Chapter 187 Preparations before the typhoon
Ding Xiaoxiang walked into the fish market. There were not many people. It was already very busy at this time. There were fewer fish, shrimps and crabs during the typhoon, and there were few people coming here to buy vegetables. A lot.
Ding Xiaoxiang walked directly to Zhang Li and took a look at the stall next door. It was no longer open. A few days ago, she used her own idea and found another person to talk to the other party and take over the shop temporarily. Don’t decorate, save yourself the trouble, we’ll talk about it in half a month.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at it and saw that there were not many fish left on the fish stall.
“Mom!”
"Here!"
Ding Xiaoxiang gave the five hundred yuan directly to Zhang Li.
“Ah?!”
“Where did you get the five hundred yuan?”
Zhang Li was very strange. The fish, shrimp and crabs sold by Liu Gang were not settled on the same day, Ding Xiaoxiang How to get the money back? And the amount is wrong. The fish, shrimps and crabs sent today are more than just this amount.
Ding Xiaoxiang told Zhang Li what was going on. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell the truth. Liu Gang and his mother were too familiar with each other and could not hide this kind of thing.
“Mom!”
“How can someone catch so many fish?”
“They are all valuable red spots!”
Ding Xiaoxiang talked about the groupers she saw caught by Zhao Dahai and several people in the village.
"Ah?"
"So much?"
Zhang Li felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that Ding Xiaoxiang had collected Zhao Dahai's fish and resold it to Liu Gang for the money she earned. I wanted to say a few words, but when I heard that Zhao Dahai had caught so many groupers, especially red spots, my attention immediately shifted and I was very surprised.
“Is this a lie?”
“Zhao Dahai went out to sea alone the day before yesterday and sold the fish he caught for more than 30,000 yuan. Yesterday he brought several people from the village with him I went to sea and sold the groupers I caught for more than 90,000 yuan. One of them weighed more than 60 pounds.”
As Ding Xiaoxiang spoke, she gestured with her hand to draw the huge blue spot she saw.
Zhang Li looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, who had little stars in her eyes when she spoke, and felt even more uncomfortable. She wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say. She even regretted letting Ding Xiaoxiang go to Liu Gang’s place a few days ago. He sent the fish, but if he didn't let go, he didn't know whether he could really stop it.
“Mom!”
“Those red spots are so valuable!”
……
“It’s really amazing to be able to catch so many fish before the typhoon!”
……
“I’ve never heard of anyone else catching so many fish!”
...
Ding Xiaoxiang became more and more excited as she talked, and did not notice that the worry in Zhang Li's eyes was getting heavier and heavier.
Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle back to the village. When he arrived at the door of his house, he found Zhong Shizhu and others sitting in the yard, waiting for him.
Zhao Dahai walked into the yard and directly asked for the money. The accounts were very easy to calculate. Two fishing boats went out to sea. Each fishing boat was calculated based on the shipping fee of 1,500 yuan. Various losses and losses were added. A thousand yuan together, deducting four thousand yuan, the rest is pure profit, twenty-two thousand nine hundred and forty-six, rounded up, each person can get twenty-three thousand yuan, Liu Gang paid all in cash, Count the money immediately.
“The sea!”
“Every time you take us out to sea to make a lot of money.”
“Didn’t the typhoon come these two days? We can’t go out to sea anyway. If you have nothing to do, the three of us will treat you to a nice meal.”
Zhong Shizhu just discussed with Lei Dayou and Liu Bin that he must treat Zhao Dahai to a good meal. If Zhao Dahai hadn't been with him on this trip to the sea, several people wouldn't be able to catch a single fish.
“Okay!”
Zhao Dahai readily agreed, there is nothing to be pretentious about.
Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayong and Liu Bin decided to have dinner tomorrow night before leaving.
Zhao Dahai closed the door to the courtyard and walked back to the main room. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving a net, and little Naihei, who had almost grown into a big dog, was lying at her feet.
Zhao Dahai pulled up a stool, sat in front of Zhong Cuihua, and briefly said that he had earned more than 50,000 yuan in the past few days.
Zhong Cuihua was very surprised.
“There are a lot of big black sea bream caught in the oyster field. They look inconspicuous, but they are big. They cost 70 yuan a pound or more than 100 pounds. They are really worth a lot of money.”
“In addition, all I have caught in the past three days are valuable groupers.”
“But this is basically a one-time deal.”
"Without a typhoon, there wouldn't be much fish to catch in that place. The key is that Zhong Shizhu and I have caught so many fish this time. It will take at least half a year, and there won't be any fish there."
Zhao Dahai poured a glass. After taking a sip of water, I was able to catch so many groupers. The key is the weather. The other thing is that I am really lucky. My own fishing boat catches more. Other fishing boats do not catch well, but there are one or two hundred fishing boats in The fishing there is very large, and there are no fish on the reef for at least half a year.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua chatted for a while. They have been working hard at sea for the past three days. They slept last night, but they got up early today. It’s just noon now, but they can’t hold on anymore. They haven’t even had lunch yet. I didn't eat and went straight to bed. When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard. The sea breeze blowing over was getting stronger and stronger. His clothes were already making noise, and the trees on the side were shaking very hard.
Zhao Dahai was glad that he did not go fishing today. Even if he went to sea in this weather, he would have to come back halfway.
