Chapter 167: Follow the local fishermen to catch the sea
After coming to Nanguang for more than ten days, except for Zhang Ze, the rest of the people showed a little discomfort.
Not to mention the hotter and wetter weather, language communication alone stumped them.
Whether in the village or in the city, the people here basically speak Cantonese, and very few people speak Mandarin, so Zhang Qian's few young people who can speak Mandarin can't communicate normally.
As for Zhang's mother, every time she goes out, she even speaks and gestures, she doesn't speak Mandarin very well, and she speaks the authentic local dialect of Wenshui City, which can directly confuse people.
This is a dialect that foreign spies can't crack, and it is known as one of the most difficult dialects in the country to learn.
As for Cantonese, for the people of Wenshui City, as long as they listen more and the other party's speed of speech is not so fast, they can basically guess the general meaning of the other party.
However, everyone was mentally prepared before they came, and they were also studying hard.
In a Cantonese environment, learning is actually not so slow.
is like Zhang Ze, who originally only knew a little bit, such as pushing your lungs, holding your mother, and so on.
Now the mouth is:
Wow, you're baa, Gan Hi nuclear protrusion.
I've never seen a big fist in a sand pot!
Hold your head, believe in me, and I will raise your heavenly spirit to cover the!
This is the progress of language, and sometimes Zhang Ze has the illusion that he is not in Nanguang, but on Hong Kong Island.
However, both sides speak Cantonese, and he can not hear the specific difference now.
"Aze, don't go to sea, take my boat!" Zhang Ze came to the yard after breakfast and moved his body, and the three brothers Tong Yuanhang came over.
The two sides live very close, and it is much easier for them to come here than before.
"No, you guys go, I'll go to the river today to see the situation!" Zhang Ze shook his head and refused, it would take at least a month for his fishing boat to be renovated, and it was estimated that it would be about the same time when he came back from Hong Kong Island with Tong Shuyao.
As for Tong Yuanhang, they bought an 18-meter small trawler for 15,000 here, which, like Wenshui City, was also an unplanned fishing boat at the beginning, and it was kept in the warehouse and not sold.
The price is so high because the navigation and engine are better than the previous one, and the trawl can be used without a fish finder, so the price is five times higher than that of the previous fishing boat.
Fortunately, the three brothers did not earn less before that, although one person got 5,000 a lot, but it was not impossible to get it.
In the few months in Wenshui City, they did not become 10,000 yuan households, but they were almost there.
Their boat is currently one of the most conspicuous fishing boats in the fishing village, and the villagers basically use wooden hulled boats that are no more than 10 meters long, and can only fish in the offshore waters.
In fact, Zhang Ze and others lived in the fishing village, and the conditions were so good, there were indeed some second-rate people in the village who wanted to fight their ideas.
But when he bought the house, Lu Wenbin deliberately brought public officials to come, and the village chief warned him privately, so the people in the village were very enthusiastic about them, and those second-rate people who liked to steal chickens and dogs didn't even think of provoking them.
Although the second-rate people don't do their jobs, they are not fools to provoke these few people who can't be provoked at a glance.
If they want to make money, they will also surround Wei to save Zhao.
Like building a good relationship and then taking them to gambling or something.
Zhang Ze encountered this a few days ago, and after he said that he didn't go, he specially told Tong Yuanhang and a few people about it, so that they wouldn't be easily fooled.
"That'll do!" Tong Yuanhang saw that Zhang Ze really didn't want to go to sea, so he stopped persuading.
And he really can't do anything with him, at most he just fishes with a fishing rod.
Zhang Ze also didn't go for other reasons, he wanted to find out the situation of the surrounding waterways, and the fishing village on this side of Lotus Mountain was not far from the sea.
Fishermen go out to fish along the Pearl River directly into the estuary, and sometimes they don't necessarily go to sea.
Because the Pearl River is already rich in resources, fish in the sea often run over.
At the junction of fresh water, the fish caught in the waters with low salinity taste very good, almost no fishy smell, and even sea oil crabs have a very low chance of encountering.
So after a little activity, Zhang Ze took the fishing rod and walked to the nearby river.
On the way, he also met several neighbors who were weaving nets and mending them. One of them was weaving longlines, which he had ordered after he came, and there were six of them.
This time, there are two more, and the length of the branch line has reached 200 meters, and both the main line and the branch line are much thicker, which are used for deep-sea fishing.
