Chapter 46 Big low tide! The whole village is busy preparing!
"This morning, Zhao Dahai went to fish for Shi Jiugong. I met at the pier. At that time, I was thinking, how can I make money by fishing for this thing?!"
"Who wants to get a erythema that caught a four-pound pound? Get a few thousand dollars right away."
"Hey!"
"I've figured it out."
"Those gobies or red spots are destined to be Zhao Dahai's. We are not destined to be."
Zhong Shizhu said while getting on his fishing boat. He took out a few large mesh bags from the cabin, washed the sea water and rolled it up carefully, and tied the small rope.
"you're right!"
"That kid Zhao Dahai has such luck."
"I heard that I bought a motorcycle?!"
Liu Bin sighed in his heart. Four kilograms of red spots are rare things. He has been fishing for more than twenty years. The biggest one is only one kilogram and eight taels. He really needs to be lucky to meet them. Perhaps Zhong Shizhu is right. This fish is destined to be Zhao Dahai's, and others can't catch them.
"yes!"
"I bought a motorcycle!"
“Second-hand!”
Zhong Shizhu nodded. Zhao Dahai did buy a motorcycle and was walking around Zhong Cuihua's village. He met him when he got off the dock just now.
"This life is over!"
"Zhao Dahai's boy is amazing!"
Liu Bin sighed a little. Zhao Dahai's father and mother went fishing in the sea two years ago. People in the village, including themselves, felt that the old man and the young man could not live sooner or later - one was so old that the loess was buried in the neck and the other became a slut. However, the old lady Zhong Cuihua was seventy years old, and she relied on the weaving fishing net and stayed at home, waiting for Zhao Dahai to turn around.
Zhong Shizhu packed up his net bag, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and took a few sips. Second-hand motorcycle? Even the brand new self and Liu Bin and even many people in the village could afford it. This is not because he bought a second-hand or brand new motorcycle. As Liu Bin said, Zhao Dahai has been living a life of rushing around, and it seems that he is getting better and better. It is not like that. He doesn’t have the money to buy vegetables and rice, so where can he buy motorcycles?
When Liu Bin saw Zhong Shizhu leaving, he glanced at Zhong Shizhu carried the mesh bag in his hand, and tied it neatly at least a dozen. This was not right.
“The tide is gone.”
"You didn't forget it, did you?"
Zhong Shizhu said and turned around and left. The sunlight disappeared. It was getting dark. I had to make some preparations when I went back, so I couldn't delay the time.
Liu Bin patted his thighs hard. The sea kept rising and falling tides. However, the tide was not the same every time. There are common differences between large and small tides, but the sea area near Langtou Village and the surrounding villages is a bit special. Once or twice a year, the tide recedes very far away, and the seabed that is not exposed is exposed. These sea waters have flooded the places that have been half a year or even longer. There are not many fish, shrimps and crabs, but there are really many kinds of mussels and oysters. Every year, the tide is a good thing to lose pies. I won’t talk about the seaside villages, but there are many people in the town and even the county town to catch the sea.
"How can you forget something like this?!"
Liu Bin hurriedly searched his fishing boat, found all the net bags, washed them, and went home to prepare immediately. The big tide was a good opportunity to make money. The family was harder and could get two hundred kilograms of mussels at will. How could such an opportunity be missed? It was sold to the buyer for three or five yuan per kilogram, and it was five or six hundred or even one thousand yuan.
Night falls.
After dinner, Zhao Dahai took Zhong Cuihua out for a walk. After a hundred steps, he lived to ninety-nine. Zhong Cuihua weaved fish nets all day long. She sat for too long and was not good for her legs and feet. She had to walk more.
What's going on?
What are these people doing?
Zhao Dahai accompanied Zhong Cuihua slowly. At the beginning, he didn't pay much attention and quickly found that every household had lights on. This was not right. The fishing village was like other villages. They usually went to bed early and got up early. One was so tired of working that they had to go to bed early, and the other was to save money, and the electricity bill was not cheap. Forget it, just because the lights were on in the whole village, almost every household in the whole village was on, not just the lights in the room, but the lights with high wattages in the yard were on.
"Hahaha!"
"Tomorrow is a big tide."
"These people are all preparing."
Zhong Cuihua glanced at the open courtyard gate of the family. Several people were tidying up the net bags and immediately thought of what was going on.
"Why!"
"I forgot about this!"
"grandmother!"
"This is a good opportunity, and we can't let it go."
"I'll go out tomorrow morning. Walk around the sea for a few times and get something."
Zhao Dahai suddenly realized.
"OK!"
"You go."
"Just get some back and eat it. There is no need to spend too much effort."
Zhong Cuihua immediately reminded Zhao Dahai that the tide is low, and there are mussels, oysters or other shellfish at the bottom of the sea. One of the characteristics of these things is that they are heavy. Zhao Dahai is strong, but the tide is low, and there is no way to travel far away. A person can't bring much things, so don't be tired and injured.
"OK!"
"grandmother!"
"Don't worry!"
"I'll pay attention!"
Zhao Dahai nodded and agreed. Going to sea really requires caution. Don’t think that there will be no danger if the water in the tide is completely retreated. This is not the case at all.
Zhao Dahai accompanied Zhang Cuihua for almost an hour before returning home.
Zhao Dahai began to prepare the things to use tomorrow. He prepared ten mesh bags of all sizes, all of which were only as big as chopsticks. The mesh with too big mesh has no use. The shells with small nods must fall off. The main thing that catches mussels, oysters or other shells. These things are dug out with mud and water. Buckets and other impermeable bags are not used. The mesh bags are best used, and they do not store water. They wash them in the puddles filled with water. All muds such as muds are washed off. The small hoe and small iron rake must be brought with them.
"ah?"
"The sea!"
"You have prepared so many things? Can you bring them?"
"We can get some back and eat! There is no need to think about selling it!"
Zhong Cuihua sat in the main hall weaving fishing nets. From time to time, she looked up at Zhao Dahai. When she saw that there were a lot of things she prepared, she immediately shouted.
"grandmother."
"Can't take it?"
“Didn’t you just bought a motorcycle?”
Zhao Dahai smiled and pointed to the motorcycle parked in the corner of the yard. He found a large wooden stick as thick as a bowl in the firewood pile in the kitchen. He sawed it for more than a meter long. He put it on the back seat and found a rope, tied it tightly. He wore a large bamboo basket on both sides, and put it in the mesh bag in it, but there was no problem at all. This motorcycle is really better than buying it and using it immediately.
After Zhao Dahai finished packing up his things, he immediately went to the kitchen to make a fire and cook. He had to be busy all day tomorrow, so he cooked it first. It was convenient for grandma to eat. More importantly, he saved time and had to do heavy physical work. He ruthlessly cut the whole piece of salted pork belly into large pieces and cooked it. He fryed the salted fish. Everything was ready. It was about to twelve o'clock, so he went to bed immediately.
