"Let me untie the rope!"
After Fu finished speaking, he stepped forward, and Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan went to the back to drag over the empty fish basket.
Fu Wan responded and quickly took two steps away, otherwise the fish in the net bag would fall onto the deck and drown her legs.
Fu Laoda hadn't untied the rope of the net bag in a long time, so he was a little nervous about it. His hands trembled a couple of times before he managed to untie it.
"Father, let me do it!"
Fu Wan looked anxious, but Fu Laoda didn't even look up. "No need. I'm not useless. Do I need your help to untie a rope?"
If his little granddaughter could untie it, how could a strong man like him not be able to untie this rope?
At this point, there was only one knot left in the rope. Boss Fu simply pulled hard, and the opening of the net bag was opened. The fish inside instantly fell onto the deck like a torrential rain.
Wow, so much gold thread!
Several golden threadfin bream fell to Fu Wan's feet, and Boss Fu dragged the fish basket that Ye Xiaocui and the others had brought to her side.
"Not only golden threadfin bream, but this net also has quite a few sea hares, and dozens of kilograms of filefish at the bottom!"
Once the fish were caught, everyone immediately got to work.
Fu Wan carried the fish over and then specifically piled golden threadfin bream into the fish basket.
The golden threadfin bream is also very beautiful. Locally, it is often called golden thread catfish, while others, like Boss Fu and his friends, simply call it golden thread.
The golden threadfin bream is oval in shape with a very smooth body. The fish is long and laterally compressed. The batch of golden threadfin bream that Fu Wan and her team brought online is about 25 centimeters long, and the longest golden threadfin bream is only 35 centimeters.
The golden threadfin bream is light red overall, with a lighter color on its belly. It has very obvious golden longitudinal stripes on both sides of its body, like several golden threads inlaid on the fish.
This is also the origin of the name "Golden Threadfin Fish". (Image of Golden Threadfin Fish, very pretty, haha) "Honey, how's the price of Golden Threadfin Fish lately?"
While Ye Xiaocui was busy sorting through the fish, she asked Boss Fu why sorting fish was a rather tedious job, so they would often chat about a few topics while sorting the fish.
"I haven't heard Fu San mention it. Don't worry, the price won't be low."
Right now, Boss Fu is tying ropes to the crabs. Every time he trawles, he can bring back several baskets of crabs. Except for those with broken limbs, the crabs that are intact and look good are tied with ropes so that they won't run around or fight when placed in the fish basket.
There were quite a few golden threadfin bream in this net, and there was also a small basket of ones that were only about ten centimeters long. Fu Wan was worried that Fu San wouldn't get enough, so she specially packed them out to see how to handle them later.
After picking out the crabs, Boss Fu straightened up and looked at the sky. The sun had already set on the sea, and the afterglow of the sunset rippled with the seawater, which was very beautiful.
"Ah Wan, what's the time?"
"Okay!"
She ran to the cabin, pulled out her watch, and exclaimed, "Dad, it's almost six o'clock!"
It's time to head back.
Just as Boss Fu was about to turn around and head towards the cockpit, Fu Wan put her watch in her pocket and squatted down, but was caught by a flash of light from the pile of fish.
What's going on? This golden threadfin bream is reflecting light!
She thought it was her imagination, so she stood up and squatted down again in the same position as before.
Sure enough, my eyes were once again dazzled by the light emanating from the pile of fish.
What's going on?
Fu Wan was filled with curiosity, so she simply followed the source of the light and dug through the pile of fish.
"Huh, what's wrong with this fish?"
Yu Xiaocui and the others looked over when they heard the sound, and saw that Fu Wan was holding a horse mackerel in her hand, which looked just like the washing stick at home.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaocui was puzzled. It was just a horse mackerel, nothing special.
Seeing that these people didn't understand what she meant, Fu Wan picked up the horse mackerel and handed it to them.
“Take a closer look, what’s different about this filefish?”
Ye Xiaocui suppressed her doubts, took the filefish and examined it closely. Hey, the filefish's head is a bit strange.
The filefish, also known as the horse-faced pufferfish, has a laterally compressed body, mostly bluish-black in color, with a completely black tail fin. It gets its name from its face, which resembles a horse's head. (Image of a filefish from the internet; you'll probably be more familiar with it after processing.) This fish normally appears to have no neck, and its gills aren't very prominent, but the filefish in Ye Xiaocui's hand was quite strange.
About three or four centimeters behind its eye, something was stuck in its body, which made the filefish look very strange. Its originally smooth body shape was ruined by something in the middle, which was stuck hard inside the fish.
"Damn it, who knows where this person is littering again? I bet this thing got stuck when it was still a baby."
It's likely that the fish got stuck and couldn't break free, and then as the filefish grew, it became firmly stuck to its body.
If this fish hadn't been caught in the fishing net, it probably wouldn't have survived much longer. It's worth noting that filefish have a very long lifespan, up to 20 years, making them one of the longest-lived fish in the ocean.
But how can this thing glow?
Fu Wan was convinced that her eyes were not mistaken. She took out her knife and gently scraped the ring a few times with the back of the blade.
In just a few moves, they threw the sea hare that Ye Xiaocui had picked up back onto the ground.
"Oh my god, what is this?!"
Ye Xiaocui could barely speak properly when Fu Wan scraped the ring with the back of her knife, revealing its golden color.
Looking at the seemingly ordinary ring again, wow, it's clearly a gold bracelet!
Now the group stopped picking through the fish and gathered around to watch Fu Wan take off the bracelet.
This filefish is so big that the bracelet can't be removed without cutting it open.
However, the fish had long since died, so Fu Wan simply cut it in half along the bracelet.
"I'll take the bracelet to wash later, but we'll take the filefish home and eat it ourselves!"
Filefish are usually bought whole, but when they arrive at restaurants, they are usually headless and skinned.
Skinned horse mackerel tastes even better when cooked. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Boss Fu told Fu Ming and the others to set sail back.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were still stunned by the large gold bracelet.
"Oh my, tell me, how could a fish get stuck in a big gold bracelet?"
"You bet! If someone lost such a big bracelet, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly!"
"But I haven't heard of anyone losing anything."
"Look at what you're saying. No one knows where this thing was lost. Let alone a few years ago, now no one in the village dares to wear a silver bracelet, let alone a gold one."
Jiang Chunlan nodded in agreement and laughed, "It's all thanks to our Awan's good luck. Come, come, let me share in your good fortune."
I was thinking, maybe there are still a lot of treasures on the seabed, and we might find them next time.
Yes, there might be treasures hidden in such a vast seabed!
