fisherman legend

Chapter 232

When there is a fishing moratorium, there will naturally be fishing days. Compared with the moratorium, many fishermen and crew have no work to do.The fishing festival has gradually become a popular custom, attracting the love and attention of many tourists and local residents.

Even though the Sea Ceremony and Opening of Fishing Ceremony in Haijun Town was not as lively as some other well-known fishing ports.But in fact, even if the government does not participate in the formation, those fishing boat owners who go out to sea will worship the sea god before going out to sea.

As an old ship owner who has been at sea for many years in the town, Zhou Yang, the old ship owner hired by Zhuang Haiyang, was also invited to be a member of the sacrificial ceremony.Under his recommendation, Zhuang Haiyang also appeared in the sequence of the captain offering incense.

Unlike other older ship owners, the new ship owner Zhuang Haiyang is a bit too young.But the fishmongers in the town knew very well that Zhuang Haiyang had the qualifications to be ranked first.Although he is young, his fishing skills are extremely powerful.

At Zhou Yang's suggestion, Zhuang Haiyang donated a sum of money to the Organizing Committee of the Fishing Festival, and by the way, arranged Wang Yanming and Zhou Shengjie in the incense offering team.Although the two of them are foreigners, they will also be responsible for sailing Zhuang Haiyang in the future!

Looking at the sacrificial uniforms issued by the organizing committee, other comrades who watched the fun also smiled and said: "Old Wang, Shengjie, these clothes look very elegant! Captain Xinzha, when we go to sea in the future, I count on you to control the direction." gone."

Faced with the jokes from his comrades in arms, Wang Yanming also said straightforwardly: "The one we really want to count on is that guy. Among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, Hai Hai is really eye-catching! It seems that his performance really impressed everyone. "

If you are a new fishing boat owner, if you want to enter the position of officiant, you must either pay more free donations, or you must get the recommendation of a fisherman.Those who are capable will be respected there.

Although Zhuang Haiyang has not been fishing for a long time, the harvest he returns every time he returns from fishing makes other boat owners admire him.In addition, Zhou Yang and the fisherman jointly recommended it, and the organizing committee was also very happy to sell their favors.

Moreover, Zhuang Haiyang gave a lot of sponsorship fees, which greatly reduced the financial pressure of the organizing committee.In addition to some money from the town to handle such a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea and opening fisheries, more expenses still have to be raised by the organizing committee.

And this money, in name, is dedicated to the sea god's sacrificial fee, and it has become a tradition in the town to hold such a grand fishing event with this money.At least the crowds in the town today are even more lively than the Lantern Festival.

Under Zhou Yang's motivation, Zhuang Haiyang also consulted several chief priests about matters that priests need to pay attention to.But in fact, they don't have to do anything at all.Just follow the instructions of the master of ceremonies and offer the sandalwood to the god of the sea.

In contrast, Concubine Li brought a group of roommates, held Zhuang Haiyang's live broadcast equipment, and broadcast the ceremony for the netizens in the live broadcast room.For many netizens, such a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea and opening fisheries is also very novel.

"There are so many people! It looks so lively!"

"Sacrifice the sea and start fishing, seafood, hurry up and hide!"

"High-energy warning! A large number of fishing boats are about to go to sea, seafood please retreat quickly!"

The netizens in the live broadcast room naturally knew what to do with such a ceremony.What surprised netizens the most was that Concubine Li served as a part-time anchor for the first time, explaining to Zhuang Haiyang, who had no time to live broadcast in person, about offering sacrifices to the sea and opening fishing.

Even the leaders of the town have heard about Zhuang Haiyang's 'Fisherman' live broadcast room.These days, many people are aware of the promotion of some Internet celebrities to the tourism industry.And Zhuang Haiyang undoubtedly has this energy.

Because of this, Li Zifei also received a commentator sent by the organizing committee to tell the users in the live broadcast room about the origin of the festival and the points that need attention, which made many netizens feel that they have benefited a lot.

Seeing the barrage posted by netizens, Li Zifei, who was acting as a temporary commentator, also said at the right time: "The auspicious time has come, and the ceremony will begin soon!"

Following Li Zifei's words, more than 20 young and strong men, carrying big horns, began to appear in the live broadcast camera that Li Zifei raised.Seeing these people carrying trumpets, many netizens fell silent.

When the master of ceremonies held up the microphone, he said, "Blow the trumpet and start the sacrifice!"

The whistling of the trumpet soon spread throughout the vicinity of the Sea God Temple.Even the netizens in the live broadcast room can hear the clear trumpet sound.The intermittent sound of horns also announced the official start of the sacrificial ceremony.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang who was honestly staying in the officiant crowd in the live broadcast, many netizens also smiled and said: "The fisherman is dressed in style today! It looks like a big boss!"

"Such a young officiant is really rare!"

"Fisherman, it seems that he is also a famous person in the town!"

Concubine Li didn't explain too much about the barrage sent by netizens even if she saw it.From her point of view, she is only in charge of raising the live broadcast equipment today. As for the barrage of netizens, if she cares, then netizens have no intention of watching the progress of the ceremony.

As the trumpets sounded, the seaside facing the Sea God Temple also heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.The only pity is that it is daytime, so the fireworks launched into the sky can't be seen how exciting.

