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

Zhao Dahai drove his tricycle and turned the corner. He let out a sigh of relief. He was really nervous when he saw Zhang Li. He calmed down and went directly to the fishing tackle shop.

These two trips to the open sea consumed a lot of string hooks, and the types of string hooks were not enough. The hook doors on my hands were too small. The fish in the outer sea are different from those in the inland sea. They are generally larger in size, such as black sea bream. To put it bluntly, it is more difficult to catch black sea bream weighing one, two or three catties in the inland sea. Generally speaking, half a catty is very good. Black sea bream weighing one catty in the outer sea is considered small. Two or three catties are relatively small. It is common, even weighing five or six kilograms. You need to prepare larger string hooks. In addition, it is easy to hang on the bottom in the open sea. You must prepare more string hooks, lead pendants and even hooks. In addition, you should specially choose some large ones with very high strength. The hook is specially used to catch big grouper or other big fish.

Zhao Dahai bought a lot of things in one go, spending almost two thousand yuan. It is true that fishing in the sea makes money, but the cost is also higher.

Zhao Dahai left the fishing tackle shop and went to the market to buy some food, especially pork. Now there is a refrigerator at home, and he bought almost fifty kilograms, including ribs or pork belly, etc. He often goes out to sea to fish, and now he travels to the sea, at home. There is relatively little time, especially when you are not at home at noon, so you need to prepare more meat. Zhong Cuihua can just defrost and cook it when she wants to eat it.

Zhao Dahai bought all the things and drove his tricycle back to the village.

The town fish market. The morning market is very lively, with people coming and going, all of them coming to buy fish, shrimp and crabs.

"This big brother!"

"Today's orchid crab is good!"

"Only forty-five yuan a catty!"

…

"Sister."

"Would you like the mud fish? Pan-fried or steamed with tangerine peel."

…

Ding Xiaoxiang greeted her business and glanced at her mother from time to time, murmuring in her heart. Today I was supposed to deliver the fish to Liu Gang's place, but something happened, so I went to deliver it myself. She didn't say anything when she came back. She was doing the same business but something wasn't right. It usually took half an hour to get back, but today it took a full hour.

Could it be that he happened to meet Zhao Dahai?

Ding Xiaoxiang was startled and immediately frowned. Zhao Dahai often went to Liu Gang's place to sell fish. It was normal for my mother to meet Zhao Dahai today.

What did you say?

Could it be that he scolded Zhao Dahai harshly?

This is how to do?

Ding Xiaoxiang was very anxious, but she didn't dare to ask Zhang Li. When she did, she confirmed that she often met Zhao Dahai.

Nothing can be asked.

Pretend nothing happened.

Ding Xiaoxiang collected herself, tried to calm down, and continued selling fish.

ten o'clock in the morning.

The fish market gradually became deserted, and the people who bought vegetables in the morning had already gone back.

Ding Xiaoxiang tidied up the stall quickly. Of the almost 500 kilograms of various fish, shrimps and crabs she brought over in the morning, only less than ten kilograms were left. Business was very good.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and endured it all morning. Now she had to ask carefully.

"Xiaoxiang."

"When I sent the fish to Liu Gang's place in the morning, I happened to meet Zhao Dahai."

Zhang Li spoke directly.

"ah!"

"Does Zhao Dahai often go to Liu Gang's place to sell fish? It's normal to run into him. I ran into him last time."

Ding Xiaoxiang was mentally prepared and very calm. She really met her. She sent fish yesterday and the day before, but she didn't meet her. If she had known that she would send fish today no matter what, now she not only missed an opportunity to meet, What's more important is that I don't know what my mother said to Zhao Dahai.

"Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea. Do you know about this?"

Zhang Li washed her hands as she spoke and picked up the water glass. The business was so good that she couldn't stop at all. Only now did she have time to drink water.

"ah?"

"How could I know this? I just met Liu Gang selling fish at the restaurant. I didn't say a few words and just said hello."

Ding Xiaoxiang opened her eyes and said nonsense. How could I not know that Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea? It was still my idea, but I absolutely could not admit it. Once I admitted it, I would find that I and Zhao Dahai secretly met.

