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

The sun is shining.

The temperature is very high.

Zhao Dahai was sweating profusely and soaked to the skin. Digging for blood eels was a strenuous job, far more strenuous than catching jumping fish. Riding a bamboo horse and sliding around saved most of his energy. Every move of the hoe to dig out blood eels required a lot of effort. Strength, the first few holes were okay, but as time went by, more and more were dug. It was very laborious to move forward in the mudflat, and it was very difficult to lift the hoe and dig down each layer of the sea. Pulling the mud scraper apart is even more difficult.

Zhao Dahai gasped for air and stopped to drink some water he had brought. His throat and lungs were smoking as if they were on fire. He took a rest and continued to dig.

Zhao Dahai saw a blood eel hole. The entrance was very new and obviously covered with mucus. There was 100% blood eel in it. He dug the hole twice with a hoe and found that the blood eel was not big. He gave up digging and moved forward. Nearly two hours later, I discovered that the density of blood eels in the tidal flat in front of me was high, and they were much bigger. The bigger they were, the more valuable they were. If there were big ones, I would definitely dig up big ones. Besides, if I didn’t gain much from the blood eels here today, It's okay. Once there is a harvest, people in the village will definitely know that someone will come to dig tomorrow, and there may be many people. Time is limited, and I can't kill all the big ones. I can only seize the time to dig the big ones first. With limited energy, Use it wisely.

The sun sets in the west.

Zhao Dahai heard the sound of flowing sea water. He raised his head and saw that the tide had already risen before he knew it. He was only a few dozen meters away from him. The sea water seemed to be emerging from the ground at a very fast speed.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. There were indeed a lot of blood eels, all of them big, but the tide was high and had almost reached his feet, so he had to stop digging.

Zhao Dahai walked back a hundred and eighty meters quickly, throwing away the rising seawater for a certain distance. He found a blood eel and immediately dug out its eyes. At this time, he grabbed the time, held in his breath, and quickly dug the sea with the hoe in his hand. Mud, if you can dig out more mud, it will be better.

Zhao Dahai dug hard with his hoe, and pulled hard with both hands. A large piece of sea mud flew up, and a large blood eel exposed its tail. Just as he was about to add another hoe, seawater poured in and dug out from around his feet. the pit,

"What the hell!"

Zhao Dahai shouted, threw the hoe in his hand, bent down, and quickly inserted his right hand through the dug hole. He touched the slippery blood eel and locked his fingers. At this moment, his adrenal glands were stimulated and his heart was beating crazily like a drum. Panting heavily, he calmed down for a while before standing up. He took out his right hand and clasped a blood eel tightly.

Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat or sea water on his face, and looked at the blood eel in his hand, his eyes widened. It was more than fifty centimeters long, as thick as two fingers side by side, and the diameter was more than two centimeters. It was so fat. No, with such a big size, I thought it might be another eel at first, but after looking carefully for a while, I was sure that it was indeed a blood eel. I weighed it and estimated it weighed half a catty.

big!

Really big!

This one can sell for a hundred or even a hundred and fifty yuan.

Zhao Dahai tore open the opening of the plastic bag in the bamboo basket, put the blood eel in, the sea water was almost knee-high, now it was impossible to run faster than the high tide, and it was impossible to continue digging.

Zhao Dahai packed up his things, put a hoe on his shoulders, carried a bamboo basket containing blood eels on one end, and clams in a net bag on the other, wading through the water and walking towards the shore as fast as possible.

Zhao Dahai walked onto the beach, staggered, almost fell, and held his hands on the ground to stabilize himself. He put down the hoe, put the bamboo basket containing the blood eel away, and sat on the sand. When he dug the last blood vein, the sea water It has reached the knees, the resistance of the sea mud to the feet, the weight of the blood and clams on the shoulders, especially after several hours of digging, the physical exertion is huge, and every step is very strenuous.

Zhao Dahai was panting heavily, his body was hollowed out, he had no strength at all, he was not in a hurry to go back, he was too tired to rest for a while, but when he thought of the blood eel that weighed at least six or seven catties in the bamboo basket, all the hard work was worth it up.

The sun slowly sank into the sea.

Night falls.

Zhao Dahai walked slowly along the beach towards the village.

"Yo!"

"The sea."

"What did you do?"

…

"This clam soup is really good."

…

"At three or four o'clock, I was digging razor clams and saw you walking around the beach in front of the mangroves."

"Dig the blood eel?!"

…

The village pier is very lively. There are almost a dozen or twenty fishing boats with people on board, all of them are sorting the fishing nets or washing the fishing boats, preparing to go out to sea for fishing later.

“You can’t just sit at home and make some money by digging some blood eels, right?!”

…

"Nice size."

"It's just too difficult to dig!"

"My back hurts after such an afternoon."

…

"I don't know if there haven't been many diggers lately, but the quantity is pretty good."

"Go and dig if you have nothing to do."

…

Zhao Dahai stopped and chatted for about ten minutes before walking home.

The people in the village know that they will dig blood eels tomorrow?

That's for sure!

Dodge the people in the village?

If you want to do this, just take a long way around. I have done this before. At least for the next day or two, no one in the village will know that I am digging blood eels, especially how much I have dug. I will definitely make a lot of money. However, I can't do that now. I used to be a bastard, and no one in the village looked down upon me. I could do whatever I wanted. In recent times, I have changed a lot in the impression of people in the village, and no one dares to look down on me. Otherwise, where would so many people come to say hello? It is inappropriate for me to hide and tuck in as before. If I continue to do this, the people in the village will definitely isolate me. No matter where you are, you can't really survive on your own. You may encounter something, and you may not need help from others one day. He did not hide the matter of digging up blood eels, he was generous and did not talk about the high price acquisition. Liu Gang said to himself, but he did not say that this was the public purchase price in the restaurant. He said it casually, in case a bunch of people dug it. He bought a lot of blood eels and ran to Liu Gang. If Liu Gang refused to accept the price, he would be causing trouble. Liu Gang blamed himself as much as those who dug up the blood eels.

"Do you want to dig up the blood eel? It's really big! Zhao Dahai must have dug out five or six kilograms in just half a day!"

…

"I can't do this!"

"It's a waste of money to dig this thing. I'll use my arms and legs for half a day. I'll have to lie in bed motionless for several days. It's not worth it!"

…

"never mind!"

“Not everyone can earn this kind of money!”

"I can just go out and fish in the sea honestly!"

…

People at the dock were very envious when they saw that Zhao Dahai had dug several kilograms of blood eels. Many people were ready to make a move, but they quickly gave up their thoughts. Not everyone could dig up blood eels. Just because Zhao Dahai earned this money does not mean that others People can make this kind of money, it really depends on their health.
