Chapter 259 Divided by Number of People
Jiang Xia felt that the possibility of what Zhou Chengxin said was extremely small. After all, those boxes seemed to be well sealed, how could they fall out?
And there should be separate boxes for small items such as rings.
But she didn’t say anything to dampen the mood. What if she could really find something missing?
The three of them quickly put on diving equipment, put on iron hooks and net bags, and went into the sea to catch sea urchins/pick up sea urchins.
Jiang Xia dived into the seabed and saw the colorful coral reef that Zhou Chenglei mentioned.
It’s exactly the same as what you saw on TV.
When the light shines down, the sea water is rippling with blue waves. It is very beautiful and shocking!
This area is already very beautiful. How shocking would it be if it were the entire seabed?
The fish near the coral reef are scared away by the people coming and going.
When Zhou Chenglei came down in the morning, there were many large and small fish swimming near the coral reef. The scene was much more beautiful.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xia didn't see it. Zhou Chenglei decided to take her down to see it again tomorrow.
Zhou Chengxin first went to the hole in the middle of the coral reef to look for any fish that had slipped through the net.
Zhou Chenglei didn't go after seeing it. He took Jiang Xia for a circle around the coral reef. After admiring it, he took Jiang Xia to swim to the place where he found the sea urchin that morning.
Jiang Xia was surprised to see so many sea urchins!
Didn’t Wen Wan and the others see it?
But it’s a bit far away from the coral reef, so it’s normal that Wenwan and the others didn’t notice it.
Fortunately I didn’t see it!
Zhou Chenglei knew that Jiangxia would not collect sea urchins, so he demonstrated it first.
So Jiang Xia watched Zhou Chenglei holding the net bag in his left hand and the iron hook in his right hand, and quickly hooked one black and purple sea urchin into the net bag one after another.
Jiang Xia understood it at a glance and imitated his example of collecting sea urchins.
At first Jiang Xia's movements were not as fast as Zhou Chenglei's, but after a few minutes, she became more proficient in her movements and moved faster and faster.
After another ten minutes, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia almost filled their net bags with sea urchins, and Zhou Chengxin finally swam over.
He spread his hands and said he found nothing.
As expected, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia were not too surprised. So many people had gone looking for it, so it was strange that they could leave something behind.
Zhou Chenglei knew that there were many sea urchins, so they all brought one or two extra net bags with them.
When one net bag was full, Zhou Chenglei took it, and Jiang Xia changed to another net bag to continue collecting sea urchins.
Until Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei's net bags are full, and the sea urchins are almost finished, Zhou Chengxin can collect the rest. He still has one net bag that is not full.
Zhou Chenglei also took over the net bag that Zhou Chengxin filled, and then he swam up with Jiang Xia with five net bags.
Zhou Chenglei first hung five net pockets of sea urchins on the edge of the boat, then he climbed on board, and then pulled Jiang Xia on board.
Then he pulled five net bags of sea urchins onto the boat.
Jiang Xia took off his diving equipment, found his watch and took a look at the time. It was already five o'clock.
After Zhou Chenglei took off his diving equipment, he picked up the kettle and unscrewed the lid and handed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and drank a few sips before handing it back to Zhou Chenglei.
After the couple finished drinking the water and poured the sea urchins in the net bag into the basket, Zhou Chengxin also came up.
Zhou Chenglei sailed to the cage location, went into the sea to feed the fish, and then went back directly.
It was past seven o'clock when Jiang Xia returned to the village dock. Jiang Xia saw a large ship in the distance.
She smiled and said: "Dad is back!"
Zhou Chenglei also saw it and responded: "Yes."
Zhou Chengxin said with a smile: "I didn't expect Dad to be like this I’ve been back a long time ago, I thought it would take two days for dad to come back!”
Zhou Chenglei: "There is probably a typhoon."
Typhoons in autumn are quite active.
Soon, the fishing boat found a place to dock.
It was getting dark at this time, many fishing boats had docked, and there were not many people on the pier. Only two or three people were queuing up to sell fish at the purchasing office. Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, Tian Caihua and Tian Caixing were all waiting at the dock. When the four saw the fishing boat docking, they ran over.
Father Zhou smiled and said: "It's so late, did you catch a lot of fish today?"
