Chapter 144 Can’t stay idle! A visit to Huangjiatangkou
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da returned to the village and found out that they would have dinner together tonight. Thinking about it, this is indeed the way it should be. This time, everyone goes out to sea to make a lot of money and have a meal together. To celebrate, there were two tables set up in the yard, one for adults, and one for children, such as Zhong Cuihua and Ma Hongyu. After a whole day at sea, we returned to the dock and immediately went to the town to sell fish. We couldn't even carry the little food we had for lunch. He couldn't stop, and when he sat down, he didn't even have time to talk. He ate meat and vegetables. In less than twenty minutes, he was full.
“The sea!”
“No need to go to sea tomorrow!”
“The place where we fished today was full of fishing boats. Have a good sleep and rest. ”
Zhong Shizhu took a sip of his wine. There was a lot of movement when people like him were fishing back to the dock. Fishing people from his own village and other surrounding villages must have swarmed them.
"Tomorrow?"
"Now the place is full of fishing boats, lining up to wait for the water."
Lei Dayou stuffed himself with a piece of pork belly In his mouth, he chewed hard, and everything was filled with oil and fragrance.
"There will be a lot of fishing boats in that place soon. Anyway, we have already made money, there is no need to join in the fun."
Liu Bin laughed. This time he went to sea, and he and the others made a lot of money. They didn't have to go to sea in the next few months.
Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou both nodded, they really made a lot of money today.
It is quiet at night.
Zhao Dahai opened the door and walked into the yard. He had just sent Zhao Shi and Huang Huangtao back when he saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks after eating. He immediately helped. It didn’t take the two of them long to clean up everything. The remaining Pack up leftovers and raise chickens that are getting bigger and bigger, just enough to eat without wasting.
Zhao Dahai took two cups and made two cups of tea. He placed one cup in front of his grandma and took a few sips from one cup. He felt very comfortable.
Zhao Dahai went to bed early. He was really tired after a day at sea. When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning the next day. The sun shone in through the window, which was very bright.
Zhao Dahai got up and sat for a while after breakfast. He was a little idle and couldn't sit still. He went to the dock and boarded his fishing boat. He cleaned up and cleaned every corner of the fishing boat with sea water.
Zhao Dahai didn’t pay attention at first. After washing the fishing boats, he discovered that there were very few fishing boats docked at the pier. This was abnormal. Most of the fishing boats at the pier were fishing nets in nearby shallow waters. Generally, They go out to sea in the early morning and return to the pier early in the morning to sell fish, shrimp and crabs. The fishing boats are parked at the pier throughout the day. Now there are only seven or eight boats, which is far less than the normal number.
Is it true that everyone is catching sea bass? Hasn’t the tide passed long ago?
Even if you really catch sea bass, you have to get it back, right?
Zhao Dahai remembered what Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin said last night that there would be a lot of fishing boats at the place where they caught sea bass today. There were not many fishing boats here at the pier. Maybe they were all crowded in that place and there was nothing to do. He drove the fishing boat and left the pier to have a look. See what's going on.
Zhao Dahai rushed to the place where he was fishing for sea bass. From a distance, he saw one fishing boat after another, all crowded together in one place. At a glance, there were forty or fifty boats.
Zhao Dahai was a little stunned at first and then sighed.
Yesterday, I and Zhong Shizhu went out to sea to catch sea bass, and everyone got 36,522 yuan.
Is it too much?
Definitely a lot!
How can one say that a person earns more than 30,000 yuan in one day?
Fishing is like this. Once you encounter a big school of fish, especially if you catch sea bass before everyone else, and the price is very good, you can make a lot of money at once. This is not something that happens often. If you happen to do it once a year or even two or three years, you are extremely lucky. The vast majority of people who fish can barely feed their families.
Why are these fishing boats crowded here? Everyone is waiting for the tide to set out fishing nets to catch sea bass. However, what if there are so many fishing boats here when the tide comes? So what if there are fish in the sea? How many can one fishing boat catch?
Don’t these fishing boats understand this?
How could you not understand!
