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

Zhao Dahai strode into the yard. The door of the main room was open. He saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua weaving a fishing net and shouted back.

Zhong Cuihua looked up, put down the shuttle in her hand, and walked over.

Zhao Dahai opened the mesh bag and poured the crab and tiger fish inside into the bucket. When he came back, he put some seawater and beach mud in it. It has strong vitality and can be raised in seawater and beach mud for three to five days or even ten days and a half. Can't die.

"Yo!"

"This crab tiger is really big!"

Zhong Cuihua has lived in a fishing village all her life and has never seen a crab and tiger like this many times.

"Hey!"

"Who would have thought that there would be such a big crab tiger on the reef at the east end of the village? It's too late today. Let's go fishing tomorrow."

Zhao Dahai was a little proud. Today's harvest was really good.

Zhong Cuihua shook her head. It was incredible to catch so many. It was impossible to catch more. There wouldn't be many crabs and tigers of this size. Besides, the village was a big place and everyone knew what to do. Maybe now There are already people fishing there.

Zhao Dahai was stunned and then smiled bitterly. When he came back, he passed by the village pier. Zhong Shizhu and a few people saw the crab tiger fish. He even picked up the net bag to see clearly. There might be people on the reef now. In another two hours, there will be at least a dozen or twenty crabs and tiger fish weighing more than half a catty. Who wouldn’t be greedy? If I go around the pier when I come back and no one sees me, I can still fish tomorrow, but I really have no chance now.

Zhao Dahai regretted it, but there was no other way. It was getting late, and grandma Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice. There was half a catty of snails left from the sea last night, cooked them in boiling water, poured some soy sauce, and put them on the table. The crab and tiger fish caught will not be eaten, so keep them and sell them for money.

"grandmother."

"I'll get up around four o'clock tomorrow and go to the town to sell fish."

"correct!"

"Isn't there land behind our house? I'll buy some vegetable clocks and plant them."

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua what he planned while eating.

"OK."

"The land behind the house has not been planted for two or three years, and it is barren and overgrown with grass. Some people wanted to plant it, but I didn't agree."

Zhong Cuihua nodded. She had to rush to the morning market to sell fish, so she had to get up early. There is land behind the house, but it has not been planted in the past two years and the grass has grown barren.

Zhao Dahai was not surprised at all. Something happened to his father and mother, and he was too lazy to eat. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was old, so she could weave some fishing nets in exchange for money to buy enough rice to eat, but she had no energy to farm anymore. It's nothing. Just reopen the business and plant all kinds of vegetables. You can eat them one after another in a month. It's not convenient to buy them in the town and you have to spend money.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The chickens didn't wake up.

It was still early in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up, washed his face, changed his clothes, went out with the fish bucket, and strode towards the town. Without a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle, he could only rely on two legs and walked for a full two hours. We arrived at five o'clock and went directly to the vegetable market. It was still early, so there were not many people buying fish, shrimp and crabs. However, there were quite a few stalls selling fish, shrimps and crabs, and they were busy setting out their fish products.

Zhao Dahai scratched the back of his head, and then he remembered that to sell fish, you need a stall. If you don't have a stall, you can't sell fish. If you set up a stall, you have to guard it. After thinking about it, he decided to sell it to a fishmonger. The price would be lower, but he was saving money. Time saves effort.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry. Crabs and tigers, especially the big ones, were good things. He didn’t have to worry about selling them. He walked from stall to stall and asked about the fish prices. He would go out to sea to fish sooner or later. It was very important to understand the market.

"Hurry up!"

…

"Someone has to buy fish soon!"

…

“Where’s that big mackerel!?”

"There is also a big grouper!"

"Put them all in the most conspicuous place for me!"

…

Zhao Dahai was walking when he heard a sound coming from ahead and looked up. There was a fish stall not far away, with a sign hanging on the side that read "Sister Li's Fish Stall". A woman in her forties was shouting while arranging the fish on the stall with her hands and feet. In the blink of an eye, a fish stall Another one, neatly. In fishing villages, it is very common for the husband to go fishing or collect fish and the wife to sell the fish. Women in fishing villages can hold half of the sky, which shows that they are good at it.

