Qilu Evening News Qilu One Point reporter Chen Jingying
"At the best time, he can pick up more than 6,000 a day", "There is no cost, it is the round-trip fee", "He picked up about 80,000 in 5 months" What job costs almost zero and makes a thousand and eight hundred a day? Still picking up the legal rules? Eight or nine thousand in five months? With full of questions, the Reporter of Qilu Yidian came to the Chajian Fishing Village in Wudi County to visit the "he" in the mouths of the villagers and the "he" way of "picking up money".
As soon as I walked into the fishing village, I was attracted by the pattern depicted on the wall, and the rich smell of the sea.
Five or six fishermen gathered on the dam one after another, chatting happily about their homely routines, and from time to time there were bursts of hearty laughter. In the distance, a stout young man walked east, wearing a leopard-print cotton jacket, carrying a plastic box in his hand, and a diving suit on his shoulders. Perennial in the seaside wind and sun, his skin is dark, his face reflects the morning sun glowing with golden light, the small eyes are illuminated by the sun, squinted into two slits, seeing his companion's mouth grinning, revealing a mouth of jagged white teeth, this is the "he" we are looking for today - "Fishing Three Generations" Fu Jinlong.
Fu Jinlong is 34 years old this year, and his father and grandfather generation are engaged in or have been engaged in fishery production, so he is an authentic "three generations of fishermen". Speaking of Fu Jinlong, the villagers gave a thumbs up, and it was also "zero bad reviews" among friends.
"Liang Liang (Fu Jinlong) is really able to endure hardships, from 16 (age) can follow the ship, to later get married, and officially work on the ship," said a fellow villager, "he is very endurance, the longest day on the ship can work for fourteen or five hours without rest, one person can stand up to several people." ”
Another villager added, "He is hard-working, caring, a warm-hearted person, and he helps with red and white things in the village." ”
"Once his neighbor's house caught fire, Fu Jinlong didn't say a word, didn't hesitate a little, and rushed to the roof to fight the fire regardless of his personal safety." Fu Jinlong's friend sighed.
Since the age of 16, Fu Jinlong has been able to help his parents on the ship until now, and he has 18 years of experience. Speaking of the eighty thousand that this Golden Dragon picked up in a year, it was actually by picking up conchs!
"Before the conch also had, are hit with nets, nearly three or four years, only to start picking up conch." There is no cost to pick up conchs, it is the cost of taking a speedboat back and forth. Local fishermen say they not only pick up conchs, but also oysters, sea oysters and clams. From March until November, it is a good time to pick up conchs except for the fishing ban. In five months, relying solely on picking up conch, Fu Jinlong's income was about 80,000.
Fishermen display their homemade tools for picking conchs, a triangular iron ring embedded under a long bamboo pole, and a net pocket under the iron ring, which the locals call a fishing net. When the tide receded, the conch sucked on the rock wall was exposed, and the net was stretched out under the conch, and scraped up against the rock wall, and the conch fell into the net pocket.
The sparkling sea glowed silver, and not far away, several fishing boats were silently docked on the shore. Trance is like swimming in the middle of the painting, indulging in it, and once the breeze passes, it is "awakened" by the salty and umami smell soaked in the air.
The blue sky is like a wash, the wind and waves are calm, and today is another suitable day for going to sea.
Looking at the time, it was about to recede, Fu Jinlong and his compatriots got on a speedboat and sailed to the vicinity of Binzhou Port, where they picked up conch. The speedboat rushed forward with full force, drawing a long white wave on the calm sea.
After more than an hour of travel, the speedboat docked, and Fu Jinlong jumped onto the rock with a stride.
The dam is made of rock, some of which are covered with moss due to long-term immersion in seawater, and slip on them. The sea gradually receded, and the conch adsorbed on the high rock gradually appeared. Fu Jinlong was well-armed through the rocks, and his two small eyes were like two radars, searching for the traces of the conch. When the conch that was exposed to the surface was almost picked up, Fu Jinlong changed into a diving suit and searched for the conch on the rocks under the water.
Fu Jinlong was at the long dam, picking up piece by step, one by two, three by four... He was like the hands of a clock, without a moment's rest, unhurried, always maintaining the same rhythm. Unlike us, who at first climbed up and down full of excitement. The conch is hidden between the crevices of the rocks, and you have to lie on your stomach, kneel, wrap your arms, stretch your legs, arch your waist... After some groping and rolling, the toss has long been exhausted, and finally paralyzed on the rock and does not want to move, even if there is a bunch of conch waiting for you to pick up, there is no strength to move.
Around 4 p.m., the sea rose again. Fu Jinlong carried his results to one place, "Today I picked up conch, oysters, small snails, and occasionally crabs and octopus." ”
Fellow villagers also gathered one after another, ready to return to sell. The same day's work, some picked up a snakeskin bag, some are full of two bags, the original "gap between rich and poor" is how it opened.
Today's conch purchase price is 24 yuan a catty, small snail 14 yuan a catty. Fu Jinlong picked up 90 pounds of conch this time, unsurprisingly, it is today's snail picking champion!
"Picking up conchs also has to touch, and at most you can pick up three hundred pounds a day." Three hundred pounds of conch! Even if it is 20 yuan a pound, it is enough for 6,000 pieces!
The little conch accumulated a great deal of wealth, and most people, only heard the surprise of their daily gold, but did not see their high-intensity hard work. "The water started in March, and although the water was still cold at that time, there were many conchs under the water." In March, the water temperature is less than 5 degrees, and although wearing a wetsuit, the bone-chilling waters are still a challenge. In fact, there are very few "three generations of fishermen" like Fu Jinlong in the village, and most of the young people in the village cannot bear this suffering now.
"For the sake of wives and children, take advantage of your youth, you can work more and earn more, otherwise you won't be able to do it when you are old." On May 1, the fishing ban period will begin, and for four months, Fu Jinlong is not idle, and doing odd jobs is a good income.
On the way back, Fu Jinlong grinned and revealed his jagged white teeth, "A payoff has a gain." A good life is a struggle, roll up your sleeves and work hard! "Tired? Not tired! "He" said that in ordinary days with his hands to accumulate wealth, the days will have a head, and the secret of "sudden wealth" is to fight in ordinary posts. Reflecting the setting sun, toward the sunset, he and "them" were glowing golden.
