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

Picking seaweed is a big job because the rocks are wet and slippery. Everyone has to keep themselves steady and not slip while constantly picking up the seaweed on the rocks with their hands.

Because it was Ye Lin's first time to pick this thing, even though he accidentally slipped off the reef several times and his clothes were soaked by sea water, he was still happy.

Only the pickers can understand the joy of harvest!

Fu Ming, Fu Liang and others didn't care at all. They lay on the reef without any image at all, and picked the seaweed with both hands. The snakeskin bags beside them were full in a short while.

After more than two hours of hard work, Ye Xiaocui saw that the snakeskin bags she brought were full, and then she stood up straight, holding her aching waist.

"There's so much seaweed here! We've almost picked it all. Let's save the roots and come back in half a month!"

Nori grows very fast, and half a month is enough for this piece of nori to grow again, but the taste will not be as good as this batch of first-season nori.

"Xiao Cui, it's almost time for us to go back. This is the first time I've had such a sore back from picking seaweed. I've never had such a good time before on the rocks near the village."

Jiang Chunlan also rubbed her waist and stood up. After all, middle-aged people are not as good as Fu Liang and his group of young men. After squatting for two hours and standing up, her eyes were black.

Fu Wan picked up the seaweed she had on hand and walked towards the beach with the snakeskin bag.

Fu Ling was waiting for her mother by the reef. It was already past four in the afternoon. Fu Wan estimated the time and thought that Fu Lao Da would be back soon and would prepare a simple dinner so that everyone could go fishing in the evening after eating.

Sure enough, when Fu Wan and the others were carrying their things to the place where they had temporarily built a stove at noon, Boss Fu and Ye Jianguo came back one after the other, carrying fishing rods.

"Awan, grill these fish, I've packed everything!"

If Boss Fu wasn't an expert in wilderness survival, he wouldn't forget to clean up the fish while fishing. Fu Wan took the fish bucket, which contained several cleaned sea bass and a yellowfin snapper that looked to weigh less than two pounds.

"Dad, are all the fish grilled?"

Boss Fu nodded. "The sea bass is too small and won't fetch much. The yellowfin snapper has fewer bones, so it's just right for Lingling."

"As expected of you, Dad!"

Fu Wan secretly gave Boss Fu a thumbs up, and it was a good thing that Ye Xiaocui didn't see it, otherwise people would accuse the father and daughter of being spendthrifts.

Yellowfin sea bream is a type of sea bream. Its back is bluish-gray with a golden luster. Its pelvic fins, anal fins and caudal fins are all leaf yellow, hence the name yellowfin sea bream.

The yellowfin sea bream not only has delicious meat, but also has the distinctive feature of having few bones. The price of this fish is also very attractive. Fu San charges about RMB 1.3 per pound.

So Boss Fu specially killed the fish for Fu Wan, for fear that Ye Xiaocui would feel sad later, so he kept the fish and sold it tomorrow.

No matter how poor anyone is, the child should not be poor. It’s just a few fish. His family can afford it!

Fu Wan's skill in grilling fish was average, mainly because she had limited seasonings with her today. Fortunately, the fish itself tasted good, so even though a few people had a simple meal, they were still full in the end.

It was almost six in the afternoon and the sun was about to set.

Boss Fu asked everyone to get on the boat quickly. In the evening when there was no sun, many schools of fish would emerge from the water.

Now is the perfect time to cast your nets and catch fish!

Everyone boarded the boat according to the arrangement when they came. As usual, Boss Fu's boat was in front, and Fu Ming's boat followed behind.

Boss Fu was not moving very fast at the beginning. They would definitely have to leave the island to fish, so Fu Wan planned to put away the octopus trap that she had set a few days ago.

Fu Wan first reached out to the marked octopus trap, then grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it toward the boat.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were also helping from behind. There were not many octopus traps set out before, only about two or three hundred bamboo tubes.

It took less than ten minutes for the two boats to collect the bamboo tubes that had been thrown out. All of them were dropped on the deck.

It was the first time for Jiang Chunlan, Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin to see such a method. They were especially surprised to see Fu Wan and Fu Liang skillfully use long hooks to take out the octopus inside.

"This thing is like the fish cage we use to catch eels. You just wait for the fish to crawl in on their own!"

Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo volunteered to pick up the extra long hooks and started to catch the octopus, following Fu Liang's example.

Fu Liang was just about to tell them about the octopus digging, but before he could say anything, Ye Lin picked up the bamboo tube, looked at the octopus inside, and pulled it out with a hook.

The result is predictable. The next second, a stream of black ink spurted out and splashed all over Ye Lin's face.

He looked at Fu Liang and his father with a confused look on his face. Fu Liang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even Ye Jianguo couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he felt it was inappropriate to make fun of him, so he turned around and looked at the unfortunate child with his back to him.

The three people on Fu Wan's boat did not see this scene, they only heard Fu Liang's laughter.

Fu Ling was feeling a little sleepy at first, but when he saw Ye Lin's expression while lying on the side of the boat, he burst into laughter.

"Mom, my cousin has turned into a black uncle!"

Fu Wan looked towards Ye Lin and immediately laughed.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him because of Fu Liang's laughter, Ye Lin couldn't help but blush.

But because of the octopus's ink, no one could see it.

Fu Ming and Fu Lao Da were driving the boat while listening to the laughter on the two boats, and their fatigue was swept away.

Seeing that the octopus traps were almost collected, Boss Fu turned the rudder and prepared to drive the boat to the sea area where he had been operating before.

On the way, we came across many boats in groups of two or three, which were all villagers out fishing.

"Dad, I'll just log off the internet!"

The location of the isolated island was not far from the sea area where they had been operating before. Seeing that there were few ships around, Fu Wan wanted to cast the net directly.

Boss Fu nodded in agreement. Fu Wan gestured to Fu Liang who was guarding the stern of the boat, and then threw the trawl net out with force.

The fishing net sank very quickly, and the hemp rope that was quickly straightened on the net-lifting machine also demonstrated the abundance of fish resources underneath.

Boss Fu's boat also slowed down. Fu Ling was so sleepy that she ran into the cabin and fell asleep.

Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui began to string the bait for longline fishing. Fu Wan didn't need to look after the child, so she and Ye Xiaocui each took one side and put the longline fishing line into the sea.

They drove like this for more than half an hour. By the time Fu Wan had finished casting out the longline fishing line, the trawl net on this side was almost ready to be pulled up.

With the creaking sound of the net-lifter, a heavy fishing net was hung above the deck.

When the sound of the net machine stopped, Fu Wan went up and untied the hemp rope with a noose at the bottom.

"Let me see, what is the first net today?"
