Chapter 173: Too Difficult to Serve (Two Chapters in One)
After Zhou Chenglei and others moved the iron frame to the dock, the big iron frame at the back had not been completely welded.
Zhou Chenglei borrowed a power source at the acquisition office to let Zhou's father and the others continue welding, while he and Jiang Xia went to the city shipyard to transport the anchor first.
Jiang Xia stopped by the shipyard to sign the orders for the two ships placed yesterday.
It was already past eight o'clock when Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia came back from the city pier. The pier was bustling with activity. They went out to sea many nights, and the fishing boats that came back in the morning were selling fish, and many villagers came to buy it.
It took some time for the big ship to dock. After finally landing, four men moved the welded iron frame to the big ship.
After struggling all morning, we arrived at the Pearl Island waters around ten o’clock.
Pearl Island was named by Jiang Xia. After all, her family rented it and it would belong to her family for the next twenty years, so she gave it a name to make it easier to distinguish between the two leased sea areas.
One is called Pearl Island and the other is called Coral Island. As soon as you hear the name, you can tell which island it is in the sea.
When Father Zhou heard Jiang Xia shouting like this, he smiled and said: "These two names are very good. They sound very rich at first sight. Maybe we can also cultivate pearls in the future. Is there some kind of pearl farm over there in the island country?" Isn’t my father very good at raising pearls? Let’s try it. Maybe I can become the “Master of Pearls” in the future.
Who is my father? I am so powerful!
Wangcai’s golden touch can produce pearls from any pearl oyster she touches. The pearl oysters she raises should be more obedient, and the pearls they produce will definitely be big, round and shiny!
So there is still a good chance that he will become the "Master of Pearls"!
Jiang Xia laughed after hearing this: "Dad, does it sound better if it's not the ancestor of pearls?"
Father Zhou's eyes lit up: "Yes! The ancestor of pearls!"
Zubi Ye is more powerful!
Xiao Wangcai still has great ideas.
He, the ancestor of pearls, is safe!
Jiang Xia was amused by Zhou's father and looked at the islands in the distance.
Near Pearl Island is an archipelago. The seawater temperature here is no lower than 20 degrees Celsius, and the seawater salinity is high, which is conducive to the rapid growth of fish.
The most important thing is that this sea area is a natural haven because of the existence of the archipelago.
Generally, in sea areas where abalone and pearl oysters can grow, the waves are not too big and the flow of the sea water is slow, because abalone and pearl oysters do not like places with big waves. They like silence.
The waves are not big, so it is more suitable to put the cages on the seabed to raise fish.
Except for typhoon days, of course.
Even in the Shelter Alley on typhoon days, there is not completely no wind and waves, but there will be much less.
Zhou Chenglei found a place not far from the island and stopped the boat.
Zhou Chengxin also parked the boat next to him.
While putting on the diving equipment, Zhou Chenglei said to Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Yongguo: "I'll go down and take a look first. You guys wait for me on the boat."
So Zhou Chenglei put on the diving equipment, jumped into the sea, and dived in He went to the bottom of the sea to find a suitable place to put the cage. He swam far away and found the most suitable place to put the cage. Then he swam out of the sea and waved to the people on the boat not far away: "You can drive the boat to me." Here!”
Zhou’s father and Zhou Chengxin had been paying attention to the sea, and after hearing this, they quickly sailed over.
When the boat came over, Zhou Chenglei climbed on the boat and lowered one of the anchors into the sea with everyone.
The anchor plus the anchor chain is very heavy, measured in hundreds of tons.
So when the anchor is thrown from the ship, it is best to find the right position in advance, otherwise it will sink into the bottom of the sea and hold tightly, making it difficult to move in the water.
Jiang Xia couldn't help, so she fished, but she saw that the four of them were having a hard time lifting it. Fortunately, there was a crane, but it took almost half an hour to throw the anchor.
And the crane made a harsh sound.
After one anchor is dropped, the ship must be driven to another location to continue dropping the second anchor.
After that, the fishing nets are put on the iron frame to make a cage, and then thrown into the sea.
After the cage is thrown into the sea, it is necessary to dive into the seabed, fix the cage, and drive piles to stop it to prevent it from being washed away by the waves.
The fixed cage is operated underwater. Three young men took turns putting on diving suits and going to the bottom of the sea to work.
It took six hours of work before it was basically fixed.
Zhou Chenglei felt that it was not enough, and he would buy some more iron pillars to drive and reinforce them.
Father Zhou and Jiang Xia were fishing peacefully on the boat.
Father Zhou has never been so happy fishing in his life!
The two people fished for about five hours and caught four large buckets of fish in total.
Who knows this happiness?
Going to sea with Wangcai is a lot of fun and a lot of money.
Why wasn’t this girl born to him? If he had been raised by his side since childhood, Zhou's father felt that he would be the richest man in the world now.
No, if you couldn't be the richest man in those previous periods, then you might be the leader of a country.
Zhou Chenglei saw that Jiang Xia and his father had caught a lot of good fish together.
It’s just that not many are worth raising, because big fish don’t need to be raised.
