Chapter 188: Zhao Dahai's New Way of Fishing
"Boom!"
…
"Crack!"
…
Thunder and lightning alternated constantly.
Zhao Dahai sat up, put on his clothes, checked the windows of the room, checked all the windows in his own room and grandma Zhong Cuihua's room, and watched the wind getting stronger and stronger, making the windows rattle, so he tied them up with ropes, and the wind would definitely It will be bigger. If it is not tied up, it will be swept away and completely shattered.
Zhao Dahai walked out of the courtyard door, and the wind blew over his head and face, and he almost couldn't open his eyes. A flash of lightning flashed in the sky from time to time, especially in the distant horizon. They had to be torn apart. When the lightning appeared, the whole world was like daytime. The sea surface was very clear, and the waves were surging. When the waves hit the reef area in the east, they splashed seven or eight meters, or even more than ten meters of waves, rumbling The sound is very loud.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. This was just the prelude to the typhoon. When it really came, I didn't know what kind of scene it was. There was a big typhoon when I was young, but I don't have much memory of it.
Zhao Dahai went back to the house and told Zhong Cuihua to go to the pier to have a look. The wind was too strong to ride a tricycle. When he walked to the pier, he saw that Zhong Shizhu and others, including other people in the village, were there.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"The wind is so strong! Is the fishing boat okay?!"
Zhao Dahai looked a little worried at the undulating fishing boats on the sea.
"no problem!"
"A few hours ago, Lei Dayou and I came to inspect our fishing boat. There was nothing wrong with it."
Holding a flashlight in his hand, Zhong Shizhu carefully photographed the fishing boat of himself and Zhao Dahai several times. It looked dangerous, but with years of experience, there was no problem.
Zhao Dahai realized that he was really inexperienced. He was busy with things at home last night and did not check the fishing boat again.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu stayed on the pier for almost an hour before going home. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was a bit dangerous to stay on the pier.
Zhao Dahai returned home, thought for a while, and walked to the chicken coop at the back of the house. He caught all the chickens in the coop, carried them back to the yard, and placed them under the eaves.
Zhao Dahai returned to his room, just laying down, there was another thunderstorm, followed by crazy heavy rain, hitting the roof of the house and crackling the windows.
It’s really going to rain, and no one can stop her from getting married.
Zhao Dahai fell asleep for a while, woke up at 6:00 in the morning, opened the door of the main room and saw that it was raining continuously outside, and the yard began to accumulate water, so he immediately put on a raincoat, took a hoe, and braved the strong wind I went to the back of the house, cleaned the gutter, and watched the water rushing out. This is my inexperience. I didn’t prepare in advance yesterday. Fortunately, I got up early in the morning. If I got up late, the yard can grow fish.
Zhao Dahai finished cleaning the gutters and looked at the vegetable garden. The reinforced shelves yesterday were useless. The wind was too strong and they were all swept down. The vegetables in the field were ruined. The typhoon didn't land until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Even bigger, the vegetables in the vegetable garden could not be preserved, so we had to wait for the typhoon to clear up and replant them. Fortunately, I took the chicken coops to catch the chickens and put them in the yard in the early morning. The fruit trees were fine.
Zhao Dahai checked it again and returned to the yard. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already gotten up and was sitting in the main room.
"grandmother."
"The vegetable garden can't be saved."
"A piece of the chicken pen fell down. The chickens were caught long ago. Nothing happened."
Zhao Dahai took off his raincoat. It was windy and rainy, and half of his body was already soaked. He immediately changed his clothes.
"The vegetable garden will definitely not be saved. Just plant it when the weather gets better."
Zhong Cuihua was a little heartbroken but there was nothing she could do.
Zhao Dahai cooked white porridge and fried some salted fish. After breakfast, he sat for a while and continued to sleep. He couldn't go out during the typhoon and had nothing to do.
3pm.
The whole sky was dark.
The day is like night, and I can't see my fingers.
Zhao Dahai and grandma Zhong Cuihua had lunch in the main room. Outside the room, the wind was even stronger, and they dared not open the door.
The electricity stopped.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. Power outages are common during typhoons. He thought it would not happen this time, so he stopped anyway. He took out the gas lamp he had prepared and lit it. The house was lit again. It was troublesome to light it. A little, but the brightness is not comparable to that of candles, and it is much easier to use.
Zhao Dahai remembered that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had made an appointment to have dinner at night. This kind of weather was quite bad. It was currently very windy and rainy, so it was impossible to go out. He would postpone the matter later when he could go out. We would wait until the weather improved.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while after lunch. The wind calmed down a little. Just when he was about to go out to Zhong Shizhu's house, someone was patting the courtyard door. He went out to take a look, and Zhong Shizhu came first.
"The sea."
