Chapter 362: Fish King

The boats rumbled towards the sea in the early morning, one heading for Abalone Island and the other heading for the waters of Pearl Island.

The two brothers split up and went to feed the fish.

The weather was cold a while ago and I haven’t fed the fish for several days. It’s a little warmer today, so of course I have to seize the opportunity to go down to the sea to feed them.

Li Xiuxian looked at the two ships heading in different directions and asked, "Why are they heading in different directions?"

Zhou Chengsen: "I'm going to feed the fish. You wait here. When they come, go to the purchasing office and call me."

After saying that, he went to the purchasing office to chat with someone.

Who wants to stand on the beach and eat the northwest wind so early in the morning? Li Xiuxian was furious.

Zhou Chenglei would never leave Jiang Xia alone.

At sea, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin did split up into two groups to feed the fish.

Zhou Chengsen can go to any sea area at that time, he is familiar with it.

Tian Caihua was helpless: "Can't we separate and feed it together?"

The troops were divided into two groups. How could they catch more fish by themselves than with Jiang Xia and his wife? Zhou Chengxin drove the boat to Pearl Island: "It's a waste of time."

"Why waste time?! Can't we just haul a net on the way to Abalone Island together? It would be a waste of time if we separate."

Tian Caihua suddenly felt that it was no good to have no one competing with her family for the boat! She wanted to be with Jiang Xia! If Jiang Xia ate meat, she could have some soup.

Zhou Chengxin: "Can you stop being so long-winded? Otherwise, don't go out to sea with me next time."

She never liked to get along with her fourth brother and his wife before! Now she gets up every day, makes breakfast, and runs to the old house.

Tian Caihua: "You think I want to follow you, but I want to follow Xiao Xia!"

Zhou Chengxin is such a poor guy, he is not a lucky guy at all! Who wants to follow him? If Xiaoxia was a man, she would have remarried!

Tian Caihua stretched her neck and looked at the other ship going away, wishing she could jump into the sea and swim after it.

Zhou Chengxin: “…”

*There were only a couple on the boat. Zhou Chenglei simply held Jiang Xia in his arms and continued to teach her how to drive the boat.

"Lean on me. It won't be tiring to stand like this."

"I'm not tired." But Jiang Xia still leaned on him.

She turned the boat's steering wheel with one hand, controlling the direction.

He put his arms around her, stood firmly, and let her lean on him.

The boat, facing the morning light, heads east.

Zhou Chenglei raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he kissed her face.

It felt great to be out to sea with just the two of them, without anyone to disturb them.

Jiang Xia is very talented in both boating and driving, and she has a very good sense of the boat.

She is really smart.

"Our children must be very smart."

Zhou Chenglei held her flat belly with both hands and greeted the children.

Jiang Xia: "I heard that boys inherit their intelligence from their mothers, and girls inherit their intelligence from their fathers."

Zhou Chenglei had never heard of this statement.

"It's best if we inherit our strengths and not our weaknesses."

"Oh, what are my shortcomings?"

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

"No, you don't. I'm talking about me. I'm full of flaws! It's good for the child to be like you, not like me."

Jiang Xia couldn't help but laugh, and then he saw the sun rising: "The sun is out."

Seeing her smile, Zhou Chenglei smiled too, hugged her tightly, and watched the red sun slowly rising in the sky.

Winter sunrises are also particularly gentle.

After getting a certain distance away, Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei, "Can we put the net down now?"

"Drive further away."

The world is cold, and all things are hidden.

In winter, fish become less active, eat less, and rarely go to shallow waters. Most of them prefer to hide in deep, constant-temperature layers to hibernate.

But the weather is much warmer today, so the fish catch should be good.

After driving a distance further, Zhou Chenglei went to set the net.

Next, Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia to lie on the lounge chair and bask in the sun while he drove the boat.

He has already fixed the recliner next to the driving position, and the fixed recliner will not fall over even if the waves are strong.

The waves are not big today.

