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

Dashi Village.

At Ding Xiaoxiang's house, she had just finished eating and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching TV.

"Since when did our family finish eating so early and sit here?"

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Ding Chongshan and then at Zhang Li, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Fishing boats will not be able to go to sea tomorrow."

"It is not easy to sell fish or buy fish, shrimps and crabs."

Ding Zhongshan took a sip from his teacup and started his own business of buying fish, shrimps and crabs. He usually got up early in the dark, but the number of fishing boats going out to sea during the fishing moratorium was greatly reduced, and the fishing boats returning to Hong Kong had very few fish, shrimps and crabs. Things can be done, go home early, eat early, sit down early and drink tea.

"ah?"

"What can we do? Does it mean that there will be no fish, shrimps and crabs to sell at our fish stall tomorrow?"

Ding Xiaoxiang became anxious all of a sudden.

Ding Chongshan shook his head. It’s not that there are no fish, shrimps and crabs to sell during the fishing moratorium, but most of them are chilled fish, shrimps and crabs, or fish, shrimps and crabs caught in the ocean. Don’t even think about small boats. There are a lot of fish in the cold storage. It is impossible to have no fish. available for sale.

"Your dad has already made preparations, but the fish sold at the stall tomorrow are all fresh fish, and few of them are fresh fish of the day."

Zhang Li turned on the TV.

"ah?"

"Is there no small boat that came back that day?"

“Isn’t it true that you can’t eat any fresh fish?”

Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't accept it. She grew up in a fishing village and was used to eating fresh fish, shrimp and crabs caught that day. The chilled fish is not bad, but she has a very picky mouth, which is a bit unacceptable.

"How can you miss the fresh fish you eat? Others can't eat fresh fish, but you Ding Xiaoxiang can't eat it? It's not that there is no fresh fish at this time, it's just that it is relatively small."

Zhang Li chose a TV series and watched it with gusto.

Ding Chongshan told Ding Xiaoxiang that during the fishing moratorium, "fishing is not allowed". There are fresh fish, and the most important thing is the fish in the fishing mouth. Not all fishing boats go out to sea to fish with fishing nets. There are many fishing boats. Go fishing.

"dad."

"There are fewer fishing boats, and there will definitely be more fish that can be caught. In addition, the number of fish caught can't be compared, and so many are caught with fishing nets. Doesn't the price have to go up?"

Ding Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes a few times and immediately thought of Zhao Dahai's fishing boat.

"Um."

"The price of these fish caught by fishing boats during the fishing moratorium will increase by at least 20%, and for some better fish, it can increase by 50%."

"If you can catch fish at this time, especially if you can catch a lot of fish, you can make a lot of money."

Ding Chongshan has been buying fish, shrimps and crabs for many years and is very familiar with the market. The fishing moratorium is the most profitable time for fishing boats.

Ding Xiaoxiang is very happy. Zhao Dahai can not only make money now, but also make a lot of money.

"Why!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Why are you so happy right away?"

Zhang Li broke off a peanut and looked at Ding Xiaoxiang sitting next to her. She was so happy that a smile appeared on her face.

"ah?"

"Is there any?"

"Aren't I just talking to dad about the fishing moratorium? How can I be happy or unhappy?!"

The corners of Ding Xiaoxiang's mouth pursed, and her smile was forced back.

Zhang Li glared at Ding Xiaoxiang. She must have thought of that boy Zhao Dahai, but she didn't admit it because she couldn't help it.

late at night.

Ding Xiaoxiang was lying on the bed.

"Why!"

"Zhao Dahai will go fishing tomorrow, right? He will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to make money!"

…

"Do you know how many fish you can catch?"

…

"I have to remind him that the price needs to be increased, and he can't stupidly sell it to that profiteer Liu Gang at the usual price!"

