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

It's getting brighter.

The sun rises in the east.

The sea is open.

Fishing boats that went fishing in the early morning came back, and the pier became lively.

"I caught about 30 pounds of orchid crab today, which is pretty good size."

"Finally I can make some money."

…

“There were some sandpoints and some mudfish today.”

…

"ha!"

"I got two pieces of horse glue today, each weighing about ten kilograms."

"Gas money and food money are all out."

…

Zhong Shizhu had just parked his fishing boat. Lei Dayou's fishing boat and Liu Bin's fishing boat stopped together. Today everyone had 180 kilograms of fish, shrimps and crabs. The harvest was good and they were all in a good mood.

"Why?!"

"Why is Zhao Dahai's fishing boat still at the dock?"

"Don't you think you can't go to sea?"

Lei Dayou saw Zhao Dahai's fishing boat parked not far away. It was not surprising that other people did not go out to sea to fish or fish. Zhao Dahai was very diligent and went to sea when the weather was bad or rainy. Now the weather is so good that the boat Parked at the dock, something was definitely wrong.

"You're not going to sell fish, are you?"

Liu Bin thought for a while. Every morning, people come to the pier to buy fish, and the fish they catch are sold directly. Zhao Dahai goes fishing in the sea and only returns to the dock in the afternoon or even evening when it gets dark. There is no one to buy fish, so he goes to the town to sell fish every two or three days. It is a bit troublesome, but the price is higher.

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. Zhao Dahai just went to the town to sell fish yesterday and talked about Zhao Dahai picking up almost three hundred kilograms of oxeye snails.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were extremely envious after hearing this. They both went fishing yesterday and made a hundred or two hundred yuan. They didn't have to bother with piers and rocks in the sea. They fished for a few hours and made thousands. piece.

"Da Dahai didn't go fishing today. He must have gone somewhere else to make money."

"Have you noticed that Dahai doesn't only know how to fish every day? He keeps looking for various ways to make money."

"As long as he can make money, he will catch it, and he will catch a lot of key things."

Zhong Shizhu looked at the fishing boat parked in Zhao Dahai. If the sky fell, it would be impossible for someone who was lazy to go out fishing and make money elsewhere.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin nodded in unison. Zhao Dahai was indeed different from people like him who only knew how to go fishing all day long. He made various ways to make money, and he made a lot of money.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin lost interest in chatting, packed up their fishing nets and boats, and went back to their homes to find their mothers.

ten o'clock in the morning.

It has been more than three hours since the sun rose.

The mangroves have very lush foliage, are low and airtight.

Zhao Dahai squatted on the ground, put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, and gasped for air. He entered the mangrove forest just after five o'clock in the morning. It was very muddy after the heavy rain. The mangrove forest grew densely and the dead branches and leaves washed away by the heavy rain were everywhere. , walking is very difficult.

"What's going on?"

"Why no blue crabs?"

Zhao Dahai took the kettle, drank some water, and searched several trenches. He couldn't find a single blue crab, so he had no choice but to enter the mangrove. He only caught three blue crabs before and after. They were only the size of a fist and not worth much. He had no choice but to Back to the edge of the trench among the mangroves.

Zhao Dahai was thinking about the many green crabs in the mangroves yesterday afternoon. When he came in, he saw there were none and was very disappointed.

"Where are you hiding?"

Zhao Dahai was very depressed. He grabbed a mud snail on the ground and threw it out. It landed on the water of the trench not far away with a thud, and the sea water splashed everywhere.

Huh?

What's in the water?

Zhao Dahai stood up, walked to the edge of the trench, and looked carefully. The water was muddy in several places.

This is not right!

The only thing that hit the ditch was a mud snail. If the water is muddy, there will only be water in one place. It is impossible for several places with muddy water to be connected together to form a line. There are fish or other things in the ditch.

Zhao Dahai thought about it, took the gloves from the bamboo building, put them on, rolled up his trousers and stepped down into the trench, walked lightly to the muddy water, reached out and touched something, and moved forward in fright Stopped again.

No way?

Are the crabs here?

