fisherman legend

Chapter 2

Compared with coastal fishermen often go out to sea to fish, Nanshan Island is located in the deep sea, and it takes more than an hour to sail to the nearest inhabited island.If you go to a seaside town with more people, the fishing boat also needs to sail for at least two hours.

Although there are several small islands nearby, Nanshan Island is only less than [-] nautical miles away from the open sea.In addition to the fact that the island is far away from the inland, although the island is not small in size, the freshwater resources are not rich, so that the villagers on the island have moved away one after another.

This time Zhuang Haiyang decided to move back to live on Nanshan Island, and many villagers who moved out were a little confused.But knowing that Zhuang Haiyang even sold the house he bought in the city, he finally believed that Zhuang Haiyang was determined to go back to live on the island.

Zhuang Haiyang really didn't care much about what other people thought.The former village neighbors, after leaving Nanshan Island, have less and less contact with each other every year.Besides, to Zhuang Haiyang at this moment, he is no different from a loner.

I dived into Zhuang Haiyang at the bottom of the reef pit in one breath, looked at the sea fish swimming past, and felt that the fish resources in this reef pit area were indeed much more than in the early years.In the early years, villagers cast nets into the pit every now and then!
"Fishing has been banned for more than ten years, and there are quite a lot of fish and shrimps that use the reef pit as a safe haven. It is the mouse spot! I haven't tasted this kind of grouper for a long time. I have time to come and catch a few rods. The Dongxing spot is also Yes, wild ones are really rare.”

Looking at the various groupers foraging for food at the bottom of the pit, even in Zhuang Haiyang, which has excellent water quality, it is also difficult to catch this wild grouper in the water with bare hands.When he got to the bottom of the pit, Zhuang Haiyang soon saw seafood for extra meals.

Following Zhuang Haiyang's line of sight, the bottom of the pit covered with sand, stones and human garbage, several large lobsters with large bodies are looking for food at the bottom of the pit.Compared with the difficulty of catching wild grouper, Zhuang Haiyang thinks this kind of big lobster is easier to start.

Perhaps sensing the threat, the big lobster targeted by Zhuang Haiyang quickly ejected into the cave of the reef pit.Fortunately, these caves are not deep, and the big lobster that got into the cave is still exposed to Zhuang Haiyang's sight.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled secretly: "Is this the lobster version of deception?"

Dive to the lobster hiding place he picked, Zhuang Haiyang carefully stretched out his hand.Just when the big lobster used its tentacles to sense the danger around it.Just as he was about to flee, Zhuang Haiyang directly pressed him into the cave.

Holding the back shell of the big lobster, Zhuang Haiyang turned the lobster over to look at it and nodded secretly: "Not bad! This amount should be about three catties. Steam it and dip it in seafood sauce. It should taste good!"

Ignoring the other frightened lobsters, Zhuang Haiyang, who quickly surfaced, grabbed the struggling lobster and went ashore.From the clothes he took off, he took out the fishing line that he carried with him, tied it up, and returned to the reef pit again.

Leaving the largest reef pit, Zhuang Haiyang checked the other reef pits again, and found that there were quite a lot of groupers and lobsters living in this reef pit area.When he went ashore again, Zhuang Haiyang had two more swimming crabs and several large snails in his hands.

After confirming that the meal was hearty, Zhuang Haiyang returned to his yard again after changing into the clean clothes he brought.Put the caught lobsters, swimming crabs and conchs in the water tank filled with seawater, and began to set up the liquefaction stove we bought.

Looking at the temporary kitchen and looking up at the sky, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "After dinner, it is necessary to clean up the kitchen in the afternoon. If it is going to rain, the stove can only be moved to the living room to cook gone."

In the morning, I cleaned up the courtyard and the bedroom where my parents lived, and left the room where the sundries were piled up. Zhuang Haiyang hadn't come to clean it up yet.Considering that my sister's family may come to stay for two days in the future, the other rooms also need to be cleaned up.