Although Father Zhou only saw three baskets of sea urchins, Father Zhou I absolutely don’t believe that someone with great wealth followed him out to sea and only brought back these baskets of sea urchins!
It is estimated that a big fish was sold at the city pier.
But so many sea urchins can be sold for more than a hundred yuan,
Jiang Xia smiled and replied: "Not bad, when did dad come back?"
Father Zhou said with a smile: "I came back at about three o'clock in the afternoon."
Wangcai said "not bad", so today's income is definitely in the thousands!
Tian Caixing has never seen a sea urchin and doesn’t know what this little thing covered with thorns is. He said somewhat triumphantly: "You come back so late and you bring back several baskets of this thing? Someone wants this thing covered in thorns. Did you lose all your oil money when you went out to sea today? It’s better to go out to sea with me and catch a boatload of fish every day!”
Tian Caihua stepped on him and whispered: “This is a sea urchin! It’s more expensive than many fish, and a basket can cost you a boatload of fish!”
What’s the use of catching a boatload of fish? Only this basketful of sea urchins can be carried!
Tian Caixing's eyes widened: "What? This guy with thorns has only a few ounces of meat at first glance, and he is more expensive than fish?"
Tian Caihua thinks his elder brother is too embarrassed Got it!
Why don’t you even recognize sea urchins?
Do sea urchins eat meat? Sea urchins eat the yolk inside!
Although I don’t like to eat this thing, I don’t understand why it is valuable.
Zhou Chengxin didn't expect that Tian Caixing hadn't left yet, so he ignored his words and walked to the acquisition office carrying a load of sea urchins.
Tian Caixing followed him obediently. He wanted to see how much these thorny guys could be sold for.
After Zhou Chenglei helped Jiang Xia off the boat, he returned to the boat and pointed at the black sea bream, half a bucket of small squid and a small half of netted sea urchins that Jiang Xia had caught in the bucket, and said to Zhou's father: "Dad, these are all Bring some food home."
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let your mother make it tonight."
It just so happened that he brought some fish from the open sea back today. I invited my eldest son and his family to have dinner at home.
Zhou Chenglei picked up the remaining baskets of sea urchins and walked to the purchase office.
Mother Zhou smiled and said to Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, my father-in-law called you today and asked you to call home when you are free. He left a message asking you and A Lei to go home for dinner when you are free. "
Jiang Xia responded, and then she saw that the production team was closed, so she could only call Father Jiang back tomorrow.
After Zhou's father took the fish off the boat, he called Zhou's mother to go home and cook the fish. Jiang Xia went back with him, not waiting for Zhou Chenglei and the others. It was too late and she was hungry and tired.
Because there were not many fish sellers, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin quickly sold the three baskets of sea urchins.
A total of one hundred and twenty-eight yuan and sixty-eight cents were sold.
Tian Caixing regretted it to death!
If he went to sea today, he would be able to get more than 40 yuan if divided among three families!
The money from the previous fish sales had been divided, and Zhou Chengxin counted out eighty-six yuan and gave it to Zhou Chenglei.
Seeing him counting so much money to Zhou Chenglei, Tian Caixing couldn't help but said: "Axin, you counted it wrong! Isn't it divided between two families? Sixty-four yuan is the right amount for each family! You counted it Eighty-six yuan! Wrong calculation!"
Zhou Chengxin said calmly: "No, it was divided between three people. The three of them went to the sea to harvest the sea urchins together."
Tian Caixing frowned after hearing this. How many sea urchins can a woman pick up from the sea?
The sea urchin has so many thorns, does she dare to pick it up?
Did Zhou Chengxin want to help his brother, or did he deliberately give more money to Zhou Chenglei and take the opportunity to hide some private money?
No, he has to tell Ahua about this!
Even if Zhou Chengxin didn't want to hide his private money, it was wrong for Zhou Chengxin to do this.
It was agreed that one person from each family would be half divided, how could it be divided based on the number of people?
According to the number of people, why didn’t you ask him to go to sea with Ahua today? Wouldn’t that mean we can share more money?
If the money is divided according to the number of people in the future, then we should ask the brothers Shangguang Zongyaozu and the brothers from his family to go to sea together to see who gets the most!
