Chapter 188 Zhao Dahai’s new way of fishing
“Boom!”
……
“Crack!”
……
Thunder and lightning alternated constantly.
Zhao Dahai sat up, got dressed, and checked the windows of his room, his own room and his grandma Zhong Cuihua’s room. Seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, making the windows rattle, he tied them with ropes Okay, the wind will definitely get stronger in a while. If it is not tied up, it will be swept away and completely shattered.
Zhao Dahai walked out of the courtyard. The wind covered his head and face, and he almost couldn't open his eyes. Lightning flashed from time to time in the sky, especially in the distance on the horizon. There were huge lightning bolts one after another. Like a silver snake, the sky is about to be torn apart. When lightning appears, the whole world is like daylight. The sea surface is very clear. The waves are huge. When the waves hit the reef area on the east, the splash is seven or eight meters, or even more than ten meters. The waves of rice rumbled very loudly.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. This was just a prelude to the typhoon. When it actually arrived, he didn’t know what the scene would be like. There was a big typhoon when he was young, but he no longer had much of an impression. .
Zhao Dahai went back to the house and told Zhong Cuihua that he would go to the pier to take a look. It was too windy and he did not dare to ride a tricycle. When he walked to the pier, he saw Zhong Shizhu and several people, including other people in the village, there.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"The wind is too strong! Is the fishing boat okay?!"
Zhao Dahai looked at the undulating fishing boats on the sea and was a little worried.
"No problem!"
"A few hours ago, Lei Dayou and I came to inspect the fishing boats of several of us. There is no problem."
Zhong Shizhu held a flashlight in his hand and carefully illuminated the fishing boat of himself and Zhao Dahai several times. It looked more dangerous, but with many years of experience, there was no problem.
Zhao Dahai realized that he was really inexperienced. He was busy with things at home last night and did not come to check the fishing boat again.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu stayed on the pier for almost an hour before going home. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was a bit dangerous to stay on the pier.
Zhao Dahai returned home, thought for a moment, and walked to the chicken coop at the back of the house. He caught all the chickens in the coop, carried them back to the yard, and placed them under the eaves.
Zhao Dahai returned to his room. As soon as he lay down, there was another thunder, followed by crazy heavy rain, which hit the roof of the house and made the windows crackle.
It’s really going to rain, and no one can stop her from getting married.
Zhao Dahai fell asleep for a while, woke up at six in the morning, opened the door of the main room and saw that it was raining heavily outside, and there was some water accumulation in the yard. He immediately put on his raincoat and took a I picked up the hoe and walked to the back of the house in the strong wind. I cleaned the gutters and looked at the water flowing out. This was due to my lack of experience and I didn't prepare in advance yesterday. Fortunately, I got up early in the morning and got up late. If so, fish can be raised in the yard.
Zhao Dahai finished cleaning the drainage ditch and looked at the vegetable garden. The shelves that were reinforced yesterday were of no use. The wind was too strong and they were all swept down. The vegetables in the field were badly damaged. The typhoon did not land until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, the wind was stronger and the rain was heavier. The vegetables in the vegetable garden could not be saved, so we had to wait for the typhoon to pass, clean them up, and plant them again. Fortunately, I caught chickens in the chicken coop and put them in the yard in the early morning. There was no problem with the fruit trees.
Zhao Dahai checked again and returned to the yard. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already gotten up and was sitting in the main room.
“Grandma.”
"The vegetable garden can't be saved."
"A piece of the chicken pen fell down. The chickens have been caught long ago, so they are fine."
Zhao Dahai took off his raincoat. It was windy and rainy, and half of his body was covered with blood. Already soaked, I immediately changed my clothes.
"The vegetable garden will definitely not be saved. Just plant it when the weather gets better."
Zhong Cuihua is a little heartbroken but there is nothing she can do.
Zhao Dahai cooked white porridge and fried some salted fish. After breakfast, he sat for a while and continued to sleep. He couldn't go out during the typhoon and had nothing to do.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The whole sky was dark.
The day is like night, and you can’t see your fingers.
Zhao Dahai and his grandma Zhong Cuihua were having lunch in the main room. Outside the room, the wind was stronger and they didn't dare to open the door. If it was opened, the wind would blow in and everything would be messed up. The power went out.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. Power outages are common in typhoon days. He thought it would not happen this time, so he stopped anyway. He took out the gas lanterns he had prepared and lit them, and the house turned on again. , it’s a little troublesome to light, but the brightness is not as bright as a candle, and it’s much easier to use.
Zhao Dahai remembered that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had made an appointment to have dinner in the evening. This kind of weather was really bad. It was windy and rainy now, so we couldn't go out. So he went to push the matter aside later when he could go out. The weather was nice. Let’s talk later.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while after lunch. The wind calmed down a little. Just when he was about to go out to Zhong Shizhu's house, someone was patting the door of the yard. He went out to take a look, and Zhong Shizhu came first.