Zhang Li choked back all the words that were full of her stomach, Ding Xiaoxiang beat her to death and refused to admit it, she really couldn't help it, she was a little depressed, a little angry, but she couldn't get angry, so she took a deep breath and calmed down for a while.

"Zhao Dahai went fishing in the sea and the harvest was very good."

"A large black sea bream weighing more than 80 kilograms, plus a sesame spot, the key is a red spot weighing more than ten kilograms."

Zhang Li observed the expression on Ding Xiaoxiang's face while talking.

"No way?"

"Is Zhao Dahai so powerful? Is it so profitable to go fishing outside the sea?"

"mom!"

"All these fish can be sold for 20,000 yuan, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang's face showed just the right surprise.

Zhang Li had nothing to do, Ding Xiaoxiang was the quickest to calculate the account, and immediately knew how much Zhao Dahai had earned.

"snort!"

"Going out to sea to fish does not necessarily make money. If you don't have the skills, you won't have any pants left. The cost of every trip to sea is very high."

"If you don't have your own speedboat, you have to take someone else's speedboat. The boat fare is 2,000 yuan per person, and even 3,000 yuan if you go to a farther place."

"How many fish do I have to catch to earn back?!"

Zhang Li is very clear about the market. It is not 100% guaranteed to make money from fishing in the sea. It is very rare for Zhao Dahai to earn more than 20,000 yuan in one trip.

"ah?!"

"Is the cost so high?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was taken aback, she really didn't know that it would cost so much money to go fishing for a day in someone else's speedboat.

"Do you think it's only two or three hundred yuan? How is this possible? A speedboat for fishing in the open sea has to travel one or two hundred nautical miles a day!"

Zhang Li heard these things from Ding Chongshan. When fishing in the open sea, you have to constantly change fishing spots. The distance between fishing spots is very far. The gasoline engine basically doesn't stop for a day, and the gasoline alone has to burn two to three hundred dollars. l, the cost is very high.

"Looking at it this way, Zhao Dahai is really very powerful!"

Now Ding Xiaoxiang understands that fishing in the open sea is not as simple as she thought, which further proves that Zhao Dahai is very good.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes with a look of admiration for little stars, and regretted that she shouldn't have said this. What girls of this age admire most is a capable man. Such things will deepen Ding Xiaoxiang's affection for Zhao Dahai, but she has already said Once you leave the mouth, you cannot take it back.

"correct!"

"Did Zhao Dahai catch a large yellow croaker weighing more than ten kilograms?"

Zhang Li thought of this incident, and when she saw Zhao Dahai in front of Liu Gang's restaurant just now, she wanted to ask, but she endured it.

"ah?"

"A large yellow croaker weighing more than ten kilograms?"

"No way?"

"mom!"

"Are you sure you mean big yellow croaker and not other fish?"

Ding Xiaoxiang had a very shocked look on her face, but she was a little proud in her heart. This was really caught by Zhao Dahai. The key was that she saw the fish, which was really very big.

"correct!"

"mom!"

"If there is such a big yellow croaker, how much can it be sold for?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very curious about how much Zhao Dahai could sell for this big yellow croaker.

"It can range from two to three hundred thousand to more than three to five million!"

Zhang Li thought about it for a while. The price of large yellow croaker, especially the large yellow croaker weighing more than ten pounds, fluctuates greatly. If you meet a rich boss, you can pay any price. If you sell it to a fishmonger, or if you are stupid and don't know the market price, you can sell it. There is no price, which is cheaper for those who buy this fish.

Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes widened suddenly. She knew that the big yellow croaker was valuable, but she didn't know it was so valuable. She immediately thought that Zhao Dahai wanted to buy a big speedboat, and this one fish was enough.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and sighed in her heart. She must be hiding something from herself. Her daughter knew that she was very smart and had already thought about how to answer her. No matter how she asked, it was useless. She was at this age. Come here, know what's going on, the women's university is outward, there is no good way.

"snort!"

"so what?"

"No matter what, I'm still Ding Xiaoxiang's wife!"

"Zhao Dahai has millions of ideas, and he has to pass his own test!"

