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

Chapter 3 Roll the fish soup!
Zhao Dahai quickly calmed down. It is true that repairing a ship is much cheaper than buying a ship, but it will cost thousands of dollars, and it is not easy to get together the money.

How can I earn this money?
Zhao Dahai frowned, and couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he gave up temporarily, stood up, and was just about to turn around and go home, when he heard a "pop" from the sea not far away.

Huh?
Are there any big fish here?
Zhao Dahai stared at the surface of the sea with wide eyes, and pricked up his ears. This is the sound made by fish rushing out of the water and smashing back when they are hunting for prey. Only big fish and ferocious big fish can do this kind of thing.

"Snapped!"

……

"thump!"

……

At first Zhao Dahai thought it was coming from the surface of the sea, but after a few more noises, he realized that it was not. He turned his eyes away and stared at the rocks not far from him. After waiting for a while, a fish with the thickness of an arm jumped out. In the blink of an eye, it fell back into the sea, causing a small splash of water.

Crab tiger?

Could it be that there are crab tigers here?

Zhao Dahai was both surprised and delighted.I can't see it very clearly, but I grew up by the sea, and I immediately guessed what kind of fish it might be.

Gobies look like catfish in fresh water. Generally speaking, they grow in places where rocks are piled up on the seashore, or even in mangrove forests, or even in mudflats where seawater floods at high tide and ebbs and there is no water, hiding in rock crevices or holes.It is very ferocious by nature, although it is a fish, crabs are the main food, "it can eat crabs as fierce as a tiger", which is the origin of its name.This kind of fish is tender, delicious and less fishy, ​​rich in nutrition, very nourishing, and can accelerate wound healing. It is very suitable for caesarean section women and people who have undergone surgery, and it can be eaten by toddlers. It can relax muscles and strengthen bones.

Zhao Dahai walked to the waterline soaked in high tide seawater, turned on the flashlight, and looked carefully. Large and small reefs were piled up intertwined, and seawater poured in, forming water holes one by one.

"Aha!"

"It's really a good place to grow crab tigers!"

After observing for ten minutes, Zhao Dahai concluded that there were 100% crab tigers, and immediately decided to catch them.Small ones are not uncommon, but the price of crab tigers weighing more than half a catty is very good, and they can definitely sell for money.This place cannot be dug, even if it is really dug, the crab tiger will not know where to go, the easiest way is to fish.

Zhao Dahai made up his mind and immediately turned around and went home. He had been out for a long time, and grandma Zhong Cuihua would be worried if she didn't go back. Sure enough, she saw grandma walking around the gate of the yard from a distance, and hurriedly yelled.

"Come back so late?"

"It's been an hour since high tide!"

Zhong Cuihua walked over quickly.

When Zhao Dahai saw it, he trotted over quickly. It was seventy years old, and it was night again. It was a terrible fall. He helped Zhong Cuihua back to the yard and sat down on a low stool. He didn't say that he planned to repair the fishing boat left by his father and go out to sea. Regarding fishing, I only said that I had a rest on the beach for a while before I came back late.

Zhao Dahai took out a large iron basin with a dozen stone crabs in a mesh bag and put it aside, poured out half a catty of snails and mullet in the bucket.

"Yo!"

"These aconites are not big but fat!"

Zhong Cuihua stretched out her hand and pulled it a few times.

"Ha ha!"

"grandmother!"

"Sit down for a while."

"It's fresh. It won't taste good at dawn tomorrow. Make some fish soup. Let's have a bowl together."

While talking, Zhao Dahai took a knife and a chopping board and began to kill the fish.During the day, porridge and rice are used to fill the stomach, not a bit meaty, and now it is late at night, the sea breeze is blowing a bit cold, drinking a bowl of hot fish soup, warming the body and sleeping comfortably.Grandma Zhong Cuihua is getting older and she has been working hard for the past two years, and her body is very overdrawn. One needs to rest more, and the other needs to eat and drink well.

The fish is really fat, round and full of oil.

Zhao Dahai killed several fish at once, scraped off the fish scales, cleaned the bamboo basket, drained it, and walked into the kitchen with it, put water in the fire pot, put the fish, cut two slices of ginger and put it in, you can go The fishy smell is gone, and it is boiled again, and a layer of oily fishy fish floats, all of which are fish oil.

Zhao Dahai added some salt, filled a bowl of soup and three fish, took the chopsticks, and walked to the yard with them on the small table set up in front of Zhong Cuihua.

"I'm not hungry. You drink!"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"grandmother!"

"It's in the pot!"

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen while talking, and brought out a bowl of soup after a while.

Smiling, Zhong Cuihua picked up the chopsticks and picked up two fish and put them into Zhao Dahai's bowl, leaving only one for herself, so she picked up the bowl and ate the fish and drank the soup.

Zhao Dahai didn't refuse, he ate fish and soup, and beat his little grandma Zhong Cuihua to hurt him. He gave himself all the delicious and delicious food. On a good day, grandma can eat well, drink spicy food, and have a good rest.

Zhao Dahai packed up the pots and bowls, walked into the main room, saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua weaving fishing nets again, and saw that it was past eleven o'clock.

Zhao Dahai was always thinking about the crab goby on the reef. He dragged out a wooden box from the corner of the wall. After digging through it for a while, he found fishing lines and hooks. Every household in the fish village did not lack such things. At the place where the line is two fingers long, sandwich a piece of lead the size of a peanut. Behind the lead, leave about two meters long. Cut a small wooden stick with a hatchet and wrap it around for easy carrying. The crab tiger hides in the reef hole and does not need it. Fishing rods and hand silk are fine, and I tied ten sets of spares in one breath, and then I went to bed.

Zhao Dahai got up early the next day.I caught a dozen large and small stone crabs last night, washed them clean, opened the crab cover, they were very fat, and they were all red paste, tear off the crab gills and stomach, cut them with a knife, divide them into four, and cook them in a pan Oil, stir-fried for a while, put rice in water and boiled over high heat, added a little shredded ginger, covered it for a while, opened it, a fresh fragrance rushed into the nose, and swallowed saliva.Don't look at the unremarkable stone crab. No one on the beach is willing to pay for it, but it tastes really good, and it is first-class for cooking porridge.

Zhao Dahai walked into the main room with the porridge, and his grandma Zhong Cuihua got up at five o'clock in the morning to weave fishing nets.

"grandmother."

"When I was catching the sea last night, I saw crab gobies on the reefs at the east end of the village. They are quite big. I am going to try to catch a few and sell them."

While drinking porridge, Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that he would go fishing for crabs and goby in a while.

Zhong Cuihua nodded, she can really catch big crab gobies and sell them for money.

Zhao Dahai quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, took an aluminum bucket, stuffed a mesh bag and took the hook tied last night, and went out immediately. When he arrived at the small pier in front of the village, he walked around and picked up half The small fish and shrimps that fell after going out to sea to fish in the morning, the sun has just risen for an hour, the temperature has already risen, once exposed to the sun, the stench is overwhelming, you can’t eat it, but it’s good as a bait.When fishing in the sea, different fish use different baits. For example, when fishing bass, live shrimp is best, but for crab tigers, including stone eels, rotten fish and rotten shrimp are the best.

Zhao Dahai crossed the beach and strode towards the reef.
