Zhao Dahai returned to the village, kept one of the fish he brought back, and gave the rest to Zhao Shi, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin heard that they had earned more than 1,000 yuan, and they were very envious, this is much better than staying at home, but tomorrow the fish row will definitely be full of people, even if they can catch it, they can't catch much, the artificial breeding of red drum fish is not a valuable commodity, three or five can't make money, and they gave up after thinking about it and continued to stay at home.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, he didn't eat at noon, ate early in the evening, and started cooking at less than five o'clock in the afternoon. A large fish is divided into two halves, one half is now eaten, and the other half is salted.

The fish meat of the red drum fish is relatively firewood, there is no taste, there is only one way to make it delicious - braised it, the cooking method is very simple, the big iron pot is washed, the pot is boiled dry and the oil is smoky, the red drum fish meat cut into large pieces is put down, fried until browned, the large pieces of ginger and garlic, water, soy sauce and salt are boiled together, and the heat is boiled for 20 minutes.

Zhao Dahai lifted the lid, there was a lot of juice left in the pot, soaked in fish pieces, smelling very good, the green vegetables in the vegetable garden grew violently every day, and they couldn't eat it all.

Zhao Dahai finished dinner, the other half of the salted red drum fish was dried, it was salted fish when it was dry, and it could be eaten at any time when it was wanted, and he went out for a trip, spent thirty yuan on the discharge fee, earned 1,300 yuan, brought a few fish back to give it away, and ate a full meal by himself, which was very cost-effective.

Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Cuihua walking to the back of the yard with a small bowl of leftovers, and followed, the family raised chickens, and the leftovers that could not be left for tomorrow were not wasted.

Zhong Cuihua didn't approach the chicken pen, the chickens inside had already rushed out, and they had been fed for a few days, and they knew that there was something to eat at a glance.

Zhao Dahai took a look, and the chickens he bought back were the same every day, almost twice as big as the one he had just bought. Several of the little roosters have begun to grow wings, and the comb is different from the other chickens.

"Grandma."

"I don't need to buy chickens during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Dahai estimated the growth rate of these chicks, and there were a few months before the Chinese New Year, and they would definitely be able to catch up.

"This chick is growing well."

……

"I will definitely be able to eat it during the New Year."

……

"Leave two hens and a rooster, and the eggs laid can hatch chicks, and they will be raised next year."

……

Zhong Cuihua watched the chickens grab food and chattered.

Zhao Dahai walked into the vegetable garden, the longer the greens, the better, the whole piece is all, looking at the green, very gratifying, cucumbers and loofahs are already the size of a child's arm, beans are already as long as chopsticks, three or five days to eat, walked around and walked to the corner, unscrewed the faucet and dragged the hose to water the vegetables, the lychee longan planted on the side of these fruit trees can not be forgotten, this is the fruit of grandma Zhong Cuihua's great-grandson, you have to take care of it.

After Zhao Dahai finished pouring the vegetables, he didn't have time to eat the old vegetable leaves in the vegetable field, picked them again, and threw them into the chicken pen to feed the chickens.

Night falls.

The fishing village fell silent.

Zhao Dahai sat on the stool, wondering whether to buy a TV or at least a radio, and there was a sound when grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shook his head and said that it didn't cost this money.

Zhao Dahai didn't continue to talk about this, and made up his mind to see what to buy when the town went around the town, and this matter had to be cut first.

The sun hung high in the sky, and the white flowers pierced the eyes.

The sea is calm.

There was not a hint of wind.

Zhao Dahai took the fishing rod, stopped at one meter of recovery, and waited for a few minutes without movement and recovered another meter. The white-headed waves lasted for a full five days, and early this morning, the fishing boats at the pier, whether they were fishing or fishing, had long been unable to stand it, and they all poured out immediately regardless of the time of going out to sea.

No fish!

Not a single fish!

Zhao Dahai took back the string hook, the sea centipede hanging on the hook was intact, replaced it with a fresh one, moved the fishing boat, chose a new position and threw it out, and after fifteen minutes, he was very helpless to take it back.

No fish!

Again, there are no fish!

It was almost twelve o'clock now, and not a single sand tip fish had been caught all morning.

Zhao Dahai looked down at the sea on the side of the boat, there was no wind or waves, it was very calm, but the water was very turbid, like yellow mud soup, the sand bottom was like this, let alone other places.

Zhao Dahai vaguely heard someone scolding his mother, looked up, ten meters to his left, there was a fishing boat scolding, greeting God and the Sea Dragon King, the people who went out to sea to fish or fish in the morning were the pillars of the family, the old and the young were waiting for the meal, the pressure was very high, this is not to catch the fish can not stand it.

Zhao Dahai glanced around, more than a dozen fishing boats like himself came here to fish for sand tip fish, not only did they not catch fish, but these fishing boats did not catch fish.

What to do?

Nothing can be done!

Able to stiffen the scalp!

Sunset.

Zhao Dahai returned to the village wharf, and the fishing boats that went to sea in the morning came back one after another, parked the fishing boats and turned around, especially the familiar fishing boats of Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou, all of them had no fish, and the wharf was scolded.

Zhao Dahai cleaned up the fishing boat, washed the deck with seawater, went home to eat and sleep, didn't catch fish and made no money, and was not in the mood at all.

Zhao Dahai opened his eyes at three o'clock in the morning, couldn't sleep anymore, got up and cooked breakfast, cleaned up and went out after eating, and looked at the sea water at the dock, the miracle did not happen, the sea water was almost as turbid as yesterday, there must be no fish.

Zhao Dahai got on the fishing boat, started the diesel engine and drove out, there are fish and no fish have to go out, maybe there is a chance to go out, there is no chance to stay at home, however, after half a day, I found that it is more cost-effective to sleep at home, and only the fuel and labor are tired when going to sea, and there is no chance to make money at all.

Zhao Dahai stood up, moved his right hand, and kept throwing strings of hooks and collecting strings of hooks for the past two days, there is nothing to say about fish, no matter how tired and sore, it is worth it, but there are really no fish.

After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he looked at the two little finger-sized sand tip fish in the living cabin, drove the fishing boat away, and rushed to the sea area where the pile was fishing for black sea bream in an hour.

"Plop puff!"

……

"Plop puff!"

……

"Plop puff!"

……

Zhao Dahai shook the bamboo pole in his left hand, knocked on the wood on the side of the boat, made a rhythmic sound, held the fishing rod in his right hand, stared at the rod with his eyes, and bent down sharply in anticipation without appearing, without shaking.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sun hanging in the west and almost falling into the sea.

You can't catch a sand tip fish, and you can't catch a black stake fish.

Today is another busy day.
