The trip that was originally planned to be three days can now only be compressed into one day.

Xiang Bei knew in his heart which was more important: as long as the two of them rested here, they could come back at any time to reunite, but if Luo Jingchen left, it would be difficult to find him again. Thinking of these, Xiangbei's gratitude to Fat Dong came spontaneously. Although the two are not strangers, they are not close friends. A CEO who runs a national media company would still be thinking about such a trivial matter.

Quality in the details. The success of this little fat man is not accidental.

Early the next morning, Xiang Bei called the staff of the Binhai City Rest Garden to confirm the specific time and details of the relocation.

Everything was agreed upon. Went north for a simple breakfast, went directly to the front desk on the first floor to check out, came out of the hotel, took a taxi, and went all the way along the esplanade serpentine, although after a few traffic lights, the road conditions were also smooth.

Compared to the blue sea in the south, the coastline of Marina City is not beautiful. On one side of the road, in addition to the sea, there are mostly unexplored virgin lands and tidal flats used by fishermen for aquaculture. These tidal flats are divided into pieces like farmland, and they glow silvery in the sunlight, and at first glance you think they are asphalt roads.

China has a vast land and a long coastline, and if you follow the coastline all the way south from here, it is not difficult to find a map on the tip of the tongue: Jiaozhou Bay and Laizhou Bay in Shandong, famous for Chinese prawns, barracudas, treasure fish, sea cucumbers, sea rainbows, octopus and so on in Bohai Bay. Qidong and Nantong in Jiangsu Province are famous for their various shellfish such as cockles, clams, red shellfish and kelp. Zhoushan and Wenling in Zhejiang are famous for their seafood such as hairtail, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, cuttlefish, pomfret and pike crab. Zhangzhou and other places in Fujian are famous for seaweed, abalone, large yellow croaker, flat crab, small tube, giant shrimp, noon fish and yellowfin fish. Guangdong is famous for mackerel, white pomfret, golden pomfret, oil ribbon fish, orchid crab and so on.

Just like Daxing watermelon, Wuchang rice, Zhangqiu green onions, Changbai Mountain ginseng, and Gannan navel oranges, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and one side of the sea produces one side of the seafood.

Whether seafood is better in the south or in the north has always been a topic of debate. Foodies in the south look down on seafood in the north, and foodies in the north look down on seafood in the south.

Northern seafood usually has a long growth period, grows slowly, and the smell of the sea is strong, and many are caught in the ocean, relatively deep sea, however, there is too little live, the fish want to eat more for burning, due to the long storage time, the volume is small, the meat is delicate, the nutrition is rich, the yield is too low, and the price is more expensive.

Due to the large output of southern seafood, it is supplied to the whole country, and the southern seafood is mainly light in taste, and light in the aftertaste, delicate in taste, less miscellaneous flavor, and fresh, which is also the reason why southern seafood can occupy a dominant position in China.

In terms of seafood cuisine, there are differences in the eating habits of the north and the south, and there are also differences in cooking methods. Northerners eat seafood with a heavy taste, mostly braised and stir-fried, and some are made into seafood dry pot and spicy flavor, which is particularly popular. The practice of seafood in the south is generally to pay attention to the freshness of the ingredients and the light taste, so most of the dishes are steamed, and there are raw fishing, which retains the most natural umami of seafood to the greatest extent, and does not put too much sauce on the seasoning, generally sauce, garlic, vinegar and dip to eat.

Eating is a science. When he was young, he also traveled south to the north, eating and drinking in the sea. In his opinion, although the sea in the north is not as beautiful as in the south, the seafood in the north is indeed more delicious. No way, who made himself a northerner. If you were born in the South, I'm afraid it's another conclusion.

"Crackling...... Crackling ......" The crisp sound of firecrackers sounded on the beach not far away, and the sound was sometimes rapid and sometimes undulating. Immediately afterwards, thousands of "open thunder" thunderbolts fired in unison, accompanied by a long whistle, rising to the sky and exploding into a brilliant fireworks.

This movement will wake up from the association to the north.

He stared intently

, the sound came from a piece of fishing boats docking. One hundred and ten fishing boats resemble neatly parked rows of vehicles in a large parking lot, their hulls painted in blue and the national flags on their sails torn by the sea breeze.

The shore is crowded and lively.

"It's fishing!" Before Xiang Bei could ask, the driver replied first. The sea not only nurtures the people, but also forms a unique coastal accent. The driver spoke a thick coastal dialect.

"Fishing?"

"Yes, our sea is closed from May to September every year, and the fish and shrimp have been fattened in these four months. After the start of fishing, the fishermen begin the autumn harvest, and then the harvest and the sea go out to sea, and they will be busy until the end of the year. ”

Regarding the fishing moratorium and fishing, Xiang Bei also interviewed and wrote some reports when he was a reporter. But this is the first time I have experienced fishermen's culture up close like this. This is completely different from the feeling of "facing the loess and facing the sky" in his hometown.

"It's still early, they're just offering to the sea and offering to the sea, and when it's noon, the boats will set off in order, and it's a spectacle. The driver said.

No need to guess, he should be a native of the sea, and he knows the local culture well.

"Yes, it's a pity I can't see it this time. When you have the chance, you must enjoy it," Xiang Bei said, "I hear that your accent is also local, and you are not very old, why didn't you do this business?"

"Not now, although the sea is full of treasures, and when you catch it, you can find gold and silver. But that was ten or twenty years ago," the driver sighed, "I was born at the wrong time!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"There have been no fish to catch in the coastal waters for a long time, and there are not even a few fishing villages left! Most of the fishermen now earn their money from subsidies for fishing boats. Besides, although I earn a lot by going to sea to fish, it is too hard, and I earn 108,000 a year by driving, although it is not much, but my life is comfortable. You can't just make as much as you want, you have to enjoy it, don't you say?"

