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

seven in the morning.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the courtyard door. The sun had risen for almost an hour. The sea breeze blowing over had no moist moisture at night, and it was very dry. He was worried about dew. The dustpan with sea melon seeds and mud snail meat was left to dry in the hall last night, and they were all moved. Come out and put it at the door of the yard.

Zhao Dahai was a little depressed last night. Meimei thought that after the continuous heavy rain, there would be good products in the mangroves. Apart from other things, catching dozens of blue crabs was not a problem. He did not expect that it would end like this. However, he got up after a good sleep. , it’s okay. It’s impossible to make money every time, especially big money. This trip just didn’t make big money. The few blue crabs I caught sold for three to five hundred yuan, and the sea melon seeds and mud snail meat were drying on the dustpan in front of me. , you can cook your usual meals, and you will make money by saving money on food.

"Little black tits!"

"Watch it!"

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at Xiao Naihei lying at the door of the yard, and pointed at the dustpan. The dog's eyes were closed and he was motionless.

Zhong Cuihua walked out of the house, happened to see it, and shouted, Xiao Naihei stood up immediately, walked out of the courtyard door, lay down on the wall where the sun was not shining, and stared at the dustpan.

Zhao Dahai was a bit dumbfounded. Who was feeding and listening to whom? It was very snobbish.

Zhao Dahai saw that it was almost time, took Wu Weimin's business card, rode a motorcycle to the town, and found a place to make a call. Unexpectedly, he found someone right away. Wu Weimin was very interested when he heard about sandworms and said he wanted to take a look. , if the price is suitable, I can tell you the price. I originally thought about bringing it back to the village myself, but Wu Weimin said that he was in the town now and wanted to go to the village to see the goods, take a look at the sea, etc., and made an appointment at the Dry Goods Street at 12 noon. Meet at the street corner.

Zhao Dahai first went to Liu Gang to sell a few blue crabs he caught in the mangroves yesterday. They were not big in size and cost 352 yuan in total. Then he rode his motorcycle to the entrance of the fish market. He came to the town today mainly for Contact Wu Weimin to see if he can sell the sandworms in his house. The other one wants to come later to see if there is a chance to meet Ding Xiaoxiang.

Zhao Dahai waited for a while at the door of the fish market. It was already eleven ten before he walked in. He looked carefully from a distance and saw that there was only Ding Xiaoxiang and no Zhang Li among the stalls. However, he was a little worried and went around to the back door of the market to look again. , walked to Ding Xiaoxiang after confirming that it really wasn't there.

"ah?"

"How did you come?"

"Didn't I say that? Just sell the fish to others."

When Ding Xiaoxiang saw Zhao Dahai, she was a little nervous and looked around.

Zhao Dahai smiled and told Ding Xiaoxiang that he had seen the front and back doors and it was very safe.

"snort!"

"Why did you come so early last time? Didn't I tell you that you can only come at a fixed time? My mother almost got stuck in the room."

"If nothing happens to you, I will be scolded bloody!"

Ding Xiaoxiang recalled what happened a few days ago, and felt lingering fear in her heart.

"Why!"

"I sold bulleye snails and large yellow snapper from Liu Gang. The rest came here because they were worried that they would die without oxygen, especially if the temperature got higher and higher."

"I looked at the market entrance from a distance for a long time. Your mother was not there. I thought I would sell the fish to you and leave immediately. It was only a few minutes, so I shouldn't have run into you. Who would have thought that we would run into you at the wrong time?!"

Zhao Dahai kept looking around as he spoke, feeling a little guilty and worried that Zhang Li would suddenly appear at this time.

"Be careful in the future."

"correct!"

"How is little Naihei?"

Ding Xiaoxiang misses the puppy that was given to Zhao Dahai.

"Okay, okay!"

"So spiritual!"

"It's grown up in a few days!"

"But. Just listen to my grandma!"

"I can't move it."

Zhao Dahai talked about the little milk black thing.

"Why!"

"I really like little Naihei, but unfortunately I already have two big dogs at home, and my mother is unwilling to let me raise another one."

"Otherwise, I would be reluctant to give it to you!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little melancholy. Xiao Naihei gave it to Zhao Dahai, but she kept thinking about it. When she went to bed last night, she dreamed of playing with Xiao Naihei.

