Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"Awan, you have to climb up to pick the ones that are high up!"

Fu Wan stopped what she was doing when she saw two snakeskin bags filled to the brim on the ground.

"Dad, it's almost time, let's go back!"

With these two snakeskin bags of bird's nests, it would be hard enough just to pick out the bird's feathers when I take them back.

Besides, as the old saying goes, if you have green mountains, you won't be short of firewood. Once they find a buyer for the bird's nest, once or twice a year, it will be enough for them to make a small fortune.

Although Boss Fu was not a greedy person, he felt a little sorry when he saw the densely packed bird's nests on it.

"No one should find out here, right?"

Fu Wan didn't know that this sea area was the border between Longhai City and the neighboring province and city, and few people would go here.

If a conflict arises between the two parties and a fight breaks out, it is most likely to cause an accident at sea.

However, Fu Wan and the others were on the same side and were still within the sea area of Longhai City, so they were also right.

"Dad, even if someone else discovered it, that would be their chance. We're lucky to have collected so much."

Boss Fu thought about it and decided to go out after picking up the two snakeskin bags.

Although these two snakeskin bags were filled to the brim, they actually didn't weigh much.

Fu Wan packed up her tools and followed behind with the bucket.

It took less time to go back than to come. Even though Boss Fu gave him two snakeskin bags of bird's nests, he still walked fast and steadily with the wind on his feet.

This makes people feel refreshed when something good happens.

I had thought that today's trip would be fruitless, but who would have thought that I would encounter such a good thing.

Seeing that the sun was about to reach the top of my head, I estimated that it was almost noon.

Fu Wan and Fu Lao Da only then felt their stomachs growling with hunger. As soon as they got on the boat, they quickly put down the things in their hands and took out the dry food prepared by Ye Xiaocui and started to eat it.

After barely filling his stomach, Boss Fu prepared to sail to the deserted island they often visited before.

The octopus trap they dropped the day before yesterday is still there, and Boss Fu also set up a few ground traps, which he didn't retrieve last time.

Fu Wan had no objection, she was also curious whether there would be any gains in those traps later.

You have to know that there is no fish on their boat at the moment, only a few pounds of conchs that they had prepared to hand over to Xue Qing.

I guess after what happened this time, Xue Qing didn't have the energy to ask them for fish.

Of course, they didn't expect Xue Qing to give them a few dozen yuan as a reward.

It would be best for a plague god like that to leave Fujia Village as soon as possible, the farther the better.

As usual, Boss Fu was at the helm, and Fu Wan sat at the stern. She had originally thought of casting a hand net to see what was going on, but when she pulled it out, she saw a silver glint on the sea surface a dozen meters away.

She had seen the sea water shimmering under the sunlight, but that silver light was obviously not sunlight.

That's a school of fish!

"Dad, drive that way!"

Fu Wan quickly put down the largest trawl net, and then asked Boss Fu to drive the boat over there.

That direction was inconsistent with that of the deserted island. Although Boss Fu was a little confused, he still changed direction.

However, when he saw the silver light rolling on the sea, his breathing immediately became rapid.

"It's a school of cutlassfish, it's a school of cutlassfish!"

Cutlassfish is a common fish in the sea. It is called cutlassfish because its body is elongated and resembles a ribbon.

Hairtail is widely distributed, with the largest number found in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, and can be found in all coastal provinces of China.

Cutlassfish have the habit of gathering in groups, so if you don't touch them, it's fine, but if you touch them, they will gather in a large group.

I’m so lucky today!

Fu San said a while ago that the price of hairtail has increased recently, to 65 cents per pound, but now he has been caught up in the hairtail school by them.

When Boss Fu saw Fu Wan throw the trawl net, he quickly drove the boat over, wishing that the capacity of the trawl net was unlimited so that he could catch all the cutlassfish there in one fell swoop.

But a wish is just a wish after all. When the boat passes by, you can clearly feel the weight of the trawl.

He turned off the boat and quickly walked to the back to help Fu Wan pull the net.

Before he came, Fu Wan threw two more hand-cast nets to the side, and the other end of the nets were tied directly to the railing of the boat.

Once the net is thrown out, it needs to be pulled in. Fortunately, Boss Fu asked Fu San to get a second-hand trawl machine from the county yesterday, and it was installed overnight last night.

Otherwise, the father and daughter would have to pull the net, and now it’s unclear whether they are pulling the fish or the fish are pulling them.

It is convenient to have a net-lifting machine. Although it is a second-hand one, after a few creaking sounds, the full fishing net floats to the surface.

Fu Wan and Boss Fu quickly took down the fishing net and threw out another trawl net. Then the two of them began to retrieve it with hand-thrown nets.

There was a hemp rope tied to the back of the hand-thrown net. Fu Wan tied the hemp rope to the net-lifting machine and then began to collect the net.

As the three fishing nets were all heavy with fish, the last trawl was obviously not as heavy as the previous one, and there was no trace of hairtail on the sea.

Only seabirds would swoop down from time to time, pick up small fish from the sea surface and then fly away immediately.

Because the weather was too hot, Boss Fu and Fu Wan quickly poured all the fish in the fishing net into the fish basket, preparing to sort them when they returned later.

After all, they only have two pairs of hands, and they are so busy that they can hardly lift their hands.

It’s all Xue Qing’s fault. He said that only two people can go out to sea. If Fu Ming and Fu Liang had come together today, they would have been able to sort the fish by now.

Boss Fu and Fu Wan simply classified the fish, then went ahead and sailed to the deserted island.

After collecting the octopus traps and ground cages near the deserted island, they went home!

Perhaps because he was eager to go home, Boss Fu was sailing the boat much faster than usual.

After driving for more than half an hour, Fu Wan was still cleaning the small fish from the fishing net to feed the seabirds, when their boat arrived at the edge of the deserted island.

Fu Wan and Fu Lao Da got off the boat, one carrying a bucket to collect the octopus traps, while the other went to collect the ground traps in the seaweed nearby.

Fu Wan carried the bucket and searched for a while before she found the foam mark she had made.

Perhaps because of the waves, the foam carried the bamboo tube dozens of meters away.

Fu Wan used a harpoon to pull the foam to her side, and then began to pull the rope tied to the bamboo tube towards her.

This trap really works. There are one or two octopuses curled up in each can-like bamboo tube, and some of them are even bigger than fists, which are very large.

Fu Wan was also gaining experience. Every time she would use a stick tied to a small fish hook to stir the jar, and then take the octopus out.

When you take it out, you have to point the mouth into the bucket, otherwise you will be sprayed with ink.

After all the bamboo tubes were emptied, Fu Wan moved them to another place and threw them out again.

These are all good stuff, you can get them every day.

Let go of any octopuses that are too small and take the larger ones away.

When Fu Wan was almost done, she saw Boss Fu walking towards her happily with a bucket in his hand.