When the fireworks and firecrackers were over, under the urging of the master of ceremonies, the young man in charge of lighting the long sandalwood also handed the lighted long sandalwood to the hands of several old captains of the officiant.Although he didn't understand much, Zhuang Haiyang still followed suit.

Holding long sandalwood in both hands, quietly waiting for the master of ceremonies to pass.Not long after, the voice of the master of ceremonies came from the sacrificial field and said, "Please officiant, offer sandalwood to the Sea God, and pray that the fishing boat goes out to sea safely and returns with a full load!"

After the voice fell, Zhou Yang, who was standing beside Zhuang Haiyang, also said at the right time: "Xiao Zhuang, just follow me later, don't worry!"

"Well, Uncle Zhou, I see!"

"go!"

As soon as he heard Zhou Yang's explanation, the leading old captain said softly.Then, with a respectful expression on his face, holding a long stick of sandalwood in both hands, he began to walk up the stairs, and went to the altar of the Sea God Temple to offer incense.

After offering incense, the officiant began to stand on the futon placed in front of the Sea God Temple, and kowtowed three times to the Sea God enshrined in the temple.Zhuang Haiyang, who was beside the officiant, also followed suit, kowtowing to the sea god in the temple.

Even if you know in your heart that this sacrificial ceremony is more about praying for inner peace.If you really encounter danger at sea, it is almost impossible to count on the Sea God to rescue you.But as a fisherman, Zhuang Haiyang still maintains his admiration for the sea god.

Three kowtows and stood up, and the staff next to him also said at the right time: "Several, please go this way!"

As Zhuang Haiyang left with several officiant priests, the master of ceremonies continued: "Sacrifice the five grains to the God of the Sea, and pray that the weather will be good, the grains will be plentiful, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe!"

The five graceful women dressed in ama costumes who had been waiting under the stage for a long time, each carrying a plate of grains, began to walk up to the altar to offer carefully selected grain sacrifices to the Sea God.Followed closely by five locally grown fruits.

The three rounds of sacrifices were over, and the master of ceremonies continued: "I offer wine to the Sea God, and pray that all rivers are open to the sea, and that all ships and fishermen who go out to sea are safe! Offer wine!"

As the selected helmsman, Wang Yanming and Zhou Shengjie followed many other captains, and walked up to the altar wave after wave.Pour the sacrificial wine into the altar in front of the altar, and this round of sacrificial ceremony ends.

After presenting the offering of wine, another special person presented three offerings to the Sea God.For this wave of sacrifices, netizens who watched the live broadcast also found it very fresh and cumbersome.But this kind of sea sacrifice ceremony is indeed very difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to see.

Many netizens also felt that it was very fresh to witness such an interesting sea sacrifice and fishing ceremony through the live broadcast room.Correspondingly, the video of this live broadcast will be reposted by the platform one after another in the end.

Knowing that providing video resources can also create wealth, Concubine Li is a little more enthusiastic about running the live broadcast room.In her opinion, Zhuang Haiyang basically does not make money from receiving tourists, and can only earn some dividends by reposting videos.

When Zhuang Haiyang goes out to sea again, I believe that the videos of going out to sea will be broadcast in the live broadcast room one after another as before for netizens to enjoy.As for the real distant sea scenery, even many people who grew up by the sea may not have the opportunity to see it.

"The sacrifice is over! Fire the salute, and pray that all the fishermen who go out to sea this year will be safe and sound, and the cabin is full of fish, shrimp and crabs!"

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices was over, there was another round of fireworks and firecrackers, and the entire vicinity of the Sea God Temple was surrounded by smoke.Immediately afterwards, the troupe invited by the organizing committee began to perform for the audience.

Folk props such as fish, shrimp, crabs and dragon lanterns that appeared at the Lantern Festival were also moved to the square in front of the Sea God Temple and began to dance.Such a lively scene has made many tourists feel very rewarding.

Even though the netizens in the live broadcast room looked at those people who were dressed in costumes and played the role of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, although they knew it was fake at first glance, they still felt quite happy.Especially the person with the fishing boat on his body is even more festive.

On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang at this moment greeted Zhou Yang and the others, and returned to Concubine Li.Seeing the returning Zhuang Haiyang, Concubine Li also smiled and said, "How does it feel to be the officiant?"

"It's not like you haven't seen it! Apart from getting to know more people, I don't think there's anything special about it. However, please rest assured and stay safe. If we invite you again next year, we can continue to sponsor you."

In Zhuang Haiyang's view, the sponsorship fee played a big role in his becoming a member of the chief choir.In addition, the town leaders in the organizing committee seemed to know Zhuang Haiyang's popularity on the Internet, and hoped to use his popularity on the Internet.

If we can publicize this ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea and opening up fishing, perhaps holding such a fishing festival again next year will attract more tourists from other places.The more tourists come to the town, the more basic necessities of life can produce economic benefits.

Even some town leaders felt that it was a pity to leave Nanshan Island to Zhuang Haiyang for free.But now, they felt that Zhuang Haiyang had done a good job.During the summer vacation, tourists from Nanshan Island also spent money in the town.

The various supplies that Nanshan Island purchases from the town every month alone can support many businesses.What the town leaders admire most is undoubtedly Zhuang Haiyang's fishery company, which pays a lot of taxes every month, which can be regarded as a big taxpayer!