With a fish finder, Zhang Ze certainly didn't worry about finding the fish. Deep-sea groupers and snappers in the South China Sea are easier to catch than in the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is not a lack of resources, but the location of many valuable fish is relatively far away, such as the well-known but very expensive Oriental sea bass, which lives on the continental shelf of the open sea, and ordinary fishing boats cannot reach it.
"Aze, are you going to the river to fish?" A thin young man named Jin Sanbao asked with a smile when he saw him.
It was Cantonese, but Zhang Ze could barely understand it now, and he stopped and replied in half-unfamiliar Cantonese: "Yes, the boat hasn't been renovated yet, so let's see if there are any fish on the riverside." ”
Jin Sanbao's family conditions are relatively poor in the village, because they are neighbors and have a good reputation in the village, so Zhang Ze handed over the longline to their family to do it, which can be regarded as adding some extra income to their family.
After going back and forth, the two families naturally became familiar with each other, communicated more, and the other party could now barely understand Zhang Ze's Cantonese with a little Wenshui City dialect.
"I told Ah Fan and them, I'm going to catch the sea later, why don't you come along?"
"Okay, let's go together!"
He didn't sail out with Tong Yuanhai because there were people on the boat and he couldn't use the space, and secondly, there was not much time for simple fishing, after all, they were trawlers, and most of the time they would drag nets to fish.
When the time comes, not only will he not be able to fish, but he will have to help.
Going to the sea with Jin Sanbao can not only understand the surrounding environment of the village through them, but also better integrate into the village group.
After a while, two more thin, dark-skinned young men came. They carried fire tongs and hooks in their hands, and a bamboo basket on their backs.
In the fishing village, almost all the men have a very dark complexion, and they are exposed to the sun every day, and none of them can be white, but some of the little daughters-in-law in the village who do not go to sea have not so dark complexions, but it has nothing to do with white.
"Hey, Aze, you're going to catch the sea with us today?"
"yes, aren't you welcome?"
"Why, but you don't have anything ready?"
"I'll go back and get it right away!" After Zhang Ze settled down in the bamboo basket, fire tongs and hooks, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives the next day to buy them all, and the family naturally had them.
Then he hurried home to get all his things, and put the fishing rod on his back basket and brought it with him, including a bamboo tube of tea that Zhang Mu had cooled early.
Nanguang drinking herbal tea is a local specialty, Zhang's mother recently followed the women in the village to learn how to make herbal tea, just to prepare for him to go to sea or catch the sea, and then a group of four people walked directly to the dock.
The other two people are named Jin Fan and Chen Xudong, and they usually have contact with Zhang Ze, so they are relatively familiar.
Jin Fan looked at Zhang Ze, who looked a little excited, and asked, "Aze, haven't you been to the sea before you came here?" ”
"Not really, but I've been there a few times. There is a little difference between that side and here, and no one wants seashells and some sea fish, so they can't be sold for money. ”
Zhang Ze has already figured out the aquatic station in the past ten days, the fishery here is more mature, and as long as you can eat it on the beach, you can basically sell it for money, but it is just a matter of price.
When they came to the wharf, they got on the small boat of Jinfan, Lianhua Mountain is not close to the sea enough, and if they want to go to a suitable place to catch the sea, they have to take a small boat down the river to Nansha District.
Sitting on the boat, Zhang Ze looked at the scenery on both sides of the river for the first time.
There are very few houses, and they are basically tidal flats, and you can even see large areas of rice fields after entering the Nansha District.
Nearby Zhang Ze saw basically the tidal flats, he thought that he was going to catch the sea on the tidal flats, but Jin Fan went all the way into the sea, and after driving for a while, he came to a golden beach.
"There's a beach here!" Zhang Ze was very surprised, he didn't expect to find a not small beach in the vast tidal flat area.
"That's for sure, if we don't catch blue crabs, we basically look for beaches and other places to catch the sea." Jin Sanbao said with a smile.
"Well, there's a lot of good things in the stone area over there." Chen Xudong pointed to the reef areas on both sides of the beach, "But this kind of luck is not as good as digging clams on the beach, and if you are lucky, you can also dig up sandworms." ”
Sandworms!
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up, there are only soil insects in Wenshui City, also called big earthworms, but there are no such more precious sand worms.
Then, he saw Jin Sanbao and the others take out a small homemade shovel from the back basket, and his face suddenly turned dark.
These guys can't afford to play, so they even engage in sneak attacks.
He didn't even notice that these guys had come with shovels, and they had made a mistake.
