Zhao Dahai strode into the yard. The door of the main room was open. He saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua weaving a fishing net and called out to come back.
Zhong Cuihua looked up, put down the shuttle in her hand, and walked over.
Zhao Dahai opened the mesh bag and poured the crab and tiger fish inside into the bucket. When he came back, he put some seawater and beach mud in it. It has strong vitality and can be raised in seawater and beach mud for three to five days or even ten days and a half.
Neither can die.
"Yo!"
"This tiger crab is so big!"
Zhong Cuihua has lived in a fishing village all her life and has never seen a crab and tiger like this many times.
"Hey!"
"Who would have thought that there would be such a big crab and tiger on the reef at the east end of the village? It's too late today. Let's go fishing tomorrow."
Zhao Dahai was a little proud, the harvest today was really good.
Zhong Cuihua shook her head. It was incredible that she could catch so many. It was impossible to catch more crabs and tigers of this size. Besides, the village was a big place and they knew everything they could do. Maybe now
There are already people fishing there.
Zhao Dahai was stunned and then smiled bitterly. When he came back, he passed by the village pier. Zhong Shizhu and a few people saw the crab tiger fish. He even picked up the net bag to see clearly. There might be people on the reef now.
In another two hours, there will be at least ten or twenty fish, weighing more than half a pound of crab and tiger fish. Who is not greedy? If I go around the pier when I come back and no one sees me, I can still catch it tomorrow. Now it is really
No chance.
Zhao Dahai regretted it, but there was no other way. It was getting late. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice. The remaining half a catty of snails from the sea last night were cooked in boiling water, poured some soy sauce, and put on the table. The crab and tiger fish caught would not
Eat, keep and sell for money.
"grandmother."
"I'll get up around four o'clock tomorrow and go to the town to sell fish."
"correct!"
"Isn't there land behind our house? I'll buy some vegetable clocks and plant them there."
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua his plan while eating.
"OK."
"The land behind the house has not been planted for two or three years and has become overgrown with grass. Some people wanted to plant it, but I didn't agree."
Zhong Cuihua nodded. She had to rush to the morning market to sell fish and had to get up early. There was land behind the house, but it had not been planted in the past two years and the grass had grown barren.
Zhao Dahai was not surprised at all. Something happened to his father and mother, and he was too lazy to eat. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was old, so she could weave some fishing nets in exchange for money to buy rice, which was enough for her to eat, but she didn’t have the energy to farm any more. It’s nothing to do. Let’s start again and plant all kinds of crops.
You can eat this kind of green vegetables continuously for a month. It is inconvenient and expensive to buy them in the town.
Three o'clock in the morning.
The chicken didn't even wake up.
It's still early in the morning.
Zhao Dahai got up, washed his face, changed his clothes, went out with the fish bucket, and strode towards the town. Without a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle, he could only rely on two legs and walked for a full two hours.
We arrived at five o'clock and went directly to the vegetable market. It was still early and there were not many people buying fish, shrimps and crabs, but there were quite a few stalls selling fish, shrimps and crabs, and they were busy arranging fish products.
Zhao Dahai scratched the back of his head, and then he remembered that to sell fish, you need a stall. If you don't have a stall, you can't sell fish. If you set up a stall, you have to guard it. After thinking about it, he decided to sell it to a fishmonger. The price will be lower, but he saves money.
Save time and effort.
Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry. Crabs and tigers, especially the big ones, were good things. He didn’t have to worry about selling them. He walked from stall to stall and asked about the fish prices. He would go out to sea to fish sooner or later. It was very important to understand the market.
"Hurry up!"
…
"Someone has to buy fish soon!"
…
“Where’s that big mackerel!?”
“And big grouper!”
"Put them all in the most conspicuous place for me!"
…
Zhao Dahai was walking when he heard a voice coming from in front of him and looked up. There was a fish stall not far away, with a sign hanging on the side that read "Sister Li's Fish Stall", a forty-year-old boy.
