Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 14 14. Raising lobsters

In the afternoon, he rowed the sampan out to sea again, one man and one dog.

He didn't rush to catch fish and shrimp, but first floated in the sea to absorb moisture and avoid the scorching sun.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. There was no sign of rain, and the farmland in the village was very difficult to clean up.

Floating in the sea, he would neither sink nor float if he didn't move. Anyway, there was no one around, so he was not afraid that this scene would scare anyone.

The general was used to him staying underwater for a long time, and it would also swim a few laps in the water. When it was tired, it would climb onto the boat, and when it was energetic, it would go down to toss. It was a happy time for one man and one dog.

After soaking in the water for two hours leisurely, the golden elixir was a little bigger, like a big glass marble.

At this time, a trawler appeared in the distance, and Ao Muyang frowned. The boat was towing a bottom-dwelling net. Although it was not a family-destroying net, it still caused great damage to the offshore ecological environment.

However, he knew that the fishermen were unwilling to do this, but there was no other way. If they went out to sea, they had to make money, at least to earn back the oil and labor costs, otherwise how would their wives live at home? How would their children go to school?

It was not only the fishermen who really caused the collapse of the offshore ecology, but also pollution.

Hongyang is a first-tier city. Every day, I don’t know how much domestic sewage is discharged into the sea. In addition, there are a lot of factories along the coast. These industrial wastewaters are terrible!

The fishing boat dragged the net around and around. Ao Muyang looked underwater and found that they didn’t have much harvest.

However, he was lucky during this period and found a group of lobsters in a seagrass beach.

This is also a splendid lobster, but it is small, most of them are only the length of his palm, and there are forty or fifty of them.

The fishing net will be dragged in sooner or later. Ao Muyang thought about it, took the rubber band to the sea, caught them all, and put them in the bucket to raise them.

These lobsters are still small and cannot be sold at a high price. He wants to raise them himself. It is not difficult to raise a small amount of lobsters. What cannot be broken through technically now is the problem of breeding lobsters under artificial breeding.

The small shrimps are not active anymore. The surrounding seawater is polluted, making them look sick, unlike the big lobsters he caught when he was a child, which are full of life.

In addition, he caught a few white-haired fish, which is also a local economic fish species. Its scientific name is southern rudder fish. It belongs to the middle and lower layers of warm-temperate fish. It likes to live near reefs and has sharp teeth.

They are very difficult to catch because their teeth can easily bite off the rubber silk line, so they are usually caught with fishing nets.

The diet of this fish is very interesting. In the warm season, they mainly eat meat, and in the winter, they change to eating moss and seaweed. The meat is rich in nutrition.

In terms of body shape, they are slightly oval with flattened bodies, small mouths and large bodies, and the fish meat is very fat.

In addition, there are sea bass and sea crucian carp, which are the two most common fish in the coastal waters, with the most harvest and the lowest value. However, because he fished wild fish, it is worth some money.

After taking the fish and shrimp home, he first cleaned up a fish pond in the yard. This is a necessary facility for every household in the fishing village. The purpose is to temporarily raise some live fish, shrimps and crabs that have been caught, especially shrimps and crabs. Once these things die, the price will drop sharply.

He put the lobsters in and reversed the golden elixir to transfer some water vapor to them.

The golden elixir is invincible, and the sick lobsters soon bared their teeth and claws.

Ao Xiaoniu came to play and saw Ao Muyang raising lobsters, so he ran home and brought the shrimps Xiaobei that he had caught on the beach to feed the chickens to him.

Ao Muyang was moved and said, "Xiao Niu, come and raise shrimp for me during the summer vacation. You will be paid 50 yuan a day. Work hard."

Ao Xiaoniu wiped his nose and said, "No, I will eat with you..."

"Don't be stubborn!"

"Oh." The boy happily compromised.

He knew that Ao Muyang worked very hard to help his family. That evening, he went to find some tender seaweed and tore it into pieces and threw it into the pond. This is also the food that lobsters like.

