Fu Wan naturally agreed to Ye Xiaocui's words. It was only because Fu Ming was steering the boat at that moment that he heard her say something sarcastic.
When Ye Xiaocui saw the fancy packaging of the two boxes of instant noodles last time, she immediately guessed that they were not cheap.
Then they went on and on, until Fu Ming was practically sick of hearing it, but the two siblings never told Ye Xiaocui how much a pack of this stuff cost.
If Ye Xiaocui had known that a pot of instant noodles cost six or seven yuan, she probably wouldn't have suggested buying more; instead, she would have grabbed a stick and whipped them.
As for Boss Fu, one of the insiders, he kept the news a closely guarded secret. However, he wasn't feeling guilty at all; on the contrary, he was eager to try.
Hey, do you think it would taste even better if we put some sea cucumber in the pot and cooked it with the noodles?
(???)?
Time flew by as they chatted and laughed. Fu Wan, Ye Xiaocui, and the others gathered the dishes and utensils into a stainless steel pot, intending to wash them at home.
After all, the fresh water on the ship is limited, and it cannot be wasted.
As for Fu Ming, Fu Liang didn't forget his good brother and naturally sent him a bowl of hot instant noodles, and also took over the shift to sail the boat.
In the blink of an eye, the ship got closer and closer to the dock, and Fu Wan could hear the commotion on the dock.
She took out her watch from her pocket to check the time; it was exactly 7 p.m., the time when everyone was heading out to sea.
Of course, there are also fishermen like them who go out to sea during the day and return to the dock.
Old Li was busiest at this time, as he had to know exactly which boats had gone out and which had returned.
So as soon as he saw the fishing boats approaching in the distance, he shouted loudly:
"Master Fu's ship is back!"
After being put in a difficult position by Xue Qing last time, Old Li has changed a lot from being timid and hesitant to being in a new state.
Not only did he stop hunching over, but he also walked with a brisk pace. In addition, thanks to his wages and the occasional small fish and shrimp brought by the returning fishing boats, Old Li's diet improved, and he became much taller and stronger.
As a result, the sound also became much louder.
Upon hearing Old Li's shout, Fu San, who was checking the goods on another fishing boat, suddenly looked up.
"Quickly, quickly, my brother's boat is back! Ah Shi, you help them haul all these fish back first, I'm going to check on your uncle!"
Fu Shi nodded hurriedly, his hands never stopping as he and the other villagers busied themselves loading the fish onto the truck.
"Okay, Uncle, don't worry!"
Upon hearing Fu Shi's words, Fu San immediately ran towards Fu Lao's large boat without looking back.
Yes, it's a race. Although the dock is only so big, no one knows when it started, but the villagers like to gather at the dock to watch the excitement.
Remembering how he almost lost his shoes in the crowd last time before finally finding Boss Fu, Fu San had no choice but to run as fast as he could this time!
"Big brother, you're finally back! Come to my house for dinner later!"
As soon as Boss Fu disembarked, Boss Fu San went to greet him.
Boss Fu waved his hand, "No need, hurry up and count the fish, it's more important to bring the fish home."
If this whole family, including Fu Liang and his mother, and now Fu Fengying and Jack, were to go to Fu San's house for a meal, it would be like attending a banquet, and Fu San's mother-in-law would be exhausted.
Moreover, since he had just eaten a big bowl of instant noodles, Boss Fu was full and didn't feel hungry at the moment.
Fu San couldn't hear Fu Laoda's refusal at all; he only heard him tell him to go upstairs and move the fish.
"Alright, I'll go check it out on the boat right now! Ah Ming, go and bring your tricycle over, I'll calculate the gas costs for you later."
Before Fu Ming could even respond, he hurriedly explained to Boss Fu and Fu Wan, "There are quite a few people going out to sea today, and a lot of fish too. My tricycle is still being used by A-Shi. Wan, brother, you see..."
Boss Fu didn't say anything. Although the car belonged to his family, it was Fu Wan who bought it.
Fu Wan knew that Boss Fu meant for her to make the decision, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
"The car can run, but forget about the gas. Uncle, you should get them to unload the fish as soon as possible!"
Forget about gas money; it's just a short distance from the dock to Fu Sanjia's house, a matter of just revving the engine.
Seeing that Fu Wan had no objections, Fu Ming immediately carried the fishing net and ran home.
He knew where he kept the car keys, and soon he arrived in his tricycle with a rumble.
The arrival of the tricycle attracted the attention of many villagers, and a few uncles couldn't resist reaching out and touching the vehicle.
"Oh my, you know what, this new tricycle feels so different from the flatbed cart!"
Grandpa Fu, standing nearby, rolled his eyes at them. "Can they be the same? One has three wheels, the other has two. One costs money, the other takes effort. If they were the same, would you still be pulling a cart?"
Fu Gou Dan wasn't angry even when he was being teased. After all, Grandpa Fu was his elder, and he had been scolding him like that since he was a child.
In fact, Grandpa Fu was also disappointed in him. They were about the same age, and he looked at what Boss Fu was doing: making money!
Look at Fu Gou Dan, all he does is drown his sorrows in alcohol all day long!
However, the tricycle didn't keep everyone talking for long, because Ye Lin and Fu Liang came out carrying the fish.
In the past, everyone envied Master Fu's fish, so when they saw Ye Lin and the others carrying things out, they naturally surrounded them and craned their necks to look into the fish baskets.
"Hey, why does this fish look so much like a whitebait?"
Fu Gou Dan couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"Doggy's luck is terrible today, how come he got so many cheap goods!"
Because the whitebait was relatively large and located at the top of the fish basket, the villagers couldn't see what kind of fish were below, so Fu Gou Dan naturally assumed that the whole basket was full of whitebait.
Hearing Fu Gou Dan's dejected words, Grandpa Fu was furious. "So what if it's a IOU? You can eat an IOU too!"
Although it didn't taste good, it was still the result of the hard work of Boss Fu and his team.
Fu Gou Dan was hit two or three times with Grandpa Fu's cane, but he didn't feel any pain. He touched his arm and then looked at the fish basket in Jack's hand.
"Wow, sardines!"
They're all money-losing products!
He didn't dare shout those words out loud again, after all, Grandpa Fu's cane was right next to him, and he would inevitably get a beating again.
Grandpa Fu frowned deeply as he watched them carry out several baskets of sardines.
Just then, Fu Wan came down from the boat and whispered a few words to Fu San. Fu Da Ye quickly pulled her aside.
"Wan'er, why are all the fish we caught this time at sea sardines?"
Fu Wan glanced at the car and noticed the worry on Grandpa Fu's face.
They're afraid that their family won't earn enough to cover the cost of diesel fuel when they go out to sea, and will end up losing money!
"Grandpa, don't worry, there are more fish to come. Just keep an eye on them. My dad has a few small white eels; I'll take them home for you to enjoy with your drinks later!"
