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

Seeing Fu Wan gently put the conch back next to the coral reef, Boss Fu was also full of questions.

He remembered that his daughter loved collecting beautiful conch shells when she was a child, so why doesn’t she like it now?

It is difficult to communicate underwater just by using gestures, so Boss Fu's doubt lasted less than a minute before he immediately became busy again with great interest.

Because he discovered that there were several large sea cucumbers as thick as arms hidden next to the coral reef not far away.

Such a large sea cucumber is very rare. Boss Fu couldn't help but swim over and pick up a lot of them.

He has been seeing sea cucumbers frequently recently. Last time he picked up some, he kept two for himself and asked Ye Lin to send a few to his brother-in-law.

Although he felt much more energetic after eating the sea cucumber, who could have expected that he might have overdosed on it? He actually started bleeding from his nose while sleeping at night.

This almost scared Ye Xiaocui to death, so she ordered Boss Fu not to eat such nourishing food anymore.

Even though his wife didn't allow him to eat it, Boss Fu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw this thing.

If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. If you don’t want to eat it, you can sell it for money!

China is such a big country, there are so many men who want to eat sea cucumbers!

Fu Wan had no interest in sea cucumbers; her heart was set on lobsters. But after searching several coral reefs, she couldn't find a single small green dragon.

However, near the last coral reef, she did find a lot of ribbons.

Thinking that the last time she ate this thing was a month ago, Fu Wan couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she looked at these big things.

Blanch the scallops and add some garlic chili sauce, you will know how delicious it is if you have tried it!

So she started picking up the strips without hesitation. They were delicious, but the shells were heavy and large.

In a short while, the net bag that was filled with half a bag of mantis shrimp was filled with tape.

And because of the weight of the belt, the mantis shrimps stopped struggling and could not move at all.

Looks like I need to change the net bag.

Fortunately, I also brought several net bags!

Fu Wan tightened the opening of the net bag in her hand, tied it up and put it aside.

Then she took off a net bag from her waist and started a new round of harvest.

She was still obsessed with lobsters, but hard work paid off. When she swam to another coral reef to search, several familiar lobster tentacles appeared in front of her.

Aren’t those erected antennas calling her?

Lobster holes are generally narrow, so Fu Wan could only reach in along the erect antennae, touch the lobster head, grab it tightly, and then pull it out.

However, she was a little surprised after taking out the lobster, because the lobster she caught this time was not the small blue lobster as before, but a yellow-spotted lobster with a slightly yellow tail.

The little green dragon that Fu Wan and the others were talking about was actually a bamboo dragon, also known as a cedar dragon. Its tail was mostly green, with a clear blue-green color at the base.

The small blue dragon is very similar to the Chinese lobster, but there are also differences. The bottom of the lobster's tail is a distinctly layered yellowish-brown color.

Moreover, the Chinese splendor lobster has many white and blue spots on its head, while the yellow-spotted lobster is not as beautiful in color. Not only is the color not bright, but there are also many yellow spots on its dark blue back.

Although it doesn’t look very good, the taste of yellow-spotted lobster is better than that of small blue lobster and second only to the splendid lobster, so it ranks second in price.

This was the first time that Fu Wan caught a yellow-spotted lobster in the sea. She didn't even have time to appreciate it. She hurriedly stuffed the lobster into the net bag and started digging out the lobster hole.

Lobsters live in groups, so if you find one, you might find a whole nest.

Sure enough, after feeling a struggle in her hand, she retracted her hand again. It was another yellow-spotted lobster. But because she had caught lobsters twice in a row, the other shrimp in the lobster cave had obviously been frightened and hid in the innermost part of the reef. Fu Wan couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.

Just when she was worried, the coral reef was actually lifted up by someone.

Fu Wan didn't have time to see what was going on, and her hand instinctively reached out to grab the lobster.

There are only about five or six lobsters in this nest, including three small ones. The heads of these crayfish are bigger than their tails, and they look like they are not yet adults.

So Fu Wan naturally let them go, and then stuffed the larger lobster in her hand into the net bag.

The one who lifted the coral reef was naturally Boss Fu. He picked up half a bag of sea cucumbers. When he turned around to look for Fu Wan, he found that his daughter had encountered a problem.

When he saw the yellow-spotted lobster in Fu Wan's net bag, he also gave a thumbs up.

Yellow spot lobster, good price!

After restoring the coral reef to its original state, Fu Wan and Boss Fu dug a few more lobster holes and picked up several spider snails. After filling their nets again, she and Boss Fu tacitly picked up the harpoons placed nearby.

Now we have lobsters and conchs, and there is only one net bag left, so naturally we have to get some fish back.

Although there are many fish in this sea area, neither Fu Wan nor Boss Fu has any intention of taking action.

Because these fish are all small fish the size of a palm, there is no need to hunt them.

Just when Fu Wan was about to give up, a beautiful red color emerged from the coral reef and swam slowly in front of her.

After seeing the appearance of the fish clearly, Fu Wan was also stunned.

That's a long-tailed bird that likes to live in the deep sea. I don't know how it ran to the shallow sea area here.

But she would never give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She raised her harpoon, aimed at the fish and stabbed it.

The long-tailed bird never expected that danger would come so quickly. Before it could react, the harpoon had already pinned it in the mud and sand.

Fu Wan was afraid that it would struggle violently and escape, so she swam over and grabbed it before pulling out the harpoon.

After putting the fish into the net bag, she had time to appreciate the beauty of the long-tailed bird.

Long-tailed bird is actually the name used by the locals. The scientific name of this fish is silktail red diamondfish, also known as long-tailed ice snapper.

The most distinctive feature of this fish is its tail. The lines of its tail are as smooth as a ribbon. Its entire body is a beautiful bright red, except for the belly which is slightly lighter.

This fish has a large forked tail fin and prefers to feed on squid, shrimp, crabs, and plankton. It typically lives in the deep sea and can grow to over a meter in length. (Image from the Long-tailed Bird website: Very beautiful.) The one in Fu Wan's hand is only about 40 centimeters long, but it probably weighs around four or five kilograms.

Seeing that Fu Wan had already made a haul, Boss Fu, not to be outdone, speared a yellowfin snapper weighing about two kilograms.

Afterwards, they caught a few more common sea breams. Seeing that the harvest was almost complete, Fu Wan signaled Boss Fu to swim towards the surface of the sea.

Not long after they surfaced, they heard the roar of a diesel engine in the distance. The timing was perfect - Fu Ming and Fu Liang were back with the trawling net.

Fu Wan and Fu Lao Da first handed all the net bags in their hands to Fu Ming on the deck, and then pushed themselves onto the boat with their hands.

"Wow, you guys have gained quite a lot this time!"

Fu Ming sighed several times. Their trawl net had just been raised and they had not had time to untie the ropes.

"Awan, that's perfect. Untie the hemp ropes that hold the trawl net. I'll get the fish baskets and load up all the seafood."

It wasn't that Fu Ming was lazy and didn't untie the hemp rope of the trawler, but Fu Liang, who was driving the boat, insisted that Fu Wan untie it.

Although Fu Wan was a little tired, she still had the strength to untie the hemp rope.
