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

"What, going to the high seas?!"

Chen Balian was the first to exclaim in shock, Boss Fu fell into deep thought, and Xu Jiafu, who was standing beside him, looked at Fu Wan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

This girl is quite brave!

You have to know that it is not so easy to go to the high seas these days, because the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the high seas, although reviewed and approved in 1982, has not yet been implemented.

There are many unruly monsters on the high seas. Apart from those people, the only formal ones operating on the high seas are the large ocean-going fleets of various countries.

So when Fu Wan suggested going to the high seas, Chen Balian was the first to object.

"Awan, the high seas are not like ours. It's too dangerous. We can't go there."

He habitually took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but Boss Fu next to him grabbed his hand that was taking out a match.

Why are you smoking? Don’t you see his daughter is here?

But Boss Fu also disagreed with going to the high seas.

"Awan, I also think we shouldn't go to the high seas. This is our first time sailing this boat, and it wouldn't be a good idea to rush around recklessly."

Since both elders disagreed, Fu Wan had no choice but to give up this decision.

She wanted to go to the high seas, actually because she thought that the camp and the coast guard had caught all the pirates a while ago, and the fish resources on the high seas might be more abundant.

But no one agreed, so she could only wait until the boat driving technology was mature before she could think about it.

"Then let's tow it around the high seas, a few hundred nautical miles south. We haven't done any operations there yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Fu and Chen Balian breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Fu Wan would not listen to their advice and insist on going to the high seas.

"Okay, we'll keep an eye on this place. Let the guys rest for a while, and then we can trawl the net once we get there."

Fu Wan agreed and turned around to inform everyone who had made preparations.

The time on the boat was actually very boring. Apart from fishing, they basically just slept. Fu Ming originally planned to get a deck of playing cards on board to kill time, but after being discovered by Fu Wan, she warned them not to gamble or play cards.

Because many people easily get emotional when playing cards. If they lose a lot of money gambling and get into a conflict on the ship, it is very dangerous at sea.

After hearing what Fu Wan said, Fu Ming had no choice but to give up. He was bored anyway, so it would be more reliable to sleep. After all, he could work well at night only if he was in good spirits.

Fu Wan also went into the room and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

She went down to the first floor and entered the wheelhouse. At this moment, Chen Balian was driving the boat, and Boss Fu was drinking tea beside him.

"Uncle Chen, are we at our destination yet?"

"It's almost time, about ten minutes left, Awan, the terrain in this sea area is pretty good, tell everyone to get ready to go online!"

At first, Chen Balian couldn't understand the data on the display screen. It was only after Xu Jiafu patiently taught him several times that he and Boss Fu finally understood it.

To be honest, Fu Wan had thought about sending Fu Lao Da and Chen Balian to take the captain's certificate exam before, but the thing these two people hated most was reading books and learning to read, so when they heard that they had to take an exam, they immediately shook their heads like rattles.

They are both old, and they plan to retire and go home in five or six years at most.

So Fu Wan could only plan to let Fu Ming and Fu Liang take the captain and crew certificate exams. Of course, she also had to take the exam herself.

These days, there is actually no requirement for certificates for fishermen going out to sea. After all, most fishermen work near the coast. But Fu Wan bought a big boat, so she has to go deep-sea fishing, so it never hurts to learn more.

Fu Wan glanced at the blue display screen. The water here was much deeper than the sea a few hours ago, almost two hundred meters. There were also many white spots at the bottom of the screen, which meant there were schools of fish.

It has been almost a week since she last went out to sea. Seeing so many schools of fish, Fu Wan was inexplicably excited.

She hurried out of the wheelhouse and pressed the button for the ship's bell outside the wheelhouse.

As a shrill bell rang, the crew members who were sleeping in the rest cabin heard the noise and went downstairs.

Fu Ming and Fu Liang ran the fastest. As soon as they came down, they yawned and asked if it was time to get off the net.

Fu Wan responded, and then arranged for those who were going to cast nets to cast nets, and those who were going to cast longlines to cast longlines.

Of course, she was not idle either. She took Fang Min and Fu Qing to turn out all the bamboo tubes, and then placed them in strings along the side of the boat.

"Awan, can we catch the octopus by putting the bamboo tube down?"

Fu Qing asked Fu Wan while putting the bamboo tubes away. Fu Wan nodded. Unexpectedly, after putting all the bamboo tubes away, Fu Qing ran out a sack from somewhere. Fu Wan was wondering what it was, but when she got closer, she saw that it was a pile of conch shells.

"Awan, look, this can also catch octopuses!"

She held up the conch shell as if presenting a treasure. Fu Wan looked at it and was immediately amazed.

"Ah Qing, you are so smart. Who taught you this?"

Fu Qing pointed at himself, with a look of pride on his face that was hard to conceal.

"It was Ah Qing's own idea!"

At this time, Fang Min also put all the bamboo tubes and floats at hand into the water. Seeing Fu Qing take out the conch, she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's been hot lately and we're worried about snakes, so Aunt Wang didn't let A-Qing go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. I don't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly ran to the beach and picked up a lot of snail shells."

Most of these snail shells were hermit crab shells. Fu Qing picked up the big ones, rinsed them, and then got a nail from somewhere and started drilling holes in the snail shells.

But she didn't use much strength when she hit the conch shell. With one blow of the brick, the nail went straight through the conch shell, and the conch shell immediately broke into several pieces.

Fang Min couldn't bear it anymore, so she helped her put the shells in water, using the water pressure to reduce the pressure on the nails, and only then was she able to drill holes in all the shells.

After the holes were made in the snail shells, Fu Qing asked Wang Xiuer for a bundle of hemp rope, and then pulled Fang Min to string the snail shells together.

In fact, this is based on the same principle as Fu Wan’s bamboo tube trap, except that the space inside the bamboo tube is larger, allowing larger and more octopuses to fit in.

Although the space of Fu Qing's conch trap is not as large as that of the bamboo tube trap, it is more than enough to accommodate a smaller octopus.

Fu Qing was eager to try out the conch trap she had prepared. Seeing that she had not tied a float on it yet, Fu Wan went to the pile of groceries and found a few floats to tie on for her.

After completing these, Fu Qing was allowed to put the conch trap into the sea with his own hands.

We’ll know whether we’ve gained anything or not when they come over tomorrow morning.

After a quick drag of the net, nothing else to do, Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and Ye Lin spent half an hour observing the rudder room, then went to the kitchen to heat up some food.

There was no fresh fish or shrimp in this meal, only the braised pork and dried fish and vegetables prepared by Ye Xiaocui. After a simple dinner and a short sleep, it was time to get up the net.

The trawl net of the "Riding the Wind and Waves" was much larger than that of the "Full Load", so the trawl time was also longer.

It took four hours to drag the net. Seeing a huge net bag slowly rising from the sea, everyone on the boat couldn't help but get excited.
