After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 128 Cave

Zhou Chenglei drove the boat far away and put down the net with Jiang Xia.

Father Zhou took the initiative to take over the task of sailing the boat and trawled the net all the way there.

After all, it's still early and it's not yet dawn. The same sea as last time is not suitable for diving immediately. There is still more than an hour before dawn. Two hours of dragging a net is enough, but we can't waste time.

After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei finished setting up the net, they continued to translate.

Zhou Chengxin was fishing and originally wanted to call Jiang Xia, but when he saw that Jiang Xia wanted to translate, he felt embarrassed and called Zhou Chenglei instead.

Zhou Chenglei looked at him indifferently: "I'll learn translation from my wife, you can catch it yourself!"

Zhou Chengxin's mouth twitched: "Can you do it?"

Zhou Chenglei: “Ofcourse.”

Zhou Chengxin: “…”

I regret not studying properly.

If I had studied one day longer than Zhou Chenglei back then, I wouldn't be like this today!

Zhou Chenglei can also speak and read English. There is no problem in ordinary communication, but he is not as good as Jiang Xia.

So he also picked up a science and technology magazine and learned to translate it. After all, staying with Jiang Xia was better than fishing with his elder brother.

A science and technology magazine, including more than an hour of translation after dinner last night, took Jiang Xia more than three hours to complete the translation, and he would check it again in the evening.

Zhou Chenglei tried to translate half of it, but if he was unsure about some parts, he had to ask Jiang Xia.

It was time to set up the net at this time, so the two packed up the magazines and prepared to set up the net.

Jiang Xia was still urged by Zhou's father to touch the fishing net before letting Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin set up the net together.

This net yielded a good harvest, mostly dragon fish, as well as a dozen big-eye bream and other miscellaneous fish of various sizes.

Bigeye snapper likes to stay in the day and come out at night, and winter and spring are the peak seasons. These dozen of them probably fell in love before they even had time to go home and sleep.

The Longli fish is called tongue fish by some and pedal fish by others because it looks like both a tongue and a pedal.

The meat of Longli fish is delicious, with high meat yield and smooth texture. The fish meat is not old after being cooked for a long time, it is very tender, and there is no fishy smell. It is delicious when pan-fried.

Jiang Xia decided to take some dragon fish and a big-eye snapper home to eat.

Father Zhou estimates that this website can be sold for fifty yuan, haha, not bad!

As long as Wangcai's hand has touched the net, there is no net worth less than thirty yuan per net.

The sun came out early, and Zhou Chenglei drove the boat to the sea area where he dived that day.

It was early in the morning, so Zhou Chenglei was worried that Jiang Xia would go into the water so early. Moreover, it was a cave and he didn't know what was hidden in it.

Zhou Chenglei had to go first to see if any dangerous or poisonous marine life had escaped.

Jiang Xia is not in a hurry. Diving is risky, so safety comes first.

She can go down again after noon.

So Jiang Xia stayed on the boat to share the fish. The father and son warmed up, put on their diving suits and equipment, and went into the water to poke abalone nests!

John and Jill taught everyone how to use this device that day. Zhou Chenglei already knew it, so he taught them again today.

Jiang Xia divided the fish on the boat and picked up the abalones handed over by Zhou Chenglei and his son every ten minutes.

Each net bag is full, and each abalone is very big. Some abalone Jiang Xia feels are bigger than one side of her face!

The three of them went back and forth into the water five or six times and pried out eleven bags of abalone. Zhou's father couldn't bear it and got on the boat first.

Then Zhou Chengxin came on board.

Zhou Chenglei went into the water three more times than them before returning to the boat to rest.

At this time, five large bags of abalone were already packed in snakeskin bags on the boat!

Jiang Xia waited for Zhou Chenglei to take off his diving equipment, then handed him a kettle, chocolate, boiled eggs and other things to replenish his strength.

She had taken care of Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin in this way just now, but the lid of the kettle for Zhou Chenglei had been unscrewed, the chocolate had its wrapping paper peeled off, and the eggs had also been peeled.