…

Ding Xiaoxiang had all kinds of thoughts in her mind and fell asleep in a daze.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up early in the morning. After breakfast, he took the fishing rod and other things prepared last night, especially the live shrimps kept in the small water tank for oxygenation, and went out to stride towards the pier.

Zhao Dahai boarded the speedboat and looked around the pier. The fishing boats like Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin who went out to sea to release fishing nets were all parked well. Since the fishing moratorium began, their fishing boats were not allowed to go fishing.

It was a little overcast.

The clouds are a little low.

Zhao Dahai frowned. The weather looked like it might rain. He turned on the radio and listened to the weather forecast. There would be light rain or even heavy rain but there was no wind.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. Those who go out to sea are not afraid of the rain but the wind. They drove the speedboat to leave the pier. Today is the first day of the fishing moratorium. There are a lot of fishing boats on the sea. Normally, there are a lot of fishing boats on the sea.

Zhao Dahai turned on the navigation, and the speed became faster and faster.

The sky is getting darker and darker.

It began to rain lightly, and the sea was covered with water.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and rushed to a fishing spot for black bream in the open sea. He slowed down and looked around. He thought he had arrived early enough, but it was only a little after five o'clock. He didn't expect that there would be someone earlier than him. There are already speedboats at the point and there are more than one.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

With the beginning of the fishing moratorium, the number of fishing boats setting out fishing nets has decreased significantly, and the price of fish, shrimp, and crabs has immediately increased.

Fishing boats are very aware that this is a rare opportunity to make money.

Everyone wants to go to sea early and occupy the best fishing spots, catch more fish and earn the most money.

Zhao Dahai has been looking for fishing spots for the past ten days. When he saw two or three of the best spots, there were three to five or even seven or eight speedboats crowded together. He did not join in the fun. The remaining spots were Pick the best one and stop right away.

Zhao Dahai took out two sets of poles of the electric winch, one in front of him and one behind him. They were stuck on the turret. The fishing rig for catching black sea bream was very simple. It only consisted of a bait cage, a lead pendant and a string. The hook was tied and stuffed with Antarctic shrimp in a while. A sea centipede was hung on the hook. I looked at the fish detector and found that the depth of the sea water was 89 meters and the fish were concentrated at 80 to 85 meters. Immediately Putting out the line, it reached the water layer directly, and waited for a while without any movement.

Doesn't the fish open its mouth?

This is not a good thing!

When fishing in the open sea, especially fishing for fish like black sea bream, the bite is very fierce as soon as you open your mouth. You don’t even need to tease the fish to take the bait. If you don’t open your mouth, it will be useless no matter what you do. You will just watch the water of nearly 100 meters. There are fish down there, but you can’t catch them.

Zhao Dahai raised the pole, waited for two or three seconds, and lowered it heavily. The lead pendant, carrying the entire line group, shook violently several times, and the Antarctic shrimps in the bait cage spilled out.

Zhao Dahai waited for another minute or two, but there was no movement. He pushed the electric winch to take up the line. The bait cage and string hook were pulled out of the water. The bait cage was empty. All the Antarctic shrimps had been scattered out, and the sea centipedes hanging on the string hook were , complete and complete,

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and continued to stuff Antarctic shrimps into the bait cage, replaced the sea centipedes and put them back into the sea, directly to the water layer.

once!

twice!

three times!

Zhao Dahai's brows furrowed more and more. In the blink of an eye, almost an hour passed. After more than a dozen trips up and down, he only caught five black bream. These five black eagles were all relatively small, less than the size of a hand. This size is quite good for inland seas. Fishing for black sea bream like this in the outer seas is a 100% loss.

what happened?

Why don’t the black sea bream here open their mouths?

Zhao Dahai had a headache. Even though he was small and didn't speak much, he spent more money buying Antarctic shrimp for making nests in the past hour than selling the black sea bream he caught.

Zhao Dahai looked at the other speedboats around him. They were all in the same situation. It took a while to catch a few fish sparsely. Some people on the speedboats closer to him couldn't stand it and were very irritable.

