Chapter 142 Letter from the Capital
After all the fish were killed and marinated, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Chenglei walked into the room after taking a shower, and Jiang Xia was doing accounting.
How much did it cost to recover this batch of fish, how much did it cost to hire someone to kill the fish, how long did it take, how much did it cost to buy salt for curing, the money cost, and the time cost, she was all very organized. recorded.
Even for everyone she invited tonight, she recorded their fish killing speed in a new notebook.
Zhou Chenglei came to her with a cool and refreshing breath, took one look at her, picked her up, placed her on his lap, hugged her, and kissed her.
Jiang Xia leaned into his strong arms and could clearly feel the coldness of his skin.
This is unique just after taking a bath with cold well water.
The two of them said at the same time: "I have an idea."
Both of them laughed as they finished speaking.
Zhou Chenglei kissed the back of her neck again.
Jiang Xia turned to face him, hugged his neck, and looked at each other with smiles in each other's eyes.
Jiang Xia's eyes sparkled when she smiled, and she looked at people very gently. The corners of her lips raised when she smiled were graceful, and her whole face was extremely beautiful.
Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but peck her little mouth, put it against her forehead, nose to nose: "You tell me first."
"I want to buy some fresh food from the villagers for a long time. Squid, dried fish, small yellow croaker, all kinds of small fish and all kinds of dried fish..."
It will be September in two days, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few months. Jiangxia wants to collect some squid and eels. , dried fish, small yellow croaker and all kinds of small fish larvae are intended to be made into various snacks and are tried to be sold. After the market is opened, they should be able to sell well by the end of the year.
As for the dried fish, she simply wanted to wait until the end of the year when the price of everything rose a bit and resell it to make the difference.
Every fisherman's household will dry some dried fish, but not much, most of them are miscellaneous dried fish.
Dried fish can also be collected. If the dried fish from every household is collected and sorted, it is no longer dried fish.
Jiang Xia believes that after she spreads the word that his family will purchase dried fish, everyone will start to publicize it.
Usually villagers don't dry fish, mainly because they are afraid of the trouble of selling it in the market. But if some people are willing to accept it, I believe everyone will dry some. After all, dried fish is more profitable.
The most important thing is that autumn is coming soon. After autumn, it is a good season to dry fish. It is not as troublesome as drying fish in summer. At least when the weather gets cooler, you don’t have to worry about the fish smelling bad.
Autumn is crisp and the weather continues to be sunny. Everything dries out faster in the sun.
Jiang Xia expressed her thoughts, "What do you think?"
Zhou Chenglei kissed her: "Okay."
"I still need to buy snacks. You may have to invest a lot of money in the early stage. Are you afraid of losing money?”
“No, you won’t lose money.”
“How do you know?” The food you make is delicious, and the snacks you make are also delicious. Don’t be afraid of losses. If you lose, you will make money. Anyway, you will have money if you lose it. It’s not like you won’t get it back, so what are you afraid of?”
Jiangxia: "..."
It made so much sense, she couldn't find the words to refute it!
Jiang Xia asked again: "What about you? What did you just want to say."
"I want to rent a sea area, build some cages and try to raise fish in the sea."
< br>Jiang Xia suddenly became energetic: "What kind of fish should I raise?"
"Isn't there an article in the magazine you brought back for translation that introduced the successful case of sea bream farming in the island country? Plus, I've read it before. I don’t know how others raise it, so I want to try raising real sea bream first, that is, Gaji fish. I can also try several kinds of fish, such as sea bream, large yellow croaker, grouper, etc. Whichever one is successful will be the best. Which kind to raise? I think..."
Zhou Chenglei feels that it is only a matter of time before the country restricts fishing. After all, there are more and more fishing boats, and there are fewer fish in the sea. Take the large yellow croaker for example. It has been significantly reduced in the past two years, and the price is becoming more and more expensive. In addition to large yellow croaker, other fish are also on the decline, so it is estimated that the seafood in the future will be mainly cultured.
Even now, Zhou Chenglei knows that fishermen in many places are trying to raise fish in the sea, and there are many successful cases. Of course, cultured fish in the future will definitely not be as expensive as wild fish, but the quality of cultured fish is large.
Decimals are afraid of long calculations. As long as the amount is large enough, you will earn more.
And he doesn’t just raise fish and not go out to sea to fish. He just wants to rent out the sea area suitable for fish farming to get a head start and go out to sea to fish and raise fish at the same time.
Zhou Chenglei also expressed his intention to raise him with Zhou Chengxin.
He hugged her and told Jiang Xia all his thoughts.
“What do you think?”
Jiang Xia: “I think it’s very good, but don’t just contract the sea area for five years, the time can be longer, twenty or thirty years. Okay."
"Do you have any objections to working with me?"
"No, brother is very good. Now our fishing boats are used in turns, so it's okay if we don't work together. Way. Besides, if it gets bigger in the future, you can rest assured that your big brother will help manage it.”
Both of us understand the deeper meaning of the last sentence.
Zhou Chenglei knew that she would agree and that she would understand his ambition.
Some things don’t need to be said for her to understand. How lucky she is to understand!
He kissed her.
My hands are not free either.
Jiang Xia trembled slightly, held his wrist and avoided it: "It's too late, you have to go to sea tomorrow."
"I know."
He knows , but had no intention of stopping.
Didn’t she say that she would not go to sea tomorrow?
The next day, Zhou Chenglei, Zhou's father and Zhou Chengsen still went to sea at four o'clock.
Jiang Xia didn't go to sea, so many fish needed to be dried. Jiang Xia was afraid that Zhou's mother would be too busy, so she stayed at home to help.
She didn’t get up until six o’clock when she didn’t have to go to sea. After breakfast, she would dry fish with Zhou’s mother.
Zhou Ying got up early in the morning and sat on the swing under the grape arbor to read English. Jiang Xia corrected her pronunciation when she heard her pronunciation was inaccurate.
Zhou Ying read Jiang Xia's pronunciation.
Li Xiuxian couldn't help it after listening to Jiang Xia's corrections several times. She was most annoyed with people who pretended to understand and misled their children. She said to her daughter: "Okay, don't read it anymore. You and Zhou Zhou go and play with your eldest brother and the others." Let’s go!”
Zhou Ying went back to her room happily, put down her books, and went to play with her brother with Zhou Zhou.
Two thousand kilograms of dried fish were dried all over the roof and yard of the house. They couldn't finish drying them all. They also dried the roof and yard of my great-grandma's house. Mother Zhou took some more and went to the new house. Only after drying them all.
After drying the dried fish and having lunch, Jiang Xia took her money and tickets and rode her bicycle to the town to buy jars, oil, sesame and other seasonings, as well as fishing nets, fishing lines, wires and other things. Come back and make fish cages.
The jar can be delivered, but other items must be picked up by yourself.
When she came back, her bicycle was loaded with things. When she passed by the production team, someone inside called out to her: "Jiang Xia, there is your letter and package."
Now all the letters and packages are there. It was sent to the production team.
Jiang Xia went in and took the letter and package. The letter was from Zhang Fulan, and the package was from Jiang Dong. It was a big box.
After returning home, Jiang Xia unpacked Jiang Dong's package first. There were some high school review materials, a letter, and several kilograms of wool thread, some in off-white, some in gray, and some in camel.
Why send her wool? She can't knit a sweater!
But Jiang Dong’s letter also asked her to knit a scarf for him?
She doesn’t know how to do this either!
I wonder if Zhou Chenglei can knit?
Jiang Xia read Zhang Fulan's letter again, and then her eyes lit up.
Money is coming!
There is one more chapter, around 11:30!
