123. Squid fishing
On the first weekend of late August, it was still a beautiful weather with clear sky. Ao Muyang asked Lu Zhizi to go fishing for squids together.
Just before sunrise in the morning, the bay was blue like a pool of gems. The crystal waves slapped on the golden beach, taking away the coarse sand and leaving fine sand, making the beach more delicate and soft.
The pier is the most lively. Fishing boats are preparing to go out to sea. Fishermen shout and tourists arrive on ferries, playing and playing, showing a vibrant look.
There are fishing spots on both sides of the pier. After the fishing boats go out to sea, the fishing spots are empty and you can stay on the pier to fish, shrimps, and crabs. More marine life often lives around the pier.
Seeing the dock, Lu Zhizi was about to run over to take up a seat.
Ao Muyang grabbed her and shook her head and said, "Don't worry, let's have breakfast first."
"What to eat? Do you eat June yellow?" Lu Zhizi's eyes were shiny and her face was full of anticipation.
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "This is for lunch or dinner today. If you catch squid, I will make you a tin plate squid side dish."
Lu Zhizi wondered: "Don't crabs like June yellow just eat umami flavor? Why haven't you eaten them these two days?"
"I've pickled it up," said Ao Muyang, "Who told you that this crab is suitable for fresh food?"
“Isn’t it?”
Ao Muyang shook his head: "No, no matter how fresh it is, can it be, is it even fresher than hairy crabs and red armor? In fact, it is not the case. June yellow is suitable for pickling, because its carapace is soft and can taste the whole body."
Ao Mufeng and his wife held up the breakfast stall at the entrance of the village. Ao Muyang ordered a bowl of tofu brain and two large fried dough sticks. This is breakfast.
The tofu brain is snow-white and delicate, with green coriander leaves, orange-red shrimps, purple seafood braised, and red chili oil to mix it and taste very beautiful.
Ao Muyang tore the golden fried dough sticks apart, threw them into the tofu brain and mixed them, and then started eating them with relish.
The local tofu brain is filled with shrimp and seafood braised, which is completely different from the outside world. It tastes unique with fried dough sticks.
After eating and drinking, all the boats on the pier were left, and stone noses protruding from the pier were vacant. This thing was usually stopped, but when there was no boat, it was a natural fishing spot.
Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi to the dock and found a fishing spot at the front to sit down.
Some tourists also came to fish, so they sat down next to them.
At this time, someone from the village came up to issue a list: "A seat costs twenty yuan a day. Sir, please pay the money."
The tourists were dissatisfied: "This is also a charge for money? I'm just fishing here."
"Of course, it's something from our village."
The tourist pointed at Ao Muyang again and said, "Then why did you confiscate his money?"
The tourists were questioned and the villagers were very angry. He glanced at the tourists with anger and wanted to get angry.
Ao Muyang waved his hand to stop his anger and said politely to the tourists: "Sir, this pier was built by our village ourselves. It was built with a loan at that time. Just like the highway toll, we also had to pay off our debts."
As he said that, he took out forty dollars and handed them over to the villagers.
The tourists were helpless, but they also thought it was reasonable. And seeing that he paid for it, they also paid him twenty yuan.
Ao Muyang said to the villagers: "Brother Dong, you have a better temper. If you do the service industry, you must have the attitude of a waiter. Never quarrel with tourists."
Ao Mudong, who had a big waist and a round waist, smiled and said, "I didn't argue with him. OK, then I'll have a better attitude in the future."
He is big, strong and has a big temper. Ao Zhiyi asked him to collect the fishing spot fee because he was interested in his image, so tourists probably dare not resist.
Ao Muyang scoffed at this. Ao Zhiyi didn't understand the tourism industry at all, nor did he know how to use the resources in the village to develop.
After being told by Ao Muyang, Ao Mudong's face relaxed a lot.
Seeing this scene, Ao Qianying, who was repairing a ship on the dock, smiled and said, "Yozi, you have prestige now. No one is convinced by this guy Dongzi. This is the first time I have seen him listen to someone's lessons so much."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Uncle Ying, what are you saying? I didn't teach him a lesson, I just chatted with him casually."
While speaking, he took out the prepared tools.
Lu Zhizi also prepared a tool, which was a bamboo tube: "Squid, cephalopod mollusks like squid, like cuttlefish, like drilling holes, right? Look at the bamboo tube I prepared, is it easy to use?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Squid is not an eel, how can it like to drill into the bamboo tube so much?"
Lu Zhizi was dissatisfied: "Don't think I don't know anything. When I visited the Magic City Museum, I saw a Tang porcelain jar. The jar was caught from the sea. There was a squid inside. It was made of squid. Isn't this fake?"
Ao Muyang nodded: "It should be true, squids will indeed use these bottles and jars as nests."
"But," he said this, "have you ever seen anyone who sees a hole and becomes a nest? Will you be the home when you see a house? To make the squid identify your bamboo tube as a nest, at least you have to familiarize it with it for a week. Do you have so much time to spend with it?"
Lu Zhizi said depressedly: "Oh, that's how, what should I do?"
Ao Muyang shook the fishing rope in his hand and said, "Use this."
The fishing rope in his hand is very simple, just a slender and sturdy fishing line, and nothing else.
Lu Zhizi said blankly: "What does it mean? Jiang Taigong is fishing, will he be willing to take the bait?"
Ao Muyang said: "The hook is here."
He took out a large fish hook from his pocket and tied the five hooks back to back together, tied them all the way into the shape of a five-clawed anchor.
After tied up, he shouted to Ao Mudong again: "Brother Dong, use the tin foil in the cigarette box for me."
Ao Mudong clamped the last two cigarettes on his ears, then threw the cigarette box at him and said with a smile: "Are you fishing for a rabbit?"
"Yes." As he said that, he took out the tin foil inside and wrapped it in the anchor handle. When the sun shone, it shone brightly and dazzling.
Lu Zhizi wondered again: "Sea Rabbit? Isn't it fishing for squids? Can there be sea Rabbits by the sea?"
Ao Muyang put the hook into the sea water and sank to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, he said, "Squids are sea rabbits, we all call it that."
Lu Zhizi finally found a place to show off: "Haha, you were wrong. Teacher Lu teaches you a lesson. The sea rabbit is a mollusk of the Gastropodaceae, and the squid is a Cephalopod. The two are different! They are completely different!"
Ao Muyang really didn't know about this, so he cooperated and bowed: "Thank you, Teacher Lu for your advice."
When the general saw this, he immediately squatted on the ground and raised his two front paws together. He bowed his hand as if he was like this, but it looked more like bowing.
The head of state did this, his small body was clustered in furry, and his two small claws were swaying together, and it was really like that.
This is the function of the golden drop. It gives animals a strong imitation talent. Ao Muyang has discovered that if he does something to make them interested, they will immediately learn the action.
Immediately, another female tourist's eyes glowed: "Wow, this meow is so silly!"
Ao Muyang knew that the head of state was a little impatient, but it was terrifying. A stranger would get a claw when he approached it.
