Chapter 2 The contented person is always happy
Compared with the sea areas where coastal fishers often go out to sea to fish, Nanshan Island is located in the deep-sea area. The nearest human island needs to sail for more than an hour. If you go to a seaside town with more people, fishing boats will also need to sail for at least two hours.
Although there are several small islands next to it, Nanshan Island is only less than 60 nautical miles away from the high seas. In addition to the island's location far from the inland, although the island area is not small, the freshwater resources are not abundant, so the villagers on the island move away one after another.
This time, Zhuang Haiyang decided to move back to Nanshan Island to live. Many villagers who moved out couldn't understand it. But when they learned that Zhuang Haiyang even sold the houses they bought in the city, they finally believed that Zhuang Haiyang was determined to live on the island.
Zhuang Haiyang really doesn't care much about what others think. The former village neighbors had less and less contact with each other after leaving Nanshan Island. Moreover, for Zhuang Haiyang at this moment, he was no different from a lonely man.
I sneaked into Zhuang Haiyang at the bottom of the reef pit in one breath. Looking at the sea fish swimming by my side, I felt that the fish resources in this reef pit area were indeed much more than in my early years. In the early years, villagers would cast nets into the pit every few days!
"The fishing ban has been banned for more than ten years, and there are quite a few fish and shrimps that use the reef pit as a safe haven. That's mouse spot! I haven't tasted the taste of this grouper for a long time. I have time to come and catch a few rods. That Dongxing spot is also good, and it's rare to see wild ones."
Looking at the various grouper foraging at the bottom of the pit, even Zhuang Haiyang is very good at water, it is also difficult to catch this wild grouper in the water with bare hands. When we arrived at the bottom of the pit, Zhuang Haiyang soon saw the seafood used to add food.
Looking along Zhuang Haiyang's sight, there were several large lobsters with gorgeous sizes covering the bottom of the pit, covering sand and human garbage. Compared to the difficulty of catching wild grouper, Zhuang Haiyang felt that this kind of lobster was better to start.
Perhaps the big lobster that was targeted by Zhuang Haiyang was quickly ejected into the cave of the reef pit. Fortunately, these caves were not deep, and the big lobster that drilled into the cave was still exposed to Zhuang Haiyang's sight.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled secretly and said, "Is this a lobster version of the bell that covers the ears?"
When he sneaked to the lobster hiding place he had chosen, Zhuang Haiyang carefully stretched out his hand. Just as the big lobster was using his tentacles to sense the danger around him, he was pressed directly into the cave by Zhuang Haiyang.
Pinching the back of the big lobster, Zhuang Haiyang flipped the shrimp and looked at it and nodded secretly, "Not bad! This portion should be about three pounds. Use it to steam it and dip it in some seafood sauce. It should taste good!"
Ignoring other frightened lobsters, Zhuang Haiyang quickly surfaced, pinched the struggling lobster in his hands and went ashore. From the clothes he took off, he took out the fishing line he carried with him and tied it up, and then returned to the reef pit.
After leaving the largest reef pit, Zhuang Haiyang checked all the other reef pits and found that there were quite a few grouper and lobsters living in this reef pit area. When he got ashore, Zhuang Haiyang had two more swift crabs and several big conchs in his hand.
Confirmed that the meal was very rich, and when he changed into the clean clothes he brought, Zhuang Haiyang returned to his yard again. He placed the lobster, squirt crab and conch he caught in a water tank full of sea water and began to set up the liquefied stove he bought.
Looking at the temporary kitchen and looking up at the sky, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "After eating, it is necessary to clean up the kitchen in the afternoon. If it really rains, I can only move the stove to the living room to cook."
In the morning, I cleaned up the bedroom where the yard and my parents lived, and the room with miscellaneous items was left. Zhuang Haiyang had not yet had time to clean it up. Considering that my sister's family might come to stay for two days in the future, other rooms also need to be cleaned up.
