According to the temper of the past, when encountering this kind of stranger who is actually inquiring about new things by chatting, Zhao Baoxuan must have found an excuse to leave.

Fortunately, Zhang Wuwei took her out of the door a few times, and perfectly interpreted that she could seamlessly integrate into the environment at that time no matter where she went, which made her impressed again and again.

With such a boss, it is not enough for her to have long knowledge, and it is progress to increase her courage.

Zhao Baoxuan thought for a while: "Do you have anything important to say, do you want me to get out of the way for a while, and then come back to listen to you?"

Lao Zou's wife waved her hand: "What can be important, he is the most idle in the village!"

Zhao Baoxuan wondered, this person's eyes were dripping, he didn't look like an idle person, but he looked idle, and blurted out, "Why didn't you get on the fishing boat?"

The man didn't expect Zhao Baoxuan to take the initiative to say hello, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly introduced himself and said that he had opened a workshop in the village, did not run boats, and was also surnamed Zou.

Zhao Baoxuan sighed, secretly laughing at his own thinking is too simple, who said that fishermen have to fish in the sea.

Old Zou's wife smiled: "Boss Zou, do you still need to run a boat? The money earned by the two factories in your family can't be spent in a lifetime, when will you take us to make a fortune together." ”

Boss Zou looked at Zhao Baoxuan with his eyes from time to time, and replied absentmindedly: "Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me, how can there be endless money, it is the sea breeze that cannot be spent in a lifetime!"

Zhao Baoxuan couldn't help laughing, this is too right, the most in the world is sunshine and air, covered her mouth and smiled for a while before asking, "Boss Zou, what kind of factory do you open?"

Boss Zou immediately turned around: "Dealing with seafood." ”

Zhao Baoxuan asked: "What are they? kelp, yellow croaker, cuttlefish?"

Many of the signature soups in the Jade Kitchen Restaurant need to be added with seafood, and she has seen a lot of them since she was a child, so she is no stranger to them.

"It's all there, it's all you say. ”

"In addition to going to sea here, it's just drying these seafood, right?"

"Yes, yes, our seafood is very famous, and many people come to our house to receive it. Shall I take you to our house?"

"Huh, is that okay?"

"Of course, just look at it!"

Zhao Baoxuan felt funny: "Thank you, I'm not going, they should come back in a while." ”

Lao Zou's wife said: "Go together, I'll go and see it too, it's okay if you come back to no one at home, they will look for it when they lock the door at home, and they will find it after going around the village." ”

The folk customs of Mocun are simple, and visiting and chatting are daily necessities.

Zhao Baoxuan thought that she could help Zhang Wuwei inquire about some more things about Mocun, so she was bored, so she went with her.

The seafood processing factory is between Mocun and Yintan communities, and rows of bamboo shelves are set up in the open space, which are hung with kelp, as well as wooden boards, and dried with fish and shrimp.

The place is unexpectedly big, Zhao Baoxuan inhaled deeply: "It's so fragrant!"

Boss Zou smiled: "You have a terrible nose! Some northerners can't stand it when they come to us, they don't like it." ”

Zhao Baoxuan expressed understanding: "Those who don't eat fish only smell fishy. In fact, the fish you have here are very good, and they smell very sweet. ”

The key is that this processing plant is a local method of processing, and the sanitary conditions are poor, and anyone who has eyes can easily pick out the problems that do not meet the standards.

Lao Zou's wife listened very rarely: "You can still smell the sweetness?"

Zhao Baoxuan picked up a few dried shrimps and put them under her nose to smell: "Yes, these are very fresh, they are dried live shrimp." ”

When she was a child, Zhao Qingshan loved to teach her to distinguish the quality of these seafood, what color is fresh, what is not fresh and what taste, which ones are suitable for stir-frying, and which ones are suitable for cooking soup.

It's a pity that she didn't pay attention to cooking at all, she knew too little and couldn't say more.

Boss Zou and Lao Zou's wife didn't know Zhao Baoxuan's origin, just listening to Zhao Baoxuan say these two words, they felt that she was already at a high level.

"Miss Zhao, look at the ones over there, those are better, do you like them?" Boss Zou regarded Zhao Baoxuan as an expert, but he was enthusiastic.

Zhao Baoxuan was stunned for a moment, how did Boss Zou know that her surname was Zhao? She hesitated for a moment and didn't ask, and walked over to look at the salted fish: "What kind of fish is this? I haven't seen it! Ah, I know that the smell I smelled in the Yintan community is this! But it is heavier than this smell, and it is very fragrant." ”

She smelled it when she was in the basement of the community, and thought it was the sea breeze.