Zhou Chenglei picked a dragon weighing two kilograms, a tiger stripe weighing about eighty two kilograms, two gargi fish weighing half a kilogram and eighty kilograms, a small large yellow croaker, and a yellow-lipped fish weighing about three kilograms.
Both the dragon grouper and the yellow-lipped fish can grow to hundreds of kilograms. Zhou Chenglei kept them in two cages. The tiger grouper and the dragon grouper were also kept together.
Although most groupers like to live alone, prefer tranquility to waves, and are territorial, there are only so many houses, so there is nothing they can do.
The rest of the fish are placed in the same cage.
Now the mesh of the two cages is relatively large. Small fish and shrimps can swim in. There is no need to worry about them starving to death. Tomorrow I will put some small fish and shrimps for them to eat and let them grow. Gotta go faster.
We will try raising them now. Once it is confirmed that these fish can survive, Zhou Chenglei will make a few more cages and put them on the seabed, and then drive a big boat to bring back a batch of fry.
After putting all the fish in the cages, it was already six o'clock and the sun was almost setting. The two boats quickly returned home.
When Zhou Chenglei and the others returned to the pier, there were many people at the pier.
Everyone saw Zhou Chenglei's boat coming back, and they all stepped forward to see what fish they had caught today.
Even Zhou Bingqiang couldn't help but poke his head in to take a look.
In the end, I only saw a few barrels of fish, and I didn’t know if they were sold at the city pier.
Yesterday, the boatload of fish was sold for 4,000 yuan, which deeply stimulated him. Today, Zhou Bingqiang went out to sea to fish and returned home an hour later than usual.
Father Zhou smiled and said to the villagers: "There is no fishing today. Didn't I say that Ah Lei is going to try to raise fish? Let's go put the cages to raise fish. Has anyone caught the more expensive live fish? ? I’ll pay you a high price!”
After Zhou’s father finished speaking, someone immediately responded:
“Yes! I caught a mouse spot!”
“Do you want it? ?”
……
The villagers who caught live fish walked towards Zhou’s father with buckets!
Zhou Bingqiang glanced at everyone rushing to carry buckets to Zhou's father to sell fish, pursed his lips and left.
Wen Wan Meng can foresee the future. The days are still long, and he may not lose to Zhou Yongfu!
***
Zhou Chenglei sold the fish caught by Zhou's father and Jiang Xia for more than 60 yuan. After asking Jiang Xia's opinion, he gave half of the money to Zhou Chengxin.
Zhou Chengxin didn't want it: "It's the money from selling the fish caught by Xiaoxia and dad. What are you doing for me?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Brother, take it! It's your turn today When you go to sea, the money should be yours. If you weren't busy setting up the cages and not trawling, you wouldn't have earned a penny."
Zhou Chenglei stuffed it into Zhou Chengxin's trouser pocket: "Take it. Let's go! Everyone gets half." Zhou Chenglei was afraid that Zhou Chengxin wouldn't take home a penny, and Tian Caihua would have objections.
Zhou Chenglei has experienced how miserable life is when husband and wife are at odds.
But at that time, Jiang Xia just wanted a divorce, not like Tian Caihua.
Zhou Chengxin said angrily: "Didn't you say that if you partner with me to raise fish, each of you will earn half of the money you earn from raising fish in the future? Now you have spent several dollars on renting sea areas, making cages, and buying anchors and anchor chains. It’s a big deal. I just put in some effort today, shouldn’t I? Otherwise I don’t have to pay, and I still have to get paid for the work, so why should I share half of it? I’ll give it to Dad when the time comes.”
Zhou Chenglei left him alone. He couldn't stop his eldest brother from being filial to his parents.
So Zhou Chengxin returned to his old house and gave the money to Zhou's mother, saying that it was the money from Zhou's father's fishing today.
Mother Zhou didn’t know the situation, so she took it over.
Zhou Chengxin gave the money to Zhou’s mother and went home.
As soon as Tian Caihua saw Zhou Chengxin coming back, she asked: "How much money did you make when you went to sea by yourself today?"
Zhou Chengxin said calmly: "No, I didn't make any money today without trawling. Ah Lei plans to raise fish and asked me to partner with him. Today we are going to put the cages in. "
Didn't she think that Fourth Brother and Xiao Xia would not partner with them even if they had money-making work?
Isn’t the fourth brother now partnering with him in fish farming?
Every day, I use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!
Tian Caihua almost went crazy after hearing this!
She heard about this from the villagers. She originally thought that Zhou Chengxin was just helping Zhou Chenglei, but she didn't expect that it was a partnership?
"Fish farming in a partnership? There are so many fish in the sea that you can catch, so why raise them? Are fish so easy to raise? By the time the fish are raised, no one will know how many fish have been caught in the sea and how much money they have made. Are you okay? I don’t allow you to raise fish anyway!”
Zhou Chengxin’s face turned dark, “If you don’t understand, don’t talk too much!”
< br>She is unhappy if Jiang Xia doesn’t find her a partner!
