The scallops Jiang Xia usually picked up from the sea were not big, and she thought that the wild scallops in their sea area were of this size. After all, there is more than one kind of scallops.
"It is estimated that these scallops have been growing on the seabed for a long time without anyone noticing them."
Tian Caihua was almost overjoyed: "It must be, we got a great bargain today."
It’s true that you can get rich by following the fourth brother and his wife!
The underwater pressure was high, so Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin made five trips back and forth and picked up two baskets of scallops in total.
Zhou Chengxin was a little tired, so the two brothers returned to the boat to rest, and Zhou Guodong and Zhou Yongguo took over to dive.
Don’t bully the mountains and don’t bully the water. You are not a fish, so don’t try to be brave in the water.
When Zhou Chenglei's mouth was free, Zhou's father couldn't wait to ask: "Are there still many scallops on the seabed?"
Zhou Chenglei: "A lot, I see them everywhere."
Zhou Chengxin: "Almost all of the seabed is covered with them, some big and some small. Time is limited, so we only pick up the big ones. I don't think we can pick them all up this morning."
Father Zhou stopped fishing and said, "I'll go down with you guys to pick them up later."
There is strength in numbers, we can pick up as much as we can.
Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei: "I will follow you into the sea later."
It was already past ten o'clock, the sun was shining, and Jiang Xia was not cold even though he was wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt.
Without cold air, the winter in the small fishing village would not be too cold. When the sun is strong at noon, many people even wear short sleeves.
When there is cold air, the temperature in coastal cities will be much warmer than inland cities. It’s just that the wind is strong on the sea and by the sea, so you will feel cold when going out to sea.
There is not much wind today.
Zhou Chenglei wanted to refuse, but Jiang Xia wanted to do something, and she wouldn't refuse him, so he had to say, "If you feel too cold after entering the water, don't force yourself."
"I know, this is no joke." She was wearing a dry diving suit, which was waterproof and wouldn't be too cold.
Tian Caihua also wanted to go into the sea to pick up scallops, but there was no diving suit that suited her figure.
"I must lose weight after the Chinese New Year!"
Zhou Chengxin: "That's it! No need to lose weight. Losing weight is bad for your health."
She says this every month. Last month she said she would start to lose weight this month, then she dieted for one day and ate more the next day.
Zhou Chengxin is also afraid of her!
The more you lose weight, the fatter you get!
So forget it.
Tian Caihua: "No, I must lose weight this time! Xiaoxia, do you have any way to lose weight?"
Jiang Xia put on his diving suit and came out: "No, I haven't lost weight."
With so much farm work to do at home, Tian Caihua has plenty of exercise, and Jiang Xia doesn't know how she should lose weight.
Jiang Xia has never lost weight in his two lifetimes.
"I really envy you. I must lose weight and return to the way I was before giving birth." Tian Caihua touched her waist, which was thicker than a pig's, and was also very troubled.
Zhou Chengxin tried to struggle: "Everyone's body is different. Being a little fat is a blessing. You really don't have to deliberately lose weight. Look, since you gained a little weight, haven't your family's life been getting better and better? It's pretty good now. Just don't get fatter. Maybe if you don't lose weight, you will lose weight instead."
Tian Caihua felt that it made sense.
Zhou Guodong and Zhou Yongguo swam up at this time.
The two brothers hurried to pick up the net bag, which was also full.
Zhou Chenglei took two more baskets to help them pack the scallops. These scallops were all theirs.
Next, the two of them carried up a bag of scallops in less than ten minutes. They also couldn't take it anymore after going back and forth five times.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin pulled them onto the boat.
Then Jiang Xia, Zhou's father and the two brothers Zhou Chenglei started to go into the water.
Jiang Xia first adapted to the water surface. It wasn't too cold and was bearable, so she dived down.
Zhou Chenglei followed.
Zhou Chengxin and his father dived faster.
Zhou Chenglei took care of Jiang Xia, and the two of them were right behind them.
When he arrived at the bottom of the sea, Jiang Xia found that there were really a lot of scallops, scattered on the seabed and covered with a layer of sand.
The seabed here is gray.
Father Zhou and Zhou Chengxin both held iron hooks, aimed them at the net bag, hooked up the large scallops, and let them fall into the net bag.
Some scallops also have byssus threads, and some are tightly attached, so you can pick them up with your hands.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei swam to another place a few meters away from them and began to pick up scallops. Jiang Xia had picked up a few when he saw a few shrimp antennae exposed under a rock.
Look at the antennae, they are so long and thick, it must be a lobster.
Jiang Xia touched Zhou Chenglei and motioned him to look.
Zhou Chenglei looked in the direction Jiang Xia pointed, pointed in the direction of Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin, and then swam over.
As the two were picking up scallops, Zhou's father noticed Zhou Chenglei swimming over. He hurriedly pushed his eldest son and then swam over quickly.
Wangcai must have discovered a treasure more valuable than scallops and called them over.
Zhou Chenglei pointed at the stone and gestured for them to follow.
Father Zhou was excited!
He just knew it!
I wonder what treasure Wangcai found this time? Jiang Xia didn't wait there, and continued to pick up scallops. The underwater vision was not as good as on land, so Zhou's father couldn't see anything.
Wait until the father and his two sons come to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xiacai pointed to the shrimp whiskers under the stone.
Father Zhou almost cried out when he saw the shrimp whiskers! Zhou Chenglei patted Zhou Chengxin and motioned him to move the stones with him.
When Zhou's father saw it, he waved his hand and pointed upwards!
When Zhou's father saw that they understood what he meant, he hurried upstream.
Jiang Xia and his friends continued to pick up scallops on the seabed.
Jiang Xia also picked up a large conch, several sea cucumbers, and caught a large blue crab in the cracks of the rocks.
The blue crab has barnacles on its back.
There is abundance at the bottom of the sea.
Father Zhou quickly took a net and dived down.
Jiang Xia and Zhou's father each held one end of the fishing net and waited.
Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chenglei moved the flat boulder together.
Once the stones were moved away, countless large lobsters emerged.
The lobsters hiding densely under the boulders hadn't reacted yet when their umbrellas were taken away.
Jiang Xia and Zhou's father quickly covered them with a fishing net! A few lobsters were more alert and escaped.
However, it was caught in a net bag by Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin in time.
After the two men caught those big lobsters, they hurried forward to help collect the net.
After putting a dozen or twenty lobsters into the net, the four of them hurriedly swam upstream.
On the boat, Tian Caihua was getting impatient.
Just now, Zhou's father came up to get the fishing net and said that he found a lobster nest.
She had been looking forward to it.
Wait until the four people surface.
Zhou Chenglei and his father handed over the big bag of lobsters, and Tian Caihua's eyes widened.
"so much?"
When Zhou's father said there was a litter, she thought of many things, but could only think of four or five.
After all, four or five are already a lot!
This big bag was beyond her imagination! Jiang Xia had to go to the sea! They hadn't found any lobsters for a long time, but Jiang Xia found them as soon as he went down.
Zhou Chenglei carried Jiang Xia onto the boat, and several others followed.
Let’s take a look at the lobsters first and not go down to collect the scallops for now.
After untying the fishing net, Tian Caihua couldn't wait to start counting: "One, two, ... twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three! Twenty-four! Twenty-five! Twenty..."
Tian Caihua screamed louder and louder. (End of this chapter)