The rain is getting heavier.

Zhao Dahai was wearing a raincoat, and the rainwater flowed in from the collar. Half of his clothes were wet, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Is it because of the weather?

Or is there no tide? No running water?

Are these black sea bream all full?

Anything is possible!

Fish can clearly see the topography of the seabed a hundred meters or even deeper, including whether there are schools of fish, but seeing fish schools does not mean that fish can be caught.

Schools of fish can often be seen, especially large schools of fish such as black sea bream and yellow chicken.

But it is really impossible to catch them, or very few can be caught.

Zhao Dahai's face was very serious. He thought about making a lot of money during the fishing moratorium, but reality gave him a slap in the face and a basin of ice-cold water poured on his forehead.

Zhao Dahai wiped the rain off his face, and there were already many speedboats leaving around him.

Should we change to another fishing spot with black sea bream?

If the black snapper doesn't open its mouth, will the yellow chicken open its mouth? Do you want to take a look at the fishing spots for yellow chicken?

Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and decided not to change fishing spots, but continued to fish for black sea bream. He would stay here today without catching any fish. The weather in front of him was the same as other places, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to catch any fish. It's all a gamble to just stay.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't stop. The entire sea was completely white.

Zhao Dahai pushed the switch of the electric winch to take up the line. After a while, the string hook was pulled out of the water. With five string hooks, he only caught one black seabream, which was less than the size of a palm.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand to hold the black snapper firmly, picked it off and threw it directly into the living cabin. The frontier Antarctic shrimp was hung with a centipede. Can't catch it.

What's going on?

If you really don't speak at all and don't eat, why do the fish schools get thicker and thicker?

It’s not that these fish don’t open their mouths, they just don’t open their mouths violently. They have no interest in sea centipedes. Are they all gathering here to eat Antarctic shrimps?

Doesn’t that mean we have to use Antarctic shrimp as bait?

Live shrimp?

Don’t even think about it!

Not to mention live shrimps, even shrimp meat has been tried, but it is of no use and cannot catch black sea bream.

Zhao Dahai immediately picked off the sea centipede on the hook, picked some large shrimps from the thawed Antarctic shrimp brick, and hung them up.

Is there any use?

Zhao Dahai put the line directly to the water layer, and pulled it up and down two or three times, but there was no movement, and continued to pull it a few more times.

The tip of the pole bent downwards sharply, shaking slightly.

Yo!

Really useful!

Live shrimp or shrimp meat plus Shanghai centipede is useless.

It seems that today’s black sea bream only likes to eat Antarctic shrimp.

Zhao Dahai did not rush to reel in the line, and continued to pull up and down to tease the fish, and another fish was hooked. However, no matter how hard he pulled the pole to tease the fish in the next six or seven minutes, no fish took the bait. He pushed the switch to reel in the line, and the string hook was pulled out of the water. Two black bream.

Zhao Dahai picked up the fish on a string and threw them into the live cabin. The Antarctic shrimp is useful, the bite will be better, but not much better.

Zhao Dahai put away the pole of the electric winch and replaced it with a hand-operated spinning wheel. He used the same fishing rig and hung the relatively large Antarctic shrimp directly on the hook. The activity of the black snapper on the bottom of the sea was very poor and there was not much activity at all. Biting the mouth, the electric winch fixed on the gun mount is inconvenient to operate. The only way is to try the hand-cranked spinning wheel to see if it works.

Zhao Dahai was very patient, holding the right hand of the fishing rod, shaking it with different amplitudes and frequencies.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Zhao Dahai shook, the spinning wheel began to take up the line, and the string hook pulled out four black breams from the water surface, one short of a full string, the most black bream caught at one time today.

Zhao Dahai put down his pole, picked up the string hook, picked the fish and threw them into the live cabin.

Zhao Dahai sighed without smiling at all.

