While the fresh seafood ship was cleaning up, Fu Dahai, Fu Xiaochuan and others also moved the remaining seafood on the deck into the cold storage.

Fang Min and Fu Qing helped in the kitchen, while Fu Ming and Fu Liang simply washed the deck.

Looking at the busy figures of the boatmen on the two boats, Fu Wan turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Before entering the kitchen, Fu Wan smelled the aroma of braised pork.

"Dad, how much rice did you cook for lunch today?"

When Boss Fu heard this, he immediately looked at Fang Min. He was busy cleaning the conger eels and did not participate in cooking.

Fang Min quickly replied, "The big rice cooker is full. I was thinking of cooking it all at once for lunch so I wouldn't have to cook it in the evening."

"That's perfect. Take a large basin and fill it with enough for four people. I'll send it to the people on the fresh food boat later."

Fang Min responded, and Fu Wan looked around at the dishes already prepared on the table.

A large basin was filled with eel stewed with potatoes, with some onions and dried chilies in it, which smelled spicy and fragrant.

Fu Wan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. Leopard moray eels are difficult to catch and are slightly poisonous, so she usually skips over them in the sea.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Fu was so good at cleaning up, and the eel meat he cooked was really tender and smooth.

"Dad, your cooking skills are pretty good!"

Boss Fu laughed happily when he heard this, "Not bad, right? I learned this myself."

When he was a child, his father didn't care about him, so he went to the sea to catch seafood and cooked it himself. The dishes he made at first were not tasty. After a few bad experiences, he also mastered the right amount of seasonings to use.

Over time, I also developed good cooking skills.

Besides the conger eel, Boss Fu was also heating up some braised pork. Ye Xiaocui had cooked this two days ago, and once it was heated until the fat turned transparent, it was ready to eat.

The hotter the braised pork is, the more fragrant it is. The aroma spread so far that even the people on the fresh food boat could smell it.

"smell good!"

Lin Wei took a deep breath. May Goddess Mazu bless him. He might be hallucinating because of hunger. How could he smell the scent of braised pork on the sea?

The other two boatmen nearby also smelled the scent, and for a moment they all put down their work. There was nothing they could do; it was just too fragrant.

Fu Huanghua thought about it and went to the cabin to take out some pancakes, which was their lunch.

"Come, we'll go back after lunch."

While the aroma of braised pork is still on the wind, eating cold pancakes will make them taste even better.

However, just as the four of them each took a piece of cake and were about to start eating, they heard Fu Wan's shouting from the Riding the Wind and Waves.

"Uncle Da Huang, I made some food on the boat. I'll put it down for you. You guys can take it!"

Lin Wei dared to swear that, except for the cry of his son when he was just born, Fu Wan's cry at this moment was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.

"This...this is so embarrassing!"

Fu Huanghua looked up at Fu Wan. The two boats were about two meters shorter than each other. Fu Wan didn't care about their politeness and simply found a clean new net bag, put the packed food bowl in it, tied a knot, and then hung it down with a hemp rope.

The things have been delivered to you. If you refuse them, you must be crazy.

Fu Huanghua thanked him, then hurriedly asked Lin Wei and the other two boatmen to take the food out of the net bag.

In order to prevent the seabirds flying in the sky from pooping everywhere, Fu Wan specially found a lid to cover the food.

When Lin Wei opened the lid, the four people on the seafood boat were all stunned.

"My God, aren't they planning to have a feast on the boat? Why are they eating so well?"

Qian Gang, one of the boatmen, exclaimed, and Shen Jian beside him nodded in agreement.

Niang La, braised pork, eel meat, and a large spoonful of red chili sauce, with a layer of crystal clear fried cabbage on the edge.

Now, they no longer remembered the pancakes in their hands, and all they could see was meat.

Fu Huanghua was the first to react. He looked up and shouted towards the Riding the Wind and Waves: "Awan, did you give us all the meat? Why is there so much?"

"Uncle, those are all yours, we still have more!"

The one who answered him was Fu Ming. Fu Wan was going to inform everyone to have dinner.

He was holding a bowl of rice and eating while shouting to the people below:

"Find some bowls and divide the food among them. Remember to return the basin to us!"

After saying that, he muttered to himself that there were only two basins on the boat. If the seafood boat took the basins away, it would be inconvenient for them to cook and serve the vegetables.

Hey, Uncle Dahuang is the same. Why not eat such delicious food quickly? If you ask more, the food will be cold.

Braised pork and fish are best enjoyed while they’re hot!

After hearing what Fu Ming said, Fu Huanghua and the others stopped asking questions. Shen Jian was the first to react and ran to the cabin to find his lunch box.

This is an aluminum lunch box specially given to him by his mother. Every time before he sets out, his mother would fill it with a box full of dried fish.

This time they had been drifting on the sea for a whole night and half a day, and the dried fish had long been eaten by him and Qian Gang.

Seeing this, Qian Gang and his companions hurried back to find something to eat. Their staple food at sea was steamed buns and flatbreads.

The fresh food boats usually go out to sea and come back on the same day, so there is not much food to eat on the boat.

Qian Gang and Lin Wei also had aluminum lunch boxes, but Fu Huanghua didn't. After thinking for a moment, he took out the large enamel jar he used to drink water.

After the four of them divided the food, the whole bowl of rice was almost full. There were still a few mouthfuls left in the bowl, which Fu Huanghua asked Shen Jian and Qian Gang to dig out and eat.

The fragrant multi-grain rice is delicious to begin with, and with so many vegetables on top and the vegetable soup soaked in the rice, Qian Gang and his friends ate it without even raising their heads.

Shen Jian was reluctant to eat the meat, so he scooped a spoonful of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth. The cabbage was so fragrant that his pupils dilated and he almost bit his tongue.

"Hmm, this cabbage, this cabbage tastes like meat! It's fried in lard!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei also ate a piece of cabbage. He was Fu San's brother-in-law, and Lin Qiuju was still feeding the child, so the food he had at Fu San's house was pretty good.

This bite made him taste some flavor.

"It's not just lard, it also smells like aniseed. This must be the lard from the braised pork. I wonder who's the chef on this ship. He's such a talent!"

The head chef, Fu Lao Da, was eating when his nose suddenly started to itch. He quickly walked to a place with few people and sneezed.

Hey, I don’t know which bastard is talking about him behind his back, making it so that he can’t even eat his meal in peace!

After lunch, the fresh-collecting ship started its diesel engine and set sail for the return trip. On the Chengfengpolang, Fu Wan and Boss Fu took a look around the cold storage. After discovering that there was at least half of the space left, they immediately discussed working at sea for a few more days.

"Awan, I think we have a lot of diesel anyway, so why don't we just stay offshore for another week and make as much money as possible on our new ship's first trip to sea!"

After hearing what Boss Fu said, Fu Wan shook her head.

"No, Dad. We have to go back in two days at most. I have something to do at the factory next week, and I have to go to Shanghai to attend a trade fair!"
