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

Zhao Dahai went to the bank to save money. He earned more than 8,000 yuan in a few days. He kept a little for his own use and deposited the rest in the bank. He just said yesterday that he would build a building. The land is waiting, and he only owes money Now, you can save money by working hard to make money and not spending it arbitrarily.

Zhao Dahai went to the fishing tackle store to buy various accessories. Fishing is not a world of one line and one hook. The loss is not small, so we have to replenish it from time to time. I bought a lot of sea centipede, and the Antarctic shrimp has been used up. I don’t know what to do next. Will I continue fishing for yellow sea bream? But this is frozen bait. You can buy it home and use it when needed. There is no need to put it in the refrigerator as it will not go bad for a while.

After Zhao Dahai finished shopping, he came home on a motorcycle. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was setting up a dustpan at the gate of the yard, and was planning to take out the sandworms to dry. It has been raining non-stop for the past few days, and the sandworms that have just been dried are somewhat damp again. Now that the weather is nice, I have to take it out to bask in the sun.

Zhao Dahai immediately helped. He took out the sandworms in the bag and spread them all on the dustpan. He took out all the salted fish and other things to dry in the sun.

"ha!"

"grandmother!"

"You don't know if you don't expose it, but you will be shocked when you expose it. There are so many useful things in the house."

Zhao Dahai smiled. The sandworms in the dustpan looked at the salted fish, mud snails, sea melon seeds and meat hanging on the shelf, and even bacon. There were quite a lot of them.

Zhong Cuihua looked at it, and there were quite a lot. Zhao Dahai worked hard, not to mention those who sold sandworms, but there were a lot of dried salted fish, sea melon seeds, and mud snails left at home to eat.

"The sea."

"Let's sell these dried sandworms sometime!"

Zhong Cuihua reminded.

Zhao Dahai nodded. Dried sandworms are different from salted fish. You don’t keep them for your own food. You have to sell them to make money. The fresher they are, the easier they are to sell. They all have to be taken out to dry. If they accidentally get moldy and deteriorate, it will be a huge loss. It’s best to sell them as soon as possible.

From the dry goods store in town?

This place is no different from the people who came to the village to buy it a few days ago. It may be a little higher, but not much higher.

If your sandworms are ordinary goods, only one or two catties, it doesn’t matter where you sell them, and the difference is not much, but your own sandworms must weigh six to seven catties or even eight catties, all of which are top-notch. It's so big that you'll lose a lot of money selling it in town. I already encountered this once when I was selling dried mussels last time.

Huh?

correct!

What was the name of the guy who bought dried mussels last time?

Zhao Dahai couldn't remember the name for a moment, so he turned back to the room, searched for a while, and pulled out the business card that person left for him.

Wu Weimin.

Jin Minghua's private restaurant.

Zhao Dahai decided to make a phone call the next time he was in town to see if Wu Weimin wanted the sandworms in his hands. It will be a lot better. This is hard-earned money. If you put in a little effort, you can earn a little more.

After lunch, Zhao Dahai went to the pier. He did not go out to sea for fish sale in the morning, and spent half a day at home with nothing to do. Going out to sea for fishing, as much as he could catch, was better than staying at home anyway. Go to the pier to have a look There are people on the beach and on the rocks not far away. They are all carrying net bags in their hands and picking up snails. Many of them are familiar people.

"The sea!"

"Were they selling fish this morning?!"

"Then you missed a great opportunity to pick up snails!"

When Zhong Shizhu saw Zhao Dahai, he raised the net bag he was carrying in his hand. When he came back from fishing early this morning, someone happened to see a lot of ox-eye snails crawling on the small pier and nearby reefs. He remembered that it had just rained for a few days. , all the snails can't bear to climb out, and after selling the fish, they all start to pick up snails. Unfortunately, there are too many people, everyone can pick them up but not many, and you can't make much money by selling them. You can take them home and take them home. After a meal, there is another dish on the table. The beef eye snails taste quite good.

Zhao Dahai looked at it and saw that it was only five or six kilograms. He smiled and said that he came down to clean the fishing boat last night and picked up more than two hundred and seventy kilograms.

Zhong Shizhu was stunned.

More than two hundred and seventy pounds?

It has been raining for the past few days and I haven't gone to sea. Last night, I, Liu Bin or Lei Dayou, including the other fishing boats at the pier, were anxious to make money. They all went fishing and didn't pay attention to the bull's-eye snail at all.

