Chapter 271: Tonight, We All Get Rich
Chapter 271: Tonight, We All Get Rich
Bridge
Zhou Fu asked the ship workers, "Who's going to drive the ship? I'll go set the nets."
Jiang Yang and the others entered.
"Uncle, did you find a school of fish?"
As they looked at the fish finder, there was no sign of a school. Only a few scattered fish swam in the sea.
"Uncle, we haven't found a school yet. Are you setting the nets so soon?"
Zhou Fu replied, "No, but once Xia comes out, she can point in any direction, and we'll sail that way. We'll encounter a school soon without needing the fish finder. Xia is even better than the fish finder!"
Jiang Yang and the others, who valued science and opposed feudal superstition, were speechless.
Zhou Fu asked again, "Who's driving the ship? Those not driving can come with me to fish."
Jiang Yang and the others didn't enjoy fishing and lacked talent for it. They could fish for half a day and catch nothing.
The most challenging part was fishing with Zhou Fu, as only he caught fish while they caught nothing. Usually, they'd only catch one or two fish after an entire night.
So, they all rushed forward, eager to drive the ship.
"I'm not fishing. I'll drive the ship!"
"I won't fish either. I'll drive! You guys go fish with Uncle!"
In the end, Jiang Yang, being closer, seized the opportunity.
Perfect! Now he could show off his cool driving skills to his wife.
"Wife, come here quickly and keep me company while I drive."
Yang Mei glared at him and walked over.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei came out, and Jiang Xia handed the camera to Yang Mei. "Sister Mei, take a photo of Brother Jiang!"
Yang Mei's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she took the camera. "Sure, thanks, Xia."
Seeing this, Yang Bin and the others immediately said, "Jiangzi, I'll take over later. I want a photo too, to show my son!"
"I want a photo too, to show my wife."
Everyone wanted to drive the ship and take photos, so Zhou Fu said to Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, "Alei, you go set the nets."
Zhou Chenglei pulled Jiang Xia away.
But Zhou Fu stopped Jiang Xia. "Xia, you stay here and tell Jiang Yang which direction to sail."
Zhou Chenglei rolled his eyes at his father and walked away, speechless.
Bringing his father on this trip was a mistake! Although he couldn't stay behind, as there were too many people on the ship, he just wanted to kiss Jiang Xia.
Even this simple request was interrupted.
It was all his father's fault! Jiang Xia found it amusing. Which direction could they sail in?
They were heading to Suicheng, and the route and direction were already set.
But Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Just sail forward like this."
Zhou Fu patted Jiang Yang's shoulder and said, "Sail forward! Keep sailing forward!"
The wealth position was right ahead! Suicheng was in that direction too. Haha, Wangcai would definitely strike it rich at the Huizhui Conference.
For the next half a month, the Wangcai couple would get rich, one at sea and the other on land.
Perfect!
Jiang Yang: "..."
They were already sailing forward! Was Uncle Zhou joking?
Even less reliable than his previous method of spinning a photo to determine the direction! Seeing Jiang Yang's helpless expression, Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Trust me, we'll encounter a school of fish within five minutes."
Jiang Yang couldn't help but glance at the fish finder.
The fish finder could detect fish within several hundred meters, but now, only a few scattered fish appeared on the screen.
At their current speed, they wouldn't travel too far in five minutes.
So, they'd encounter a school of fish in five minutes?
Unless a school of fish swam by at high speed!
Zhou Fu was very confident and didn't wait for those five minutes. With Wangcai around, he could catch a fish in that time!
Zhou Fu waved at Jiang Xia. "Xia, come! Let's go fishing!"
Zhou Fu called out to Yang Bin and the others. "Yang, Zhang, go fishing quickly. Hurry, catch more fish! We'll take photos later."
They had to hurry!
With Wangcai around, every second counted, and money poured in.
Standing here was a waste of money!
Jiang Xia was getting off the ship tomorrow morning, and Zhou Fu planned to challenge the Night Golden Rush tonight.
In just one night, they earned what they would in ten days at sea.
Let these little brats see how lucky his family is!
The photos are lucky, but the real thing is even luckier.
Otherwise, they'd just roll their eyes at his photos.
Jiang Xia smiled and replied, then walked out with Zhou Fu.
Yang Bin and his group didn't like fishing.
They couldn't catch a single fish in an entire night. What's the point of fishing? Are they fishing for loneliness?
But when Zhou Fu called, they followed him out.
Might as well humor the old man.
Zhou Fu handed several fishing rods to Jiang Xia to touch, then distributed them to the others: "Trust me, today I'll let you experience what it's like to fish until your hands are sore!"
They laughed and took the fishing rods, but didn't believe him.
They only believed that Zhou Fu could fish until his hands were sore.
Their legs would go numb from standing, or their butts would hurt from sitting, but their hands wouldn't get sore.
Thinking this, they still took the rods and walked to bait their hooks.
Zhou Fu smiled: "Get ready! The fish you catch today are yours. Tonight, we'll all get rich!"
There were several sets of fishing rods on the boat, some ordered by the shipyard, some given by Zhou Chang and Xu Chang, and some imported by Zhou Chenglei with Zhou Chang's help.
They were all excellent fishing rods, the most advanced for this era.
Zhou Chenglei had even modified them, so with the right technique, catching a hundred-pound fish was no problem.
Zhou Fu baited a hook and handed the rod to Jiang Xia: "Xia, help me cast it into the sea."
"Okay," Jiang Xia took the rod and helped Zhou Fu cast the bait.
Everyone else also cast their baits.
As night fell, the wind on the deck picked up. Zhou Chenglei finished setting the nets and walked over to Jiang Xia, taking off his thin jacket and putting it on her, then buttoning the top button to secure it. This way, it kept her warm and blocked the wind: "How's the fishing?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Fishing."
Might as well do something while waiting.
Zhou Chenglei went to get a fishing rod, baited it, and pulled Jiang Xia to fish together.
Zhou Fu turned and saw Jiang Xia wearing his son's jacket, the two of them fishing together.
He smiled: "The lucky pose is ready, the fish are coming, right?"
Yang Bin and Zhang Jiayang saw this and had their wives hold fishing rods, then took off their jackets and put them on their wives.
Zhou Fu smiled. Excellent people always inspire excellence in those around them!
Today's display of affection was overflowing.
Lucky!
Lucky!
At that moment, an excited shout came from the bridge: "Holy shit! There's a school of fish! A huge school! Cast the nets! Did you cast the nets? The school is coming this way!"
Yang Bin and Zhang Jiayang heard this and wanted to rush inside, as chasing the fish school with the boat was thrilling!
Much more thrilling than fishing!
But just as they turned, their wives shouted: "Old Zhang/Old Yang, did a fish bite? It seems like a fish is on the hook! Look quickly!"
The two hurriedly turned and took the rods, and indeed, "Holy shit, there's a fish on the hook!"
"Wow! Wife, you're amazing! It's a big fish!"
Zhou Fu also had a bite, and he calmly reeled it in, a smile on his lips: Hmm, it's not their wives who are amazing, it's his family's luck!
Feng Jianjun, who didn't bring his wife, was surprised: "So fast to get a bite?"
Kang Guoping next to him: "I got one too!"
Chen Guodong: "I got one too! A big fish! Definitely a big one!"
Feng Jianjun: "Why don't I have one yet?"
As he spoke, his line also moved!
"I got one too! Is there a school of fish passing by?"
For a moment, every rod had a fish on the hook!
Jiang Yang in the bridge also roared: "There's a school of fish, another school!"