Zhao Dahai stood on a high place and looked at the sea from a distance. The waves were undulating. He looked at the fishing boats at the pier. He was a little worried. He drove a tricycle and rushed over. He got on the fishing boat and looked at it carefully for a while. There was nothing wrong with the anchor. I pulled it tightly and tied the cable very firmly. I packed up the fishing boat and took all the small ones that could move onto the tricycle. I tied all the big ones with ropes before I felt relieved.
When Zhao Dahai left the dock, three people, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da, strode over. Needless to say, they must have come to see the fishing boats. They are the production tools of people who go out to sea to fish. They cannot Careless, typhoon days are very prone to all kinds of accidents. Zhao Dahai returned home and immediately began to make some preparations before the typhoon. Checked out the house. In particular, you have to check where there will be water leaks. Typhoons are often accompanied by heavy rain and violent storms. You need to pay close attention to the areas you have patched up some time ago. Another thing is that the roof of the house and the things in the yard that are not particularly strong, such as some shelves and the like, all need to be reinforced, and some even need to be removed.
All the fish in the fish pond have been sold, and all the water has been drained and cleaned.
After taking care of the things in the house and yard, I immediately went to the back of the house.
Pick more edible vegetables from the vegetable field. When a typhoon comes, it is very likely that they will all be destroyed and rot in the ground.
The bamboo that was cut down some time ago and laid out to dry came in handy. It was directly used to reinforce the shelves such as beans or cucumbers, so as not to blow them down immediately when the typhoon came.
Like chicken pens, they need to be reinforced to prevent them all from being knocked down when a typhoon comes.
Zhao Dahai took a look and saw that the chickens he had raised were already good in size. They must be fat and big when they wait for the Chinese New Year. The two small roosters had grown into big roosters. When he stared at himself , a majestic look, the hen in the chicken coop didn't know when the little hen had started laying eggs.
The lychee and longan trees have grown almost as tall as their own shoulders. Typhoons cause great damage to trees. Even a century-old tree may fall. Not to mention such a small fruit tree, after thinking about it, I picked it. I removed the leaves and cut the branches short, leaving only a bare main branch. I took a piece of bamboo and inserted it into the ground for about half a meter. I took a rope and tied it tightly. There should be no problem if it really scrapes. If it falls, it can only be replanted.
Zhao Dahai checked again. There was nothing wrong with the vegetable garden and fruit trees. He was a little worried about the chickens in the chicken coop. He found a few chicken coops and placed them nearby. When the wind was too strong, he put them inside and carried them back to the yard. , which is safer. It is not easy to raise such a big one. It would be a loss if one or two are lost.
Zhao Dahai returned to the yard. When he was washing his hands and feet, he remembered to fill a few buckets of water. He also checked the gas lights in the house. This time, the water and power supply would not be affected.
After Zhao Dahai finished all these things, he returned to the main room and was just about to sit down and rest for a while when his grandma Zhong Cuihua said that she needed to prepare a few sandbags.
“Huh?”
“Is it useful?”
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment.
Sandbags are used for waterproofing. My house is relatively high, so no matter how heavy it rains, it should be fine.
“Be prepared.”
“It won’t cost anything anyway!”
“Who knows if it will be useful?”
"If the wind and rain are too strong, the yard may be filled with water!"
Zhong Cuihua thought about it carefully. During a typhoon more than ten years ago, the yard seemed to have been filled with water.
Zhao Dahai immediately took a few big bags, picked up a hoe, and rode a tricycle to the beach beside the pier. He found that many people were filling sandbags, so he immediately packed the sand and tied the bags.
“The sea!”
“The typhoon is coming again? Remember to come out early to pick up fish!”
Zhong Shizhu saw Zhao Dahai and shouted loudly as a joke.
“Ha!”
“I’m not the only one who is thinking about this now.”
“Everyone in the village is staring at the fish, trying to pick it up. It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
Zhao Dahai laughed. Ever since I once picked up a lot of fish on the rocks at the beach, every time there were strong winds and waves, all the people in the village would come out. This time it’s another big typhoon, so there will definitely be fish or even big fish coming up, but the people watching won’t be able to pick up a few.
"Once this typhoon comes, we won't be able to go to sea for seven to eight days or even ten days. Even if the wind goes away in a few days, we won't be able to catch any fish, shrimps and crabs."
Lei Dayou Seeing Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu, they came over immediately.
“There is really not much time to go fishing in a year!”
Zhong Shizhu frowned, but immediately laughed again.
“The sea.”
"We have had a much easier life recently."
"It's all thanks to you."
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai. Recently, he and Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and others made a lot of money. Catching sea bass was Zhao Dahai's news, and catching squid with light was Zhao Dahai's news. Both trips made a lot of money, not to mention the grouper fishing this time. It was Zhao Dahai who led people like him to make a fortune, earning more than 20,000 yuan each. Not to mention this period of time, life has become much easier this year.
Lei Dayou nodded heavily.
Zhao Dahai smiled. You are welcome to do this. You cannot live alone in this world. You must have a morning friend or something. In these few trips to sea, whether it is to catch sea bass or fish for grouper, , it is true that I make money with Zhong Shizhu and a few, but with them I can make more and make it easier.
Night falls.
Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle carrying sandbags back home. He moved the sandbags down and blocked them directly at the entrance of the yard. He washed his hands and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
It made a whining sound on the treetops, which was very sharp.
Zhao Dahai lay on the bed, listening to the wind outside, and fell asleep at some point.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound.
Zhao Dahai woke up with a start and sat up suddenly.
Ugh! The typhoon has just passed. Is it a bit appropriate for me to write such a plot?
Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
