Chapter 197 Father Zhou wants everyone to support him

After the call was made, Jiang Xia handed the phone to Zhou Chenglei: "Tell the boss that we should order an extra 5,000. You are familiar with him."

Zhou Chenglei frowned: "Wouldn't it be too much to order 5,000 more? We can't fit it all!"

"No, I need 5,000 first. Otherwise, the rest will be sold out soon. If you want to order more, you'll have to wait a long time."

Zhou Li was reading a newspaper, but she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

What? Five thousand? Fish? The call was connected at this time, and Zhou Li heard Zhou Chenglei talking to the person on the other end of the phone: "Boss Jiang, I am Zhou Chenglei who visited your farm two days ago. Yes, that's me. I ordered fish fry from you that day, and I want to order more today. Yes, order five thousand more. Yes, an extra five thousand. Well, please deliver them all together when the time comes. OK, thank you! Yes, this is the address. Well, see you then."

After Zhou Chenglei hung up the phone, Jiang Xia thanked Zhou Li and then took Zhou Chenglei out.

Jiang Xia asked, "Did the boss agree?"

Zhou Chenglei nodded: "I agree, but I'll order 5,000 more. I'm afraid the net cages we've made now won't be enough. The fry are imported from island countries and are a bit expensive. If they're too crowded, they won't survive and it'll be a waste of money."

Jiang Xia said, "How can it be insufficient? Those fry are only seven or eight centimeters long. They need about a year and a half to grow up. For the time being, we can keep them together in one cage. Then we can hurry up and make a cage and replace them with a bigger one as soon as possible."

"Yeah, it's just trouble."

"Why worry about trouble? As long as we can make money, that's all! I've calculated. We can start raising them now and raise them for a year and a half. They will be ready to sell next year in time for the New Year."

"Think about it, everyone likes to have a fish for the New Year's Eve dinner, which means abundance every year. The name of the fish is good, who wouldn't like to have a fish with a nice name and good meaning for the New Year's Eve dinner? Raise more fish, and send them to the city dock two days before New Year's Eve. Are you afraid that no one will buy them?! I'm afraid that even 15,000 fish won't be enough to sell!"

"The timid ones will starve to death, and the bold ones will die of gluttony. Even if we only make one yuan per kilogram, we can still make 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. We can earn back the money we made from renting the sea area and making the cages, and maybe even more..."

Jiang Xia's voice gradually reached Zhou Li's ears.

Zhou Li was extremely surprised. Did Zhou Chenglei find a farm that sells fish fry? No wonder they dared to rent two large tracts of sea! Her brother was still foolishly following others to rent sea areas to raise fish, thinking that they really only collected fish from villagers and raised them in net cages.

But I didn’t know that they had already ordered so many fish fry back!

No wonder she saw Zhou Yongfu starting to ask people in the village to make fish cages.

Luckily she wrote down the phone number.

Zhou Li looked at the clock on the wall. It was half past five and time to get off work. She hurried to the dock to see if Zhou Bingqiang had returned.

Zhou Bingqiang and Zhou Guohua had not returned yet, so Zhou Li simply waited at the dock, looking at the sea anxiously.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei also returned to the dock.

Zhou Chenglei was waiting for his fishing boat to return.

Jiang Xia was planning to come to the dock to distribute the photos. When she saw Zhou Li also coming to the dock, she curled her lips and said: It seems the fish has taken the bait.

But if she puts the bait down, whether the fish can resist the temptation is up to the fish! Jiang Xia no longer paid attention to them, and she didn't have the time or mood to pay attention to them. When she saw the family boat coming back, she immediately pulled Zhou Chenglei over.

Zhou's father must like the job of distributing photos, so Jiang Xia got on the boat to find Zhou's father.

Father Zhou was very happy to see Wangcai come back.

Today, without Wangcai at home to protect the house, the fish we caught were not as many as usual, and we could only sell them for more than 50 yuan.

Although he had already learned about Jiang's father's condition from his eldest son, Zhou's father still asked with a smile: "Xiao Xia, is your father okay?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's okay."

Father Zhou said happily: "I knew my in-laws would be fine!"