As for Zhuang Haiyang himself, he decided to move to the second floor, the rooms he lived in when he was a child. Each room seemed to have a lot of things that needed repair. But when he came back this time, Zhuang Haiyang lacked the least time.
As a fisherman, Zhuang Haiyang naturally knows how to cook seafood. Even if the conditions are a bit simple, Zhuang Haiyang, who sets up a steamer, believes that the seafood steamed afterwards will be delicious. If this meal is in the city, it will be really not cheap!
"Seafood, seafood, is fresh when you have just been fished out of the sea. In the future, if you have time, you will have a few more pieces of vegetable fields. In addition to the grain you have to buy in the town, other daily necessities can actually be planted on the island."
For many fishermen living outside the sea, seafood is actually not expensive, but the ones that are really expensive are vegetables. Knowing that the village used to have a vegetable field, Zhuang Haiyang felt that it would be enough to reclaim it and plant some vegetables that should be self-sufficient.
The Danshui resources that were relocated by villagers before, and I have carefully observed them when I returned to Zhuanghaiyang, which I went to the village. In fact, there are also many Danshui resources on Nanshan Island. However, it is relatively difficult to absorb them.
Fortunately, it should not be difficult for Zhuang Haiyang to absorb fresh water at this moment!
Considering that the electricity has not been turned on yet, Zhuanghaiyang's staple food in the past two days can only be steamed buns or noodles. Nanshan Island is hanging alone in the sea. Zhuanghaiyang has purchased a household diesel generator to solve the problem of electricity use.
When there is time in the future, Zhuang Haiyang will consider asking someone to go to the island and install some solar power panels in his old house or next to him. The time is used to supply power with a diesel generator. I believe Zhuang Haiyang does not have to worry about the lack of electricity on the island.
As for network issues, Zhuang Haiyang cannot ask someone to pull the network to the island, so he can only use wireless networks. Fortunately, he tried several times in the past, and the wireless network on Nanshan Island had quite strong signals.
Thinking of the need for perfect living facilities, Zhuang Haiyang felt that even if he lived here, he seemed to be able to enjoy the same life as in the city. The only difference was that perhaps he could only entertain himself by living alone on the island.
Smelling the seafood aroma in the steamer, Zhuang Haiyang, which has set up a temporary dining table, also prepared the dipping sauce you like. Make sure you can come out of the pot, and then put the shrimps and crabs in the steamer and the same steamed conch on the table.
Seeing the big lobster and swift crab whose shell had turned red, Zhuang Haiyang also took a breath intoxicatedly and said, "It smells so good!"
Take out a few steamed buns in the same steamer, pull off the shrimp heads of the big lobster, and the steaming fat shrimp meat will soon be presented to Zhuang Haiyang. Break off a piece of shrimp meat, roll it into the dip water, and then throw it into your mouth.
Chewing the lobster meat in his mouth, Zhuang Haiyang said with satisfaction: "Fresh, fragrant, tender and smooth, and a hint of sweetness. This lobster is authentic! If those guys see what I eat today, they will probably say I'm fine and poisonous!"
Those who are content are always happy, and those who know how to be satisfied can have happiness. In the eyes of others, Zhuang Haiyang hides on Nanshan Island to escape reality. But only Zhuang Haiyang himself knows that this kind of self-sufficient and carefree life may be what he expects.
After eating a few bites of fresh and smooth lobster meat, Zhuang Haiyang set his sights on two swift crabs that were more than half a pound. He broke open the crab shell of one of the female crabs and covered the red paste. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang nodded with satisfaction.
He picked up the chopsticks and said, "This crab roe is good! I will grab some next time if I have the chance to make a bottle of crab roe paste as seasoning, and the taste should be good!"
When my parents were alive in my early years, they would make some crab mayonnaise every time when crabs were on the market. For Zhuang Haiyang, this is the taste of childhood, and the taste of mother. For many adults, childhood may be the most unforgettable and memorable memory!
