Chapter 24 White Lies
After returning home with great pleasure, Xia Yu and his parents returned home, and Chen Fuqiong also asked them if they would continue to go out to sea tomorrow.
Xia Yu replied, "Yes, if the weather is right, go out to sea to fish, and there is nothing else to do at home."
"You think it's okay!" Chen Fuqiong's complaint made the two men laugh embarrassedly. They were careless, as if nothing else at home was important except fishing and fishing.
Chen Fuqiong is thrifty and thrifty. Men spend money very much. No matter how good the relationship with Xia Mingguang is, there will be times when there are quarrels, mostly for the two children.
Xia Mingguang has a more bold and free personality and mainly focuses on free-range children. He has been fishing these days, but the difference is that he is fishing. He only took a day off yesterday and did something at home.
Now the other three are used to it, so Chen Fuqiong just said it.
Xia Yu doesn't like watching TV, and after returning home, he basically hides in his own house or study, and makes trouble for his own affairs.
This night was no exception. He used the farming talent of the flower farming family to fully demonstrate, but it was limited to space. In reality, he had never cared about the vegetable fields at home and the flowers and plants grown by summer snow in the yard...
The vegetables he planted at the time, except for the tomatoes that are still blooming and waiting for fruition, are completely edible as long as they are not too seedlings.
What surprised him the most was that not only did the crocus grow very quickly, the ginseng and tea seeds he planted also sprouted. The germination rate was not particularly high, only about 70%, but it was enough for him.
He had no idea of buying fertilizer for fertilization at all. He only watered it and carried out rough planting, which could be said to be pure natural and pollution-free.
Paying attention to these plants and watering doesn't take much effort at all, Xia Yu just did it casually.
The seafood in artificial oceans are similar and they have not disturbed their lives. As long as there is no seafood dying for no reason, it is good. Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimps. He will not interfere with the normal predation phenomenon. Just pay attention to adding some new seafood into the space.
What made him most exhausted was naturally the treatment of the treasure of the shipwreck.
Especially for thousands of pieces of porcelain, if it weren't for his extremely big nerves and his mental power, it could be said that he was particularly strong, it would be easy to cause neurasthenia.
In his spare time, he was also focused on using it, and he also gave priority to the most precious Yongzheng porcelain in it. It was also the previous survey, cleaning, desalination, and strengthening.
According to his statistics, there were 726 pieces of porcelain he salvaged in the boutique cabin this time, which was much smaller than the number of porcelains in the previous cabins, but in terms of value, it was not of the same level.
Scarcity is precious, unless it is sold to museums or various institutions as a whole, Xia Yu does not intend to take out more.
Also, how to take action is a difficult problem. It’s okay to have one or two items, but if there are more numbers, it will easily cause trouble.
But no matter what, you must first preserve all these precious cultural relics. If you cannot salvage them, you will throw them aside and ignore them.
This small plate with blue and white butterfly pattern needs to be desalted urgently. It is placed above the wooden barrel. The blue and white color and glaze are restrained due to the erosion of mud and sand and seawater. The fire is restrained and the color is slightly blue and light. Unlike the porcelain below the wooden barrel, it looks particularly new and shiny.
At this time, the boss of Zhou Ji Seafood Restaurant called him and scolded him for being too unkind, "I knew you were happy and asked you to keep the good things you kept for me to get into your own stomach!"
"Please, Brother Chen, do you have some culture and use the right idioms? Butter crabs were caught by me and my cousin today, and they are not easy to sell for money. We haven't eaten them for a long time, so let's not say it. They are really delicious in the world, the king of crabs!" Xia Yu mocked him for not saying it, but he was angry with him. As for what channel he learned from, he doesn't need to guess.
"Hey, butter crabs are really hard to come by, and the wild ones are even more cherished. If you go out to sea tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, keep them for me!" Zhou Chen knew that he was catching wild ones, and Xia Yu's family did not engage in breeding. Moreover, even if the butter crabs are semi-wild, the price is very expensive.
"I will never forget it. Together with the goods I received in the past few days, I will deliver them to you the next day after tomorrow!" Xia Yu said.
"Then the relationship is good, you can take photos and videos for me in advance. The customers here all want to eat wild seafood."
Xia Yu said it was fine, but after talking a few more words, he took the phone call.
His main source of income at this stage is seafood, so it is time to deliver some to him to sell it. What Xia Xue brought before has become her living expenses, and the endless use of it will naturally exist in her "small treasury" of the money-lovers.