With Wangcai looking after her, how could anything happen to her father? Plus, Alei just happened to be back, and the two couples could go there to show their affection and get along well. Maybe Jiang's father would even turn a disaster into a blessing and get promoted and make a fortune!

Accident? It's impossible in this life! Only with good luck and success can it be possible.

Jiang Xia smiled and handed Zhou's father a stack of photos she had picked out on the boat: "Dad, all the photos taken before have been developed. This is a group photo of the production team and our boat. I developed one for each household or person. You can give one to everyone per household or person! Thank you all for selling dried fish and fish to our family during this time."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up. Xiao Xia is really capable!

Send photos? It’s better than anything else!

This photo can be hung on the wall and preserved for a lifetime!

Later, when the villagers see this photo, won’t they remember that it was Zhou Yongfu who gave it to them? And they will also remember that the first camera in the village belonged to his family! The first big ship also belonged to his family!

Hahaha... it's so nice to think about it! Father Zhou quickly glanced around the dock to see if there were enough returning fishing boats. If there weren't enough people, how could the effect be good if they were sent out? No, there weren't enough people now.

He wants everyone to be the center of attention!

Moreover, Zhou Bingqiang’s ship has not returned yet, so the photos cannot be delivered.

Damn it, dare to report his in-laws? He's going to piss him off to death!

Father Zhou took the photo with a smile and said, "Okay, then Dad will sell the fish first and distribute it to everyone."

Jiang Xia didn't expose his dissatisfaction with the lack of people, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will give the photos of the family portraits to the aunts in the village who paid for them."

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, go now!"

Xiao Wangcai was very smart. She knew clearly which photos he liked to send out, so she asked him to send them. For those photos he was impatient to send out, she would take them on her own initiative.

So smart! If she is not successful and rich, it would be a shame for God to give her beauty and wisdom.

Jiang Xia walked under the big tree and said to the women in the village: "Ladies and gentlemen, the photos we took earlier have been developed. If anyone has taken photos, come and get them!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately surrounded Jiang Xia.

"Have the photos been developed? Do they look good?"

"Xiao Xia, where are the photos of my house? Let me see them first!"

"Xia Xia, I took two photos! Have my photos been developed yet?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry! I'll call out your name, and come and get it! Come one by one."

For the group photo of only women taken in the production team, Jiang Xia also made one copy for each person and gave them to the women in the village.

In fact, most people in the village are very enthusiastic. They know that their dried fish need to be sorted. Now many people sort the fish before selling them, so Grandma and He Xinghuan don't have to spend too much effort.

The ladies smiled so hard after getting an extra photo that their eyes disappeared. "Is this a gift for us? One for each of us? Oh, Xiao Xia, you are so kind! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Thank you, thank you! Xiao Xia, you are so kind! I was regretting not posting a group photo, but I didn't expect you to send us one! Thank you so much!"

"Thank you so much. There are so many of us here. You printed one for all of us. It must be a lot of money, right?"

"Of course it's more expensive. There are thirty or forty people in this group photo! Here's thirty or forty dollars!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I thought these group photos were rare, so I printed one for everyone. It didn't cost much, so of course everyone gets a share of the group photos."

Zhou Li also came over to take the photo and took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Xiao Xia, you are so generous that you are willing to spend so much money on us. Most people would not be willing to do that! Oh, this photo is so well taken! Xiao Xia is the most beautiful!"

"Xiao Xia is already beautiful, and she looks like a fairy in the photo."

…

So when Wen Wan came back, she once again saw Jiang Xia being treated like a star by the villagers.

It seems that Jiang Xia's father is fine.

That’s right, her brother hasn’t married the guy named Ye yet, so how can such a small matter have a big impact on her father?

Wen Wan didn't care. It was only a matter of time before something happened to Jiang's father.

Jiang Xia died early in her previous life and had no idea what happened to her family later on.

When Zhou Li saw Zhou Bingqiang's boat coming back, she stopped flattering Jiang Xia and ran over quickly. Unexpectedly, Zhou's father was one step faster and caught Zhou Bingqiang first.
