There are threshing floors in the villages in the north, while fishing villages have drying fields, as the saying goes, 'three days of fishing and two days of drying nets', in fact, this should not just describe people's laziness, drying nets is a very important job for fishermen.

The two major functions of the drying field, one is to dry the net, the other is to dry the catch, dried fish fillets and all kinds of dried seaweed, are hung here to dry.

The drying field in Wangjia Fishing Village occupies half of the smaller area of the village, and behind the village is a huge drying field, which is simply a flat and wide dirt land, with many smooth wooden shelves for drying fishing nets and catches.

When he walked to the edge of the drying field, Wang Bo saw his father at a glance.

Bo Papa was an old fisherman in his fifties, whose skin had become dark and rough due to the years of wind and waves, and his hair was gray and his back was stiff, and he looked like he was sixty years old.

However, life at sea has tempered a man's physique, and Bo's father looks old, but he is actually very strong, and Wang Bo used to envy his father's strong muscle bumps.

At this time, the old man was chatting with a few old friends while sorting out the fishing nets, and someone saw Wang Bo first, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Hey, second brother, is that Xiaobo?" ”

Daddy Bo didn't reply, he quickly opened the tangled fishing net and said, "Xiao Bo is still in New Zealand, he only called yesterday ......"

"What a little bo." The other two also said.

Hearing what his friends said, Bo Dad hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the smiling Wang Bo, he was also full of surprise, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Son, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"I got on the plane yesterday, and I can't fly back in a day? Technology changes life, Dad! Wang Bo said with a smile, and came up to greet the elders in the village one by one.

He started to pack up the fishing nets, and the fourth uncle in the village said, "What are you still busy working here?" My son came back for the New Year, hurry back and prepare good food! ”

Seeing his son, Bo Dad was the happiest one, he laughed and said: "That's right, the fishing nets are almost cleaned up, you can help me get it again, I will take my son back first, and then call you and your brother to come to my house for a drink!" ”

Wang Bo added: "I brought a lot of food and drink back from New Zealand, fourth uncle, you all come over, taste foreign seafood, and compare it with the same taste here!" ”

Several people agreed, and the father and son went home happily.

For dinner, his mother did prepare him fried small salted fish with bud rice cakes, plus a pot of steaming small trash fish, and the authentic fisherman's dinner came out.

Wang Bo also steamed lobster and king crab, and he wanted to make two more dishes, but his parents didn't allow it, saying that they were kept for the New Year.

After returning home, his father saw these things he brought and scolded a few words, even if he had fished all his life, he was shocked by the seafood brought back by Wang Bo, and the king crab like a small pot lid was something he had never seen before, let alone eaten.

In winter, the sky gets dark early, and a family of three gathers around the stove, and there is an iron pot on the stove, which stews small yellow croaker, small partial fish, and small pomfret with a short palm, and the longest is a small mackerel, which is only a little longer than chopsticks.

The iron pan is surrounded by golden tortillas, and peanut oil is smeared on the bottom of the cake, so as the cake is steamed, the aroma of the oil also comes out.

The fish soup gradually warmed up and boiled, and the small trash fish inside gurgled and tumbled, and the delicious fish aroma gradually suppressed the oil aroma and tortilla aroma.

Wang Bo first scooped a bowl of fish soup for his parents, and his father pushed the bowl to him with a cigarette, saying, "Your mother and I have eaten enough of this thing, you eat, you eat it yourself." ”

The family didn't have to be polite, Wang Bo first drank a bowl of boiled fragrant fish soup, scooped a bowl and soaked corn tortillas in it, and picked up the fried salted fish and ate it deliciously.

When the son came home, it seemed that he was still mixing well abroad, and the two old men were in a good mood and had more dinner than before.

Wang Bo kept introducing New Zealand to the two of them, showing them the photos taken on his mobile phone, and the parents were shocked, they didn't know that the country still existed in summer......

After a good night's sleep, Wang Bo followed his father to the sea the next day.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household in the fishing village will go out to sea to catch some seafood for New Year's goods, and it is not possible to go to sea for a week before and after the New Year, which is an ancient tradition.

There are no big boats in the small fishing village, Wang Bo's house is a small sampan, as long as the wind and waves are a little stronger, he can't go to sea, and even if the wind and waves are calm, he can't catch much.

In most people's minds, the places that are closer to the sea seem to be the places that became wealthy earlier, but this is a misconception, because not all seasides are suitable for building seaports.

A seaside fishing village without a harbor cannot develop at all.

Catch seafood for sale? The ocean is the same all around, and who is it sold to? Moreover, in the past, logistics and freezing technology were not good, and the fish caught in bulk could not be kept fresh for a long time, and even if they were shipped out, they could not be sold at a price.

In Wang Bo's memory, until he was a teenager, there were few big houses with blue bricks and red tiles in his village, and it was a very difficult time.

Fortunately, in recent years, with the popularity of the tourism model of farmhouses and fishermen's banquets, the village has taken the opportunity to develop tourism and improve the economy.

His family's fishing boat is a large sampan boat, and the only modern place is the diesel engine in the back, and there is no shelter from the wind and rain on the boat, which will be blown by the sea breeze, and the skin on his face hurts.

Looking at Wang Bo's grinning, his father laughed: "How is it, don't you have energy?" ”

Wang Bo also laughed, since he went to college, he almost never went to sea again, and this feeling of the sea breeze blowing in winter has been somewhat forgotten.

The fishing boat drove some distance, Bo Daddy stood at the stern of the boat and cast a trawl net, and the next thing was to use experience to determine where there were fish, and then drag for a while and then put away the net.

Experience is important for local fishermen, most of whom do not have advanced machinery such as fish finders and underwater radars, and if they make a mistake, it means wasted energy and time and diesel.

The fishing boat dragged for fifteen or sixteen minutes, and Wang Bo put away the fishing net at his father's signal.

There are only a few scattered dragon head fish in it, the big ones are less than 20 centimeters long, and the small ones are not to be seen.

Bo Dad lit a cigarette and took two puffs, pulled the net and threw the small fish back into the sea, leaving a few big fish, and sighed: "Keep the stewed tofu, alas, this net is a loss." ”

Wang Bo smiled optimistically: "It's okay, you can't have a good yield on the Internet, right?" Dad, you go on the net, I have confidence in your experience. ”

Bo Dad shook his head helplessly and said: "The experience is not good, there are not many fish in the offshore waters, and several factories have been built on the beach in the past two years, and there are even fewer fish that can survive!" ”
