Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 160 It's Not "Cousin" It's "Cousin"!
Zhao Dahai held his breath, stared at the fish pulled out of the water with wide eyes for a while, and then relaxed the deflated ball.

"Hey!"

"Chunzi!"

"Thought it was a big yellow croaker!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.Chunzi fish looks a bit like a large yellow croaker, not only in shape, but also the two kinds of fish will turn golden yellow in a relatively muddy sea environment, like gold bars. Some places joke that they are "cousin of large yellow croaker".

Zhao Dahai pulled the fish to the side of the boat, picked up the net and took a closer look. Yes, it was spring croaker, not big yellow croaker.

Spring croaker is indeed not as good as large yellow croaker, but it is definitely a good fish. The fish is thick, without small spines, very tender, and tastes very good. It can be eaten by children, the elderly or those with weaker constitutions.

The price of spring croaker is far lower than that of large yellow croaker, but only relatively speaking, spring croaker of more than 80 taels can be sold for 100 yuan or even [-] yuan per catty, and the bigger it is, the more expensive it is.

Zhao Dahai took off the hook and weighed it. The spring croaker he caught was no less than two catties. This fish could be sold for at least 200 yuan. It wasn't a large yellow croaker. The chance of making a fortune was gone, but small fortunes were inevitable.

Zhao Dahai is a little strange. The water depth here is about ten meters, which is not the best water depth for spring fish.

Zhao Dahai pondered for a while, but he didn't have a clue, no matter what three sevens and twenty ones, as long as there is, the sea extends in all directions, spring fish come whenever they want, no one cares, there is a sea centipede on the hook, throw the pole to the end, tighten the line, stare at the tip of the pole, shake a few times for a while, did not raise the pole immediately to stab the fish, waited for a while until the pole bent down, and then raised the pole to hit the fish.

Chunzi fish is a bit like a dog shark. It eats very fiercely. It is the kind that is stuffy in one bite, and it is easy to eat to death.This is different from black sea bream, especially yellow sea bream. Black sea bream and yellow sea bream are very careful when eating bait, and they are careful to test. If they do not prick the fish in time and eat the bait, they will spit out the hook and run away. Yellow sea bream is more obvious.

The more Zhao Dahai fished, the more surprised he was. The spring fish took the bait one by one, the smallest one weighed a catty, the largest one weighed three catties, and they stabbed into the nest again, and this time it was the "cousin" of the big yellow croaker.

Zhao Dahai shook his hands. The fishing rod in his hand was mainly used to catch about one catty of black bream and yellow bream. Now all he caught were two or three catties of spring bream.

The sun goes down.

Zhao Dahai put away his fishing rod, and the time to make money passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the last spring fish he caught was half an hour ago. There should be few fish, so he decided not to catch it.

Zhao Dahai looked at the living cabin, and found that the black ones were full of fish. He took the nets, kept the live ones in the living cabin, and fished out the dead ones and put them in the refrigerator. They were neatly folded, especially the spring fish. The price is very high, and it cannot be sloppy.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat back to the village pier. When he arrived, he remembered that Zhao Shi had told him during the day that a lot of squid could be found in the area ten nautical miles to the northeast every year. He changed his mind and didn't go home for the time being.

Night falls.

Zhao Dahai rushed to the place, looked around, there were no fishing boats nearby, it was pitch black, only the sound of some waves beating could be heard.

Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked into the distance. The dots of lights were not too dense. These were fishing boats, not many. However, at four or five o'clock in the morning, the entire sea was brightly lit, which was very spectacular.

Zhao Dahai stopped the fishing boat, set up the light on the sea surface, and turned on the switch. It was as bright as a small sun. The blue-green underwater light was lowered along the side of the boat. The water was six meters deep and the sea was relatively muddy, and only a cloud of yellow-green could be vaguely seen.

Zhao Dahai waited while resting. There were no squid or cuttlefish. Groups of small fish came. After a closer look, they were anchovies. This is a small fish that is common in shallow seas. When the season comes, the number of groups is very large, but generally no one catches it. count.

Zhao Dahai picked up the net, tried it five or six times, and only caught two or three. Remembering that he had bought a few pairs of fish skin hooks, he immediately took a fishing rod, tied it and threw it into the sea.

It is very easy to catch anchovies. If you encounter a school of fish, you will bite the hook when you see it. But unhooking the fish is very troublesome. There are many hooks on the hook.

Zhao Dahai didn't unhook them one by one. It was too troublesome. Holding the lead in his left hand and the fishing rod in his right, the reel was taut, and he shook it violently up and down twice. The anchovies hanging on the hook fell off the hook and fell on the deck, like it was raining.

Zhao threw the hooks into the sea, one after another, another after another, and in less than 10 minutes, the deck was full of anchovies. This is the real madness.

Zhao Dahai lowered his head and looked at the sea surface. Under the strong light, groups of anchovies were swimming in the sea water, shuttling back and forth.

Finished!

The sea is full of anchovies, there is no chance of squid or cuttlefish.

Zhao Dahai was a little bit unwilling to give up. He waited for an hour and replaced it with wooden prawns. After smoking for 10 minutes, all he caught were anchovies. He was very speechless and gave up fishing.There are indeed cuttlefish or squid in the sea, but there are definitely not many of them. At least I didn’t encounter them tonight. I made up my mind to come here every time I go fishing in the future, and see if I can make a fortune someday.

Zhao Dahai began to pack the anchovies on the deck. They were cheap, and he didn't intend to sell them, but he just ate them himself. There was nothing special about them. He took a bucket and put some crushed ice on them to finish the job.

Zhao Dahai returned to the pier. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening. He took the time to pack up his things, cleaned the fishing boat, and caught a lot of fish. The live fish and the valuable spring fish were taken home first. Then he rode a motorcycle to the pier and took two net bags.

Zhao Dahai took a knife and a chopping board, peeled off the fish scales, opened the fish maw, and cleaned the anchovies of about four catties. Each anchovy weighed two liang, very fat, and the belly was full of oil. When the big iron pan was heated, some oil smoked, and the fish was fried for a while. After adding water, ginger slices, salt, and soy sauce, they covered the anchovies for 10 minutes.

Zhao Dahai took the big iron basin, which was full of steaming heat, and just went out and put it on the table in the yard, and called grandma Zhong Cuihua to eat.

"grandmother!"

"These days I go fishing and come back late!"

"Almost around this time today."

……

"I want to see if there are squid or cuttlefish in the sea!"

"It will be at night."

……

Zhao Dahai told his grandma Zhong Cuihua that he would come back late for the next few days. He picked up an anchovy and put the whole one into his mouth. When he pulled it out, a fish bone was pulled out. The fish meat was all in his mouth. It was salty and fresh, and it tasted like ginger.

After dinner, Zhao Dahai took a look at the fish caught in the fishpond today. Most of the fish he could feed were black sea bream. There were not many spring breams, so he was a little proud. He made a lot of money today, and checked the fresh spring bream in the refrigerator. If there was no problem, he went to take a bath in peace. It was almost one o’clock in the morning when he was lying on the bed. The tide will be early tomorrow.
