The body of this fish caught by children is narrow and flattened, the head is small and the snout is pointed, the mouth is large and the eyes are small, the back edge is black, the sides and belly are white with pale yellow, and the whole body is covered with small round scales, which is very beautiful.

Ao Muyang didn't know this kind of fish, but it was the first time he saw it, but someone in the village knew it and said that it was a New Year fish.

When they heard the name, the children laughed, "How is this a catfish? We caught a catfish in the lake, and the catfish has such a big mouth, like a toad, it's not a catfish." ”

"New Year, New Year's Year, New Year's Fish!" the old fisherman explained angrily.

Later, someone saw it and said it was a fish.

When Ao Muyang heard this, he wondered, isn't the eel just the yellow eel? This is the name of the south, and he now raises yellow eel, so he knows a lot of information about the yellow eel.

The man said to Ao Muyang: "It's not the fish you said, it's the fish that occupies it, the one who occupies it." ”

Ao Muyang asked hesitantly: "Zhanyu? Qingzhan fish? Isn't that a kind of herring? They can still live in fresh water?"

The salinity requirements for marine fish are quite strict, so after a rainstorm, those fish in seaside farms will die due to changes in salinity and pH levels.

The people in the village were anxious, shook their heads and said: "It's not Qingzhan fish, anyway, it's called Zhanyu, I've seen it at sea, it's a migratory fish, small fish live in fresh water, and then go to the sea to grow up." ”

The fish didn't look weird, but no one could say their identities exactly, so Ao Muyang went to find Su Penghui.

Professor Su, an expert in fisheries, took one look and smiled: "This is sweetfish." ”

Ao Muyang said: "This is the third name, some of the previous ones are called Nian Yu, and some are called Zhanyu." ”

Professor Su nodded and said: "These two names are right, sweetfish is an academic name, it is also called Nianyu and Zhanyu, these two are common names, there is a saying." ”

Then he explained to Ao Muyang and others that sweetfish are migratory fish in the estuary, living in streams that communicate with the sea and feed on benthic algae that adhere to rocks, so they will find them at the mouth of the river.

This kind of fish will gather in the gravel shallows in late autumn to ovulate, after spawning, they are weak and mostly die, and their life is extremely short, only one year, so they are called "year fish".

As for the name of the fish, it is because they have the instinct to occupy territory, whether wild or farmed, the fish will occupy the king, but the sea space they occupy is not large, only about one cubic meter.

But they are very strong, and there is no room for two tigers in a mountain within one cubic meter, except for a male tiger and a female tiger during the breeding season.

Ayu is a good edible fish, it is common in Dongying, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc., and it is true that they have not been found in Hongyang, and these fish should have come here from the north of Jiangsu and Zhejiang with a typhoon.

Su Penghui also said: "In the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, catching sweetfish is a very poetic thing, ancient fishermen generally drove bamboo rafts, drove cormorants to catch fish, a bamboo raft raised seven or eight cormorants, that day can catch twenty or thirty catties!"

Ao Muyang smiled: "Such a scene is indeed very poetic......

He wanted to recite a poem to meet the occasion, but he couldn't think of any poems about cormorants and bamboo rafts, so he deliberately considered the deer: "An old fisherman with white hair and white beard sits on a bamboo raft to drive cormorants to fish, come, give me a poem." ”

Lu Wuzhi was more straw than him, and after racking his brains, he said: "Uh, the small bamboo row is in the upper reaches of the river, walking on both sides of the towering green mountains?"

Ao Muyang said contemptuously: "If you don't learn, you can't do anything!"

Lu Wuyi was frustrated and said, "Then brother-in-law, you have a song." ”

Ao Muyang coughed lightly and said: "The eyes of the cormorant in the vast Sha Tsui, the water is soaked in the blue sky without a trace, and I love the reed flowers after the wet rain, and a fireworks fishing boat." ”

"What a poem. Su Penghui applauded.

Lu Wuzhi said stupidly: "Count you awesome." ”

Lao Ao is really awesome, he has a great memory, he urgently sent a message to Lu Zhizi, Lu Zhizi replied to him with such a poem, he read it twice and remembered it, but it can be regarded as talented.

Of course, it's a talent for pretending to be a force.

He also thinks that the artistic conception of this poem is very beautiful, there are sweetfish in the estuary, but there are no bamboo rows and no cormorants, so he can only think about it, and cannot put it into practice.

Ao Muyang pondered for a while and felt that this could be practiced.

The bamboo raft is simple, and there are many bamboos in the back mountain, and some old bamboos can be cut down to make bamboo rows;

So he didn't let the child catch the sweetfish, but prepared to make a landscape.

Cormorants used to be raised in the village, but later the state did not allow them to be raised, saying that cormorant fishing is too damaging to the fishing industry -- so far the people in the village have not figured out this reason, cormorants have destructive power on the fishing industry, what about factories and enterprises? What about the nets and power grids?

In short, the old fishermen in the village have the ability to raise cormorants.

So Ao Muyang had an idea, he found someone to contact the cormorant seedlings to buy some, and then gave them to almost the old fishermen in the village, and at the same time asked Ao Zhiman to tie a bamboo raft for them, and wait until next spring, he asked the old fishermen who had nothing to do to go fishing with the cormorants with the bamboo rafts.

It just so happens that in a season, the cormorant seedlings can grow up and work.

At that time, there are green bamboo rafts floating in the wind on the estuary and lake, and there is a white-bearded old fisherman wearing a coat and a hat on his head to drive cormorants to move on it.

This can be regarded as solving the problem of idle labor in the village, when the time comes, he will pay the old fishermen, and the old fishermen will drive the cormorants to catch fish and sell them to tourists, killing multiple birds with one stone!

He praised his wit.

There are not many sweetfish who come to the estuary, mainly because the estuary of the small river is relatively narrow, and the sweetfish like to occupy the territory and be the king of each other, so they can't feed too much.

However, it was man-made, he gave these sweetfish golden drops to ensure their lives first, and then prepared to buy some sweetfish fry to be stocked in rivers and estuaries.

Of course, there was no need to put the sweetfish back when he caught it, so he collected it from the children in the name of investigation and research, and when he got home, he boiled it in the pot.

Not to mention, the meat of this fish does have a unique aroma, but it is not very heavy, if it weren't for Lao Ao's exposure to seafood and being a professional chef, he really wouldn't be able to taste it.

After the storm, perhaps the government felt that the disaster had brought a lot of negative effects to the people, so they wanted to eliminate it, and then the city's price bureau, industry and commerce bureau, and fishery bureau took the lead in holding a Mazu temple fair in Qiantan Town.

The fishermen of the Red Ocean believe that the Dragon King does not believe in Mazu, but this temple fair was organized by the government, and it borrowed some models from the southern temple fair, so the name was also borrowed, and it was called the Mazu temple fair.

The Mazu temple has the meaning of praying for good weather on the sea, so it is no problem to use it here, because the essence of this temple fair is to appease the hearts of fishermen who have been hurt by typhoons.