In the evening, Ao Mufeng came to the door and asked, "Hey, Yangzi, have you stewed the chicken you bought yesterday? I came here to ask for information. A customer smelled your fragrance and forced me to stew it, but I can't stew it to taste good."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Bring a chicken here, I will teach you on the spot. There are tricks, but I will eat the stewed chicken myself as tuition."

Ao Mufeng said happily, "Okay, I will learn from your Kyoto chef, and a chicken is worth it."

After stewing a chicken and adding a plate of fish jelly, Ao Muyang wrapped the sea crucian carp caught in the afternoon in lotus leaves and roasted it, sprinkled cumin powder and pepper powder, and added steamed white hair fish, and it was done.

Ao Mufeng stayed to eat with a shameless face. He ate a chopstick of fish jelly and smacked his lips and said, "What a good skill. Yangzi, why don't you go to my house and work there? I'll give you a position as a chef."

Ao Muyang took a sip of beer and laughed, "I'm also a chef in a five-star hotel in Beijing."

"Then you can brag." Ao Mufeng laughed.

Under the Wanxiang tree, eating seafood and chatting in the sea breeze, Ao Muyang felt relaxed physically and mentally. He was used to the fast-paced life in Kyoto. At this time, he relaxed and felt a sense of ascension.

He got a lot of fish after coming back these few days, and the villagers saw it and had ideas.

In the past, his parents had strong fishing skills. They could catch a fish every time they went out to sea. The villagers knew that they had the ability and thought that this ability was also passed on to Ao Muyang.

So not long after the relaxed life, the village chief Ao Zhiyi came to the door.

Ao Muyang was eating breakfast, fish jelly, pickled vegetables in sauce soup and fried eggs, with a bowl of noodles.

As soon as Ao Zhiyi showed up, the general roared at him fiercely, scaring him so much that he backed away: "Hey, Yang Wa, why did you become so vicious? What should I do if I bite someone? "

"General, come back." Ao Muyang put down his chopsticks and shouted. The general glared at Ao Zhiyi unwillingly, ran back angrily and lay down at his feet.

Ao Zhiyi walked in with his hands behind his back. Ao Muyang fished him a bowl of noodles and said, "Would you like a bite, village chief?"

Most people know that this is polite and will basically refuse, but Ao Zhiyi is not polite: "Cheng, take a bite. I heard that you are working as a chef in Kyoto. I will try the dishes that people in the capital eat, and we will become people from the capital."

While eating noodles, Ao Zhiyi said his purpose: "My boat is going out to sea today, why don't you go with me? You can bring a net and a pole yourself, and do me a favor when the time comes. You can catch it It’s yours.”

Ao Muyang laughed when he heard the righteousness he said.

Although Ao Zhiyi is the village chief, he cannot convince the public at all. He is timid and greedy, which can be seen from his breakfast.

He is very stingy. Ao Muyang seems to have benefited from following his boat out to sea, but in fact he is at a disadvantage because it is useless for him to bring a fishing net. It is difficult to use a fishing net by himself, and he can only bring one fishing rod. How many can he have? reward?

He said that what he caught was his own. Ao Zhiyi would definitely not let him have the opportunity to catch it. He planned to let him work as a coolie. At the same time, he also wanted to use his ability to find fish.

Ao Muyang smiled playfully, and Ao Zhiyi felt that he was being very generous, and said: "The fuel and water bills for going out to sea are all mine. You can just follow the boat and go alone. If you live in a village, I can't be too calculating, right?" ?”

"Yes." Ao Muyang continued to laugh, "I'll go."

After receiving his promise, Ao Zhiyi ate immediately and wiped his mouth. Before leaving, he found a plastic bag to hold some fish jelly: "The fish jelly you make is delicious. You are worthy of someone who has learned the craft in the capital." , can I bring some back to give you some milk?"

What can Ao Muyang say? The general was dissatisfied and roared again when he saw him taking things away from home.

Ao Zhiyi said angrily: "How come you don't know how to feed this dog? You want me to tell you how good it would be to raise it until it is slaughtered in the winter and eat meat..."

"I won't go to your boat." Ao Muyang said lightly.

Ao Zhiyi quickly said: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, I'm doing it for your own good, you young people, hey!"

He sighed and looked depressed.