"This typhoon is too big!"
"Eating will be another day."
Zhong Shizhu roared loudly. The wind was too strong and it was raining, otherwise it would be impossible to hear him.
Zhao Dahai nodded immediately and urged Zhong Shizhu to go home quickly.
Zhong Shizhu turned around and left to avoid the storm getting worse later.
Zhao Dahai cooked dinner with his grandma Zhong Cuihua and went to bed early. There was really nothing to do in Typhoon Tianzhen.
When Zhao Dahai woke up, he looked outside the window and saw that it was no longer raining. After listening for a while, the wind had basically stopped. He got up immediately, opened the door and saw that the sky began to light up, only scattered dark clouds, It wasn't raining, but there was a little wind. I looked at the time and it was already 7:00 am the next day. This sleep was really long enough. The exhaustion I had been going to sea during this time all disappeared.
Zhao Dahai immediately rode a tricycle to the pier. The waves on the sea were still very big and he couldn't get on the fishing boat. He looked at it from a distance and found that there was no problem.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and other people with fishing boats in the village rushed over one after another. The fishing boats were greatly affected by the typhoon. This time the situation was very good, and no fishing boats were damaged.
Zhong Shizhu walked up to Zhao Dahai and pointed to the rocks at the east end of the village.
Zhao Dahai looked over, there must be at least dozens of people on the beach and the reef, he couldn't help being amused, Zhong Shizhu told himself about this before the typhoon, so many people are rushing to pick up fish, and now they must not be able to pick up fish in the past What, but I had no intention of doing this in the first place. I didn’t think about doing this. In the past, I mostly had no money and no food to eat when I picked up fish. Picking up more fish can help me order more food, but now I don’t need to do this anymore.
Zhao Dahai made sure that the fishing boat was fine, so he went home immediately. After the typhoon, there was a lot of work to be done. The tricycle parked at the gate of the yard, turned around and went directly to the vegetable garden behind the house.
"grandmother!"
"I'll just come!"
Zhao Dahai walked over quickly as he spoke. The vegetable garden was in a mess. Grandma Zhong Cuihua couldn't stop and was already busy. However, she didn't rush. She walked around the house twice and carefully checked that there was nothing wrong with the house before starting to clean it up. The vegetable garden, beans and luffa were all toppled. The edible beans and melons were picked, and the vines and other things were uprooted. The situation of the vegetables was a little better, and some could be left. It took several hours to clean up the entire vegetable garden. The wind swept All the fallen bamboo fences were raised up and re-reinforced. However, this was only temporary. The typhoon and heavy rain had just passed and the ground was soft. It would take a few days for the sun to dry out and harden the ground. Then the bamboo stakes were laid again to make them firm. It works, tidy up the vegetable garden and then the chicken pen.
Zhao Dahai worked for almost four hours at a stretch, and it was not until noon that everything was sorted. When he returned to the yard, the tap water was turned on, and he immediately rinsed the yard.
After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he didn't bother to rest. He immediately went out to the town and bought various seeds. In addition, he went to a place selling fishing nets and bought 20 bundles, each of which cost 500 yuan. I bought nylon thread as thick as rice chopsticks, and a large number of hooks and sub-threads. Then I went to the market and bought twenty baskets and some foam cotton before returning home.
Zhao Dahai took the vegetable seeds he bought to the vegetable garden and planted them all. The typhoon had just passed and he could not go to sea for the time being. He had to hurry up and finish the work in the vegetable garden. Otherwise, he would have to plant vegetables once the weather was good and he could go to sea. Delay at both ends.
At night.
The fishing village gradually became quiet. The impact of the typhoon continued, but it was no longer significant.
Zhao Dahai had dinner and started to do his own business.
The nylon threads, baskets, hooks and threads bought during the day were all put out in the main room.
Use scissors to cut the foam cotton into a width of ten centimeters, then stick it around the mouth of the basket and tie it tightly with thin wire. All twenty baskets were exactly the same, and it took an hour to tie them all.
Zhao Dahai then began to tie the hooks. The thin sub-threads were tied to the hooks, leaving one meter long. Every ten meters, a hook was tied to the 500-meter-long nylon main line with a thickness of chopsticks. A hook was tied, and the main nylon line was organized. Place it in the center of the basket, fold it in circles, and make sure it is not messy. The hooks are hung on the foam cotton tied up in the basket. I was busy until two o'clock in the morning before everything was ready.
Zhao Dahai stood up and stretched. He had just tied a row hook. This is a fishing method in which many sub-lines are tied to one main line and released into the sea. It looks like a large string hook. After the typhoon, The sea water is relatively mixed, making it difficult to fish or fish, but this kind of weather is very suitable for catching a kind of fish, and these rows of hooks are prepared for this kind of fish.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
