Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 39 39. Repairing the school

After much effort, the general learned how to drag the net bag. The man and the dog worked together to pry down a lot of oysters.

Later, a metal boat towed a sampan to Hongyang City. Ao Muyang paid two hundred yuan for the towing fee, and then rowed the sampan to the sea where Lao Suntou Xiaochu was.

There were many people playing on the beach. Seeing Ao Muyang rowing a boat with a water hound on the boat, some people were quite envious and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

When he arrived at the location of Lao Suntou Xiaochu, he rowed the boat to the shore. There were also tourists on the beach. Some people said enviously: "Brother, are you here to sell fish? You have a good life. You can make money while enjoying the sea view."

Hearing this, Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "People traveling on the river only love the beauty of perch. You see a leaf boat, appearing and disappearing in the storm."

"What do you mean?" The man didn't understand.

Ao Muyang didn't explain. Those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand will not be able to say more.

In fact, life and work are like this. You only see the thief eating meat but never seeing the thief being beaten. This is like drinking water, and you know the cold and warm of it yourself.

As a result, tourists regarded his behavior as the style of a fisherman, thinking that he had a kind of unrestrained and free-spiritedness that transcended the mundane world, so they envied him even more: "What a style!"

He called Old Sun, and Old Sun ran out wiping his hands.

Seeing a boat full of oysters, Old Sun's eyes lit up and said, "Wild?"

Ao Muyang patted the bow and said, "All wild, come and see for yourself."

Everyone on the seaside knows that oysters do not need any feed to grow. They live by filtering plankton in the sea, so there is no difference between farmed and wild.

In fact, this is just an external rhetoric. Oyster farming still requires feed. The plankton content in a certain sea area is quantitative. How many oysters can be fed by the plankton in the seawater alone?

In the marine farm, the number of oysters on an oyster bed is dozens of times that of wild oysters, and the density is very high.

In order to make them grow fast, they must be well fed and watered. In this case, the natural plankton in the seawater is insufficient and needs to be added.

Eating oysters is for nutrition and taste. Farmed oysters grow fast, so the nutritional content is naturally low. Moreover, they grow too fast, which makes the taste bad. They are like dough when chewed and lack chewiness.

Old Sun randomly selected a few oysters and opened them with a pry knife. Inside was white and yellow tender meat with black edges. He dug one and put it in his mouth, then nodded with appreciation: "Okay, how much do you sell it for?"

Ao Muyang said: "You decide, anyway, we are not a one-time deal."

Old Sun laughed: "I'll give you the market price, 15 yuan per catty, okay?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "Okay."

Oysters are not generally eaten by enthusiasts or rich people. They are just a big shell with shells on both sides like stones. If you buy a catty of oysters, eight taels are shells.

The shells of wild oysters are thicker because they have to defend against natural enemies, and there is not much in a catty.

But even so, wild oysters are more expensive. In this season, ordinary oysters can be bought for 15 yuan for two or three kilograms, or even four or five kilograms if the quality is not good, but wild ones can only be bought for one kilogram, and it is difficult to buy them in the market. Generally, they are directly supplied to hotels, and then the hotels sell them individually.

Old Sun bought them at the market price instead of the wholesale price, which is considered to be conscientious.

This ship of oysters has 300 kilograms, and Old Sun gave him 4,500 yuan.

Oysters should be eaten fresh, but they will not die when they are taken out of the water. They can be temporarily raised with seawater. This batch of oysters is enough for Old Sun's small shop to digest for a few days.

Seeing that he sent a ship of wild oysters, the restaurant owners next to him heard the news and came to hand him business cards and small gifts:

"Brother, call me if you have good goods."

"Are there any more oysters tomorrow? Prepare 120 kilograms for me."

"Money is negotiable, brother. As long as the fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are wild, I can eat them if you bring them."

As ordinary people gradually become richer, the number of foodies has increased sharply, and everyone has begun to be particular about food, and wild seafood has become more and more popular.

Ao Muyang put away his business card and said with a smile: "I will call you, but you have to go and get it yourself. I won't send it again."

He came here to make a name for himself. If he had to run back and forth every time, it would be a waste of time and energy.

He bought some more things and returned to Longtou Village on a fishing boat. It was already afternoon.

After Ao Muyang got ashore, he met Ao Mufeng, the owner of the fishing house, who said: "Hey, Yangzi, you didn't go to school?"

"Go to school? What school?" Ao Muyang wondered.

Ao Mufeng said, "School is about to start in September, isn't it? Teacher Lu thinks we have to clean up the school in advance. The village committee has called out on the loudspeaker this morning, asking us to help clean up the school, but who the hell is going to go without money?"

Ao Muyang frowned and said, "Why not go if you don't have money? Aren't the children in school from our village?"

Ao Mufeng smiled awkwardly, "Brother Yang, don't get angry with me. My child is only two years old and not old enough to go to school. Besides, even if he reaches school age, I will send him to the city. Can he go to school in the village?"

Then, he smiled slyly, "You didn't go either, did you?"

Ao Muyang was choked and said, "I'll go right away."

The primary school is on the hillside of Dalong Mountain behind the village. It has a long history. It used to be a private school in the village, and later became a primary school. Almost all the people from the surrounding three villages and five villages graduated from here.

The site was chosen on the mountainside based on Feng Shui considerations. Mountains block evil winds and water brings talents. In addition, the school is built on the mountain, so the students are higher than those on the ground. This is called "suppressing others", which means to stand out.

Ao Muyang knew that this was useless, otherwise Longtou Village Primary School had not produced a high-ranking official or a wealthy person for many years?

Walking on the mountain road, the school appeared in his sight.

The iron fence gate of the campus faces the mountain road. It is about four or five meters wide and more than three meters high. The railings are rusty and overgrown with weeds inside and outside.

There is a line of blurred words on the screen wall on both sides of the door. The handwriting is no longer clear under the wind and rain, but Ao Muyang knows what is written. He has long remembered it in his heart:

"Although the road is close, you can't go there; although the matter is small, you can't do it!" He murmured, and everything he saw was dilapidated.

Looking at this dilapidated campus, Ao Muyang felt powerless.

With such a school, how can we get the children to come back to school? He thought the county had already allocated funds to renovate the school, but now it seems that the so-called "reopening" is just a gimmick.

However, the campus is at least a little lively at this time. Several teenagers are busy inside, led by Lu Zhizi.

Lu Zhizi at this time is different from when he first met her. She wrapped a piece of cloth on her head as a headscarf, changed into a set of camouflage clothes, wore labor protection gloves on her hands, and there were pieces of dust on her pretty face. Where is the charming and charming posture before?

Ao Xiaoniu saw Ao Muyang and shouted: "Uncle Yang, you are here."

Lu Zhizi turned around and smiled: "Great, there is one more person."

Ao Muyang smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I went out to sea a long time ago and didn't know about this matter. Otherwise, I would have come to help earlier. By the way, are there only a few of you?"

"And me." Ao Fugui, who was covered in dust, popped his head out of the window. He was shirtless and sweating like a clay man.

Since he came to the school, there was no doubt that he had to help clean up.

But he was a little confused at this time. The school was too shabby. It was too difficult to clean it up!

And this job should not be done by teachers and students. He took out his mobile phone and said, "Don't do it for now. I'll call the village chief to see what this means. Is this how school is resumed? Isn't this nonsense? You guys take a rest, go back and wash up, and I'll make dinner for you in the evening!"
