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

Perhaps because she had spent a lot of energy in the water before, Fu Wan fell asleep after arranging Su Ran's sleeping position.

Fang Min and the others also knew that she was very tired. After looking at each other, they tried not to make any sound.

When Fu Wan opened her eyes, took out the watch from her pocket and looked at it by the kerosene lamp beside her, it was already past five in the morning.

She stretched and stood up. Su Ran was still sleeping. Fu Wan quietly picked up the coat from the bedside and put it on.

When she walked out of the cabin, a sea breeze blew towards her, and Fu Wan's remaining sleepiness was instantly swept away. Fang Min and others were indeed on the deck. Li Jun was washing the fish. When he saw Fu Wan coming, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Awan, are you awake?"

"Yes, Brother Dajun, how was your harvest last night?"

Normally, trawling takes three hours at most. She went into the cabin to sleep at 11 o'clock last night, and she has already hauled up the net at least twice.

Li Jun smiled innocently and said, "Not bad, there are quite a lot of fish and crabs. I don't know much about sea fish, but A-Lin said there are quite a few valuable ones."

Fu Wan glanced around after hearing that. Li Jun was washing crabs and some sea fish that had died as soon as they came ashore. Next to him were two baskets of hatchet fish that looked good. Each one looked to be about two or three pounds.

Axefish, also known as horsehead fish or tilefish, have an elongated, flattened body and a rather unusual square head shape, somewhat resembling an axe or horse's head.

The hatchetfish is brightly colored, with a conspicuous red back, a common white belly, some yellow pectoral fins, and a tail that is half yellow and half gray-blue, which looks very beautiful.

This fish feeds on small fish, shrimp, and snails and is found in all major waters of my country. Its meat is very tender, and its scales are relatively thin, making it very crispy and delicious when fried.

Of course, steamed fish tastes great too. However, this fish is definitely not as good as grouper, but because it tastes good and is affordable, it has a very high cost performance.

The hatchet fish caught by trawl is of lower quality, estimated at 40 to 50 cents per pound. The hatchet fish caught by longline fishing is more expensive, around 70 cents.

Fu Wan glanced at the hatchet fish in the fish basket, and finally couldn't help but picked up two that looked undamaged.

"Brother A-Lin, this fish is good. Please help me clean it up and add it to everyone's breakfast later!"

Ye Lin agreed immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, wait until I finish casting the last extended line!"

Then he washed his hands in the bucket next to him. Fang Min, who was busy in the cubicle, heard the noise and stuck her head out to greet Fu Wan.

"Awan, let's have porridge in the morning. Aqing and I cooked a lot."

"Drink porridge? Sure, put some shrimp and crab in it. Everyone's been tired all night, so they need some nourishment!"

After saying that, she also walked into the compartment. As soon as she entered, she saw Fu Qing stirring the pot beside her with a big iron spoon. Fang Min had guessed that Fu Wan wanted to put crabs in it, and even prepared the crabs and shrimps.

There are definitely fewer shrimps, as they are more expensive than stone crabs. These crabs were specially selected by Fang Min and were caught without claws.

The fragrant rice porridge kept boiling in the pot. White rice was precious, so Fang Min and Fu Qing also added a lot of corn kernels and brown rice.

Seeing that the rice grains were almost blooming, Fu Wan asked Fang Min to pour the shrimps and crabs in. Of course, she also did not forget to add a few shreds of ginger to remove the fishy smell.

As soon as he finished his work here, Ye Lin also cleaned up the two axe fish. The coal stove was ready. Fu Wan picked up another steel pot, put a plate upside down on the bottom of the pot, and then added water to prepare to steam the fish.

Although she would rather eat fried food, the conditions on the boat are limited, so she'd better wait until she gets home from the sea to fry the fish.

As the aroma of fish wafted out, everyone gathered around. Fu Ming was the one driving the boat. He had taken over from Fu Lao Da at three in the morning. Fu Erlu and Fu Lao Da had been hauling the nets together, and they were busy until four o'clock when Ye Lin and Li Jun took over, and then they went into the cabin to sleep.

The aroma of seafood porridge woke Su Ran and Su Jianshe, who were also hungry. They both quickly got dressed and came out. Seeing that breakfast was already prepared, Su Ran felt a little embarrassed.

I said I would go on board to help, but not only did I sleep until dawn, I even had someone else make breakfast for me.

However, Su Ran was also a straightforward person, and he went to the side to get an empty bowl without any hesitation.

As she filled the seafood porridge, she turned to Fu Wan and the others and said, "Let me make a deal, I'll clean up the bowls later, and you can't steal from me."

There was no way Fu Wan would really let her do the work, but considering Su Ran's face, she just smiled and agreed.

"Okay, I definitely won't fight with you. But we have a rule on the boat that you have to wash your own bowl. I can't do anything about it."

"Then...then I'll wash the pot!"

Su Ran was not stupid. He took a quick look and shouted out hurriedly.

Fu Wan's face was filled with regret when she heard this. "You can't even wash the pot. My father and Erlu haven't gotten up yet, and I need to keep the porridge warm for them."

Su Ran felt a little discouraged after hearing this. Could he just go on the boat and let others take care of him?

"Haha, don't worry," Fu Wan said with a smile, "Su Ran, you'll be busy soon. Do you see that light over there? It's such a beautiful sunrise over the sea. Isn't it worth taking a picture of it and putting it in the newspaper?"

Su Ran held the bowl and looked in the direction Fu Wan pointed. It was almost half past five. The gray-blue sky and the sea were a perfect blend, which looked really beautiful.

Many seabirds flew up and down over the sea. Where the sky met the sea, orange light emanated from a cluster of clouds, dyeing the entire sky red.

So beautiful, the sun is coming out!

Su Ran was shocked. She had never seen such a beautiful sunrise over the sea. No, she had lived in the city for so long that she never had the chance to see the sunrise!

Su Jianshe was also shocked by the scenery. He quickly put down the bowl in his hand and ran towards the cabin.

But after taking two steps, he realized that the camera was in Su Ran's cabin, where only girls lived, and it seemed inappropriate for him to go in!

"Xiao Ran, stop eating and go get the camera!"

Seeing that his sister was still holding the bowl and watching the sunrise, Su Jianshe shouted hurriedly.

"Oh oh oh, it's coming, it's coming!"

Su Ran took a big gulp of the porridge in her hand. Wow, she had never tasted such delicious porridge. Although it was basically made of coarse grains, the freshness and sweetness of the shrimps and crabs in it was really fascinating!

No matter how fascinated she was, she couldn't forget the important things. Su Ran put down the bowl and ran into the cabin. The film from yesterday was all used up, so she could only grit her teeth and replace it with a new film.

This film was newly bought with her salary and could take sixty photos, but Su Ran had a vague feeling that the film she brought was definitely not enough!

When Su Ran ran out with the camera, Fu Wan and others were still drinking porridge and admiring the sunrise. Su Jianshe took the camera, and Su Ran was reluctant to give it up.

She warned him distressedly, "Brother, please aim carefully before pressing the shutter. I'm running out of film!"

"What? Weren't there still a lot yesterday?"

"Yesterday... that white humpback whale was so cute, I couldn't help but take a couple more pictures..."
