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

The sun sets.

The sky is filled with glow.

Zhao Dahai walked to the corner, opened the lid of a large bucket, and fished out a few three-spot crabs and stone crabs. Yesterday, taking advantage of the ebb tide before picking mussels, I stepped on the water line and caught crabs weighing nearly 30 catties. The orchid crabs were sold to Liu Gang’s restaurant in the town as soon as I came back yesterday. Regardless of the currency price of 60 yuan a catty, it sold for 1,632 yuan. I got up two hours early and made a fortune and left a delicious meal. It is really flattering.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen with the three-spot crab and the stone crab. The three-spot crab is a kind of crab with three black spots on its shell. Needless to say, the stone crab is a common crab in reef areas. The common feature is that the price is not high. , I couldn’t sell it for a lot of money, so I just kept it and ate it at home.

Zhao Dahai washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook. There are many ways to cook crabs. They can be steamed or fried. One is to put a little oil in the pot without water, which means half-steamed and half-fried. Three-point crabs and stone crabs are washed and put into the pot, and the lid is covered. Within a few minutes, a stream of water steamed up, and the fragrance was overwhelming. I immediately opened the lid, took the plate, picked up the crab and put it on top.

Zhao Dahai set up the table in the yard, loaded up the rice and served the dishes, and called his grandma Zhong Cuihua to sit down and eat.

"grandmother!"

"The three-point crab is a good size."

"It's fat!"

Zhao Dahai took the largest three-pointed crab, which weighed half a catty, weighed it a little, pressed his hand, it was definitely fat, broke off the pliers, grabbed the four claws of one end with one hand, and pressed the sharp corners with the other hand, and opened it. Remove the crab lid, clean the crab gills and put them into Zhong Cuihua's bowl.

"Isn't it good to sell it?"

"When are we guarding the beach without food?"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"grandmother!"

"All the valuable orchid crabs are sold!"

"Keep these for yourself!"

Zhao Dahai picked up a stone crab, opened the crab cover, it was really fat, despite its small size, it was not as good as the three-spot crab, let alone the orchid crab, the shell was hard and not flattering, but the taste was absolutely Not bad, in the middle is a thumb-sized piece of salted egg yolk-like paste. It is amazing that a crab as big as three fingers has such a paste. I took the chopsticks, picked the paste and put it in Zhong Cuihua's bowl. This is a good thing.

Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, rested for a few minutes, and started walking to the back of the house with buckets of water. He has been busy with mussels for the past two days. His grandma helped him, but he also ignored the vegetable field. Time, you need to water it well. The sea breeze is strong and strong and it is dry, so the vegetable field needs to be watered well.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

Zhao Dahai sat on the edge of the ground, sweating profusely. All the vegetable seedlings that had been moved in the ground came alive. When water was poured, the water was bright and green. Beans and loofahs grew very fast. In a few days, they were more than ten centimeters tall. It was twenty centimeters. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to cut bamboo to build a frame since I didn’t have much to do tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai took a rest and checked the fence that he had put up a few days ago. It was not loose or falling down. The bamboo was dense enough and there were no holes. He was relieved. He saw that the fastest-growing vegetables were almost edible. In case of a chicken. When I came in, I was definitely swept away, and I was extremely depressed.

Zhao Dahai carried the bucket home and took all the mussel meat drying on the cement floor in front of the yard back home. At night at the beach, there is sometimes heavy dew, which affects the quality when it gets wet, making it difficult to sell at a good price.

the next day.

Zhao Dahai got up early and cooked breakfast at around five o'clock. He took out the remaining porridge to dry and left it in the pot to heat up. Grandma Zhong Cuihua could eat it when she woke up. She pushed her motorcycle out and half I rushed to the town when I was an hour, bought some meat and vegetables, and then went to a hardware store to buy water pipes, glue, wire, nails, etc. When I got home, the sun had just risen and was less than a bamboo pole high.

Zhao Dahai saw that some of the mussels had been moved out to dry on the cement floor in front of the yard. He knew that his grandma had already gotten up and was busy with this matter. He quickly set up his motorcycle, put down his things and helped, and the two of them moved them out in a moment.

"Go and do your business!"

"I can do this myself!"

Zhong Cuihua put a straw hat on her head and began to turn over the mussel meat on the dustpan and straw mat one by one.

Zhao Dahai walked to the motorcycle, took the meat and vegetables back to the kitchen, took the water pipes and glue into the yard, and started to work. The vegetable field needed more and more water, and carrying water all day long was time-consuming and laborious. He connected a water pipe to the yard and got one. The faucet is very convenient. It's not a difficult thing. It's just that the water pipe in the yard is cut off. The one-way head and two-way head are replaced with the three-way head and then the water pipe is reconnected with glue. If you can do these small things yourself, do it yourself. Hire others. No matter how big or small the job is, it will cost you at least two hundred yuan a day. It takes time and saves money to do it yourself.

After Zhao Dahai connected the water pipe, the glue had to wait for a while before he could test the water. He picked up a hatchet and went to the back hill of the village. He chopped a bunch of finger-sized bamboos, cut off the branches and leaves, and tied them with vines. , carried the vegetable patch behind the house, and began to build a frame for the beans and loofahs. I chose a suitable place in the middle of two or three beans or loofahs, and gently inserted the three bamboos into the soil, leaving a third of the top to rest on. Tie them together with the thin wire that I just bought. This tripod is very stable and cannot be blown by the ordinary sea breeze. After setting up all the shelves, the loofah and beans, which were about ten centimeters long, were tied to the bamboo with small wires.

"The sea."

"Take a break."

Zhao Dahai looked up and saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua walking over with a kettle and a bowl. Only then did he realize that the sun had risen to the center of the sky before he knew it, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

Zhao Dahai poured a bowl of water, drank it in one gulp, pointed to the faucet of the water pipe that had just been pulled, remembering that he hadn’t tested the water yet, so he ran back to the yard and turned on the faucet, and checked along the water pipe. The soft water pipe I bought together in the morning was walked back to the vegetable field, connected to the faucet, and led into the vegetable field.

"grandmother!"

"When watering the ground, just pull on this water pipe!"

"No more buckets to carry it."

"Convenient!"

Zhao Dahai pulled the hose and watered the ground again. I am young and strong, and it is no problem to carry water in the yard, but it is impossible to stay at home every day, and I always go fishing to make money or something. Grandma Zhong Cuihua, who is sure to water the vegetable field, helps, which is convenient and labor-saving.

"This is good!"

"Watering is convenient and labor-saving!"

Zhong Cuihua walked around the vegetable field, touched the triangular frame and the green vegetables, and pulled out a few young grasses that had grown.

"The sea!"

"There is land here. Someday you can get some fruit trees that we can plant and plant them."

After Zhong Cuihua looked at the vegetable field, she walked back to Zhao Dahai and gestured at the ground behind the house. Many of them were empty.

"OK!"

"Buy some seedlings and plant some bananas. These things are very wild. If you plant them for a year or two, you can have something to eat."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. The vegetable field was big enough, so there was no need to open it anymore. It was a waste of space. You had to plant something.

"What kind of banana?"

"How much of this can an old lady like me eat?"

"Get some other fruit-bearing ones."

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"OK!"

"no problem!"

"In a few days, I will go to town and buy some fruit-bearing fruits to plant. I will prepare them for my great-grandchildren!"

Zhao Dahai reacted immediately.

When Zhong Cuihua heard this, she kept nodding her head and smiled with all the wrinkles on her face.

Well! So awesome! Today’s collection is higher than yesterday’s! It was too unexpected and too surprising!
