Zhao Dahai moved his hands and feet, was a little tired after squatting for a long time, took a break after lunch, and began to deal with the rotten fish.

Rotten fish is not usually delicious, but it is excellent to make fish balls.

Wash the belly open, take a knife and cut horizontally at the tail of the fish and touch the fish bone, the vertical knife is changed to a horizontal knife, and push it up in the direction of the fish head against the fish bone, slice a whole piece of fish meat, and slice another piece of fish meat in the same way.

Zhao Dahai took a spoon and a big bowl, the fish was spread out on the cutting board, and gently scraped the fish paste, and the full spoon was thrown into the big bowl, and the small thorns were picked out when scraping.

Zhao Dahai was not fast, unhurried, it took almost an hour for the two pieces of fish meat to be scraped, and what was left were two pieces of fish skin and a bunch of small fish bones and a large fish bone on the side of the cutting board.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and pinched the fish paste scraped in the bowl for a while, it was very slippery, without a little thorn, took a little sweet potato flour, beat two eggs, the yolk was removed, only the egg white remained, and a little salt was added, stirring well.

Zhao Dahai called grandma Zhong Cuihua, someone has to help him boil the fire, one is to control the fire, in case the fire is too big, you have to add cold water to the pot. Make sure that the water is not boiled, just a little hot, if the fire is too big and the water is hot, the fish balls will scatter as soon as they are boiled. Control the water temperature on low heat so that the fish balls can be set.

Zhao Dahai grabbed a handful of minced fish, squeezed it gently, and a fish meatball came out of the tiger's mouth, and he took a spoon in his right hand and scraped it off and put it in the pot.

There are more and more fish balls in the pot, and they float into white pieces.

It takes a lot of effort to squeeze the fish balls, but it takes only half an hour.

Zhong Cuihua added a handful of firewood to the stove, the fire became bigger, and in less than a few minutes, the water boiled, and the fish balls with a little ash in the white tumbled non-stop. The fish balls are not large and are cooked in about five minutes.

Zhao Dahai scooped up the fish balls and soaked them in a large iron basin filled with cold water that had been prepared next to him.

Night falls.

The wind is getting stronger.

The treetops whined.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen and began to cook dinner. An hour ago, I put the fish balls and fish bones into the boiling water, took the seaweed and put it in, cut a little ginger, put a little salt, and the big bowl of meatballs and seaweed soup was cooked. The salted pork belly hanging on the kitchen stove was cut a little and a green vegetable was stir-fried.

"Grandma!"

"This fish ball is good! It's a pity that this nori is freshly dried and only half-dried. ”

"The taste is a little worse!"

Zhao Dahai filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Zhong Cuihua.

"Isn't there still a little bit of fish balls? Take the ice and ice. The seaweed will be delicious if it is dried for two more days. ”

Zhong Cuihua put a fish ball in her mouth and took a bite, and it tasted really good. People who go out to sea to fish don't pay attention to eating, they don't just fill their stomachs during the New Year's holidays, and they keep their time to work, if they don't do it for themselves, Zhao Dahai won't do this, and the fish balls are too time-consuming.

Zhao Dahai nodded, the seaweed is indeed much more delicious to dry for two days and then cook the soup.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard, the wind was blowing a little more strongly than yesterday, and he glanced at the sea in the distance, the white-headed waves were next to each other, and the waves were more dense and higher.

"Hey!"

"It's really trouble!"

Zhao Dahai is very depressed, this is the third day of rest at home, the sun hangs overhead and the sky is clear but the wind is blowing, there is no way to go to sea, this is the most helpless weather for people who go out to sea to fish, and even more helpless is that the sand tip fish is very good to fish and make a lot of money when they come to this weather, and they suffer heavy losses.

Wait until the weather is good to go back fishing?

I'm sure I'll go back fishing, but it's impossible to say if there's any fish!

Zhao Dahai flipped over the seaweed on the dustpan, it was so dry that it could be put away. Sell? The amount of this thing is too small, and it can't be sold for a few bucks, so it's satisfying.

Go to bed?

Can't sleep!

Who can sleep without making money?

It's not okay to go on like this, I really can't stand it.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the Dongtou reef belt, many people on it, they must be people from the village, they are too idle, they just stroll around the beach, and they can pick up fish at least stuttering.

Zhao Dahai continued to look towards the east of the reef belt, and vaguely saw a fish steak, stunned for a moment, and slapped the back of his head hard.

To the east of the reef belt is Paiwan Village, in front of the village is a bay, the position is relatively low, the water can be ten meters deep when the tide is high, and the sea water left at low tide is five or six meters, as early as ten years ago, fish, shrimp and crabs have begun to be cultivated, and the days are much better than Langtou Village and other villages around.

Fish steak breeding fish, shrimp and crabs, put feed, attract nearby natural fish, shrimp and crabs or fish that run away from the fish steak grid to gather at the bottom of the fish steak grid, the fish steak fish owner does not have this time to catch these fish, generally charge 30 yuan for the transfer fee to open to others to fish, no matter how much you catch can be taken away.

The weather of the windy and white-headed waves can't go out to sea, and there is nothing to do at home, so it's better to try the fish steak, and the big fish can't catch the small fish fishing point to go home for two meals, and save money to buy vegetables, isn't it?

It's only 10 o'clock in the morning, and there is time, just do it.

Zhao Dahai immediately turned around and walked back to the house, told his grandmother, went to the wharf to get a fishing boat, got a fishing rod, and rode a motorcycle to the wharf of Paiwan Village.

Zhao Dahai parked the car, asked someone, and found Zhang Defei, the owner of one of the fish steaks.

"You look like you're out fishing, aren't you? Why do you come here to fish? ”

"I can't go to sea in this damn weather, and it's a bit annoying to stay at home. I can't go anywhere else, only you Paiwan Village fishing row. ”

……

"Hey!"

"This white-headed wave is really a bit powerful, don't look at the fish rafts in our village are all in the bay, and many grids are broken."

……

"What do you have here?"

"Red drum fish and preserved fish."

……

Zhao Dahai took Zhang Defei's small fishing boat and got on the fish steak, the impact of the white-headed wave was very great, and the fish steak in the bay was shaky, and if he was not careful, he would have to fall into the sea.

Zhang Defei's small fishing boat was tied to the fish row, and he walked into the small house and never came out again.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and immediately started fishing.

The fish raft is tied with thick wooden planks and thick caryophyllus, and one after another pontoons are erected underneath, and the large frame is divided into small frames, each small frame is a five-meter by five-meter square, and the small frame is stretched with a mesh net woven with thick nylon thread that cannot be penetrated by the head of chopsticks to raise fish.

Zhang Defei's fish rafts are relatively large, more than 50 meters long and wide, and there are 100 grids, most of which are raised with fish, and there are only seven or eight empty, scattered in various places throughout the fish raft. This is a big deal. looks inconspicuous and smells fishy, and there is money in his pocket, not to mention earning hundreds of thousands a year.

Zhao Dahai looked at the grid carefully, and all the fish were red drum fish, some of them were more than twenty catties, very large, which had been raised for a long time, and some were just the size of a palm, which had just started to raise.

The growth rate of red drum fish is very fast, the size can grow very big, there are only big bone fish bones in the middle, there are no small burrs, the fish meat is relatively firewood, there is not too much taste, it is not very delicious to eat fresh, the pickled salted dried fish is very good, the size is big, and the gift looks very face-saving.

Zhao Dahai remembered the one he picked up in the reef area some time ago, pickled into dried salted fish, and now there is only a small piece left.