While the women were shouting, they were arranging the fish on the stall with quick hands and feet. In the blink of an eye, one after another, neatly arranged. In fishing villages, it is very common for husbands to go fishing or collect fish and wives to sell fish. Women in fishing villages can be half of the sky.
This looks like a good move.
"Ashanti!"
"I remember there was a box of sand pointed fish. Where is it?"
Just as Zhao Dahai was about to walk over, the middle-aged woman turned back and called out to the store.
"I remember the one who was in the corner!"
"Isn't it right here?"
…
"Why!"
"Crazy busy!"
"You can't even see it like this!?"
…
Zhao Dahai looked at a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with a little baby fat and a pretty face who came out of the store and was stunned for a moment.
Why does it look familiar?
Where have you seen it?
Zhao Dahai frowned and tried to think back.
Ding Xiaoxiang?
Zhao Dahai's eyes widened suddenly and he patted his head hard.
There is a village called Dashi Village next door to Langtou Village. It is not big. There are less than twenty households in total. The land is not three feet flat, and one person cannot get a piece of land. Ding Xiaoxiang is from this village. There are more than a dozen people nearby.
There is only one primary school in the village, and everyone who studies is in one place. Ding Xiaoxiang is good-looking and excels at small children. The children in the fishing village, especially the boys, are very wild and often go to see them in groups. However, what I really remember about Ding Xiaoxiang is that she is very
I got married at the age of nine and stayed in the village all my life. My husband went out to sea to fish, and I did some work in the fields at home. I mended fishing nets in my spare time. This was no different from the life of an ordinary fishing village family. I gave birth to three boys and two girls.
It is also not surprising that places like remote fishing villages have always had many sons and daughters. But what is surprising is that Ding Xiaoxiang manages the household well and raises children well, and all five of her children are successful. And it is not as simple as going to college or something, a province
Senior officials, two scientific academicians, and three billionaires.
A living legend.
It’s so outrageous!
Zhao Dahai sighed very much. At this time, Ding Xiaoxiang was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was living in the town vegetable market helping her family sell fish. Who could have imagined that she would be so defiant and become a living legend.
or?
Fish sold to legend?
Take advantage of this moment to see what it looks like up close.
Zhao Dahai looked at the crab and tiger fish in his hand, walked over, put down the bucket in his hand, and took out the mesh bag.
"Crab goby?"
"So big?"
Ding Xiaoxiang took a look and couldn't help blurting out.
"Do you accept this?"
"what price?"
Zhao Dahai nodded.
Zhang Li glared at her daughter Ding Xiaoxiang. She was a fish collector. It was obvious that the fish was good, so wouldn't she have to pay a high price?
Ding Xiaoxiang stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth without speaking.
"receive!"
"This head is rare!"
"However, this is a fishing hole fish, so I have to take some risks."
"The currency is ten yuan a pound."
Zhang Li picked at the crab and tiger fish in the net bag for a long time and looked at them carefully. Every one of them was alive and kicking, weighing more than half a catty, and the two largest ones weighed more than one catty.
Zhao Dahai was very happy when he heard this. Diaokou means that this fish is caught, and the caught fish is injured. Only when the crab tiger fish is alive can it be sold at a good price. If no one buys it for a long time, it will definitely die. This means
It's an adventure, but the risk is not big. One is that the crab and tiger fish can survive, and the fish's gills and other places are not injured when fishing. Or the hook swallows the stomach and tears the intestines. It can take three to five days or even ten days and a half.
It won't die. I know the fish I caught, and none of them are like this. The other one is only half a catty and upwards and is very popular. It won't take long to sell it. The risk is definitely there but it is very small.
Ten yuan per catty? Yesterday, people in the village said that people with three or two big bucks would have to call them five yuan per catty. This is obviously a scam, bullying yourself into not knowing the market.
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything, picked up the mesh bag, turned around and left. What about Ding Xiaoxiang, the future legend? It's not like his daughter-in-law's wealth will not go to outsiders, and she can't lick a dog if she doesn't have the face to give her. This is the fish she has worked so hard to catch.
