Chapter 193 The first serious chat with Ding Xiaoxiang
Zhao Dahai hurriedly finished his dinner and took a few palm-sized dried cuttlefish. This was the last time Zhong Shizhu caught him and gave him a box , some are sold, and some are left to dry. This is one of the best snacks for people in the seaside fishing village.
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen. He used the tongs to remove the layer of ash on the inside of the stove, revealing the red charcoal. He blew lightly and it lit up.
Zhao Dahai took two wooden sticks and put them in. A shelf was set up on the fire charcoal. Two palm-sized dried cuttlefish were placed on it. The charcoal fire was slowly roasting, and slowly a fragrance wafted out. When I came out, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. After five or six minutes, I took it out and looked at it. One side was already grilled. I turned it over and put the other side on the charcoal fire. After another five or six minutes, I took it out and carefully cooked it. After looking at it, I saw it was a little browned, so I broke it off gently with my hands. It was a little crispy, but a little tough, just right. I put it on a clean plate and let it dry for half an hour before putting it in a bag.
Zhao Dahai said something to his grandma Zhong Cuihua, took Xiao Naihei out on a tricycle, rushed to the entrance of Dashi Village, found a place to park, and immediately went to a remote place where he and Ding Xiaoxiang had agreed to meet. , I can no longer stay at the entrance of the village to avoid meeting familiar people like I met Ding Lihua last time.
Yang Qin's family.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already half past eight.
“Let’s go!”
“Remember to cover me when I ask about it!”
Ding Xiaoxiang said to Yang Qin and walked out of Yang Qin’s house , I looked left and right and saw no one, so I walked a few steps forward, got into a small alley, avoided the place where I could meet people, ran out of the village entrance, turned a corner, and got into a small alley. After a while, he appeared in a small clearing in the middle of the forest. Zhao Dahai was already waiting, and Xiao Naihei rushed over immediately.
"Yo!"
"Why do you grow taller every time I see you?"
......
"I really eat well and sleep well." !”
……
"If this continues, it will grow like a calf!"
......
Ding Xiaoxiang gently patted Xiao Naihei's forehead, and then gently pulled Xiao Naihei's erect penis. The ears, standing and gesticulating, have indeed grown a lot taller.
Ding Xiaoxiang tried it but couldn’t hold it up.
Zhao Dahai waited for Ding Xiaoxiang and Xiao Naihei to play for a while and then came over.
"Here!"
Zhao Dahai took out the dried cuttlefish he had baked.
"Huh?"
"What is it? Why does it smell so good."
Ding Xiaoxiang smelled a very familiar fragrance and couldn't remember what it was. It was so fragrant that I couldn't help but take a sip secretly. I took the bag and opened it to take a look.
"Ah?"
"Is the grilled cuttlefish dried?!"
"How do you know this is my favorite food?"
Ding Xiaoxiang was surprised and happy, but she didn't Thinking of Zhao Dahai bringing his favorite food.
“My house is exposed to a lot of sun!”
"I'll bake it for you next time and bring it over!"
Zhao Dahai really didn't know that Ding Xiaoxiang likes to eat grilled dried cuttlefish, but he just thinks that all the children who grew up in the fishing village don't like to eat this thing. Think of hitting the right spot.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
“This is my favorite!”
Ding Xiaoxiang was not polite, she tore open the grilled dried cuttlefish and put it in her mouth to eat. .
The difference between dried cuttlefish and dried squid is that dried cuttlefish is thicker. If it is grilled well, it will be torn apart piece by piece. It is very delicious and durable. It has a burnt aroma when you first eat it, but the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes.
“That’s right!”
“What have you been doing these days?!”
Ding Xiaoxiang asked Zhao Dahai what he did these days while eating dried cuttlefish. What's the matter? From time to time, I tear off a little bit and put it in the mouth of the little milk black next to me.
“Didn’t you say that you can’t go to sea before and after the typhoon?”
"In the days just after the typhoon, I rested at home and tidied up the vegetable garden. The typhoon knocked everything down and planted it again."
...
"It was my first time to go to sea the day before yesterday."
“Put the hook in!”
“I found a place to catch giant eels!”
"I caught more than two hundred kilograms!"
......
"Today I took a person out to sea for fishing, the kind that charges boat fees."
"Others There were no fish anywhere, so I went to the fish raft, and unexpectedly there happened to be a group of kingfish.”
“The two of us caught more than two hundred kilograms of kingfish.”
...
Zhao Dahai talked in detail about what he had done these days.
“Huh?”
“Is it the eel that weighs more than 200 kilograms?”