“The sea.”
"This typhoon is too strong!"
"Let's wait for another day to eat."
Zhong Shizhu roared loudly. The wind was too strong and it was raining. Otherwise, it was impossible to hear him.
Zhao Dahai nodded immediately and urged Zhong Shizhu to go home quickly.
Zhong Shizhu turned around and left to avoid the storm getting worse later.
Zhao Dahai cooked dinner with his grandma Zhong Cuihua and went to bed early. There was really nothing to do in Typhoon Tianzhen.
Zhao Dahai woke up and looked outside the window. It was no longer raining. After listening for a while, he found that the wind had basically stopped. He got up immediately and opened the door. He saw that the sky began to light up and there was only zero light. There were scattered dark clouds, no rain, and a little wind. I looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the morning the next day. I had slept long enough. The fatigue from being at sea all this time disappeared. .
Zhao Dahai immediately rode a tricycle to the pier. The waves on the sea were still very big and he could not get on the fishing boat. He looked at it from a distance and found that there was no problem.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and other people with fishing boats in the village rushed over one after another. The impact of the typhoon on the fishing boats was very great. This time the situation was very good, no fishing boats were damaged. .
Zhong Shizhu walked up to Zhao Dahai and pointed to the reef at the east end of the village.
Zhao Dahai looked over and saw that there must be at least dozens of people on the beach and the rocks. He couldn't help but feel happy. Zhong Shizhu told him this before the typhoon. So many people were rushing to pick up fish. They would definitely not be able to pick up fish now. What, but I had no intention of doing this in the first place. I didn’t think about doing this. In the past, I mostly had no money and no food to eat when I picked up fish. Picking up more fish can help me order more food, but now I don’t need to do this anymore.
Zhao Dahai made sure that the fishing boat was okay and went home immediately. After the typhoon, there was a lot of work to do. The tricycle parked at the door of the yard and turned around to go directly to the vegetable garden behind the house.
"Grandma!"
"I'll do it!"
Zhao Dahai said as he walked over quickly. The vegetable garden was in a mess, and grandma Zhong Cuihua couldn't stay idle. I was already busy, but I didn’t rush. I walked around the house twice and carefully checked that there was nothing wrong with the house. Then I started to tidy up the vegetable garden. All the beans, luffa and melons had fallen over. I picked the beans and melons that were edible, and the vines and so on. The vegetables were in better condition, and some were able to stay. It took several hours to clean up the entire vegetable garden, and all the bamboo fences that had been blown down by the wind were lifted up and re-reinforced. However, this was only temporary, as the heavy rains of the typhoon had just passed. , the ground is soft, you have to wait a few days, the sun comes out and dries and hardens the ground, then it will really work if you dig the bamboo stakes again and tie them firmly. After tidying up the vegetable garden, the next step is the chicken pen.
Zhao Dahai worked for almost four hours at a stretch, and it was not until noon that everything was sorted. When he returned to the yard, the tap water was turned on, and he immediately rinsed the yard.
After having lunch, Zhao Dahai didn’t bother to rest. He immediately went out to the town and bought various seeds. In addition, he went to a place selling fishing nets and bought twenty bundles of each. I bought a bundle of five hundred meters of chopstick-thick nylon thread, and bought a large number of hooks and sub-threads. Then I went to the market and bought twenty baskets and some foam cotton before returning home.
Zhao Dahai took the vegetable seeds he bought to the vegetable garden and planted them all. The typhoon had just passed and he could not go to sea for the time being. He should hurry up and finish the work in the vegetable garden as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the weather is good, Going to sea and growing vegetables will delay things in both directions.
At night.
The fishing village slowly became quiet, and the impact of the typhoon continued, but it was no longer significant.
Zhao Dahai had dinner and started to do his own business.
The nylon threads, baskets, hooks and threads bought during the day were all put out in the main room.
Use scissors to cut the foam cotton into a width of ten centimeters. Place it around the mouth of the basket and tie it tightly with a thin wire. All twenty baskets were exactly the same, and it took an hour to tie them all.
Zhao Dahai then began to tie the hooks. The thin sub-threads were tied to the hooks, leaving one meter long. Every ten meters, a hook was tied to the 500-meter-long nylon main thread of the chopsticks. A hook was tied. , the main line of nylon thread was arranged and placed in the center of the basket, folded in circles without being messy, and the hooks were hung on the foam cotton tied up in the basket. I was busy until two o'clock in the morning before everything was ready.
Zhao Dahai stood up and stretched. He had just tied a row of hooks. This is a fishing method in which many sub-lines are tied to one main line and released into the sea. It looks like a large string hook. Hook, after the typhoon, the sea water is relatively mixed, so it is not easy to catch or fish, but this kind of weather is very suitable for catching a kind of fish, and these rows of hooks are prepared for this kind of fish.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
