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

As Fu Wan pulled the rope, the seafood in the fishing net fell directly onto the deck due to inertia.

"Oh my God, why are there so many hairtails!"

Ye Xiaocui exclaimed in surprise, and Jiang Chunlan was so happy that her eyes blossomed.

"This hairtail is really beautiful. It's only autumn now, so this must be the first batch of hairtail we've seen at the dock. We'll definitely be able to sell it for a good price later!"

Fu Wan had sharp eyes and was also very surprised when she picked up a cutlassfish at her feet.

“It’s a black-eyed cutlassfish!”

When Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan heard what Fu Wan said, they also picked up the hairtail at their feet, and they were even happier.

"It's really a black eye!"

"That's great! There are at least a hundred pounds of black-eyed hairtail on this deck!"

The three of them looked at the fish on the deck. Although there were still many crabs among the cutlassfish, the cutlassfish accounted for the majority. In addition, the sun had already set, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the fish, making the cutlassfish on the deck look much more beautiful.

"Hurry up and pick out these hairtail fish and put them in the fish basket. If they are not fresh later, they will not be able to sell for a good price."

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan dragged out the fish basket with nimble hands and feet. The three of them immediately got to work, picking out each cutlass fish and stacking them neatly in the fish basket.

Hairtails live in deep sea areas and their bodies are used to bearing enormous pressure. Once out of the water, the external pressure decreases, while the internal pressure remains high, resulting in local bleeding and organ rupture, leading to death.

Therefore, the hairtails would die soon after being taken out to sea. Fu Wan and her team had to race against time to pick out all the hairtails and put them into fish baskets, using ice to keep them fresh.

The fishing net on Fu Liang's boat had just been pulled up. Seeing the bulging fishing net, Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo truly felt the joy of the fishermen.

"Uncle, please untie the rope!"

Fu Liang asked Ye Jianguo to untie the hemp rope of the fishing net. He always felt that a novice might have more luck.

Ye Jianguo did not refuse, as this was a rare opportunity to experience it.

When Ye Jianguo untied the rope, the fish in their net was almost the same as that in Fu Wan's.

“It’s really a black-eyed cutlassfish!”

When he heard Fu Wan's voice earlier, he was uneasy about his harvest. Now, seeing the harvest on this deck, he finally felt relieved.

"Are there black-eyed and white-eyed hairtail fish?"

Ye Lin picked up a cutlassfish from the deck. The cutlassfish was still very alive, and its mouth was still opening and closing.

They rarely eat hairtail, so they have no idea that there are different types of hairtail.

Not to mention the black eyes and white eyes.

"Let's throw another fishing net down first, maybe there's more underneath!"

After throwing the fishing net down, Fu Liang squatted down and picked out the fish while explaining the differences between hairtail to Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin.

Although he usually doesn't say much, he becomes very excited when talking about fish.

"The hairtail fish here are generally this type of silvery-white hairtail fish. The most obvious difference between them is the color of their eyes."

"Generally speaking, our country's hairtail is mainly divided into northern and southern hairtail, depending on the region.

Southern hairtail are mostly yellow-eyed hairtail, usually found in the South China Sea. They are also silvery white, about 6 to 10 centimeters wide and about one meter long.

Fu Liang was also in junior high school. He was afraid that Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo didn't know what 6 to 10 centimeters meant, so he took two cutlassfish and used them in his hands to measure the width for them to see.

Although Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo were listening to Fu Liang's popular science lecture, they did not stop their actions.

Didn’t you see that these hairtails died as soon as they came ashore? They had to be put into the fish baskets quickly. If they were not fresh, they would not be sold at a good price!

"Aliang, this yellow-eyed cutlassfish is from the south, and the black-eyed cutlassfish is from the north? But aren't we in the south?"

Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo felt dizzy after hearing this. When they saw these black-eyed cutlassfish, they thought they were in the north.

"Nothing is absolute. Most black-eyed hairtail fish are from the north. Because the temperature in the north is lower and the sea temperature is also lower than in the south, they grow more slowly and are generally smaller than southern hairtail fish. Their scales also fall off more easily."

Ye Lin didn’t think the hairtail fish in his hand was small. Although it was not very long, when he touched the hairtail fish, he felt that the fish meat was very solid.

"Although we're in the south, not all cutlassfish have yellow eyes. Occasionally, if we're lucky, we can catch black-eyed cutlassfish. You know what? This year, we're probably the first in our family to catch a black-eyed cutlassfish!"

Fu Liang couldn't help but feel happy when talking about this, and his face was full of pride.

They have to be good at sea transportation!

Seeing that most of the hairtail had been picked, Ye Lin asked his last question.

"Is the yellow-eyed cutlassfish better or the black-eyed cutlassfish?"

Seeing how happy Fu Liang and the others were, he guessed that the hairtail could probably be sold at a good price.

"If we talk about deliciousness, it has to be black-eyed hairtail!"

Fu Liang swallowed his saliva. "The black hairtail fish is tender and has little fishy smell. It's delicious even when steamed!"

"Yellow-eyed hairtail is only delicious when fried in oil," he glanced at the backs of Jiang Chunlan and the others who were still busy working, "My mother fried it in oil, and it's not very tasty!"

"Although this is southern black-eyed hairtail, it tastes very good. Go back and get the one that's been damaged by crabs, and I'll make you another one to try!"

Jiang Chunlan was tying ropes to crabs when her nose suddenly felt itchy and she sneezed twice in succession.

"Chunlan, are you catching a cold?"

Ye Xiaocui and Fu Wan moved the hairtail into the cabin, and when they came out they saw Jiang Chunlan rubbing her nose.

"It's okay, I guess someone is saying bad things about me behind my back! If I catch him later, I'll skin him alive!"

Fu Liang, who had been talking bad about Jiang Chunlan behind her back, heard Jiang Chunlan's loud voice and hurriedly picked out the remaining crabs and some miscellaneous fish with Ye Lin and Ye Jianguo.

Several hairtails were broken by the crabs, so they took some ice to keep them and prepared to have them as a snack when they got back.

Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui moved the baskets of hairtail fish into the cabin. Looking at the neatly arranged hairtail fish, they felt extremely satisfied.

Stacking cutlassfish is a technical job, especially the black-eyed cutlassfish, whose scales fall off easily. If all the scales on the fish fall off, it will not be sold at a good price.

Seeing that it was almost time for Boss Fu's boat to sail away and all the fish on the deck had been picked out, Fu Wan hurriedly pulled up another fishing net with Jiang Chunlan.

"I wonder if there are any more black-eyed cutlassfish in this net. If this net is the same as the previous one, then it will be worth it for us to come out today!"
