Golden Fishing Village

The two ships, Longtou and Dalongtou, cast their nets widely in the North Pacific, catching not only giant octopus, cod, salmon, horse mackerel, etc., but also other fish, such as Spanish mackerel, pollack, roundfin fish, various squids, etc.

The harvest of these fish was not large, and many of them were caught by the way when fishing for salmon and cod. They were not worth giving to Lu Hu to sell, so Ao Muyang directly sold them to the fishing family in the village.

The village could not digest too many fish at once. After all, the weather was cold at this time, there was no scenery on the mountain, the sea was windy and humid, and tourism entered the off-season, so the demand for seafood was small.

So, every household started to dry fish jerky.

After Ao Muyang came back, he rested for two days. During these two days, he mainly stayed in bed. He spent too much time drifting on the boat and couldn't sleep well at all. It would be better for him to stay in the sea.

The young man was strong, and he became vigorous again after recovering.

This is not comparable to the general and the brothers of the Lang family. The three of them are vigorous even on the boat.

Hongyang has been dry for more than half a year. The weather conditions have improved since winter. It has snowed twice in less than a month since they went to sea.

Ao Muyang went out to look at the back mountain. There was still snow on the mountain. The morning wind blew over, rolling up layers of fine snow. When the morning sun shone, there was a kind of hazy beauty.

"Hometown is still good." He took a deep breath. Hmm, it smelled fishy.

The fishy smell in the air came from fish fry. Every household had a drying stick erected in the yard, on which fish fry were either hung directly or with fishing nets, and fish fry were placed on the fishing nets.

Lu Zhizi was still sleeping in. Ao Muyang was too lazy to make breakfast, so he strolled to Song Qiumin's house to eat buns and porridge.

When he walked over, Ao Xiaoniu was busy propping up the drying poles at the door and hanging the fish jerky from his home on them.

Ao Muyang took a quick look and said, "Hey, Xiaoniu, you have a lot of dried fish jerky this year?"

Yellow croakers, golden pomfret, silver pomfret, eel, croaker, horsehead fish, yellow croaker, white croaker, and even octopus and squid. There were indeed enough species to make people dazzled.

Ao Xiaoniu grinned when he saw him: "Well, my mother is going to try to make dumplings with fish jerky, so she dried a lot."

Hearing this, Lao Ao was really shocked: "What? Fish jerky as bun filling? Can this work?"

Ao Xiaoniu shook his head and said: "Of course not, I'm kidding you. By the way, Uncle Xiaoyang, you are here for breakfast, right?"

Ao Muyang gave him a brain-shattering and said: "You are so bold to tease your Uncle Xiaoyang. Yes, I am here for breakfast, go get me some meat buns and tofu brain, forget it, drink porridge, buns are better with porridge."

Ao Xiaoniu took him into the bedroom, first helped him turn on the TV, and then quickly brought in a plate of buns and a large bowl of millet porridge.

When he put down the plate, he asked in a nonchalant tone: "By the way, Uncle Xiaoyang, isn't Xiaozhu coming to the village during the holiday?"

Ao Muyang glanced at him and realized that he was already a big boy.

In his heart, Ao Xiaoniu was still the skinny kid who asked him where he caught the cobia when he just came home. In fact, he had grown up, from a primary school student to a middle school student who was about to enter the third year of junior high school.

In addition to growing taller and stronger, his mentality also began to mature.

Time is fleeting, and he sighed subconsciously in his heart.

Poor Ao Xiaoniu was still waiting for his reply. Seeing that he didn't speak, he was a little anxious, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he could only stare at Ao Muyang eagerly.

Ao Muyang came back to his senses and smiled: "Oh, piglet, which one are you asking about? There are many small fragrant pigs in the village. Aren't they always in the village?"

When he came home the day before yesterday, he saw two fragrant pig bacon hanging in the backyard. It was obviously the work of La Zhong. The fragrant pigs that had been raised for half a year can now be eaten.

Ao Xiaoniu knew that he was teased by him, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurried out in embarrassment.

Ao Muyang chuckled and said loudly: "Xiao Niu, are you missing the piglets?"

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." Ao Xiaoniu quickly turned around and waved his hand.

Ao Muyang said with regret: "The little fragrant piglets are so delicious, you don't miss them? Uncle Xiaoyang is going to kill a few pigs for a pig-killing dinner these two days. I'm going to invite Mr. Yan to come, you're not going?"

After hearing this, Ao Xiaoniu, who was about to run away, stopped again. He hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Well, if Mr. Yan comes, will Zhu Zhu come? Oh, and Sixth Sister, will Sixth Sister come too?"

Ao Muyang said: "She should come, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll go to eat too." After saying this, Ao Xiaoniu left.

After eating, Ao Muyang took a breakfast home. He saw that there were many people drying fish in the village, and his heart warmed up. After Lu Zhizi got up, he also started to dry fish.

He took out the drying sticks for drying fish, tied them up with iron bars and ropes, propped them up on the ground, and then he had to go and pick up the fresh fish.

Since ancient times, fishermen have had a special feeling for fish. Many families like to dry fish, not only because fish tastes good, but also because when the whole yard is covered with fish, people will have a sense of satisfaction, the satisfaction of harvest after labor.

Ao Muyang watched his parents drying fish since he was a child. He also dried it last year and was already familiar with it.

In fact, the technology of drying fish is very simple. Fresh sea fish is simply marinated and then cut open, and exposed to the sun for two to three days to become delicious.

Drying dried fish is usually done in late autumn, because dried fish cannot be placed in the sun. Too strong light and high temperature will cause the fish meat to deteriorate. If it is exposed to strong light, the outer layer of the dried fish will dry quickly, but the inside is still rich in moisture, which makes it difficult to preserve.

Therefore, dried fish are mostly dried in the cool shade, and the method of drying in the shade is adopted.

Ao Muyang chose to dry the dried fish now, so there is no need to dry it in the shade. Now the sunlight is weak and the temperature is low, and the cold north wind can also blow out good dried fish.

Coincidentally, he just sorted out some fish and then received a call from the city TV station.

The Agricultural Science Channel of CCTV had come to the village to do a program before, which was well received after the broadcast. The fisherman's video released by Jiang Xue, Su Chenglong and others through self-media has set off a heated discussion on the Internet about marine seafood and fishery fishermen.

The city TV station had an idea and wanted to create a related program to record the tradition of fishermen and show marine food.

The recording of the fishing tradition has been completed. The program team cooperated with the town government, and both sides got what they needed, so the production process was very smooth.

Now the program has filmed the stall about marine food. At this time, the town government can't provide help, so the secretary introduced Longtouhao and Ao Muyang, and the TV station contacted him.

After receiving the call, Ao Muyang was overjoyed. This is really a coincidence and it's great!
