Chapter 188 Phone Call
Father Jiang took it and took a look, surprise flashed in his eyes: "So many?"
Jiang Xia explained it in detail, and then took out all the customs declaration forms, auction materials, tax receipts and other documents for the pearls and showed them to Jiang's father, asking him to see if there were any problems: "Dad, take a look."
Zhang Rong was very reliable and gave her all the complete information.
Jiang's father took it and read it carefully. After he finished, he gave it back to Jiang Xia and said with a smile, "Not bad, you've become a little rich woman, richer than your parents. If the pearl is really good, the price would not be particularly high if it were auctioned abroad. It's normal."
Jiang Xia smiled and talked about booking a boat.
The discount on the ship was also large, so Jiang's father had to know about it. Although this discount was obtained by Zhou Chenglei and her ability, the people in the shipyard didn't even know whose daughter she was.
Father Jiang felt sad and comforted after hearing his daughter's detailed explanation. He couldn't help but blink, turned his head to look out the window, and quietly wiped his eyes.
The daughter has become more and more considerate after getting married. She always thinks about her old father and does things carefully.
When Jiang Xia saw it, he turned around and took the banner and handed it to Jiang's father.
Father Jiang raised an eyebrow and took it and asked with a smile: "Where did the banner come from? A-Lei's?"
They had dinner in the city, which was not far away and they arrived very quickly. Father Jiang felt that he had not even spoken a few words to his daughter before they arrived, and he still had many questions he wanted to ask but he didn't get to ask them.
It was not convenient to talk too deeply with so many people around during the meal, so Jiang's father only asked questions such as when the big ship was received and when Zhou Chenglei would come back.
The meal didn't take long, and was over in less than an hour.
Then Zhang Rui drove a jeep to take Jiang Xia and the others back to the village.
***For the next two days, Jiang Xia translated at home in the morning, made small fish in the afternoon, and learned to weave fishing nets in the evening.
Zhang Fuyan sent her a lot of oil coupons, and the Marquis even went to the village in person to deliver the coupons to her, asking her to make as many small fish as possible five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He would drive a tractor to collect them every day.
Jiangxia announced that they would buy a large amount of small fish and dried fish, and many villagers would catch some and sell them to them.
Zhou Bingqiang's family has temporarily stopped collecting dried fish as they are too busy and are making a net loss. They also don't have the oil coupons to buy oil to continue their business.
Moreover, collecting dried fish is very expensive. They spent several thousand yuan to rent the sea area, and they also had to buy materials to make fish cages, which was another huge expense, and build houses was another.
In short, there is not enough money and all the savings have been spent!
The three fishing boats went out to sea to fish, and the profit of three or four hundred yuan a day was not enough. Zhou Guohua's two elder brothers were dissatisfied.
Zhou Bingqiang had no choice but to stop collecting dried fish for the time being and concentrate on going out to sea to make money with his three sons.
He even wanted to sell the dried fish to the Jiang Xia family, but he didn't have the nerve to do it! Therefore, more and more people came to Grandma's house to sell dried fish and small fish recently.
Jiang Xia didn't care about these things. Both Grandma and He Xinghuan were busy collecting the dried fish and small fish. When they were too busy, Zhou's mother would help.
But Zhou's mother didn't have much free time either. She had to make the pearl oyster larvae attachment device and mesh according to Jiang Xia's instructions. The mesh was extremely difficult to make, and she couldn't ask anyone else to do it, and she couldn't let others know about it.
Only she and Tian Caihua did it.
Jiang Xia stayed at home for two days and then went out to sea every day to see the pearl oysters.
Because some pearl oysters that are put back into the sea after their pearls are opened die every day, we have been out to sea for five days in a row, and today, we have finally not found any dead pearl oysters.
Father Zhou calculated: "About 50% survived, and the pearls opened by Xiaoxia survived the most."
A good fortune teller is a good fortune teller. Father Zhou wants to let Jiang Xia open all the pearls in the future, and no one else should touch them! They are all unlucky! Zhou Chengxin said regretfully: "The survival rate is too low!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's not low. After all, this is our first attempt. There will be more and more in the future."
