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

Zhao Dahai took the bamboo tube, weighed it, pressed his hands, and felt happy. He brought the mouth of the bamboo tube to his eyes, squinted and saw an octopus hiding inside.

"ha!"

"A good start!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy.

Octopuses naturally like to drill holes, including rocks, holes, glass bottles, and any place with holes. The octopus tube takes advantage of this characteristic. If it is placed on the bottom of the sea where there are octopuses, the octopus will definitely dig in when it finds it.

Zhao Dahai took a bucket and put it in front of him. He turned the bamboo tube upside down and knocked it twice. An octopus slowly slipped out and fell into the bucket. The octopus has a long sucker and cannot be shaken hard when it enters the bamboo tube. If it is frightened, it will die. If it sucks hard and can't be pulled out, give it a few gentle knocks. If it doesn't come out, don't force it. Put it upside down and it will crawl out on its own after a while.

Zhao Dahai continued to pull the rope, and a string of octopus tubes were pulled up. Twenty bamboo tubes caught eight octopuses.

Zhao Dahai was very excited.

The efficiency of catching octopus in an octopus tube is not high. If you want to have a better harvest, you need to keep it for a longer time. It is common to keep it for two or three days or even a week.

I came today just to collect two or three bunches to see if there were any octopus. If not, I would collect the remaining ones in a few days. I didn't expect that in just one day and one night, there would be such a harvest. There may be many octopuses on this seabed.

Zhao Dahai was full of energy, and continued to collect string after string with quick hands and feet. He collected all fifty strings, poured the octopus out, stopped the fishing boat and rearranged it. The octopus has its own territory, and there cannot be two octopuses in the same place. The second time, I had to re-select a place with current and drive the fishing boat down.

"Boom!"

Zhao Dahai picked up the last string of stones tied to the octopus bucket and threw it into the sea. The splash sprayed on his face. He didn't care at all. He wiped it, picked up the kettle and drank a lot of water.

Zhao Dahai lifted the plastic bucket in front of him with both hands. Most of the bucket was full of octopuses, and the top ones almost crawled out.

There were seven or eight octopus tubes in each string, and there were five or six in small ones. The total number of octopuses caught was three hundred, which together weighed at least twenty kilograms, maybe close to thirty kilograms.

The price of these octopuses is not particularly high. The purchase price of one pound is about 20 yuan, so you can get it for 500 to 600 yuan.

Zhao Dahai took a net cage, poured all the octopuses into it, tied the mouths, soaked them in the living cabin, and collected them again tomorrow before selling them together.

The sky started to get brighter, and the sun was bright red and not dazzling at all.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and left without going home. He had already made money today, but who could refuse to make more money and continue fishing.

Zhao Dahai threw the anchor into the sea, parked the fishing boat, and looked at the two small islands about a hundred meters away. They were all covered with small rocks. Today's sea water is not as muddy as the previous few days, but as long as it is not clear, there will be no fish. It would be a fool to continue to catch sand tips or black bream.

Zhao Dahai tied a string of three hooks and hung a sea centipede cut into small sections. He put it on the side of the boat and went directly to the seabed. After shaking it up and down three or five times, a fish immediately bit it.

One!

Two!

Three!

Zhao Dahai reeled in the line and pulled the fish out of the water. Three small fish, as red as the big toe, were hanging on it and spinning around. They were all Shi Jiugong.

The muddy water means there are no fish!

There must be some!

Just look at the size and value of money.

Fish like Shi Jiugong don't carry water. They find the right place where there are rocks, one after another, there are many!

Why don't the other fishermen or fishermen come? Small and worthless. The fish I just caught cost about five yuan per pound. Some time ago, the ones caught in the east end of the village were only worth a little money, but there were very few fish of this size. Offshore and shallow seas are things that can be encountered but not sought after.

Who doesn’t want to drive a motorcycle? Everyone wants to catch big fish and catch big fish!

But isn't there no motorcycles now? Bikes are nice too, aren't they?

So what if the fish is small and worthless?

As long as you can sell it for money!

If quality is not enough to make up for quantity, if you work hard and catch ten or twenty kilograms a day, won't you get enough money for gas and food?

It's better than spending a whole day without catching a few sand tip or black bream, right?

People must be honest!

There are big fish making big money, but there are no big fish making small money.

You really can’t choose!

Zhao Dahai picked off the fish and threw two into the live cabin. One took a knife, cut it into small pieces, hooked it up, and released it into the sea. He continued to fish for Shi Jiugong, who killed his own kind, so it was very useful.

Zhao Dahai fished for about ten minutes and found that there were a lot of Shi Jiugong. He decisively changed the string hooks with six hooks and pulled five or six fish in a long string. He fished for almost half an hour before there were no more fish mouths. After leaving a place, he started to go crazy again.

crazy!

Shi Jiugong in the sea is really crazy!

3pm.

Zhao Dahai decided to go home. I got up at three o'clock in the morning. It has been twelve hours now. First I pulled the octopus tube, and then I kept fishing for Shi Jiugong. I was a little tired. The most important thing was that the sun was too strong and the water temperature in the live cabin was a bit high. , The octopus is easy to die, so I decided to go home early.

Zhao Dahai returned to the pier. All the fishing boats that went out to sea in the early morning or in the morning to put fishing nets for fishing were parked. There was no one on the deck. The weather was too hot. He was worried that the octopus would die, so he packed up the fishing boats, two buckets, and one Only the bucket contained octopus, and the other bucket contained Shijiugong. Each of the two large baskets was placed on the rack on the back seat of the motorcycle. I drove directly home and pushed it into the yard. The village was quiet and there was no one else. meet.

Zhao Dahai picked up the cage containing the octopus and put it into a large bucket filled with sea water. He turned on the oxygen machine and waited for a while to test the water temperature. It was a little high. He put a piece of ice in and all the ice melted. , the water was a bit cold, and the octopus slowly regained its vitality and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Cuihua heard the sound of the oxygen machine, walked over, looked down at the octopus in the cage, and smiled.

"grandmother!"

"Older gingers are more spicy!"

"There are so many octopuses!"

"Put it down again!"

Zhao Dahai took a foam box, put a layer of ice stones on the bottom, drained the water and put it in. Then he spread the ice layer by layer and laid the fish. Without weighing it, it weighed no less than thirty kilograms and was worth one hundred and fifty yuan. Octopus is a valuable commodity. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is not a fishing expert. She has lived in a fishing village all her life and has heard and seen a lot and has rich experience.

"Hehehe!"

"It's quite a lot indeed."

"It's a pity that I can't let it go for a few days!"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"ha!"

"grandmother!"

"It's not bad to make two trips and earn a few hundred yuan!"

Zhao Dahai turned on the faucet and washed his hands and feet. After being in the sun all day, he was covered in stinky sweat. The cold water felt very comfortable on his body.

The octopuses caught today all come up with the tide in specific seasons. Although you may have caught a lot today, the total number will not be too much. People from your own village or other villages will soon find that they are placing octopus tubes, imitating others, and catching them all at once.

Zhao Dahai's idea is very simple. One trip today and another trip tomorrow will earn as much as he can. In the next two or three days, the sea water will definitely clear up a lot. He should continue fishing honestly. Putting the octopus tube in is just a temporary measure. There are really no fish in the sea, so just subsidize it, that’s it, there’s no hope of making money all the time.
