Chapter 235: I Was Fooled Again
Zhou Chengxin glared at Zhou Chenglei and said unhappily: "I'll drive the boat!"
How could it be easier to divide the fish than to drive the boat? Let Zhou Chenglei divide the fish! He turned around and went to drive the boat.
Zhou Chenglei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said expressionlessly: "That's fine!"
Then he walked over, picked up the kettle, unscrewed it and handed it to Jiang Xia: "Drink some water first."
She hadn't had a sip of water for more than two hours.
Zhou Chengxin saw this and then he remembered that he had been sailing the whole morning without even drinking a sip of water, so he said, "Alei, give me my water bottle."
Zhou Chenglei directly picked up his elder brother's kettle and threw it over: "Come on."
Zhou Chengxin didn't react immediately and the kettle fell on him before he caught it.
Zhou Chengxin: “…”
What a brother! He even unscrewed the lid of his wife's kettle and threw the one for him directly at me!
As expected, he forgot about his brother after he got married!
Jiang Xia took the kettle and drank the water while looking at the fishing boat next door.
On the fishing boat next to them, Uncle Dong and his son were pulling up the net together.
Because they could usually pull up the fishing net without much effort, the two of them didn't put in much effort this time.
As a result, it didn't move! The father and son looked at each other and increased their strength.
The result is still no pull!
Both of their heartbeats quickened, and they began to increase their strength, testing each other bit by bit!
As they exerted more strength, their hearts beat faster! Finally, the father and son used all their strength to pull up a large bag of fish.
Seeing that they were struggling to pull, Jiang Xia said, "It seems that Uncle Dong and the others have made a good harvest."
As she said this, she handed the kettle to Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei took it and started drinking.
The fish were spit out from the fishing net, and the deck was full of fish, shrimps and crabs, mostly silver pomfret and white shrimps. Uncle Dong was so moved that he almost cried!
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had caught so many fish.
The price of shrimp has always been higher than that of ordinary fish, and the price of silver pomfret is also good. This net of fish can definitely be sold for over a hundred yuan.
Uncle Dong said with a smile: "Your uncle Yongfu is right, Lei's wife is a lucky charm!"
Whoever touches it will be prosperous!
Zhou Guodong was also very surprised when he saw the pile of fish: "Should we continue to follow Brother Alei's boat to trawle?"
"I should ask them if it's convenient. I can't always follow others."
People need to have a sense of boundaries.
So Uncle Dong asked Zhou Chenglei loudly: "Alei, are you going to feed the fish?"
Who is Zhou Chenglei? When Uncle Dong asked, he guessed what he had not finished saying. He said, "Let's drag one more net before we go."
Uncle Dong continued, "Then my boat will follow yours to drag another net. Do you mind?"
Zhou Chenglei replied: "I don't mind, let's go together!"
So Uncle Dong happily drove his boat, sailing parallel to Zhou Chenglei's fishing boat, not too far away.
Zhou Chenglei went to put down the fishing net.
Jiang Xia took out gloves and prepared to put them on to divide the fish.
Zhou Chenglei saw this and stopped her: "Eat first, and then share after you finish eating."
Once Jiang Xia starts dividing the fish, she won't eat until she's finished.
It's almost twelve o'clock now, and it will be past one o'clock by the time we finish dividing the fish.
Jiang Xia thought about it and decided that it would be okay to eat first and then work, so he took out the lunch box and asked Zhou Chengxin, "Brother, do you want to eat first?"
Zhou Chenglei: "The net has just been put down, and Big Brother wants to start the boat. It's only 11:30 now, and Big Brother is used to eating at 12 o'clock! I will start the boat after I finish eating, so that Big Brother can eat."
Zhou Chengxin: “…”
Damn! He was fooled by Zhou Chenglei again!
What a good brother! So Zhou Chenglei pulled Jiang Xia to sit down and eat.
Today's meal included fried leek eggs and dried fish. Although Jiang Xia was not picky about food, Zhou Chenglei had already discovered that she loved fried leek eggs, so he shared all the fried leek eggs in his lunch box with her. "I don't like this."
Jiang Xia glanced at him and knew that he did not dislike it, but he did not expose him. He gave half of it back to him and also gave half of the dried fish in his own bowl to him.
