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

"One hundred yuan a pound!"

…

"One hundred and five pounds!"

…

"One hundred and ten dollars a pound!"

…

"One hundred and eleven dollars a pound!"

…

Zhao Dahai stood on the pier, listening to the fishmongers scrambling to bargain with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

Small fish, shrimps and crabs are really not very valuable, but really good things, such as orchid crabs or other large fish, everyone likes them very much and rush to get them.

"What the hell!"

"Zhong Shizhu and the others are really lucky!"

"We all went out to sea to fish, why did some of them go out to sea to catch orchid crabs?"

…

"Where is the bad luck?"

"Zhao Dahai told them that there were no fish in the sea, so they went out to catch orchid crabs!"

"This is not their thing!"

…

"Why!"

"Zhao Dahai is really too powerful, I really let him say it!"

…

"Those of us who have been fishing for 20 or 30 years are not as good as Zhao Dahai, a young man in his early 20s!"

"It's really embarrassing!"

…

Zhao Dahai did not get on the fishing boat of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. The fishmongers were crowded. After waiting for a while, several other fishing boats returned to the dock. The fish they caught were no different from the fishing boats that had returned to the dock before. There were indeed some. Fish, but there are not many fish, they are all small and not very valuable.

"Go home quickly!"

…

"Take a fishing net and go out to sea to catch orchid crabs!"

…

"Let's go!"

"Don't stay here anymore!"

…

The people on the surrounding fishing boats all hurried onto the pier, and immediately left to rush home.

You've stayed up all night, do you need to go back to bed and rest for a while? ?

People who don’t make money don’t have the right to sleep and rest.

No one could bear it after a hard night without making any money and even having to pay for gas. Seeing Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou catching a large number of orchid crabs made it even more impossible to go back to sleep.

Go to sea!

Go to sea immediately!

Go out to sea and catch orchid crabs before others do.

Zhao Dahai looked at how high the sun was rising and how hot it was getting on the pier. He rode a tricycle home and walked into the yard. He looked around and saw that his grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving a fishing net in the main room. He pulled up a stool and sat down to chat with her for a while. .

Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard and took a walk in the vegetable garden behind the house. After opening the vegetable garden, he could not finish all the vegetables at home. The longan and lychee grew very well, and the banana he planted for his grandma Zhong Cuihua was taller than himself. I don’t know if it will bear fruit next year, but it will definitely grow the year after next.

Zhao Dahai plucked some old vegetables from the vegetable patch and threw them into the chicken pen. The little hens were carrying chicks that had grown to be as big as a small football.

"Hey Hey!"

"If this continues, this will have to be expanded a bit!"

Zhao Dahai looked at dozens of large and small hens, roosters and chicks, and it seemed a little cramped.

You have to sell some, right?

Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while. The chicken pen was already big enough. If he kept it, it wouldn't be necessary. It would be too much.

Zhao Dahai didn't plan to talk about this. Grandma Zhong Cuihua raised all these chickens. If she wants to sell them, buy them. If she wants to raise more, she can raise more. If she wants to keep them for her own consumption, she can keep them. Eat at home.

Expanding the chicken coop is just a matter of getting some bamboo or something. When not going to sea, it can be done in half a day and doesn't take much effort.

"The sea!"

Zhao Dahai heard someone calling him, and when he walked home, he saw that Zhong Shizhu was holding a mesh bag containing orchid crabs.

"The sea!"

"Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and I left some orchid crabs."

"Bring it here for you and Auntie to try."

Zhong Shizhu said as he picked up the mesh bag in his hand.

"Yo!"

"What are you doing?"

"You're welcome!"

"Who in our fishing village has never eaten orchid crab?"

“It’s only practical to sell it for money!”

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.

"ha!"

"What's so polite about this?"

"I'll go back to have a meal, take a shower, and then go to sea again right away!"

Zhong Shizhu put down the mesh bag he was carrying, turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhao Dahai was no longer polite, but from his own point of view, these orchid crabs were not very necessary, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were able to catch so many orchid crabs this time and made a lot of money. Thanks to A word of caution from myself, I brought orchid crabs to express my gratitude, but I can't get some money.

