"Awan, do you want to move some of the fish from the cold storage so the fresh fish boat can take them back?"

Fu Haishun looked at Fu Wan, who thought for a moment and shook her head, "Let's talk about it later. I'm worried the fresh food boat won't be able to hold all the food."

"Oh, look at me, I forgot about that!"

Fu Haishun shook his head. He also wanted to take out more fish from the Chengfengpolang so that there would be enough space to store the fish when they came up.

But he overlooked the fact that the seafood collection ship was actually about the same size as the Yangfanqihang.

If you really compare them, the fresh-collecting ship is not even as long as the fully loaded return, and it is far behind the sailing ship.

"Oh, it would be better if the fresh-catch boat was bigger."

"Yes," Fu Wan agreed. "Once the fresh food boat business stabilizes this year, I'll discuss adding another boat with Uncle San."

"So, do you still buy a second-hand boat?"

The one who asked this question was Ye Lin, he was also curious. Fu Wan shook her head, unable to make up her mind for the time being.

"It depends on the situation. If we add another ship, it must be a bigger one. I plan to use the current freshwater boat to collect fish near the coast, and the bigger one to collect fish in the distant sea.

Of course, if there is a suitable second-hand large ship, I would not mind."

Anyway, it is only used to transport fish and there is no need for trawling or anything, so there is no need to buy a new boat.

But compared with new ships, the cost of renovating cold storage and cranes on second-hand ships is also quite high. However, we will have to wait until the annual profit of the fresh ship is released next year to see the specific situation. For now, we will continue to use this ship.

It was fine, and they had been dragging the net for about four hours. Fu Wan turned to Fu Ming and asked, "Brother, when you were starting the boat just now, how was the pulling force of the trawling net? Can you start the trawling net now?"

Fu Ming hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and replied, "That's about right. Since everyone's fine now, why don't we just pull up the nets? This way, the boat won't have to wait while the seafood in the nets waits. It would be too damaged if we wait."

Fu Wan meant the same thing. She raised her hand and looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. She had eaten a lot in the morning, so she was not hungry at the moment.

But it will take a long time to pull up the nets and sort out the fish. If it takes too long, I guess everyone will be starving after picking the fish.

"Well, you guys pull up the nets, and I'll go cook some rice in the rice cooker. Once we've finished picking the fish, it'll be time for lunch."

"Okay, then go ahead!"

Fu Ming and his companions agreed without hesitation. Fu Wan turned around and went up to the second floor of the Chengfengpolang. This was the first meal they had since going out to sea. There were eleven people on the boat, plus four people on the fresh food collection boat. The amount of rice needed was too much for an ordinary rice cooker to cook.

But there was an unusual rice cooker on the ship. Years ago, Sun Youjin gave Fu Wan a particularly large rice cooker, which was said to have been brought back from Gangcheng. For this, Fu Wan specially gave him two grouper fish in return.

Friends are friends, but you can’t let others suffer losses.

Washing and cooking rice is very quick. Fu Wan finished washing the rice in no time. Considering that she would have less time to cook when she had to pick the fish later, she ran to get the bacon that Li Chunhua had brought, cut a large plate of it and steamed it on the rice.

In this way, the bacon will be cooked when the rice is cooked. Not only that, the aroma of the rice mixed with the aroma of the bacon will also make it taste better.

In fact, if you cut the bacon and put it on the rice and steam it together when the rice is almost cooked, the oil from the bacon will be absorbed into the rice, making the rice more fragrant.

But Fu Wan didn't have time to watch the rice until it was cooked, so she could only steam it like this.

After putting the bacon on the compartment of the rice cooker, there was still some space in the compartment. Seeing this, Fu Wan took out a medium-sized soup bowl, beat a few eggs into it, and prepared to add an egg custard.

In the time it takes to cook one meal, two more meals were prepared. Fu Wan couldn't help but feel proud. She was smart and could think of a way to kill two birds with one stone.

After finishing all this, when Fu Wan returned to the deck, the net bag had already been opened.

The ones who untied the rope were Fu Qing and Fang Min, who had just returned from a rest. Although they were both women, they were quite strong. When Fu Wan came over, she happened to see them untying the rope.

Clean and neat, without any drag.

The rope was pulled open in a few seconds, and the fish in the net fell out like a torrential rain.

The fish in this net are mixed, but not as mixed as those on the net. Most of them are eels and tofu fish, and there are also quite a few black throat fish.

"Wow, look at this eel! It's so long! It's almost as tall as me!"

Fu Ming was holding an eel and pointing it at himself. Seeing this, Ye Lin couldn't help but frown and warned: "Be careful, the eel might bite you."

This guy was very brave. He directly lifted the eel's mouth. The sharp teeth were clearly visible to Ye Lin even though he was two meters away.

"Tsk, am I afraid of eels? Not to mention eels, even leopard eels in the sea would behave themselves in front of me.

Besides, this eel has been dead for a long time. Hehe, if it wants to bite me, it will have to come back to life!"

Ye Lin was speechless after hearing this, and Fu Wan smiled and shook her head.

"Brother Alin, there's no need for you to remind him."

Her brother has been like this since he was a child, and he became obedient after suffering a loss.

Fu Ming curled his lips when he heard this, and the big eel in his hand was no longer fun to hold. Just then, Jack and the other two came over. Fu Ming turned his eyes and picked up the fish again, ready to go forward.

The next second, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.

"Oh my god, the eel is really dead!"

Fu Ming threw the eel away as if he had been electrocuted, and Fu Wan put away her smile upon seeing this.

"Did you really bite it? Are you okay?"

Fu Ming had no time to reply, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the painful spot. This sight made him feel relieved, and he laughed out of anger.

A crab as big as an egg was trying to pinch Fu Ming's hand through his glove with its small pincers. That was not all, there were two finger-sized needlefish next to the crab, and the needles on their mouths just happened to stick straight into his glove.

This luck is also amazing.

"Hahahaha, brother, did you forget to check the almanac today? Why are you so unlucky?"

Fu Wan naturally witnessed this scene. People say that when you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth. Fu Ming's situation is similar at this moment.

"Don't mention it. Where did the almanac come from on the ship? I have no place to look it up even if I wanted to!"

Fu Ming was very depressed and took off his gloves reluctantly.

Fu Wan was worried, so she leaned over to take a look. Fortunately, the crab's bite was not very fierce. After all, it was an underage crab, and she was wearing gloves, so her palms only turned a little red after using all her strength.

However, the needle of the small needlefish was quite sharp and pierced into the flesh. As soon as Fu Ming pulled it out, blood immediately gushed out.

Fu Wan couldn't help but frowned, "It's bleeding, I need to get some iodine to disinfect it."

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, no big deal, why waste the iodine!"

Fu Ming shook his head and refused without any concern.

What a joke! A grown man has to apply medicine for a wound the size of a sesame seed. If this gets out, the men in the village will definitely laugh at him.