"Do you really want to see the little black-breasted one? Why don't you wait at the village gate at nine o'clock tonight and I will bring it over so you can see it."

Zhao Dahai's heart moved, and he thought of an idea.

Ding Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.

"OK!"

"This matter has been settled. I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the village at nine o'clock tonight, where I met you that time."

Zhao Dahai didn't dare to stay for a long time. He had a bit of a psychological shadow after the last incident. He always felt that Zhang Li would suddenly appear, or somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to catch him and Ding Xiaoxiang. They would meet again tonight, so it would be better to leave early.

Ding Xiaoxiang pursed her lips and smiled, and Zhao Dahai left in a hurry. This was because he was afraid of seeing his mother, and thinking that he could see Xiao Naihei tonight, his mood suddenly became very good.

Zhao Dahai left the fish market and rode his motorcycle to the Dry Goods Street. After waiting for a while, Wu Weimin showed up in his car, said hello, led the way, and returned directly to the door.

Wu Weimin got out of the car and saw the dustpan placed at the door of the yard. The sea breeze blew over and there was a unique smell of dried seafood, so he immediately walked over.

"Sea melon seeds?"

"Mud snail?"

"This head is really big!"

Wu Weiming reached out and grabbed a few pieces of sea melon seed meat, squeezed it with his hand, half dry and half wet, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"I went to the mangroves yesterday. These mud snails and sea melon seeds all come from there."

Zhao Dahai told Wu Weimin that he would keep these things for himself and not sell them.

Wu Weimin is not surprised. Sea melon seeds and mud snails are extremely common seafood. There are a lot of them. Regardless of whether they are fresh or dried, the price is not high: people who buy them at high prices are reluctant to buy them. At low prices, dried products are too expensive. It’s not worth the time and no one wants to do it.

Zhao Dahai went into the house and took out the sandworms.

Wu Weimin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw it.

Sandworms are top-notch seafood, very rich in protein and various trace elements, and are very popular. Sandworms are produced in many places, but there are obvious differences between sandworms in different places of origin. This beach in Zhaoda Langtou Village and surrounding villages produces sandworms that are small in size and of the highest quality. For example, the southernmost sea also produces sandworms, which are generally larger in size, but the texture and taste are not as good as those in Zhaodahai Village.

People who are not familiar with dried seafood cannot tell the difference, but the people who come to eat at my private restaurant are all gourmets, or people who grew up in a seaside fishing village. There is no shortage of money on hand, and the mouth is very picky. One can count all of them, and this difference can be made.

The sandworms Zhao Dahai took out were as big as the southernmost sea, but they were truly local products.

Wu Weimin reached out and fished out a handful of sandworms randomly in the bag. He looked at them and saw that each one was about the same size. He picked up one and peeled it open, especially the two small tendrils on the head of the sandworm. He chewed several of them in his mouth. Down. Sandworms grow in the sand and eat sand. Their stomachs or intestines are full of sand. They cannot be cleaned when washing. If the sand is left, it will greatly affect the taste and make the food tasteless. These sandworms are very clean even if they are washed. There is not even a tiny bit of sand.

"good!"

"This sandworm is really good!"

"Two thousand five hundred yuan per pound!"

"As much as you want!"

"Do you have one or two hundred pounds?!"

Wu Weimin directly quoted the price. For the sandworms in the southern sea, the same size only costs 1,200 yuan per catty. The difference is so big.

"Boss Wu."

"How could I have so many? I guess it weighs six or seven pounds."

"The sandworms in our land here are generally not big. If they are small, other families in the village should be able to harvest them, but if you want one of this size, it is really rare. If you pick and choose, one village can pick out two or three kilograms. It’s already very good.”

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

One or two hundred pounds?

This is talking about dry goods. If it is fresh goods, it will take at least one or two thousand kilograms, or even three thousand kilograms, to get one or two hundred kilograms of dried sandworms.

Some time ago, the tide in the sea was suitable, and several surrounding villages went out to dig for sandworms. If you add them all together, let alone one or two hundred kilograms of dried sandworms, it could be one or two thousand kilograms or even close to ten thousand kilograms.

The key is size.

