Chapter 118: This Time It's a Goby (Eighth Update)
After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he packed up a fishing rod, sea centipedes and other useful things, plus a small bubble box filled with ice, tied up the back seat of the motorcycle, put on a straw hat and went out to the fish wharf in Paiwan Village.
Zhao Dahai found a place to park his motorcycle, walked along the pier in the opposite direction of the sea and the bay, and saw a large area of fish ponds.
Paiwan Village's marine aquaculture is divided into two parts, one is to use the bay fishing raft culture, and the other is to dig fish ponds to pump seawater, the former is mainly to breed red drum fish, and the latter is to breed blue crabs and prawns.
Zhao Dahai held the fishing rod and held the box, walked along the road for about 20 minutes, and arrived at a small gate in a large ditch about three meters wide, which was specially dug out to irrigate seawater, built of cement and stones, as long as there is a breeding pond in the seaside village, this thing is almost indispensable.
Zhao Dahai tidied up the fishing rod, hung a spherical Apo buoy, hung a sea centipede with a pinch on the hook, threw it under the gate, and stuck to the cement wall of the gate, in less than ten seconds, a fish hooked, pulled up, a fish with a big head and a small body and two fingers big.
"Hehehe!"
"Looks like there are a lot of gobies in this place."
Zhao Dahai untied the fish and threw it into the foam box, re-hung the sea centipede, and continued fishing.
Today I went to the town to sell the fish that fell yesterday, there is only half a day left, there is no need to go out to sea to fish, when I was shopping for vegetables, I remembered that my grandmother Zhong Cuihua likes to eat goby braised tofu, the tofu has been bought, and I came out to catch some goby in the afternoon.
Sun Xiaozhi's incident just happened and it's not good to go out?!
Grandma Zhong Cuihua dared to take a kitchen knife, and there was no problem in taking care of herself. In addition, I can't stay at home for the rest of my life, don't go anywhere, and if nothing else, I have to go out to sea to fish. Remind grandma Zhong Cuihua to pay attention to safety, and close the door when she sees the stranger returning to the yard. You don't need to be particularly particular, the key is that you can't pay attention to it.
Zhao Dahai caught another goby in the blink of an eye.
There is only one word difference between gobies and gobies, but two completely different fish.
The size of the goby is relatively small, about ten centimeters long, and the largest is generally the shape of a big toe. The size of the goby can grow very large, one or two catties is not a problem. The goby has mucus all over its body, and the goby has no mucus at all. Gobies have scales all over their bodies and are coarse scales, but gobies are fine-scaled. The price of gobies is far more than that of gobies.
Goby actually tastes very good, but people at the beach rarely eat it. It's not that it's not delicious, but this fish is not large and very troublesome to clean. Places like gates are generally flooded in large numbers.
Zhao Dahai fished one after another, and in less than an hour, he caught three catties, all of which were big, enough for himself and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua to eat, put away the fishing rod and no longer fish.
Zhao Dahai stood on the small bridge at the gate and looked up along the ditch, on both sides were ponds made of stone and cement, and on the side of the dam were fish ponds one after another, raising gentian groupers, blue crabs or prawns.
There are many villages by the sea, one next to the other, all of them are close to the sea, some villages are a little better and very rich, and some villages are not in a good location and are very poor.
The geographical location of Paiwan Village is very good, relying on a bay that never dries, plus there is enough land to dig a sea pond for farming, and it is very rich. It's not that I don't sigh that the ancestors of such a place have vision, and they are really powerful, and the grandchildren of later generations will not worry about eating and drinking.
Zhao Dahai stared at the pond dam a few times, and found that where the water line of the ditch was attached, there were palm-sized stone cracks one after another.
Isn't this place a natural blue crab hole?
Zhao Dahai's heart moved, walked up the ditch for a while, found a place to go down to the waterline, carefully looked at a few stone cracks, and found a lot of crab claw prints, there are definitely blue crabs, there are ponds for raising blue crabs on both sides, I don't know how many ran out when changing the water, hidden in these stone crevices year after year, more and more, there must be a lot of big ones.
Zhao Dahai continued to move forward along the pond dam, and one or two steps were stone cracks, each of which was the size of a palm, and almost all blue crabs crawled over and left crab claw marks.
Zhao Dahai saw that the hole in a stone crack was flat in the middle and very smooth, and he reached out and wiped it gently, there was mucus.
"Huh?"
"This is the goby hole!"
Zhao Dahai stood up and shook the mud and slime on his hands.
