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

Zhao Dahai returned to the village, kept one fish for himself, and gave the rest to Zhao Shi, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were very envious when they heard that they had earned more than a thousand yuan. It was much better than staying at home. However, tomorrow the fish rafts must be full of people. Even if they went there, they would not be able to catch Many, artificially bred red drum fish are not a valuable commodity. You can’t make any money from just three or five fish, so I gave up after thinking about it and continued to stay at home.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, he didn't eat at noon. He ate early in the evening and started cooking before five o'clock in the afternoon. A large fish is cut in half, one half is eaten now and the other half is salted.

The fish meat of red drum fish is relatively woody and has no taste. There is only one way to make it delicious - braised in soy sauce. The cooking method is very simple. Put the drum fish meat down and fry until browned. Boil large pieces of ginger with garlic, water, soy sauce and salt, and simmer over high heat for twenty minutes.

Zhao Dahai lifted the lid, there was a lot of juice left in the pot, soaked in fish pieces, it smelled very good, the vegetables in the vegetable garden grew rapidly every day, and it was impossible to eat them all, one fish and one vegetable were added with rice, Get a round belly.

After Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, the other half of the salted red drum fish was put out to dry. When it was dried, it was a salted fish. He could eat it anytime he wanted. When he went out for a trip, he spent 30 yuan on the discharge fee and made a thousand dollars. Three hundred yuan, I brought some fish back to give away, and I had a full meal. It was a very good deal.

Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Cuihua walking towards the back of the yard with a small bowl of leftovers, and followed. The family raised chickens, and the leftovers that could not be saved until tomorrow were not wasted.

Zhong Cuihua didn't approach the chicken coop. The chickens inside had already rushed out in a swarm. They had been fed over the past few days and she knew there was something to eat at a glance.

Zhao Dahai took a look and saw that the chicks he bought were different every day, and were almost twice as big as the ones he had just bought. Several young roosters have begun to grow wings, and their combs are different from other chickens.

"grandmother."

“There’s no need to buy chickens during the Chinese New Year.”

Zhao Dahai estimated that the growth rate of these chicks would definitely be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year in a few months.

"This chick looks good."

…

“I’ll definitely be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year.”

…

"Leave two pullets and a rooster to lay eggs that can hatch chicks and raise them next year."

…

Zhong Cuihua watched the chickens grabbing food and muttered.

Zhao Dahai walked into the vegetable garden, the longer the green vegetables, the better, the whole slices were all there, looking green, it was very gratifying, the cucumber and loofah were as big as a child's arm, and the beans were as long as chopsticks, three to five I can eat in one day, stroll around to the corner, unscrew the faucet and drag the hose to water the vegetables, and the lychee and longan fruit trees planted next to it can’t be forgotten. These are the fruits of grandma Zhong Cuihua’s great-grandson, so they must be taken care of .

After Zhao Dahai finished watering the vegetables, he plucked the old vegetable leaves from the vegetable field and threw them into the chicken coop to feed the chickens.

Night falls.

The fishing village suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Dahai was sitting on a stool, wondering whether he should buy a TV or at least a radio. There was a sound when grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving a fishing net. As soon as she opened her mouth, she shook her head and said it would not cost the money.

Zhao Dahai didn't continue talking about this matter, and made up his mind to see what he wanted to buy when he walked around the town one day. This matter had to be dealt with first and later.

The sun hangs high in the sky, and the white flowers are so thorny that I can't keep my eyes open.

The sea was calm.

Not a breath of wind.

Zhao Dahai took the fishing rod, pulled it back one meter and stopped. After waiting for a few minutes and there was no movement, he pulled it back another meter. The white-headed waves have lasted for a full five days. Early this morning, the fishing boats at the pier, whether they were fishermen or fishermen, could no longer bear it. They all rushed out immediately regardless of the time they went out to sea.

no fish!

Not a single fish!

Zhao Dahai took back the string hook. The sea centipede hanging on the hook was intact. He replaced it with a fresh one. He moved the fishing boat and chose a new position to throw it out. After fifteen minutes, he took it back very helplessly.

no fish!

Again no fish!

It was almost twelve o'clock now, and not a single sand pointed fish was caught all morning.

Zhao Dahai lowered his head and looked at the sea next to the boat. There was no wind or waves, and it was very calm. However, the water was very turbid, like yellow mud soup, and the bottom was like this with sand, let alone other places.

Zhao Dahai vaguely heard someone cursing. He looked up and saw that about ten meters to his left, there was a fishing boat cursing and greeting God and the Sea Dragon King. It was all people who went out to sea to fish or catch fish before dawn in the early morning. The mainstay of the family, the old and the young are all waiting for dinner, and the pressure is very high. It is unbearable to catch fish.

Zhao Dahai glanced around and saw a dozen fishing boats like him that came here to fish for sand pointed fish. Not only did he not catch any fish, but these fishing boats also didn't catch any fish.

what to do?

There is nothing you can do!

Able to hold on bravely!

The sun was setting.

Zhao Dahai returned to the village pier. The fishing boats that went out to sea early in the morning came back one after another. They parked the fishing boats and turned around. Especially the fishing boats of the familiar Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou. All of them had no fish, and the pier was full of curses.

Zhao Dahai packed up the fishing boat, washed the deck with sea water, and went home to eat and sleep. He didn't catch any fish, didn't make any money, and was in no mood at all.

Zhao Dahai opened his eyes at three o'clock in the morning, couldn't sleep anymore, got up and cooked breakfast, packed up and went out, went to the pier and looked at the sea water, the miracle didn't happen, the sea water was almost as cloudy as yesterday, there must be no fish.

Zhao Dahai got into the fishing boat, started the diesel engine and drove out, whether there were fish or not, there might be a chance to go out, but there was no chance at all staying at home. However, after half a day, he found that sleeping at home was more cost-effective, and going to sea only cost fuel The work is hard and there is no chance to make money at all.

Zhao Dahai stood up and moved his right hand. He has been throwing and collecting hooks non-stop for the past two days. There is nothing to talk about if there are fish. No matter how tired or sore it is, it is worth it, but there are really no fish.

After eating his lunch, Zhao Dahai looked at the two small finger-sized sand tip fish in the live cabin, drove the fishing boat away, and arrived at the sea area where the black bream was caught by shaking the stake in about an hour.

"Plop flop!"

…

"Plop flop!"

…

"Plop flop!"

…

Zhao Dahai shook the bamboo pole with his left hand, and knocked on the wood on the side of the boat, making a rhythmic sound. He held the fishing pole in his right hand, and his eyes were fixed on the pole.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sun hanging in the west, almost falling into the sea.

You can’t catch the sand tip fish, and you can’t catch the black fish by shaking the pile.

Another day's work has been in vain.