Zhao Dahai walked into the yard carrying a mesh bag containing orchid crabs, took a large iron basin, and poured them all out. There were not too many, maybe seventeen or eight, but they were all seven or eight taels or even more than a pound each. The big orchid crab weighs fifteen or six pounds.

"Where did the orchid crab come from?"

Zhong Cuihua walked out and saw big orchid crabs one after another in the iron basin.

Zhao Dahai said that this was sent by Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and then explained the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"grandmother!"

"The size of this orchid crab is really good. We ate it for lunch while it's still fresh!"

"I'll take some to Second Grandpa Zhao Shi, we can't eat so much!"

Zhao Dahai was holding a bag while talking, picked the biggest one and took six, and went out to Zhao Shi's house with them.

"Yo!"

"Such a big orchid crab!"

"You weren't the one who went out to sea to catch it, were you?"

Huang Jintao looked at the orchid crab, and was a little surprised. Zhao Dahai was only fishing in the sea, and he had never heard of fishing in the sea. He went fishing with Zhao Shi yesterday.

"Did Zhong Shizhu and the others go back to the pier? Did they really catch the crab?"

Zhao Shi heard the sound in the room, and came out while smoking his hookah. When he saw the orchid crab, he immediately thought of Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu. They said that there were no fish in the sea, and there might be shrimps and crabs.

Zhao Dahai said that when the Zhong Shizhu fishing boat came back, he caught a lot of orchid crabs, took fifteen to six catties to his home, sent some over here to try something new, chatted a few words, and went home.

"What's going on?"

"Zhong Shizhu and the others went out to sea to catch crabs. What does this have to do with Zhao Dahai?"

Huang Jintao is a bit strange. An orchid crab with a size of fifteen or six catties costs two thousand yuan less, which is not a small sum.

Zhao Shi told the whole story.

"ah?"

"Is the sea so powerful!?"

Golden Peach was startled.

"Dahai's brain is really good. So many people who go fishing in the sea have never thought of this."

Zhao Shi nodded.

Who said fishing overseas is not profitable? It's just that those who don't think about it can't make money.

Zhao Dahai is not like other people, thinking about where there are fish and the fish in the sea all day long. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou listened to Zhao Dahai's words and made a lot of money.

"ah?"

"Why doesn't the sea go out to catch crabs by itself?"

"This kid knows there are crabs in the sea, but he doesn't catch them and tell others."

"How can you do such a thing? Even if you tell Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da that there are several of them, you must go to sea, right? You must get involved, right?"

Golden Peach was a little anxious. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou make money, not Zhao Dahai.

"Hehehe!"

"Why are you in a hurry? Why do you have to catch crabs? It is true that you can make money and you can make a lot of money, but can it compare to Zhao Dahai who went fishing by himself?"

Zhao Shi smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Dahai's fishing ability is really no joke. Yesterday he went out to sea by himself. There are many speedboats around, but few can actually catch fish.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat, just took a stroll around, and he and himself caught two horse friends fish, not to mention his own one, when he came back, he weighed twenty-nine catties and one tael, the one Zhao Dahai caught himself They all weighed eight pounds or seven taels, plus some other sea bass, and they made a little over ten thousand.

The orchid crabs that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou caught did make money, but they took a lot of time. If they went fishing during these hours, they would earn more money. Zhao Dahai had a clear account of this.

"Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou caught yellow flower crabs, and when they got back to the pier, the news spread. Afterwards, an unknown number of fishing boats all swarmed up, and all of them caught orchid crabs."

"This is a one-and-done deal!"

"Fishing in the sea is good, and fishing is always better. You have to specialize in any line of work, so that you can do it well. Dahai understands it in his heart!"

Zhao Shi took a sip of water pipe.

"Yo!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Why don't you just say it's reasonable?!"

"What to do with these orchid crabs?"

Golden Tao pointed to the orchid crab contained in the bag.

"What else can we do? Does this need to be said?"

"Cook it and eat it!"