As for Zhuang Haiyang himself, he still decided to move to the second floor, the room he lived in when he was a child.Each of those rooms looks like it needs a lot of repairs.But when he came back from this trip, what Zhuang Haiyang needed most was time.

As a fisherman's son, Zhuang Haiyang naturally knows how to cook seafood.Even if the conditions are a bit rough, Zhuang Haiyang who can set up a steamer believes that the steamed seafood will be delicious later.It's really not cheap to change this meal in the city!
"Seafood, seafood, is only fresh from the sea. When I have time in the future, I will make a few vegetable plots. In addition to buying food in the town, other daily necessities can actually be grown on the island. "

For many fishermen living in the open sea, seafood is not expensive, but vegetables are really expensive.Knowing that the village used to have a vegetable field, Zhuang Haiyang felt that it should be enough to reclaim it and grow some vegetables for self-sufficiency.

Zhuang Haiyang, who had been back to the village before, had carefully observed the fresh water resources that the villagers were relocated before.In fact, Nanshan Island has a lot of fresh water resources.However, it is relatively difficult to extract it.

Fortunately, it should not be difficult for Zhuang Haiyang to absorb fresh water!
Considering that there is no electricity, Zhuang Haiyang's staple food in these two days can only be steamed buns or noodles.Nanshan Island hangs alone in the open sea. To solve the problem of electricity consumption, Zhuang Haiyang has already purchased a domestic diesel generator.

When there is time later, Zhuang Haiyang will also consider inviting people to the island to install some solar power panels in his old house or next to it.When it is used together with diesel generators for power supply, I believe that Zhuang Haiyang does not have to worry about the lack of electricity on the island.

As for the network problem, it is impossible for Zhuang Haiyang to ask someone to bring the network to the island, so he can only use the wireless network.Fortunately, Fanzhuang Haiyang has tried several times before, and the wireless network on Nanshan Island has a strong signal.

Thinking about the need for complete living facilities, Zhuang Haiyang felt that even if he lived here, he seemed to be able to enjoy the same life as in the city.The only difference, perhaps, is that a person living on the island can only entertain himself.

Smelling the aroma of seafood in the steamer, Zhuang Haiyang, who had already set up a temporary table, also prepared his favorite dipping sauce.After confirming that it can be out of the pan, the shrimp and crab in the steamer and the same steamed conch are served on the table.

Seeing the big lobsters and swimming crabs whose shells had turned red, Zhuang Haiyang also inhaled intoxicatedly and said, "It's so delicious!"

He took out a few steamed buns from the steamer above, and tore off the heads of the big lobsters. The steaming and plump shrimp meat was soon presented to Zhuang Haiyang.Break off a piece of shrimp, roll it in the dipping water, and pop it into your mouth.

Chewing the lobster meat in his mouth, Zhuang Haiyang said very satisfied: "Fresh, fragrant, tender and with a touch of sweetness, this lobster is authentic! If those guys see what I ate today, they will probably say that I am fine Put the poison on!"

Those who are content are always happy, and those who know how to be satisfied can have happiness.In the eyes of others, Zhuang Haiyang hid in Nanshan Island to escape reality.But only Zhuang Haiyang knows that this kind of self-sufficiency and carefree life may be what he expects.

After eating a few mouthfuls of tender and smooth lobster meat, Zhuang Haiyang set his sights on two swimming crabs weighing more than half a catty.Break open the shell of one of the female crabs, and the inside is covered with red paste.Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang nodded in satisfaction.

Picking up the chopsticks, he said, "This crab roe is pretty good! I'll catch some next time if I have a chance, and make a bottle of crab roe paste for seasoning. It should taste good!"

When my parents were alive in my early years, whenever crabs were on the market, they would make some crab paste.For Zhuang Haiyang, this is not only the taste of childhood, but also the taste of mother.For many adults, childhood may be the most unforgettable and memorable memory!
