Chapter 104 Fish King
Jiang Xia translated, Zhou Chenglei went fishing.
Zhou Chenglei found that Zhou Bingqiang's fishing boat seemed to be following them, but he didn't care.
Zhou's mother hadn't been out to sea for many years, so she looked around. No one spoke for fear of disturbing Jiang Xia.
After the boat sailed away for some distance, Zhou Chenglei went to set the net and found that Zhou Bingqiang's fishing boat was still following.
He glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.
Father Zhou also noticed that there was a boat following them: "Whose boat is that?"
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly.
Zhou Chenglei had very strong night vision, so he said, "The new boat of Uncle Qiang's family."
Father Zhou frowned: "What does he want to do? Maybe he saw that we have made a lot of money these days and followed us on purpose?"
Zhou's mother: "It must be! How shameless!"
If Zhou's mother hadn't been afraid of disturbing Jiang Xia the translator, she would have started cursing!
But you can't bother Jiang Xia Translator. A book costs only 50 yuan. You can save 500 yuan by chatting with a foreigner for a few minutes.
So awesome.
After hearing this, Jiang Xia also stood up and took a look.
Zhou Chenglei said calmly: "Don't worry about them."
The sea is public property, and others can go wherever they want.
Mother Zhou: "But don't we have to go to the island today to see if there are any pearl shells? Should we go to the island or not? What if they find us? I'm going out to sea to pry oysters from the island."
Jiang Xia thought of the plot in the book and said, "They should know that we found a pearl shell."
Zhou's mother was a little bit unbelievable: "How is it possible? How did they know?"
Jiang Xia: "Mom, where did you throw those shells? Did you encounter them when you threw them?"
Mother Zhou threw the shells back into the sea!
Then she thought of the Wen Wan figure she saw when she was lost, "Bah! That sick chicken! She must have seen it!! What should we do? Are we still going to that island?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Brother, didn't you go there yesterday? You didn't find any pearl shells. It doesn't matter if you go there. We have to cook noodles for lunch."
Zhou's mother also went out to sea today, and did not prepare lunch. They had already agreed to cook some noodles on the island for lunch. Jiang Xia also said that they would cook oyster noodles at that time.
Moreover, Zhou Chenglei also told Zhou Chengxin that day to try his luck on the island. But last night he heard from his mother that he didn't find anything.
Feeling aggrieved, Zhou's mother couldn't help but curse: "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
Zhou Chenglei: "Mom, don't worry about it. You can't do anything about it."
Jiang Xia felt that Zhou Chenglei was right.
Although the other party is shameless, the sea is not theirs, and there is nothing they can do if others want to follow them.
And not everyone has the ability to go into the sea to catch pearl oysters.
Jiang Xia is an emotionally stable person. She can digest everything quickly on her own and is rarely influenced by others. So she sat down, picked up the pen, and devoted herself fully to the translation work.
When Zhou's mother turned around and saw Jiang Xia's serious look, she suddenly calmed down.
Why get angry with others? You can't disturb your daughter-in-law from making money. It's not worth it.
By daybreak, Jiang Xia had finished translating the entire book. She wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it aside, checking it again when she got home in the evening.
Since there was not enough time to raise the net, Jiang Xia started fishing.
Zhou Chenglei then gave her the fishing rod in his hand.
Less than five minutes after the bait was cast, Jiang Xia felt a fish take the bait. She quickly reeled in the line, but then found it a little hard to reel in! Jiang Xia quickly called out, "Zhou Chenglei!"
Zhou Chenglei immediately stepped forward to help. He took a look at the sea and said, "Mom, quickly get the net bag, the biggest one, and also the hand-cast net."
Zhou's mother quickly picked up the largest net bag in the corner and ran over. She leaned over to look at the sea and saw a huge fish struggling hard in the water.
Mother Zhou’s eyes widened. Oh my goodness, what a big fish!
"Such a big fish, I'm afraid it's a shark?"
Zhou Chenglei took the net bag and said, "No, it looks like a red snapper. Mom, go drive the boat and ask Dad to come and help."
Zhou's mother immediately went to drive the boat and asked Zhou's father to come and help.
The boat is still trawling and cannot stop.
