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

"Hey, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely follow you guys no matter what!"

Village chief Fu sighed with regret. Thanks to Fu Wan, it was the first time he saw such a majestic fishing boat.

Boss Fu laughed when he heard this, "Uncle, if you want, you can come with us now!"

Village chief Fu shook his head. He still had some self-knowledge. People living by the sea have weak knees when they get old. Fu Wan bought the boat to make money by fishing, so he couldn't cause trouble for her.

Fu Wan was unaware of Village Chief Fu's regret, as she was saying goodbye to Ye Xiaocui at the moment.

Because she planned to be away for several days, Ye Xiaocui was a little worried. Fu Wan originally wanted to take her with her, but someone had to look after the chickens and ducks at home.

"I've prepared over ten pounds of Chinese cabbage, pork, and spareribs for you, both cooked and raw. You must eat them on board in time. Don't forget to eat when you get busy."

Fu Wan held her hand and patted it comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know all this. There are so many people on the boat, how could we forget to eat?

As for you, you should be careful at home. Or you can stay in my house. Wangcai is a good gatekeeper and most people don't dare to go in!"

"Okay, okay, I know about this. Your third uncle and the neighbors are all here. Besides, I'm not someone you can mess with!"

As a girl from a hunter family, Ye Xiaocui is quite courageous. When Fu Wan and the others are not at home, she always keeps a knife in her room.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Boss Fu gave a call and everyone got on board.

The whistle of the big ship sounded different from that of an ordinary small fishing boat. As a dull sound rang out, the Riding the Wind and Waves slowly sailed away from the dock.

Fu Wan and others stood on the deck and watched the people on the dock slowly turn into small black dots. Only after the dock blended into the sea level and could no longer be seen did she let Fu Ming, Fu Liang and others go and distribute the rest cabins.

The rest cabins of this ship are all on the second floor. Fu Wan discussed with Fu Ming and decided to use the middle staircase as the dividing line. The left side is for the male crew members, and the right side is the territory for the female crew members.

Because Fu Wan had taken a look around in advance, she found that the rest cabin on the right was larger and even had the option of single and double beds.

The most important thing is that the rest cabin on the right has a separate bathroom, which is much more convenient for female comrades who love cleanliness.

Fu Ming and his friends had no requirements for left or right side, because in their opinion, having a place to sleep was enough.

Fu Xiaochuan walked around the cabin, his face filled with excitement. It's no exaggeration to say that after more than a decade of living in a shared bunk bed with his brothers, this was the first time he had his own bed!

Even if the bed was just an ordinary iron bed, at least no one would kick him off while sleeping.

Seeing the men so excited, Fu Wan remembered something and pulled Fu Ming over to remind him, "Brother, you have to tell them that they need to pay attention to their personal hygiene. I don't want the whole ship to smell like stinky feet!"

Fu Ming touched his nose and laughed twice, then patted his chest and made a promise.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on this. If anyone dares to enter the room without washing their feet, I'll throw them into the sea, wash them clean, and then pull them out!"

Fu Wan also laughed when she heard this. This was too exaggerated. If she knew that he was joking, she would think that he was trying to kill her for money.

Fu Wan had already chosen her own rest cabin. This ship was built with imported materials and the windows were particularly large.

She put her luggage in and then sat down comfortably by the window.

The weather was good at that time, and the waves on the sea were small. Because the ship had a deep draft, the shaking when sailing was not particularly obvious.

After admiring the sea view for a while, Fu Wan made another pot of honey water and then walked towards the main steering room.

Before she even walked into the door of the wheelhouse, she heard the voices of Boss Fu and Chen Balian chatting with others.

"I'm not saying anything, but if it weren't for Brother Xu, we really wouldn't be able to sail this boat."

"Yeah, I can't even recognize all the words on this console. Brother Xu, how many years have you worked in the shipyard?"

"Haha, I've been in the shipyard for almost twenty years. I'm not bragging, I've built hundreds, if not thousands, of ships."

Fu Wan heard clearly that the person who spoke last was Xu Jiafu, whom Fu Lao Da had abducted onto the boat.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Fu Wan did not disturb them. Just then, Ye Lin and others put their things down, so she asked them to move out the trawl and prepare to put it down when they arrived at the destination.

"Awan, do you want to prepare for longline fishing now?"

There was no need for so many people to trawle the net, so Fang Min started looking for something to do for herself.

Fu Wan glanced at the sun in the sky. It was still very bright at this time, and the temperature of the sea water was probably not low. At this time, the sea fish preferred to hide in the reef area to rest.

So she shook her head and said, "Don't release it now, but you can prepare the bait first, and we can set the hooks and ropes after dark."

"also."

Fang Min nodded in agreement, turned around and took Fu Qing to prepare the bait.

Knowing that they were going out to sea today, Ye Xiaocui went to the dock early in the morning and bought nearly ten kilograms of small fish and shrimp.

This stuff is also cheap, five cents per pound, and ten pounds is only fifty cents.

The whole fish is not fishy enough, so Fu Wan is used to cutting the fish in half and then piling them in a bucket for a few hours, and then the fishy smell will come up.

The stronger the smell, the more the fish in the sea like it.

While we were busy here, Boss Fu's shout suddenly came from the door of the main control room.

"Awan, come here for a moment."

Fu Wan responded and walked quickly over to the wheelhouse, where there was still a lingering smell of smoke.

I guess Boss Fu knew that she didn't like the smell of smoke, so he opened the door in advance to dissipate the smell.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Boss Fu waved her over and pointed to the red dot on the console.

"Awan, take a look at the map. This is our first time sailing on a new ship. Where should we go to test the net?"

This topic was also discussed by Boss Fu and others just now.

But they had different opinions. Chen Balian wanted to try his luck at the place where he had caught hairtail before, while Fu Lao Da preferred to trawl in the deep sea.

Xu Jiafu supported both ideas. After all, he was only responsible for keeping an eye on the control panel. As long as the ship could operate normally, he could go anywhere.

Unable to make a decision, Boss Fu could only find Fu Wan. After all, the boat belonged to Fu Wan, and she had the final say on where to cast the first net.

Fu Wan looked at the various data on the control panel and saw that this ship was not only large, but also equipped with detectors that were relatively rare in this era.

This detector can not only detect the water depth of the sea area during driving, but also detect whether there are reefs or fish schools under the boat.

According to Xu Jiafu, this thing was brought by the Soviet ship itself, and the principle of the detector was very simple, which was to use echoes and small sonar to obtain data on the seabed.

However, this technology was not particularly mature in the 1980s, and sometimes there were problems with position deviation and inaccurate data.

And even if it can detect schools of fish on the seabed, the display screen cannot show the specific fish species. But for Boss Fu and his friends, this is already very advanced.

Fu Wan observed the data for a few minutes and found that there were basically no schools of fish in this area, only a few scattered fish spots.

"How about we go to the high seas and try it?"