I didn't dig much for sandworms in the past two years. I had enough time to dig them out, and the sandworms grew a little bigger. I kept digging in the tide, digging in the big land. Others don't have this ability. They can't pick and choose whatever they can dig up. Most of them are small.

Only so many pounds?

Wu Weiming was a little disappointed, but he knew it was the truth. These sandworms were really big and rare.

Do you want to collect some sandworms in the village?

Wu Weiming thought about it for a while and gave up the idea. He opened a top-notch private restaurant and wanted all the good things. If it was a sandworm of the size Zhao Dahai brought out, he would have as many as he wanted. It was small. Yes, there is no need. I have other more stable supply channels. If I collect them directly here, it will be very time-consuming and not cost-effective. In addition, you have to consider the seaside fishing villages. Each village has dedicated people to purchase fresh and dry goods. I can buy sandworms here in Zhaodahai, or even buy sandworms from three or five families. There is no problem. It shows that there are a lot of cars and horses. Those who collect seafood will definitely not do the acquisition, and there may be trouble.

Zhao Dahai took the scale and weighed it. All the sandworms added up to seven pounds and one tael, which was a total of 17,750 yuan. He had earned almost 18,000 yuan after a few days of hard work. It was very cost-effective. Looking for Wu Weimin Correct, if you take it to the dry goods street in the town, you will only be able to sell it for a thousand yuan per catty, which is a huge loss of several thousand yuan.

Wu Weimin always carried cash in his car and immediately took the money and handed it to Zhao Dahai.

"I don't have to worry about the lack of things, as long as they are good ones. I want a pound and a half of these sandworms. If you get them, remember to call me!"

"I have an office in the town, and I'm there almost every day. If I'm not there, there will be a secretary. Leave a message. I know where your home is now, so I can come by myself."

Wu Weimin told Zhao Dahai to call him if he has something good. In private restaurants, especially top-notch private restaurants, chefs are very important, but ingredients are even more important. Without good food, they will not be able to attract those rich and naughty people.

Zhao Dahai took these sandworms and sold them elsewhere. It was impossible for such a high price.

Why such a high price? One is that the price of sandworms of this quality purchased from other places is at least three thousand or even four thousand yuan per catty. The other one, after asking a high price, will call him when he has good goods. If he can make more money by selling to himself, he will have the motivation and motivation to go out to sea to catch good goods. Maybe he will see others catch them. Notify yourself of good goods and even take them and resell them to yourself. Either way, it's a good thing for you.

Zhao Dahai agreed.

Wu Weimin glanced at the sea in the distance and asked if there were fishing boats taking people out to fish.

"Boss Wu."

"I usually make money by fishing at sea. Sandworms and other things can only be dug when the tide is right. The mussels I sold you last time can only be dried when the tide is right. If you want to fish someday, just come here. I will take you Go to sea.”

Zhao Dahai nodded. Someone from the seaside fishing village took him out to fish, but he didn't know much about the situation. He had to ask around to find out whose boats did this, especially what the charges were.

"oh?"

"Really?"

"How about we leave now? I have a pole and a refrigerator and stuff in my car."

“Antarctic shrimp and everything.”

Wu Weimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not today."

"It's not early now and you'll miss the best tide. There aren't many fish out there right now."

Zhao Dahai did not agree to Wu Weimin going to sea now.

Wu Weimin was a little disappointed and made an appointment to go fishing next time.

Zhao Dahai sent Wu Weimin away and took the money into the yard. When he got to the main room, he told his grandmother Zhong Cuihua, who was weaving a fishing net, that the sandworms had sold for 2,500 yuan per catty, which was almost 18,000 yuan. Zhong Cuihua was very surprised. She didn't expect to sell it for so much money.

Zhao Dahai said with a smile that Wu Weimin could not suffer in this matter. It looked like the high price was charged, but it would definitely be cheaper than if he got the goods from other places. No one is a fool. Wu Weimin is a businessman, and it is impossible for him to lack a brain. Of course, you will benefit from it yourself, but if you sell it elsewhere, you won’t get the same price.

After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he got off the pier and drove the fishing boat out to sea. He thought about seizing the time and fishing as much as he could. However, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon and he lost his mind. He returned to the pier early. He had to go out to eat, take a bath and other things when he got home. He had an appointment in the evening. Ding Xiaoxiang.

Please give me a monthly pass! Thanks!
