Chapter 142 Letter from the Capital
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when all the fish were killed and marinated.
Zhou Chenglei walked into the room after taking a shower. Jiang Xia was keeping accounts.
She recorded in clear order how much money this batch of fish cost, how much it cost to hire someone to kill the fish, how long it took, and how much it cost to buy salt for pickling. She also recorded in clear order how much money and time were spent.
She even used a new notebook to record the speed at which each person she invited tonight killed fish.
Zhou Chenglei came to her with a cool and refreshing breath, took a 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 coolness of his skin.
This is unique to having just taken a bath in ice-cold well water.
They both spoke at the same time: "I have an idea."
Everyone laughed as they finished speaking.
Zhou Chenglei kissed the back of her neck again.
Jiang Xia turned to face him, put her arms around his neck, and their eyes met, with smiles in each other's eyes.
There's light in Jiang Xia's eyes when she smiles, and she looks at people very gently. The corners of her lips are gracefully raised when she smiles, and her whole face is extremely beautiful.
Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but peck her little mouth lightly, and then he pressed his nose against her forehead, nose to nose: "You speak first."
"I want to buy some fresh squid, dried fish, small yellow croaker, various small fish and dried fish from the villagers on a long-term basis. ..."
September is coming in two days, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a few months. Jiangxia wants to collect some squids, eels, mullets, small yellow croakers and various small fishes to make various snacks and try to sell them. After opening up the market, 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 everything would increase in price so that she could resell it and make a profit.
Every fisherman’s household will dry some fish, but not much, most of them are miscellaneous fish.
Miscellaneous dried fish can also be collected. If the miscellaneous dried fish from every household are collected and classified, they are no longer miscellaneous dried fish.
Jiang Xia believed that after she spread the word that his family would buy dried fish, everyone would start drying them.
Normally, villagers don’t dry fish, mainly because they are afraid of the trouble of selling them in the city, but if someone is willing to buy them, I believe everyone will dry some, after all, dried fish is more profitable.
The most important thing is that autumn is coming soon. Autumn is a good season for drying fish. It is not as troublesome as drying fish in summer. At least the weather is cooler and there is no need to worry about the fish going bad.
The weather is clear and sunny in autumn, so everything dries faster when it is exposed to the sun.
Jiang Xia expressed her thoughts, "What do you think?"
Zhou Chenglei kissed her: "Okay."
"To make snacks, I need to buy some materials. I may have to invest a lot of money in the early stage. Am I afraid of losing money?"
"Don't be afraid, you won't lose."
"How do you know?"
"The dishes you cook are delicious, and the snacks you make must be delicious too. Besides, you don't have to worry about losing money. If you lose money, you can earn it again. After all, as long as you make money, you have it. It's not like you can lose it and it won't come back. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
It made so much sense that she couldn't even 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 piece of sea and set up some cages to try to raise fish in the sea."
Jiang Xia instantly perked up: "What kind of fish do you want to raise?"
"Isn't there an article in the magazine you brought back to translate that introduces a successful case of breeding red sea bream in an island country? Plus, I've seen how others breed red sea bream before. So I want to try breeding red sea bream first, which is also known as snapper. I can also try a few more types of fish, such as red sea bream, large yellow croaker, grouper, etc. I'll breed whichever one is successful. I think..."
Zhou Chenglei thinks it is only a matter of time before the country restricts fishing. After all, there are more and more fishing boats, and some fish have become less in the sea. Take the yellow croaker for example, the number has decreased significantly in the past two years, and the price has become more and more expensive. In addition to the yellow croaker, other fish also have a decreasing trend, so the future of seafood is expected to be mainly farmed.
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, farmed fish in the future will definitely not be as expensive as wild ones, but farmed fish have the advantage of large quantities.
Small numbers are not good for long term calculations. As long as the quantity is large enough, you can earn a lot.
Moreover, he did not just raise fish and not go out to sea to fish. He just wanted to rent an area of sea suitable for raising fish to gain an advantage so that he could go out to sea to fish and raise fish at the same time.
Zhou Chenglei also expressed his plan to raise the baby together with Zhou Chengxin.
He hugged her and told Jiang Xia all his thoughts.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Xia: "I think it's great, but the contract for the sea area should not be limited to five years, it can be longer, twenty years, thirty years is fine."
"Then do you have any objection to working with Big Brother?"
"No, Big Brother is very good. Now we take turns to use the fishing boat. We have no choice but to work together. Besides, when the business becomes bigger in the future, you can rest assured that Big Brother will help you manage it."
Both of them understood 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, she understands, how lucky she is to understand! He kissed her.
My hands are not idle either.
Jiang Xia trembled slightly, grabbed his wrist, and dodged: "It's too late, you have to go out to sea tomorrow."
"I know."
He knew it, but he had no intention of stopping.
Didn’t she say that she wouldn’t go out to sea tomorrow?
The next day, Zhou Chenglei, Zhou's father and Zhou Chengsen went out to sea at around four o'clock again.
Jiang Xia did not go out to sea, as there were so many fish to turn over and dry. Jiang Xia was afraid that Zhou's mother would be too busy, so he stayed at home to help.
When she didn't have to go out to sea, she would sleep until six o'clock. 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 trellis to read English. When Jiang Xia heard some incorrect pronunciation, he corrected her pronunciation.
Zhou Ying read it again according to Jiang Xia's pronunciation.
Li Xiuxian couldn't help it after Jiang Xia corrected her several times. She hated people who pretended to know everything and misled the students. She said to her daughter, "Okay, you don't have to study anymore. You and Zhou Zhou can go play with your big brother and the others!"
Zhou Ying happily went back to her room, put down her book, and went to play with her brother with Zhou Zhou.
Two thousand kilograms of dried fish filled the roof and yard of the house, but they couldn't finish drying them all, so they also filled the roof and yard of great-grandmother's house. Mother Zhou took some to the new house to dry, and finally all the fish were dried.
After drying the fish and having lunch, Jiang Xia took the money and tickets and rode his bicycle to the town to buy jars, oil, sesame and other seasonings. He also needed to buy fishing nets, fishing lines, wire and other things to make fish cages.
The jars can be delivered, but you have to pick up the other items yourself.
On her way back, her bicycle was full of stuff. When she passed by the production team, someone inside called her, "Jiang Xia, there are letters and packages for you."
Now all letters and parcels are sent to the production team.
Jiang Xia went in and took the letter and the package. The letter was from Zhang Fuyan, and the package was from Jiang Dong, a big box.
After returning home, Jiang Xia first opened Jiang Dong's package. Inside was some high school review materials, a letter, and several pounds of wool yarn in beige, gray, and camel colors.
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 can't knit that either! I wonder if Zhou Chenglei can knit?
Jiang Xia went to read Zhang Fuyan's letter again, and his eyes lit up.
Fortune is coming! There is one more chapter, around 11:30!
