Golden Fishing Village

Ao Mudong was unhappy and muttered, "They don't follow the rules. They want to steal food."

"You are protecting food, listen to the dragon head. If the dragon head says it's okay, then we should be generous." Ao Qianwen said with a smile.

They all knew the purpose of the two boats behind, which was to follow the big dragon head to catch fish. Ao Muyang led the team to go out to sea and had a good harvest every time. His reputation had spread a long time ago.

Since the sea was opened last autumn, many fishing boats in the surrounding towns wanted to follow the big dragon head, but for the fishermen, this was not a glorious thing, just like playing rogue, so the captains of these fishing boats were just talking, and did not really come to follow.

Now the sea is about to be closed. In June, all fishing boats have to be moored. There will be no income for the next quarter, and some captains are anxious.

It happened that Ao Muyang personally led the big dragon head to go out to sea at this time, and Long Deshui and the captain of another village decided to shamelessly follow to catch fish.

On that day, the Big Dragon Head went out to sea in the morning, driving all the way, straight into the deep sea of ​​the distant exclusive economic zone.

In fact, Ao Muyang had no idea whether he could catch Pacific cod this time. This fish is not very productive and likes to live in a fixed sea area, rather than migrating everywhere like tuna, so it is not easy to find the sea area where the fish live.

This depends on the tiger, so Ao Muyang fed the tiger beef along the way to keep it in a good mood. It will rely on it to make merit in the next two days.

After sailing out all day, Ao Muyang asked Ao Daguo to set the route to automatic navigation at night, and then continued to sail forward.

The two ships behind were a little impatient. Long Deshui contacted Zhong Feilu, the captain of the Zhongjiashuigou. Zhong Feilu said: "Brother Shui, you have a good relationship with Captain Ao. Go and ask him what this means."

Zhong Feilu followed his uncle to Tianjin Wei in the early years, and there was a bit of Tianjin flavor in his voice.

Long Deshui laughed dryly and said, "Old Zhong, why don't you go and ask? Captain Ao likes making friends the most. You didn't talk to him much before. Who knows, he might treat you as a new friend and be willing to open up to you."

Zhong Feilu smiled bitterly and said, "I regret it now. I regret why I didn't bring two pounds of snacks to visit his home earlier and make friends earlier. At least he can take care of me now. So you are a smart man, Brother Shui. You have been in contact with Captain Ao for a long time. It is said that Captain Ao can become the captain because of you. This is called the merit of following the dragon in Tianjin. Go and ask him. There will be no problem with his attitude towards you."

Long Deshui had no choice but to ask. They didn't know the purpose of Ao Muyang's voyage this time. If Ao Muyang was angry because they followed him, and then deliberately took them around on the sea, it would be a heavy loss.

Longtou Village is now making a lot of money from fishing and tourism, and has strong capital. It doesn't matter if there is no harvest after a trip, but Long Deshui and Zhong Feilu can't do that.

Not to mention the depreciation, maintenance and fuel expenses of a fishing boat, just talk about the brothers on this boat. There are more than 20 mouths waiting to eat. If they can't make money, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Long Deshui personally drove the boat to catch up with the Big Dragon Head, and then adjusted the radio channel to call the Big Dragon Head.

Ao Daguo was ready to go to bed. He picked up the phone and said unhappily: "What's the matter at this time? It'd better be urgent, otherwise don't blame me for cursing and disturbing your sweet dreams!"

Long Deshui smiled and said: "Brother Daguo, I'm Ah Shui. You ask Captain Ao to answer the phone. I have something to ask him."

Ao Daguo said: "No need, Captain Ao is asleep. He has left a message for me. This time I'm going out to try my luck to find cod, so I won't cast the net halfway. If I can find cod, I'll make a fortune. If I can't find it, forget it."

Long Deshui's heart tightened immediately: "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true." Ao Daguo said, "Do you think our leader can lie?"

Turning off the radio, Long Deshui pondered in his heart, and then went to discuss with Zhong Feilu.

The next morning, the sun jumped out of the sea level. Ao Muyang yawned and walked out of the cabin, and then saw that the two boats behind him had become one, and the remaining one was the boat of Zhongjiagou, and the boat of Longwangzhuang was nowhere to be seen.

Ao Muyang smiled. He contacted Zhong Feilu and asked, "Uncle Zhong, where is Secretary Long? Why did his boat fall behind?"

After receiving the signal he sent, Zhong Feilu was a little flattered and a little nervous. He was afraid that Ao Muyang would come over and mock him.

So, he said honestly, "I talked to Secretary Long last night. He felt that it was not reliable to go out to catch cod. It was purely based on luck, so he decided to go first."

"Why don't you go? You have confidence in me." Ao Muyang teased.

Zhong Feilu said, "I just think that everything depends on fate, right? Everything depends on fate. I will follow Village Chief Ao around for a while. It's good to broaden my horizons or relax."

Hearing him say this, Ao Muyang couldn't help laughing. Is this considered flattery?

After running for a day and a night, the Dragon Head was already far away from the coast.

Ao Muyang took the new signal transmitter, then jumped into the water from the boat, put a saddle on the tiger, and left the fishing boat, heading for the deep sea.

The cod habitat can be as deep as two thousand meters, which is very difficult to catch and even more difficult to find.

The tiger ate while swimming. Ao Muyang also brought some cod with him. He fed the tiger a whole fish to let the tiger get familiar with the taste, and then went to look for this fish.

Deep-sea fishery resources are much richer than offshore ones, but they have also declined sharply compared to the past. Marine environmental pollution and overfishing by fishermen have created the current predicament for various reasons.

Wandering in the sea, Lao Ao put his hands on his chin and thought of the social debate topic.

The industry puts the blame on the fishery, saying that the annual shortage of China's fishery resources is due to overfishing by fishermen, and even using the family-killing net.

But the family-killing net is used by a minority of people after all. It is said that it is mechanized overfishing, but other developed countries are more mechanized and have stronger fishing capabilities, so the fishery puts the blame on the industry, believing that it is a problem caused by marine pollution.

Ao Muyang feels that this is hard to explain. Take cod for example. Atlantic cod was once so abundant that it was a disaster. There are even claims in Northern Europe and Canada that people walked ashore by stepping on cod schools.

Codfish have strong reproductive capacity. A female fish about 1 meter long can produce 3 to 4 million eggs at a time. However, after being fully fished by European countries, the Newfoundland fishing grounds with the most codfish have turned into a dead sea...

He was wandering in the sky when a group of fish appeared at the end of his vision.

He glanced casually and immediately became energetic. He patted the tiger's head to signal it to chase the fish.

From a distance, these fish are not small. It is estimated that the big ones are one meter long, and most of them are more than half a meter long. They are relatively long and mainly dark gray, a bit like Pacific cod.
