The sun rises and the bamboo pole is high.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the courtyard door, condescendingly looking at the wide sea from afar, the sea breeze blew, lukewarm, very comfortable, these three days have not been out to sea, has been staring at home is drying fish glue, this is a meticulous work, you have to turn over from time to time to change the side, grandma Zhong Cuihua is old, you have to come by yourself. Sun Er has come to see him once in the morning and evening these days, and he must take care of it and not be careless.

Zhao Dahai turned his head to look at the fish glue hanging on the shelf not far from him, under the sun, the orange and yellow color was slowly revealed, and there was a big fish more than one meter five hanging next to it.

Zhao Dahai heard the sound of the car engine, looked back, it was Wu Weimin's car, needless to say, this is to hear the news that he caught a hundred-pound big fish rushed over, want to see if he can buy it, these days a lot of people have come, see that the fish has been killed to take the glue, do not give up, there are people who want to buy dried fish, there are people who want to buy fish gelatin, there are people who want to buy fish gelatin, the price is not low, all let themselves block back.

"Boss Wu."

"What the hell is this blowing that is urging you to come?!"

Zhao Dahai walked to the front of the car, and Wu Weimin just pushed the car door and walked down.

"Hah!"

"I heard that you caught a big fish that weighed more than 100 catties, and you rushed over with a fart."

Wu Weimin and Zhao Dahai have dealt with each other a few times, old acquaintances, straight to the point and said what they meant, and as soon as they finished speaking, they saw the dried fish and fish glue drying on the shelf next to them, and immediately rushed over.

"Yo!"

"This fish is so big!"

……

"It's going to be as high as my neck!"

"That's an exaggeration, how the hell did you catch this fish!"

……

"Hey!"

"Tut-tut!"

"This fish gelatin is incredible!"

……

"It's full of gelatin!"

……

"The person who took the glue is really powerful, an old craft, too complete, very clean, and there is not a trace of impurities left!"

"There aren't many people who have the ability to do that now."

……

Wu Weimin's eyes widened, and he kept muttering as he spoke.

Zhao Dahai was a little curious and asked Wu Weimin how to see the quality of fish gelatin, especially how to see the gum inside.

"The first important thing about fish gelatin is its thickness."

"If you don't have enough thickness, the gelatin will definitely be a rag."

"The bigger the fish, the thicker and longer the gelatin."

"The length of this meter or so is more than fifteen centimeters at the widest point, and nearly ten centimeters at the narrowest point."

"The thickest part of the gelatin head is almost two centimeters thick, and the thinnest part is more than a centimeter."

"It's seven or eight minutes dry that has been dried."

……

"Do you see a trace of texture in this fish gelatin?"

"These are the pipes, the places where the gum is stored."

"Good fish gelatin, such textures, or dense pipes, are very dense."

"If you look closely in the sun, you can see the gelatin inside."

……

Zhao Dahai looked at the hanging fish glue carefully, there were really thin lines like pipes running up and down one after another, it was very clear and obvious, and when the sunlight passed through, he could see that there were solidified things in these pipes.

"Tut-tut!"

"I don't know how many fish gelatins I've seen, this one is the best I've ever seen, not only is it big, the key is that these pipes are very dense, and the other is that the gelatin inside is stuffed full."

"I've seen fish gelatin bigger than this, but the quality is very poor, the pipes are very sparse, and the gum is very small."

Wu Weimin's eyes lit up, as a chef of a top private restaurant and a chef specializing in seafood, the top dry goods such as fish gelatin, abalone and sea cucumber have been studied very deeply, and I don't know how many cooked fish gelatins have been cooked, they are all top goods, but they are all not as good as this one in Zhao Dahai's hands, this is a collection-level thing, not that money can buy it.

"Not for sale!"

"Fish gelatin is not sold, fish head stones are not sold, and this dried fish is not sold!"

Zhao Dahai looked at it, Wu Weimin turned his head to look at himself, knowing what he wanted to say.

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"This kind of thing can't be cooked and eaten casually, it's really a waste."

"You can't keep it to yourself, can you? This thing is indeed a good thing, but it is very troublesome to take care of. ”

"If it's lost or something else, it's just a nuisance."

"The point is that this thing is really valuable."

"How about I buy 250,000?"

Wu Weimin was stunned for a moment, Zhao Dahai didn't listen to his offer, and immediately refused.

Zhao Dahai shook his head and said with a smile that if it was the fish he had just caught, Wu Weimin happened to see the price that was opened, so he would sell it immediately without saying a word.

Wu Weiming didn't expect this to happen, very helpless, Zhao Dahai opened such a mouth in front of everyone, when the dowry was given, this big fish must not be absent, when the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and was confined, this fish glue must be served on the table, not only a matter of money, but also a matter of face. If this thing can't be done, it will make the people in the surrounding villages laugh at it for a lifetime, and there is only one situation, Zhao Dahai has to ruin his family, and he needs money to save the emergency to be able to get through the hurdle, so he will sell the fish gelatin.