“Did you sell it to Liu Gang? Why haven’t you heard about this? ?”
Ding Xiaoxiang was very surprised. In the past two days, she had been delivering fish, shrimps and crabs to Liu Gang's ninth floor every day, but she didn't see Zhao Dahai, and she didn't hear that he had collected big white eels.
“Hey!”
“You can’t let Liu Gang know about this!”
“The man who went fishing just now is named Wu Weimin, and he happens to be from a private restaurant The boss came to me to fish, and he bought it immediately.”
“The small one weighs one or two pounds, and the big one costs two hundred and twenty yuan per pound!”
Zhao Dahai reminded Ding Xiaoxiang not to spill the beans.
“Hee hee hee!”
“If Liu Gang knew you sold it to someone else, he would probably jump in a hurry.”
Ding Xiaoxiang was happy. Big white eel is a top-quality seafood, and Liu Gang's restaurant must be a coveted one. If no one cuts it off, it will belong to Liu Gang.
“How can you catch so many fish on the fish raft?”
Ding Xiaoxiang was not surprised that Zhao Dahai was able to catch the giant eel with the hook, but it was really difficult to catch so many kingfish on the fish raft.
"I just happened to meet him! The fish steak boss probably won't welcome me there anymore."
Zhao Dahai made a joke, Zhang Defei will go there next time he sees him If so, it must be a little thumping in my heart.
“Huh?”
“Why do you say that?”
Ding Xiaoxiang was very curious.
Zhao Dahai said that he went there several times and caught a lot of fish each time. Although he said that these fish were all in the sea and it was his own ability to catch them, Zhang Defei felt that it was not the case. It's very comfortable. The key is that I catch too much and make too much money. Ding Xiaoxiang thought that this was really the case. If she saw other people catching so many fish on her fish raft and making so much money, she would not feel particularly comfortable.
“That’s right!”
“Do you want to eat dried cuttlefish?”
Ding Xiaoxiang pulled off a small piece of dried cuttlefish and put it in her mouth. She suddenly remembered that she was just eating without asking Zhao Dahai. But as soon as she said the words, she lowered her head and saw that her hands were empty. That was the last piece.
Zhao Dahai shook his head and did not say that he did not like to eat.
“Hey!”
“It’s getting late, I have to go back, otherwise my mother will be looking for me!”
Ding Xiaoxiang blushed a little Stand up, turn around and run.
Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang run further and further out of sight, and waited for a while before leaving with Xiao Naihei.
When Zhao Dahai returned home, his grandma Zhong Cuihua was already sleeping. As soon as Xiao Naihei entered the courtyard door, he immediately ran to grandma Zhong Cuihua's room.
Zhao Dahai went back to his room and lay on the bed. Tonight was the first time that he and Ding Xiaoxiang had a serious chat.
“I didn’t expect to like eating dried cuttlefish so much. I’ll bake it a little more next time or make something else.”
Zhao Dahai closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while. Making money went very smoothly, and the days passed. The better, Ding Xiaoxiang's progress becomes smoother day by day, and she has to work harder.
Ding Xiaoxiang trotted back to the door, took several deep breaths, rested for a few minutes, wiped the sweat from her forehead and nose, then opened the door and walked in.
"Huh?"
"Where have you been?"
Zhang Li walked out of the room and saw Ding Xiaoxiang.
“Yang Qin’s family!”
Ding Xiaoxiang felt a little nervous but her expression did not change.
Zhang Li nodded and said nothing.
Ding Xiaoxiang returned to her room, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was late, so she drank some water and lay on the bed to sleep. She couldn't fall asleep for a while, thinking of what Zhao Dahai just said about catching fish. Giant white eel and kingfish.
“A big white eel weighing more than 200 kilograms costs more than 200 yuan per kilogram?”
“Isn’t this worth more than 40,000 yuan?”
......
"No matter how much you buy goldfish, it costs thirty or forty yuan a pound, right? And there is also black goldfish."
"Now it costs ten thousand or eight thousand yuan again. ! ”
“For two points, one person must have four to five thousand yuan.”
……
Ding Xiaoxiang was shocked. She didn't pay attention to this matter just now. Now after doing the calculation, she realized that Zhao Dahai had earned 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in the past two or three days.
“Hey!”
“Isn’t this ability to make money really great?”
Sun Xiaoxiang turned over, hugged her pillow, closed her eyes, Fall asleep quickly.
The sun sets.
Zhao Dahai came back from fishing and slowed down as he approached the dock.