Jiang Xia heard that after the nucleus was inserted, the mortality rate of pearl oysters was higher, reaching more than 70%. Anyway, it was difficult to raise them! Father Zhou smiled and said, "Yes!"
He just likes Wangcai's mentality! Zhou Chengxin also laughed.
No matter what, as long as he is alive, it proves that Jiang Xia was right.
From now on, as long as we are careful when taking pearls from the pearl oysters and let them live, they will produce pearls continuously.
Tian Caihua also went out to sea today. She was very happy. In the future, the family would have a steady supply of pearls to sell. Wouldn't that make them rich? She asked Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, now that the pearl oysters are alive, should we start planting the pearl oysters?"
Jiang Xia: "Not so fast. We should wait until we have more pearl oysters before we insert the nuclei. Because once the nuclei are inserted, some of them will probably die, and there won't be many pearl oysters left. It is better to wait until more pearl oysters are produced before we try to insert the nuclei. Now is not the peak breeding season for pearl oysters. The peak breeding season will be in April or May next year. We will see if we can breed more pearl oysters then."
Zhou Chengxin now takes time every day to go down to the seabed to check on the growth of the pearl oysters. He also places the pearl oysters on the grid made by Jiangmu and Tian Caihua, and sometimes he also has to install the accessory devices for the pearl oyster larvae.
Anyway, they have to go down to the seabed for an hour or two every day to release fish and take care of pearl oysters. They also have to avoid people when they do this, for fear that someone will discover where they put the cages.
Although their cages are placed deep and it is difficult for ordinary people to dive so deep, it is still better to be careful.
Now the fish are doing well, the pearl oysters are alive, and the whole family is full of hope.
Tian Caihua said happily: "Okay, then I'll go back and grind some more small round cores!"
Father Zhou: "You should weave more nets! We will need a lot of hanging nets when the time comes."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He was not worried about the small round core that was ground from flowers in the field, because that was the thing that was put into the pearl oyster's belly and decided whether the pearl oyster could grow pearls in the future or what kind of pearls it would grow!
What kind of good pearls can grow from the small round core polished by Tian Caihua, that unlucky little expert?
Not only did they not grow pearls, but they all died!
Father Zhou was afraid of her.
Because he deliberately marked all the pearl oysters she touched, the pearl oysters she touched died most often.
So not all jobs can be done by Tian Caihua!
Tian Caihua had no idea that Zhou's father was criticizing her, and said happily, "That's fine too!"
After finishing all this, they continued to sail and trawle.
After the boat sailed for a distance, Zhou's father saw from afar Zhou Bingqiang's fishing boat placing net cages in the distance.
Jiang Xia took a look and found that the fish cage was not as big as the one in her house.
But Zhou Bingqiang’s boat is not big enough to carry larger fish cages out to sea.
Zhou's father had no interest in going over to see, but instead quickly drove the boat away.
Today, I pulled four nets, most of which were Spanish mackerel and redwood fish, totaling more than 1,000 kilograms. The redwood fish was dried and not sold, but the remaining Spanish mackerel should be able to sell for 500 or 600 yuan.
After returning to the dock, Jiang Xia heard the broadcast saying that there would be a typhoon in the next two days, and asked everyone not to go out to sea, especially not to go to the open sea.
The first thing the family was wondering was whether Zhou Chenglei had received the message and started to return home.
Should they start coming back? After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in two days. Jiang Xia got off the fishing boat absentmindedly, and Zhou Li ran over at this time: "Xiao Xia, your mother called you several times today, you should go and answer her!"
Thank you for voting and rewarding friends~
Warm reminder: Everyone should be more careful when receiving unfamiliar calls in the future, and it is best to cover the front camera.
Yesterday, my family member received a call from a stranger. As soon as he answered the phone, the camera was turned on and pointed at his face. He was so scared that he immediately hung up the phone and turned off the Internet! I later checked the call log and it showed that it was a video call. I asked him if the video call was displayed when he answered the phone, and he said he didn't notice it.
Everyone, please be more careful when you receive strange phone calls!
