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

Fu Wan took the giant clam in her hand to the trench nearby to wash it clean. When the mud and sand on the surface of the shell faded away, a perfect giant clam shell appeared in front of them.

“What a beautiful shell!”

Fu Ming and the others couldn't help but sigh, isn't it beautiful? The white shell, the edges of which are blood red and white, the texture is clearly visible, and under the sunlight, there is a faint luster.

Fortunately, this was just a giant clam shell that had been dead for who knows how long. If Fu Ling had taken a living giant clam, it would have been a real sin.

Giant clams are the largest bivalve oysters in the world, mainly distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They often appear in coral reefs near low tide areas in some tropical waters.

Fu Wan searched the place where Fu Ling picked up the giant clam shell twice, but found no other giant clams.

I guess this was washed ashore by the waves.

"Awan, is this thing valuable?"

Ye Jianguo saw that Fu Wan was carefully protecting the big shell. She was not so careful with the abalone pearl just now.

"Worth it? Uncle, this is not a question of value."

Seeing that Fu Ming and Fu Liang also looked confused, Fu Wan quickly gave them some scientific explanation.

"Giant clam shells are mostly triangular, with a curved top that resembles a wave. They have a pearly sheen and are often cut to create gemstones because of their beautiful color and delicate texture."

"Then we're going to be rich?!"

Fu Ming exclaimed in surprise. This shell was as big as an adult's palm. If it was more precious than abalone beads, he couldn't even imagine how much it could be exchanged for.

Fu Wan rolled her eyes at him. "If you sell giant clams today, you'll be stuck in a slum tomorrow. They're incredibly valuable, one of our nation's scarce plant and animal resources. If everyone tries to buy and sell them, the giant clams in the sea will suffer!"

"This thing is not easy to grow. This one in our hand probably took quite a while to grow to this size."

Fu Wan is not sure what restrictions the government has on giant clams now, and the shells in her hands have become a hot potato.

"What should I do with this thing?"

You can't sell it or show it off yourself. If you keep it at home, it will be a time bomb.

Now that so many people have seen that the giant clam shells are dead objects picked up from the beach, if they are reported in the future for catching and killing nationally protected animals, they will have nowhere to appeal even if they are right.

"Let's ask Leader Zhao about this when we get back!"

He is the leader of the Fisheries Bureau, so it would be most appropriate for him to be responsible for the fate of this thing.

Boss Fu also agreed with this decision. Fu Wan carefully wrapped the giant clam shell with a piece of clothing she was not wearing. When she turned around, she saw her daughter squatting on the side with her mouth pouting like a duck.

"What happened to our Lingling?"

Fu Ling felt a little aggrieved, "Why did Mom hide my shells?"

Fu Wan then realized that she had not told her child that this thing was not an ordinary shell, and she quickly explained to her daughter.

"Lingling, this shell is not an ordinary shell. Our Lingling is so amazing. This shell belongs to a protected animal. We want to hand it over to the country.

Wait for mom to go to the sea and pick up some other beautiful shells for you, okay?"

Fu Ling was coaxed into submission by Fu Wan at once. After all, she just thought the shell was pretty. Now when she heard Fu Wan say that the shell had to be handed in, she didn't quite understand what she was saying.

"Then I'll go dig some nice shells!"

"Go ahead, mom will make you a shell wind chime later."

"Great!"

Fu Ling ran away cheering. Fu Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead. My goodness, coaxing a child is such hard work.

She took the giant clam shells back to the boat and put them away. Standing at the stern, she saw Fu Ming and Fu Liang moving stones to look for crabs not far away.

Because all the abalone had been dug up, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan ran to the beach to pick up clams.

The wind on the beach was still very cool at this moment. Fu Wan saw the busy figures of her family members and sighed. This was probably the meaning of rebirth.

The weather is nice and the family is together.

All the haze of the previous life was swept away.

As she sighed, she looked into the distance, and she unconsciously saw a large reef not far away, which was densely covered with wild seaweed. Was that wild seaweed?

This reef is not far from where Fu Wan and her friends had previously dug for abalone. Perhaps because their attention was previously drawn to the abalone and oysters, they did not notice so much seaweed.

Now Fu Wan was standing on the boat, and because she was higher up, she could see everything clearly.

The waves hit the rocks from time to time, and there were a lot of seaweed under the rocks, rising and falling with the waves.

"Mom, Auntie, there's so much seaweed there!"

Fu Wan shouted to Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan as she got off the boat.

Seaweed is a good thing. Fu Wan's family all likes to eat seaweed. Sometimes when we don't know what to eat at home, we use seaweed to make soup or just use seaweed to make a cold dish. It tastes very good.

Nori also contains very high vitamins and minerals. Fu Wan has not picked nori since her rebirth.

There was no way. On the beach near Fujia Village, not to mention the seaweed, even the seaweed on the rocks had been picked clean by the children.

Hearing Fu Wan's voice, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan instinctively stood up and walked in Fu Wan's direction.

Ye Jianguo went sea fishing with Boss Fu. Fu Ming, Fu Liang and Ye Lin also heard Fu Wan's voice. They stopped looking for crabs and followed Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan towards the reef.

After getting off the boat, Fu Wan pulled Fu Ling towards the seaweed reef. Because it was a bit far and it was not easy to walk on the reef, Fu Wan carefully supported Fu Ling and walked over.

Fu Ling followed suit, holding Fu Wan's arm with her little arm and walking over step by step.

"It's really seaweed, and it looks like fresh seaweed!"

When Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan saw the large patch of seaweed, they hurriedly squatted down and started picking.

Ye Lin was a little confused because he had only eaten seaweed sold directly by the supply and marketing cooperative.

"What is first-water seaweed?"

Fu Wan just happened to come over and helped him solve his doubts.

"The first-water laver is the laver that has grown for the first time and is picked for the first time. The laver picked after that is the second-water and third-water laver.

Nori grows very quickly, and you can pick it again about half a month after harvesting it. But the first-season nori is the best of all nori. It is not only extremely tender but also tastes great. And because the yield is low, it is considered the best nori.

Fu Ming suddenly understood, but he still didn't quite understand one thing, "This... is called low production?"

Fu Wan looked at the large patch of seaweed reef that was about half an acre in size and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig her toes into the ground.

"We're lucky! We have so much fresh seaweed. We'll take it back and dry it. I wonder how long it will last!"

It is not very cost-effective to sell seaweed directly, and there is not much left after drying it. Generally, people take it home and dry it to add to their family’s vegetables during the busy farming season.

"There's so much seaweed, hurry up and pick it and dry it. The sun's good these few days. After drying it, I'll go to town and ask if anyone wants to buy it."

Sun Youcai, who collected bird’s nests last time, is a good candidate!
