Fu Lao Da, Ye Xiao Cui and Jiang Chun Lan also knew how hard the three children worked, so they all stood on the deck at the stern and took the net ropes from their hands.

Then pull the net bag onto the boat and take out the geoducks one by one.

Fu Wan and the other two swam back and forth three times and finally managed to move all the geoducks piled on the seabed onto the boat.

The three of them no longer cared about their image at this time. They were so tired that they collapsed on the deck, gasping for breath while looking at the stars in the sky.

But they are exhausted!

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan quickly took the boiled water that had been prepared early in the morning from the cabin and poured a bowl for each of them.

The three men were so tired that they fell on the deck and rested for a long time before sitting up to drink water.

"Why is it so sweet, Mom? Did you add sugar again?"

Fu Wan took a gulp of the water in the bowl, and the sweetness flowed through her mouth. Only then did she realize that sugar was actually added to the water.

Ye Xiaocui gave her a reproachful look and said, "I added some sugar because I saw you were tired."

Jiang Chunlan didn't expect this. The water in the pot was boiled by her family during the day.

"Then I'll remember to add sugar for you next time."

Fu Ming and Fu Liang didn't like drinking sugary drinks, so they just poured the boiled water in the bowl down their throats in one gulp.

"No, no, we can just drink this."

Fu Wan also felt that sugar water was not as thirst-quenching as boiled water, so she poured herself another half bowl of boiled water to suppress the sweetness in her mouth.

"Mom, don't give me sugar water next time. I'm not a child."

Ye Xiaocui was busy putting the geoduck in her hand into the fish basket. Now whatever she said was the final word.

"Okay, okay, that saves me some sugar."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Boss Fu took a look at the silk threads that were pulled straight.

"We're almost done longlining, let's reel it in!"

This is also a physical job, because the silk threads released are numerous and thin, and if you don't wear gloves, you can cut your hands.

But this is also similar to opening blind boxes in modern times. Everyone is looking forward to what is on the longline fishing hook.

Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui both put on gloves and started to reel in the longline fishing. On the other side, Fu Ming, Fu Liang and Jiang Chunlan were also wearing gloves and reeling in the lines.

The gloves for Fu Lao Da's family were all sewn by Ye Xiaocui using solid scraps of cloth following Fu Wan's advice. Although they were not as good as the workers' gloves of later generations, they could reduce the sharpness of the silk threads.

Fu Liang and Jiang Chunlan learned how to wear gloves from Ye Xiaocui, so although the gloves of these people looked a bit strange, no one paid attention to it.

This time, the baits used by both sides were the traditional baits from the village and a small amount of small octopus pieces.

Fish bait is made from fish paste mixed with small fish and shrimps. Some people are reluctant to use it and just use sandworms, earthworms, etc.

Boss Fu also got inspiration from Fu Wan's last octopus bait, and even went to the dock to buy a few cents of sardines, which he cut up and used as bait.

Of course, the effect is also obvious.

"I caught a yellowtail snapper!"

The first fish Fu Liang pulled up was a palm-sized yellow snapper.

It’s a pity that it was probably less than half a pound and was just a small sea bream.

Fu Liang untied the small sea bream, which was still alive and kicking.

"Go home and ask your parents to come!"

Jiang Chunlan was amused by her son's words, and the silk thread in her hand suddenly broke straight.

"This fish is really strong, Ah Ming, come and help Auntie pull it out!"

Jiang Chunlan was not good at fishing, and Fu Ming was sitting on the other side of her at this time, so she immediately asked for help.

When Fu Ming saw the straight silk thread in Jiang Chunlan's hand, he quickly took it.

If I had known this earlier, I would have known what the fish’s strength meant. It meant that the fish was also big!

While carefully walking the fish in his hand, he proudly went to see what was happening over there with Boss Fu.

Fu Wan entered the cabin and took a look at Fu Ling's condition. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she left and joined Boss Fu's team to collect the calls.

Boss Fu's harvest was actually pretty good. He caught two sea bream weighing more than one kilogram and a tiger grouper weighing two kilograms.

There were also some air forces whose baits were eaten until only the fish hooks were left, but the few fish in the bucket were worth the bait.

Fu Wan went to look at Fu Ming again. The fish was obviously a little tired. Others could not see the situation on the seabed clearly, but Fu Wan saw the true form of the fish at a glance.

That's a little manta ray!

No, it's a ray!

Many people cannot distinguish between manta rays and skates. After all, they look somewhat similar, and the cephalic fins on both sides are like wings.

But there is also a big difference between manta rays and skates. In terms of size, the largest manta ray is eight meters long, while the longest skate is only more than two meters long.

Rays have tail and dorsal fins on their backs, but manta rays do not.

But they have one thing in common, that is, the tail spines of manta rays are highly toxic, and the tail spines of some rays also contain toxins.

"Brother, be careful, it's a ray!"

When Fu Liang heard Fu Wan's shout, he quickly picked up a big hook from the side.

When Fu Ming saw the stingray in front of him, which was somewhat similar to a manta ray, his calf ached slightly.

Fu Liang's fishing skills were pretty good. He used his big hook to hook the still struggling stingray. Jiang Chunlan quickly stepped aside and ran into the cabin to get a kitchen knife.

When the stingray was hooked onto the deck, she took a kitchen knife, chopped off the stingray's tail spine, and threw it into the sea.

"This ray is quite good, it must weigh at least five or six kilograms!"

Fu Ming and Fu Liang quickly threw the stingray into the cargo hold, and then began to collect other silk lines.

With this ray in front, the one or two kilograms of sea bream we received later was not a big surprise.

As the night deepened, everyone quickened their pace and reeled in the longlines they had cast out.

Finally, Fu Wan took a look at the harvest. There were mostly snappers and parrotfish, and there were also a few groupers, all of which were tiger groupers and red melon seed groupers. There were no rare fish like mouse groupers and eastern star groupers.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan packed up the silk threads. At this time, the two boats had docked together. Fu Wan was also helping to pack up on the deck. Their octopus trap barrel had not been thrown down yet.

Fu Wan was just about to discuss this matter with Boss Fu when she suddenly heard the sound of a big fish falling into the water.

Fu Wan looked up, but was surprised by the scene before her.

There was a group of dolphins chasing and playing on the sea in front of them. What was different from the dolphins Fu Wan had seen in her previous life was that most of these dolphins were a rare pink color!

Because it was late at night, I could only barely see that it was pink when I shone the flashlight over there. At first glance, I thought it was just white.

This is a Chinese white dolphin!

In modern times, the Chinese white dolphin has long been known as the "giant panda of the water". Due to its rarity, it was listed as an endangered species in 2008.

In her previous life, Fu Wan had only seen Chinese white dolphins in the news. She never expected to see such a lively group of white dolphins on the sea on this ordinary night.

This is a national first-class protected animal. Fu Wan even breathed lightly for fear of disturbing the group of white dolphins.
