Chapter 150: Catching the Sea

There are still many problems in the promotion of sweet pumpkin in China that have not been solved, and more efforts and time need to be paid to really bring it to the market and accept the evaluation of consumers from all over the world.

At the very least, after the statistics of the village committee, except for the six sweet pumpkins in Gao Zhanjiang's house, no one in the village is planting this kind of pumpkin.

Therefore, if you want to put it into the market on a large scale, the first difficulty is to have enough seeds. Without enough seeds, there will be no way to multiply enough seedlings next year and provide enough pumpkins to supply the market.

The sweet pumpkins in Gao Zhanjiang's house have been confiscated, and the dozen or so pumpkins that are now bearing on the branches and the pumpkins that may grow in the future will be left as seeds.

When they are ripe, the seeds will be taken out, and Zhang Chunxiang will be in charge of the Yong Glass Greenhouse to grow another batch of seeds in the cold winter season, which will be used to expand the planting scale next year.

The sweet pumpkin matter came to an end for the time being, and Wang Yong resumed his daily state of reporting to the village activity center, reading books, and playing chess, very leisurely.

After breakfast that day, Wang Yong was ready to go out to read as usual. As soon as he stood up and walked two steps, the voice of his father Wang Hai came from behind him.

"Today is the 16th, there is a sea tide, I asked if the lowest tide is about 11 o'clock, do you want to catch the sea?"

"Catch the sea?"

Wang Yong suddenly appeared in the middle of the picture, a group of people chasing the rapidly receding waves on the beach, bending over, bowing their heads, and groping for something on the beach with both hands.

A flock of seabirds hovered over their heads, making a few melodious chirps from time to time, then folded their wings and swooped down from the air like arrows from a string, quickly grasping their prey, and then spreading their wings high again.

There are even some seabirds who are not afraid of people and have the courage to stand directly on the beach, blending in with the crowd. Moving his two thin calves, he lowered his head and pecked at all kinds of delicacies left on the beach and too late to push into the sea.

"When I was a child, my mother told me that the sea is my hometown, born by the sea, and grown by the sea......"

A pleasant singing voice reached Wang Yong's ears, interrupting his thoughts. Turning around, it turned out that my father had opened the imported CD at home, and the speaker through the link was playing this song that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to Wang Yong.

"O the sea. "Hometown" is the theme song of a movie filmed in the 80s that reflects the life of seafarers, and it quickly became popular because it is easy to understand, beautiful and sincere.

Especially in the Spring Festival Gala of the second year after the movie was released, after being sung by the famous singer Zheng Xulan, it became a household name overnight and spread all over the motherland.

When Wang Yong was a child, the loudspeaker in the village played the radio every time. This song is definitely one of the most frequently played songs. Even a three-year-old child who is just babbling can hum a few times.

"Go! Why don't you go! ”

Wang Yong happily agreed, stopped reading, and immediately prepared the equipment to catch the sea.

A fishing net. A bucket, plus a pair of sunglasses and a sunhat. After thinking about it, Wang Yong ran back into the house and pulled out a folding recliner.

Folding recliners look easy. A few stainless steel pillars, a few tarpaulin cut cushions, back cushions. After unfolding, it is enough for Wang Yong to lie on it, and the legs are supported by special brackets, so it feels too comfortable!

This thing is a rare object, and this recliner is still an authentic military product that Wang Yong snatched back from the old people in the sanatorium when he went to the Liujiagou Sanatorium.

It didn't take long for the family to get ready for the trip. This time, the whole family set out, and my mother personally served as the driver, driving her BMW, and drove to the beach contracted by the family in anticipation.

Along the newly built highway out of the village, turned onto the provincial highway line that was already a little dilapidated because of poor maintenance, and stopped all the way, it took more than an hour to ask for a hint of the sea breeze.

Through the car window, the vast blue sea has been reflected in the eyelids, and the scorching light of the sun hanging high in the sky falls on the sea, reflecting the golden light, and with the waves surging ashore one after another, making a loud noise, which can be heard clearly from a long distance.

Many of the people who came to the sea early were already sweating profusely and were busy working, and they didn't know whether they were basked by the wanton light and heat sun in the sky or because they were tired from the busyness of catching the sea.

A few unknown seabirds swept across the surface of the sea and quickly landed on the beach of the principled crowd, bowing their heads and quickly pecking at the small fish and shrimp left on the beach.

However, this is not the destination of Wang Yong's family, they drove forward for almost half an hour, and saw a vast beach in the distance, which belongs to their family, and is under construction.

At present, under the personal leadership of Professor Sun and several of his students, more than 20 villagers and more than 50 temporary workers are being hired in the surrounding area, and the beach is being renovated, and there is no real artificial cultivation of seafood.

The car stopped steadily, and as soon as Wang Yong opened the door, he saw Professor Sun's student who rushed to hear the news, Guo Qiang, the main person in charge of the future farm.