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. It must not be a fish. If it was a fish, he would have fled far away when he was frightened. It didn't even reach the knees. After looking carefully for a while, I saw something lying in the mud. I couldn't see what it was, but the mud was protruding.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand to hold it down, and was amused when he saw the two raised pliers. There was no doubt about the blue crab, and he carefully grabbed it, one weighing eighty-two pounds.

"ha!"

"He was hiding in the ditch!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy and wanted to give himself a slap.

The heavy rain brought many blue crabs out of the mangroves, but it took only two days for the rain to stop. The blue crabs went from a familiar place to a strange place, and most of them hid in the ditch before they had time to adapt.

I took it for granted that blue crabs should dig holes, and kept looking for them on the edge of the trench. No wonder I didn't get anything.

Zhao Dahai tied up the blue crabs, packed them in a net bag, carried a bamboo pole on his back, and went down the trench again with a shoulder pole in one hand. He walked forward with his eyes wide open and looked carefully at the two sides of the trench. , When I saw something wrong, I felt that there might be blue crabs. I stretched out the pole and poked it. If it was really a blue crab, I would move it, but if I couldn’t run fast or far, I would stop. Wait a while, the water is clear. Look at the right position and grab it accurately.

Zhao Dahai walked two hundred meters along the trench and caught three blue crabs, two weighing more than one kilogram and one weighing five taels. The harvest was quite good.

You've found the right place!

Zhao Dahai was full of energy and continued to move forward.

The sun rises higher and higher.

The further we walked into the mangrove, the hotter and muggier it became, as if the air had solidified.

Zhao Dahai has one foot deep and one foot shallow. There is water and silt in the trench. It is very difficult to walk in. What is even more uncomfortable is that the water in the trench swayed wildly when walking, and the sun above the head hit the water surface, which was very dazzling. , I didn’t feel anything at first, but over time, it became very uncomfortable.

Zhao Dahai crawled out of the trench, gasping for air, his lungs were about to explode, he blinked a few times, tears welled up, wiped more and more, and it took a while for the flow to stop.

Found the right place?

Can you catch a lot of blue crabs?

Will there be good goods in the mangroves after heavy rains?

Zhao Dahai realized that he was too naive and thought too well. The fact that he slapped himself hard, took a rest for a while, the time was almost there, and the tide would rise in about two hours. He was unwilling but had no choice but to go back Walk.

The thief never leaves!

Zhao Dahai became very depressed. On the way back, he found a place with more sea melon seeds and dug a net bag and a bag of mud snails, and walked out of the mangrove forest.

Night falls.

Zhao Dahai carried sea melon seeds on one end of his shoulder pole and mud snails on the other end. A small mesh bag was hung with mud crabs. He carried a bamboo basket on his back, rolled up his trouser legs, and was stained with mud. When he walked to the pier, he met Arrive at Zhongshizhu after dinner.

"ah?"

"The sea."

"Where have you been?"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he looked behind Zhao Dahai and came towards the mangrove forest.

Zhao Dahai put down his burden, wiped off his sweat, and told Zhong Shizhu that he thought there would be blue crabs rushing out of the mangroves after the heavy rain. He went in today and didn't catch a few.

Zhong Shizhu was shocked. After the heavy rain, there is indeed a possibility of good products in the mangrove forest. Zhao Dahai has a good brain and immediately thought about this matter. Don't look at the fact that he didn't make a lot of money this time, but those blue crabs are definitely not a loss. The key is that Zhao Dahai found this opportunity. If it really happened, he could catch dozens of blue crabs and make a fortune. He and other fishing people in the village could only watch with envy.

Zhao Dahai was afraid that his grandma Zhong Cuihua would be worried, so he said a few words, squatted down, picked up sea melon seeds and mud snails, and strode home.

Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai's back, and remembered what he said to Liu Bin and Lei Dayou in the morning. Zhao Dahai didn't go fishing, so he really had to find other ways to make money.

When Zhao Dahai came home, the green crabs were placed in buckets. After dinner, he and his grandma washed the sea melon seeds and mud snails, boiled them in a large pot, shaved the meat, and dried them on the dustpan. At one o'clock in the morning I just finished my busy work and took a quick shower. I was so tired after a day in the mangroves that I fell asleep instantly as soon as I lay down.
