Chapter 23 The little daughter-in-law is extremely lucky
“Let Jiang Xia take a rest on the island.”
After hearing this, Father Zhou fell silent and prepared to sail the boat to the island.
Where can I rest in Xingzheng, Jiangxia?
"There is no need to go to the island to rest, I am not tired, I will divide the fish on the boat. Keep casting the net, and take advantage of the good luck to cast more nets."
Father Zhou also had this idea , it’s still so early, why take a break? It was rare for his daughter-in-law to be sensible, so he smiled and said: "Then let's cast the net again. It will be noon. Let's take a break during dinner."
"Okay." Jiang Xia responded with a smile and said to Zhou Chenglei: "Continue to cast the net. Net. ”
Zhou Chenglei could only go down the net, and then he and Jiang Xia sorted the fish on the deck.
The fish are sorted by size. Fish of similar sizes are put into the same basket. A full basket weighs about fifty kilograms.
Because these fish came from the trawl net, they are already dead, so they are easy to separate.
Zhou Chenglei is used to it. He can tell how heavy the fish is at a glance and can sort it out quickly and accurately.
But he never expected that Jiang Xia could divide it faster and more accurately, just like she had done it countless times.
In her previous life, Jiang Xia started selling vegetables with her grandmother every day when she was more than three years old. Although she couldn't help with anything at first, she learned to help a little when she was four or five years old. She could tell how much it weighed by holding it in her hands.
Fast and accurate? Without it, it’s just familiarity.
The Spanish mackerel is relatively large, and the two of them worked together to put all the mackerel into the basket in more than an hour.
Then I divided the fish and shrimps and got more than ten kilograms of monodon shrimp and more than ten kilograms of miscellaneous fish. Among these miscellaneous fish were some small red squid and flower crabs, which were just in time for cooking at night.
More than two hours have passed since the separation was completed. Father Zhou said: "Lei, it's time to set up the net."
"Okay."
So Father Zhou said Slowing down the speed of the boat, the father and son worked together to hoist the net.
This net was not as heavy as the previous one, so the two of them pulled it up relatively easily.
Zhou Chenglei poured out the fish alone.
Jiang Xia saw a rat-spot wearing a spotted skirt at a glance.
Very beautiful!
The most important thing is that this fish is still alive after being dragged into the trawl net, which is very rare.
Father Zhou also saw it, picked it up immediately and put it in a bucket to keep. The fish is more expensive if sold alive.
This time there were mostly miscellaneous fish, but there were also a dozen mackerel and large yellow croaker, as well as many small red squid.
The quantity is small, but the variety is good.
Father Zhou smiled and said: "This net is not bad. Take advantage of the time."
It was already noon, Zhou Chenglei said: "Eat first.
Father Zhou: “That’s okay. ”
Zhou's mother had prepared the meal in the morning and put it in a lunch box for them to take on board.
The food is already cold, but I’m not afraid of summer either.
Zhou Chenglei opened the lunch boxes and glanced at them before handing them to Jiang Xia. This time, the dishes in the three lunch boxes were all the same, and Zhou's mother did not treat them differently.
The only vegetables available are steamed dried fish and pickled cabbage. I am pressed for time in the morning and cannot cook so many dishes. Moreover, the vegetables turn yellow after being stored for a long time and are not delicious. Zhou’s mother usually does not prepare them.
In addition to the lunch boxes, Zhou’s mother also prepared six boiled eggs for the three of them, which they can eat when they are hungry.
The food is not as delicious when it is cold, but sauerkraut goes with the meal, and Jiang Xia was really hungry after working for a long time, so she ate most of the box lunch, and then Zhou Chenglei took care of the rest.
After dinner, Father Zhou wanted to trawl the net again.
Once he went to sea, he wanted to seize all the time to trawl, hoping to make more money.
But the sun was too strong, so Zhou Chenglei wanted to send Jiang Xia to the island to rest.
How could Jiang Xia go to rest?
There was a lot of work on the ship, and she felt uncomfortable until she finished it.
“I don’t need to rest, so I quickly sorted these fish.” Jiang Xia picked up a blue crab that wanted to escape and handed it to him to tie up.
She doesn’t know how to tie it yet.
Zhou Chenglei couldn't control her, so he took it over and used herbs to tie the blue crab's claws, feet, and body tightly into a cross shape.
