Golden Fishing Village

Time has entered the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, and every household is preparing for the Chinese New Year.

After a year of hard work, fishermen can take a break a few days before and after the Chinese New Year. In the past, many fishermen went to work on ocean-going ships, and only during the Chinese New Year could they go home to reunite with their families, so fishermen attach great importance to the Chinese New Year.

After drinking Laba porridge, many families began to hang lanterns at the door and red pepper strings on the doors and windows. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, elementary and junior high schools began to have winter vacations one after another. The village became lively with more children, and firecrackers were heard from time to time, all of which were children playing.

Ao Muyang found that there were fewer children playing outside this year. He asked around and found that they were all at home watching TV or playing games on the computer.

This was not okay, so he shouted in the village that children should not be addicted to computer games or watch TV all the time, otherwise their eyes would become myopic.

He told the villagers: "Our fishing children must pay attention to protecting their eyes. If they are nearsighted, they have to wear glasses. If they have a promising future, they can work in an office. But if they can't work in an office, it will be troublesome to wear glasses. They can't go out to sea. The ship is so bumpy on the sea. Will it be convenient for you to wear glasses?"

Most parents are still quite confident in their children: "It won't be a problem to let the children go to work in the office in the future?"

Ao Muyang said: "It will definitely not be a problem. There are many jobs now, but working in Hongyang only pays four or five thousand yuan a month. They have to buy a house and support their families. I guess this money is not enough. As for the money they have to use to support you? That's even less."

Hearing this, the parents went back and started to drive them away. Some cut off the Internet, hid the network cable, and cut off the TV signal. In short, they had to let the children go out to play.

Now the fishermen's life is better. Going out to sea with Ao Muyang can earn at least 20,000 yuan a month. Ao Daguo and Ao Mudong, who are close friends, can get 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a month. A fishing home in the village can also earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month or even more. They no longer care about the money they earn from working.

After the children in the village learned the inside story, they wanted to join forces to smash the glass of Ao Muyang's house. As a result, Lao Ao was on guard. There was a dog house behind the door and a wolf behind the house, so the children couldn't get close.

As a result, when the village became lively, there was another gain.

With the arrival of the winter vacation, the tourism business began to boom again. Many people brought their children to the fishing village for vacation. Some schools in Hongyang City also recommended students to go to Longtou Village to see whales, dolphins and manatees as a social activity.

When parents brought their children to Longtou Village, they saw that the village was so lively, and every household was preparing for the New Year early. The New Year atmosphere was so early, which made some people tempted.

Ao Mufeng came to Ao Muyang and said, "Village chief, do you want to organize some activities in the village this year? We have received orders for more than ten tables. Tourists will celebrate the New Year at my house. They say that we have the New Year atmosphere here, unlike the city where it is so deserted."

Ao Muyang asked, "Are they ordering New Year's Eve dinner? How much is it per table?"

Ao Mufeng smiled and said, "The price has increased by 50%. I set it based on the price increase standard of New Year's Eve dinner in the city. The price of New Year's Eve dinner in the city has doubled, and some have even tripled. It's really cruel."

Ao Muyang thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, Then let me think about it. "

Ao Mufeng also pondered and said, "Village chief, should I raise the price a little more?"

Ao Muyang said, "You decide. This year is the first time your family has hosted the New Year's Eve dinner. If it goes well, your family can make a lot of money every New Year in the future. If it doesn't work out, it's just killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, just this time."

Hearing him say this, Ao Mufeng said, "Okay, then I know. In fact, raising the price by half is also very profitable, and there are also accommodation fees and so on, so it's not a loss."

Starting from Ao Mufeng's fishing home, other fishing homes in the village also received New Year's Eve dinner orders. Most of the orders were placed by residents of Hongyang City. One table was a family. They brought their families, from the elderly on both sides to the children, to the fishing village to celebrate the New Year together.

In this way, the golden hook shrimps dried in the fishing home do not need to be sent to the market for sale. There are many tourists coming and going, and tourists can consume a lot of golden hook shrimps.

Buying too much is not a good thing, and disputes soon arose.

That day, Ao Muyang was discussing the plan of going out to sea with Ao Daguo, when a phone call came in urgently. There was a problem with a fishing home owned by an owner named Ao Qianxi.

Ao Muyang and Ao Daguo hurried over. Many people gathered at the entrance of the fishing home, all folding their arms to watch the fun.

Ao Qianxi's fishing home is called Qianxijia. Like other families, his family has a small table at the door, on which some dried seafood is placed, such as self-roasted dried fish fillets, self-dried fish, and of course, golden hook shrimp.

This time the problem was with the golden hook shrimp. A middle-aged man with a clean complexion got angry at Ao Qianxi and his wife: "Aren't you cheating me? I asked you how much it was, and you said 35. I thought it was 35 per catty, but when I paid the bill, you said 35 per ounce? Isn't this the way he sells cakes? You are liars!"

Ao Qianxi is Ao Mudong's second uncle. Ao Mudong is big and has a hot temper. Ao Qianxi has a similar image and temper.

The man spoke rudely, and Ao Qianxi got angry. He pointed at the man and said sternly: "Who is a liar? Who are you calling a liar? Damn, 35 per catty of shrimp, and this is the real golden hook shrimp, are you dreaming? You can't buy it so cheap even if you dream!"

Both sides started arguing, one accused the other of being a liar, and the other accused the other of looking for trouble.

Ao Muyang saw a tourist recording a video with his mobile phone, so he walked in quickly and pushed Ao Qianxi away and said, "Uncle Qianxi, what are you doing? Can't you just say it nicely? Why are you losing your temper?"

Ao Qianxi suppressed his anger when he saw him, and said, "This bastard is looking for trouble. Who doesn't know that golden hook shrimps are sold by pound? Not to mention our village, even the market is like this. He came up and asked for two kilograms..."

Ao Muyang interrupted him and said, "Okay, Uncle Qianxi, this is a misunderstanding. Don't get angry first. I'll handle this matter."

Ao Qianxi snorted and squatted on the ground smoking fiercely.

Ao Muyang said to the fair-skinned man, "Sir, this is a misunderstanding. The price of golden hook shrimp is 35 yuan per tael and 350 yuan per catty. We clearly mark the price. If you think it is too expensive, you can refuse to buy it. We are not selling chegao, and we are not forcing people to buy or sell."

Longtou Village has a good reputation among tourists. Ao Muyang has always attached great importance to this. At this time, the reputation came into play. Many tourists who were watching the excitement spoke for the village:

"Oh, it's just a misunderstanding. Brother, you didn't ask clearly. They are 35 yuan per tael. They are the same to everyone."

"Just don't buy it. What's there to argue about? Just like the village chief said, it's not forced buying or selling."

"Okay, okay, let's go, nothing to do."

The fair-skinned man heard the people around him say this, but he refused to give up. Instead, he became more angry: "What if we don't force people to buy or sell? 35 yuan per tael, isn't this a rip-off?"
