Chapter 215 A Pair of Turtles

This net should have encountered schools of two or three kinds of fish. It was a bit mixed, but each species seemed to be in large quantities.

There are many yellowtails, mackerel, golden pomfret, and tiger prawns.

Each of these shrimps is as long as Jiang Xia’s arm and is very big.

One shrimp weighs almost one pound.

Father Zhou picked up one and compared it with his palm. He was overjoyed and said, "I've made a fortune again! Today we have a full warehouse of fish and shrimps. We even encountered such big nine-segment shrimps. I have been fishing at sea for many years and I have caught such big shrimps before, but I have never caught so many of them!"

This kind of shrimp is expensive to begin with. For such a big size, the price can be sold for more than two or three yuan per pound!

A shrimp weighs about 70 to 80 taels. Do you think it is big?

So it doesn’t matter whether you go out to sea early or late. As long as you are lucky enough, you will earn more than others even if you go out to sea later. You can’t miss the thousand dollars today.

Father Zhou said with a smile: "Quickly divide the shrimps and put them in the live tank."

This type of shrimp has strong air resistance, which means it can be kept for a longer time and is easy to transport.

Although they were trawling, many of the shrimps were still alive and had not been crushed to death. Except for Zhou Chengxin who was driving the boat, the family members hurried to pick out the shrimps and put them in the live tank for breeding.

Of course, living things are more expensive than dead ones.

The boat quickly arrived at the Coral Island and Zhou Chengxin parked the boat.

Zhou Chenglei didn't even bother to sort the fish. He put on his diving equipment and went down to check the condition of the cages.

The fish cages on the coral island were also fine. Zhou Chenglei swam to the cave and took a look. Seeing some abalone running out, he pried them down and threw them in.

These abalones are not big, about ten in total. Let them continue to grow and sell them when they are big enough.

Sea cucumbers had been picked up in this area of ​​sea before. After eating all the ones he had picked up, Zhou Chenglei searched around the seabed to see if he could catch some more.

It took only a while to find three sea cucumbers.

There weren't many sea cucumbers, but I did catch two nine-tooth fan shrimps and picked up a few sea urchins.

The meat of this kind of shrimp is sweet and delicious, and Jiang Xia loves to eat it.

Zhou Zhou loves steamed eggs with sea urchin, so tonight's dinner can be a little richer.

Because he still had to go to the shipyard, Zhou Chenglei quickly returned to the ship.

Jiang Xia did not go into the sea. She wanted to hurry to sort the fish. She also liked the fish that had many kinds of fish, shrimps and crabs mixed together, as it was easy to get unexpected surprises.

As soon as Zhou Chenglei climbed up, Jiang Xia discovered a big sea turtle. This was the first time Jiang Xia encountered a sea turtle.

Zhou Chenglei took a look.

This turtle must be very old. Its back is covered with barnacles and its shell feels weathered and looks like it is hundreds of years old.

When Zhou's father saw that he had caught a turtle by mistake, and it was an old turtle, he said, "Xiao Xia, this turtle must be put back into the sea."

People in their village will release the turtles they catch because they believe that turtles are spiritual and releasing them can ensure safety, especially old turtles.

Jiang Xia nodded: "I know, I'll remove the barnacles on its back and put it back into the sea."

Zhou's father gave Jiang Xia a knife for killing fish.

Zhou Chenglei took off his diving equipment and walked over to Jiang Xia: "I'll do it."

This thing is difficult to pry open, and he was afraid that she would accidentally hurt her hand.

Jiang Xia gave him the knife.

After Zhou Chenglei scraped off all the barnacles on the turtle, Jiang Xia used loofah to clean the turtle's shell until it was shiny, gave it a bath, and then threw it back into the sea.

The turtle waved its four paws in the water, turned around and looked up.

Jiang Xia waved to it when he saw it, "Goodbye!"

When Zhou Chengxin saw Zhou Chenglei return to the boat, he sailed away.

The boat went away and Jiang Xia no longer paid attention to it because there was still a boat full of fish waiting to be divided.

She quickly sat down and divided the fish.

No one would have thought that the turtle in the sea had been swimming behind the fishing boat. As the boat was getting farther and farther away, it swam faster and faster.

Jiang Xia divided the fish for a while and found an old sea turtle! Father Zhou: "Why did you catch so many old sea turtles today?"

Jiang Xia: "Could this turtle be a pair with the turtle just now?"

Zhou Chengxin laughed and said, "Who knows, throw it back into the sea quickly and let the couple reunite."

After hearing this, Zhou's father said, "Stop the boat, turn back, clean the turtle and throw it back into the sea."

Jiang Xia handed the turtle to Zhou Chenglei and asked him to scrape off the barnacles on the turtle.

Zhou Chenglei did as he was told and even gave it a bath like Jiang Xia had just done, wiping the turtle's upper and lower shells until they were shiny.

Jiang Xia kept looking at the sea, trying to see if the turtle would chase him.

I didn’t expect to actually see it!

"Zhou Chenglei, the sea turtle just caught up with us!" Jiang Xia's voice sounded a little excited.

After hearing this, Zhou's father and mother both looked towards the sea.

Zhou Chenglei had just finished bathing the turtle, so he stood up holding the turtle.

Jiang Xia pulled his arm and said, "Put it back into the sea quickly."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zhou Chenglei threw the turtle back into the sea, and then habitually held Jiang Xia's hand.

Two turtles in the sea swam towards each other.

Father Zhou saw them and said with a smile: "They are really a perfect couple."

After the pair of turtles met at sea, they both looked up at the fishing boat.

Jiang Xia saw it and smiled: "Is there still a son of theirs on the boat?"

After hearing this, Zhou's mother quickly looked through the remaining fish and said with a smile, "No more! No more!"

The pair of turtles just stopped on the sea surface for a moment, looked at them, and then swam to the bottom of the sea.

Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia's hand and watched the pair of turtles gradually disappear into the seabed. He couldn't help but look down at the person next to him.

Jiang Xia happened to look up at him, and their eyes met and they smiled at each other.

Jiang Xia put her fingers through his fingers, clasped theirs tightly, and looked at the sea with a smile.

Jiang Xia's smile was so charming and gentle that Zhou Chenglei wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her hard, but he held back and just held her hand tightly to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

When Father Zhou saw the turtle swimming away, he withdrew his gaze. But when he looked back, he saw his youngest son and Wangcai quietly holding hands.

Oh, I accidentally became a tablet again! Zhou Paiwei smiled, pretending not to see it, and pushed the 50-watt light bulb to the eldest son and said, "You go to drive the boat, hurry to the shipyard to order a boat."

"Okay." Zhou Chengxin went to drive the boat.

Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Chenglei and pulled his hand back: "Divide the fish."

"Yeah." Zhou Chenglei let go of her hand, and the couple squatted down to continue dividing the fish.

Zhou Chengxin drove the boat directly to the beach near the shipyard and docked it.

Then Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei accompanied Zhou Chengxin to book a boat.

After they got off the boat, Zhou's father and mother drove to the city dock to sell fish.

It would be faster if we acted separately this way.

Father Zhou can just come back to pick them up after selling the fish.

Shipyard

Director Zhou was shocked when he heard that they were here to order another ship.

He said angrily, "You haven't paid the deposits for the two boats yet! You are not allowed to place any more orders before you pay them!"

You want to get something for nothing again? Don’t even think about it!

This time he firmly refused! He would never waver!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Isn't the deadline yet? We just need to pay it in full on time."

Zhou Chenglei: "Has the anchor been improved? Is it useful? I have an idea for a new type of anchor."

Director Zhou: “…”