The fish was indeed big, and it was struggling violently in the water. Jiang Xia was very worried, fearing that the line would break and the fish would escape.
Zhou Chenglei also had this concern. The fish looked to be more than one meter long and should weigh nearly 100 kilograms, so there was a high probability that the line would break.
Mr. Zhou came very well.
Finally, the father and son worked together for a while and finally pulled a red octopus that was more than one meter long onto the boat!
Mother Zhou stared and laughed: "It really is an octopus? This is the first time I've seen such a big octopus. I'm so lucky!"
Father Zhou: "This fish is about one meter long."
Jiang Xia: "Probably about 1.5 meters tall."
Zhou Chenglei: "1.5 meters tall, probably weighs 100 kilograms."
Father Zhou laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared!
One and a half meters!
One hundred pounds!

Didn't that mean he caught a king red snapper? And it had to be his daughter-in-law.
One move and you'll catch the king of fish.
Jiang Xia: "How much does this fish cost per pound?"
The common name of red snapper is red sweet fish. Because it has a relatively light fishy smell, it is suitable for making sashimi. The price is also moderate, not as expensive as salmon. It can be said to be one of the most delicious sashimi dishes.
Jiang Xia wanted to eat the red snapper sashimi, but it was more important to sell it and make money, and he couldn't just cut off a piece.
Father Zhou: "Usually, a pound of 30-40 cm red snapper can be sold for about one yuan, but this king red snapper should be able to sell for 20-30-45 cents more."
Jiang Xia: ...This range of 2, 3, 4, and 5 is quite wide.
The people on the fishing boat that had been following them closely saw Jiang Xia catch a big fish.
Zhou Bingqiang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Guohua, can you tell what kind of fish it is?"
Zhou Guohua shook his head: "I can't see clearly, but judging from its size, it looks a bit like a small shark."
Zhou Bingqiang was a little jealous: "That's worth a lot of money! Zhou Yongfu's daughter-in-law seems to be really good at shipping. She caught a big fish early in the morning."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Wen Wan.
He took a big risk and promised his youngest son to take her on board. I wonder how she will survive the sea? They are superstitious fishermen who want to marry a daughter-in-law who will bring good luck to the family and husband.
Wen Wan noticed Zhou Bingqiang's gaze and pursed her lips: What do you mean? Do you think she is not as good as Jiang Xia?
We are all reborn. I had education and knowledge in my previous life, and I have a golden finger in this life. I can dream and foresee the future. How can I be inferior to Jiang Xia? Wen Wan felt that her luck should be better than Jiang Xia, so she said, "Do we have a fishing rod on our boat? I want to fish too."
If Jiang Xia could catch such a big fish, she believed she could too.
Zhou Guohua immediately said, "Yes! I just bought a new fishing rod that day."
He immediately ran over and took out the new fishing rod for Wen Wan.
There is only a fishing rod, but no bait.
But there is enough time to pull up the net, and then you can use small fish and shrimp to fish.
The father and son went to set up the net.
The net was a bit heavy, so the two of them happily pulled it up and poured it out.
They were all miscellaneous fish. Zhou Bingqiang took a look and said with a smile, "Not bad, there are squids, shrimps, quite a few mackerels, and even tiger groupers. This net can earn me thirty or forty yuan."
Wen Wan was a little jealous. She only earned 20 yuan for a few days of translation, but they could earn 30 or 40 yuan in two hours by just hauling a net! Zhou Guohua picked up a slightly smaller shrimp and handed it to her along with the fishing rod: "Xiao Wan, here, all the fish you catch will be yours."
Wen Wan perked up instantly. She took the fishing rod and bait with a smile and carefully hooked it: "How can I be so embarrassed? I can't take it."
Zhou Guohua: "Why be embarrassed? You caught it, so of course it belongs to you. You're welcome."
Zhou Bingqiang didn't say anything. He wanted to see if Wen Wan's shipping was good.
He also wants to find a daughter-in-law for his son who is good at sea transportation!
Wen Wan hooked the bait, walked to the boat with hope, and threw the bait down.
Soon, Wen Wan felt that a fish had taken the bait.
She was delighted and quickly pulled it up.
This pulling feeling is quite strong! (End of this chapter)
