"What are you saying? I already hit it, how could I let it get away?"
Fu Ming spoke with conviction, while Fu Wan shook her head speechlessly.
"Couldn't you have waited until it finished struggling before going over? Tsk tsk, that wound is deep. You'll be getting scolded by your mother and sister-in-law when you get back!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Good sister, you mustn't let your sister-in-law know."
I promise I'll find medicine and bandage the wound as soon as I get on the ship. By the time your sister-in-law finishes her work, the wound should be almost healed!
Fu Ming panicked. He prayed to the Goddess Mazu that his wife was already too beautiful for him.
If he were to become disfigured, wouldn't his wife despise him even more?
Thinking about it, Fu Ming deeply regretted his previous recklessness and wished he could immediately get on the boat to apply the medicine to himself.
The group didn't wait long, about ten minutes, when a familiar ship horn sounded from afar, and Fu Wan saw the "Riding the Waves" ship.
Upon spotting Fu Wan and the others, Chen Balang quickly stopped the boat near them.
Fu Wan and the others climbed up from the side of the boat, while the net at the stern was creaking and groaning as it worked.
"Ah Wan, how was your haul?"
"Very good, the fish tanks are all full!"
Fu Laoda pulled his daughter up, and when he heard Fu Wan say that the fish tank was full, he was overjoyed.
"I knew it! You guys would definitely have a great catch in the water, much more fun than fishing from a boat."
If he hadn't just fallen asleep, he definitely would have gone into the water to try his luck.
Unfortunately, Chen Balang also disagreed. If Boss Fu didn't get enough rest, then there would be no way to switch shifts with him later.
After boarding the ship, Fu Wan took the two cloth bags and returned to her cabin.
Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and Ye Lin went to change their clothes, while Boss Fu instructed Fang Min and Fu Shi to process Fu Wan and the others' loot.
Those that are alive will definitely be sent to the live water tank to be eaten slowly, while those that are killed by harpoons or spears will need to be put into cold storage to be taken back or eaten when cooking.
What required Boss Fu's personal attention was the large leopard-spotted sea eel that Fu Wan had brought back.
This eel weighs over ten pounds. After removing its mouth and internal organs, and scraping off the mucus from its body, it's enough for everyone to have a hearty meal once cooked.
Not only do the eels need to be processed, but the sea cucumbers that Fu Ming and the others picked up also need to be killed and boiled as soon as possible. Sea cucumbers need to be processed in time, otherwise once they die, their flesh will disintegrate and they will be inedible, resulting in a waste.
While Boss Fu and his group were busy processing the seafood, Fu Xiaochuan and Fu Dahai were setting up the nets.
Everyone on deck was busy working hard, while Fu Wan returned to her rest cabin and eagerly opened the large cloth bag.
These cloth bags were inconspicuous. When Fu Wan brought them onto the boat, Fu Shi and the others thought they contained tools that Fu Wan and her companions would need to go into the water.
Fu Wan untied the cloth bag and took out a small bundle wrapped in cloth.
The cloth was magical; the outer bag was dripping wet, but the inner cloth was perfectly dry, without a trace of moisture.
This fabric must have been specially designed to be waterproof.
Fu Wan untied the knot in the cloth, thinking she could see what was inside, but to her surprise, she found another piece of waterproof kraft paper.
These layers of protection only fueled Fu Wan's curiosity to its peak.
She held her breath and tore open the kraft paper. Sure enough, there were two books inside. When she saw the words written on the cover, Fu Wan's pupils dilated in disbelief.
It's actually the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic and the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases!
Fu Wan carefully flipped through it. The text inside was clearly not printed on, and she didn't know if it was one of the rare medical books she thought it was.
Besides those two medical books, there is also a book called "The Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and a list of simple and effective remedies.
And many scattered prescriptions.
Fu Wan glanced at them briefly, then carefully wrapped them again in the kraft paper and waterproof cloth.
For some reason, she felt a little heavy-hearted.
If she remembered correctly, these things were not in China in her previous life, but in museums in island nations and the United States.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been a source of pride for China for many years, but since the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Chinese medicine prescriptions have been looted and destroyed, causing Chinese medicine to stagnate.
What's even more infuriating is that some people from island nations are using traditional Chinese medicine formulas to promote acupuncture techniques and claiming it as their own country's technology internationally.
Fu Wan didn't know if these medical books had been taken away by others in her previous life and taken to Japan or the United States, but she was certain that if what she had was real, she would never let these things be taken away by outsiders again in this life!
It looks like she'll have to go find Sun Shao-ping again!
With that thought in mind, Fu Wan replaced the two cloth bags and found two scraps of cloth to wrap the items up.
The cloth with the gold needles stuck in it was quite wet, so she could only spread it out and wait for it to dry before putting it away again.
No one else would come into her rest pod, so she thought for a moment and simply placed the gold needles on the windowsill.
After finishing these tasks, Fu Wan packed the medical books into her luggage, then changed her clothes, closed the door of the rest cabin, and went out.
Before she even reached the deck, Fu Wan heard Fu Ming excitedly describing his fishing adventures.
Ye Lin would occasionally chime in, and even Fu Liang, who was usually quiet, heard Fu Wan excitedly describing his experience of picking sea cucumbers in the water.
It seems everyone had a great time on this trip.
As soon as Fu Wan appeared, Fu Ming waved for her to come over.
"Ah Wan, come quick! This net has yielded a pretty good catch!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly went over. In fact, compared to the previous nets, the seafood in this net was much inferior.
After all, there were no valuable yellow croakers or chub, nor large fish like red snapper.
The catch in this net was a bit mixed. Fu Wan spotted quite a few red pipefish, as well as two or three heavy and ugly ?????? fish.
Of course, a large net bag of seafood contained more than just fish; there were also valuable items, such as mantis shrimp and king prawns, which could be picked out in more than ten baskets.
In addition, Fu Erlu and his companions also picked out a number of palm-sized butterflyfish and golden drumfish, as well as a large basket of mudskippers.
Just then, Boss Fu shouted in this direction again.
"Ah Wan, did you stew the eel for lunch?"
"Yes, it's about time. Dad, chop it up and braise it later!"
As Fu Wan spoke, she walked towards Boss Fu's direction. It was already eleven o'clock, almost time to make lunch.
Before the net was even pulled up, Fang Min had already cooked a pot of mixed grain rice. Meanwhile, Boss Fu had chopped the eel into a bowl of eel meat.
"Hey, this eel is huge! I think we should make a braised eel with potatoes for lunch today, add some greens, and heat up a bowl of your mom's braised pork. That should be enough!"
As soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, she was about to nod when a ship suddenly sounded on the sea. Fu Wan looked up and saw a ship heading towards them!