I came back from a meeting with Ding Xiaoxiang last night and had a good sleep. I went fishing early in the morning and the harvest was very poor. The fish I caught in the whole day was only five or six pounds, and most of them were not large. A valuable little fish.
Zhao Dahai parked the fishing boat and saw Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin chatting not far away, and shouted hello loudly.
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin came over and asked how their fishing was today.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. He really didn’t do well in fishing. He opened the live cabin, fished out a few times and picked up so many fish.
"How are you doing these days? Can you make money?"
Zhao Dahai took a bucket and poured the fish directly into it. It was worthless at all. He was too lazy to put water to raise it. He could just put it in the pot when he got back.
“Didn’t the typhoon just pass by?”
“It’s okay if there are no fish in the sea. I don’t know why there have been a lot more people releasing hooks in the past few days.”< br>
“This is really like seeing a ghost. Why haven’t I seen so many people setting off hooks before?”
“It seemed that all the hooks were filled in the sea immediately, and even the nets were affected.”
…
“I heard that someone caught a lot of big white eels with the hooks a few days ago. .”
“There will be so many people soon!”
……
Zhao Dahai listened to Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin complaining one by one. He didn't care at first, but as he listened, he realized that this matter was related to him.
"Huh?"
"Is the person fishing for the eel yours?"
Zhong Shizhu was stunned for a moment, he and Liu Bin were still talking about this matter just now Is it true? I didn't expect that the real owner is Zhao Dahai, whom both myself and Liu Bin are very familiar with.
Zhao Dahai told Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu that he went out to sea a few days ago to set a hook and caught a large white eel weighing about two hundred kilograms.
When the row hooks were being released and retracted, many people saw it, and when returning to the pier, many people saw it. There were already many fishing boats releasing hooks the next day. It is estimated that the news has become more and more serious in the past few days. There are more and more talents to release hooks. There are more hooks releasing, and the space for placing fishing nets is crowded. There will definitely be conflicts. .
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were a little bit dumbfounded, but they were shocked when they heard that Zhao Dahai had caught two hundred kilograms of eel. This time they made a lot of money.
Zhao Dahai packed up the fishing boat, carried a few kilograms of fish caught today, and went to the pier to go home. He was definitely not in a good mood when he couldn't catch fish, but he was used to it. I lost a few days' worth of money.
Zhao Dahai went home and cooked all the fish. Some were used for soup and the other for frying. After a good meal, he went to bed early and went to sea early the next morning on a fishing boat. , I couldn’t catch any fish one day, and I continued fishing the next day. But what I didn’t expect was that until two o’clock at noon, the harvest was exactly the same as yesterday, very bleak.
Zhao Dahai looked at the five or six poles placed on the boat, all of them motionless. When there were fish, not even one pole was busy, and when there were no fish, a bunch of poles were useless.
Zhao Dahai looked at the sea surface. The sea water was very clear and the water color was very good. There was no wind or waves. The weather was great, but there were no fish.
Reef Trench?
Lots of fishing boats!
Oyster field?
More fishing boats!
Two places to catch grouper?
These are the spots for big fish. Where do you get the fish you catch every day?
There are twenty or thirty fishing spots around, especially the places where I have caught a lot of fish in the past. I have tried them all in the past two days, but there are really no fish.
Zhao Dahai stood up, walked back and forth on the deck twice, walked to the bow, and stared at the end of the sea with wide eyes.
The number of fish, shrimps and crabs in the shallow sea is very limited, and there are many people fishing. If you want to catch fish, especially if you want to catch more fish, the only way is to go further. If you want to travel further, you can't do it on your own fishing boat. The speed of a wooden fishing boat with a diesel engine is limited, and it is impossible to go any faster with dual diesel engines. It can't be compared to a speedboat at all. The diesel-engined wooden fishing boat traveled farther away. It took half a day to go out and another half day to come back. All the time was spent on the road.
Is it necessary to replace the fishing boat and buy a speedboat?
I decided to repair the wooden boat at the beginning. One was to save money and spend the least amount of money to get a fishing boat to go fishing. The other was a fishing boat left by my parents. No matter whether I use it or not, I had to repair it as a souvenir. I thought, we can't let it all rot away due to exposure to wind and sun. Facts have proved that my decision was correct. I repaired the fishing boat and made a lot of money from fishing. Without this fishing boat, my life would not have improved so quickly. However, I am now encountering new difficulties.
Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while. There are no fish in the sea these days. He will go to see the speedboat tomorrow and decide whether to buy a new boat or not. Even if he doesn’t buy it now, it doesn’t hurt to know the market situation in advance.
Asking for monthly ticket recommendations! Thanks!