Jiang Xia watched his movements carefully. When it was over, she also picked up a crab and learned to tie it up.
I was not familiar with it at first, and my hand was caught by the crab claws, but I was wearing gloves, so it was okay.
Zhou Chenglei saw that she was a little clumsy, but he tied the crab well in one step.
He only had one thought at this moment: ingenuity!
She is really smart and learns everything quickly. Jiang Xia tied it up and tied it with a bow, admired it for a while, then held up the crab and looked at Zhou Chenglei: "Does it look good?"
Zhou Chenglei took a look and felt that the bow was superfluous and in the way, but he still nodded, "Yeah."
Ignoring her, he went to put the net out, planning to put it out and come back to divide it. Pick.
Jiang Xia put the crab aside and planned to continue looking for crabs to tie. When she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she glanced across the sea, as if she saw a red light flashing on the sea surface and then submerged into the bottom of the sea. .
Jiang Xia immediately pointed to the front and said: "There are schools of fish! There are schools of fish in front! Red ones!"
After hearing this, Father Zhou immediately increased the power and the fishing boat moved forward at full speed.
Zhou Chenglei didn’t let go and looked over.
Not long after the boat sailed, I saw the red that Jiang Xia saw.
"Gajji fish! It's a school of Gajji fish! Hand-thrown net! Chenglei, prepare the hand-thrown net quickly!" Zhou's father shouted excitedly, while driving the boat to chase.
What's going on today? Why are there so many fish?
Zhou Chenglei has already picked up the hand-thrown net.
Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, then picked up the hand-thrown net.
She saw them throwing the net several times and felt that she had learned how to throw the net.
When the fishing boat approached the fish, Zhou Chenglei took a hand-thrown net and threw it.
The fishing net spread out in mid-air and fell into the sea. A group of gargi fish were covered under the net and rolled vigorously.
Zhou Chenglei dragged the net up!
Jiang Xia also imitated Zhou Chenglei and threw the hand-thrown net forward. The net spread was not as big as Zhou Chenglei's, but it also covered many fish when they fell into the water.
You can catch more than using a hand net bag!
She pulled hard to the boat.
Father Zhou also rushed over, his movements were familiar and he cast the net neatly.
The three of them cast six or seven nets in total, and the fish dispersed.
The deck was full of lively gargi fish.
The red color is very festive!
Father Zhou’s dark face was smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.
This is gargi fish, also called red sea bream.
Like the large yellow croaker, it is a relatively valuable fish.
Nowadays, large yellow croaker and gargi fish are becoming more and more difficult to find, and the price has begun to rise.
He has been fishing for so many years, but he has only seen others encounter schools of Gargi fish, but he has never encountered one. He heard that someone is studying artificial breeding of red sea bream, but he doesn’t know if it is true.
Father Zhou smiled brightly when he saw that the fish was quite big, probably weighing one to two pounds.
Sent! Sent!
My daughter-in-law’s shipping is amazing!
Zhou's father said: "Go back early today. Today is a good day. While it's still early, take the boat to the market wharf to sell."
The city's wharf collects fish at a higher price than the village wharf. It's a little higher. There aren't many goods at ordinary times, and the villagers won't spend the gas money to go to the market to sell them. After all, the gas cost of a round trip is almost the same.
But today they have a lot of goods, and they are good goods, so of course they have to go to the market to sell them.
Zhou Chenglei responded: "I will put the net down and drag another net back all the way."
"Okay." Father Zhou went to sail the boat.
After Zhou Chenglei put down the net, he and Jiang Xia took the time to sort the fish and put them in baskets.
Now Jiangxia’s fish eyesight and speed are faster!
It was so fast that Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but glance at her.
The afternoon sun was hot. She was wearing a straw hat and long-sleeved clothes to cover her whole body tightly. It was so hot that a small layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
Just because I am afraid of being exposed to the sun.
He felt hot just looking at it, and it was hard for her to bear it!
But her skin is white. She occasionally raises her head to wipe her sweat, and her skin is dazzlingly white in the sun.
Two hours later, the fishing boat docked at the city pier.
It was still early, only around four o'clock, and there were not many fishing boats returning to the pier, but there were also quite a few.
There are already many people selling fish on the pier, and there are also traders waiting for the fishing boats to return to receive the goods.
