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

"Chop fish balls?"

Ye Lin was puzzled. To be honest, he had eaten radish meatballs and lotus root meatballs, but he had never tried fish balls.

Even those meatballs, Li Chunhua would only be willing to make them during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, who would be willing to make such oil-consuming things on other days!

"Yes, minced fish balls. Croaker doesn't have bones, so you can take it home, pick out the meat, and mince it into a paste. Then blend it well. When the water boils, use a spoon to scoop it into balls, put them in the boiling water and cook until they float. The fish balls are so fresh, fragrant and chewy that you'll definitely want more!"

Fu Wan spoke so specifically that Ye Lin couldn't help swallowing several times as he listened.

Oh my god, it sounds like it tastes even better than the meatballs fried during Chinese New Year!

"Awan, I want to eat too!"

Fu Qing also swallowed her saliva after hearing this. Although she was still picking out the fish, her eyes were clearly on Fu Wan.

To be precise, he was looking at the fish in Fu Wan's hand.

Wang Xiuer is a good cook. Making fish balls takes time but doesn't require a lot of oil. Last winter, there were too many pike, so she made fish balls for Fu Qing and Fang Min.

In Fu Qing's impression, pike fish balls were already delicious, but after hearing Fu Wan's description, she felt that croaker fish balls must be a million times more delicious than pike ones.

Fu Wan smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, you all take a few back later so everyone can try them!"

Fu Qing grinned after hearing this, "Awan is the best. I'll give you the fish belly. I only want the fish meat."

Fu Ming listened and shook his head. He was just about to say that Fu Qing had become smart and knew to ask for fish to eat.

But when she turned around, she found that she didn't want the fish's belly, the most valuable part of the fish.

Tsk, it seems he is still a fool!

"Ah Qing, why don't you want the fish bladder? Fish bladder is the most valuable!"

Fu Ming teased her on purpose, but Fu Qing looked at him as if he were a fool.

"I know fish bladders are valuable, but they have to be left for Awan to sell.

I just want some fish. When Awan makes some money, she can buy diesel and a big boat, and take me fishing for the rest of my life!"

These words left Fu Ming speechless, and Boss Fu laughed out loud with joy.

"Ah Qing, you are a very smart person!"

"Haha, I think I'm smart too. My mom says I'm smart too!"

Fu Qing was in high spirits, and Fu Haishun and the others also started laughing when they saw him.

In the past, they thought that Fu Wan brought Fu Qing on board simply out of pity for her. But after spending more than half a year together, they discovered that this girl also had her own shining points and was very efficient at her work.

And most of the time, Fu Qing is not stupid at all, and what he says is more sophisticated than that of normal scholars.

Tsk tsk, no wonder Awan likes this girl!

The croakers were fairly evenly sized, though there were some quite small ones, around 30 centimeters, but they weren't many, so they only filled three baskets.

There were more big ones, about 70 to 80 centimeters long, almost 30 of them, which couldn’t fit in the fish basket. Boss Fu piled them directly on the fish basket full of fish.

After sorting it out, I found that the fish in the net were all croaker, without a single miscellaneous fish.

After Fu Haishun and Fu Mancang and a few others cleaned the deck, the boat was gradually approaching Coconut Island.

It was already dark at this time, and there was no other sound on Coconut Island except the chirping of insects and birds.

The reason why the Riding the Wind and Waves headed this way was because Fu Wan was still thinking about the trap placed here.

Although she told Fu Shi and the others to come and collect the traps before going out to sea, there was no contact during that time, and she didn't know whether the traps were collected after being put out for a few days.

As soon as the Chengfengpolang approached the ground trap, Fu Ming took the hook and started to hook the float on the sea.

Robert and the other two followed suit and pulled up the octopus trap.

"Oh God, I've got something here!"

Robert was the first to exclaim. He pulled the fastest. Fifteen bamboo tubes were tied to a rope, and he pulled them onto the deck in just a few seconds.

Jack had been waiting with an iron hook. As soon as the bamboo tube was pulled up, he skillfully inserted the iron hook into the bamboo tube, hooked out the octopus inside and poured it into the bucket. From the fifteen bamboo tubes, he poured out more than twenty octopuses.

There are both long-legged and short-legged ones, and they are about 200 to 300 grams in size, which is considered big.

"Haha, I also gained something from this!"

Fu Ming lifted the trap onto the deck and felt the heaviness of the trap in his hand, and he was very excited.

The joy of harvest was so overwhelming. There were five or six seven-star eels weighing more than one kilogram, a tiger grouper, and two blue crabs in the trap. It was a pity that one of the eels was crushed to a bloody mess by the blue crab and was dying.

"It's a good thing we came here today, otherwise the seafood in the trap would have gone bad."

Fu Ming couldn't help but sigh, and Fu Wan felt the same way.

"That's true, but they must have been here a few times, otherwise the traps wouldn't be filled with fresh fish."

Whether it is a ground trap or an octopus trap, there are only a few dead things in it. If it is not collected for a few days, it will become smelly and unbearable to look at.

According to the villagers' habit, they usually come to collect the traps in the morning, so the harvest they are bringing up now should be the harvest of the day.

All the ground traps, crab cages and bamboo tube traps were pulled up, and three buckets of octopus, five baskets of crabs, and two large baskets of miscellaneous fish were harvested.

This harvest can be said to be very good.

"Awan, do you still need to put the trap down?"

Fu Ming turned to ask Fu Wan, he was a little undecided, this location was really good, they had harvested so much in just one day.

But if you go out to sea specifically to collect traps, this place is quite far from the pier.

Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask Dad."

She definitely won't have time in a few days. If Boss Fu wants to set up traps, placing them near Coconut Island is definitely the best choice.

Because there are other people living near the village, if we go over to grab the land, we will not only gain nothing, but it will also definitely hurt the relationship in the end.

Boss Fu thought for a moment and shook his head to refuse, and asked Fu Wan to tell everyone to pack up the traps and take them back to dry in the sun.

He was used to seeing seafood caught in nets, so he looked down on things like ground traps.

Going out to sea specifically to collect this would be a waste of diesel for him; he might as well be trawling instead.

After collecting these, the Riding the Wind and Waves headed towards the dock again.

Seeing that it would take at least another hour or two, Fu Ming simply called Ye Lin and his group to go into the kitchen and stew the remaining vegetables, potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli, and the miscellaneous fish that had just been caught in the trap.

Although it is a hodgepodge stew, the taste is very good.

Everyone ate their fill, and after clearing away the pots and pans, they could see the lights of the dock.

Every time Boss Fu returned to the dock, he felt like he had returned from a victorious battle. He couldn't help but excitedly blow the horn on the boat. The long and heavy sound of the whistle made people on the dock look towards the sea.