Jiang Xia lay on the recliner, eating strawberries and reading high school books.

When Jiang Yang came over two days ago, he brought a snakeskin bag of fruit, a basket of strawberries and several pounds of dried strawberries.

All the strawberries from Jiang Yang’s one-acre strawberry field are directly supplied to Jiangxia.

Jiang Yang’s wife would pick the ripe strawberries every day and dry them, for fear that the strawberries would be out of season and Jiang Xia would not be able to find them if he wanted to eat them. If they were dried, they could be preserved for a longer time.

Usually, a basket of fresh ones would be sent to Jiangxia every two days.

Yang Bin and his companions also brought a lot of mountain products on this voyage, all of which were picked from the mountains or grown at home. There were also hawthorns. Some people thought that Jiang Xia would like to eat sour food, so they picked a snake skin of hawthorns.

But Jiang Xia just wanted to eat strawberries. He was addicted and would miss them if he didn't eat them for an hour.

More than an hour later, Jiang Xia had just finished reading his high school math book when Zhou Chenglei started surfing the Internet.

He repaired an abandoned net-lifting machine that he had picked up at the shipyard and installed it on this ship.

So there is no problem for one person to set up the network, otherwise, he would have hired someone long ago.

But he was alone, so he didn't take too long, and he got the net up in an hour.

Jiang Xia put the book away and went to sail.

Zhou Chenglei set up the net.

The net didn’t burst, but the fish was huge!

I actually caught a giant grouper in the net.

Zhou Chenglei finally dragged him up.

Jiang Xia was shocked when he first saw it, and thought it was a giant shark.

But after looking closely, I saw stripes. It was not a shark, but a grouper.

"Is this fish two meters long?" Jiang Xia asked.

Zhou Chenglei took a ruler and measured it: "Just a little bit, a little over 1.9 meters, probably weighing 400 kilograms."

Jiang Xia: “…”

King of fish!

The ultimate fish king!

Also caught in the net was a lobster, some sharp sand fish, dragon fish, barramundi, other miscellaneous fish and some shrimps and crabs.

Zhou Chenglei: "Let's go to the city dock to sell the fish first, and then go out to sea again."

Of course, good fish should be sold while they are fresh; the fresher, the better.

"Okay. Then call the manager of Jufulou and ask him if he wants it."

"Yeah." Zhou Chenglei washed his hands and went to drive the boat.

It was already half past ten when we arrived at the city pier.

There were many fishermen selling fish and many people buying fish all over the beach.

After Zhou Chenglei parked the boat, he hurried to make a phone call.

Jiang Xia stayed on the boat.

Some people were stunned when they saw the big fish on their boat!

"What a big fish! Is this a grouper?"

"Wow, this fish is as long as half the length of the fishing boat. It must weigh several hundred kilograms, right?"

"Is this a giant grouper? How could you catch such a big one? I've been fishing all my life and I've never caught one! Where did you catch it?"

"You're so lucky to catch such a big fish?"

…

Jiang Xia did not respond to everyone's words. If you didn't know them, there was no need to pay attention. Everyone was just watching the fun. She lowered her head and quickly divided the few fish and sold them.

At this time, a man in a jacket jumped onto the boat: "Hello, comrade! I'm the owner of Fu Man Lou. Do you want to sell this fish for 1,000 yuan?"

Jiang Xia looked up at him and stood up: "Sorry, we have already called the restaurant we are familiar with."

The manager immediately said, "One thousand two hundred! This price is very high. Other restaurants definitely can't offer such a high price."

A group of investors from Hong Kong Island came today, and the city's commerce staff arranged for lunch to be at their restaurant and dinner to be at Ju Fu Restaurant.

If we can catch this fish, we might change the dinner to their restaurant instead of Ju Fu Restaurant.

Jiang Xia glanced at his expression, shook her head, and tentatively said, "I'm sorry, my man has already called the manager of Jufu Restaurant."

Sure enough, upon hearing the word Jufu Restaurant, the other party's expression changed rapidly.
