Golden Fishing Village

The freshly caught prawns are especially suitable for making raw prawn slices. After cleaning, remove the prawn thread, peel and cut into slices with a sharp knife. They are crystal clear, fresh and without fishy smell.

But Chinese people are not very interested in eating like this. Ao Muyang used another rare processing method, which is roasting.

After lighting the stove, pierce the prawns with bamboo sticks and slowly roast them on the charcoal fire. The prawn skin quickly turns red, and juice flows out along the cracks of the shell. When it drips on the smokeless charcoal, it immediately turns into a white smoke, and the freshness it brings rushes into people's noses.

The roasted prawns don't need any seasoning. He peeled the shells for Lu Zhizi and said, "Try it with your lips. Eat it while it's hot. Eat it while it's hot."

He peeled one for himself. After roasting, the shrimp meat shrank but was still twelve or thirteen centimeters long, just like an ice cream, which was very satisfying to bite.

Roasted shrimp meat is more tender than steamed shrimp meat. When you chew it in your mouth, the shrimp juice will bubble everywhere. Only at this time can you fully appreciate the freshness of seafood!

Lu Wuyi ate five large shrimps while blowing air, which can be sold for five or six hundred yuan in the market.

However, the fish and shrimp resources in the coastal area are scarce. They wanted to catch garji fish in the shallow sea, but they didn't encounter this fish that day, nor did they catch many other fish species. The only valuable ones were two nets of large shrimps. In addition, some golden pomfret and silver pomfret were harvested as usual, which could be exchanged for some money.

At night, the fishing boat dropped anchor, and Ao Muyang deliberately found a sea area where a warm current passed to anchor. The sea is cold in winter, and red snapper is a warm-temperate fish species. They will swim in pursuit of the warm current.

The wind blew, the waves hit, and lights floated on the sea from time to time.

The weather was clear, and the strong wind during the day blew away the clouds on the sea, revealing a sky full of stars.

The deck of the Big Dragon Head was made of steel. Ao Muyang placed a windproof stove on it. After putting firewood in it, billowing flames floated along the stove wall, and steam rose up.

Everyone gathered together to keep warm, and someone said, "Teacher Lu, is this your first time to spend the night at sea? How is the sea view?"

Lu Zhizi smiled and said, "Very good, very beautiful."

Ao Mudong handed out small wine bottles to several people and said, "What's so beautiful about this? The waves are rolling, the cold wind is howling, how uncomfortable it is? It's still best to stay at home!"

"That's right, what's here? It's pitch black at night, with only a few stars above your head, which is not exciting."

Lu Zhizi shook her head and pointed to a few flickering lights in the distance and said, "Aren't there fishing lights?"

She pondered for a moment and said, "The moon is dark and the waves are rolling in the vast river. The boat is tied to the willows. The fishing nets are across the river, the lights are noisy, and the red shadows are shining, clearly the boats are startled by the return of the boats from the Red Cliff. The wind is calm and the clouds are gathering, and the sky seems to be swept. I dream that I am in Sanshan Island. When will the fame and fortune of the world end? Since I fell drunk, the red sun on the rudder tower is dawning on the thousands of rocks."

This is an uncommon poem. Ao Muyang has never heard of it, let alone others?

But Lu Zhizi often recited poems with children, and his pronunciation was very clear, and his pronunciation was full of rhythm. The rough people still felt the artistic conception of the lyrics.

After drinking a sip of sorghum wine, Ao Mudong said: "If I have a child in the future, I will definitely send him to study with Teacher Lu. Whatever a cultured person says sounds good."

"Be careful that you become the second Ao Mukang." Ao Daguo laughed.

Ao Mukang and his son Ao Xiaojun competed with each other in the village every day. When they went out to sea, the couple chased and beat their son.

Ao Muyang asked about it. It was Ao Mukang and his wife who had a quarrel. Ao Mukang's wife wanted to beat him. He suddenly had an idea and played a mushy trick, saying that if you hit me, your hand would hurt, and I felt bad. Ao Mukang's wife laughed after hearing this.

The quarrel should have ended there, but Ao Xiaojun found a rolling pin and a broom and handed them to his parents, saying, "This way, neither of you will have any pain in your hands." The couple then chased Ao Xiaojun with the rolling pin and broom...

At night, Ao Muyang put a fishhook on the boat. This is an old rule. Night fishing often catches big fish. Putting a fishhook is a matter of luck, but the night watchers have nothing to do anyway, so they just watch the fishhook.

In addition, the night watchers have to keep throwing shrimps, minced meat and bread crumbs into the water under the boat, which are all food for red sea bream, to attract sea bream to come closer.

Ao Muyang was sleeping, and then someone knocked on the door outside.

He asked sleepily, "Who is it?"

Ao Mupeng's voice came from outside: "Dragon head, come and see, we have caught a salted fish!"

Hearing this, Ao Muyang turned over and pushed open the door to go out.

As soon as the hatch opened, a cold wind blew in his face, pushing him back abruptly, forcing him to take off his down jacket on the boat.

When he went to the stern, he saw two big fish jumping on the boat.

These two fish have flat bodies and are long and oval. They look round-headed, round-headed, and round-bodied. The scales on the surface are red in different shades, and even the fins are red. They are about half a meter tall. They are red snappers.

After catching two snappers at a time, Ao Muyang wiped his nose and said, "Call the big guys down. I'll go to the sea to check the situation and prepare to lower the fishing line!"

If nothing unexpected happens, they will encounter a school of snappers migrating in the shallow sea.

After returning to the deep sea, snappers will live in scattered groups. It is interesting to talk about this. Once red snappers form a small group, they usually form a family of 10 to 20, polygamous, and there can only be one male fish in a group.

If the male fish dies, it won't be long before the strongest female fish becomes the male fish and continues to favor other female fish in place of her husband.

In this way, if you want to catch a large number of red snappers, you have to wait until they are close to the sea. At this time, they gather in groups, males and females live together, in order to maximize the possibility of continuing their offspring.

Ao Muyang took off his coat and put on a rubber water scooter to go into the water. Lu Zhizi worriedly reminded him from behind: "You must be careful, don't be stubborn."

Going into the sea at night in winter is a life-threatening thing. There is no one else who can do this except Ao Muyang in the ten miles and eight villages.

Ao Muyang went into the water and immediately released the golden drop to call the tiger over.

When he waited for the tiger, he looked around. The water here was not too deep, only thirty or forty meters, so he could see the bottom of the sea at a glance.

But there was no trace of the red snapper school around. It should be that the school of fish passed under the boat, and two fish were greedy and caught by the fish hook. The two fish struggled and scared the school of fish away.

When he dropped anchor here, he had already measured the direction of the underwater warm current, so he gave the tiger an order, and the tiger traced the direction of the warm current and swam quickly.

Red snappers swim in the warm current, so once they are frightened and flee, they will definitely be in the warm current.

This fish swims very fast. After the tiger chased it, Ao Muyang finally saw the traces of the fish school: hundreds and thousands of red fish of all sizes swam together. Ao Wenchang was right. They were lucky this time and really encountered a school of wax fish!
