Golden Fishing Village

The fishing net is supported by bamboo poles. Someone is responsible for pulling the bamboo poles. Ao Muyang leads people to drag the net. When a fishing pole is pulled up, a section of the fishing net is dragged to the shore.

The tourists on the beach are indeed attracted. Ao Muyang waved and said, "Come and trawl the net. When the catch comes up, everyone who sees it will have a share."

After hearing this, several men and women began to pull the net.

Someone in the village was holding a SLR camera to take pictures, long-range, close-up, background blur, etc., all kinds of shooting techniques.

A young woman smiled and asked, "Handsome village head, will these photos you take be printed later?"

Ao Muyang said, "We don't have washing equipment in our village, so we can't print them."

"How do we sell the negatives? How much does one of our negatives cost?" The young woman continued to ask.

Ao Muyang shook his hair and said, "It's free. When you have time, go to the computer in the village committee office to copy it yourself, but your USB flash drive must not have viruses."

Hearing that the photos taken are free, the group of people trawled the net with three times more strength.

The young woman said sincerely: "Handsome man, the service in your village is really authentic. I have been to many tourist attractions at home and abroad, and this is the only one where the locals provide free photography services."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "We must provide good services, otherwise there will be no tourists if we have a bad reputation."

"That's right, gold and silver cups are not as good as word of mouth." Ao Qianwen, who was directing the pulling of the net, said in cooperation.

Bamboo poles were pulled up one by one, and sections of fishing nets were pulled up. At first, it was very easy. When the fishing nets were dragged up for more than 200 meters, everyone gradually began to feel tired.

The flat and delicate beach was covered with footprints, and a series of footprints crisscrossed. The tide rushed up and fell back, sometimes flattening some footprints, and sometimes just leaving a pool of sea water to fill the footprints.

A child who followed his parents to pull the net suddenly shouted: "Dad, Mom, look, there is a fish in the footprints!"

The child stopped pulling the net and squatted in the puddle of big footprints and stared at the small fish.

Another tide surged up, and the child reached out and took the small fish out, saying, "Go, follow the sea water to find your father and mother."

Looking at the child's childishness, Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Little friend, uncle will give you a big fish later!"

There is no shortage of big fish in the fishing nets that have been pulled up. The biological resources in the intertidal zone near the coast are abundant, with fish, shrimps and crabs. Some people even found a starfish. Several tourists saw a live starfish for the first time and were very happy for a while.

Of course, there are seaweed and water plants in the nets. Fortunately, the seaside environment is well protected. Ao Muyang has been paying attention to the fishing nets that have been pulled up, and no garbage such as plastic bags and plastic bottles has been found.

When all the bamboo poles were pulled out and the long fishing nets were also collected, the next step is to divide the catch.

Taking the catch out of the fishing net is a technical job. After being caught, fish, shrimps and crabs will not wait to be put into the pot honestly. They struggle with all their strength. If they struggle properly, they can escape. If they struggle improperly, they will be more seriously bound in the fishing nets, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

These ground nets are of no value, so Ao Muyang doesn't care if they are torn into pieces. Tourists will take whatever fish they like, it doesn't matter.

There are so many fish, shrimps and crabs in the fishing nets. The small fish that are still alive are picked up and thrown back into the sea, while the big fish, shrimps and crabs are collected.

From afternoon to evening, the beach is very lively. Tourists will not return empty-handed as long as they come to the beach. Even tourists living in other villages come to pick up fish.

The fishing nets were cleaned up, and in the end, there were 15 foam boxes filled with ice cubes, fish, shrimps and crabs, fresh and alive!

A tourist came to Ao Muyang with a fish and asked, "Handsome man, why are there carps in your fishing nets? There are carps in the sea?"

Ao Muyang took a look and said, "This is not a carp, this is a blackfish, also called mullet."

"I know mullet, isn't it a freshwater fish?" The person next to him asked with interest.

Ao Muyang explained: "You are right, but it is not comprehensive. Mullets are amazing. They can live in fresh water, brackish water and salt water. They like to live in coastal areas, bays and river estuaries. We caught quite a few mullets today."

Mullets in the sea are more precious than mullets farmed in freshwater. At this time, their stomachs are full of fish roe, which is the famous mullet roe.

There is no craze for eating mullet roe in Hongyang, because there are not many mullets in Hongyang Bay, and the annual catch is not large. In the summer, a group of mullets were attracted to the sea outside Longtou Village, so we can catch some today.

The people who like to eat mullet roe are Wanwan. After the winter solstice every year, mullets will migrate from the north to the Wanwan Strait. At this time, many fishing boats will go out to sea to catch mullets for fish roe.

Ao Muyang specifically pointed out to the tourists that the fish roe was very precious, but he knew that the fishing houses in the village could not do such delicate work as grilling fish roe, so he told the tourists that it could be fried and eaten, and it tasted good when stir-fried with chili peppers.

The real way to eat mullet roe is to fry and grill it, which is similar to high-end ingredients such as matsutake mushrooms and wagyu beef. Just simple frying and grilling can bring out the sweetness hidden in the mullet roe.

But if you want to fry and grill it, you have to salt and dry the mullet roe, and you can't eat it fresh.

Ao Muyang picked a few mullet with bulging bellies and took them back. He slaughtered the fish in the evening, dug out the fish roe and bled it, and asked Tu Yishao to help marinate it.

Tu Yishao was busy at this time. The resort was full and the restaurant had to provide three meals a day. He, the head of the kitchen, couldn't leave for a while.

He told Ao Muyang on the phone that he could just take out the roe, wash it and dry it, and he would help deal with it after he was done.

The mullet with the roe removed was cooked for dinner. Ao Muyang still made grilled fish, smeared oil on the fish, put it on the oven and grilled it on both sides. When the fish skin was baked to a golden brown, the grilled fish was ready.

The mullet meat was tender and had its own freshness after being grilled. Because it was a sea fish, it had salt in its body, so no salt was needed. It could be eaten directly after being grilled, and it was as delicious as saury.

At half past nine, Wolf Two howled at the door.

Ao Muyang knew that Tu Yishao had come, so he went out to greet him.

Tu Yichan waved at Wolf Two: "Go away, you untameable wolf cub, go away, there is no meat, no bones, nothing, how many times have I fed you before? You will bite me when you get the chance?"

Ao Muyang asked: "Why do you have time so late?"

"Alas," Tu Yichan sighed first, then murmured: "I was raped by Work."

Ao Muyang asked in surprise: "Who is Work? Did you call the police? Arrest him!"

Tu Yichan said unhappily: "Don't come on, don't I work for you? Isn't this the job you gave me?"

Ao Muyang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Then you have to know how to be grateful, work hard, and maintain your position as the boss of the resort."

Since Master Sun brought his disciples into the resort to make puffer fish banquets, he has been responsible for high-end cuisine.

Master Sun is a famous chef, and he is really good at cooking. Now he is very famous in the resort, and many diners come for his sign.