Xia Yu is not so stingy and cares about her asking for money. It is easy to explain the source of seafood here. In addition to the ones he caught, they had helped Zhou Chen to collect some high-end seafood. However, during this fishing moratorium, they could only catch the sea by the sea and go out to sea to fish. Diving is very dangerous and not allowed. Not all fishermen dare to take such risks. If they can't catch fish, they will have to lose oil costs. No one is willing to do anything that is not good.
Also, Xia Yu is very aware that no matter how much wild seafood is in Zhouji Seafood Restaurant, it can be collected. Even if it can’t be sold for a while, it will be quite good to keep it in the fish tank of the restaurant to attract customers.
The reality is just as Zhou Chen said, high-end wild seafood is in short supply. It is also a blessing that their restaurants can afford good prices. Otherwise, if the fishermen catch good things and post them directly on WeChat groups and WeChat Moments, they can basically sell them, but the price is not as high as that of hotels and restaurants.
He didn't have to worry about whether his seafood shipments would be investigated or not. That was also a matter of the restaurant. As long as Zhou Chen and the others were not stupid, they would not give him up.
Even if the restaurant is reported by a competitor and needs to be inspected, the restaurant will handle it by itself. Generally, those who do such a business basically cannot withstand strict inspections. If they follow the laws and regulations, they will not survive at all. It depends on their own abilities.
In short, as long as Xia Yu helps him get high-end wild seafood products in Zhouji Seafood Restaurant, Xia Yu and the others don’t have to worry about anything else.
The next day, the father and son went out to sea at around 9 o'clock and waited until the wind stopped and rain stopped.
Xia Yu's experience in undersea salvage has gradually become richer, and his use of mental power can be described as meticulous, and the salvage speed has also become faster.
In the morning, I harvested another cabin of ordinary blue and white porcelain, but in the afternoon, I didn’t have much of a big harvest. In the two cabins, I only harvested three bronze cannons with a size similar to before, and were also printed with Portuguese badges, as well as some copper locks, copper boxes and copper plates. The economic value is not high, but it is just daily daily necessities. However, in terms of the value of cultural relics, the value of sea life, combat, and other social situations at that time was quite good.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a ship is a microcosm of society at that time.
He had salvaged for so long, but he did not find human corpses on the ship. The ship was not particularly large. He probably jumped into the sea to escape when the ship sank. The distance from the wreck to Shigui Island was not too far, only five or six hundred meters away. As for these crew members, it may be that the fate of the pirates after swimming on the island, there is no way to know.
After his salvage in the past few days, he estimated that the shipwreck would be able to be salvaged within a week. At that time, he should go back to school to attend the graduation ceremony, and then complete various school leave procedures, obtain a graduate degree certificate, and officially enter society.
The two rushed back to the dock before dark, and then went home without delay.
They did not put the catch in the fish tank as before, but packed it directly. Then during the meal, Xia Yu also told Xia Ma that they would send the seafood to the restaurant later.
Chen Fuqiong did not doubt that he was there, but just asked them to take photos and videos well and keep records so as not to cause any problems. Not only the restaurant receives goods, but the express delivery company is also one aspect. In short, do what they should do properly.
Both the father and son were used to Xia Ma's nagging and felt very kind.
They didn't reveal Xia Yu's secret to Xia Ma and Xia Xue, and they had to do many things behind their backs.
Xia Yu called it a "kind lie". He even told his father that if the situation was not urgent, he would not even want his father to bear such a burden, because keeping a secret is actually a very painful thing.
Xia Mingguang is not that pretentious. He only thinks that men should take responsibility and do not follow the details of accomplishing big things.
Xia Yu was slapped at him again, and Xia Mingguang felt particularly warm when he heard this.
Xia Yu went to the express delivery by himself. The seafood in the space had to be sent to Zhou Chen, so he made a packing box directly inside.
Chen Fuqiong didn't think too much about this electric tricycle, if it were necessary, it wouldn't be necessary. The two old men were quite crowded and they didn't have much seafood to send this time. Moreover, except for her like to go to the sea to waves, Xia Yu has always been very steady and reliable in doing other things. After he became sensible, she less worried about it.
Xia Mingguang stayed at home and helped her with some housework diligently.
Before Xia Yu drove to the express delivery company in the town, he transferred several foam insulation boxes in the space from the space to the electric car.
The logistics industry has now developed quite well. The express delivery companies in the seaside town here have also launched targeted seafood transportation services. The target location is mainly Yuhai City, the provincial capital that consumes the most seafood every day.
The seafood delivered by Xia Yu can be delivered to Mingji Seafood Restaurant tomorrow morning. The six large foam boxes are also sealed quite tightly. There is basically no need for insured prices in express companies. No matter how expensive things are, if the express company loses them, they will only give very little compensation.
Xia Yu simply didn’t go to the price guarantee. If you really encounter it, just think you are unlucky!