"Isn't it just waiting until the fish and shrimp scallops grow up, and then sow them out and fish them out?" Xiang Bei's words aroused the young driver's interest.

The driver came to the driver: "This gentleman, you don't live by the sea at first glance." In the past, those fishermen of the older generation went out to fish, and they called it 'going out to sea'. You see, the sea is full of gold, but it is all in exchange for life. It is much riskier to ask for money from the sea than from the land. Even now, not everyone can come back from going to sea every year. Therefore, when you go to the sea, you must dare to break through! People who break into the sea have a kind of spirit, and the sea treats them with wind and waves, and they will fight back with wind and waves!"

The driver's words were full of fighting spirit. It can be seen that although the driver does not eat the sea, he protects the sea and has complex feelings about the sea. This reminds Xiangbei of a famous quote from an American movie: "When life fucks you, fuck it back—— if life is fucked up, it's colorful!" Life is like this, people live a lifetime to put it bluntly, is to fight, to fight against nature, to fight against people, to fight with society, if you want to win, you must first be strong.

Walking forward with the beautiful scenery on such a coastal avenue, the nerves that had been tense for a long time to the north relaxed, and I fell asleep without knowing it.

"Sir, it's time for the place......" The driver whispered to wake up to the north.

"Oh, so fast, thank you. Xiangbei rubbed his eyes, picked up the package and got out of the car, "Master, you just wait for me here." ”

Xiangbei spent 200 yuan to charter the back and forth of this car.

Dragged a large bag and a small bag to the north, and there was a stone monument erected beside him: Jingkou Village. On the back is a section of the village chronicle of Jingkou Village: during the Ming Dynasty, the surname Zhang moved from Tanshan to establish a village, because it is located in the mountain pass and has a well, so it is called Jingkou.

Most of the rural areas on the eastern coast of Bac Giang province are typical of blue bricks and red tiles. Although it is a mountainous hinterland, but

In the past, there was no shortage of people who became rich in business, so there are also many exquisite ancient buildings.

Preparations for the relocation of the tomb had been made a few months ago, and even the stele had been carved. To the north, all you have to do is to let the two urns live in the new home, and then set up the sacrifices prepared in advance, sign them, pay the money, and complete all the formalities.

Xiangbei swore when he was in prison that he would never shed any more tears in this life, but the moment the two urns were slowly placed in the tomb, his heart suddenly twitched, and tears kept pouring up from his heart, as if Zhou Xuecen and Nuo Yi had just left him.

"Wait a minute. Xiang Bei stopped the staff and took out a small square box from his bag, which was a yellow toy car, and he gently placed the car next to the urn, "Go ahead." ”

The staff slowly sealed the tomb.

"Xuecen, this is our new home," Xiang Bei put two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone, took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe the soil on the stele, "I remember the first time we went to the beach, you looked at the sea, the whole person was like a fool, you said you like the sea, you also said, if you go before me, let me bury you by the sea." ”

Thinking of this, Xiangbei's nose was sour, and tears fell again: "Look, there is the sea in front of here, at the foot of this mountain." This is a good place, with mountains and water, and you and Nuoyi will not feel lonely. By the way, I also prepared a small car for Noyi. This kid doesn't say a word when he leaves, and I don't know if he likes it or not. ”

Xiangbei sighed. With the sealing of the new tomb, Xiangbei suddenly had a feeling in his heart that Hedong City was full of various memories of a family of three, happy, sad, and fearful...... But now it's all about this family. Getting here, there is only happiness.

"I'm afraid that when I die, no one cares and no one asks, and I can't scary my rotten flesh on the road. So, I also bought my own tomb, right next to you. You won't blame me for not consulting you. I've been around here for the past few days, the scenery here is good, and when I'm done with things in Hedong, I'll come to accompany you. ”

The matter of moving the tomb was properly handled, and I took a train north directly to Binhai Station, which took more than an hour on this trip alone. In contrast, the convenience of high-speed rail is more and more impressive. Before it got dark that day, he returned to Hedong City.

"Fat Dong, I'm back!" Xiang called Fat Dong to the north.

Fat Dong: "So fast!

Xiang Bei: "Yes, tomorrow we will go to Nanshan Forest Farm! Do you have time?"

"Tomorrow?uh...... I have other things to do, Brother Xiang, I can't go! If necessary, I will arrange for someone from the company to go with you. "Fat Dong didn't expect to be in such a hurry to the north, his schedule was too full, and he set a temporary time, basically no play.

Xiang Bei: "No, you're busy." ”

Fat Dong: "I've already told Fang Yi, she should have time!"

"Okay, I'll ask her. ”

As soon as Xiang Bei hung up the phone, Luo Fangyi called. The two of them seemed to have discussed.

Luo Fangyi: "Master, Fat Dong said that you are going to Nanshan Forest Farm tomorrow, and I will go with you." ”

Xiang Bei: "Tomorrow is not the weekend, do you have to go to work? Don't go, I can handle it myself." ”

"It's okay, I've already asked Qu Changguo for leave, and I said that there is something at home. Also, I'm afraid that Luo Jingchen's dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, so I asked my brother to follow!" Luo Fangyi's attitude was resolute, which was beyond Xiangbei's expectations.

Xiang Bei: "Your brother is going too?"

Luo Fangyi: "Yes, he is a police officer after all, and if there is any emergency, it will be easier to deal with it." Master, if I didn't discuss this with you in advance, you won't be angry, will you?"

Xiang Bei: "No, after all, your brother also understands the situation, and I am also down-to-earth with him." ”

Luo Fangyi: "Okay, I'll drive with my brother to pick you up tomorrow morning!"