Jiang Xia didn't really like dried fish, so she decided to buy some fermented black beans and learn how to make dace with fermented black beans. She made the dried fish into mixed fish with fermented black beans and put it in a jar. When she went out to sea or was too busy to cook too many dishes, she would just take some out and eat it. It was fragrant and went well with rice!
Zhou Chengxin was driving the boat alone, watching the couple eating and sharing food.
Zhou Chenglei would also help Jiang Xia to comb her hair that was messed up by the occasional sea breeze.
The main theme is a loving couple, oblivious to the people around them!
Zhou Chengxin just felt wronged.
How on earth had his father endured going out to sea with them before?
Zhou Chengxin felt that this couple didn't treat him as a human being at all!
Before, his father was there, Zhou Chengxin didn't feel it, but now that only the couple is here, the feeling is very obvious! He feels like a scarecrow who can drive a boat! The two of them ate quickly, and after dinner Zhou Chenglei went to drive the boat and let Zhou Chengxin eat.
Jiang Xia also went to divide the fish.
When the fish, shrimps and crabs on the deck have been divided up, it's time to pull up the nets.
The two brothers had a very hard time pulling the net!
Jiang Xia came forward to help!
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
When I opened it, I saw that almost all of them were red-billed sturgeons.
There are estimated to be more than a hundred of them, each weighing about ten pounds, which means there are over a thousand pounds.
The most famous product of the red-billed sturgeon is its fish maw.
Red-billed fish maw ranks second among the four major fish maws, second only to the fish maw of golden croaker.
It is also a kind of fish glue that is more friendly to postpartum women.
When Zhou Chenglei saw the red-billed sturgeons on the deck, he decided not to sell them. He would give the money in cash to his elder brother later.
Although he and Jiang Xia did not plan to have children so early, this fish was really rare. If they sold it now, they might not be able to catch it again in the future.
Moreover, this kind of fish glue will be more effective if stored for a long time.
The boat of Uncle Dong next door also had a bursting net. The net should be about three or four hundred kilograms, but they were not mostly red-billed cod, but mostly silver pomfret and mackerel, with only a few red-billed cod.
Their net profit should be more than two or three hundred yuan.
Zhou Chenglei drove the boat closer to their fishing boat and shouted, "Uncle Dong, we are going to feed the fish."
Uncle Dong was very tactful and said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead! Don't worry about us, we are also preparing to return home."
His fishing boat was not as big as Zhou Chenglei's and could not hold so many fish, so they planned to drag in one more net and then go back.
While trawling the net, the boat was sailing back.
Zhou Chengxin saw the fish on Uncle Dong's deck and smiled, "Uncle Dong, today's catch is good!"
Uncle Dong smiled and said, "Thanks to your luck! A-lei's wife, do you want this dried silver pomfret? If you do, I'll take it home, dry it, and send it to you."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I collected them. Just like I taught Aunt Dong before, I cut them into small pieces but didn't cut them apart. I just left them connected and dried them in the sun."
"Okay, I know, I'll make sure it gets a good tan! Let's go then!"
Then the two fishing boats sailed away.
Zhou Chenglei drove the boat to Pearl Island, where the fish cages were located, and stopped the boat.
The two brothers sorted out the small fish and shrimps that were neither valuable nor tasty, chopped them up, put them in cloth bags, and then went into the water.
The two men poured the fish meat from the cloth bag into the net cage.
A group of fish in the net cage swam over one after another to eat.
Not only that, because they come to feed the fish almost every day, there are more shrimps and crabs around the cages.
Just come here to eat.
Zhou Chenglei also saw two small blue dragons and several large blue crabs.
The two brothers hurried to catch them! After feeding the fish, they went to take a look at the pearl oysters and found that the nets used to raise pearl oysters were covered with mud and seaweed. The two brothers took them down and brought them back to the boat to clean them.
Jiang Xia said that the pearl net must be cleaned if it is dirty, so as not to affect the growth of pearl oysters.
If the cage is too dirty, it needs to be cleaned, but the cage is fine now and not too dirty.
The three of them worked hard on the boat to clean the pearl nets.
When they were done, they put the pearl oysters back into the grid, and then the two brothers took them back to the sea and hung them up.
Jiang Xia was distributing fish on the boat when she suddenly looked up and saw many seabirds flying over the beach of the island, as if they were fighting for food.
There are also many seabirds flying over there in the sky.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin just happened to swim up from the bottom of the sea.
Jiang Xia hurriedly said: "Look over there on the island!"