Wu Weimin said that if he really wanted to sell fish gelatin in the future, he would have to inform himself, and did not continue to talk about it.

Wu Weimin asked in detail about the process of catching this big fish, and he was very envious, and the big fish has a crazy attraction for people who like fishing.

"Boss Wu."

"There aren't many places where I can catch big fish now, so I'll go fishing with you when I find the right one later."

Zhao Dahai knew that Wu Weimin definitely wanted to catch big fish, and only he knew the place where he transferred to the big blue spot to catch the big fish, and it was impossible to take other people there, so he could only wait for himself to find more spots where he could catch big fish.

Zhao Dahai sent Wu Weimin away, walked back to the fish gelatin, and looked at it carefully, the gel was really clearly visible, a little proud, it was really a good thing.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and pinched the big fish, and it was dry. These days God is very appreciative of the face, lukewarm and windy, this kind of weather is most suitable for drying dried fish including fish gelatin, dry very fast, rainy days or sultry sun days, very troublesome, rainy days are not dry easy to mold and smell, sultry sun, the temperature is too high, dry but the quality is very poor.

Evening.

Sun Er came to a trip, carefully looked at the fish gelatin and dried salted fish, said that he could put it away, teach him how to put it in a bag, every three months, take it out in dry and not hot weather, ventilate and dry, and be careful to keep it for decades.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, if you are an ordinary fish, shrimp and crab, you don't have to worry about it, this is a fish gelatin worth more than 200,000 yuan, it's really not a joke.

Zhao Dahai put away the fish gelatin, after lunch, drove the tricycle to the wharf on the fishing boat, did not go to sea for a few days, came down every day to see but tomorrow is ready to go to sea, things have to be cleaned up, tidy up things, clean up the live cabin, carry seawater to wash the deck, try the diesel engine, everything is normal.

Zhao Dahai left the dock and rushed to the town, where he bought sea centipedes at the fishing tackle shop.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up, finished breakfast, and walked to the dock when he went out, there were already a lot of fishing boats coming back to the sea, buying and selling fish, huddled together, very lively.

Zhao Dahai turned around, the fishing boat that went out to sea caught almost the same fish, shrimp and crabs, nothing special, bought two catties of live shrimp the size of a little finger, and carried it on the fishing boat to raise it in the live cabin, this is the spare bait, the main force is the sea centipede, I am afraid that when the deep-sea centipede is not easy to use, I can change it, the fish and people are the same, and the appetite may be different every day.

Zhao Dahai did not go to the place where the big fish and the blue spot were fished, there must be no fish every day, generally speaking, the big fish occupy a plate, one or several big fish in one place, other big fish will not come, and the two big blue spots were fished, the big fish came, the big fish was caught a few days ago, and it will take a while for a while to have a new big fish to come, ten days and a half a month to go to a trip, especially after the tide is converted.

The sun is in the sky.

The white flowers are very dazzling.

Zhao Dahai stared at the tip of the rod, shook it a few times, picked up the fishing rod, stretched it forward, shook it a few times, and then shook it a few times, raised the rod to stab the fish, the middle fish, the line was straightened, controlled, pulled out of the water, a yellow sea bream of about seven taels, picked the fish and threw it into the live cabin, hung the sea centipede, threw the rod out, and waited for about fifteen minutes before waiting for another fish.

Zhao Dahai looked at the seven or eight fishing boats around him, far or near, and everyone's harvest was about the same in half a day, less than seven or eight fish, and more like himself caught fifteen or sixteen fish, none of which were too big, there were black sea bream and yellow sea bream.

Zhao Dahai took the lunch box and began to eat, the harvest was not good, not in a hurry at all, fishing is like this, sometimes make a fortune, when more often it is good to be able to earn a mouthful of food, some time ago I caught big fish one after another, and made a few sums of money, this time I made less money, there is no pressure, plus I am fishing today is not much fish near the shallow sea.

Zhao Dahai finished lunch, rested, for about half an hour, the five poles were motionless, all of them were put away, drove the fishing boat, and moved to another place, the same is old, looking at a dozen or so fishing boats, they must be able to catch fish, but they must not be much.

Zhao Dahai was not picky, did not dislike too many fishing boats, found a place to stop the fishing boat and start fishing, no matter whether there are many fish or few fish, these fishing places near the shallow sea are all fished once or twice to find out the situation.

Sunset.

The sky is full of red clouds.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the wharf, the past seven or eight days of time every morning and evening to go out to sea to fish, every day there is a harvest but not much, no money but oil money, food money and wages are not lacking, the nearest twenty or thirty fishing spots around have been fished two or three times, where can you catch how many fish basically figured out.

Where have all the fish gone?

Zhao Dahai is a little strange, he can catch fish these days but there are really not many, there are no fish in one or several places, but there are no fish in the whole sea area twenty or thirty fishing spots.

Zhao Dahai ran a little farther today, with several villages in between, and when he drove it, he saw that large stakes appeared on the sea

Oyster fields?

Zhao Dahai had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of a possibility.
