Looking at the dark black-haired fish, Fu Wan and Fu Ming suddenly understood.

No wonder they didn’t see the fish at first. It was so dark and late at night that only sharp eyes could see it.

The big fish was caught, and Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu jumped for joy.

"We said it's a big fish, so it's a big fish!"

"Yes, it's a big fish!"

Fu Ming smiled and praised, "Lingling and Mingzhu are amazing. They actually found a big fish!"

The commotion here attracted Ye Xiaocui and a few others who had just picked up the conches and were about to pack up and go home.

Just at this time, Boss Fu arrived on a motorcycle. Hearing the laughter of Fu Ling and the others, he stopped the motorcycle and walked over.

"Wow, this black hair is nice!"

After saying that, he walked forward, pinched the fish's belly, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really fat. Do you have a knife? I'll bleed it here."

Upon hearing this, Fu Wan hurriedly handed over the knife. Black-haired fish are difficult to raise. After catching them, they must be bled while they are still alive. Otherwise, once the fish is dead, it will not taste good when eaten.

Boss Fu did what he said and killed the fish directly by pressing it on the reef. While busy with the fish, he did not forget to turn around and ask the others about their fishing progress.

"How was your harvest at the sea?"

Fu Wan replied, "Not bad, Dad, you'll know when you see it later."

Upon hearing this, Boss Fu quickened his movements. It was easy to bleed the black-haired fish. He would first stab the fish's brain with a knife. This method would allow the fish to quickly die.

There is a saying in Fujia Village that when killing sea fish, it must be killed as quickly as possible, otherwise the fish will struggle for a long time and the taste of the fish meat will not be particularly good.

In fact, this statement has scientific basis. Fu Wan had read in a magazine that fish tastes good because it contains a substance called APT, or adenosine triphosphate.

If a fish struggles for a long time, the APT in the fish meat will decrease. As a result, after the fish is slaughtered, there will not be enough APT to convert into inosinic acid, which has a rich taste, and the fish meat will become unpalatable.

Boss Fu drained the blood of the black-haired fish in just a few moves, while Fu Wan and the others loaded the spicy snails and other seafood onto the tricycle.

Boss Fu put the black-haired fish aside and cleaned the blood stains on the knife in the trench.

Suddenly, something flew across the water, and Boss Fu's hand plunged into the water like lightning. When it came out, he was holding a conger eel in his hand.

"Haha, look at what this is?!"

Boss Fu laughed heartily. He really didn't expect that he could catch a conger eel while washing his knife.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, who were watching Boss Fu killing the fish, were stunned.

"Wow, Grandpa, you're so awesome!"

Neither of them realized there was such a big moray eel in the trench!

Hearing the children's exclamations, Boss Fu was so proud.

He is an experienced fisherman with two lifetimes of experience. He can tell what is happening in the water just by touching it.

This conger eel must have been attracted by the bloody smell of the black hair fish. Fu Wan and the others had been making a fuss in the trench for so long without scare it out, but the fishy smell lured it out.

Fu Wan heard the noise and looked over. Coincidentally, the conger eel caught by Boss Fu was also black.

To be exact, it should be black and green.

This is not an ordinary conger eel, but an eel, also called an eel?. Locally, it has a nickname, called Little Green Dragon.

This little green dragon is definitely not a lobster, but because it is black and green all over and has a ferocious personality, it is somewhat similar to a dragon when swimming in the sea.

In fact, eels are not all black and green. This fish has many colors, including green, gray, brown and even black and blue.

This kind of fish can change its body color according to the surrounding environment habits on the seabed. Young eels have a white line from head to tail. As their bodies grow larger, this line will also turn into vertical stripes.

In addition, there are many spots on the fish body.

Unlike ordinary conger eels, the moray eel has a pair of fins on its abdomen and a broad dorsal fin on its back, just like the oarfish.

Eels grow very slowly. An adult eel can grow to about 1.5 meters. The one caught by Boss Fu is less than 1 meter long.

This was the first time Fu Wan saw an eel. Although it looked like a dragon, Fu Wan actually thought it looked more like a black fish in a freshwater pond.

It is said that braised eel tastes good, but I don’t know if it can be used to make pickled fish like black fish.

Thinking of the delicious pickled fish, Fu Wan suddenly felt a little hungry.

It seems that this nearly two-hour trip to the beach has almost digested the dinner in my stomach.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were yawning.

Everyone counted the harvest from this sea-hunting trip again. Fu Wan's family picked up one and a half buckets of fragrant snails, three buckets of spicy snails, and half a bucket of red snails.

There was also half a bucket of razor clams, horseshoe snails and cow-eye snails. In addition, Ye Xiaocui also caught a basin of jumping fish from the mudflats.

This thing looks small, but if you take it home, clean it up, coat it with batter and fry it, the aroma will definitely attract the kids next door.

Fu Liang's family also gained a lot, after all, Jiang Chunlan and Wang Huiping never stopped.

Although they didn't pick many snails, they still filled a basin. They also collected a large bucket of ox-eye snails, and two more buckets of spicy snails and red snails.

Of course, Jiang Chunlan did not let go of the mudflat fish. The old sister had a great time catching them on the mudflat before. She caught them non-stop and only threw them into the basin when her hands could no longer hold them.

There were also a few sea cucumbers and crabs, which the two families divided in half, then got on their bicycles to go back.

Boss Fu was responsible for riding a tricycle to bring the seafood back home, while Fu Wan rode a motorcycle to take Jiang Chunlan, Ye Xiaocui and the two children back.

Fortunately, the two elders and the child were all thin and small, so the motorcycle was not overloaded.

As for Fu Ming and Fu Liang, they had to ride bicycles. Fu Ming had all kinds of tools for fishing tied to the back of his bicycle, while Fu Liang had his wife on the back seat.

The group returned quite late. When passing by the beach, Fu Wan took a special look. There were fewer people on the beach. They probably all went back to sleep.

After arriving home, Boss Fu did not rush to unload the goods. Instead, he waited for Fu Wan and the others to arrive and asked them to see which ones were for their own consumption and had to be reserved.

The black hair fish and eel must be left behind, half a bucket of fragrant snails is packed out, two bowls of spicy snails and red snails are also taken out, and the clams and crabs are also eaten at home.

All the remaining spicy snails and other things were taken to Fu San.

The same thing happened to Fu Liang's family. They also kept a small half bucket of fragrant snails and red snails, thinking that in addition to eating them themselves, they would send some to Wang Huiping's parents' home tomorrow.

After dividing the things, everyone went home.

Boss Fu took the remaining seafood to Fu San's house, and Fu Wan took Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu back.

Everyone went back and fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed. However, at this time, in a town not far from Fujia Village, some people couldn't sleep.
