Just ten minutes after the fishing boat left, Zhou Xingwang called.

Seeing that there was still a signal, Liu Meilan quickly picked up the phone and said, "Boss Zhou, I'm out to sea now, and there won't be any signal in a while. Let's make it short and concise."

Zhou Xingwang said quickly: "Meilan, someone in the restaurant is celebrating a birthday and wants some moonfish. It would be great if you could catch it, but the price is very high. In addition, I also need some humphead wrasse."

Liu Meilan smiled and asked, "Any other requests?"

Zhou Xingwang thought for a moment, then said, "I want the grouper, too! I want this!"

Liu Meilan smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll take note and try to catch as many as possible for you. When we get back, I'll ask Xiaoyu to give you a list and leave the ones you want for you."

"Thank you, Meilan." Zhou Xingwang said with a smile, "I wish you a fruitful return."

"Thank you!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "No signal. Goodbye."

Before he could finish his words, the phone lost signal.

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and came over to ask, "Meilan, do you know who's going to have a birthday party?"

"I don't know!" Liu Meilan shook her head and asked, "Sister Chen, do you know?"

Mrs. Chen replied, "I know. I happened to run into Zhou Xingwang's mother yesterday and found out from chatting that she was a wealthy man who had left our island."

"A wealthy man?" Liu Meilan was stunned for a moment. "I've heard of him!"

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't know. To be honest, it was 30 years ago. Chen Dafu was also a young man at that time, and he was quite handsome.

"But his family was poor and his parents died early. He went to the city to deliver goods and was favored by a girl from the city! But the girl only had one daughter and originally wanted to find someone with a job in the city.

"But Chen Dafu is a lone commander with only a few shabby houses! The woman's side requires that if they want her to agree to the marriage, she must marry into the family!"

Liu Meilan slapped her head and said, "I know who it is! Aunt Yu told me before! Why is he holding a birthday party on the island? Shouldn't he hold it in the city?"

Mrs. Chen replied: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, and this man took over his mother-in-law's job and went to work in a factory. Later, with the reform and opening up, various restructurings took place, and Chen Dafu took over the factory, which was a garment factory, and is now very big!

"He asked his wife to change the surnames of the three children in the family, thinking that he could no longer marry into the family since he was rich now! The children should also have the surname Chen."

Liu Meilan was stunned for a moment and asked, "The woman doesn't agree, right?"

Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "What if you don't agree? Chen Dafu said that if you don't agree, he will find someone else to have a child, and the child will take his surname.

"He came to the island specifically to celebrate his birthday and entertain the people on the island. His purpose was to show off and tell everyone that he, Chen Dafu, had endured humiliation for 30 years and now he has finally returned home in glory!"

Liu Meilan touched her nose and said, "Isn't it a bit unkind of him to do this?"

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed very unkind, but there is no one left in the woman's family. Chen Dafu is good at making money and has such a big factory. His children all want to get more money from their father and are not opposed to changing their surnames.

"Besides, for them, it doesn't matter whether they have their mother's last name or their father's last name! After all, in their eyes, money is the most important thing. As for my mother and my deceased grandparents, they may no longer be valuable!

"I have two daughters, and I originally wanted to keep one of them as my son-in-law. But when I saw this situation, I felt that it was meaningless. If the son-in-law had a conscience, he might be grateful for the help of his wife's family. If he met a conscienceless one, not only would he not be grateful, but he would also resent him in his heart!

"My daughter will have a hard time and become a troublemaker. The new society is developing, but sometimes reality still stays in the past. There are some things now that cannot be forced. If you take it too seriously, you will easily get stuck in a dead end."

Liu Meilan comforted her, "Sister Chen, maybe when Shuyuan grows up, things will be different."

"Who knows?" Mrs. Chen said with emotion, "Meilan, let's sell our seafood at a higher price and earn more money from Chen Dafu."

Liu Meilan nodded and said, "If it was just an ordinary fish, it would be fine. But since he took the initiative to ask for a big moonfish, the price will definitely be very high. If he wants to show off, let him show off as much as he wants."

"Hahaha, yes!" Mrs. Chen was happy.

After two hours of sailing, trawling began.

This time, we towed the fish in the direction provided by Liu Meilan and raised the net an hour later.

Liu Meilan was amazed by the harvest from this network.

Who would have thought that she could still catch big yellow croakers now? Liu Meilan kept the big ones and threw all the small ones back into the sea.

I hope these little fish can continue to grow in the sea.

In this net, in addition to one third of large yellow croaker, there is also one third of grouper.

We have caught a lot of sesame spots in the past, but none as big as this one.

The price of the sesame spots is also very good, especially for those with such good appearance and such a large size.

Just as Tang Changping was about to go online, Liu Meilan reminded him: "Uncle Tang, based on my experience, the shrimps will soon be there!"

After hearing this, Tang Changping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll change the network."

About 20 minutes after the net was lowered, Liu Meilan shouted, "Uncle Tang, we can raise the net now!"

The time interval was very short and everyone was very confused, but when they heard that it was Liu Meilan who said it, everyone just did as she said.

The captain of the ship is very capable and has absolute say on the ship.

For the boatmen, whoever can lead everyone to catch more fish is the boss of the boat.

Everyone was surprised when the fishing net emerged from the water.

The net was able to burst in such a short time, and based on their experience, there should be shrimps inside.

The fishing net was lowered until it was very close to the cleat, and then it was untied.

It turned out to be a dog shrimp.

Dog shrimp, also known as nine shrimp or Heinz imitation prawn. (Picture)

When the dog shrimp is just out of the water, the body will turn gray and shiny, and the color will remain bright. However, after the shrimp is out of the water, the body will turn white and the color will not be bright enough.

The name of the Nine Shrimp comes from its hard and tight shell, which has alternating light yellow and brown patterns on it. It has exactly nine segments from head to tail, so it is also called the Nine Shrimp.

It is huge, about the size of a thumb, and the shrimp head is filled with fresh, tender, and fragrant high-fat content.

The paste after blanching is fragrant and the shrimp meat is sweet and refreshing.

However, this kind of shrimp is very hard to eat because of its hard shell. But it is affordable and has a lot of meat, so many people like to eat it.

The nine shrimps in this net were very large, with an average length of 60 centimeters, and some were even over 70 centimeters long.

Liu Meilan has read relevant information and found that the longest shrimp can reach 95 cm, which is a relatively large shrimp.

This is quite a network!

Liu Meilan was a little hungry, so she urged Chen Saozi who was working: "Chen Saozi, the work can't be done in one go, pick out some big, good dog shrimps to eat!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen brought over the bucket and said, "Okay, there are some broken ones over there that are not in good condition. I'll take them and sort them out to cook for everyone."
