fishing boats that go out to sea from the docks in the county and urban areas, which have the most tourists.

Ao Muyang and the others' goal was to catch sardines. There were still too few tourists in Longtou Village, and there were also very few tourists willing to spend money to get on the boat and go out to watch the activities of the Fireman.

The tourists were entertained by Ao Wenchang. Since there were only a few people, he could entertain them himself.

The spring sea breeze warmed up, and Ao Muyang stood on the bow of the boat and watched the sunset. The orange sunset light shone warmly on his body, which was a kind of enjoyment for someone who had just experienced a cold winter.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared on the sea, but the night sky was not very dark. The bright moonlight fell down, illuminating the sea brightly.

The tide surged, the waves fluctuated, everyone could see a silvery white, and what everyone heard was the clear and loud sound of waves hitting the water.

The tourists on the boat were greatly moved by this scene, and they muttered: "There is a bright moon on the sea, and we share this moment with the world."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "The tide of the Spring River reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide."

After hearing the poem he said, the tourist's eyes lit up, he thought for a moment, and then said: "The boat will pass away from now on, and the river and sea will leave the rest of my life!"

Ao Muyang was well prepared and said: "Sir, this poem may not be too sad. I think we have to say it at this time - the clouds in the sky are drooping, and the water in the four seas is standing!"

The tourist applauded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the boat boss is still a lover of Chinese studies."

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "I am a layman who makes a living by the sea. So I learned a few poems about the sea in school and memorized them. I have not touched the threshold of Chinese studies yet."

"Bang bang!" At this time, a fire suddenly lit up on the sea not far away, and the red flames rose into the sky, as if a piece of sea water was burning!

Ao Muyang went there after hearing the sound. Ao Daguo in the cabin leaned out and shouted, "Dragon head, it seems that there are fish schools. Let's go with the brothers!"

The tiger cruised beside the boat as usual. Seeing this, Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "Ignore them and keep going forward."

The fleet sailed for another ten or twenty minutes. The empty sea surface kept making muffled "bang bang" sounds. Looking around, there were fire lights appearing with the sound.

The tiger suddenly accelerated and dived into the water. Ao Muyang immediately waved his hand to signal Ao Daguo to slow down the boat. Then he jumped into the water. The tiger swam back. He sat on the saddle and followed the tiger in the sea to ride the wind and waves.

When the tiger dived into the water, Ao Muyang immediately saw a school of fish in the distance.

Densely packed!

Countless small fish gathered together and chased each other. The number of these fish was countless. He used all his eyes to see that the sea was full of small fish, as if the ocean in front was filled with fish.

A school of sardines appeared!