"One day I really come to the door, I won't give him a good face!"

Zhang Li swore secretly that one day Zhao Dahai really came to the door, and he would make a face.

Ding Xiaoxiang wanted to know what her mother said when she saw Zhao Dahai in the morning, but she couldn't ask now because the secret would be revealed if she asked. She could only keep it in her heart and wait until she saw Zhao Dahai next time to ask.

Zhao Dahai returned to Langtou Village and saw the courtyard door open from a distance. This was someone coming to his home. He turned the accelerator and the tricycle suddenly picked up speed. He drove to the courtyard door and looked inside. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin waited for him.

Zhao Dahai parked the tricycle, took all the things he bought, walked into the yard and put them in the corner, washed his hands, and sat down on a stool.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Dahai directly asked Zhong Shizhu and the others what they wanted to do with him.

Zhong Shizhu said that there have been orchid crabs in the sea recently and there are a lot of them.

Zhao Dahai's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the orchid crabs he saw Zhang Li sent over in front of Liu Gang's restaurant just now, they were all good in size.

"Are you planning to go out to sea to catch orchid crabs?"

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"That's right! It's indeed a plan to catch orchid crabs."

…

"Zhao Dahai."

"We want to see if you are interested in taking us to sea to make a fortune."

…

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou felt that if Zhao Dahai could go to sea together, there would be a good harvest.

Zhao Dahai originally thought about continuing to go overseas tomorrow, but after thinking about it for a while, he changed his mind and nodded.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin saw that Zhao Dahai agreed to come down, chatted for a while, and made an appointment to leave the pier at 3:30 tomorrow morning.

"Didn't it mean that you will continue to go out to sea tomorrow? Catching orchid crabs is not as profitable as the fish you catch."

Zhong Cuihua couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai changed his mind.

"grandmother!"

"You can't have such good luck every day if you go out to sea. Today when I was selling fish, I saw someone sending a lot of orchid crabs to Liu Gang's restaurant. The season is really here and the price is really good."

"Besides, if Zhong Shizhu and the others come to visit us, they will definitely have to make a trip. I have never caught orchid crabs before. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in learning from them."

Zhao Dahai knows that catching orchid crabs is more profitable than his two trips to the open sea for fishing. However, traveling to the open sea is not always so profitable. On the contrary, now is the season of orchid crabs. You can catch as many orchid crabs as you go out to sea, and you will definitely make money. The only difference is that it is the season for orchid crabs. Even if you make more money, you will earn less. I have never caught orchid crabs before. If I follow people like Zhong Shizhu, I will definitely learn a lot. Maybe I will catch orchid crabs alone. With experience and No experience makes a big difference.

Zhong Cuihua didn't say anything more, what she said made sense.

Zhao Dahai took a good rest after lunch. In the afternoon, he went to Zhong Shizhu's house and helped sort out the crab nets for catching orchid crabs. He took them to the fishing boat and laid them out. After dinner at six or seven o'clock, he accompanied Grandma Zhong Cuihua took a stroll and went to bed early.

Dashi Village.

Ten p.m.

Ding Xiaoxiang’s home.

Ding Zhongshan, Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang are having dinner. Business people can only eat after they are busy, and usually it is very late.

"I went to Liu Gang's restaurant to deliver orchid crabs today. He wants more."

"Five hundred pounds."

"The price is 135 yuan per catty, what do you think? Can you send more to Liu Gang's restaurant tomorrow?"

While eating, Zhang Li talked about Liu Gang's desire for five hundred catties of orchid crabs tomorrow.

Ding Chongshan thought for a while and nodded. The price Liu Gang offered was not too high. It could even be sold to others for a higher price. However, considering the long-term cooperation, the more you give, the more you give. It is not easy to do business. Being able to patronize each trip to earn the most money is not to sell to whoever offers a higher price.

"correct."

"How about the big green spot? Can you find out who caught it? Is it really as big as a hundred catties?"

Zhang Li remembered that she had promised Liu Gang to inquire about this matter.

"ah?"

"mom!"

"What are you talking about? How could anyone catch such a big blue spot?"

"Fifty or sixty catties is already a big deal!"

