Fu Wan also felt dry in the mouth when she heard the word coconut. It would be great to have a coconut to eat right now.

By the way, last time she saw it, there were mangoes on the island!

Fu Wan stopped digging for sandworms. Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui were moving rocks and catching blue crabs nearby, and now they came over.

"Let me do it, get out of the way!"

Are you kidding? A coconut weighs three or four pounds, and a big one may weigh five or six pounds. If it falls down, won’t your head burst?

Boss Fu directly asked Ye Xiaocui and Fu Wan to take Shen Lingling to pick mangoes, while he went to the woods nearby to find a long branch and tied a small knife to it.

Hold up a long branch and reach over the coconut, then use the small knife on the branch to cut back and forth. After a while, a coconut will fall down.

Hey, it’s worthy of him!

After picking more than twenty coconuts in a row, Boss Fu finally gave up.

It would be a waste if we didn't pick them. There is no one on this deserted island. The ripe coconuts will either fall off and be eaten by insects and ants, or rot directly on the tree.

What a pity.

Ye Xiaocui is worthy of being married to Boss Fu for decades, and now they have the same idea.

Looking at Ye Xiaocui picking mangoes, Fu Wan reasonably suspected that if her mother had not been forbidden, she would have packed up all the mangoes and carried them home!

There are several sacks of mangoes on the ground. They are not here to pick a few to taste, they are clearly here to restock the stock.

Fishermen who have worked hard all their lives naturally have no shortage of energy. Before Boss Fu came to find them, Ye Xiaocui walked ahead carrying a bag full of mangoes.

The way her feet moved was so fast that if Fu Wan hadn't been carrying half as many mangoes as her mother, she would have doubted whether the thing on Ye Xiaocui's shoulder was the mango that weighed nearly a hundred pounds.

It's hard for her to lift these 70 or 80 kilograms!

Shen Lingling had her mouth full of mango. Seeing that Fu Wan couldn't lift it, she remembered to stuff the mango into her mouth and free up her two hands to help her carry it.

Her daughter is really considerate. Fu Wan was so embarrassed to look at her mother's disappointed expression.

After finally reaching halfway, they met Boss Fu. He took the sack from Fu Wan's hand, threw it over his shoulder, and reached out to take Ye Xiaocui's.

"It's almost here, what are you still taking?"

Ye Xiaocui didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked quickly towards the open space they had just found.

Fu Wan felt that she was being implied, but she didn't dare to say anything at the moment. This mango is really, unbearable!

She should just obediently continue packing the mangoes piled under the tree over there and wait for her father to come and carry them!

After several people sorted the mangoes and coconuts together, Fu Wan sat down tiredly on a thick dead branch.

Then she used a screwdriver to open a coconut for Shen Lingling, and took a sip herself. She felt she didn't have the energy to open a second one.

Boss Fu couldn't bear to see this anymore, so he picked up a screwdriver and quickly opened one for each of them.

Holding a big coconut in my hand, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, and there is a breeze blowing.

Fu Wan and the others felt extremely comfortable. Even Shen Lingling was holding a coconut that was bigger than her head, her eyes narrowed with joy.

"Dad, can I use this coconut to catch coconut crabs?"

Coconut crab?

Boss Fu chewed the coconut meat in his mouth and swallowed it. He had seen coconut crabs when he was a child.

There are also many large coconut groves in Fujia Village. When they were young, they often followed the adults in the village to catch coconut crabs with coconut meat.

He still remembered the one he caught, which was as big as two coconuts. He hid himself and boiled it in water and ate it for three days.

Later, during the famine years, not to mention coconut crabs, people even dug up the grass roots on the ground and ate them.

The coconut crabs were eaten to extinction by hungry villagers, and no coconut crabs were ever caught in the coconut groves again.

Although this deserted island is a two-hour sailing trip from Fujia Village, it looks like no one has ever been there.

Maybe there really are coconut crabs!

Since they had nothing to do, Fu Ming and Fu Liang drove the boat to an unknown place. The people on the deserted island smashed the coconuts that had been drained of juice, divided them into several pieces and placed them in the hole under the coconut tree.

The coconut crab got its name because it can crush coconuts with its large claws and eat the coconut meat inside. When Fu Wan and others found several holes under the coconut trees, they thought this was something interesting.

When coconut crabs are in their breeding season, they return to the ocean to lay eggs in the water. The baby crabs are born in the water and then return to live on land when they grow up.

Perhaps because of this different growth experience, it is much larger than the average crab in the sea, especially its claws, which are so thick.

However, coconut crabs generally like to be active at night, and Fu Wan and others are not sure whether there are any greedy coconut crabs that can't resist the temptation of food and crawl out to eat at this time.

While waiting for the coconut crab to be caught, Shen Lingling complained that she was a little hungry because she had already fed the fish with the lunch she had eaten on the boat.

Fortunately, Boss Fu had a small steel pot with him. A few people picked up some dead branches in a cool place, washed the blue crabs they had just picked up, and put some sea water in the pot to boil them.

It was the first time for Shen Lingling to eat crabs outside like this. She was so excited that she ran around. Fu Wan really admired this child's energy. It seemed as if she was always full of energy and never tired.

Each person got a few palm-sized blue crabs. Although they were not seasoned, they were still fresh and delicious in their original flavor.

After eating the crabs, Fu Wan asked Ye Xiaocui to take Shen Lingling with her, while she and Fu Lao Da went to see if there was any movement of coconut crabs.

You could say her luck was pretty good. After Fu Wan had searched for two or three traps but didn't find any, and was feeling frustrated, a large lump of white coconut meat in front of her suddenly caught her eye.

A coconut crab as big as one and a half basketballs was nestled next to the coconut meat, with a large piece of coconut meat clamped in one of its claws.

Fu Wan stepped on the coconut crab with her feet, then grabbed the crab's two largest claws with both hands and picked it up.

Wow, you wouldn’t know until you catch it. This crab weighs at least ten kilograms. Because of its huge size, it looks a bit clumsy. Fu Wan threw it into the bag without even struggling.

However, there are still few coconut crabs that are so greedy. Fu Wan found more than ten traps, but apart from this big crab, she only caught a small crab weighing five or six pounds.

But compared to the blue crab, it is still very huge.

After carrying two crabs back, Boss Fu came back empty-handed. He hadn't seen any crabs, so he simply gave up.

Boss Fu originally thought that he couldn't catch the coconut crab, but now he was shocked when he saw the two big crabs that Fu Wan poured out.

Both of these crabs are bigger than the ones he caught when he was a child!

His daughter's luck is really, awesome!

Ye Xiaocui and Shen Lingling were even more amazed when they saw it.

This crab is too big!

While the people here were still smiling happily at the coconut crabs, the roar of an engine came from the sea over there. Fu Ming and Fu Liang came back in their boat.

No one knew how successful the two men's longline fishing was today. Fu Wan and the others watched the boats approaching from far away on the sea and began to get excited.
