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

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are you sure you can really make more money by doing this?"

Lei Da was a little worried. Zhao Dahai just said that these golden pomfrets would not be sold immediately, but would be pickled into dried salted fish.

"definitely!"

Zhao Dahai is very sure that he can definitely sell it at a higher price.

"That's not possible, is it?"

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da have the same view. There is no great need to pickle salted fish. Selling it fresh is the best way to convert it into money immediately. Especially now that it is the fishing moratorium, the price of fish is quite good.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"Uncle Dayou."

“Golden pomfret is not a fancy fish.”

"But if you pickle it into dried salted fish, the quality of such a big fish will immediately rise."

“Able to sell for a good price.”

Zhao Dahai grew up by the sea. He knew that golden pomfret was not a high-end fish and it was not easy to sell it at a good price. If he wanted to increase his worth, pickling it into salted fish was a simple and effective way.

"ha!"

"I think you two are really worrying about something unfounded!"

"Would Zhao Dahai do something he's not sure about?"

Liu Bin shook his head.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da laughed for a moment. Zhao Dahai must be confident to do such a thing, so there is no need to worry.

Zhao Dahai took a rest for a while. It was getting late, so he immediately drove the speedboat with both engines running and rushed back to the dock. All the fish were pulled back to the yard and all were frozen. It was already two o'clock in the morning when everything was finished.

Zhao Dahai walked back to the room and took out some money, one for wages, one for the many fish he caught today, and the other person received a red envelope worth two thousand yuan.

Did Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da politely excuse themselves? When they go fishing and catch a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs, the ship owner has the habit of covering up red spots. This is a common thing. There is nothing wrong with Zhao Dahai doing this. These people work hard and get peace of mind.

Zhao Dahai sent Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou away, and agreed that Ma Hongyu and others would come to help pickle the salted fish tomorrow. Each person would be paid 300 yuan a day. He and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua could not afford more than 2,000 yuan. Pomfret.

Zhao Dahai woke up and opened his eyes when he heard someone talking in the yard. He listened carefully and found the voices of Ma Hongyu and grandma Zhong Cuihua. He immediately got up and stretched, and went out to see. Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan were busy killing fish in the yard.

"Yo!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

“The size of these golden pomfrets I caught yesterday were really good!”

"It must be more than two thousand kilograms of fish!"

Ma Hongyu was quick with her hands and feet. She took a fish in her left hand and pressed it on the chopping board. She used a knife in her right hand to cut open the fish belly. The tip of the knife reached into the fish belly and scraped twice. All the fish intestines and other internal organs were scraped out. Will rinse it clean with water.

"Who would have thought that you could catch so many fish in the sea?"

Xu Dongxue smiled. When Liu Bin came back in the evening yesterday, he told himself that he had caught more than two thousand kilograms of golden pomfret. He didn't believe it at all. When he came to see it this morning, he was shocked. It must be more than two thousand kilograms.

"ha!"

"I was lucky yesterday. I happened to hit that place with a big school of fish."

"Liu Bin, Uncle Liu and the others work hard and work hard."

"Only one can catch so many."

Zhao Dahai pulled up a stool and sat down, just about to work.

"Why!"

"The sea."

"You don't need to do this anymore, just a few of us."

Roland immediately stopped him.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while and nodded. Even though there were so many fish, Ma Hongyu and the others were quick and could kill them all in half a day.

Zhao Dahai was not idle, and immediately found a large dustpan made of bamboo at home. There were many fish, and it was not enough. He went to the second grandfather Zhao Shi's and Zhong Shizhu's homes, borrowed a dozen of them, and washed them all. , let it dry.

3pm.

Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan killed all the golden pomfrets, washed them with salt water three times and marinated them, then placed them one by one on the dustpan to dry. After all the work was done, it was already five or six o'clock in the evening.

The sun sets.

The evening breeze blows gently.

Zhao Dahai stood in front of the first dustpan at the beginning. In just over an hour, the moisture on the top of the fish skin had dried up, making it tight and wrinkled.

"good!"

“It’s really good!”

Zhao Dahai looked at the golden pomfrets one after another on a dozen dustpans in the open space in front of the yard, feeling very good.

Golden pomfret has a fatal weakness. The fish meat has a special smell. People who like it will think it is the scent of licorice. Most people don't like this smell and cannot accept it. However, it can be pickled into dried salted fish. When fried in oil, this smell is greatly reduced and turns into another very charming aroma. People who don't like fresh golden pomfret will immediately change their attitude.

In addition, the golden pomfrets I caught were very large, so it was easy to sell them at a good price. Actually, it’s the same thing as red drum. Red drum fish are sold fresh. The fish has little flavor and is not cooked properly, so it is not delicious. However, once it is pickled into salted dried fish, the fish is big and thick, and its value doubles.

Sold to Liu Gang or to Wu Weimin?

Liu Gang's restaurant doesn't really need this kind of dried fish, right?

Zhao Dahai was wondering who to sell these golden pomfrets to after they were dried. He initially planned to sell them to Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant, but after careful consideration for a while, he thought it would be better to sell them to Wu Weimin. But there is no need to rush this matter, it will take at least three to five days to dry.

After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, he remembered that the speedboat was almost out of fuel and he would have to continue running out to sea early tomorrow morning. He immediately went to the dock and drove the speedboat to refuel and fill up the tank.

Zhao Dahai went home early and went to bed early. He got up at around four o'clock the next morning. After breakfast, he carried the things he had prepared to the pier, got on the speedboat, packed up briefly, and immediately went to sea. Every day's life was almost exactly the same. , either on the way to fish, on the way to sell fish, or some daily things, nothing earth-shattering.