The whole dam is very long, and there is no end in sight, at least a kilometer or two. They are all made of stone and cement, exposed to the wind and sun, washed by the sea, and all of them are large stone cracks and large stone caves. These places hide how many blue crabs and gobys are caught, and they are all sure to be big.
The rules of the seaside fishing village are very simple, so that there is no place where there is a master outside the pond dam, as long as it is from your own village, you can come to catch it, people from other villages cannot, you can come here to catch some goby fish like no one wants worthless things, and it is very likely to be beaten if you catch blue crabs and crab tigers, especially if you catch them on the pond dam.
Zhao Dahai was very greedy, but there was no way, he shook his head and walked back, took his fishing rod and foam box, returned to the dock to tie the back rack of the motorcycle and prepared to leave, and when he looked up, he saw a big yellow dog lying on the fish row not far away, sleeping with his eyes closed, and flicking his tail from time to time.
People are not as good as dogs!
Zhao Dahai shook his head, people have to be busy making money every day, dogs don't need it, and seeing a stranger come and bark twice is considered to be done work.
Hey?
Why didn't you think of this?
Gotta get a dog at home!
Zhao Dahai pondered for a while, and felt that this was really a good idea, one is that you can watch the house, and if a stranger comes, you must have scruples when you see a dog. In addition, I often have to go out to sea to catch fish. Grandma Zhong Cuihua spends most of her time at home alone, and the dog can be a companion.
Zhao Dahai rode a motorcycle back home at almost five o'clock, the goby really took a lot of effort to deal with, not big, scrape off the scales and open the stomach to clean, it took about an hour to clean the fish of about three catties, take a big bowl, and put a little salt.
Zhao Dahai walked to the vegetable field at the back of the house, picked the green vegetables, saw that the beans were as big as chopsticks, and when they were tender, he picked a handful of them in his hand, went back to the kitchen to wash them, the rice was cooked, and he began to stir-fry. The green vegetables are fried in oil on high heat, and there is some pork belly left at noon, and the beans are fried together. Fry two dishes, wash the iron pot, boil dry and put oil, it is so hot that it smokes, the tofu is fried first, and then the goby is fried, the tofu is put down again, put two bowls of water, boil for a while, put the soy sauce to enlarge the garlic and add salt, take out the firewood in the stove, simmer for 20 minutes with charcoal in the stove, and put it in a large bowl when only half a bowl of thick juice is left.
Zhao Dahai looked at the weather was good, there was wind, and it was blowing very cool, and he set up a table in the yard to serve the dishes, called grandma Zhong Cuihua to eat enough, and sandwiched shrimp, crabs, fish and tofu in the bowl in front of grandma Zhong Cuihua
"Grandma!"
"How about having a puppy at home?"
Zhao Dahai sandwiched a piece of tofu and stirred it in a bowl, mixed it with rice and took a bite, it was thick and salty, it was very delicious, and it was very delicious.
Zhong Cuihua knew that Zhao Dahai was worried that he was home alone, and it would be better to raise a dog, so he agreed.
"Okay."
"That's it. I'll ask if any of them want one. ”
Zhao Dahai ate a big meal, turned around and asked if any female dog gave birth to a puppy, sealed a red envelope and came back, it was really not good, go to the town one day to see if there is one to buy.
"Grandma."
"Those fish, shrimp and crabs in Paiwan Village are so fat!"
Zhao Dahai talked about the ponds and dams that he saw when fishing for shrimp and crabs in the afternoon.
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"You don't need to go to sea to make a lot of money."
"Someone in our village tried to get the idea, but they didn't get it."
Zhong Cuihua nodded.
"Huh?"
"Someone in our village is doing this?"
"Why am I not impressed?"
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment.
"It was more than ten years ago!"
"You were young at the time, and you don't remember, but you know the place. Our village is near the mangrove forest, didn't you often go there when you were a child? ”
Zhong Cuihua sandwiched a goby and said don't do it next time, it's delicious but it's too hard, and it takes an hour or two to cook it when you come back from fishing in half a day.
Zhao Dahai suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a place, big rocks and cement blocks, and the children in the village liked to go to that place very much to play, climb up and down or something, and they hadn't been there for many years when they grew up, and they almost forgot it.
"Why didn't you get it?"
Zhao Dahai was a little curious. Farming is a big money thing. No one does it, and some people don't do it, and they don't know what happened.
"I don't know why. If you want to know, ask the second grandfather. ”
Zhong Cuihua shook her head, she really didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything about it, he went there another day, finished dinner, packed up his things, and went to sea to fish tomorrow.
