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

The sky is dim.

Zhao Dahai went out wearing a raincoat and rain boots. He looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds nearby, and a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of the sky in the distance.

It's been raining for a while!

I'll survive today.

Maybe the sun will come out in the afternoon.

Zhao Dahai walked towards the pier. He couldn't be lazy. It had been raining for a few days and the roads in the village had accumulated water. The mud was a bit rotten and slippery. He didn't dare to walk fast. He ran into Zhao Shi when he turned a corner.

"Second grandfather."

"Why are you so early? Why don't you stay at home in this weather?"

Zhao Dahai shouted.

"If you sleep any longer, you will grow mold!"

When Zhao Shi spoke, he opened his mouth and smoke came out.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the hookah in Zhao Shi's hand. This thing is really invincible. You can carry it with you and light it when you want. It can keep the fire for a long time. Just smoke a handful of shredded tobacco sparingly. It will burn out in twenty minutes and half an hour. No, it’s much more cost-effective than cigarettes. However, young people think it’s not classy enough and want convenience, so very few people smoke it.

"correct!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Recently, there are more yellow snappers in the sea than any other fish. Why is this?"

Zhao Dahai thought of something he had been thinking about. Zhao Shi was experienced and might not know.

"The water yields yellow snapper."

"What's so strange about that?"

Zhao Shi told Zhao Dahai that yellow snapper is different from other fish and does not like water that is too salty. The sun is shining every day and the sea water is salty. Yellow snapper has to find other places to hide. It has been raining these days and the sea water has become a lot thinner. , yellow snapper appeared, and the fish caught, yellow snapper must be a little more than other fish.

Zhao Dahai patted the back of his head hard. Didn't you think of this? I don’t know how many times I heard this saying when I was a kid.

Why is there only yellow snapper and no other fish in the flowing water in the mangrove forest? Especially large schools of yellow snapper formed? One is that the flowing water is rich in food, and the other is that it has high oxygen content. The real key is that the water flowing down is rainwater. The salt content of the seawater in that place must be lower than that in other places around it. Other fish such as black sea bream do not like such an environment. Stay away. The yellow snapper is different, it likes it very much, and "lures" all the others around it.

"Second Grandpa!"

"I'm going fishing!"

Zhao Dahai yelled, turned around and walked towards the pier.

"snort!"

"Why are you so surprised?"

"Being diligent is quite diligent!"

Zhao Shi continued to walk along the path and smoked a hookah after walking for a while. It is inconvenient and uncomfortable to go to sea on rainy days. Not many people in the village go to sea. It is very rare for Zhao Dahai at his age to go to sea to work at five or six in the morning. There is no secret to fishing at sea. As long as you are diligent and run more than others, you will definitely be able to catch more fish than others. More fish make more money.

Zhao Dahai got on the fishing boat, couldn't wait to pull up the anchor and untied the cable, started the diesel engine, and immediately drove towards the mangroves.

Yellow snapper has faded out of the water. It may clear up at any time today and it won't rain. There is little fresh water flowing out of the mangroves. Wouldn't the yellow snapper school suddenly disperse?

You have to seize the time to make money!

The light rain kept falling, like fine needles pricking the sea.

Zhao Dahai set up two diesel engines at full power and rushed to the place as quickly as possible. After checking that the water flow was almost the same as yesterday, he parked the fishing boat and started fishing. The sky may clear up at any time and the water flow will become smaller and smaller. Fishing at the tail end of the stream will start slowly. Fish slowly towards the shore and try to catch as many fish as possible for as long as possible.

Zhao Dahai hung up the Antarctic shrimp, threw the rod out, and cut the fish into the water. The fish were as violent as yesterday. He pulled them out of the water. They were a little smaller than yesterday at the same position, only about seven taels. He picked the fish and threw them into the live cabin. , hang the bait immediately and then cast the rod.

Zhao Dahai fished for an hour at a stretch, and saw that the water flow shortened by almost ten meters. Then he noticed that the rain had become lighter. He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was gloomy when he went out, but now it is a lot brighter. , the sky in the distance in the east became brighter.

Zhao Dahai moved the fishing boat twenty meters to the shore and continued fishing without taking a rest. The rain becomes lighter and less fresh water comes out of the mangroves. As the current becomes shorter and shorter, the fish schools will become smaller and smaller. The schools of yellow snapper are definitely getting smaller.

Four p.m.

The drizzle stopped.

The sun peeked out.

Zhao Dahai put down the pole in his hand. The water almost disappeared and the sea surface returned to calm. In ten minutes, not a single fish was caught.

So heartless!

The school of fish dispersed as soon as it was said to disperse!

No pause at all.

Zhao Dahai sat down, straightened his legs, and let out a sigh of relief. I came here early in the morning to fish, and I didn't take a minute's rest. Not counting pole throwing, I just stood there for ten hours.

