Golden Fishing Village

There are two types of nets, called pile nets and anchor nets, the former is more common in the local area.

They acted immediately, the fishing season does not wait for anyone. After they negotiated on the way, Ao Daguo prepared tools and called Ao Muyang to go out to sea together the next day.

Ao Muyang went to the dock. According to the negotiation yesterday, he would use Ao Daguo's small diesel motor fishing boat this time, and he did not need to go out to sea with the Dragon Head.

As a result, when he arrived at the dock, he saw more than 30 people waiting for him, each with tools, obviously planning to go out to sea with him to set nets to catch fish and shrimp.

Ao Muyang looked at Ao Daguo, who smiled bitterly and said, "I shouted, but I didn't expect that the guys all wanted to go out to sea with Dragon Head, so they brought them together."

It's not that the more people you go out to sea, the better. There are only so many fish in the sea. Now it depends on luck. If the luck is the same, the fish will be the same. If there are fewer people, they will get more, and if there are more people, they will get less.

Therefore, some people who followed the boat out to sea for the first time were a little uneasy, fearing that Ao Muyang would not want to bring so many people, because for him, everyone was a burden.

Ao Muyang smiled and said kindly: "There is strength in numbers. If you are willing to go with me to make a living, I welcome it. However, I am under great pressure. I cannot guarantee how much money you can make."

Ao Jixiang, who followed the boat out to sea for the first time, said excitedly: "Dragon Head, you don't have to feel pressured. We just want to drink soup with you. Just don't drive us off the boat."

Ao Muyang patted his shoulder and said: "Call me Dragon Head for you, and I have to take you to make a living."

Cheers rang out immediately. Everyone knew that they could make money by following him out to sea.

Ao Muyang also hoped that more people would participate in the fishing net. According to the previous tradition, there must be 12 people on a fishing net boat, one is the captain, one is the boss, 6 are called fighting ropes, and 4 are called Kexifeng.

Ao Daguo went to lower the gangway board of the Dalongtou, and a group of people dragged the net and carried the piles onto the boat. After several trips, they loaded a lot of piles on the boat.

Driving piles and spreading nets, as the name suggests, requires piles to spread the fishing nets.

The piles used at sea are combined products, consisting of four parts: pile head, bucket, two convex and bamboo pole. The pile head is a sharpened bamboo, also called the two-man pile head, because it is about three and a half meters long, similar to the height of two big men combined.

The bucket is a piece of hardwood, mostly poplar, which is resistant to seawater corrosion and hard enough. It is more than one meter longer than the pile head, and the two are connected and fixed with a tip.

The two convex are also made of hardwood, and their length depends on the depth of the sea. There is a tooth opening at the junction of the two convex and the bamboo pole, with two upper and lower lines in between, twisted with hemp rope to make the two convex and the bamboo pole firmly tied.

The bamboo pole is the main body. It is the longest, more than ten meters long. One end of the bamboo pole is called the bamboo tail, which is used to be stuck on the bow.

The fishing boat goes out to sea, and the next step is to find a suitable place for piling.

Ao Muyang called Tiger over, tied a saddle to Tiger, and the others stayed on the boat. He followed Tiger to swim in the sea, looking for the migrating shrimps.

Prawns are a general term for shrimps. There are also many categories if they are subdivided. If they are divided according to their habitat habits, they can be divided into two categories, that is, settled and migratory.

Sedentary shrimps are Japanese shrimps, wide-grooved shrimps, European shrimps, Bohai shrimps, etc. Migratory shrimps include Chinese shrimps, Mergui shrimps, and long-haired shrimps.

Their target is Chinese shrimps, which like to live in turbid waters along the estuary. They often move and migrate over a large range according to the season. They mostly feed on benthic invertebrates and sometimes catch zooplankton.

Ao Muyang controlled the tiger to swim along the coast. He had read the sea chart in advance and specifically looked for the estuaries of large rivers.

After several dives, he found a group of prawns.

Prawns have strong athletic ability. They bounce in the water and swim in a strange way, but very fast.

The prawns he saw have two colors, some are blue-gray and some are yellow. This is because they are of different genders. Female shrimps are often blue-gray, while male shrimps are yellow on the outside.

Seeing this group of shrimps, he noted the location and sent a signal, and the Big Dragon Head came later.

Just like the previous jumping fire boy, this time the Big Dragon Head still had several boats tied behind its butt, but the number was no longer that large, only four.

There were four captains on four boats. Ao Muyang pointed to the surrounding sea area and said loudly: "Take your people on board and prepare for a fight!"

Piling is also called fighting, because the piles are driven into the sea by the pile heads, and the pile heads have to be hit to enter the seabed. The buckets connected to the pile heads are made of hardwood. The fishermen use sledgehammers to hit the buckets to drive the piles into the seabed.

The four fishing boats dispersed, and the captains changed the water and drank a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger juice, and then jumped into the water to find a place to pile.

After all, the pile heads are bamboo, not steel. There are mud and stones on the seabed. They have to find muddy and sandy places to pile. If they encounter a rocky seabed, the hammer will hurt the bamboo. Traditionally, this is called "splitting piles".

The captains jumped into the water and floated out one by one. Ao Daguo shouted, "Hey, let's see who can get off the stakes faster. Let's bet two bottles of wine. Is there anyone willing to do it?"

The strong Ao Mudong was the most courageous and aggressive. He wiped the sea water and shouted, "What's the point? Two bottles of wine is boring. Let's drink together when we go back. Whoever's fleet loses, whose fleet will pay for the banquet. Do you dare?"

Ao Daguo is now wealthy. Since he followed Ao Muyang, he not only paid off the loan for buying the boat, but also saved some money.

A man with money is strong and confident. Ao Daguo said, "What's there to be afraid of? This is not a bet on my wife. Let's do it!"

The captains of the other two boats didn't have that much money, so they were a little hesitant.

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "I, the leader, will pay for the banquet. Whoever loses will pay for the wine."

Upon hearing this, the other two captains also became bolder: "Let's do it!"

Ao Fugui asked, "Yangzi, come to our boat, we'll invite an outsider!"

Ao Mudong glared and roared, "You can invite Goudan, but you can't invite the leader. The leader alone can handle all of us. The leader is the referee, and he can't participate in the competition!"

Ao Daguo said, "Yes, the leader is the referee, you called the leader!"

Fishermen are all tough-tempered, and they all have a ball of fire in their hearts. When the four captains competed, they became serious.

The people on the four boats were ready to fight and looked at Ao Muyang together.

Ao Muyang said, "I'll call the queen down, and it will start when the queen falls on my shoulder!"

He whistled hard at the sky, and then waved down.

The queen, who was hovering in the sky, saw this scene and immediately folded her wings and flew down, diving down like an air-to-ship missile!

When she flew close, the queen spread her wings to slow down, and her claws accurately grabbed his shoulder guard.

Seeing this, Ao Mudong shouted: "Ten o'clock and forty meters, the people above, come down and hold me, fight!"
