Golden Fishing Village

The weather in mid-July is the hottest time of the year, and it is ten o'clock in the morning, which is also the hottest time of the day.

Seeing Ao Muyang about to get on the boat, Ao Xiaoniu, who was busy on the beach, looked up and shouted: "Uncle Xiaoyang, let's catch clams together. There are a lot of clams this year."

Ao Wenchang, who followed the teenagers to join in the fun, also waved to him and said: "Come on, Longtou, let's catch clams together. We will brine them in clear water later, and they will be more fresh."

Ao Muyang refused: "You guys catch them, I'll go out to sea to take a look."

"Go out to sea at this time?" Ao Wenchang looked at the sun, "It's almost lunch time, it's so uncomfortable for you to go out to sea now, go fishing in the afternoon, and do some night fishing by the way."

Indeed, in this season, anglers all use the method of night fishing, and stay at home to sleep honestly during the day to conserve their energy.

Ao Muyang hesitated. He was not afraid of the heat. He used to jump directly into the sea when he went out to sea. But this time he planned to use his consciousness to control tigers or sperm whales to enter the sea. His body had to stay on the sea.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's catch clams together. I'll go fishing when the weather is cooler."

He was afraid that his body would be damaged by the high temperature.

Ao Xiaoniu grinned and said, "Yes, it's too hot to fish now. Uncle Xiaoyang came to my house to eat fish at noon. I caught five sea bass in the morning, and my mother cooked sea bass at noon."

There is a fishing proverb in Hongyang called "Winter Crucian Carp and Summer Bass", which means that crucian carp is the fattest in winter and sea bass is the strongest in summer. Now is indeed a good time to eat sea bass.

The sun was scorching on the beach, and the beach was getting hotter and hotter. The clams couldn't stand the heat, and they all popped up to expand the hole to ventilate and cool down.

This made it much easier to catch clams, at least much easier than usual.

The teenagers held small shovels in their hands. When they saw clams popping out, they immediately shoveled them up, blocking the clams' escape route, and then brought up the sand to find the clams.

The president watched for a while and understood what they were doing, so he came to help.

The cat's claws were very fast and its reaction was also fast. When a clam popped out slightly, it immediately stretched out its claws to pick it out, and it was almost certain to catch it.

This made Ao Muyang's job simple. He opened the parasol to shade the president from the sun, and then followed the president. He picked up the clams when the president caught them, and soon he picked up dozens of them.

Seeing this scene, Ao Wenchang's wife Su Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Oh, village chief, you really paid off raising this cat. You can catch clams to eat."

Ao Muyang said, "It depends mainly on training. I train well."

"It's really hot today." Ao Wenchang wiped his sweat, "Let alone going fishing at sea, it's hard to even find a clam on the beach. I can't do it. I have to go home. It must be 35 or 36 degrees today?"

"How can it be?" Ao Xiaoniu took out a hanging thermometer from his waist, "Uncle Xiucai, it's only 29 degrees, not even 30 degrees."

Ao Muyang felt that it was mainly because of the strong sun exposure. With the cool sea breeze blowing, the temperature in the fishing village was not high.

"The temperature in Hongyang City must have reached 30 degrees. The news said it was 35 or 36 degrees at noon. This is a coastal city. If you go inland, some furnace cities are said to be close to 40 degrees."

"40 degrees? Wouldn't that make the person half-cooked?"

Ao Muyang has experienced this temperature before. The capital city is hot in July and August, and he is in a kitchen with a fire burning. The kitchen is hell at this time of year. It is also at this time that chefs will complain about choosing this industry to make a living.

Lu Zhizi went to Hongyang to play with his classmates, and Ao Muyang followed Ao Xiaoniu to his house for lunch at noon.

Zhu Zhu and Shisanmei also went to eat. These two girls eat at a hundred families. They will choose to eat at the home of whoever they play with. Of course, if Ao Muyang makes delicious food, they will still come back.

Now every household in the village is rich and does not lack these meals. The villagers know Yan Qingcheng's identity, so they welcome the two girls to eat for free. If Yan Qingcheng is on vacation in the village, he can invite the female president to have a meal together, and the owner of the fisherman can brag about it for a month.

There are many tourists in the village. Ao Xiaoniu's family has done a simple cleanup. His yard is large. After pulling up the shade net and hanging a circle of fans on the walls, it has become an open-air restaurant.

Song Qiumin asked someone to renovate the wing rooms in her house, which can accommodate some tourists to stay overnight. Her house is cheap to stay, and she is warm and kind. Some college students who come to the fishing village to travel on a budget like her the most.

The sea bass caught by Ao Xiaoniu is not small. The largest one is half a meter long. Song Qiumin cuts it into steamed and braised.

Steamed is suitable for drinking, and braised is suitable for rice. She is like selling fast food. Fifteen yuan for a portion is enough to make a dish.

Ao Muyang fried the clams with hot sauce. In fact, this is not a good way to eat fresh clams. The preciousness of fresh clams lies in their delicious taste, but he wanted to eat them with rice, so it was most appropriate to fry them with hot sauce.

In more than an hour in the morning, the head of state dug out several kilograms of clams for him and filled a small basket with them. In this way, he fried a pot of hot sauce, and Song Qiumin also plated them for fast food.

Some tourists saw some clams left in the basket and exclaimed: "Your village has so many resources. There are so many things on the beach. It's unbelievable. I wandered around Hongyang Beach for half a day the day before yesterday and caught two small crabs."

Ao Muyang smiled but said nothing. No one should laugh at anyone. In fact, the offshore resources of the fishing village are also very scarce. In the past few years, the villagers did not go to the sea because the harvest was too small.

There are a lot of small seafood on the beach in Longtou Village. This is because the village secretly releases seedlings at night. These shrimp seedlings, crab seedlings, and shell seedlings gradually grow up, satisfying the tourists' desire to catch them.

In addition, the water quality and abundant seaweed in the sea outside the village also played an important role. Ao Xiaoniu caught his fish in the sea outside the village. The large sea area outside the village did attract many fish, shrimps and crabs because of the large amount of seaweed.

The fishing village grows rice. In the past, the rice was not only eaten by oneself, but also sold to supplement the household income. Now it is no longer needed. The rice harvested in a year is not enough to steam rice for tourists.

A bowl of rice is steamed at just the right temperature. Song Qiumin still uses a big pot to steam rice. Basically, she cooks one pot at noon and two pots at night. Half of the two pots are left over at night, so she can make egg fried rice for tourists in the morning. Everything is just right.

Ao Muyang dug into a large bowl of rice. The crystal clear rice grains exuded steam, and the natural rice fragrance penetrated into people's noses along with the heat, whetting their appetites.

The fragrant rice is sprinkled with the braised seabass soup. Even if you don't eat anything else, just a bowl of rice soup is delicious enough.

The meat of sea bass is white in color and will not fall apart after being poked with chopsticks. Instead, it will be in small pieces like garlic cloves. Ao Muyang and his three children will be satisfied with a mouthful of rice and a chopstick of fish. .
