"How come you even caught a sea turtle online?"
Boss Fu muttered something, picked up the sea turtle, and was about to throw it into the sea.
"Uncle, wait!"
Fu Liang reached out Er Kang's hand, but before he could finish speaking, the sea turtle had already fallen into the sea with a splash.
"What are we waiting for? We can't catch this sea turtle!"
Seeing Fu Ming's hesitant expression, Boss Fu patiently lectured him. Ye Xiaocui, noticing Fu Ming's strange behavior, suddenly remembered that Fu Wan had brought a sea turtle home before.
Could this sea turtle be the same one as the previous one?
"Ah Liang, is this the same sea turtle as before?"
Fu Ming nodded, "It should be. I just noticed that the injury on his leg hasn't fully healed yet."
Boss Fu was completely confused. How did these two people know about sea turtles?
That's outrageous! This sea turtle has no name or surname, and it won't respond if you call it.
Just then, Fu Wan threw the net onto the boat and then jumped aboard herself.
"Ah Wan, hurry up and change your clothes!"
Ye Xiaocui handed her a towel to dry her hair, while Boss Fu picked up her net bag to check what she had caught.
"Ah Wan, why is this ribbon so big?"
Fu Laoda smiled broadly. His daughter must have known he liked to eat this, which is why she picked so many.
"Oh my, there are also mantis shrimp!"
"Look, there are parrotfish too!"
Ye Xiaocui slapped him on the back, "Get to work!"
We're almost at the dock, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and clean the fish!
Fu Liang then remembered that he hadn't retrieved his own net yet, and wanted to try his luck with Fu Wan.
"Ah Wan, come and pull this net."
Fu Wan thought he couldn't pull it up by himself, so she hung the towel around her neck and tried to pull the net up with both hands.
"Brother Liang, it's so heavy, hurry up!"
This looks like another big net of fish. Boss Fu threw down the net and quickly helped.
After finally pulling the net up, when we opened it, all we could see was a sea of yellow, and most of them were small yellow croakers!
But what's with the giant sea turtle in the middle?
"Hey, isn't this wealth and honor?"
Fu Wan was overjoyed. She hadn't seen Fugui in a long time and thought she would never see it again.
This time, Fugui wasn't eating fish; it was now munching on a clump of green seaweed and frantically flailing its limbs at Fu Wan.
Seriously, I get caught while eating fish and seaweed. It's so tough for me!
Fu Liang leaned closer and saw that the wounds on Fu Gui's body were exactly the same as the ones he had just seen, and he immediately laughed.
"Uncle just pulled Fugui out of the water and put him back into the sea, but I didn't expect him to run into our net again."
Fu Gui seemed to only then realize who Boss Fu had just thrown into the sea, and crawled over to start scratching at Boss Fu's feet.
Boss Fu was still tidying up the fishing net when he saw the sea turtle coming over and found it a bit strange. When he saw the turtle pawing at him like that, he laughed out loud.
"This thing is actually quite fun!"
Isn't it fun? Boss Fu pushed it away, but it crawled over again. It did this several times in a row. Fu Wan admired its perseverance.
Fu Ming, listening to the laughter and chatter behind him, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Originally, Boss Fu wanted Fu Liang to drive the boat, but he insisted on taking over and made Fu Liang stay in the back.
I had no idea it would get so lively back there!
Only a fool like him would dare to steal such a boring and tedious job as sailing a boat.
Fu Wan carried Fu Gui aside and opened a sea urchin made from horse manure that she had just picked up for him.
Unlike regular sea urchins, which are black like lumps of coal, the horse dung sea urchin is yellowish-brown and looks a bit like a ripe chestnut.
The sea urchin has a delicious flavor and tender flesh. It can be eaten raw or cooked. It tastes better and is more valuable than ordinary sea urchins.
Fugui wasn't initially interested in the thorny thing, but when Fu Wan cut it open along the edge with scissors, the delicious aroma made it stretch its neck out.
My god, what is this? It smells absolutely amazing!
Fu Gui ate without even looking up, and Fu Wan, fearing one wouldn't be enough, opened three more and placed them aside.
Boss Fu and the others had already cleaned all the fish and put them into a box filled with ice. By this time, it was already dark. Fu Wan took out her watch and saw that it was already seven o'clock.
The dock was still brightly lit. Although it was difficult to go out to sea during the typhoon, there were still quite a few fishing boats going out to sea at night.
Fugui had eaten several sea urchins but was already full. It had previously nibbled on small fish and seaweed, and then ate three more sea urchins. Now it was dozing off with its eyes closed.
As Fu Wan watched the boat approach the shore, she quickly picked it up to say goodbye.
"It's still too hot, you can't come back with me. Go home and sleep after you've eaten!"
After saying that, he picked it up and walked to the side of the boat. After returning to the sea, Fugui thrashed around twice, and only after watching the boat leave did it swim into the depths of the sea.
Fu San knew that Fu Laoda's family had gone out to sea that afternoon. After eating, he went to Fu's house to check but they hadn't returned, so he drove his tricycle to the dock to wait for them.
Thanks to Fu Wan's family, he made a small fortune from the previous seafood trades. Combined with his savings, he asked his friends in the county to find him a second-hand tricycle.
Transportation in the village is inconvenient. In the past, fish were transported from the dock by handcart or wheelbarrow. Now that there are tricycles, it saves time and effort.
"Why are there still boats returning at this hour?"
The people on the boat started discussing as they watched the ship getting closer and closer.
Fu San, who was sitting on the side fighting off mosquitoes, suddenly woke up from his drowsiness upon hearing this.
He stood up abruptly, and through the lights of the dock, he could see the red flag on Old Master Fu's boat in the distance.
While other families used flags that were all patched up, it was only Fu Laoda who somehow managed to get a small piece of red cloth to make a flag back then.
They insist that the red flag can bring good luck to their family, after all, it's the red of China!
"Brother, how was the harvest today?"
As soon as Boss Fu's boat came to a stop, Fu San couldn't wait to go to meet him.
He handed the cigarette out before remembering that Boss Fu no longer smoked, so he tucked the cigarette behind his ear.
That's top-quality Yuxi liquor, given to me by a friend from the county who treated me to dinner last time.
As Fu Laoda and Fu Liang carried the fish off the boat, they didn't even have time to reply before gesturing for Fu San to hurry up and move things.
"Hurry up and move your things, or you won't be able to tell what's on the scale later!"
A few people who hadn't gone out to sea yet gathered around. This afternoon they were laughing at Boss Fu's family for going out to sea in such hot weather, saying they were just wasting their breath.
The sight of baskets upon baskets of fish made them green with envy.
Look at these two baskets of small yellow croakers, and that basket is full of various red and yellow sea bream. Oh my god, there's also such a big barracuda.
Old Master Fu is incredibly lucky; his afternoon outing at sea is just as profitable as someone else's entire night's catch.
The coconut crabs were too dangerous to bring out, for fear of attracting unwanted attention to the deserted island. Old Master Fu waved his hand and said, "Why aren't you all out to sea? What are you looking at here for!"