Jin Sanbao and the others found that Zhang Ze didn't move, staring straight at the shovel in the hands of themselves and the others, and immediately understood what the situation was, and they were a little embarrassed.
"I'll dig these sandworms next time, I'll go to the reef and have a look."
Jin Sanbao was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Zhang Ze to not bring a shovel, so he said, "I'll go with you!" ”
"It's okay, you dig yours." Zhang Ze waved his hand, and then walked towards the place where there were stones.
Carrying a bamboo basket on his back and holding a tongs in his right hand, he came to the reef area, removed a stone half-immersed in a small puddle, and was immediately pleasantly surprised to find a giant prawn.
Clamped it with fire tongs, and as soon as he raised his hand, Jin Sanbao's voice sounded: "Good luck, it's only such a big giant giant shrimp, this one may have three taels, right?" ”
Penaeus monodon can't grow to the size of a black tiger prawn, and three taels is already very big, but this kind of Zhang Ze has sold it, and the price is quite high.
However, the price of seafood in Nanguang Aquatic Station is naturally different from that in Wenshui City, and there are relatively few giant shrimp in the East China Sea, and the catch is not so high, so the price is naturally higher.
"It seems that I haven't come here to catch the sea recently, there should be a lot of good things, I'll look for it too." Jin Sanbao was also a little greedy, and began to look for it here.
Soon, he spotted an orchid crab hiding in a rock crevice.
The orchid crab is a little different from the ordinary pike crab in that the inside of its pincers, including its eight legs, are blue, and the pattern on its back is also a little different.
But he's only a little small, and it's estimated that he's only about four or two.
Seeing that they had gained something just after they came, Chen Xudong and Jin Fan also came over.
I didn't plan to go to sea today, and I was also going to dig some clams to go back to cook soup and save some money, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of things in the stone area today.
Soon after the tide recedes, there will be a lot of seafood in the stone area that will not have time to recede to the sea with the tide, so you can only stay here and wait for the next tide.
Even a lot of seafood will die due to the hot weather and lack of water.
No, Zhang Ze saw a small shark lying on his side on the reef, but the fishy smell told him that the shark had been dead for a while.
He did not ignore it, but picked it up with fire tongs and threw it into the water.
It's meat, and for some of the creatures in the water, it's food that falls from the sky.
Maybe no one has been here for a while, and everyone has a good harvest.
Zhang Ze soon found two orchid crabs that were doing some shy things, and during this period, he caught some jumping fish one after another, and the jumping fish was still very fragrant when fried.
As for whether he found the stone crab, he was not interested, if he really wanted to eat crabs, it was better to find an opportunity to release two blue crabs in the space, he had a lot of various stocks in the space, and the old turtle was still in the space!
The reef area was not large, and soon the four of them swept it through, and then each went to the beach to look for clams and other things.
Zhang Ze also found it on the beach, it doesn't matter if you don't have a shovel, it's a big deal to dig by hand.
The sand on the beach is not the same as on the seabed, because the water pressure becomes very hard, and the sand here is still easy to dig.
", sandworm?" When he dug a small cave, he immediately saw a wriggling pink creature inside.
When Jin Sanbao next to him heard this, he hurriedly came over, and when he saw the things in the pit, he immediately smiled: "This is not a sandworm, the sandworm is a lot thinner, and it is a sea intestine that is so thick." ”
"Sea intestines?" Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and found that it was so thick, it was really true!
He suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, he had eaten the sea intestine, but he hadn't usually touched it in its original form.
In his previous life, although he liked fishing, he really didn't go to the sea much.
There were also very few sea intestines to see along the coast around Wenshui City, so he didn't recognize them for a while.
Although the sea sausage is cheap, it still tastes good, so Zhang Ze still grabbed it quickly, slowly dug up the sand next to it, and then pulled it out.
"Aze, Abao, come quickly, there are a lot of intestines in the water."
Jin Fan's cry suddenly sounded from a distance, Zhang Ze and Jin Sanbao looked up and found that he and Chen Xudong had actually run to the position where the sea water was submerged, and each of them was holding a sea intestine in their hands.
The two hurried over, if there are many sea intestines, I want the whole sea intestine bibimbap today!
Taking off his shoes and stepping into the water, Zhang Ze really found a lot of sea intestines swinging back and forth with the waves, and just picked one up with fire tongs, the sea intestines immediately began to squirt, squirting out the internal organs in the stomach, just like sea cucumbers.
The group was in a hurry to pick it up, and soon everyone picked up a dozen.