Zhou Chenglei took a bite of the chocolate and stopped eating it. It was too sweet. If Jiang Xia hadn't fed it to his mouth, he wouldn't have eaten a bite. Jiang Xia fed him the eggs and ate the rest of the chocolate herself.

"Are there any abalones on the bottom of the sea?" Jiang Xia asked.

Zhou Chenglei: "Yes."

Father Zhou said excitedly: "There are many more. There is a cave under the water. The rock wall is full of them. I guess they won't be able to pry them all off tomorrow."

Although these abalones are variegated abalones and have a good taste without wrinkles, they are still abalones, and abalones are only about size. When they grow to such a big size, they are already very valuable. The largest ones are dried in the sun. If they are well dried, they can be sold to a restaurant during the Chinese New Year. Each one should fetch seven or eight yuan.

They caught all the big ones, so many! There should be more than a hundred of them. How can I make a thousand or hundreds of dollars today?

Zhou Chengxin: "There are too many. I have never seen so many abalones."

Jiang Xia laughed: "Then let's come here these days to pry abalones."

Zhou Chenglei: "Yeah."

Zhou Chenglei took a rest and was about to help Jiang Xia put on the diving suit and take her into the water. At this time, a ship sailed toward them in the distance. Zhou Chenglei said: "Brother, drive the ship away."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Zhou Chengxin was also preparing to launch the boat again. Hearing this, he took one look at the boat and hurried to sail it.

Jiang Xia asked: "Are you afraid that others will discover the cave?"

Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Well, that cave is not very deep. People with good water skills can still dive in. It is suitable for abalone to grow there. As long as no one finds it, we can pry it in the future. Now let's drag a net of fish and come back later. Shall I take you to dive again?”

Jiang Xia had no objection, "Okay."

So their boat started trawling again.

The people on that boat saw the Zhou family's boat parked there for more than half an hour. They were curious about what they were doing, so they drove over to take a look.

Now they saw the Zhou family's boat starting to trawl. They drove to a location near where the Zhou family's boat had just parked. They found nothing and drove away.

After Zhou Chenglei dragged a net of fish, he sailed the boat back to the sea area.

This time Zhou's father stayed on the boat, and Jiang Xia, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin went into the water.

Before entering the water, Zhou Chenglei repeatedly taught Jiang Xia painstakingly and taught her for half an hour. After repeated confirmation, he took her into the water.

Jiang Xia dived into the sea for the first time and saw the sun shining through the sea water, making her feel like she was inside a blue gem.

Very dreamy and beautiful!

Zhou Chenglei identified the direction and took Jiang Xia to swim in a certain direction. This time the boat stopped a bit far away. After all, it was difficult to grasp the position in the sea.

But it doesn't matter. You can take Jiang Xia for a swim on the bottom of the sea to get familiar with it.

The main thing is that she is not very skilled in putting on this equipment.

Because there is an island not far away in this area, it is not very deep to the bottom of the sea. There is enough light, and Jiang Xia can see some small fish swimming past him.

Soon the three of them swam to the cave, and Jiang Xia finally saw what an abalone nest was.

It's just that the cave is pitch black and deep, and you can't see the bottom at a glance, which makes it a bit scary.

It is said that abalones are nocturnal, probably because it is dark inside this cave, so they hide here and make their home.

Everyone is curious about how deep the cave is and what is inside the cave, but no one has the heart to explore for the time being.

Jiang Xia took the iron hook and learned the method Zhou Chenglei taught her, and quickly hooked the abalone into the net bag.

When the net bag is full, he swims up and hands it to Zhou's father, pours the abalone onto the boat, and then continues diving with the net bag empty.

After going back and forth like this three times, Jiang Xia couldn't stand it anymore and returned to the boat.

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin continued to collect abalone.

Not long after the two entered the water, the previous boat discovered that their boat was parked there again, so it drove towards the Zhou family's boat again.