"I have to drink two ounces of wine at noon!"

Zhao Shi decided to eat it for lunch. The big orchid crab was very delicious, especially the one that had just landed.

When Zhao Dahai came home, it was almost twelve o'clock in the noon. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already put rice and cooked the rice. She took a basket and put the remaining orchid crabs in it. After a brief rinse with the faucet, the big iron pot was cleaned and boiled. Dry, add a little oil, and when the smoke is green, the orchid crabs are placed upside down one by one in the pot, the lid is closed, and the fire is fierce. In less than two minutes, the unique orchid crab The fresh and sweet smell suddenly filled the entire kitchen.

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Fresh orchid crabs, especially those weighing seven to eight or even one pound, don’t taste very good.

Zhao Dahai waited for another two or three minutes. When he opened the lid, a burst of steam rushed up, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

There are many ways to prepare orchid crab, the most common one is steaming, and the other one is stir-frying.

What Zhao Dahai did today is not a pure steamer. There is oil in it, but no water. The temperature of the oil is very high, and the crab itself has a certain amount of water. After cooking in this way, it has the fragrance of oil and the freshness of orchid crab itself. sweet.

Zhao Dahai took a clean basket, took it out one by one regardless of the heat, and walked directly into the main room with the basket.

"grandmother!"

"Come!"

"Hurry! Hurry!"

The basket of orchid crabs that Zhao Dahai held in his hand was placed directly on the ground beside Zhong Cuihua's feet, picked up a steaming orchid crab, opened the shell, and handed it to grandma Zhong Cuihua.

"Yo!"

"So fat?"

Zhong Cuihua took it and saw that the freshly cooked orchid crab was very fat, already a little tall, and very full of meat.

"ha!"

“The orchid crabs this season are quite good!”

"It tastes great!"

Zhao Dahai couldn't wait to pick up another orchid crab. There was a lump of white crab oil on the outside of the shell. He immediately put it in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and then peeled the shell to eat the meat.

"tasty!"

"too delicious!"

Zhao Dahai kept nodding while eating. The taste of fresh orchid crab is really amazing.

"Why!"

"Can an orchid crab cost a hundred yuan not be delicious?"

Zhong Cuihua looked at the orchid crab in her hand and felt a little reluctant to part with it.

"ha!"

"It's already cooked. What else do you think about it? No one wants it now!"

“It’s not like we eat like this every time!”

Zhao Dahai smiled. Grandma Zhong Cuihua has been diligent and thrifty all her life. Now I am making money and a lot of it, but it is difficult to change the habits that are engraved in my bones.

"OK!"

"You have a point!"

"Eat it!"

Zhong Cuihua looked at the cooked orchid crabs in the basket. She really couldn't sell them now and could only eat them.

Zhao Dahai ate three orchid crabs in a row. They were really delicious. He went to the kitchen to fill two bowls of rice, stir-fried a vegetable, and started to eat lunch seriously.

3pm.

The sea is wide open, the sun above our heads is very strong, and the blue water is as transparent as glass.

Zhong Shizhu stood in the cabin and looked around.

"Why!"

"Why are there so many fishing boats?"

Zhong Shizhu sighed, returned to the pier in the morning, sold the orchid crabs, ate something casually, didn't bother to take a bath, and immediately continued to go to sea, and rushed to the place where the orchid crabs were caught yesterday, good guy, all of them There are fishing boats one after another, all setting nets to catch orchid crabs.

Zhong Shizhu had known that this would definitely happen, but seeing so many fishing boats crowded here gave him a headache.

"ha!"

"Zhongshizhu!"

"You, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin have already made a lot of money. Do you think you are the only one who will catch crabs here next?"

Zhong Shizhu turned around and saw a familiar man from the next village smoking a cigarette and talking loudly to him.

"ha!"

"That's right."

Zhong Shizhu laughed. He definitely hoped that no one else would come here to catch crabs, only himself, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, but this was impossible. Anyone who goes fishing at sea knows where to catch orchid crabs in this nearby area. There must be a lot of people here.

"At first glance?"