Zhao Dahai was almost two nautical miles away from the pier. He clicked on the navigation. No yellow chickens or black sea bream were caught today. We would not go to Windmill Corner for the time being. After catching so many fish, there was not much left. It would take time to gather fish or maybe When fish appear, go straight to grouper fishing.

Zhao Dahai ran for a full three hours, basically at a speed of forty knots, and covered more than a hundred nautical miles in one go.

Zhao Dahai looked at the navigation and fish finder, and immediately approached the spot where he would fish for grouper today. He raised his head and looked east. The sun was almost rising. He looked around at the sea. It was calm. He was the only one in a speedboat. No one else, no other speedboat.

Zhao Dahai shook his head and went fishing in the open sea. He often encountered such a situation. If he was not brave enough, he would not dare to come to such a place.

Today’s fishing spot is very far away. Ordinary speedboats would be reluctant to travel such a distance and would have to burn a lot of gasoline.

Zhao Dahai couldn't catch grouper at the Windmill Corner fishing spot several times before, so he decided to try hard today. This is the furthest fishing spot he knows.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and saw that the water depth had reached 120 meters. He just thought about trying the hand spinning wheel and gave up immediately. It was really a bit deep and the hand spinning wheel couldn't do much good in a place like this. The line is too long, and the movement and feeling of the hand are greatly affected. In addition, once there are fish in such depth of sea water, their openings will be very fierce, so delicate operation is not needed at all.

Zhao Dahai immediately started to prepare. The electric winch was installed on the pole, and the pole was locked on the fort. He plugged in the electric winch plug. After trying it, there was no problem. It rotated very smoothly. He tied the fishing gear.

"Whether you can make money today or catch a big fish depends on you!"

Zhao Dahai picked up a large hook that was about the width of a finger, fished out a large shrimp from the live cabin, hung it on the shrimp gun, and placed it in the live cabin at his feet. This is a universal bait that can be eaten by any fish. .

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and immediately put down his fishing pole to fish. Before the start of the fishing moratorium, I followed a few speedboats here. I just set the location of the fishing spot and left. I am not particularly familiar with this place. If I want to fish here today, I have to scan the spot to find the structure first.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly and stared at the fish. The water did not rise. Try fishing at a fixed point to see if you can catch fish, but you must first find the structural area. Fish on the bottom of the sea hide in such places.

"right!"

"This should be a trench!"

…

"but!"

"It looks like it should be narrower!"

…

“I wonder if it’s a meter wide!”

…

Zhao Dahai studied the topography of the seabed seen on the fish detector and found a trench with a drop of almost ten meters, but the trench was not wide.

Zhao Dahai was a little hesitant. There must be fish in such a place, and it is not easy to accurately place them in the ditch. The seabed is not calm, and the water flow is very likely to be very fast. The lead drop is too light and cannot reach the bottom or deflects. The lead drop is too heavy. , the signal from the fishing rod becomes very weak, and it is very likely that the fish took the bait or ate the bait without even knowing it.

Do you want to move somewhere else? !

Zhao Dahai looked up at the calm, mirror-like wide sea around him and shook his head. It was too wide here. It was not easy to find a suitable structure in such a place. It took almost an hour to find the trench. , I feel unwilling not to give it a try.

Zhao Dahai decided to give it a try. If he really couldn't catch any fish, he would look for another structure.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while, and replaced the fishing group with a lead weight of only three pounds and a lead weight of six pounds.

Seventy meters!

Eighty meters!

Ninety meters!

Zhao Dahai looked at the thread that was already skewed. He shook his head and did not continue to unwind it. He pushed the switch and started to take up the thread.

The water depth of less than a hundred meters is already unbearable, and the lead pendant may now be almost twenty meters away from his speedboat.

It was impossible to reach the right location, impossible to reach the trench at the bottom of the sea.

Zhao Dahai changed to eight pounds of heavy lead and tried it. This time it was slightly better, but when the water depth reached 100 meters, the line was still offset very much. There was no other way but to take up the line again and change it again. Heavy lead.

"If this one doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do!"

Zhao Dahai picked up a twelve-pound lead pendant and hung it on the figure-eight swivel. This was his heaviest lead pendant. If he couldn't reach the bottom, he could only change to another fishing spot. When he saw that the live shrimp was dying, he changed it. Hang up one shrimp, and throw the replaced shrimp in the refrigerator. Either eat it for lunch today or cook it back to eat. It must not be wasted.

Eighty meters!

Ninety meters!

One hundred meters!

One hundred and ten meters!

One hundred and twenty meters!

Zhao Dahai saw the bent and tight line of the fishing rod, flicked it up, and almost became horizontal. The fishing line immediately became loose and loose, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the lead pendant hit the bottom smoothly.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and pulled the thread, and found that the deflection this time was not particularly severe. The position where the lead hit the bottom of the sea bottom was about three meters away from the tail of his speedboat. This was very good, at least it had reached the bottom, and The deviation is not too far. As long as the speedboat drives forward three to five meters, the lead can be controlled to fall into the trench.

Zhao Dahai just wanted to let go of the thread in his hand and move the speedboat forward. Unexpectedly, the thread immediately bounced out and tightened immediately.

ah?

Is there a fish biting the hook?

Wasn’t it just the end?

Is there fish before you even have time to hit the bottom?

Isn't it outside the trench?

Zhao Dahai had no psychological preparation and did not expect a fish to bite the hook. He reacted two seconds too late before pushing the switch to retract the line.

The tip of the fishing rod placed on the fort immediately bent down and entered the water directly.

The electric winch rotated twice and stopped immediately.

Dry!

Motor protection!

It's over!

what to do?

Zhao Dahai's expression changed. This was a fish that was hooked. It was too big and had too much pulling force. The electric winch could not hold it anymore and it got stuck.

Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