When Ding Xiaoxiang heard Zhang Li's words, she immediately interrupted. Zhao Dahai had caught a blue spot weighing fifty to sixty pounds, which was already a big deal. When he heard that there was a bigger one, he immediately didn't believe it. How could anyone be more powerful than Zhao Dahai.

"Why!"

"It's all said like this. Don't you ask me what news you have heard?"

Zhang Li turned her head to look at Ding Xiaoxiang, and felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"There are all kinds of fish in this sea!"

"Don't talk about the big blue spot weighing 100 kilograms. There are even bigger ones. When I was a kid, a distant-water fishing boat caught a big blue spot weighing 120 to 30 kilograms."

Ding Chongshan smiled, it is indeed rare to have large green spots that weigh more than a hundred catties, but it does not mean that there are no such spots.

"ah?"

"Are you saying this is true? That big blue spot at the Pier in Paiwan Village really weighed a hundred pounds?"

Zhang Li was very surprised and immediately asked.

"There was indeed a big blue spot at the pier in Paiwan Village, but it was not weighed there. I asked the speedboat owner and he said it weighed more than 100 pounds."

“Not only does it weigh more than a hundred pounds, but it’s also fished.”

“The key is not to use an electric winch, but to fish by hand. It’s really amazing!”

Ding Chongshan inquired about the details.

"dad!"

"Isn't this too exaggerated? How could anyone catch such a big fish? It's a hundred pounds, not ten pounds!"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head, not believing it at all.

"ah?!"

"The news that came out is all true!"

"Who caught this fish? Do you know which village it belongs to?"

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang again, and the idea that something was wrong just now became stronger.

"From Langtou Village!"

"It's a man named Zhao Dahai!"

"I heard that it was the first time I followed Chen Wenjiang from Paiwan Village on a speedboat and went out to sea, and I caught such a big fish."

"This man named Zhao Dahai is really very powerful. This matter is not easy."

Ding Chongshan likes fishing very much, but he doesn't have much time to go to sea because of his business. He knows very well how difficult it is to catch such a big blue spot with a hand spinning wheel.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, never expecting that it was Zhao Dahai who caught the big blue spot.

When Ding Xiaoxiang heard that it was Zhao Dahai who caught the fish, she felt a little guilty. She looked at Zhang Li, stopped talking, and lowered her head to eat.

"Wow!"

"Zhao Dahai is so powerful, can he catch such a big grouper?!"

"Why!"

"I thought it belonged to someone else? Others must not be able to catch such a big fish!"

"Zhao Dahai is different. If you can catch fifty or sixty catties, you can definitely catch one hundred catties!"

Ding Xiaoxiang kept murmuring in her heart while eating, thinking that the next time she saw Zhao Dahai, she would have to ask him how he caught such a big blue spot. At 100 kilograms, it was already bigger than her own. It's a heavy fish.

Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang who lowered his head to eat and stopped talking. He suddenly realized why he kept saying that it was impossible for anyone to catch such a big fish. This clearly meant that there was no way that anyone could be more powerful than Zhao Dahai. Now When I heard that the person who caught a hundred kilograms of big stone was Zhao Dahai, I stopped talking for a while. I must have felt that Zhao Dahai could do it if others couldn't do it.

"It's a pity that this fish has been sold!"

…

"I heard it was in the hands of a man named Wu Weimin."

…

"A boss has already made a reservation, and released a message to invite guests to dinner. The main course is a big green spot weighing more than 100 catties."

…

Ding Chongshan felt that it was a pity. There were many bosses who asked him to get information and wanted to buy the fish. However, he received the information too late and the fish had already been bought by others.

Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang tacitly pretended not to know Zhao Dahai at all.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Zhong Dahai walked to the pier and saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were already on the fishing boat. He said hello, made preparations, and immediately left the pier to go to sea to catch orchid crabs.

I don't know what kind of harvest I will have today?

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and followed Zhong Shizhu. The sea breeze blew a little cold, and he suddenly felt energetic. Looking at the dark sea, he couldn't help but start looking forward to today's harvest.

Thank you for your support! Thank you very much! The results far exceeded my expectations.
