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

With so many abalone, what are you waiting for? Start digging right away!

Now the back pain from digging oysters just now was gone, especially the three middle-aged people, Ye Jianguo, Ye Xiaocui, and Jiang Chunlan, who were very skillful and could pry each one out accurately.

"Xiao Cui, it's better to be near the sea than in the mountains. There are so many things here, it's like picking them up for free!"

Ye Xiaocui nodded. "There are a lot of things in the sea, but it also depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can catch a lot. If you are unlucky, you may return empty-handed."

Fu Wan also agreed, "Both farming and living by the sea are hard work, but if my uncle has nothing to do at home, we can let my cousin go out to sea with us."

Ye Lin was a little moved. People are always full of yearning for the roads they have not walked.

They had just started working as fishermen, and the novelty made them forget the seasickness they felt when they first arrived, as well as the uncertainty of whether there would be any fish when they went out to sea.

"Dad, we don't have much to do when we go back anyway, so why don't we stay at my aunt's house for a few days?"

Ye Jianguo pondered for a moment, "I definitely have to go back. How can I leave such a big family to your mother? How about you stay and help your aunt?"

Ye Lin agreed immediately, and Ye Xiaocui had no objection.

Fu Ming, Fu Wan and Fu Liang had no objection at all. Ye Lin was used to doing farm work and was full of strength.

More people means more effort!

Moreover, they know each other well, so they feel more at ease.

Just at this moment, Boss Fu came over with his tools. Fu Wan couldn't tell the emotion on her father's face, nor did she know what kind of harvest he had.

"Dad, did you catch any fish?"

Fu Ming was not afraid of death, so he shouted out loud.

Boss Fu handed the bucket in his hand to them and saw a conger eel weighing about two or three pounds in the bucket, with two smaller sea bass next to it.

"Sure, Dad. Did you catch all the conger eels?"

Boss Fu was originally a little embarrassed that he only had one decent fish, but now he felt comfortable with Fu Ming's flattery and there was a bit of complacency on his face.

"This conger eel has more meat and less bones. I'll take it back and cook it for everyone to taste!"

Ye Xiaocui glanced at the conger eel. Although she felt a little painful, she did not refuse.

It’s just a conger eel. It’s rare for my eldest brother to come here, so it costs money to buy meat, right?

"Dad, hurry up and dig up the abalone! There are too many!"

Fu Wan felt like she was just a ruthless abalone digger, her hands were so tired that they became mechanical.

Only then did Boss Fu notice the protruding abalone in front of them. He put the bucket in front of Fu Ling who was squatting next to him and playing with him, and immediately joined the team to pry the abalone.

"These abalones are all in good condition. I wonder how much Fu San would charge per pound?"

Jiang Chunlan was working and chatting with Ye Xiaocui at the same time. Fu Wan saw half a bag of abalone next to her, picked up one and looked at it for a long time.

"Awan, what are you looking at?"

Fu Liang was a little puzzled. What was so good about this abalone?

"I was wondering, since this abalone is so big, will there be abalone pearls inside?"

She suddenly remembered that she had seen news somewhere that someone had dug out abalone pearls from abalone. She also remembered that the abalone pearl in the news was very beautiful and a rare blue color.

"What? There are pearls in abalone?"

Fu Ming was stunned. Fu Wan nodded and explained to the people in front of her who were looking at her family with questioning expressions.

"Abalone, like oysters, are shellfish. The principle of pearl formation is that sand or small stones enter the shell. The abalone or oyster feels the stimulation of the sand and stones, and instinctively secretes substances to coat the sand and stones. Over time, pearls are formed."

Fu Ming felt a little pain when he heard it. "That's just like Uncle Fu's kidney stones. Last time, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even walk."

"It's true to say it this way. Pearls are just stones grown from shells!"

Everyone sighed, "It's not easy for oysters to grow pearls!"

However, this did not stop everyone from being full of anticipation for these abalones. Ye Lin was eager to try, "Awan, can these oysters be eaten raw? I'll open one. If not, I'll eat it myself!"

Ye Jianguo slapped Ye Lin directly, "This abalone could be worth a lot of money, and you ate it yourself. Do you have any shame?"

Fu Wan quickly stopped him, "Uncle, there are so many abalones, how much can cousin eat?"

"You can eat this abalone raw, but if your stomach can't handle it, you'll probably end up with vomiting and diarrhea at most."

Although Fu Wan spoke seriously, she politely declined the offer of raw abalone.

"Didn't I bring a steel pot? It's almost noon, I'll go boil some water and throw a few abalone in to make it more fresh!"

Jiang Chunlan asked Fu Liang to go to the boat to get a steel pot and fresh water. They also brought a lot of noodles when they came out today, which would be just enough to fill their stomachs later.

With a pot, there is no need to eat raw food. Ye Lin picked up an abalone and was about to open it. Fu Ming did not pry the abalone open, but also picked up the one in his hand, ready to see if there was the abalone pearl that Fu Wan mentioned.

Fu Ling was tired from playing at this moment, and found it amusing to see his two uncles digging out the abalone meat.

She imitated Fu Wan, picked up a stone from the ground, aimed it at a big abalone and started chiseling it.

The little guy was quite strong and got the abalone off in just a few moves.

"Mom, here's yours!"

Fu Wan took the abalone. The shell was not damaged and the meat was intact inside the shell. The abalone was very fresh and the meat was still moving.

"Thank you, Lingling. Mom will wash it and cook noodles for you later."

This abalone has some mud and sand in it. Wash it and blanch it in boiling water for a few seconds. It will be very delicious.

"Hey, there's nothing in this abalone of mine!"

Ye Lin had already cut open the abalone in his hand, and there was nothing inside except abalone meat.

"Same thing with me."

Fu Ming put the abalone meat in his hand aside and said, "Forget it, it's not easy to get such a good thing. Let's just pry the abalone honestly!"

Fu Liang quickly brought the steel pot from the boat. Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui picked up some hay and dead branches from the side, and found two large stones to use as a stove. Finally, they put the steel pot filled with fresh water on top and started to take out matches to light it.

Matches are also called Yanghuo, and a box costs only one cent. Fu Wan took two boxes with her when she went out, wrapped them in oil paper and put them on the boat.

The dead branches on the island were very dry, and the water in the steel pot soon boiled. Fu Wan took a few abalone, washed them in the nearby trench, then pried out the meat and threw it into the pot.

Fu Ling saw that she had forgotten about the abalone she had picked up and ran over.

"Mom, my abalone! Put it in!"

"Sorry, Mom forgot."

Fu Wan took the abalone without any guilt, cut it open with a knife and prepared to wash it.

As a result, the knife touched a hard object through the abalone meat the next second.

Restraining her excitement, Fu Wan picked out the abalone meat with her hands. A blue bead formed an integral part of the abalone shell, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Awan, this, this, this, is this an abalone bead?!"
