Chapter 3: Fish Soup Rolls!

Zhao Dahai quickly calmed down, repairing a ship is indeed much cheaper than buying a ship, but it costs thousands of yuan no matter what, and it is not easy to make up this money.

How can you make this money?

Zhao Dahai frowned, he couldn't think of any good way for a while so he could only give up temporarily, stood up, and just wanted to turn around and go home, when he heard a "snap" on the sea not far away.

Hey?

Are there big fish here?

Zhao Dahai stared at the sea with wide eyes, pricking up his ears, this is the sound made when the fish rushes out of the water and smashes back when they are hunting, and those who can do this kind of thing are big fish, and they are fierce big fish.

"Smack!"

……

"Plop!"

……

Zhao Dahai thought it was coming from the sea at first, but after a few more sounds, he found that it was not, retracted his gaze, stared at the large and small reefs not far from him, and waited for a while, an arm-thick fish suddenly burst out, fell back into the sea in the blink of an eye, and stirred up a small splash.

Crab Tiger?

Could it be that there are crabs and tigers here?

Zhao Dahai was surprised and delighted. I couldn't see it very clearly, but I grew up by the sea and immediately guessed what kind of fish it might be.

Gobies look like catfish in freshwater, and generally grow in places where reefs are stacked on the seaside, even in mangrove forests, or even in mudflats where there is no water at high tide, and hide in rock crevices or holes. It is very ferocious by nature, not to mention that it is a fish, crabs are the main food, and "crabs can be eaten as fierce as tigers", which is the origin of its name. This kind of fish meat is delicate, delicious and less fishy, nutritious, very nourishing, can accelerate wound healing, is very suitable for caesarean section women and people who have undergone surgery, children who learn to walk can eat, can relax muscles and strengthen bones.

Zhao Dahai walked to the place where the high tide soaked in the waterline, turned on the flashlight, and looked carefully, the large and small reefs were staggered together, and the seawater poured in, forming water holes.

"Aha!"

"It's really a great place to grow crabs and tigers!"

Zhao Dahai observed for about ten minutes and concluded that there were 100% crabs and tigers, and immediately decided to capture them. Small ones are not rare, but the price of crabs and tigers above half a catty is very good, and they can definitely sell good things for money. This place can't be dug up, and even if it does, the crab and tiger don't know where to run, and the easiest way is to fish.

Zhao Dahai made up his mind, and immediately turned around and went home, the time for him to come out was not short, and if he didn't go back, grandma Zhong Cuihua would definitely be worried, sure enough, he saw his grandmother constantly turning around at the gate of the yard from a distance, and hurriedly shouted.

"Coming back so late?"

"It's been an hour since the tide was rising!"

Zhong Cuihua walked over quickly.

Zhao Dahai saw it, and hurriedly trotted over, seventy years old, it was night, it was terrible, helped Zhong Cuihua back to the yard, sat down on a low stool, did not say that he planned to repair the fishing boat left by his father to go to sea to fish, only said that he rested on the beach for a while, and then came back late.

Zhao Dahai took a large iron basin and took out a dozen stone crab net bags and put them aside, and poured out half a catty of snails and aconitum fish in the bucket.

"Yo!"

"These aconites are not big, but they are fat!"

Zhong Cuihua stretched out her hand and pulled it a few times.

"Huh!"

"Grandma!"

"You sit down for a moment."

"It's got to be fresh. It's not good to eat tomorrow at dawn. Roll a fish soup. Let's have a drink. ”

Zhao Dahai said as he took a knife and a cutting board and began to kill fish. During the day, it is white porridge and rice to fill the stomach, there is no meat, and it is late at night, the sea breeze is a little cold, drink a bowl of hot fish soup, warm up and sleep comfortably. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is old and has worked hard in the past two years, and her body is overdrawn, one has to rest more, and the other has to eat and drink well.

The fish is really fat, round, and the belly is full of oil.

Zhao Dahai will kill several fish in a while, the fish scales are scraped together, the bamboo basket is washed and drained, and he walks into the kitchen, adds water to the hot pot and boils, puts the fish, cuts two slices of ginger and puts it in, you can go to the fishy and cold, boil again, a layer of oily seeds floats, all of which are fish oil.

Zhao Dahai added a little salt, filled a bowl of soup and three fish, took chopsticks, and walked to the small table in front of Zhong Cuihua in the courtyard.

"I'm not hungry. Drink it! ”

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"Grandma!"

"There's it in the pot!"

Zhao Dahai said as he walked into the kitchen and came out with a bowl of soup for a while.

Zhong Cuihua smiled and picked up the chopsticks and put two fish into Zhao Dahai's bowl, and she only had one left, so she picked up the bowl and ate the fish and drank the soup.

Zhao Dahai didn't refuse, he ate fish and drank soup, beat his little grandmother Zhong Cuihua to hurt himself, give himself all the delicious and delicious food, he had to don't want it, he definitely couldn't eat well, he had to work hard, catch more fish and make more money, and live a good life, so that grandma could eat and drink spicy food and rest well.

Zhao Dahai packed up the pots and bowls, walked into the hall, and saw that grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets again, and saw that the time had passed eleven o'clock.

Zhao Dahai has been thinking about the goby fish on the reef, dragged out a wooden box in the corner, turned over for a while, found the fishing line and fish hook, every household in the fish village is not short of such things, drew the line and tied the hook, from the hook two fingers long line, clamp a peanut rice size of lead, behind the lead, leave about two meters long, the firewood knife cut a small piece of wooden stick around it to facilitate carrying, the crab and tiger hid in the reef hole, no fishing rod, hand silk on the line, tied ten pairs of spare in one breath, and then went to sleep.

Zhao Dahai got up early the next morning. Last night, I caught more than a dozen large and small stone crabs, washed them, lifted the crab covers, they were very fat, they were all red paste, ripped off the crab gills and stomach, cut them with a knife, divided them into four, boiled the oil in the pot, fried it, put the rice in water and boiled it over high heat, added a little ginger shreds, covered it for a while and opened it, a fresh fragrance rushed into the nose, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. Don't look at the stone crab as inconspicuous, no one at the seaside wants to pay for it, but it tastes really good, and it is excellent for cooking porridge.

Zhao Dahai walked into the hall with porridge, and grandma Zhong Cuihua had already gotten up at five o'clock in the morning to weave fishing nets.

"Grandma."

"When I was catching the sea last night, I saw crab gobies on the reefs at the east end of the village, which were quite big, and I was going to try to see if I could catch a few and sell them."

Zhao Dahai drank porridge while telling Zhong Cuihua that he would go crab and goby fishing for later.

Zhong Cuihua nodded, she can really catch a big goby, and she can indeed sell it for money.

Zhao Dahai quickly drank the porridge in the bowl, carried an aluminum bucket, stuffed a net bag and then brought the hook tied last night, immediately went out, arrived at the small wharf in front of the village, turned around, picked up a small half catty of small fish and shrimp that fell back from fishing in the morning, the sun had just risen for an hour, the temperature had come up, a full exposure to the sun, the smell was pressing, I couldn't eat it, but it was good to be a bait. For sea fishing, different fish use different baits, for example, sea bass fishing, live shrimp is good, but crab tigers include stone eels, stinky fish and rotten shrimp are the best.

Zhao Dahai walked across the beach and strode towards the reef.
