At the end of July, the tide is high.

The natural phenomenon of low tide is very common, and there is no unfamiliar person at the seaside, and the simple explanation is that it is a process of sea level falling, the sea water recedes into the ocean, and the seaside exposes the bottom of the sea.

This phenomenon is related to the sun and the moon, and it happens every day, and the villagers here in Ao Muyang call it a half-day tide, which means that there is a half-day high tide and a half-day low tide every day.

Compared with the ordinary low tide, the big low tide is relatively rare, and it only occurs at special times of the year, such as the high tide of the Qiantang River, and the big low tide in different years is not on the same day.

For fishermen, the annual high tide is a big event, which can almost be equivalent to the busy season of farmers, when every family has to go out to sea to grab fish.

When the time comes, not only the adults are busy, but also the children, the adults go to the sea, and the children go to the tidal flats after the low tide to pick up fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., and the whole family goes into battle.

However, this was a long time ago, and the offshore resources were repeatedly scarce, and now the big low tide has not made much of a big gain, and the big guys are no longer particularly busy.

According to the rules of the fisherman's house, Lu Zhizi gave the children a day off in advance, and some fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish will be left on the beach after the low tide.

Ao Muyang is not very interested in the big low tide, he does not plan to go to sea that day, the waves rolling at low tide are very dangerous, and this year the maritime supervision department and the fishery management department have issued regulations in advance, and the boat is not allowed to go out to sea to fish on the day of low tide.

Early in the morning, Ao Zhiyi repeated the regulations of the relevant departments through the loudspeaker of the village committee, so that some people on the street complained: "Why are you not allowed to go to sea? Finally, we can get some fish at a big low tide." ”

"Who do you ask me and I ask?" Ao Zhiyi snorted dissatisfiedly, he was the most active at the high tide every year, because his boat was the largest and most stable.

Ao Qianyao, a news source in the village, spat out a smoke ring and said: "The management above is getting stricter and stricter, this year is only a big low tide and will not allow you to go to sea, and it is estimated that a fishing ban period will be set up next year." ”

Ninety percent of China's waters are closed to fishing, usually from June to September, during which time no fishing is allowed to allow life in the sea to recuperate.

However, the southern part of the Red Ocean is fine, and a few poor towns such as Qiantan Town have privileges, and since ancient times, they have all relied on the sea for food, and there is no land in the village, no one to work, and they can only rely on fishing to feed their families.

Therefore, the government gave them a very humane approval, and fishing boats under 200 tons can go to sea, leaving a way for the fishermen to live.

When I heard that there would be a complete ban on fishing next year, someone immediately asked, "Is it really fake?" Qianyao, who did you listen to this news?"

Ao Qianyao snorted: "Who to listen to? Listen to what the party said, Wenchang is preparing for the civil service exam at home, isn't he? He is very concerned about these news......

Ao Muyang was listening to the neighbors chatting, and Lu Zhizi walked towards him with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

The general immediately ran over and wagged his tail vigorously at her, making the posture of wagging his tail and begging for mercy and servile knees to the fullest.

Lu Zhizi grinned, then took out a large bone behind him and threw it to it, and the general was satisfied with half a circle around the village, showing off nine times out of ten.

Seeing Ao Muyang, the female teacher asked, "Today's big ebb tide, are there any activities?

Ao Muyang thought for a while and said: "It's just that the sea water is retreating hard, it's not interesting, but you haven't seen it, I can take you to see it." ”

He took Lu Zhizi and the general to the entrance of the village, and the people in the village got up very early, and the sun had just come out, and the sky was bright, and almost the whole village gathered on this beach.

In addition to the villagers of Longtou Village, there are also people from the surrounding villages who come to the beach here, because they have a lot of harvest here, after all, it is the place where the legendary Dragon King climbed ashore when he ascended to heaven.

This point cannot be answered by superstition alone, Longtou Village is a treasure of feng shui, their village has the most fertile soil, their village is the closest across the ambergris lake, and the shallow sea area around their village used to have the most fish.

Ao Mufeng and his parents set up a shed at the entrance of the village to sell breakfast, steamed buns, dumplings, small wontons, fried dough sticks, oil cakes, etc., with a complete range of categories.

The low tide began after sunrise, Ao Muyang was not in a hurry, and pulled Lu Zhizi over for breakfast: "Yo, is there still raw frying here?"

Ao Mufeng grinned and said: "That's a must, pork and green onions, leeks and shrimps, brown sugar peanuts, herring meat, celery meat and three fresh fillings, all complete!"

Ao Mupeng looked at the breakfast stall with his hands behind his back: "This is raw fried buns?" ”

"You hillbilly. Ao Mufeng laughed.

Ao Qianlai, a simple man from the village, came with buckets and rakes, and when he saw the steaming food on the breakfast stall, he couldn't walk, and said, "Dapeng, I'm hungry." ”

Ao Mupeng said angrily: "What's the use of telling me, this stall belongs to Brother Feng's family." ”

Ao Qianlai looked at Ao Mufeng again, and smiled: "Brother Feng, I'm hungry, hehe." ”

Ao Mufeng said helplessly: "Don't call me brother, I can't afford it, you can buy it when you're hungry, I'll give you a discount, okay?"

Ao Qianlai immediately covered his pocket and shook his head: "No money, no money, I have to save my money, I know a capable person in the county, he asked me to save money and buy a Vietnamese daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Because of the lack of brains and the early death of his parents, this man has never married a daughter-in-law. Although he is not smart, he is not purely stupid, and he knows that he has to marry a daughter-in-law to be considered a family.

Ao Muyang saw that the clothes on his body were in tatters, and he felt some pity in his heart, and said, "Come on, Uncle Lai, you come to sit with us, you can take what you eat, I will treat you." ”

Ao Qianlai suddenly laughed: "Okay." ”

A plate of oil cakes, four big buns and a raw fried, he brought a bunch of things over, and finally asked for a big bowl of tofu brain: "Brother Feng, you decorate me with more tofu brains, add more noodles, give me more coriander and spicy ......"

"Then you want two bowls. ”

Ao Qianlai shook his head like a rattle: "That's not good, two bowls of money are more money, and you can't let Yangzi break the bank." ”

Ao Muyang smiled: "This is small money, it doesn't matter." Uncle Lai, what did you just say about buying a daughter-in-law? Don't let people cheat you!"

Ao Qianlai gobbled up the food after getting it: "Mmmm, you can't fool me, mmmm, it's delicious." ”

A portion of fresh meat and a portion of vegetarian three fresh fried belly, Ao Muyang was full and took Lu Zhizi to the dock.

At this time, the wharf was already crowded, and the wharf was even more busy below, and the big guys were fixing their boats to prevent the fishing boats from falling into the sand and being bumped and damaged after the tide receded.

Ao Muyang felt that the low tide was nothing to look at, this thing was not like a big rising tide, with the momentum of the sky falling apart and the grass and trees changing color, it was just that the tide was slowly receding.

As the sun rises, the yellowish waters begin to recede, revealing the bottom of the sea, which is stained with water vapor.

The tide drifted and shimmered, gradually leaving the shore.

The waves were slight, continuous, like strings, and they slowly shook and made a 'soo-swish' sound that carried away the seawater, as if the sea god was playing the harp.

At low tide, it is very rhythmic, and one after another waves move away from people, eventually revealing the sand and seabed of the sea
