Chapter 110: New Posture of the Tablet
When Zhou's father and mother heard that Jiang Xia was going to sell the silver, they had no objection.
The two elders believe that their children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and they will not interfere with what their children want to do.
Mother Zhou said with a smile, "It's better to sell it. The current price of silver seems to be very high! Isn't Auntie Guo planning to marry her daughter-in-law? I heard her say the other day that she spent more than 20 yuan to make a silver ring for her daughter-in-law."
Such a big piece of silver would probably cost several thousand dollars if sold, right?
Father Zhou smiled and said, "The last time I went to sell pearls, Manager Zhang from the gold shop also said that the price of silver has been rising. He said it has risen to fifty dollars an ounce. He said it will probably rise further this year."
Zhou's mother didn't understand: "What do you mean by ounce? One ounce? Does it mean that silver is fifty dollars per ounce now? It seems that we can get more money by exchanging dollars for our currency?"
Father Zhou: "I don't know either, it should mean one or two taels!"
Jiang Xia simply explained ounces to give the two elders a rough idea: "A pound is about a little over seventeen ounces."
Zhou's mother held up her finger. One ounce is fifty dollars, ten ounces is five hundred dollars, plus seven ounces...
It’s hard to calculate, it’s impossible to calculate at all, but Zhou’s mother knows it’s a lot of money.
So many that she couldn’t count them all!
She asked excitedly, "Can the money from selling this big guy be enough to buy a big boat?"
Jiang Xia calculated that this piece of "UFO" weighs ten kilograms, and if it is 50 dollars per ounce, "it can probably be sold for more than 8,800 dollars."
She was not sure about the current exchange rate of the US dollar. She remembered that it didn't seem high, only about 1.5, but it would get higher and higher in the future.
However, the price of silver started to fall after this year, and the decline was quite large, so it is said that there are very few things in the world that can have the best of both worlds.
But Jiang Xia was also very satisfied. In the book, this piece of silver was picked up by Zhou Chenglei, and it was sold at the highest price, about 13,000 yuan.
She had found a boat today.
When Zhou's mother heard the price of more than 8,800 US dollars, she smiled and said, "Now we don't have to worry about not having enough money to buy a boat!"
Father Zhou said with a smile: "There is still an extra five thousand dollars, which is enough to pay the deposit for another boat!"
Zhou's mother couldn't help but feel happy: "Yes, yes, yes, there are still 5,000 US dollars left. Even if we don't order a boat, it's enough to build a house! I don't know how big a house I can build with 5,000 US dollars now. Cement and red bricks seem to be expensive again."
"Five thousand yuan can buy a small apartment in the city. If you convert US dollars into RMB, you will get more money. There is absolutely no problem buying a two-and-a-half-story house in the village. Before..."
The two old men were discussing enthusiastically how to use the five thousand dollars.
Jiang Xia listened to what the two elders said and wondered whether it would be better to buy a house first or to order a boat.
The cost of building a house is getting more expensive every year, and the cost of buying a boat is getting more expensive every year.
It’s hard to decide. I’ll discuss it with Zhou Chenglei tonight.
Zhou Chenglei went to set the net again. It was only three o'clock now, so he could drag one more net before going back.
Father Zhou was talking excitedly with Mother Zhou, but when he saw Zhou Chenglei setting the net alone, he immediately shouted, "Xiao Xia, ..."
Jiang Xia already knew what Zhou's father was going to say next. Before he could finish, she smiled and said, "Okay, Dad. I'll go set the net right away."
Zhou's father laughed: "My daughter-in-law is smarter, my son is really stupid and incorrigible!" Jiang Xia walked to Zhou Chenglei, and Zhou Chenglei made way for her, letting her stand in front of him and setting the net with her.
Father Zhou suddenly had an idea and thought of a new posture.
So Zhou Paiwei held the "UFO" in his hand, stood straight, and silently chanted behind the two people: Money comes, money comes, money comes rolling in! Rolling in! Like the waves in the sea, one after another rolling in.
Zhou's mother, who was driving the boat, said: "..."
Zhou Chenglei felt his father behind him and looked back: "..."
Jiang Xia felt Zhou Chenglei turn his head, so she also looked back, then smiled: "Why is Zhou Dad so cute?" Jiang Xia moved her body, and Zhou Chenglei was afraid that she would fall into the sea, so he subconsciously hugged her waist and protected her.
Seeing the invisible intimacy between the two, Zhou's father was relieved: Haha, money will come! Zhou Chenglei saw Jiang Xia smile, and he turned back to look at his father: "Dad, you continue!"
Father Zhou felt that under the shining light of his cards, wealth would surely come. He finished reading and had enough. He was about to withdraw his posture when his son said this! Do you think he is a monkey?
Although I wanted to kick the unfilial son off the boat, but harmony brings wealth, for the sake of making more money, I had to endure it and take another photo. ***The last net of fish was pulled up at five o'clock while returning to the voyage, and it was a big bag full of barramundi.
This fish is not expensive, only about 20 cents per pound, but there are a lot of them, almost 300 pounds!
It can also be sold for around sixty yuan.
Father Zhou is very satisfied!
It is normal for the waves in the sea to be big and small.
Isn't it okay to have a small wave this time and a big wave next time? He loves both big and small waves! They are all welcome! When the boat was about to dock, Zhou's father reminded Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, remember to keep a close eye on that thing. Old lady, you should also pay more attention to it."
So many fish were caught today, and some villagers might come on board to take a look. If any of the fish were taken away by someone, he would have to treat it as a real memorial tablet.

Jiang Xia responded as he divided the fish: "Okay."
Zhou's mother said unhappily, "I know."
He has said it a hundred times, isn't it annoying? She is more afraid of disappearing than he is! As soon as the boat docked, it really attracted the envy and jealousy of a group of villagers.
"Is this a red snapper? No! Such a big red snapper? You caught three in one go?"
"There are two more manta rays? The sea is your fishing ground, right?"
"Not only that! Didn't you see that these baskets and baskets are also red snapper? Zhou Yongfu, are you a human being? How can you catch so many!"
Father Zhou said with a smile: "Haha, you can tell that I am not a human being? I am just a tablet, and this is all thanks to A Lei's wife!"
What is a tablet? The villagers didn't understand, nor did they care, but the way they looked at Jiang Xia was different!
It was a bit busy today, so Zhou's father didn't say much to everyone and quickly moved the goods off the boat.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin had already carried a load of fish off the boat.
Some villagers also enthusiastically helped to carry the fish down to be weighed.
They couldn't help but ask where Zhou's father went to fish, and some even expressed their desire to follow him.
Father Zhou said generously: "Sure, follow me if you want!"
Practice has proved that they are not tablets, and there is no one in the family who brings good fortune, so it is useless to follow them! Just look at Zhou Bingqiang and you will know.
Father Zhou saw so many villagers boarding the boat and was afraid that the silver would be discovered, so he said to Jiang Xia: "Wangcai, no, Xiaoxia, don't forget what I just said!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Was it her that Zhou's father called out "Wangcai" just now? Tian Caihua looked at the boat full of fish and felt so jealous that she didn't want to say anything.
She walked straight to the two bags of oysters to see if they had picked up any pearl oysters today.
Sorry, I am a little late in posting today.