Lao Zou's wife smiled and chatted with Boss Zou in Mocun dialect: "That's why she said that your fish smells good, if only the people who came to buy the house were like her." ”

Zhao Baoxuan couldn't understand what they were saying, but when she saw them talking and staring at the Yintan community, there was a small building facing the processing plant here, so she asked, "Boss Zou, do you have a house in that district? ”

Boss Zou nodded: "Yes, I chose the opposite building at that time, and the 1~4th floors are all our house." You see, there was a fence down here, and I was going to build a walkway and open a door to the wall when I moved here, and I just went up here. ”

Lao Zou's wife smiled: "Now there is no wall, you don't have to build a walkway, you don't need to open the door, you can go directly, it's beautiful to you!"

Zhao Baoxuan took a look, it was really strange, the shelves and planks for drying seafood in the processing plant were only placed outside the fence line of the Silver Beach Community, and it really didn't cross the line!

It seems that the legend of the Silver Beach community is not groundless.

She thought of a way to bring the topic to the community: "Boss Zou, how long has your factory been open?

She wasn't very good at chatting, so she just asked questions about things she was slightly familiar with, otherwise it would be too boring to always look at and laugh so awkwardly.

The wind on the seaside is strong, and it is conceivable that the sea breeze must be full of dust when building infrastructure, and these seafood dried in the open air are not all sand!

"It doesn't matter!" Boss Zou was very proud: "I'm sincere, I open a processing factory here, no matter how the wind blows, it's blowing from my side to his side." I won't tell you anything, worship the god of the sea, and I am the most sincere in the whole village. ”

Hey, it's amazing, the topic actually came back to it.

Zhao Baoxuan snickered in her heart: "When is it time to worship the sea god here? ”

"Originally, it was April every year!, but now, ......" Boss Zou wanted to speak and stopped: "Hey, don't mention it." ”

Zhao Baoxuan asked curiously: "What month is it now?"

Lao Zou's wife muttered: "You just say, what are you afraid of, the village chief is not here, you call people to come, don't you just want to talk about it!"

Boss Zou gritted his teeth: "Don't let it happen now!" It is said that it is to create a new style, and the old customs must be cleared up." ”

Zhao Baoxuan blinked: "No, these are folk customs, and if you want to protect them, you can also apply for intangible heritage." ”

She gave a brief account of the bill on the excavation and protection of folklore.

Boss Zou was excited all of a sudden: "Great, there's still this thing!

His joy infected Zhao Baoxuan: "Is the worship of the sea god you talking about more lively than yesterday's fishing ceremony?"

"It's much more lively! Fishing is to put offerings and disperse, in front of the Tanah Lot Temple to place offerings to worship is authentic, to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, to worship the sea is useful!"

That look was not at all disdainful of the current fishing ceremony.

Zhao Baoxuan smiled: "It's so exquisite, it's fun to listen to." But why is it April? How cold it is!"

"It's not cold, you can farm in April, the valley rain sacrifice sea is handed down by the ancestors, the weather is not cold or hot in those days, occasionally one or two times of rain, the wind is not big and does not affect. In the past, our temple fair was lively. ”

"What's all the fun?" Isn't the rainy season the time for farmers to plant rice and plant the land?

"What a lot of fun! There is a god to carry the god out of the temple, carry the city to patrol the city, and then patrol the sea, and invite the sea god to the ship, and the sea god will send the offerings we offer him to the dragon lord in the sea. ”

During the rainy season, the temperature rises and the sea warms up, and the fish in the sea migrate to the shallow water, which is a good day for fishermen to go to the sea to fish.

As the saying goes, "riding the valley rain to the net field", people have land to plant crops in the valley rain on this day to worship the god of agriculture, they have no land to plant can only go out to sea to fish, to sacrifice to the god of the sea, for the fishermen to hold a sea sacrifice on the day of the rain valley, pray for the god of the sea to bless them to be able to go to sea safely and return with a full load.

Boss Zou was talking and gesturing, his face was full of excitement, and the old Zou wife smiled happily on the side, interjecting from time to time to add something.

Zhao Baoxuan was fascinated by what he heard, such a traditional folk custom can be specially written and put into the museum, it is a pity that no one develops it, and he still wants to change it.

