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

That night, some people stayed in the Public Security Bureau for most of the night, while others slept the most peaceful sleep of their lives in Fujia Village even in the howling wind.

Because there was no guest room at home, Boss Fu was sent to share a room with Fu Ming, while Fu Fengying slept with Ye Xiaocui.

The next morning, Fu Wan and the children had just finished washing up when they saw Boss Fu coming back carrying a tree.

"Dad, where did you get that coconut tree?"

Boss Fu threw the tree trunk aside, and Fu Wan then discovered that there was Fu Ming, who was exhausted and miserable, behind him.

"Oh, these were blown down by the wind last night. There are several coconut trees on the beach."

Maybe because he was too excited that his elder sister was back, or maybe because he was not used to sleeping with his son, Boss Fu got up before five o'clock this morning.

When he got up and saw that the wind and rain had stopped, he dragged Fu Ming to the beach to catch some seafood.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the red tide, but there are very few living things on the beach. Whether it’s crabs or sea fish, there is basically nothing fresh.

Fu Ming had to walk a long way before he found two palm-sized blue crabs under the mud in the shallow ditch.

The most important thing is that not long after, the village chief Fu came. The old man directly conscripted able-bodied men and detained all the men who came to the sea to catch fish.

What are you staying for?

Of course, it is to clean up the dead fish and rotten shrimps on the beach.

You have to know that there is still some sunlight during the day. If these dead fish and shrimps are not picked up and disposed of, they will attract a lot of flies and may even breed maggots.

When the beach is filled with a foul smell, how will the villagers live?

Yesterday morning, Village Chief Fu took some men from the village to clean up the dead fish and shrimps caused by the red tide. Based on the typhoon last night, he guessed that there would be a lot of dead fish and shrimps washed up on the beach early this morning.

Sure enough, he guessed it right.

In fact, even if Village Chief Fu did not conscript the men, Boss Fu also planned to pick up these fish and shrimps with Fu Ming and take them back to bury them in the fields to make compost.

Now that Village Chief Fu has arrived, along with many men from the village, everyone has been busy all morning and has finally made the beach clean and fresh again.

As for the several coconut trees that were blown down by the typhoon, the old village chief took a closer look and found that they were coconut trees that had grown in the village for decades. They would not survive if they were replanted, so he could only let whoever wanted them divide them up.

Boss Fu traded the big blue crab that Fu Ming picked up with someone else for a share, and in return he got a whole coconut tree.

So it became what Fu Wan saw now. Fu Lao Da and his son took great pains to carry the coconut tree back.

"Dad, I'm not saying anything, but what are you going to do with this coconut tree?"

"I'm exhausted, but it's not as good as my big blue crab. At least it has some meat."

Fu Ming was very depressed. That was the big blue crab he had found with great difficulty, but it was exchanged by Boss Fu for an inedible coconut tree.

Even for burning firewood, you still have to chop and dry it.

Boss Fu rolled his eyes at him and was about to say something when Ye Xiaocui and Fu Fengying came back from outside carrying baskets.

They went to the field early this morning to dig some sweet potatoes, planning to cook them later.

"Hey, where are the coconut trees?"

Ye Xiaocui frowned, put down the basket in her hand and asked.

Boss Fu took out a saw from the house.

"I found it on the beach. The wind was so strong last night that it blew down some trees."

In fact, it wasn't just the wind last night. There have been several typhoons recently. I guess the wind last night was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the coconut trees.

"Is there a core in there?"

Ye Xiaocui quickly took out a kitchen knife.

Boss Fu sawed the coconut tree in half, took a look and said, "Yes, it's quite big!"

The couple's conversation back and forth confused Fu Wan and Fu Ming.

What is the use of this coconut core?

Fu Fengying was also very confused. She had been away from Fujia Village for too long. Today, when she followed Ye Xiaocui around the village, she found that the village had changed so much.

Everything I see seems strange.

Boss Fu moved very quickly. He deftly sawed off the lower half of the coconut tree, and then used a kitchen knife to peel off the outer shell of the coconut tree.

It took just over ten minutes, and in the end, only a plump white tree core was left in his hand.

"Dad, can this be eaten?"

Fu Wan immediately guessed what Boss Fu was intending. The core of this coconut tree must be edible, and it should taste pretty good.

Otherwise, Boss Fu wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get it back.

Boss Fu scooped some water from the bucket beside him and washed the coconut core in his hand, then cut off a small piece and divided it into several petals.

Then he handed it to Fu Wan and others.

"Try it, this is something you won't be able to eat for decades."

Fu Wan took a small piece. It was pure white, even layered with lines in the middle, as if it could be peeled off by hand. She skeptically put it in her mouth and took a bite. She expected it to be soft, but it was surprisingly crisp.

There was even a special sweetness that immediately exploded in her mouth. It not only had a rich coconut aroma, but also tasted very sweet.

There is even a faint scent of grass.

And the texture when you chew it is as addictive as sugarcane.

"good to eat!"

Fu Ming finished the small piece of coconut core in his hand in just a few bites. Now he finally understood why his father wanted to exchange his big blue crab for this thing.

Fu Fengying and Ye Xiaocui each got a small piece. Fu Fengying had never eaten it before, so she found it strange. But Ye Xiaocui still had a look of aftertaste on her face while eating it.

But what she reminisced about was not the taste, but the good old days.

"It's exactly the same as what I ate twenty years ago."

Fu Ming's eyes widened immediately after hearing this. "Okay, you guys ate this secretly before and didn't even call me!"

This really annoyed Ye Xiaocui, and she couldn't help but give him a slap on her back.

"Your father and I had just gotten married back then, and you didn't even know where you were!"

There was a typhoon in the village at that time, and Boss Fu gave someone a sieve of clams in exchange for a small piece of tree core.

I just want my wife to taste this thing.

Coconut trees are long-lived and resilient. If it weren't for the typhoon, they wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have eaten the coconut core.

"Wife, there are still a lot of coconut palm cores. Let's kill a chicken today and stew a pot with the cores!"

Boss Fu also knew that coconut tree cores were rare, and he had heard that chicken stewed with coconut tree cores was particularly delicious, so he had always wanted to try it when he had the chance.

But coconut trees are the protectors of the seashore and beaches. Every time a big creature eats the core of a coconut tree, it is after a typhoon.

So everyone has mixed feelings about the coconut palms. They're delicious, but the price they pay each time is too high. If the wind blows them away, they can only dispose of the coconut palms and plant new ones later.

When she heard that they were going to catch chickens, Ye Xiaocui agreed without thinking.

Nowadays, the chickens at home only lay one egg every two or three days, so we just kill them to avoid wasting food.

However, Wangcai next to her seemed to understand and was even faster than Ye Xiaocui. He quickly picked up an old hen from the chicken coop.
