Golden Fishing Village

Lu Zhichao came to him to explain to him that during the Spring Festival this year, the town would organize a boat lantern activity. At that time, the activity would go to the countryside and perform in villages, so that Longtou Village would be ready to cooperate.

The village would naturally respond to this kind of policy, and Ao Muyang reassured him that he would be well prepared.

After returning from offshore fishing and resting for two or three days, the village has to organize fishing boats to go out to sea again.

Ao Muyang didn't want to go to the sea anymore, he wanted to stay at home and Maodong.

He has this capital, but other fishermen cannot. Winter fishing has always been a good opportunity for fishermen to increase their income. How many fishing boats will seize the time to go to sea during this period of time before the year, no matter how cold it is? As long as there is no storm coming, we have to work.

This is the case at Hongyang Wharf, where ships and boats are connected to each other, and there are countless fishing boats coming in and out every day.

Ao Daguo led many fishermen in the village to the big dragon head and was about to pull anchor and set sail.

Ao Muyang went to the dock to see him off. Seeing the fishermen putting on their cotton-padded clothes and getting on the boat, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's been freezing cold these days. It's probably going to snow again. Can't you just stay at home?"

"Yes, but if we stay at home, who will send the money?" Ao Daguo sniffed and said.

Ao Muyang asked: "Is life still hard now?"

Ao Daguo chuckled: "It's not bitter, but who would think it's too much money? Going to sea means suffering, but aren't we born just to suffer? And now that suffering can be exchanged for money, it's worth it. !”

The village is used to living a hard life, and now everyone is striving for a better life, but the sense of crisis is still there. How can they be idle when such a big ship as the Dalongtou is available?

You must know that in the past, there were no large fishing boats that could withstand wind and waves in the village, so they had to work on other people's boats. When working, they had to listen to the boss of the boat. The work was tiring and intensive, and they earned less. Compared to sailing their own boats. It's much more comfortable to go to sea.

Ao Muyang was not on the big dragon's list, but he did not stay at home either. Instead, he drove Ao Daguo's small fishing boat out to sea and drove along the seaside in search of winter vegetables.

Winter vegetables are seaweed. The taste of seaweed varies greatly depending on the season, which leads to different names. The seaweed harvested in winter is called winter vegetables, and the seaweed harvested in spring is called spring vegetables.

The taste of seaweed harvested in different seasons is also different. In winter, the seaweed has the least amount, the leaves that grow are short, red-purple in color, and have the most umami flavor, which is unmatched by those harvested in other seasons.

The seaweed produced by Hongyang in winter is nicknamed Heibaocai, because the darker the seaweed in this season, the stronger the flavor and the more precious it is. In the past, when chicken essence and MSG were not popular, Heibaocai was the natural MSG used in cooking. Sometimes you can tear off a few pieces and put them in the vegetable soup. It will add a lot of umami flavor to both the vegetable and the soup.

In spring, when everything revives, more seaweed is produced than in winter, and the leaves are thick, wicker-like, green in color, and not as tasty.

Therefore, if you want to get good seaweed throughout the year, you have to search for it in winter.

He packed up his things and got on the boat to leave. He saw Ao Xiaojun, Ao Xiaoniu and a group of teenagers digging for winter crabs on the beach. So he waved and said, "Uncle Xiaoyang is going to find winter vegetables. He is short of people." Don’t you want to come here to work?”

Ao Xiaojun said with interest: "Okay, let's experience what it's like to work in society in advance. It's good. How much does it cost?"

Ao Muyang said: "Uncle Xiaoyang is generous and gives one hundred yuan to each person."

Ao Xiaoniu nodded and said, "Yes, it's a lot."

Ao Luhan winked at him and said, "Isn't that a lot? Uncle Xiaoyang, this is called hiring child labor. It is illegal. It is risky for us to work for him, so the price is not appropriate. Two hundred per person." Bar."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "What Xiaojun said just now is right. I want you to experience the feeling of entering society in advance. Therefore, I represent the capitalists now. Do you understand? Ninety yuan per person, just do what you like. Do it, don’t do it.”

Ao Luhan still wanted to argue, but Ao Muyang waved his finger and said, "I'm holding on to time, and if I delay it for one minute, I'll get ten yuan off."

The teenagers suddenly lost their temper: "Let's do it, let's do it. One hundred yuan is one hundred yuan."

"Wrong, it's ninety yuan." Ao Muyang chuckled.

There is a reason why he hired young men to work. It is almost the beginning of spring during the Chinese New Year. The material of seaweed is essentially different before and after the beginning of spring. Once spring begins, they will grow vigorously under the influence of spring air, and their umami taste will be very poor. .

It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the Laba Festival had already passed, so there were only a few days left for him to fish for winter vegetables.

"The seaweed glows with the clumps of quilt, the green moss is ground up, the stone sails cover the island, and the duckweed comes out and swims in time..."

As written in "Jiang Fu", one of the representative works of Cifu by Guo Pu, a famous scholar and writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to find good seaweed, you have to go to inaccessible islands and reefs. Seaweed can grow on reefs and in sea water. Among them, seaweed can grow in sea water. Sometimes they will drift with the tide and eventually concentrate on the rocks. In this way, the more turbulent the intertidal zone, the greater the chance of encountering seaweed.

The fishing boat was driving close to the seaside, and Ao Muyang looked around with a telescope, looking for some reef areas that no one usually noticed.

After the boat arrived at the mangrove area, there were many rocks and strong currents. You can usually find seaweed here, but not only he knew this, but others also knew it, so when he arrived in this area, he took a look and found the rocks. All the seaweed on the table has been picked up.

Ao Xiaojun has been running wild on the beach since he was a child. He grew up purely barbaric. He provided a place for Ao Muyang, right where Dalong Mountain rises from the coast. Due to the terrain, the waves are the strongest and the least people go there.

Sure enough, after the fishing boat passed by, Ao Muyang looked through the telescope and saw the uneven and continuous reefs on the seashore, which were black in color and covered with seaweed.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang was overjoyed. He snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, Xiaojun, you have made a contribution. Each of you friends has received a reward of 50 yuan. Let's pick winter vegetables here today."

Looking at the surging waves, Ao Luhan, who usually goes to school in the city, was a little scared and said, "The waves here are a bit fierce. Is it so dangerous?"

Ao Muyang said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xiaoyang is here. As long as you are not killed or injured by the rocks after being hit by the waves, Uncle Xiaoyang can rescue you!"

"Fuck, do you have to say it so scary!" This time, not only Ao Luhan was afraid, but also Ao Xiaomi and other children were afraid.

That being said, Ao Muyang did not dare to let them take risks in the intertidal zone, but asked them to tie their shoelaces and go up the reef to pick seaweed from the reef.

Some seaweeds were growing on the reefs, and some were rolling in the seawater. Ao Muyang went to the water to pick up seaweeds.

Seeing him put on a water handle and go down, several children's eyes jumped: "Uncle Xiaoyang, this is so dangerous." "Yes, and it's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing your eggs? Teacher Lu is not pregnant yet."