She knowingly asked, "Where is the Tanah Lot Temple in the village?"

"That's where the nursing home is!"

"Ahh ”

"It's locked, and no one will show it. ”

"Oh~!" Zhao Baoxuan stretched out her voice: "Isn't it good to use Tanah Lot Temple as a nursing home or kindergarten?"

If it's locked, it's locked, why do you still use the function? What kind of psychology is this?

Boss Zou was indignant: "Of course not! That's Tanah Lot Temple! We are ordinary people, and in front of the sea god, the village chief is also a common people! That's not where we ordinary people live, she is so blind and tossing, it's the people in the village who are unlucky! Human lives are at stake!"

Zhao Baoxuan heard the seriousness: "Something's wrong?"

Boss Zou's eyes turned red, and he turned his head to the side and snorted: "Hmph, she's just a piece of wood, sick! Who can blame her father for an accident? He accepted other people's money with a clear conscience, of course something will happen! We are good people, we want to go to sea, our ancestors have worshiped the sea god for hundreds of years, just because their family has an accident alone, the sea temple was sealed! The result is that the worship of the sea god has been canceled, and the village has not had a good time, one after another accidents, and people die every year, and last year there was a boat in the village that went out and never came back, a whole seven people!!"

They depend on the sky for food, and everyone has strong laborers to go to sea, and seven people are the pillars of three or four families!

Zhao Baoxuan was stunned, her heart was like a big stone, and she didn't dare to ask if she was missing or wrecked - if she had experienced this, she might have cried to death.

How much impact should such a serious accident have on the villagers!

Wait, Zhao Baoxuan thought about it, it's not right!

If the seven people disappeared together with the boat, shouldn't they call the police?

She can understand the pain of losing a loved one, but it doesn't have much to do with worshipping the sea god, right?

Is it irrational to anger the village chief?

Boss Zou said indignantly: "It's been a year, I haven't seen anyone alive or dead, and the village chief not only doesn't rush people to do things, but also wronged them and says that they have smuggled people!

Zhao Baoxuan was stunned: "Where are you going?"

Boss Zou said excitedly: "That's right, where can we go? There is no shortage of food or drink in Mocun, and when we go to sea, we can sometimes encounter fishing boats from other areas, and other people's boats are much worse than ours, and their lives are worse than ours.

"Haven't found it?"

"What are you looking for? I didn't look for it! If it had been reported that there was a wreck on it, she would have been unable to be the village chief for a long time. ”

“...... Can she hold it down?"

"Hmph, I can't hold it down, she thinks that someone above can cover the sky with one hand, hey, we have to sue the TV station!"

Zhao Baoxuan: "......!"

Therefore, when Village Chief Zou thought she was a reporter yesterday, her attitude was so unfriendly that it could be explained.

"Do you have any evidence of it? Making a big deal is not the solution. If there is evidence, you don't need to report it to the TV station, you can find the relevant department. ”

Boss Zou's eyes widened: "Where can I find evidence? Several lives are so inexplicably gone! Why are you helping the village chief speak?"

Zhao Baoxuan couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I don't mean to help anyone! I mean to say that when I go to sea, the village chief can't control it when I encounter strong winds and waves, and when the weather is bad, the maritime department can't rescue it, right?"

Luckily, she had heard Severn talk about sailing across the Atlantic Ocean alone.

The village chief's behavior does sound very domineering and unacceptable, but no one can stop natural disasters.

Boss Zou was excited: "It could have been avoided! We worship the god of the sea every year, and the god of the sea has an omen for us!"

Lao Zou's wife echoed: "That's it, if you don't worship the god of the sea, the god of the sea won't bless us!"

The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes.

Zhao Baoxuan pointed out the key question: "Worship the sea god can avoid the wind and waves?"

Ocean forecasting is still more scientific, right?

Maritime rescue is the real blessing!

Could it be that if you worship the god of the sea, there will be no shipwreck?

If you don't worship the god of the sea, let the boat disappear and make the Silver Beach community unable to sell?

She felt as if she was being taken into rhythm.

Boss Zou said: "Of course, the sea god said that it is safe to go out, even if it encounters a typhoon, our boat can avoid it no matter how thrilling it is, and the ship that comes back is never empty." If the sea god says that it is dangerous, we will not dare to go out if the sun is out and there is no wind, and those who do not listen to persuasion will have an accident. Our last village chief was a disobedient person! If something happened to him, blame the sea god for not bless him!