"Will the net be released?"

Lei Dayou looked at the fishing boats around him, and then at the buoys of fishing nets put down by others floating on the sea.

"forget it!"

“There are so many crab nets here!”

"Where can I find a place to put it down? Even if I really find a place to put it down abruptly, how many orchid crabs can I catch? It's only twenty or thirty catties if it's exhausted."

Liu Bin shook his head.

"ha!"

"Liu Bin."

"When did you have such high demands? Twenty or thirty pounds of orchid crabs aren't enough for you to make money!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at Liu Bin.

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment. Twenty or thirty kilograms of orchid crabs, especially the ones he and Zhong Shizhu Lei Dayou caught yesterday, can be sold for at least three hundred yuan. The fishing boats I own are not big, and they won’t go very far. The harvest is pretty good, and I can make one or two hundred yuan after the cost.

"Who told us we caught so many orchid crabs last night!?"

"More than five hundred pounds!"

"Together, it's more than 1,600 kilograms. On average, everyone caught more than 500 kilograms!"

"How can I look at these twenty or thirty kilograms now?"

Lei Dayou smiled, not to mention Liu Bin, he didn't want to release the fishing net.

"ha!"

"All right!"

"Then just don't let it go!"

Zhong Shizhu thought for a while and nodded. There are too many fishing nets here. If you put them down, you won't be able to catch many orchid crabs. Secondly, they will easily get entangled with other fishermen's nets.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da had a discussion, and put the net in another place, and if it could be caught, it would be caught, and if it couldn't be caught, it would be pulled down.

Zhao Dahai woke up and looked at the time. It was already four o'clock. He remembered the horsetail fish and a few sea bass that he and his second grandfather Zhao Shi had caught yesterday. From tomorrow onwards, he would continue to go out to sea. He just had time now and there were not many fish. , packed up, and rode a tricycle to the town and went directly to Liu Gang's restaurant.

Liu Gang was preparing dinner in the restaurant, when he saw Zhao Dahai through the glass, he walked out quickly.

"Yo!"

"This horse friend fish is really big!"

Liu Bin saw two horse fish in the refrigerator, one was small, but the big one was really big.

Zhao Dahai said that he went out to sea for a walk yesterday. He didn't think about fishing. He just walked around with Zhao Shi and tried a few poles. He only caught these few fish. He will go to sea tomorrow and has time to deliver them here today.

"This big one was caught by my second grandfather Zhao Shi. It's amazing that a seventy-year-old man can catch such a fish."

Zhao Dahai patted the giant horsetail fish in the refrigerator.

"Yo!"

"This is really incredible. I heard that this fish is very strong!"

Liu Gang was taken aback, this is really incredible, not to mention catching such a fish, it is not easy to pick up this fish by himself.

"The big one costs 300 yuan a catty. The small one costs 180 yuan a catty."

"Sea bass costs thirty yuan a pound."

Liu Gang opened the price.

Zhao Dahai nodded, the price is not bad, especially the price of Ma Youyu is pretty good, sea bass is really worthless now.

"The big one is twenty-nine pounds and one tael, eight thousand seven hundred and thirty yuan, the small one is eight pounds and seven taels, one thousand five hundred and sixty-six yuan, and the sea bass is nineteen pounds and eight taels, five hundred and ninety-six yuan. 10,892 yuan in total."

After Liu Gang had done the calculations, the accounts were settled, and the money was taken and handed to Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang talked for a while, installed a phone and asked for a number, so that they can be contacted conveniently when there is something to do next time.

Liu Gang was very happy. In this way, he could call from time to time to ask Zhao Dahai if he had caught any good goods, and if so, he would rush over there immediately.

"Boss Liu."

"The fishing moratorium is over. Has the price of fish dropped?"

Zhao Dahai direct Liu Gang, this matter is very important.

Liu Gang nodded. The common fish have all declined to varying degrees, and the high-grade fish, especially the grouper, have not declined or even increased.