I am waiting here just to bet on catching the most fish with the fishing net I put in the sea, or to wait until others leave and only myself is left.
Zhao Dahai thought at first that this place might not be crowded with many fishing boats and that fishing might be possible. But now he had to give up. There are so many people waiting during the day when there is no tide. It is conceivable that once in the early morning What will happen when the tide comes? This place can't be messed with. It will be very busy for at least the next half month.
Zhao Dahai didn’t stay long, and left in the fishing boat. He returned to the dock, parked the fishing boat, and took a look at the mangroves to the west. He remembered that he had long wanted to visit the Huang Family Farm. Recently, he has been I'm busy, I almost forgot. I have a day off today and have no plans to go to sea. I have plenty of time in the afternoon, so I might as well go and have a look.
Zhao Dahai went home, finished lunch, put on long clothes and trousers, put on water shoes, carried a bamboo basket on his back, brought water and a hatchet, thought for a while, put two mesh bags inside, and told Grandma Zhong Cuihua went out and strode directly towards the mangrove forest next to the pier.
Relying on his childhood memories, Zhao Dahai took a lot of effort to find the right place. It was already overgrown with weeds and various vines and trees. He really wanted to go in and take a look. It took two or three hours to open the road with a hatchet. I was half exhausted and could only clear a path less than 100 meters.
Forget it!
Zhao Dahai wiped his sweat. This place has been abandoned for many years. It is overgrown with weeds, vines and small trees. It is difficult to walk. It is of no benefit and does not make money. It is just to satisfy his curiosity. There is really no need to do this. .
Zhao Dahai took a rest and just turned around and walked back a few steps when he vaguely heard the sound of running water.
Where did the water come from?
Zhao Dahai looked around, and after a while he realized that the sound was coming from directly in front of where he had just opened the road. The distance was not far, it seemed to be only about ten meters. He hesitated, and continued to open the road with his knife. After walking for more than half an hour, I walked to a canal. This must have been built by the Huang family when they dug the entrance of the pond, and was used for drainage and pumping water.
Zhao Dahai found that the water channel was not covered with weeds and small trees, and there were obvious traces of water flow. After thinking about it, it must have been washed away by the continuous heavy rain some time ago, otherwise it must be full of weeds and weeds. Piles of dead branches and leaves.
Zhao Dahai took a closer look. The entire canal was made of large stones and cement. It was very strong. However, it was useless no matter how strong it was. It could not withstand the wind, sun and the ruthless years. , has long been dilapidated and collapsed, forming holes one after another.
Zhao Dahai remembered that his second grandfather, Zhao Shi, had said that the Huang family dug these pond entrances to raise blue crabs and ran away. The blue crabs in the pond must not have been caught cleanly. These canals are connected at one end. The other end of the pond must be connected to the sea, so that water can be pumped and drained easily. After so many years, it is normal for blue crabs, crabs, and tigers to grow there.
Normally, this place would be overgrown with weeds, vines, small trees, etc. It would be too laborious to get in. However, the water from the continuous heavy rains in the past few days had flushed the ditches, which was very convenient.
Zhao Dahai saw that the water in the canal was not deep, and the shallow part was only twenty centimeters. He was wearing long water shoes. They were originally used to prevent snakes and insects. They came in handy at this time, so he waded directly into the water. , I looked for a few holes and took a look, and I was 100% sure that there were green crabs and tiger crabs. There were many large and small holes on both sides. The more I looked at them, the happier I became. It was really good.
“Huh?”
“This place is a mangrove!? The exit is in the mangrove?”
Zhao Dahai walked down the canal and found the end of the canal It leads straight into the mangroves, which is not surprising when you think about it. It is close to the mangroves, and it is quite normal for the drainage outlet or water intake to be hidden in the forest.
Zhao Dahai saw that the mangroves were filled with water and he couldn't walk out. He turned around and walked back. He went home to make some preparations and came immediately to catch green crabs and fish for tiger crabs. Shovels and hoeing were not possible in this place. There were collapsed cement and stone holes. You have to think of other ways. If you dig hard, you will be exhausted and you won't be able to catch a few.
