Chapter 173: Too Difficult to Serve (Two Chapters in One)
After Zhou Chenglei and others moved the iron frames to the dock, the large iron frame at the back had not been completely welded.
Zhou Chenglei borrowed a power source from the acquisition office so that Zhou's father and the others could continue welding, while he and Jiang Xia went to the city shipyard to transport the anchor.
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 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 raise pearls in the future. There is some father of pearls in the island country who is not very good at raising pearls." ? Let’s give it a try, 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 he has a good chance of becoming 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.
There is an archipelago near Pearl Island, where the seawater temperature never drops below 20 degrees Celsius, and the salinity of the seawater 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 water flow is slow. This is 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.
Of course, except for typhoon days.
Even in Shelter Alley on a typhoon day, 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 his diving equipment, jumped into the sea, and dived 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 faced the boat on the boat not far away. The man waved his hand and said, "Send the ship to me!"
Father Zhou and Zhou Chengxin had been paying attention to the sea, and after hearing this, they quickly drove the boat 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 chain is very heavy, measured in hundreds of tons.
Therefore, 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 moving it. Fortunately, there was a crane, but it took almost half an hour to throw the anchor.
And the crane was making a squeaking sound.
After one anchor is dropped, the ship must be moved to another location to continue dropping the second anchor.
After that, the fishing net is 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 to the bottom of the sea, 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, and three young men take turns putting on diving suits and going to the bottom of the sea to work.
It took a full 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 a total of four large buckets of fish.
Who understands 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 several hundred 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 silence to waves, and are territorial, there are only so many houses, so there is nothing they can do.
The rest of the other fish are placed in the same cage.
Now the mesh of the two cages is relatively large, and 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 to make them grow faster.
Now he will try to raise them first. Once he is sure that these fish can survive, Zhou Chenglei will build a few more cages and put them on the seabed, and then drive a big boat to bring back a batch of fry.
After placing 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 still many people at the pier.
When everyone saw Zhou Chenglei's boat coming back, they all came 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.
The boatload of fish sold for 4,000 yuan yesterday, which deeply stimulated him. Today, Zhou Bingqiang went out to sea to fish and returned home an hour later than usual.
Zhou's father smiled and said to the villagers: "There is no fishing today. Didn't I say that Ah Lei will try to raise fish? Let's set up cages to raise fish. Has anyone caught more expensive live fish? I will pay a high price!"
After Father Zhou finished speaking, someone immediately responded:
"Yes! I caught a rat spot!"
"Do you want it, Mackerel?"
…
Villagers who caught live fish carried buckets and walked towards Zhou's father!
Zhou Bingqiang glanced at everyone rushing to carry buckets to sell fish to Zhou's father, pursed his lips and left.
Gentle Meng can predict the future, and the days are still long, so 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 ask for it: "It's the money from the fish Xiaoxia and dad caught, what are you doing for me?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Brother, take it! It's your turn to go to sea today. The money should be yours. If you hadn't been 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! Everyone has half." Zhou Chenglei was afraid that Zhou Chengxin didn't bring home a penny, and Tian Caihua would have objections.
Zhou Chenglei has experienced how miserable his life is when his husband and wife are at odds.
But at that time, Jiang Xia was just making trouble for a divorce, not like Tian Caihua.
Zhou Chengxin said angrily: "Didn't you say that if you partner with me to raise fish, we will earn half of the money each person earns from raising fish in the future? Now you have spent thousands on renting sea areas, making cages, and buying anchors and anchor chains. Today I just Isn’t it right to put in some effort? Otherwise, I don’t have to pay, and I still have to get paid for the work, so why should I share half of the money? 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, there is no trawl and no money is made today. Ah Lei plans to raise fish and asked me to work in partnership with him. Today we are going to put the cages in."
Didn't she think that Fourth Brother and Xiaoxia would not partner with them if they had money-making jobs?
Now the fourth brother is partnering with him in fish farming?
Every day, I use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Caihua almost went crazy after hearing this!
She heard what the villagers said about this. She originally thought that Zhou Chengxin was just helping Zhou Chenglei, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be 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 with raising fish? I don’t allow you to raise them!”
Zhou Chengxin's face turned dark, "If you don't understand, don't talk too much! We have a sense of propriety!"
She was unhappy if Jiang Xia didn'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 I didn’t want to quarrel with her!
It doesn't matter if she is happy or not, just be happy if she is happy. If she is not happy or unhappy, if you care about her too much, nothing will happen!
Tian Caihua burst into tears!
Today was their turn to go to sea, but Zhou Chengxin didn't 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 built 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 bottom of the sea. 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.
After spending so much time, money and energy raising fish, will it be more profitable than catching a single fish in the sea?
Everyone thought Zhou Chenglei was crazy and had so much money that he had no place to spend it.
Tian Caihua felt that not only Zhou Chenglei was crazy, but Zhou Chengxin was also crazy!
As the eldest brother, he was as if Zhou Chenglei had given him some ecstasy soup, and he would listen to him in everything he said.
He also didn't want to think about why Zhou Chenglei asked him to partner in fish farming.
Zhou Chenglei has a big ship that goes out to sea, and it lasts ten and a half months. 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 really a good thing that Zhou Chenglei didn't come to their home because he was exhausted and couldn't make anything, so he came to their home.
Bullying their husband and wife for being honest and kind!
Zhou Chenglei just keeps fish, don't harm their family!
***
Zhou family's old house
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 collection place.
He heard the noise in his son's room and curiously asked Zhou's mother: "What is A Lei doing in the room?"
Mother Zhou: "He said the chair legs were loose, so 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.
Zhou's father 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! Are you ready yet?"
Zhou Chenglei was huddled under the bed and responded: "Come on, you guys eat first."
Father Zhou couldn't help but muttered: "Does the chair have so many legs? It has been nailed for so long and it has not been nailed yet?"
Jiang Xia felt guilty, "It's a desk, and the desk legs are loose!"
After saying that, she shouted to the room: "Zhou Chenglei comes out to eat!"
Father Zhou was surprised: "Your desk is not new, so your legs got loose so quickly?"
When they got married, everything in the room was newly purchased.
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: "..."
Then Father Zhou discovered that Jiang Xia's face, which was usually so white that it glowed brightly, turned red!
Zhou's father suddenly felt blessed.
Oh, the love between husband and wife, and the wealth!
He loudly shouted 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.
He grabbed it.
Go straight in.
Experiments have proven that the nailing is quite stable.
It was true that he had many nails driven into each leg of the bed.
***
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 had some 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 said her name is Zhang Fulan. You call her back at six o'clock."
When Jiang Xia heard this, she glanced at her watch. It was almost six o'clock. She thanked her and said to Zhou Chenglei, "You and dad should 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!"
