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

Zhao Dahai was not anxious at all. He was as steady as an old dog. One after another, the manta fish was pulled to less than two meters from the side of the boat. It looked even bigger this time.

"The sea!"

"The fish is too big to use the net!"

"A hook without a long handle!"

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayong were anxiously running around.

Zhao Dahai didn't expect that he would catch such a big fish, especially a devil fish. The largest diameter of the net he prepared was one meter, but it was not enough to see this fish. The fish on the surrounding fishing boats were The dip net is also a bit small. What's even worse is that there is no hook with a long handle. The short ones don't work. When hooking, the tail of the manta ray flicks, which can kill people. The fish is important, but life is even more important.

what to do?

Zhao Dahai looked at the manta ray floating on the water. Don't look at the peaceful and harmless appearance now. It's just that he was tired. If it took too long to get on the fishing boat or didn't pull it ashore, he must have regained his strength. It will continue to struggle and may run away.

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless. After spending a long time, he finally pulled it out of the water, but there was nothing he could do.

"Is there something wrong with your mind? Pull to the shore!"

Zhao Shi got up early in the morning and was having breakfast. Someone in the village shouted that Zhao Dahai had caught a huge manta ray at the small pier. He threw the bowl away and came over immediately. He happened to see the manta ray pull out of the water. Zhao Dahai didn't know what to do. He yelled immediately. Such a big manta fish was pulled out of the water. It would be a shame if it really ran away. A fish of this size ran away just once and was impossible to catch again.

Zhao Dahai's eyes lit up. Why didn't you think of this method? You can't catch it with a net, and you can't hook it without a hook with a long handle. The only way and the best way is to pull it to the shore. My fishing boat is only about 20 meters away from the shore when I test the water. The cable on the bow of the boat is What is hooked is the beach. As long as you pull the cable and drag the fishing boat to the shore, you can go ashore.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou realized the same thing and pulled the cable to pull the fishing boat to the beach.

Zhao Dahai controlled the fishing line in his hand and pulled the manta ray forward in the direction of the fishing boat. The manta ray struggled for a long time and didn't have much strength. Like a good rabbit, it just pulled it as much as it wanted. When the boat got to the shore, it stepped on it. After reaching the beach on the water, I continued to pull the manta ray to the shore, and soon it was stranded on the beach where the waves were beating.

Zhao Shi took the seven or eight meter long dianthus pole from Zhao Dahai's fishing boat and held down the long tail of the manta ray.

Zhao Dahai put down his fishing rod and walked over, trampled the tail of the manta ray to death, and pulled out the finger-sized venomous stinger on the tail. Only then did he feel relieved. He dug his hands into the nostrils of the manta ray and dragged it ashore. .

"Second Grandpa!"

"You still need to be experienced before you are old enough!"

Zhao Dahai sat down on the beach. The manta fish had exhausted all his strength and had to take a rest.

"snort!"

"With so many people here, no one has thought of this method?"

Zhao Shi glared at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, stood up, and found a large basket. The manta ray had left the water and had no stinger. It was so soft that it could only be slaughtered. He put it into the big basket and put it on the back frame of the motorcycle. On the way up, he yelled to Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to come home for lunch at noon, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the town to sell fish.

Hongyun Restaurant.

Liu had just finished collecting the fish delivered in the morning and had not finished smoking a cigarette. He looked at Zhao Dahai from a distance as he came on a motorcycle.

Why are you here today?

Liu Gang is a little strange. Zhao Dahai has been selling blood eels for half a month and twenty days now, and he has not come once. He said that he would not fish for the time being while repairing the boat. If he came today, could he mean that the fishing boat was repaired and went out to sea? Fish seller! ?

Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and stopped in front of Liu Gang. Without saying a word, he opened the plastic sheet covering the basket.

"ah?"

"Such a big stingray!"

Liu Gang was startled.

"hehe!"

"Just caught it! Boss Liu, do you want it?"

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and wiped it on the manta ray to see if the fish was fresh or not. Looking at the mucus, his hand was full of mucus. It was absolutely fresh.

"hehe!"

"How could you not want it? Ten yuan a pound!"

Liu Gang glanced at the manta rays in the basket, thought about it for a while and then offered the price of ten yuan per catty.

"Boss Liu."

"Three to five kilograms, ten to eight kilograms of manta ray, let alone ten yuan, were sold for three to five yuan a kilogram. This fish must be over a hundred kilograms. The meat is nothing. The most valuable thing is the fish liver."

"How about I cut out the liver and sell the fish meat to you. Not ten yuan. I'll sell it for eight yuan a pound!"

Zhao Dahai will not be fooled. Small manta rays are really not very valuable, and no one even wants them. For example, one or two kilograms of size costs two or three yuan per kilogram. The one I caught by myself is worth more than a hundred people, and its worth is immediately different. It is really valuable. It's not the meat of this fish but the liver. The liver of such a big fish is very big. This is the truly delicious thing. For some people who like to eat, it is definitely the top delicacy.

"Yo!"

"No more cod liver. Don't talk about eight pieces. I don't even want six pieces!"

…

"Why doesn't the meat of a hundred pounds of stingray taste bad? It can't be sold for only six yuan at the vegetable market?"

…

"Twelve yuan a pound!"

…

"Twenty-one pounds!"

"I won't sell it for less than this amount!"

…

Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang bargained and sold the manta ray for eighteen yuan per catty. When weighed, it was one hundred and twenty-three catties and seven taels, or two thousand two hundred and twenty-six yuan and sixty cents.

Liu Gang watched Zhao Dahai leave on his motorcycle, looked down at the manta ray, and a smile immediately appeared on his painful face. Eighteen yuan per pound is indeed not cheap, but you can make a lot of money. Manta rays have no hard bones, only cartilage. Small manta rays have no meat and are very soft and not tasty at all. But manta rays weighing dozens of kilograms or even more than a hundred kilograms in front of you can be braised with garlic and ginger. , tender and sweet, with crispy cartilage and very delicious, especially the liver of the manta ray. Zhao Dahai is right, this is the most valuable part of the whole fish.

Liu Gang shouted, and the restaurant chef came out, and the two of them studied how to kill the stingray to get out the complete fish liver.

Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and bought braised beef, pig scalp, etc., and two bottles of wine at the delicatessen in the town. He returned to Langtou Village and called out to Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou who had helped him in the morning. His second grandfather was indispensable. Zhao Shi, eating meat and drinking wine in the courtyard.

"The manta ray is really big! It probably swam from the deep sea with the tide. If you hadn't caught it by chance, it would have definitely returned to the deep sea when the tide went out."

Zhong Shizhu pinched a piece of pig scalp and put it in his mouth.

"ha!"

"Zhao Dahai's luck is really amazing. The fishing boat got off to a good start even before it actually went out to fish."

"That's a good sign!"

Lei Dayou smiled and took a sip of wine. A giant manta ray weighing more than 120 kilograms can be caught in shallow water such as a small pier in a village. You really have to be lucky.

Zhao Shi took a sip of wine, ate a piece of pig scalp, and smoked a water pipe from time to time. He said nothing and was very happy in his heart. Lei Dayou was right. He caught a big fish without going to sea. It was really good. Omen.