Now that A Lei has partnered with him, she is not happy either!
Too difficult to serve!
Zhou Chengxin was too lazy to tell her and went to find clothes to take a bath.
After a day of working on and off the water, I was exhausted and didn’t want to quarrel with her!
It doesn’t matter whether she is happy or not. If she is happy, she will be happy. If she is unhappy, she will be unhappy. If you care about her too much, nothing will happen!
Tian Caihua burst into tears!
Today it was their turn to go to sea, but Zhou Chengxin did not call her to go to sea in the morning. When she went to the vegetable garden to pour vegetables, she heard that Zhou Chenglei had made several large iron frames to make cages and planned to raise fish on the seabed.
There is a big ship that doesn’t go to sea but raises fish in the seabed. Everyone says that he is out of his mind and that his money will float away!
I invested several thousand yuan to rent the sea area, and also planned to buy fish fry from the villagers to raise fish.
Spending so much time, money and energy on raising fish will make more money than catching a fish in the sea.
Everyone thinks Zhou Chenglei is crazy and has too much money to spend.
Tian Caihua felt that not only Zhou Chenglei was crazy, but Zhou Chengxin was also crazy!
As the eldest brother, it was as if Zhou Chenglei had given him an ecstasy, and he would listen to him in everything.
He also didn’t want to think about why Zhou Chenglei approached him to partner in fish farming.
Zhou Chenglei has a big ship that goes out to sea, and it takes ten and a half months to go out. She and Zhou Chengxin are in partnership, doesn't that mean that Zhou Chengxin can help take care of those fish?
How can Zhou Chengxin go fishing when he has to take care of those fish? How can his family make money if he doesn't go fishing?
Do you really think that by building a cage and putting a few fish in it, you can make a lot of money out of the fish?
A typhoon blew away those cages!
It’s a good thing I didn’t see Zhou Chenglei come to their home because he was exhausted and couldn’t make anything, so he came to their home.
Bullying the couple to be honest and kind!
Zhou Chenglei just keeps fish, don’t harm their family!
***
Old House of the Zhou Family
Jiang Xia was taking a bath in the shower room, while Zhou Chenglei was knocking in the room.
Father Zhou returned after collecting the live fish and keeping them in the live cabin of the boat and the water tank at the acquisition place.
He heard the noise in his son's room and asked Zhou's mother curiously: "What is Ah Lei doing in the room?"
Zhou's mother: "He said the chair legs were loose and he nailed them. ”
Jiang Xia happened to come out at this moment, blushed when she heard what the two said, and quickly helped Zhou's mother carry the food.
Father Zhou didn’t think much about it, but Zhou’s mother and Jiang Xia had already moved the food, and Zhou Chenglei was still knocking inside. He shouted loudly: “Lei, it’s time to eat! Haven’t you nailed it yet? ?"
Zhou Chenglei was huddled under the bed and responded: "Come on, you guys eat first."
Father Zhou couldn't help but mumbled: "Does the chair have so many legs? "It took so long to nail it?"
Jiang Xia felt guilty, "It's a desk, and the desk legs are loose!"
After that, she shouted to the room: "Zhou Chenglei came out to eat. !”
Father Zhou was surprised: “Your desk is not new, why did your legs get loose so quickly?”
Everything in the room was new when they got married.
Mother Zhou also asked: "Is the quality so bad? How long ago did you buy it! Is the bed loose? Are the bed and desk a set?"
Jiang Xia: "..."< br>
Then Zhou’s father noticed that Jiang Xia’s face, which was usually so white that it glowed brightly, turned red!
Father Zhou suddenly felt blessed.
Oh, the love between husband and wife, and the wealth!
He loudly said to the people in the room: "Lei, nail it more firmly, don't be in a hurry, I'll leave some food for you."
Zhou Chenglei almost nailed his fingers to the foot of the bed.
In the evening, Zhou Chenglei wanted to test whether the bed nails were stable enough.
Jiang Xia refused.
She felt embarrassed when she thought about eating, and couldn't help but kick him.
Being grasped by him.
Go straight in.
Experiments have proven that the nailing is quite stable.
As expected, he had a lot of nails hammered into each bed leg.
***
The next day we still went out to sea to put cages, this time we went to the coral island area.
Today the four of us gained experience. It was relatively early and we returned to the pier before six o'clock in the evening.
A few people parked the boat and went home together. Zhou Li from the production team finally saw Jiang Xia coming back and chased after her. She smiled and said to Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, I will call you this afternoon! The other party will call you in the afternoon!" She said her name is Zhang Fuyan and asked you to call her back at six o'clock."
Jiang Xia glanced at her watch and saw that six o'clock was coming soon. She thanked her and then said to Zhou Chenglei: "You and dad. Go back first! I’ll call Xiaoyan back.”
The dried fish should have been received.
Zhou Chenglei asked his father and the others to go back first while he accompanied Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia remembered Zhang Fulan’s number and dialed it directly.
The phone was quickly picked up, and Zhang Fulan's cheerful voice came from the receiver: "Xia Xia, I can't find your brother!"
