Golden Fishing Village

At midnight, we bid farewell to the old and ushered in the new.

The new year has begun again.

The village prepared a lot of fireworks and firecrackers. When the host of the Spring Festival Gala began to count down, the small square in front of the village committee office began to set off fireworks.

The villagers have figured out the tourists' minds anyway. No matter what festival it is, they just need to set off fireworks.

This time, they bought a lot of fireworks, with a total value of more than 400,000 yuan, but the time of setting off was not long, only more than ten minutes.

With so much money spent in a limited time, the fireworks were naturally gorgeous and amazing, almost dazzling the tourists' mobile phone cameras!

According to custom, people with relatives in the village began to pay New Year's greetings on the morning of the first day of the new year. Ao Muyang received New Year's greetings calls from midnight. As he became the vice president of the Fisheries Association and the captain of the ocean fishing fleet, his status became higher and higher.

The people in the fleet made money with him and realized the power he possessed. They rushed to show their goodwill to him. The New Year's greetings came in one after another. Many people called more than ten times before they called in...

Lu Wuyi was jealous and sighed to Heilong, Zhong Cang and others: "A real man should be like this."

Lao Ao had nothing to say about this. He wanted to tell everyone that he really didn't want to answer these calls and didn't want to have such connections, but he knew it was useless to say it. If he said it, others would think he was pretending.

In this way, he could only hold the phone in his hand and watch the crowd disperse. Others could go back to sleep, and he had to continue to answer the phone.

Fortunately, when his phone finally stopped ringing and he could go back to the bedroom, he saw Yan Qingcheng still holding the phone and forcing a smile. This was really a forced smile.

The whole first month of the year was the same old routine. On the first day of the first month, everyone greeted each other, and on the second day of the first month, it would be the beginning of spring.

Among the 24 solar terms in a year, Lichun ranks first. It has a unique status in farmers and fishermen. The locals in Hongyang attach great importance to this solar term.

From the beginning of Lichun, even if the weather is still cold, people feel different in their hearts, thinking that spring is coming and the weather will start to warm up.

According to Hongyang customs, Lichun has three signs. The first sign is the thawing of the east wind, the second sign is the beginning of the vibration of stinging insects, and the third sign is the fish carrying ice.

Ao Muyang has read some information and research believes that this statement comes from the Ming Dynasty, when the earth encountered a small ice age, freezing for years, agricultural production decreased, and the temperature dropped sharply in various parts of China.

It was also at that time that the rivers and lakes in the Hongyang area would freeze every winter, and there was a saying of the three signs of Lichun. However, in the past ten years, due to the impact of global warming, the winter in Hongyang, which is considered the dividing line between the north and the south, is no longer very cold, and there is no freezing, so the solar term of Lichun has no flavor.

The climate this winter is special. Cold currents come one after another, causing many rivers and lakes to freeze. When the cold currents disappear during the New Year, the temperature quickly warms up, so the beginning of spring has a bit of shape.

The rivers and lakes are still frozen, and the ice in some places has broken, so the first phase of the beginning of spring, the east wind, has come true.

There has been no such weather for many years, and the tourists who came to celebrate the New Year have not left yet, so the village is very lively. This year's beginning of spring has been taken more seriously, and every household treats it as a festival.

The rules of the beginning of spring were picked up, and Ao Muyang didn't remember them. Fortunately, Ao Zhibing remembered them in his heart. When he asked, he introduced them to him one by one:

"First, you can't fight or quarrel; second, you must be careful when cooking and washing dishes, and you can't break things. This is called 'ensuring a good beginning of spring and a good year'."

"Also, neighbors can't borrow things from each other on such a day, and don't give unwanted things to others; don't touch some dirty things, clean up the trash cans first, and don't throw garbage out..."

An old man in the family is like a treasure. Ao Zhibing introduced the rules, and Ao Muyang asked everyone to remember them in their hearts, and they must not let down today.

Ao Zhibing said to him: "There are no cows in the village now. In the past, the village collective raised cows. When the beginning of spring came, they had to whip the cows' butts three times, which meant that spring had come and everyone had to work, and the cows could no longer be lazy."

Ao Muyang said: "Then don't worry about it. There are no cows in our village, right? How about I go to the sea and whip the whales a few times to make them more diligent and perform more?"

Ao Zhibing was amused by this and said: "Then go ahead and let everyone see the scene."

They were chatting when Ao Xiaoniu came to the door with a basket: "Uncle Xiaoyang, have you had breakfast? My mother didn't make buns this morning, but made a lot of spring rolls. Let me bring you some spring rolls."

Many places have the custom of biting spring and eating radishes. Hongyang is more unique and has similar customs, but they don't eat radishes, but spring rolls.

This is more direct. Everyone bites spring rolls and eats them. If you are particular, you can pair them with spring vegetables - a kind of vegetable of the lettuce family. Spring vegetables dipped in soybean paste is a pretty good dish to go with rice.

Ao Muyang's family doesn't eat this kind of vegetable with big green leaves. He caught a lot of seaweed before the New Year and dried it. He had nothing to do in the morning so he prepared to roast the seaweed.

The seaweed caught after the beginning of spring is called spring vegetables in the local area. When the time comes, roast some seaweed and add white sesame seeds to make a side dish. This side dish tastes very fresh and can be eaten with rice, steamed buns, or even spring rolls.

When he went out to send Ao Xiaoniu home, he saw Ao Mudong walking leisurely on the street.

Seeing this, he asked, "Brother Dong, are you out for a walk? You walk like a fool."

Ao Mudong snorted, "No, I'm out walking the dog. A few years ago, my family received a group of tourists. At that time, they brought a dog. I guess they got tired of raising it, so they ran away secretly and left the dog at my house."

Ao Muyang said, "What dog?"

Ao Mudong sighed and said, "Samoyed, a silly dog, is good at destroying the house and chewing shoes."

Ao Muyang said, "If you don't want to raise it, just give it away. I know Samoyed, a smiling angel? It's very beautiful, and there are many people who like it."

Ao Mudong sighed again, shook his head and said, "No, my wife likes dogs, don't you know? Koreans like dogs, they like them very much."

"How much?"

"Let's put it this way, they feel uncomfortable if they don't eat dog meat for one of their three meals a day."

Ao Muyang was shocked: "Fuck, then you raise this dog to prepare..."

Ao Mudong shook his head and said, "You think too much, it's just that it looks good, so you raise it for fun, wait a minute, I'll call it over for you to see, it's really beautiful."

After that, he whistled loudly, but nothing happened.

Facing Ao Muyang's puzzled expression, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Fuck him, this dog is a little stupid, wait a minute."
