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

"What's going on outside!"

Ye Lin was the first to exclaim, put down his bowl and ran outside.

The others followed closely behind, and at the same time, the sounds on the deck continued to be heard, and the noise was like firecrackers, crackling and popping endlessly.

Fu Wan followed Ye Lin and when she stepped through the small door leading to the deck, she looked past Ye Lin and saw what it was.

Fish, lots of fish.

It hit the deck like rain, leaving the big guys who came rushing over stunned.

"Matsu, these are flying fish, why are they flying towards our boat?"

Fu Jinshui exclaimed, and Fu Haishun pointed at the headlight on the nail plate.

"The light for sorting fish was left on just now. These flying fish like light, so they must be coming for it."

When everyone heard this, they looked and saw that there were indeed a lot of fish under the light. It seemed that Fu Haishun was right, it was the light that attracted the fish.

Ye Lin clapped his legs and laughed, then turned to Fu Wan and said, "Awan, now you've finally earned back the money you spent on the lamp. It's worth it that you went out of your way to find someone to buy such a bright lamp."

"See, I told you I wouldn't lose money."

Fu Wan also laughed. Fu Haishun and the others were confused, so Ye Lin patiently explained to them.

The last time they went out to sea, they used a homemade flashlight headlight to catch a lot of squid, but the flashlight broke.

After returning, Fu Wan thought about it and asked Fu Lao Da and Chen Balian to go to the man and order ten more headlights. She put a few on each of the four boats, thinking of using them to catch squid again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Boss Fu not only bought a modified squid fishing light, but also replaced the lights on the deck.

It is pitch black at night when picking fish is more convenient with bright lights, and boatmen are less likely to be stung by poisonous fish.

But these lights are not cheap. The lights on the Xiangqian were bought by Fu Liang himself, while the lights on the other three ships were paid for by Fu Wan and Fu Ming.

Not to mention anything else, the lights for the Riding the Wind and Waves alone cost nearly a hundred yuan.

However, the effect of this light is very good. Once it is turned on, the deck is as bright as during the day.

When Fu Haishun and his friends were sorting out the fish earlier, they had already noticed the light. After finishing their selection, they were so captivated by the aroma of instant noodles that they forgot to turn off the light.

I didn't expect it to attract so many flying fish.

As everyone was talking, two more flying fish fell in front of Fu Wan one after another.

"Wow, it's not small!"

Fu Wan stretched out her hand and gestured. The flying fish in front of her was longer than her palm and weighed at least one kilogram.

Nice weight and good shape.

The most distinctive feature of a flying fish is its wing-like fins. This fish is slender and looks like a small glider.

Because they are born with a smooth body and wing-like fins, flying fish can accumulate energy in the water and fly at an astonishing speed after flying out of the water.

This type of fish is generally about 30 centimeters long, with a dark blue back, a silvery-white belly, and spots on its pectoral fins. The color of the pectoral fin spots varies depending on the species of flying fish.

Flying fish have a very strong tendency to attract light and like to migrate in groups. The bizarre scene on the deck at this time was obviously a school of flying fish migrating on the sea.

Calculating the time, this season is the time when flying fish breed. Thinking of this, Fu Wan instructed everyone, "It's rare for fish to come to our door on their own. Everyone, remember to keep an eye out when you catch fish later. Remember to throw any that have a big belly back into the sea."

"Hey, I got it!"

Ye Lin and the others agreed. Seeing that there were fewer flying fish flying onto the boat, everyone pulled the fish baskets and ran to pick up the fish.

The price of flying fish is actually average because the taste of fresh flying fish is not particularly good.

Fu Wan estimated that the fish would not cost more than fifty cents per pound. In fact, the price of dried flying fish was better, but Fu Wan was too lazy to bother.

It takes a lot of manpower to clean the fish and dry them. If Ye Xiaocui is willing, she can just dry some for her own consumption.

Although the meat is not particularly delicious, flying fish meat has medicinal value and is effective in treating stomach pain, hemorrhoids, etc.

Fu Wan had no interest in these flying fish, and everyone else also found it amusing. The sight of fish flying in front of them without casting a net or using bait was no different from money falling from the sky in broad daylight.

No fisherman could resist such a scene.

About half an hour later, the Chengfengpolang had sailed a long distance and might have been far away from the school of flying fish. Gradually, no more flying fish continued to fly towards the boat.

The flying fish on the deck picked up four or five baskets, weighing about two hundred pounds. Those with seeds and small ones were all thrown back into the sea.

Fu Wan glanced at her watch. The time spent on selecting fish passed quickly. It was already nearly four o'clock, and it would probably take at least two hours before the next time she had to pull up the nets.

Boss Fu and Dong Haiyang changed shifts, and Fu Haishun and others would take turns guarding the deck. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Fu Wan simply went back to sleep.

Before going to bed, she suddenly remembered the sea iron tree that Sun Youjin asked her to find.

This time when she goes out to sea, she must go into the water to help him look for him. She plans to wait until daybreak when the visibility in the water is high before going into the water to take a look.

I slept until dawn, and when the ship's bell rang again, it was almost 7 o'clock in the morning.

The dragging of the net took a while, and Boss Fu's boat was not going fast. He didn't ring the bell to call for help until the dragging net reached its limit.

After resting for most of the night, everyone was in good spirits.

When Fu Wan finished brushing her teeth and washing her face and arrived on deck, Ye Lin and others were already sorting out the fish.

The net had a pretty good harvest. Fu Wan took a look and saw that there were several hundred kilograms of swordfish alone. In addition, there were also many transparent glass squids and various miscellaneous fish.

What surprised Fu Wan even more was that those swordfish were almost all blue-spot swordfish, which had the best taste. Fu Wan was so happy that she picked up two swordfish whose stomachs had been ripped open due to being dragged for a long time, and planned to fry them and eat them with porridge.

There were not only swordfish, but also one or two baskets of pipefish and two particularly large mullet, piled on the deck, so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.

Fu Haishun got up the earliest. Last night, he and Fu Daniu took turns watching the trawl behind. These men are always busy. While watching the trawl, he ran to the side to set up a coal stove and cooked a pot of fragrant sweet potato porridge.

There were no fresh sweet potatoes on the boat, but Fu Haishun’s own dried sweet potatoes were used. They were simmered on low heat for an hour, and the sweetness of the dried sweet potatoes was incorporated into the rice.

While everyone was picking out the fish, the porridge had just gotten cold.

Fu Wan would definitely be happy if someone cooked breakfast for her. And it had to be a man from her village, someone with a keen eye for work.

Seeing that the fish were almost picked, Fu Wan carried the swordfish to the kitchen. This time, Fang Min helped her. In less than half an hour, several swordfish were turned into delicious fish meat.

After breakfast, Fu Wan took out her fishing rod. She had eaten too much and it was difficult for her to go into the water. She had to find something to do to digest her food before diving and trying her luck.
