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

"Catching squid with a lantern? Where did Uncle Chen learn this skill?"

Fu Wan was extremely surprised. Logically speaking, now was not the time to develop squid fishing by light, so why did Chen Balian have such an idea?

The same thing happened with the radar network last time. Fu Wan felt that although Chen Balian was about the same age as Boss Fu, he always had some different ideas.

The most important thing is that he is particularly brave enough to try.

Boss Fu just picked up a crab leg that looked like pine flowers and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet taste made him squint his eyes.

Hearing Fu Wan's question, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"I think your Uncle Chen heard it from the other brothers. Someone in town tried it a while ago, but the kerosene lamp he used wasn't very effective.

But even so, this guy caught hundreds of pounds of squid on the net."

Having said that, Boss Fu couldn't help but stuff another crab leg into his mouth.

"This story has spread all over town. Your Uncle Chen has been at sea for so many years and often chats with other fishermen out to sea. He told me about this a while ago, and I thought it was feasible, so I decided to give it a try this time."

So that's how it is. Fu Wan thought about it. Although she had never used a light to catch squid, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. After all, squids do like light.

In fact, catching squid with lights is a very common way of catching squid in later generations, especially in the southeastern coastal areas. Many fishermen will specially prepare high-powered and strong-light fish-attracting lights to catch squid.

But it was still the 90s when technology was relatively backward. Even though it was almost , few people could afford a flashlight, let alone a fish-attracting lamp with particularly strong light.

This time, Boss Fu and Chen Balian ran all over the county, and finally found a young man in the town who had some knowledge of electrical appliances. They asked him to assemble more than ten flashlights together to make two simple fish-attracting lamps.

The sumptuous dinner swept away everyone's fatigue, and the snow crab sashimi made by Fu Wan was praised by Chen Balian and Xu Jiafu.

Xu Jiafu ate several pieces of crab leg sashimi in a row. If there weren't so many people here, he would have just held the plate and feasted on it.

Oh, you don’t even need mustard for this sashimi. Just add a little soy sauce, a bite of meat, and a little wine. Xu Jiafu is so happy that he even hums a tuneless little tune while walking.

"Niece, you're really good at making sashimi. Where did you learn this?"

To be honest, it was the first time for Xu Jiafu to eat snow crab sashimi.

Fu Wan chuckled and said, "I learned it in the restaurant."

"Jinlai Hotel?"

Xu Jiafu's eyes lit up. If Jinlai Restaurant also had it, he would bring his family there to try it.

Fu Wan shook her head, "No, it's a restaurant out of town."

Xu Jiafu was a little disappointed when he heard this. Seeing his expression, Fu Wan simply told Xu Jiafu the method of making snow crab sashimi.

The method itself is not very complicated. Xu Jiafu is very smart and can learn it in less than two minutes.

Xu Jiafu knew that the method of making sashimi was simple, but the main thing was that snow crab was hard to come by.

However, Fu Wan was determined to do a good deed. After telling him how to make sashimi, she asked him to take a few crabs back home.

Although Xu Jiafu had this plan from the beginning, he felt a little embarrassed when Fu Wanzhen did it.

Ahem, it would be better to ask for less money for the hard work of going out to sea. And Boss Fu told him that he wanted to recruit a captain, so he would help Boss Fu find someone as soon as he got back!

The final losers of the fishing competition were Fu Erlu and Li Jun. The two men kept their word and cleared away everyone's dishes after dinner.

Of course, they also had to clean the kitchen, but the two of them were not annoyed. After all, they were willing to accept the loss, and they had a happy dinner, so they were willing to clean up.

After dinner, Fu Wan and her companions followed Chen Balian back to the deck.

Everyone had heard about the fishing light project tonight while they were having dinner. But when Chen Balian pulled out two huge gadgets from the utility room, Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and the others were still stunned.

"Uncle Chen, what are you doing? Are you asking us to fire into the sea?"

Fu Ming's mouth was still able to make people laugh to death, and his interruption made the originally serious Chen Balian a little unable to hold back.

Brother Gou Wa is not that frivolous. Who does this child look like?

What Chen Balian didn't know was that when he met Boss Fu, Boss Fu had already grown up and needed to make money to support himself. He was exhausted from working hard and had no time to joke around.

If he knew Boss Fu, who was a few years older, he would find that he was exactly like Fu Ming.

"What are you talking about? It's just nonsense!"

Chen Balian glared at Fu Ming, then looked at the modified flashlight in his hand. Well, you know what, it really looked a bit like a cannon.

Seeing this, Fu Wan hurried out to smooth things over.

"Uncle Chen, you take care of the instructions. Let's try to find any squid. If not, we can change the trawl net."

Chen Balian nodded and immediately began to give orders: "A Ming, you and A Liang will be responsible for shining these two large... these two flashlights into the water. Fu Dahai and Fu Shi, you two will put out the sticky nets."

After hearing this, Fu Wan thought for a moment and added, "Let's have two people take the hand net and the cast net. Let's try it today and see if we can catch anything."

Anyway, I couldn't fall asleep right after eating, so I just used this as a pastime to help digest the food.

As soon as Chen Balian and Fu Wan finished their words, everyone started to prepare things according to their instructions.

Fu Ming and Fu Liang couldn't help but smile as they held two large flashlights. The power of more than a dozen flashlights tied together was quite large. With a flick of the switch, the sea instantly became bright.

Fu Ming and Fu Liang were very curious about the things in their hands, but despite their curiosity, they quickly followed the instructions of Chen Balian and Fu Wan. One of them shone the light over the water surface, while the other found a waterproof plastic bag to cover the flashlight and put it into the sea.

The former was Chen Balian's order, and the latter was Fu Wan's idea.

Because she was worried that the flashlight's light range was small and it would not attract squids.

Ever since the flashlight shone towards the sea, Fu Dahai and his companions had already prepared sticky nets and hand nets and were waiting.

The Chengfengpolang was sailing very slowly at this time. Even Xu Jiafu was very curious and ran over from the wheelhouse to watch this new type of fishing.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone looked at the sea intently, afraid of missing the squid that suddenly appeared.

"coming."

Fu Wan had sharp eyes and was the first to notice several dark shadows swimming towards the light, but they were not squids, but a group of mackerel and sardines.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but no one was discouraged.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a group of dense black shadows suddenly appeared in the sea. Fu Ming thought it was a school of mackerel. Just when he turned his head to ask Fu Dahai to use a hand net to catch the mackerels, Fu Wan pulled Fu Qing who was also holding a hand net.

"Get ready, the squids are coming!"
