Chapter 709 Smooth Sailing
Zhou Wenzu, Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying also wanted to play when they saw it. Jiang Xia smiled and said, "If you want to play, you can climb up and slide down by yourselves. It will be more fun if you climb higher and slide down."
When the children heard this, they climbed up and then slid down.
The deep, tall, large and wide cargo hold was filled with the laughter of a group of children.
Father Jiang and Father Zhou were tired, but as soon as they stopped, the younger brother rushed over desperately.
Father Jiang had no choice but to continue.
Fortunately, after playing for a while, Director Zhou came over and reminded them that the boat could be launched and those who did not want to stay on the boat could get off.
After the ship was launched, the people at the shipyard began sea trials and tests, and only officially signed for it after the sea trials were completed.
This trial voyage will take a long time, maybe one or two months or even three or four months, so there is no need for the whole family to go along.
So the whole family got off the boat.
After everyone got off the boat, Zhou's father signaled them to cover the children's ears because he was going to set off firecrackers.
Ruan Tang, Tian Caihua, and Jiang's mother all helped cover the triplets' ears.
The three children had their ears covered. They turned their heads curiously to look at the people covering their ears, then said "Ha" and grinned at Ruan Tang and the other two.
They thought the other party was playing hide-and-seek with them and was covering the wrong place.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei often played hide-and-seek with them by holding their handkerchiefs or pulling down their hats.
Especially in the car or on the plane, they don’t have as much time to sleep now, so avoid long journeys as they will feel stuffy and cry.
The sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance, and amid the "crackling" sound of firecrackers, the big ship slowly slid into the water.
All the shipyard employees came out to watch.
There were densely packed heads on both sides.
The children were attracted by the sound of firecrackers and looked over, their eyes wide open, observing with curiosity.
My sister pointed at the big boat and said “Eeyee-yay”, then lunged forward. She wanted to go on board and play.
Zhou Chenglei hugged her tightly.
As the child grows older, he moves more and more, and it becomes harder and harder to hold him.
The big ship entered the water, splashing huge waves.
The boat shook violently several times.
It's stable! All the people shouted in unison: "The new ship is launched, and it's smooth sailing! Once the engine starts, it will bring you a fortune!"
"Good!" Father Zhou responded loudly: "Everything goes smoothly and safely!"
Then Zhou's father started setting off firecrackers again.
The boatmen on the boat also helped to set off firecrackers.
After the big ship was safely launched into the water, Jiang Xia said to everyone, "Let's go back!"
Father Jiang said to Father Zhou, "Today is a good day, let's go to the city to have a meal and celebrate."
Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "No need. Let's go back to the village. I have already asked someone to prepare a few tables at home. Let's have a good drink together today."
I must have a good drink with Father Jiang to thank him for marrying such a good daughter to me! Father Zhou had already arranged such a happy day today.
Jiang Xia also persuaded Jiang's father and mother to go to the village for dinner.
So the family went home happily.
When we got back to the village, it was already five o'clock. The pier of the small fishing village was still bustling with people.
The people waiting for the boat to return to the dock gathered together to discuss Jiangxia's factory, praising it as bigger than the imperial palace! Even though they had never been to Beijing and seen the imperial palace.
It was cooking time, but Li Xiuxian didn't want to cook, so she went out for a walk on the pier with her big belly.
Then I heard everyone praising Jiangxia’s food factory.
"That factory is really big, more than ten acres, and there are still dozens of acres that have not been built."
"Zhou Chenglei is really rich! I don't know how he made it."
"How come there is no money? His factory even has elevators! The highest floors in the city only have motors, but their factory has them! That thing is so expensive! I heard that it costs more than two hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, which is more expensive than a truck."
"The machines in the factory are also very expensive, I think they cost tens of thousands of yuan each. There are several workshops, and each workshop has several large machines."
"There are also potato chips and French fry production lines. I work on that production line. I heard that a production line costs tens of thousands. I don't even know what it is for. I'm worried that I won't be able to do it well. But when I start working tomorrow, someone will teach me! I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn it, and if I break the machine, I'll have to pay for it. Even if I sell it, I won't have enough money."
“Isn’t it much easier to produce with machines?”
"Yes, it is a little easier, but there are a lot of rules and I'm afraid I can't remember them all."
"What rules?"
"There are many things to pay attention to when operating the machine. The factory is very clean. Before going to work, you have to change your shoes, clothes, hat, mask and gloves when entering the workshop. Each person is given four sets of clothes, shoes, hats and masks! They have to be washed every day."
…
Li Xiuxian pursed her lips, not wanting to listen at all, it was none of her business! Liao Ruirui also made a lot of money, much more than Zhou Chengsen! Liao Ruixiang was already preparing to buy a truck to transport the pigs to a farther place to sell.
She turned and walked away, away from these people, but their voices still reached her ears: "I didn't expect that I could make so much money and build such a big factory just by cooking and selling some dried fish at home!"
"You mean cooking some? Don't you see that the marquis brings a large cart of kelp every day and takes away a large cart? And Zhou Yongfu buys a lot of dried fish every time he comes back from the sea. He buys 10,000 catties at a time! If you make 10 cents per catty, you're making a lot!"
"That's true. People who have studied are smart and know how to make money. We deal with dried fish and kelp every day and we don't even think of that."
"I can't do it even if I want to. Is the food you cook as delicious as others'?"
Li Xiuxian gradually walked away and finally heard these words.
Others don’t know how to cook those small fish to make them delicious, but Li Xiuxian knows a little bit.
After all, when she and Zhou Chengsen returned to the village from the town before, they both lived in the old house, and they could always see some when going in and out.
Li Xiuxian walked away, but those people continued.
"Even if others' food tastes better, will anyone come to buy it? How much can you sell at the market by yourself?"
"Besides, you don't have that many small fish and kelp to do it!"
"Didn't Zhou Bingqiang's family do the same thing? Didn't it end in nothing?"
“That’s right.”
…
Li Xiuxian is thinking about the possibility of making dried fish.
There was no way she could do it herself, and she was due to give birth next month, so she couldn't do it.
Tell Liao Ruixiang to let his mother, sister and younger sister do it, so that they don’t have to keep an eye on her every day and say that she is lazy and gluttonous.
She's pregnant! What else do they want her to do? To serve the whole family with a big belly?
When she was pregnant with Yingying, she didn't have to do anything.
Now he wants her to work openly or secretly, dreaming! But Li Xiuxian is not stupid, she knows that the Liao family is different from the Zhou family.
Now the Liao family tolerates her because Liao Ruixiang has been hoping for a child for many years. After she gives birth to the child, if it is a boy, it will be fine. If it is a girl, they will probably torture her even more severely.
So she had to think of a way to control Liao's mother and several sisters-in-law and make them worship her like a god.
The most important thing is that she wants to live better than the Zhou family! She wants to be richer than Jiang Xia! Liao Ruixiang also has dealers who come to buy pigs from him because he has connections.
Li Xiuxian was walking on the beach while recalling how to make dried fish.
At this time, cars and tractor trucks were heard behind us.
The only people in the village who have these two means of transportation are from the Zhou family.
She looked back.
Here we go~ (End of this chapter)