Zhao Dahai frowned. This is not a good thing, but there is no way. The market is like this. After chatting for a few words, he left the restaurant and bought some things in the town. When he returned to Lingzi, he did not go home immediately. When he arrived at Zhao Shi s home.

"snort!"

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Shi looked at the money Zhao Dahai took out, and his face darkened.

"Second Grandpa."

"Let's not talk about the rules of going to sea!"

"I know you don't want the money, and it's because you take good care of me, a junior."

"I'll go and get the money for the groupers I caught when I went out to sea with you last time."

"But you have to accept the money for this trip."

"I didn't make money before, so I accepted it with the cheek. Now I make money and make so much money. It's a bit difficult for me to hold money like this."

"Second Grandpa."

"This is the fish we caught and the money we made when we went out to sea together."

"Divide a share, what's wrong with having fun?"

"We will go out to sea together when we are free some other day, catch more fish, and make more money."

Zhao Dahai knew that Zhao Shi didn't want to take money, but he had to keep the money for this trip.

"OK OK!"

"What are you two so polite about?"

"The child Hai Hai is right. If you earn money, you can share it. Everyone is happy."

Seeing that Zhao Shi still wanted to refuse, Huang Jintao immediately spoke up. We are all a family, so it is not a good thing if you have to forcefully refuse.

"Second Grandma."

"You're still sensible!"

"ha!"

"I bought mung bean cake for you in the town. It's just out of the oven. It's absolutely delicious."

Zhao Dahai opened the bag containing the mung bean cake, took out a piece, broke it open and handed it to Huang Jintao.

"Why!"

"That's what I like to eat."

Huang Jintao was very happy. As he got older and had more money and less money, he had already given up on it. Zhao Dahai was able to remember what he liked to eat, so he was very happy to buy some.

Zhao Dahai chatted with Huang Jintao for a while, and after seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he stood up and left.

"snort!"

"Why did you take Dahai's money just now? What do we need this money for?"

Zhao Shi watched Zhao Dahai leave, and his face suddenly pulled down.

"Why!"

"Why are you so stubborn, old man? I know you are thinking that it is not easy for Zhao Dahai to make money, and you want him to make more money."

"However, you have to think about it, Zhao Dahai is really making money now, this little money is really not important to him."

"If he insists on not saying anything about the money he earned from catching fish, and if he doesn't send it over at all, then wouldn't he have to take advantage of the elders!"

Huang Jintao knew what Zhao Shi was thinking.

"Yo!"

"Then is it possible to go out to sea with him and take a quick trip, if you don't catch fish, you can't make money, and I have to pay for gas?"

"Can Zhao Dahai want this money? He doesn't want this money. Why should I ask for a share of the money if he is fishing?"

Zhao Shi's neck became stiff.

"Children Haihai definitely doesn't want your money, but he doesn't want your money because he respects you."

"Didn't you just say that? If Dahai didn't make money at ordinary times and it was more difficult, it would be reasonable not to divide your money, but now he is making money and he is making a lot of money."

"If this fish doesn't divide your money, he will definitely have trouble in his heart."

Golden Tao shook her head.

Zhao Shi stared, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, the words made sense, so he just bowed his head, didn't say anything, and smoked.

Huang Jintao knew that Zhao Shi had listened to what he said, and put the mung bean cake in his hand to his mouth and began to eat it happily.

Zhao Dahai returned home and told his grandma Zhong Cuihua that he had given the money to his second grandfather Zhao Shi.

Zhong Cuihua thought for a while and nodded. This matter should be handled this way. Today is different from the past. Zhao Dahai is really making a lot of money now. Naturally, the handling of things is different from the last time. Human relations must be handled well at all times. They cannot be Don't care about your loved ones.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Langtou Village Pier.

The fishing moratorium is over, and the wharf has resumed its usual bustling activities, with fishing boats coming back one after another.

Zhao Dahai got on the speedboat, untied the cable, rested for a few days, and started running out to sea today. The sun did not rise on the sea, and the sea blew over it, making it very cool.

Zhao Dahai's speedboat went faster and faster, heading straight for the fishing spot.

Please give me monthly votes and recommend votes! Thanks!