Zhao Dahai drank water in big gulps. The mangrove area is large, but there is more than one place that drains water into the sea. When the rain stopped, the water flow suddenly stopped.

Zhao Dahai rested for half an hour, stood up, took off his raincoat, shook it a few times, and found a puddle of water. He took off his rain boots, turned upside down, and found another puddle of water. It was sultry when it rained, and it became even hotter when it stopped raining. It's hot, so I seize the time to fish without taking off my clothes. It's all the accumulated sweat.

Zhao Dahai took out his lunch box. He didn't pay attention to fishing and didn't feel hungry at all. Now that he was free, his hands and feet became weak and he couldn't hold it. In less than two minutes, he stuffed all the food into his mouth and swallowed it hard. His neck was sore. After swallowing for a long time, I filled my neck and sat for a while before I regained a lot of strength. I walked to the living water tank and looked at the yellow sea bream like Luo Fei in the dense small river. I was a little proud. Yesterday’s yellow sea bream weighed sixty or seventy pounds. Today we caught another sixty or seventy kilograms of yellow snapper, which together weighed over one hundred kilograms. The price of yellow snapper is much better than that of black snapper, so we can make a lot of money from these.

Zhao Dahai packed his poles, tidied up his things briefly, and drove the fishing boat to the pier. The sea breeze was blowing in his face, and the sun came out immediately after the rain. The sea was hot and humid, which was very uncomfortable. But what does this matter? I feel very good after making money.

pier.

The heavy rain has just passed.

The concrete pavement was wet and water accumulated in the small potholes.

There are people on every parked fishing boat, and they are all sorting out fishing nets or other things. The weather is nice, and there is no excuse to be lazy. You have to prepare to go fishing.

"Huh?"

"Zhao Dahai went to sea again?"

Zhong Shizhu arranged the fishing nets and straightened them out before going to sea. When he lowered the nets, he found that they were tangled and especially knotted, which was very troublesome.

"Isn't this kid too desperate?"

Liu Bin's fishing boat stopped next to the Zhongshi Pillar. When he heard this, he looked around and saw Zhao Dahai's fishing boat. Needless to say, it was really out to sea.

"ha!"

"Zhao Dahai is indeed diligent!"

"In this weather, there aren't many fish out to sea. In our village, including several surrounding villages, no one bothers to do this. They are all at home."

Zhong Shizhu really admired Zhao Dahai. It rained for a day or two, with no wind or fog, so he would definitely go out to sea, but when it rained for several days, especially once he went out to sea and didn’t catch many fish, his heart lightened up, and he let it go and just stayed at home. . Zhao Dahai is different. He is full of energy and goes fishing even on rainy days.

"A young man without a wife. He has plenty of firepower."

"What's the point of staying at home if you don't go out to sea to fish? When this kid gets married, it's impossible to go out to sea again in this weather!"

Liu Bin gathered up the finished fishing net and tied it with a rope.

"Hahaha!"

"Yes!"

"What else are you going to do at home in Yuwo?"

Zhong Shizhu laughed.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu!"

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin turned their heads and looked at the sound. A fishing boat was coming, and they could see Zhao Dahai from a distance. They knew it was a fishing trip, and they were curious about how much they could catch in this weather.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat slowly approaching the pier. At about the same time, he threw the anchor into the sea, continued to drive forward, and slowly tightened it. The fishing boat stopped less than half a meter away from the pier, and threw the cable to Liu Bin who was standing on the pier to help tie it up.

"The sea!"

"How many fish did you catch?"

Zhong Shizhu shouted.

Zhao Dahai took the net, fished it into the live cabin, and picked it up, full of fish.

Zhong Shizhu's eyes widened when he saw it.

Liu Bin got on the fishing boat directly, walked to the side of the live cabin and looked down. He saw at least fifty kilograms of fish.

rain?

All the knives in the world have to go to sea!

See you every day, mother-in-law!

What's there to worry about?

"Yellow snapper? All yellow snapper? How many places have you traveled?"

Liu Bin soon discovered that the living cabin was almost entirely filled with yellow snapper.

Zhao Dahai smiled and said that it was all fishing in one place.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin glanced at each other and didn't ask any more questions. Yellow snappers don't form groups. Zhao Dahai can catch so many in one place. It must be a fish nest. It's a good place to make money, so it's not convenient to ask.

Seeing that there were too many fish, Zhao Dahai worried that the live cabin would be too crowded for a long time, so it would be worthless, so he didn't pack up the things on the fishing boat, and went home after catching fish, and came down after dinner.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were relatively speechless, and their moods were a bit complicated. Zhao Dahai was diligent and would definitely make money, but catching dozens of kilograms of fish a day was too much.