"Ashanti!"

"I remember there was a box of sand pointed fish. Where is it?"

Just as Zhao Dahai was about to walk over, the middle-aged woman turned back and called out to the store.

"I remember the one who was in the corner!"

"Isn't it right here?"

…

"Why!"

"Crazy busy!"

"You can't even see it like this!?"

…

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment when he looked at a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with a pretty face who had a little baby fat walking out of the store.

Why does it look familiar?

Where have you seen it?

Zhao Dahai frowned and tried to remember.

Ding Xiaoxiang?

Zhao Dahai's eyes widened suddenly and he patted his head hard.

Next door to Langtou Village is a village called Dashi Village. Not big. There were less than twenty households in total, and the land was not even three feet flat, and one person could not get a single share of the land. Ding Xiaoxiang is from this village. There is only one primary school in more than a dozen nearby villages, and students all study in one place. Ding Xiaoxiang was good-looking and stood out from childhood. The children in the fishing village, especially the boys, were very wild and they often formed groups to visit her. However, what I really remember about Ding Xiaoxiang was that she got married at the age of nineteen and stayed in the village all her life while her husband went to sea. When fishing, you do some work in the fields at home, and mend fishing nets in your free time. This is no different from the life of ordinary fishing villagers. It is not surprising to have three boys and two girls. In a place like a remote fishing village, there are always many boys and girls. But what is astonishing is that Ding Xiaoxiang manages her family well and raises her children well. All five of her children are successful, and they are not as simple as going to college or something. They are a senior provincial official, two scientific academicians, and two billionaires.

A living legend.

It’s so outrageous!

Zhao Dahai sighed very much. At this time, Ding Xiaoxiang was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was living in the town market helping her family sell fish. Who could have imagined that she would be so defiant and become a living legend.

or?

Sell ​​fish to legend?

Take advantage of this moment to see what it looks like up close.

Zhao Dahai looked at the crab and tiger fish in his hand, walked over, put down the bucket in his hand, and took out the mesh bag.

"Crab goby?"

"So big?"

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at it and couldn't help blurting out.

"Do you accept this?"

"what price?"

Zhao Dahai nodded.

Zhang Li glared at her daughter Ding Xiaoxiang, she was a fish collector, so she obviously said the fish was good, so wouldn't she have to pay a high price?

Ding Xiaoxiang stuck out her tongue, closed her mouth and didn't speak.

"receive!"

"This head is rare!"

"However, this is a mouthful of fish, and I have to take a risk."

"Currency is ten yuan a catty."

Zhang Li picked at the crab and tiger fish in the net bag for a long time and looked at them carefully. Every one of them was alive and kicking. They were all over half a catty in size, and the two largest ones were over one catty.

Zhao Dahai was happy when he heard this. Fishing mouth means that the fish is caught, and the caught fish is injured. Only when the crab and tiger fish are alive can they be sold at a good price. If no one buys it for a long time, it will definitely die. This is called taking a risk. However, this risk Not big. One is that the crab and tiger fish are very durable. If the gills and other parts of the fish are not injured when fishing, or the hook may swallow the fish and tear the intestines, it will not die in three to five days, or even ten days and a half. I know the fish I catch myself, and none of them are in such a situation. The other one, which is half a catty up, is very popular and can be sold in a short time. There is definitely a risk but it is very small.

Ten yuan a pound? People in the village said yesterday that the three or two big ones have to pay five yuan a catty. This is obviously fooling around, bullying himself that Leng Touqing doesn't know the market.

Without further ado, Zhao Dahai picked up the net bag, turned around and left. What about Ding Xiaoxiang's future legend? It's not that my daughter-in-law's fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, and it's even more impossible to lick the dog because she loses face. This is a fish that I have worked so hard to catch, and I hope to make money.
