Golden Fishing Village

Grouper is a good thing. It is rich in nutrition, tender and white, similar to chicken, and is known as "sea chicken". Of course, its nutritional value is definitely much higher than chicken.

In addition, because of its size and appearance, they are also called sea carp. Needless to say, the value of grouper is much greater than that of carp. The two are not ingredients of the same grade at all!

No matter where, grouper is a top-grade edible fish, especially in southern China and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Diners are particularly keen on this fish and promote it as one of the four famous fishes in China.

Groupers are mostly found in tropical and temperate oceans. They like to live in the sea areas with rocky reefs, gravel and coral reefs near coastal islands. There are many species, but most of them do not like to form groups.

Ao Muyang encountered groupers several times when diving, but because they were all produced alone, he did not catch them. The cost was too high and the gain was not worth the loss.

After all, groupers are fish, and they are much more flexible in the sea than Ao Muyang. As long as they miss a hit, they will escape without a trace, so Ao Muyang was too lazy to catch them when he met them.

But now that there is a long-term business, he has become interested.

He did not go out to sea for the last two days of the National Day holiday. He soaked in the water every day, nominally playing with tigers to attract tourists, but actually absorbing water to strengthen the golden elixir.

Because he raised hundreds of lobsters, he now consumes more gold drops, and Lu Hu urgently needs Jinxiu lobsters, so he releases more gold drops and needs to constantly absorb water to replenish them.

In the past two days, Longtou Village was like a large army passing through. The whole village was crushed. It seemed that there were people everywhere in the village and on the beach.

After the National Day, the flow of people dropped sharply. Starting from October 8, there were still some people who came to see the killer whales, but the number was much smaller.

Ao Muyang resumed his habit of letting Tiger stroll around the sea near the dock in the morning and evening. At other times, he sailed out to sea to look for groupers.

Domestic groupers mainly live in the South China Sea, so Ao Muyang decided to go south and sail a long voyage. Of course, it was a long voyage near the coast, but he went far away, but he didn't go deep into the ocean...

To catch groupers, it is unnecessary to go too deep into the sea. Groupers are warm-temperate fish and like to live in warm near-shore waters.

However, their habitat water layer will rise and fall with the change of water temperature. Generally speaking, in spring and summer, they like to live in water layers with a depth of 10 to 30 meters. In autumn and winter, when the water temperature drops, they swim to deeper waters of 40 to 80 meters.

Ao Muyang asked Ao Daguo and others for their opinions, saying that he wanted to go south and see the situation in the southern waters.

Ao Daguo readily agreed: "You are the leader, you have the final say!"

Ao Wenchang was even more overjoyed: "That's great, I can finally stay away from my parents."

Ao Muyang was ready. He checked the date. The weather was good for the ten days in mid-October. The autumn was clear and the sea breeze was gentle. It was a good day to go out to sea.

He told Lu Zhizi that he would not be at home these days. If there was anything, she should find Teacher Ao Zhisheng. Ao Zhisheng had great prestige in the village and could settle most things.

Just when they were about to leave, Ao Wenchang suddenly said he couldn't go.

Ao Muyang thought his parents didn't allow it, and frowned and said: "Uncle Qianyao, what's wrong? Are you being raised in the boudoir like a little girl?"

Ao Wenchang squeaked and whimpered: "No, no, the leader, it's not my parents' business. Alas, it's other things, really, I have to deal with some personal matters."

"Really? Do you want your brother to help?" Ao Muyang asked.

Ao Wenchang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I can solve it myself, emotional issues..."

Hearing this, Ao Muyang stopped talking. He was a rookie in relationships and he really couldn't help with this.

Ao Daguo punched Ao Wenchang: "Emotional issues? Great, scholar, I didn't realize that you have this ability. You can hook up with a girl while staying at home all day. It's amazing."

Ao Wenchang smiled bitterly: "Uncle Daguo, don't joke with me."

Ao Daguo turned around and said to Ao Mubing: "Soldier, look at the scholar, and then look at you. How old are you and you still don't have a wife?"

Ao Mubing smiled and said: "Why do you need a wife? Now you need a dowry and a car and a house to marry a wife. The total is more than one million, right? I'll go to the county to find a woman, a high-end one that costs five hundred yuan a time. Damn, I can find one five thousand times for one million!"

"Two thousand times, not five thousand times." Ao Wenchang habitually corrected him.

Ao Mubing said, "No matter how many times he does it, I can play until I am exhausted!"

Ao Qianpan waved his hand and said, "Big soldier, I didn't realize you have this ability. Come on, lend me one to talk."

Ao Muyang said, "Okay, stop joking around. Wenchang, you do your thing. Let's go out and go out to sea for two or three days to see the situation."

The fishing boat sailed south from the dock.

In order to save fuel money, Ao Muyang did not drive a sea fishing boat this time.

Hongyang is located at the junction of two provinces, belonging to the junction of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. A little further south is the East China Sea. The South China Sea has the most groupers in China's waters, followed by the East China Sea.

It has entered autumn, and Ao Muyang will sail to the sea forty or fifty meters deep. He occasionally jumps into the sea to play with the tiger for a while. At this time, he will take the opportunity to see the situation in the sea.

Grouper is a carnivorous and ferocious fish. It preys on benthic crustaceans, various small fish and cephalopods in a sudden attack.

Ao Muyang knows all this, so he will pay special attention to areas suitable for grouper life.

Because groupers like quiet and fear waves, like warmth and fear cold, like clear water and fear turbidity, whenever he finds no undercurrent in the sea area of ​​40 to 50 meters deep, and the sea water is clear and lightly polluted, he will pay special attention to it and look for small fish and cephalopods.

After driving for most of the day, he did not encounter groupers, but encountered a group of fish with gray-white mixed with blue-white, flat bodies, and only the size of his palm.

These fish are horse-faced fish, and he encountered a school of horse-faced fish.

The scientific name of horse-faced fish is green-fin horse-faced pufferfish, and there are many common names, such as rubber fish, skinned fish, peeled fish, bread fish, etc.

This fish is more common in the East China Sea, and its output is second only to hairtail. In terms of the output of wild marine aquatic products in my country, it ranks second.

Since the output is high, the price will naturally not be high.

But horse-faced fish has no waste on its body, it is a very good fish, especially its fish liver is very large, accounting for 30 to 40 percent of its body weight, which is suitable for making cod liver oil.

After discovering the school of fish, he surfaced to signal Ao Daguo and others to prepare to cast the net.

"What fish?" Ao Mubing asked, spitting out his cigarette butt.

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Horse-faced fish, go back and dry them, and make some money at the end of the year to buy New Year's goods."

Horse-faced fish is not worth much when sold fresh, but it is more valuable after being dried because the meat is sweet. Dried horse-faced fish and a similar-named dried horse-step fish are both star products at barbecue stalls in the mainland. The minimum price for one is three yuan, and the larger ones are even sold for five or ten yuan.