"Uncle Wang, aunt, you are here. The road went well, right? It's a really hard road! ”

Guoqiang is right, compared with the other side of the Gold Coast, which has long become a well-known tourist resort, the various infrastructure here is obviously too far behind.

A dirt road full of potholes of various sizes, on the way back, it really tested my mother's driving skills. At the same time, it also made my mother feel distressed, and her car was a big sin this time!

"Don't say it, don't you look at your aunt's face, I'm complaining about this broken road along the way! However, the county magistrate Zhang has promised me that the county will repair the road as soon as possible, and at the same time strive to pave the road with cement or asphalt from the beginning of next year. ”

"That's great! Otherwise, if we want to develop our farm, I'm afraid that the traffic problem alone will be enough for us. ”

After Guo Qiang finished speaking, he inadvertently saw that Wang Yong and his younger brother Wang Liang had already started to move things out of the open back box, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Workers hired by three passing farms from nearby villages also came to help move things, and soon all the items that the family had prepared to fill the trunk were removed.

At this time, Wang Yong had already trotted towards the already exposed beach with Wang Liang, who had been impatient for a long time. Many, many small crabs are gathering together and rushing into the sea.

"That's a lot of crabs!"

Looking at the small crabs densely gathered together in front of him and didn't know how many, Wang Yong couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion. This is the first time he has seen such a scene!

Wang Liang couldn't even see it, there were not only crabs left on the beach after the low tide. There were also shrimp, all kinds of small fish, and even a large barracuda weighing three or four pounds fluttering in vain on the beach.

"Big fish!"

The sharp-eyed Wang Liang also found the big fish, but because there were crabs with teeth and claws in front of him, he really didn't dare to step forward, for fear that these domineering guys would use those two iron tongs to give him a blow.

Wang Yong had so many scruples about him, and his feet in rain boots shook off his steps and rushed towards the big fish.

Along the way, the crabs that were originally dense as if they felt threatened, quickly separated, making way for a passage, and only a few unlucky guys were trampled into the sand by Wang Yong's big feet.

"Wow! Brother, you're amazing! ”

How high Wang Liangle jumped. cheered and followed behind his brother, and rushed in as well. At the same time, the small fishing net in his hand did not forget to sweep it on the beach, and suddenly, more than a dozen large and small crabs were trapped in the fishing net, struggling in vain.

Approaching the barracuda, which seemed to realize its fate and struggled more and more, Wang Yong bent down and held its head with one hand and its tail with the other. It was easy to subdue this big fish, which was already a little exhausted.

"Brother! Look at the crabs I caught! And a prawn! ”

Wang Liang, who followed over, glanced enviously at the big fish in his brother's hand, and then immediately raised the net in his hand to show off his harvest.

Wang Yong stretched out his fingers through the gills of the fish, carrying this one as if he was unwilling to fate. The barracuda with its tail swinging looked at the small fishing net in Wang Liang's hand.

Inside, more than a dozen small crabs, the size of bottle caps, are frantically struggling, trying to climb out of their cages and return to their homeland, the sea.

A shrimp that can only be three or four centimeters long has been squeezed by these rioting little crabs. The trampling was gone, and even the two pincers that were used for self-defense didn't know when they were all broken.

"Humph! With such a small crab, it's useless to catch it. It doesn't use any meat. Do you want to take it back and eat it? ”

Facing his brother's verbal blow, Wang Liang rolled his eyes angrily, then turned around and ran to his parents who were rushing over here. Needless to say, it's time to show off again.

Wang Yong carried the fish in his hand, returned to the shore, and when he saw Guo Qiang ushering over, he immediately handed him the fish.

"Brother Guo, this fish is yours!"

Guo Qiang smiled and took the barracuda handed to him by Wang Yong, put it into a breeding pond by the sea that had begun to take shape, and then turned back and followed Wang Yong to guide him on how to find crabs burrowing into the sand and teach him to know all kinds of different shells and conchs.

"Look at this, this is the oyster, the oyster you learned about in textbooks."

"Huh? This is a sea melon seed, don't look small, but the taste is very delicious, whether it is eaten noisy or boiled, it is very delicious. ”

"This is the prototype of Shopee!"

"This is a flute jumping fish, which only has a lifespan of one year, and when the weather starts to get cold around the beginning of winter, they will reach the end of their life. Our local small salted fish is made by nearby fishermen from this small fish, but this fresh fish is delicious after cleaning it and putting it in a frying pan! ”

"Those are clams, you see, these are clams, that one is a clam, and that one is a four-horned clam. Look, there's a jellyfish here, but you haven't seen this thing before, have you? (To be continued......)

PS: I heard that in the middle of the decades, people who rushed to the sea could get half sacks of small crabs in an hour or two. But now? The house can only hehe!