We did catch fish, four fish at once. However, in order to catch these four fish, I spent a full ten minutes using various techniques to tease the fish and stimulate the bite. Needless to say, this was done by spinning a spinning wheel from a water depth of almost one hundred meters. Pull up fish.

The black bream is relatively big, say three to four catties, no problem, and it is very worthwhile to do so. But these black snappers are less than the size of a palm.

Very uneconomical!

But what can be done?

Zhao Dahai accepted the reality, and continued to use the pole of the spinning wheel, but he couldn't catch a palm-sized black snapper from the water nearly 100 meters away.

The town fish market.

The morning market is very lively, and there are people coming and going.

"Why are there so few fish, shrimps and crabs today?"

"Fishing has been suspended today, and the fishing boats can't go out to sea. How can there be so many fish, shrimps and crabs?"

…

"No matter what kind of fish, shrimp and crab, the price has increased a lot!"

…

Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li stood in front of the stall, very busy.

"It's not the fish we caught yesterday!"

…

"right!"

"Big ship's ice cargo!"

…

"It's the fishing moratorium now, so it's not easy to eat the fresh products of the day!"

…

Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li greeted the people who came to buy fish, shrimp and crabs. Most of the fish, shrimps and crabs on the stall today were fresh. There were no small boats caught on the same day, so the price seemed to have increased by 5% compared to usual. , Even so, the sales are still fast, and there is no such thing as a slow start.

Ding Xiaoxiang sold the last two big skinned fish on the stall and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, but it was only eight o'clock.

"mom"

"No more fish!"

While talking, Ding Xiaoxiang took off the gloves on her hands, washed her hands, picked up her water glass, and took a few sips of water.

Today is the first day of the fishing moratorium, and business is better than usual.

"It's gone, it's gone! That's all for today!"

Zhang Li shook her head. This is the case during the fishing moratorium. There are fish, shrimps and crabs, but most of them are chilled, and the quantity is relatively small.

"mom!"

"Can't we get more people here?"

Ding Xiaoxiang drank the water, looked around the stalls, there was not much business in normal times, there were a lot of people around today.

"How can it be like this?"

"Your dad's cold storage has a lot of fish, but it's impossible to sell them all today."

"There must be fish on the stalls throughout the fishing moratorium."

"This needs to be planned carefully!"

Zhang Li looked at the stalls around and the people who bought fish, shrimp and crabs. It was not that there was no fish, but it was really impossible to sell them all immediately.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Mom!"

"You are really too cunning!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled.

In business, you can’t have something to sell today and nothing to sell tomorrow. I would rather sell less things every day. You have to have something to sell every day. Only in this way can we maintain customers. In addition, today is just the first day of the fishing moratorium. The price of fish has increased, but not much. As time goes by, the price of fish, shrimp and crab will get higher and higher, reaching 20%, and you can earn more. money.

"What happened?"

"What can be done about this?"

“There are too few fish, shrimps and crabs during the fishing moratorium!”

Zhang Li glared at Ding Xiaoxiang.

nine in the morning.

The fish market slowly calmed down.

"Why!"

"The sea must be fishing outside now!"

"I wonder how the fishing was?"

Ding Xiaoxiang sat on a chair and looked outside, not knowing when it began to rain. Zhao Dahai must go out to sea. It is impossible to stay at home in this weather. I don't know where he is fishing now, and he doesn't know how he is fishing.

"When I go to deliver fish to Gang Liu tomorrow morning, see if I can meet Zhao Dahai."

Ding Xiaoxiang made up her mind that she would deliver fish no matter what tomorrow. Zhao Dahai would definitely sell the fish when he was fishing, especially when he caught a lot of fish. He also had to remind himself that the price of fish has increased now, so it cannot be cheap. Sell.

"Zhao Dahai is so good at fishing. There are so many less fishing boats with fishing nets."

“You’ll definitely be able to catch a lot of fish!”

Ding Xiaoxiang is looking forward to meeting Zhao Dahai tomorrow.
