Chapter 473 No Need for Them
When Jiang Xia hung up the phone, Zhou Chenglei came to pick her up on a motorcycle.
Jiang Xia told him the content of the call.
Zhou Chenglei said, "Bring Xiaoyuzi home later, and I will send 100,000 to Xiaodong."
"Well, I won't go." Jiang Xia got up early today and felt a little sleepy. He yawned lazily.
When I got home, the yards of the old house and the new house were full of people processing small fish and drying fish.
The wind was strong at the beach, so they took the small fish to the beach to dry in the sun.
Jiang Xia looked at the bamboo mats used to dry fish and asked Zhou Chenglei, "Should we buy some fine wire mesh and use wood to make a rectangular drying net so that it can be easily placed in the drying room."
Bamboo drying mats are either bad or prone to mold. On a rainy day a while ago, Zhou's mother was afraid that the bamboo mats would mold, so she took them out and put them in the drying room to dry for a while.
However, the disadvantage of a drying net made of fine wire mesh and a wooden frame is that it is expensive. The wire mesh is expensive, and the wood is also expensive. However, the stainless steel wire mesh is not easy to mold after being washed, and it has more mesh holes, so it is easier to air-dry the fish.
They don't just dry the fish occasionally, they do it all year round. They invest some money to buy some stainless steel wire mesh to make drying mats, which can be used for a long time.
Zhou Chenglei took a look at the bamboo mats and thought of the benefits of wire mesh. "Okay, I'll buy some when I go to remit money later."
Jiang Xia: "We also bought some fine-meshed fishing nets to make drying nets. Drying nets made of wire mesh can be placed in the drying room, and the fishing nets can be placed outside to dry. It's too expensive to make them all out of wire mesh."
"Well, replace them slowly. Make a batch first to see if they work. If you put fish on a drying net made of fishing net, they may all gather in the middle. I'll buy some and give it a try."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay."
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Chenglei drove his tractor to transport the remaining small fish from the dock, and then went to the Postal Savings Bank to remit the money.
Jiang Xia helped to dry the fish.
In the evening, Zhou Chengsen and Zhou Ying came back.
Mother Zhou saw the father and daughter, looked behind them, and asked, "Xiuxian didn't come back?"
"No, she has to prepare for class." Zhou Chengsen made up an excuse.
The couple was still in a cold war. He was too lazy to face Li Xiuxian at home and felt that he would be more comfortable living alone in the old house, so he brought his daughter back.
The daughter knew he was coming back and said she wanted to go back with him.
Zhou's mother was preparing to cook, so she said, "Then you guys can eat here! Don't cook by yourself."
"Okay, I'll go to the dock and check." Zhou Chengsen put his daughter down and rode his bicycle to the dock to see if his ship had returned.
Zhou Chenglei was drying the nets in the yard and called him, "Brother, it's time to light the squid. Do you want to go out to sea with me tonight? We'll go out at 7 o'clock and be back at 12 o'clock at night. It won't affect your work the next day."
Zhou Chengsen heard it and said, "Okay."
Zhou Chengsen went to the dock, and the two brothers of the Li family just docked their boat.
Zhou Chengsen walked onto his own boat and looked at the baskets of fish on the boat, most of which were small squid.
This basket of squid should weigh about 30 to 40 kilograms, which can be sold for about 30 to 40 yuan. If you add other fish, it can probably be sold for 60 to 70 yuan. He said, "Today's harvest is not bad."
Li Qingmin and Li Qingjie looked at each other and smiled, "Yes!"
The two brothers were too embarrassed to say that the basket of small squids were taken by them when they went out to sea in advance.
Zhou Chengsen simply took a bucket and filled it with two kilograms of small squid, and picked up eight or ten white croakers to take home and eat.
Then he carried the basket of squid off the boat and headed for the purchasing office.
The two brothers of the Li family were heartbroken!
That was the squid they photographed all night.
Li Qingmin couldn't help but complain to Li Qingjie in a low voice: "I told you to go to the city dock to sell the squid first, but you didn't believe me!"
Li Qingjie: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to come back so suddenly!"
Li Qingmin: "I didn't make any money today."
Li Qingjie was also distressed and said, "We miscalculated this time. Fortunately, the peak season for small squid has just arrived. We can still catch more small squid in the next two months. Learning from this lesson, we will sell the small squid we catch at the city dock starting tomorrow before pulling the nets."
The basket of squid could not be saved. Li Qingmin nodded and said, "Hurry up and move the fish down to sell them. Go home early to eat and sleep. We will go out to sea early tonight to make up for the loss this time!"
Li Qingjie nodded: "Okay!"
So the two brothers quickly moved the fish from the boat and took them to the purchasing place.
At the purchasing office, Zhou Chengsen was queuing up, waiting until the two Li brothers had picked up all the fish.
Zhou Chengsen asked, "Brother, how much is the gas fee today?"
Li Qingmin immediately said with a smile: "Twenty yuan, today we went to a farther place to take pictures of the squid."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Chengsen said nothing, took out 40 yuan and gave them: "You have worked hard all day, go back and rest early! I will do the selling."
Li Qingmin happily took it and said with a smile: "It's not hard! Then we will go back first."
Zhou Chengsen nodded, and then seemed to think of something: "By the way, you don't have to go out to sea so early tomorrow morning. I will hire someone to go out to sea to photograph squid starting tonight. The boat will not be back until around seven tomorrow morning, so you guys just need to go out to sea at eight tomorrow morning."
The two brothers of the Li family: "..."
Li Qingjie: "Brother-in-law, are you planning to take pictures of the squid at night? We can do that too, no need to hire someone else!"
Li Qingmin also nodded: "Yes! We can change it to go out to sea at night! No need to hire anyone else, or let the people you hired go out to sea during the day."
These small squids are valuable. The flood season has just begun. When the flood season reaches its peak, it is possible to harvest one or two hundred kilograms in one night.
If he hired someone else, wouldn't that be a bargain for the other person? He was also thinking of taking advantage of the current squid season to make a fortune, and maybe he would have enough money to book a boat.
Zhou Chengsen: "No need, I will come back at night and go out to sea with you. I just need to ask a roommate to go out to sea with me. Brother, you guys should continue to go out to sea during the day!"
The two brothers felt like they had lost their parents!
It feels like I just passed by a hundred million!
Zhou Chengsen glanced at their expressions and said nothing.
At this time, it was his turn to sell fish, and he moved the basket of small squids up to be weighed.
Thirty-eight pounds and six ounces.
Grandpa Jin said, "I bought A-lei's squid this morning. I paid 1.2 yuan for it. But his squid is fresher. Yours is not as fresh as his, so I paid 1 yuan for it."
Zhou Chengsen nodded: "Okay!"
Li Qingmin and Li Qingjie's hearts were bleeding.
These thirty-eight dollars are theirs! There are still a few loads of fish left to sell, which are also worth a lot of money.
The two of them couldn't bear to watch any longer and left in frustration! Here they come!
