The sea water in the mussel farm has not yet receded, and half of the wooden piles are still in the water, but it will not recede anymore. Today's tide level should be at this position.
Jiang Xia took a look at the collected mussels, which were placed in baskets on the beach. Each one was about the size and length of three fingers and looked very good.
Tian Caihua was also very happy seeing this, this was all money!
Many villagers also came to see.
They also couldn't imagine that this thing could really be kept alive, and it was not difficult to keep it. It seemed that they didn't see how Zhou Yongfu's family took care of these things, but they grew densely.
On the contrary, when they go fishing near the deep-sea cages, they will see workers feeding the fish.
Someone asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, how much do these mussels cost per pound?"
Jiang Xia: "I don't know yet. I've never sold it before, and you know the price of seafood is different every day."
“Are you selling these mussels to Hong Kong Island?”
"Um."
"It's different to have a grandfather in Hong Kong Island. This business has expanded to Hong Kong Island."
"That's right, you are just waiting to become rich!"
Jiang Xia smiled back when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
People in the village don’t know that even if his grandfather wasn’t in Hong Kong Island, Zhou Chenglei still has the connections to expand his business to Hong Kong Island.
Zhou Chenglei originally planned to sell the fish raised in the cages to Hong Kong Island.
Not only in Hong Kong Island, the couple also have connections to expand their business overseas.
The couple also met a lot of people at the Guangzhou Trade Fair.
Moreover, Jiang Xia has already submitted an application to the food factory for the Spring Spike Fair to see if she can get the qualification to participate in the exhibition. This is also one of the reasons why she spent a lot of money to shoot the advertisement.
Once you become famous, you will have more money.
Mr. Mai’s identity was completely unexpected.
The tide was about to rise, and the large mussels had been harvested. Zhou Chenglei arranged for people to bring these mussels back to shore and keep them in the live hold of the large ship tonight.
Zhou Chenglei also picked up a load of mussels himself. He said to Jiang Xia, "Xia Xia, let's go home. The tide is rising. Come back next time."
"Okay." Jiang Xia picked up the tools for fishing.
Zhou Chenglei carried a load of mussels on his shoulders, and hung two snakeskin bags of things he had picked up from the sea on his shoulder pole, and he also held a bucket in his hand.
Zhou Chengsen, Zhou Chengxin and the hired male workers also carried a load of mussels and walked towards the shore.
This time, Zhou Chenglei collected five loads of mussels, while Zhou Chengsen and Zhou Chengxin collected more than three loads.
Because Zhou Guodong and Zhou Guohua started raising the crops late, about half a month later, they only collected two loads.
But the combined weight of all of them is over a thousand pounds.
The most important thing is that these are just the first batch of mussels and it is not time to harvest them yet.
It’s hard to imagine how many pounds we can harvest! The villagers looked at them with envy: “These mussels are so rotten, the whole wood pile is covered with them so quickly!”
"Seeing them collect thousands of kilograms, it feels like they didn't collect any. There are still a lot on the wood piles. I wonder if they would collect hundreds of thousands of kilograms if they collected all of them?"
"One wooden stake is estimated to weigh more than ten kilograms. Their families have planted tens of thousands of wooden stakes in total, so it's not surprising that they weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms!"
"If I had known this earlier, I would have followed suit when A-lei went to the production team and suggested that everyone follow suit."
"If there is early knowledge, there will be no beggars."
…
The tide was rising slowly, and everyone started carrying home the things they had picked up from the sea with hoes.
Zhou Chenglei put the shellfish he picked up in the car, and then gave the car keys to Jiang Xia: "You, sister-in-law, Xiaotang and the others go back first. I will transport these mussels to the boat at the dock to raise them."
I asked the driver to drive a tractor back yesterday and drove it here today.
"Okay." Jiang Xia took the car keys.
Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen also put their things in the car. Jiang Xia called Ruan Tang, Tian Caihua, grandma and others to get in the car.
There were two aunties from the village who wanted to hitch a ride, and Jiang Xia let them get in.
After everyone got in the car, Jiang Xia drove home.
When he got back home, Jiang Xia parked the car at the door instead of driving into the yard because his great-grandmother and others needed to move some things.
Great-grandmother and two aunts from the village got out of the car to move things.
The two aunts smiled and thanked them: "Thank you, Xiaoxia, it's convenient to have a car, so you don't have to carry all these things back. Every time I go to the beach, I have to carry these things for several miles, and my shoulders hurt so much."
Jiang Xia helped take the things down and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
Zhou's mother came out and saw that everyone had a big bag. She asked with a smile: "You have a good harvest today! What did you pick up?"
One of the aunts said: "A lot! There are all kinds! There are still a lot of scallops today. Your daughters-in-law picked up the most scallops."
Tian Caihua knew that Jiang Xia was not very strong, so she helped Jiang Xia and Ruan Tang carry down a large snakeskin bag: "Xiao Xia and Xiao Tang picked up a lot, I didn't pick up much."
She was busy talking.
Zhou's mother: "Is that bag ours and Asen's?"
She took it in and dealt with it together.
Jiang Xia pointed at the two largest snakeskin bags and said, "This bag belongs to our family, and this bag was picked up by my second brother and Xiaotang."
Just as Zhou's mother was about to carry it into the house, a shrill car horn blared.
Several people in the alley looked over.
The grandmother covered her ears and angrily looked at the brand new black car at the alley entrance: "Who is it?! Why are you honking the horn? It's not a big deal to have a car!"
The triplets in the room were awakened by the shrill noise, and all three children burst into tears.
This was the first time they were frightened like this.
Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother ran in quickly.
"Hey, grandma is here, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
Ruan Tang also ran in.
The two aunts covered their ears and looked at the black bridge car at the entrance of the alley and wanted to curse, for fear that it was coming to look for Jiang Xia.
At this time Zhou Junjie stuck his head out: "Whose car is this? Drive away! I want to go home!"
Pan Daidi got out of the back seat of the car and said, "Drive away! Who is so uncivilized? How can other cars pass by if you park your car in the alley?"
Tian Caihua: "It's mine! Are you going to die in a moment? We are moving things! Besides, this road is not yours!"
Grandma: "You have no manners! If you want to pass, just honk the horn! Are you honking the horn to get reincarnated?"
The other two aunts saw that it was Pan Daidi and could not help but scold: "You are a plague! You almost made me deaf!"
"Are you sick? What's so great about driving a junky car? It scares me to death!"
"Can't you wait a moment? You guys scared the kid to tears!"
Pan Daidi glanced at the jeep with disdain, then looked at Tian Caihua with a smug look on her face: "It's nothing special! My son's car is imported! It's just more expensive than the domestically made one in front of you!"
Zhou Junjie's wife was holding a baby in the car: "Mom, why are you arguing with them? Their car is only worth tens of thousands of dollars. How could they know that Junjie's car is worth hundreds of thousands! Hurry up and drive away. If you hit our car, you can't afford the compensation!"
Pan Daidi said arrogantly, "Yes, drive away! A good dog doesn't block the road! If you don't drive away, our car will drive over and be scratched by your car. It will cost hundreds of dollars to repair a scratch. Don't say I didn't tell you! Don't feel bad when you have to pay for it!"
"You are a dog, your whole family is a dog! You are so disgusting! What's so great about having a broken car? Who scratched yours? My car was parked here just fine, and your car passed by and it was you who scratched my car! You should pay us compensation! If you don't understand, don't pretend!"
Pan Daidi really didn't understand. She felt that if someone else's car blocked her car's way and got scratched, it was the other person's fault.
So the two of them argued there. (End of this chapter)
