Fu Wan thought for a moment. The fish fry and Jiang Wanghai wouldn't arrive until the day after tomorrow, and she would be busy with aquaculture afterwards, so she might not have time.
Those fish traps and bamboo tubes cannot be left in the sea for too long, otherwise the fish inside will easily rot and stink if they die.
"Dad, what's the weather like tomorrow?"
Fu Laoda recalled the weather forecast he had seen yesterday and immediately replied, "Hmm... it looks like it'll be cloudy. I wonder if it will be windy at sea."
"Let's set it for tomorrow then. If the wind isn't too strong tomorrow, we'll set sail on the 'Sailing Ship'."
Boss Fu nodded in agreement. The "Fully Loaded Back" was too conspicuous. If it were driven out, everyone would definitely gather around to see what they had gained.
After saying this, Boss Fu carried his hoe and went out with peace of mind.
With the weather finally warming up, the previously fertile land needs to be turned over and other things planted.
Fu Wan sat in the yard fiddling with the harpoon she had used before. The tip of the harpoon was a little worn from the last time it was used in the water, so she had to sharpen it first to make it easier to use next time.
"Hey, Wan, you're home!"
Fu Wan looked up at the sound and saw that it was Fu San, who had been busy all morning and had come to talk to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan immediately greeted him with a smile, "Haha, I'm fixing a harpoon right now, Uncle, come in quickly!"
Ye Xiaocui was cleaning the chicken coop in the backyard when she heard the commotion in the front yard. She quickly came over to check the situation and smiled when she saw it was Fu San.
"Hey San, you've been busy until now, haven't you had lunch yet?"
"Sister-in-law, I've already eaten, hehe, I'm going to check the accounts with Awan!"
Upon hearing that it was a reconciliation of accounts, Ye Xiaocui dusted herself off and hurriedly washed her hands.
The outcome of the first voyage after the Lunar New Year was crucial, and she wanted to see what the situation would be like.
Fu Wan poured Fu San a glass of water, then went inside to retrieve yesterday's purchase order.
Fu San took a sip of water and, seeing this, also took out his notebook.
"The overall prices are about the same, but the price of those few tuna is wrong. Oh, Wan, I'm not trying to be rude, but those tuna are very popular. Those bosses from the city almost fought tooth and nail to get them!"
Fu Wan laughed upon hearing this: "Really? By the way, Uncle, did you inform Mr. Sun Youjin before you sold the tuna?"
"I've notified you, I've notified you. I will definitely keep your instructions in mind."
Fu Wan was relieved to hear this. She had told Sun Youjin that she would let him know if there were any good products, and that was definitely not an empty promise.
Speaking of Sun Youjin, Fu San clicked his tongue in amazement, "Awan, how come all the bosses from Beijing are so wealthy?"
"He wants both blue-finned golden spears, fine, but he also wants to take all the other yellow-finned golden spears for himself!"
I had to beg and plead to get them to keep two of them; otherwise, the other bosses would be nagging me again!
Fu Wan sensed something was amiss and quickly asked, "Then the price Mr. Sun offered must not be low, right?"
She knew her third uncle well enough. Even though she had made arrangements, Fu San wouldn't sell several golden spears to Sun Youjin if the price wasn't right.
Sure enough, Fu San chuckled twice, "Haha, you guessed it right, that Boss Sun is indeed generous with money."
Your largest bluefin tuna, weighing 324 jin, sold for a full 8,000 yuan. The smaller one, weighing 180 jin, sold for 2,500 yuan.
There were also two yellowfin tuna, one weighing 42 jin and the other 54 jin. I simply packed them up and sold them all to Boss Sun for 600 yuan!
As for the two smaller yellowfin tuna, they were snatched up by other restaurant owners. Although they didn't get as much as Sun Youjin offered, they still sold for 480 yuan.
Besides tuna, there were also ribbonfish, crabs, and small yellow croakers. These fish were divided up by the bosses, and Sun Youjin also took some.
In short, the fish caught by Shan Fuwan and her three boats totaled nearly 20,000 yuan.
Fu Wan's boat sold five tuna for a total of 11,100 yuan, and other fish of various sizes for more than 3,000 yuan.
Fu Ming's boat only had one yellowfin tuna, but it also had thousands of catties of ribbonfish, which were not only of good quality but also large in size, so they sold for a high price.
Fu Ming's boat earned a total of over 2,800 in the end. Although Fu Liang's boat didn't have any golden tuna, it did have several hundred catties of large yellow croaker, so its income was also over 1,900.
After deducting the 6% resale fee that Fu San took, Fu Wan's ship earned more than 13,200 yuan, Fu Ming's ship earned more than 2,600 yuan, and Fu Liang's ship earned about 1,800 yuan.
Fu San handed the bill to Fu Wan. To be honest, the amount was too large this time, so he made more than 1,500 yuan just by reselling it.
Although he was envious of the income on Fu Wan's boat, he wasn't stupid. If Fu Wan had directly called Sun Youjin to come and collect the fish, he wouldn't have earned that much at all.
Fu Wan glanced at the form and, seeing that there were basically no problems, signed it.
After she signed it, Fu San put the form away.
"Okay, I'll go to the county town tomorrow morning to wire you the money. By the way, Awan, I've already found out about that fish-collecting boat."
"Oh? What kind is it?"
Fu San got excited when he talked about this: "That boat is about the same size as your old fishing boat, less than ten meters long, but it's also a tin boat."
However, that family used it for fishing before; if they want to use it as a fresh seafood storage vessel, they'll probably need to build a larger cold storage room.
Fu Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Adding a cold storage isn't expensive. How about this, Uncle, I'm going out to sea tomorrow to collect fish traps. If I get back early, let's go check out that village."
If there are no problems, let's make the decision right away.
"Okay, done!"
Fu San readily agreed, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, he got up to take his leave.
"Alright, I have something to do too, so I won't stay any longer. Sister-in-law, Awan, if you have a good catch of fish traps tomorrow, remember to let me know!"
"Haha, Uncle San, don't worry!"
After watching Fu San leave, Ye Xiaocui took the order from Fu Wan. Thanks to Mazu, she didn't dare to interrupt. This trip to sea brought in more than ten thousand yuan for the family.
No, she'll have to burn more incense for Mazu later!
Time flew by, and the next morning, Fu Wan sent all the children to school early. When she returned home, the eldest son was already waiting for her.
"Father, may I go with you?"
Fu Ming was eager to try. Although he didn't know what his father and Fu Wan were up to, he had a feeling that they were planning something big again.
Fu Laoda instinctively wanted to curse, but Fu Wan stopped him.
"Father, let my eldest brother come with us. I believe he won't tell anyone."
Seeing that things were looking promising, Fu Ming quickly patted his chest and assured them, "I absolutely won't tell, you can rest assured!"
"Okay, Wan, tell me quickly, what exactly are you guys going to do?"
He's not stupid; he can't possibly believe they're going to collect the traps!
