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

The longlines released by Ye Xiaocui and others were on both sides of the boat, so the people who were collecting the longlines were also divided into two sides.

Jack had never seen these things before. After just finishing the first round of longline fishing, he now took the initiative to join the team that collected the hooks.

As soon as Fu Wan pulled the first rope hook, she felt something struggling below.

Without saying a word, she quickly lifted the hook, and then a stingray weighing more than a pound appeared in front of them.

"Wow, this stingray is pretty good!"

Fu Liang exclaimed in admiration, and before Fu Wan could do anything, he took the stingray and pulled out the hook.

Because of Fu Liang's actions, the stingray also felt the danger and within a minute, it instantly puffed itself up into a ball of thorns. The furious stingray made Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu very angry.

The spiny fish is actually a bit similar to the pufferfish. When stimulated, it will inflate itself into a ball to threaten the enemy.

But in the eyes of humans, this is not a threat, but a cute act.

Compared to pufferfish, spinyfish are relatively easy to identify. Their backs are gray-brown, their bellies are milky white, and they have large, cloud-like black patches and numerous small spots on their backs and sides, making them ideal for hiding undetected in coral reefs. (Image of spinyfish online, infringing information deleted.) Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu watched the spinyfish go from a rounded shape to a flattened shape in an instant, and they couldn't help but want to catch it again.

As a result, Fu Wan just pulled up a yellowfin snapper and immediately stopped her.

"This stingray has teeth! Be careful or it might bite your fingers off!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were frightened and took several steps back.

However, Fu Wan was not just trying to scare them. Although this stingray may not look small, it has two rows of teeth.

After all, it is a carnivore. Previously, a fisherman in the neighboring village even had his finger bitten off by a stingray.

So when Fu Liang saw that it was a stingray, he quickly took it and removed the hook to prevent Fu Wan from getting hurt.

Although angry, the spiny ray may seem formidable, it's actually quite venomous. Unlike lionfish and golden drum, its venom isn't in its spines, but in its internal organs.

The internal organs of pufferfish are highly poisonous, and just a little bit is enough to kill a person, but its skin and meat are also a rare delicacy.

Therefore, as long as an experienced fisherman or chef can clean it, the price of spiny fish is not low, about one dollar and two cents per catty.

There were few empty hooks in the longline fishing on both sides. In addition to the stingray, Fu Wan also caught two yellowfin sea bream and black sea bream weighing about one kilogram, while Ye Xiaocui and Jack and the others caught several sea bass and a grouper weighing more than two kilograms.

Seeing that they were about to approach the Bird's Nest Island, Fu Wan quickly pulled up the remaining two hooks. She originally thought it was another sea bream, but unexpectedly it was two sesame snappers weighing two or three pounds.

Sesame spot is actually a type of grouper. It is called sesame spot because its body is covered with sesame-sized spots.

The sesame grouper is dark brown and looks similar to other groupers. This carnivorous grouper is quite aggressive. Although not as valuable as the rat grouper or the eastern star grouper, the sesame grouper is very popular in restaurants due to its tender meat, so the price is very reasonable.

However, Fu Wan had never caught a sesame spot before, so she wasn't sure how much it would sell for.

"Hey, these two sesame spots are nice!"

Boss Fu was about to operate the net-lifting machine to pull up the trawl net, but when he turned around, he saw the sesame fish that Fu Wan and Fu Liang had unhooked from the fishhook.

Fu Wan took the opportunity to ask, "Dad, what's the price of this sesame spot now?"

Boss Fu stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "The price of seafood changes every day. If it doesn't change much in the near future, it should be around one dollar and fifty cents."

One dollar and fifty cents is actually not bad, considering the price of seafood has increased a lot now. After all, the price of grouper was only about one dollar before.

In fact, it was also because money was valuable in that era, and the workers’ wages were less than 30 yuan.

Live fish such as sesame grouper and thorny fish are all placed in a tall fish basket. This fish basket is actually a large water tank filled with seawater, which allows the fish to still be alive and kicking when they arrive at the dock.

Normally, if there was a live tank on the ship, these live fish and shrimps would be kept in the tank, but when Boss Fu built this ship, there was no space for a live tank.

Therefore, if we want a live cabin, we have to wait for the new ship to be delivered by the shipyard before the New Year.

After all the longline fishing was pulled up, Fu Liang and Ye Lin moved everything off the deck, and then wound the trawl rope onto the hauling machine.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were busy coiling up the longline fishing lines and hooks. After putting these things away, they began to pick out the last bit of fish.

The sound of the net-lifting machine was still squeaking. Boss Fu waited until the trawl net was lifted above the deck before turning off the machine.

"Hurry, hurry, untie the net bag and pick it out, then we'll go home!"

Boss Fu shouted, "After a whole day of tossing and turning on the boat, it's no wonder that his sweat tastes a bit like the salty sea water."

This time it was Jack who untied the net bag. He had never experienced this before. After Fu Ming taught him two or three times, he quickly learned how to untie the rope buckle.

As the hemp rope was pulled out, there was another crackling sound of fish being caught. Everyone had already hidden aside, but many fish jumped to their feet due to inertia.

"Oh my god, there are sharks here!"

Ye Xiaocui was shocked. Fu Wan looked over and saw several dog sharks struggling in the pile of fish.

The fish in this net are much better than the previous one!

Jiang Chunlan also nodded and praised: "When I pulled it up just now, I saw that this net was heavier than the previous one. It turns out that they are all good stuff!"

Fu Wan and Fu Ming didn't have time to say anything more, and hurried to the side to drag over the fish basket.

There were many kinds of fish in this trawl. In addition to the amazing dog sharks, there were also many sardines. It was estimated that they had just crashed into the trawl when they were chasing the school of sardines.

Not only that, there were also a lot of whitebait and pomfret. In order to better pick the fish, Fu Wan used a stick to push the pile of fish apart.

It would have been fine if she hadn't dug it out, but when she did, she was shocked.

"What is this, a shovelnose shark?!"

Hearing Fu Wan's exclamation, everyone looked over.

"Oh my, it's really a shovelhead shark! I haven't seen this thing in years!

"That's right! This shovelhead shark is also quite priced!"

Just as everyone was picking out fish and talking about it, a strange sound was heard from the sea.

"Chirp!"
