Chapter 233: Calm sea and no fish?

The sea is calm today, and the surface is as calm as a blue mirror.

The boat rumbled forward, breaking the calmness of the sea.

White waves bloom at the stern, continuing to move forward.

Jiang Xia and his crew had just set out when a boat returned from an evening fishing trip.

The people on the fishing boat saw them preparing to go out to sea and said, "There is no wind or waves on the sea today. I have only caught a few dozen kilograms of fish since last night, and I can't even sell them for ten dollars. I have lost all my money on fuel. I advise you not to go out to sea!"

This is one of the biggest frustrations of going out to sea to fish. When the wind and waves are strong, there are more fish, but it is dangerous; when the wind and waves are low, it is safe, but there are not many fish to catch.

Just like the charcoal seller, who is worried about the low price of charcoal and hopes for cold weather! The fishermen hope for a little wind and waves so that they can catch more fish, but the wind and waves should not be so strong that they can kill people and prevent them from going out to sea.

Zhou Chengxin glanced at the fish on the other side's deck and said sympathetically, "There are indeed fewer fish when the weather is calm. It seems that there will be no harvest today, but we still have to feed the fish, we can't not go!"

When the man heard that, he said nothing. So why raise fish?

Still need to feed? What a waste of time! Then we met a few more ships and said similar things.

Zhou Chengxin also responded with something similar.

Jiang Xia saw that the other party’s boat indeed had few fish.

Zhou Chengxin was driving the boat. As he was driving, he said, "It looks like we won't be able to catch any fish today."

It's too calm.

Big waves are dangerous, but no waves means few fish.

Zhou Chenglei ignored him and sailed away for a distance. After he put the net down, he asked Jiang Xia, "Do you want to fish?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay!"

She had originally planned to look at the information, but she could do so while fishing.

Zhou Chengxin immediately shouted, "Fishing! You drive the boat, and I'll fish!"

He loves fishing with Jiang Xia the most!

Zhou Chenglei glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, I'm not asking you, I'm asking my wife."

The tone was respectful, but the words were provocative! Zhou Chengxin: “…”

No, how did he become a boat driver?

He made up his mind last night not to sail today!

I was fooled! When I got on the boat just now, no wonder Zhou Chenglei was touching things here and there, packing things on the boat, pretending to be busy! It turned out that he was waiting for him here!

This brat deliberately didn't drive the boat!

Then, Zhou Chengxin experienced what his father experienced at the beginning.

Zhou Chenglei simply treated him as a kerosene lamp.

Zhou Chenglei hooked the bait, and Jiang Xia cast the rod and released the bait.

She didn't want to waste time, so after casting the fishing rod, she handed it to Zhou Chenglei and asked him to wait for the fish to bite.

She took out a stack of basic information about various ships in the shipyard and started to read it.

The Guangzhou Trade Fair is coming soon, and she has already read these materials once.

But she was used to reading all the information three times before going to the battlefield.

Because she can remember 90% of the general information after reading it three times.

She had already read through all the product information of several factories that she had brought back before, and now she was going to read it again. She would read it again two days before the Guangzhou Trade Fair, and then she would be fully prepared.

Although the morning sunlight is gentle, reading in the sunlight will still hurt your eyes a bit.

Also, because the sunlight was shining obliquely, half of Jiang Xia's face was still exposed to the sun even though he was wearing a hat.

It was not enough for Zhou Chenglei to block the sun by her side, so he held up a straw hat to help her block the sunlight from her face and accompanied her to look at the information.

Zhou Chengxin: “…”

There was clearly no intimate behavior between the two of them. After all, Zhou Chenglei was holding his hat in one hand and the fishing rod in the other.

But Zhou Chengxin felt that the two of them were particularly close and loving, so he was embarrassed to look at them for fear of disturbing them.

Jiang Xia reads very quickly, and this is his second time reading, so he reads even faster.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Xia finished reading the information of the three types of boats. At this time, Zhou Chenglei's fishing rod also had a fish hooked.

There are slots on the edge of the boat where you can put your fishing rod, but it doesn’t feel as good as holding it in your hands.

Zhou Chenglei reminded: "A fish has taken the bait."

Zhou Chenglei began to reel in the line carefully.

Jiang Xia quickly put the information away, then picked up the hand-copied net to help.

As the fishing line became shorter and shorter and closer, Jiang Xia saw a large fish with a hint of red in the black color swimming in circles in the sea.

Jiang Xia's eyes widened: "Is this a moon fish?"

Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia, not expecting her to know: "Yeah."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The moonfish is not a fish native to our waters, so it is difficult to encounter it in our waters.

But the sea is connected, so it is not surprising to encounter one or two by chance.

This moon fish was probably blown here by a typhoon, or was chased by its prey, and lost its way home, so it swam all the way here.

Jiang Xia knew this because moonfish is very famous in the island country and is delicious when used as sashimi. She happened to have eaten it once in her previous life.

Zhou Chengxin had never heard of it before, and asked curiously: "What kind of fish is the moon fish?"

The fish was very big, and Zhou Chenglei was afraid that the fishing rod would break, so he held the fishing line with his hands and pulled the fish up and down to make it lose strength.

Zhou Chenglei replied: "Big fish."

Zhou Chengxin: “…”

Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia worked together to catch the fish using a large net bag.

It was indeed a big fish! It weighed about 40 kilograms! Zhou Chengxin asked with a smile: "Is this fish expensive?"

Zhou Chenglei: "Expensive! Fish from the open sea."

Zhou Chengxin's eyes lit up. Is there no fish in calm waters? But they caught a big fish from the open sea! As his father said, every fish Xiao Xia caught was different! "Alei, you drive the boat, let me fish."

Zhou Chenglei is selectively deaf again.

He took the fish off the hook, put bait on it, and then gave the fishing rod to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia didn't care about the two brothers. She took the fishing rod, threw the bait out, then returned the fishing rod to Zhou Chenglei and continued to read the information.

There was a fishing boat working nearby. It was a villager. When he saw their fishing boat catch a fish, he pulled the boat closer. He couldn't help but complain, "Ah Xin, A Lei, your fishing nets are full again? I came out at around four o'clock and dragged two nets, but it was all in vain! There were only a dozen pounds of fish in total! Damn, the fishing nets are heavier than the fish!"

Zhou Chengxin said modestly: "Uncle Dong, we haven't raised the net yet! We were out for half a day before we caught a fish. There really aren't many fish today!"

Zhou Chengxin felt sorry for him. Uncle Dong's shipping was notoriously bad! It was even worse than his shipping!

Others can earn thirty or forty yuan a day when they go overseas, but he can only earn a dozen or a few yuan.

Uncle Dong took a look at their boat and found that there was indeed no fish. The moonfish had been put into the live hold by Zhou Chenglei, and the entire deck was empty.

He sighed, "It seems that there are really no fish today. I'll pull the net again and then I'll go back!"

Zhou Chenglei was famous for his good sea transportation, but he didn't catch any fish. His sea transportation was the worst in the village, so he had to go back home to avoid losing all the gas money! As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chenglei had a fish hooked.

The hook is taken quickly.

Zhou Chenglei held the fishing rod, pulled the fishing line with his hands, and started a new round of battle of wits and courage with the fish.

Jiang Xia quickly put the information away and grabbed the hand-copied net, ready for battle.

It looked like a big fish! Zhou Chengxin was so nervous: "Alei, what fish?"

Uncle Dong took a look and said, "Damn! He can even catch this!"