"The sea!"

"You really are destined to make money!"

Zhong Shizhu sighed. Zhao Dahai was different from people like him. He only went out to sea for fishing and did not go out to sea in the early hours of the night, so he happened to have the opportunity to make a fortune. Night is a good time to find snails. During the day, most of the snails will crawl back into the sea or into the cracks of rocks. In addition, Zhao Dahai has picked them up once. He and other people who started picking up snails at dawn can only It is impossible to make money with just one meal.

Bull's eye snails are not valuable, but they cost about ten yuan. This time I made three to four thousand yuan.

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. He was really hard at fishing, and he should make money. The bull-eye snail thing was really not about hard work, it was just good luck. He was right to say that he was destined to make money.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu chatted for a while, then drove the fishing boat out to sea. They changed many places in two or three hours and only caught two or three small black sea bream and some Shi Jiugong.

Zhao Dahai sighed, there is no way, now the rain has stopped and the sun has come out, but it has been raining non-stop for the past few days, and the salinity of the seawater in the sea has been greatly affected. I didn’t go back to the shallow sea. It’s true that yellow snappers like lighter sea water, but now that the rain has stopped, the seawater’s salinity is rising. There must be yellow eagles, but when it’s not raining, they are active and scattered. There is no yellow snapper. Fishing.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the edge of the mangrove forest, turned around, but saw no running water, the place where the big yellow snapper was caught was as flat as a mirror, only the place close to the shore had a stream of running water so small that it was almost invisible , I tried fishing for a while, and what came up was one or two taels of small black snapper.

Zhao Dahai collected the fishing rods, tidied them up, and put them into the cabin. When there are fish in the sea, you have to work hard. When there are no fish, it is meaningless. There is plenty of time, but gas money is required, not all costs. I took the cheat net, picked up a few small black sea bream that were alive and threw them back into the sea. Shi Jiugong left them behind to make soup or braise them at night.

How about going into the mangrove forest tomorrow?

Zhao Dahai looked at the mangrove forest close at hand, and remembered the last time he dug a lot of blue crabs in the mangrove forest and picked up a lot of blue crabs. It has been a long time. The rainwater kept washing away from the inside and outside. The blue crabs in the depths of the mangroves moved with the flowing water. Some ran into the sea, and some must have burrowed in the mangroves not far from the sea.

Zhao Hai suddenly became excited.

The mangrove is a treasure house, and there are more than just blue crabs in it. Due to the high tide, the water will be submerged. You can only go in when the tide is low. When the time comes, you can get out. The distance you can go in is limited. Blue crabs or other fish in the depths There are more shrimps and crabs, but they are out of reach. It has rained continuously in the past few days, and there must be a lot of good products coming out of the flood. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and you must not let it go.

Zhao Dahai made up his mind to drive the fishing boat back to the dock and go home immediately. The tide will be around five o'clock tomorrow morning and will not recede very far. The tidal flats on the beach will not be exposed, but there is no problem at all entering the mangroves. It has to be done. Be prepared.

Zhao Dahai told his grandma Zhong Cuihua that he would get up early and go into the mangroves tomorrow, bring food and not go home at noon. He would only come out when the tide came up, which might be late.

Zhong Cuihua nodded. The most valuable product in the mangrove forest was blue crabs. Zhao Dahai was definitely going for this thing.

Zhao Dahai cooked dinner early and finished preparing it immediately. Five mesh bags, ropes for tying blue crabs, small shovels and hatchets, flashlights, labor protection gloves and drinking water were all sorted and placed in a small place. The bamboo basket was big enough to be carried on my back. I got up at four o'clock the next morning, finished breakfast, packed my lunch, picked up a pole and put on my liberation shoes and went out. Little Naihei lay behind the courtyard door, alert. He raised his head and took a look before lowering his head again and lying down.

When Zhao Dahai passed by the pier, there were only a few fishing boats. He looked towards the sea and saw the lights of fishing boats, all casting nets for fishing.

be lazy?

Occasionally a day or two is fine, but if you don't go to sea for ten days and a half, you can't bear it. The whole family has to wait for the northwest wind.

Zhao Dahai strode towards the mangroves. Seeing that the sea water had receded, he pulled the bamboo basket on his shoulders, steadied his back, took a flashlight, and bent down to drill into the mangroves. He didn't know what he would find if he went in this time. .
