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

Chapter 754: Fishing for Oysters at Midnight

The next morning, after Fu Wan dropped her child off, she went to explore the fish farm. Jiang Wanghai had already been rowing with Fu Jian to observe the area, and when he saw Fu Wan approaching, he quickly told her about the past two days.

"Comrade Xiaofu, these fish are adapting well. A few have died, but that's still within my budget."

Fu Wan went on board and took a look around. Those fish and shrimps that could not adapt to the fish were caught by Jiang Wanghai with a hand net, for fear that leaving them in the sea would affect other fish.

There was no sign of other living fish or shrimp, but scallops and oysters could be seen hanging in the sea.

Jiang Wanghai and Fu Jian were looking after the farm, so Fu Wan felt relieved.

On her way back, she ran into Fu Liang, who was carrying a net. Fu Wan couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Liang, are you...going out to sea?"

Fu Liang laughed and said, "Haha, when I came back last night, I heard someone say there were a lot of oysters near the coast. Ah Ming and I went out in the early morning to pull a few nets, hoping to make some money to add to the dishes at home!"

The oysters in this season are the most plump. In addition to the oysters that are occasionally brought ashore by the sea, there are piles of oysters on the seabed.

These oysters live on the seabed for a long time and feed on plankton and seaweed in the sea. However, oysters are not as sweet as raw oysters and are not expensive.

Fu Liang didn't deliberately not tell Fu Wan about the oysters, but he knew that she would not look down on such cheap oysters.

He also suddenly had an idea in the early morning, and then called Fu Ming. The two brothers drove Xiangqian out to fish for half the night.

Although he was very sleepy at the moment, Fu Liang felt very happy.

Because, in addition to oysters, they also caught a large bucket of sea cucumbers!

Oysters are not valuable, but sea cucumbers are valuable!

However, there were many people coming and going on the road now, so Fu Liang could only whisper to Fu Wan about their gains while walking.

There were some rocks when the oysters were fished out, so Fu Ming was still dealing with them on the boat. Fu Liang planned to take a few more axes while he came back to put out the fishing nets.

Although Fu San collects oysters, he does not collect those with stones.

Since there was nothing else to do, Fu Wan simply went back to say goodbye to Ye Xiaocui and went to the pier.

The pier was still very busy at around nine o'clock.

Fu Ming brought a small stool and sat on the deck, using an axe to remove the stones from the oyster shells.

Fu San was collecting sea cucumbers on the boat next door. Fu Wan went over to take a look and found that these sea cucumbers were indeed very fat.

"Uncle San, what's the price of sea cucumbers now?"

"Sea cucumbers, 20 heads are 6 yuan per pound, 40 heads are 4 yuan, around 60 heads are 3 yuan per pound, and those under 60 heads..."

Fu San said a series of words like an announcer, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and turned around to see Fu Wan's smiling face.

"Hey, Awan, why are you here?"

"I heard from Brother Liang that they went out to catch some oysters, so I came over to take a look."

Fu San disagreed, "Oysters are not valuable, only Aliang and his friends brought back a large quantity.

Awan, you don’t know, when I first saw Xiangqian coming back, I thought you guys went out to sea last night!"

But when he saw that there was only one ship, the Xiangqian, he was immediately disappointed.

Fortunately, Fu Ming also had about thirty or forty kilograms of sea cucumbers, and basically about sixty of them. That is to say, in addition to oysters, Fu Ming and his team also made more than a hundred yuan from sea cucumbers alone.

Compared with going out to sea, this number may not be high, but this time it was Fu Liang and Fu Ming who went out to sea, so they were both quite satisfied.

Hearing his sister's familiar voice, Fu Ming looked up and searched the crowd for a while. After seeing Fu Wan's figure, he couldn't wait to wave to Fu Wan.

"Awan, come here quickly!"

"coming!"

Fu Wan responded and then stepped onto the deck.

The deck was littered with oysters, and the mud and sand on it were a nuisance to the feet.

Fu Ming was wearing a pair of thick gloves, and in front of him were processed oysters.

Fu Wan picked up one and weighed it. Wow, each one weighed at least half a pound.

Just now she saw that Fu San also accepted oysters from others. Oysters with shells were cheaper, and Fu San accepted them at 1 cent per pound.

"Brother, you guys went out to sea secretly without telling me?"

Fu Ming felt a little embarrassed, "Hey, it was too late last night, and we were afraid to disturb your rest!"

And they didn't run very far. The place where they caught oysters was only a few hundred nautical miles away from the pier.

Fu Wan didn't really blame him. Looking at the dark circles under Fu Ming's eyes, she knew that he was very tired.

When she learned that Fu Ming had not had breakfast yet, she ran to the nearby breakfast stall and bought him two meat buns and a cup of soy milk.

Fu Ming was deeply moved and was about to say something when Ye Xiaocui, Jiang Chunlan and others arrived.

"Ah Ming, weigh these processed oysters first, and we'll take care of the rest."

As soon as Ye Xiaocui got on the boat, she started giving orders. She had just learned from her old sister in the morning that her son had gone to catch oysters. She had wanted to complain to Fu Ming for not informing his family, but when she saw so many oysters waiting to be processed, she forgot all the complaints.

"Awan, Awan! Come with me to check on the fresh food boat! The guy who's assembling the cold storage is here!"

Fu Ming shouted from under the boat, and Fu Wan hurriedly responded when she heard it.

"coming!"

After saying that, she turned around and said to Ye Xiaocui and the others, "Mom, I'll go over and take a look."

"Hey, good!"

Jiang Chunlan didn't know about the fresh food collection boat yet, and was very confused when she heard it. Ye Xiaocui told her about it while she was working. Jiang Chunlan and Wang Cuiping listened and admired Fu Wan very much.

If they can think of this, no wonder they can make a lot of money!

The renovation of the fresh-catch ship takes about a week. All the trawl equipment on the ship needs to be dismantled and the cold storage needs to be expanded.

Fu Wan discussed with Fu San and planned to change the net lifting machine into a crane. In case they encountered heavier fish that could not be moved by humans, they could use the machine.

It cost one thousand to buy the boat and another one thousand to renovate it.

If this business hadn't taken off yet, Fu Wan would have wanted to simply go to the shipyard and order a larger ship.

After agreeing with the owner of the ship modification company to deliver the goods and pay the balance in a week, Fu Wan went home carrying the oysters picked by Ye Xiaocui.

As a result, before she reached home, she was stopped by Wang Xiuer who came to look for her.

"Awan, the village committee has your phone number!"

"Auntie, did you say who it was?"

Wang Xiuer wiped the sweat from her forehead and tried to recall, "I think he said he was from the cannery and wanted to see you for something!"

Cannery?

Fu Wan's heart moved. Could it be that what she said to Wang Jianmin yesterday came true?

Fu Wan threw the oyster bucket to the ground and then hurried to the village committee.

After the call was connected, Wang Jianmin's laughter was indeed heard from the other end.

"Haha, Director, please come over here quickly! The food factory is really going to sell the factory, and they also say the land of the Six Star Cannery is for sale!"
