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

Chapter 20 Windy Day! Busy picking up fish! What a joy!



Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up and walked out of the yard. A gust of wind blew by. He looked at the trees in the yard and saw that they were shaking very hard.

The wind is getting stronger.

Zhao Dahai walked to the corner, looked at the blue crabs in the vat, picked up a few and looked at them carefully, and found that there was no problem. They drenched them with seawater and sold them in the town tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen and lit a fire to cook breakfast.

What's going on today?

Zhao Dahai looked at the fire in the stove and wondered what kind of work he would do today.

You can't go out to sea to fish without fishing boats, and you can't go out to sea in this kind of weather even if you have fishing boats.

In the field? !

The fence was finished yesterday.

Weeding or something? !

The ground has just been planted for a few days and there is not much more work to do.

Zhao Dahai thought about it a lot and realized there was nothing to do today.

Could it be said that he can only sleep?

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He had been busy with various things these past few days and was not used to being idle.

Zhong Cuihua opened the kitchen door and walked in. The wind blew the door hard and slammed it shut.

Zhao Dahai was startled. The wind is too strong. If this door is thrown on Zhong Cuihua's body, it will definitely hurt a bit, maybe she will fall, so she immediately walks over to help her on the chair and sits down, telling her to be careful next time.

"Hehehe!"

"The sea."

"How can you be careful about everything?!"

"It's hard to live."

Zhong Cuihua slowly sat down with her hands on her knees.

Zhao Dahai nodded, he couldn't live his life completely cautiously.

Eat thin when you are free and dry when busy. I didn't have much to do today, I just cooked some porridge to fill my stomach.

Zhong Cuihua continued to weave fishing nets after breakfast.

Zhao Dahai accompanied him to talk. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the door to the courtyard was not closed tightly. It opened and closed for a while, and the banging sound was a bit unbearable.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard and wanted to close the door. He looked down at the sea and watched the white-headed waves getting higher and denser from a distance.

Huh? !

How can there be nothing to do?

Zhao Dahai stood at the door of the yard and looked at the reef at the east end of the village. The strong winds of magnitude seven or eight blew the waves and splashed water fiercely, and the white waves were overwhelming. Thinking of something, she immediately turned back to the yard, took two net bags, put on liberation shoes, put on gloves, and told Zhong Cuihua to go out by herself for a while. After a trip, I went out and strode towards the pier in front of the village.

Zhao Dahai walked to the beach in front of the village. The wind and waves were too strong, and the sea rose very high. A wave hits and the small pier disappears, only to reappear when the wave recedes. A dozen or twenty small fishing boats were swaying and rising with the waves.

This weather makes it impossible to go to sea.

There was no one on the pier.

Zhao Dahai looked at the beach. The waves came up and submerged the beach, and when they receded, the beach was exposed. I rolled up my trousers and walked along the highest point of the beach to the reef, watching carefully the waves of sea water that came up and then receded. Windy weather. The waves are very big. The constant turbulence caused the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea to be greatly affected. They could not distinguish between east, west, north and south. Some of them would swim directly to the shore, and they were even more involuntary in the shallow sea. side.

Got it!

Zhao Dahai walked for a while, when a wave came up, he took a few steps back to avoid it, a fish rolled in the sea, ran a few steps, bent down and stretched out his hand to catch it, and caught it in his hand, it was a fast fish, not big, one or two He held it in his hand and struggled a few times.

Zhao Dahai opened the opening of the net bag, threw it in, and continued walking forward. After a few steps, he picked up another fish. It was not a vegetarian fish, but a mud fish.

Zhao Dahai searched for it while walking. When he reached the edge of the reef, the wind became stronger and the waves were higher and faster. The clothes on my body were all wet and dripping with water, but it was very worth it. I was holding seven or eight kilograms of fish in a mesh bag in my hand, and the harvest was quite good.

Zhao Dahai took a rest, slowly climbed up a rock, straightened up, and carefully observed the entire reef area. The strong wind and the big waves slapped the reef, making "boom" and "squeak", the sea water exploded, and the water mist flew up to four or five meters high. When the wind blew, it was everywhere, like light rain. More than half of the entire reef area is submerged in the sea water, and the remaining half disappears when big waves hit, only to reappear when the waves recede. There is only a small piece left that cannot be hit by the waves when they come up. Only the sea water keeps coming up, forming puddles one after another. The reefs have been soaked in sea water for many years, and are either covered with seaweed or oysters. The former is very slippery and the latter is very sharp. If the weather is fine, be careful and there will be no problem. However, the wind and waves are strong at this time, and the waves and waves are constantly coming. The blowing wind has a great influence, and it is very easy to fall. If you fall, you will bleed, the wound will be like a knife scratching, and you may even be swept into the sea and die.

Zhao Dahai walked forward carefully, stepping on each step carefully before stepping on it, and stepping forward with his back foot only after his front foot was firmly planted. Don't bully the mountains, don't bully the water. The reef area with strong winds and waves is extremely dangerous. After walking forward for a while, I stood firm on a rock, widened my eyes, and carefully looked at the stone gaps or puddles formed between the surrounding rocks. There are fish on the beach in strong winds and waves, but there are more fish here. The waves roll up the fish, shrimps and crabs and slap them on the rocks. Needless to say, the small ones and the big ones have to be knocked unconscious. They rush up directly and are not stuck in the cracks of the rocks. Soak in puddles.

Zhao Dahai soon had a harvest. He saw a piece of bright white in a stone crevice a few meters away. He immediately walked over and saw that it was indeed a fish. It was quite big. When he picked it up, he saw that it was a black snapper. This is a common fish on the seaside. It is plentiful and can often be caught. It is relatively small in shallow water, usually only three to five taels, and seven or eight taels are considered large. In the deep sea with a water depth of 100 or dozens of meters, it can grow to more than three or four kilograms. . The fish in my hand weighed one pound or two, and was quite good in size. It was motionless and dead. The scratches on the fish's head showed that it was hit by the wind and waves and hit the rocks.

Stale fish have stiff bodies and dark red gills. They can barely be eaten or used to pickle salted fish. Once the gills turn gray and black, they can no longer be eaten.

Zhao Dahai took the fish and shook it twice. It was soft and elastic. He opened the gills and looked at it. It was as red as blood. It had just died and was very fresh. He threw it into the mesh bag and continued to move forward. After a while, he picked it up. After catching one, passing another, and picking up another, the fish picked up by the waves on the beach will be rolled back into the sea. They cannot survive. The reefs are different. There is a high probability that they will get stuck in the crevices of the rocks or stay in the puddles. In just ten or so years, In a matter of minutes, I picked up seven or eight fish, all of which were quite large, ranging from seven or eight small ones to over a pound.

Zhao Dahai weighed the net bag in his hand. The fish weighed fifteen or six kilograms, which was a bit heavy. It was not safe to carry it while walking on the rocks in strong winds and waves. He found a protruding rock that had not been soaked by the sea water and put it on it. He took it out of his pocket. Another mesh bag and keep going.
