Sister Tang laughed when she saw Zhou Ze and Wu Yong fleeing in panic: "I didn't expect that these two normally brave young men couldn't stand this."

Aunt Liu chuckled, "Okay, stop making fun of young people. If we didn't know about this thing beforehand, we wouldn't have played with it."

Mrs. Chen prepared some snacks and brought some over. Suddenly, she saw so many giant lice on the deck that looked like spirits. She screamed, "Ah! What are these? They are so disgusting. My whole body is itchy."

Aunt Liu chuckled: "See? Here comes another one!"

"No, I can't watch it. I have to hide. I'll come over after you're done." Mrs. Chen looked shocked and turned around and ran away.

Everyone laughed again: "Another one was scared away."

Liu Meilan squatted down and sorted the items with everyone.

"Meilan, don't you feel disgusted?" Sister Tang asked.

Liu Meilan chuckled: "When I was a kid, I caught one. It was quite expensive. My family was poor at that time. I heard that the price was high. This is a cute little treasure, how can it be disgusting?"

Sister Tang smiled and said, "It seems that money still plays a big role."

Liu Meilan nodded: "Second Aunt, please clean up some of it later, remove the inedible ones, and make some for us so that everyone can try it."

"Okay, I'll do it in a moment." Aunt Liu nodded, not expecting Sister Chen to do it at all.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and it took more than an hour to sort out all the Daw's lice. Each person got two, and there were more than 20 in total. After cleaning them, they cooked them for everyone to eat.

Mrs. Chen, Wu Yong and Zhou Ze didn't dare to eat it.

Liu Meilan and others ate with relish.

"It tastes really good." Liu Meilan praised, "This thing is very rare and precious. If you feel disgusted, you can close your eyes. After you eat it, you will know that I am not lying to you."

Seeing that others were eating with relish, Sister Chen closed her eyes and tasted it, her eyes lit up: "It's great, it tastes great."

"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Liu Meilan chuckled. "Some things are like this. They look disgusting, but they taste really good."

Wu Yong and Zhou Ze also began to try it and were immediately conquered by the taste.

Even though it looks disgusting, it tastes delicious! The taste is enough to cover up its ugly appearance!

This meal left everyone wanting more.

"No wonder this thing is so expensive, it really is true that you get what you pay for." Wu Yong praised. If everyone on the boat wasn't eating it, he would never have tried it.

Zhou Ze nodded: "That's right, so the food may mislead people, but the price will not deceive people. It's really delicious."

Tang Changping chuckled and reminded: "Don't dawdle, the net is up."

This net caught golden pomfret.

Although not as good as silver pomfret and eagle pomfret, the price of golden pomfret is still reasonable.

This batch of golden pomfret is of relatively uniform size, with only two grades, and everyone sorted them very quickly.

It was already dark by now, and everyone went to rest in groups.

Despite the sound of wind and waves at sea at night, it sounded relatively quiet to Liu Meilan.

She took a bottle of soda and drank it while "communicating" with the big turtle in the sea.

Knowing that it would be better to go fishing in the north today, Liu Meilan immediately returned to the cabin to replace Tang Changping: "Uncle Tang, you go and rest. I'll take over in the first half of the night, and you can take over in the second half."

"Okay!" Tang Changping did not refuse. The captain must get enough sleep so that he can be focused enough to respond to anything that happens at sea at any time.

Liu Meilan was driving the boat and observing at the same time.

Following the sea turtle, Liu Meilan saw a school of octopus. She slightly adjusted the direction of the fishing boat and cast the fishing net towards them.

When she saw the red fish enter the net, Liu Meilan used the intercom to notify Zhou Ze to lift the net.

Zhou Ze was stunned: "Meilan, we just put down the net for an hour, can we get it up now?"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Okay! Trust me!"

As long as Liu Meilan said these three words, all the boatmen would believe her unconditionally.

Because countless experiences have told them that Liu Meilan is trustworthy.

This was indeed the case, and the bulging fishing nets were hoisted onto the deck.

Sister Tang and Sister Chen, who were dozing off, suddenly perked up: "With such a big net, it looks like the harvest should be good!"

Liu Meilan stepped forward to untie the net, and the fish in the net fell onto the deck with a crackling sound: "It's red snapper! Japanese restaurants love this the most!"

Mrs. Chen and Sister Tang quickly bled the fish, while Zhou Ze put the fish into the fish hold.

A total of six people worked in perfect harmony, but it still took two and a half hours to clean up all the red snappers.

Mrs. Chen went to the kitchen and brought back the stewed sweet soup and water chestnut cake as a midnight snack.

"Come on, everyone, eat and drink something quickly to regain your strength! I guess we'll have to start fishing again soon!"

This is a job that everyone looks forward to but also feels is hard work.

Liu Meilan drank a big bowl of sweet soup - lotus seeds, white fungus, lily and red dates soup, which was fragrant and sweet.

Paired with water chestnut cake, it tastes quite good!

"Mrs. Chen, where did you buy this water chestnut cake?" Liu Meilan asked curiously, "Buy some next time, I like it!"

Mrs. Chen smiled and replied, "I made this. I learned it from Xiaoyu's mother."

Liu Meilan nodded: "I see. I was wondering why it was so delicious. Xiaoyu used to bring it to me. Actually, there are also some sold outside, but I always feel that it is not as delicious as the one made by Xiaoyu's mother."

Mrs. Chen was quite proud: "That's because I learned a trick! From now on, as long as I can buy fresh water chestnuts, I will make them for you! Are you still hungry? If you are hungry, I will fry this red snapper!"

Sister Tang thought for a moment and said, "After eating so many sweets, I'm actually not hungry anymore! But if I don't eat some seafood, I always feel like I'm not full!"

Liu Meilan nodded quickly: "I feel the same way! Just like my sister Xiufang, if she doesn't eat a big steamed bun for a meal, she always feels hungry!"

Mrs. Chen picked up a 10-pound red snapper on the ground and said, "Okay, I'll take this fish and make you some pan-fried red snapper."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded, "Blanch some more vegetables, a combination of meat and vegetables."

Mrs. Chen went to make pan-fried octopus. After everyone took a break, Zhou Ze began to look forward to the next catch.

All the fish caught in this net are hairtails, and they are of the best quality.

When you encounter a school of fish like hairtail, there are often fewer types of seafood, and it is easier to sort them.

The hairtail can be sorted visually according to its length and width without bleeding, and can be directly placed in the basket.

Liu Meilan worked very quickly because she was very strong and was also responsible for moving these things downstairs.

Sister Tang sighed: "Our Meilan shipowner is so capable! My last owner would not do anything unless he could, and he even complained that we were working too slowly."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Meilan has never considered herself a superior shipowner. She treats us as her own family."

"So when I work on the boat, I treat it as my own job. I work as much as I can and never slack off. Because here, all the hard work and fatigue you put in will be rewarded, and I am willing to do it."

This is what Aunt Liu thought in her heart. Putting aside her previous friendship with Liu Meilan, just for this job, it was worth it for her to say so.
