After driving for more than ten minutes, Boss Fu felt that something was wrong.
"Ah Wan, look behind us, isn't that wooden boat following us?"
When they first left the dock, there were many ships and they didn't notice it. But now that they've been sailing for so long and there aren't many ships around anymore, Boss Fu finally realized that there were ships following them.
Fu Wan squinted at the back of her head. Not far away was Fu Ming's boat, which was painted with some blue paint. About ten meters behind Fu Ming's boat, there was a small, dilapidated wooden boat following behind.
“Father, there is indeed a wooden boat following us. It may have just left the dock and is just moving forward.”
Boss Fu turned his head and looked at the ship again. It was too far away for him to see clearly, but the more he looked at the ship, the more familiar it seemed.
It looks exactly like Fu Lao Er's ship. Damn it, wasn't he supposed to be selling his ship? Why is it following me?
Fortunately, both Fu Wan and Fu Ming's boats had several barrels of diesel fuel. Fu Wan originally planned to sail directly to the boat where they had caught coconut crabs, but when he saw that there were boats following behind, he simply took them for a ride on the sea.
Go ahead and follow along, don't you like to follow along?
Fu Ming and Fu Liang were cursing on the boat. There were three grown men on the boat, and they didn't care about anything. There were no children around, so their mouths were naturally dirty.
They directly insulted the ancestors of the ship behind them for eighteen generations.
"You're crazy! I'll show you how to walk around until you're dead!"
Fu Ming continued to hurl profanities while occasionally blocking the path of the ship behind him, which frightened Qian Xiaofang on the ship behind him into cursing incessantly.
"Are the Fu family out of their minds? They can't even drive a boat properly!"
Seeing that this couldn't go on any longer, since he didn't have much money left to buy a boat, and all he had was the one barrel of diesel fuel in the engine, if he kept going like this, he would have to go back empty-handed.
She immediately discussed with her older brother, Qian Xiaobao, who was steering the boat, "Why don't we set up an internet cafe around here?"
They were in an area of sea where no one knew whose operations were taking place, and there were no other ships on the sea at that time.
Qian Xiaobao was somewhat unwilling. Qian Xiaohua had told him several times how good the shipping business of Boss Fu's family was, and now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he had to give it up. How could he be willing to do that?
However, he also knew that if the diesel fuel ran out, he would be lucky enough to catch a passing ship to save him, but if he was unlucky, he would just drift on the sea and wait to die.
So he gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence.
"Okay, let's go to an internet cafe!"
Shen Dongsheng, standing to the side, was sweating profusely, fearing that Fu Ming's boat had just collided with theirs.
Seeing that the boats behind them had slowed down to cast their nets, Fu Ming and Boss Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was barely dawn, and they still hadn't arrived at their destination!
Without his tagalong, Boss Fu drove headed towards the Coconut Crab Island without any hesitation. After about half an hour, an island appeared on the sea.
Fu Laoda slowed down the boat and slowly approached the island. Fu Wan saw that it was about time and threw the bamboo tube traps piled on the deck into the sea.
Just then, Fu Wan, who was sitting on the deck with Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, stringing fish bait together, heard a familiar sound of something hitting the deck.
"Awan, Chunlan, have you heard anything?"
Ye Xiaocui also heard the sound. Fu Wan got up, picked up the net, walked to the side of the boat, and sure enough, there was a familiar voice and a familiar figure.
Fu Wan used a net to scoop Fugui onto the deck. Fugui didn't struggle. Before Fu Wan could release it from the net, the sound of the ship being rammed came from below the deck.
"Coming, coming! Wait a minute!"
Hua Kai has a rather impatient personality. Fu Wan quickly placed Fu Gui on the deck and then swiftly scooped Hua Kai up.
"Hiss, Huakai, have you gained a lot of weight?"
Hua Kai stared with her two tiny, beady eyes, giving me a look that said, "Don't ask me, I don't know."
Fu Ling and Fu Yun were playing a game of "you clap once, I clap once" when they saw the sea turtle appear on the deck. They stopped playing the game and squatted down to watch the turtle.
"Mom, can I give them the cookies I brought?"
"I don't know if they'll eat it or not, but why don't you give it a try?"
If she remembered correctly, Fugui was a picky eater. She still vividly remembered how he scorned the cornbread!
Fu Yun was initially scared when she saw the two sea turtles, but when she saw Fu Gui eating the small biscuits that Fu Ling had crushed, she was no longer afraid and squatted down to watch them intently.
"Hey, this sea turtle is even eating cookies!"
Ye Xiaocui chatted and laughed with Jiang Chunlan while busy with her work.
Jiang Chunlan laughed too, saying that it was only because Fu Wan's family was willing to spend money that these biscuits cost several cents a pound. In other families, the children would be stingy even if they ate just one piece, let alone feed it to a sea turtle.
Just then, the boat stopped. Boss Fu told Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui to set up fish traps on the island's edge, while he and Fu Liang took the boat to trawle.
Fu Wan brought down some beachcombing tools. Fu Yun and Fu Ling were initially a little sleepy, but now they were much more energetic and ran around happily as soon as they got to the beach.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan took small shovels to dig for sandworms and razor clams, while Fu Wan found several places with abundant seaweed and set up a total of eight traps.
"Awan, come quick, there are so many red snails here!"
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were enthusiastically collecting seashells on the beach. They noticed a gap between the rocks and the seawater, and they were sure to find some good stuff underneath if they lifted it up.
They started by picking up a few ordinary-sized snails, but after turning over a few rocks, they found a lot of bulleye snails.
Fu Wan agreed, and seeing that Fu Ling and Fu Yun were having a good time on the beach, she felt relieved and joined the snail-collecting team.
So many red snails!
Perhaps because few people come here, and because of the heavy rain yesterday, red snails are visible everywhere in the nearby trench.
Not only are there many, but they are also large.
The shell of the red snail is very beautiful, like a small round ball, with many spirals on the surface. Because the inside of the shell is not only smooth but also orange-red, the locals call it the red snail.
The flesh of the red whelk is very thick and meaty; large red whelks taste similar to abalone.
As Fu Wan picked them up, she thought about how to cook the red snails to make them taste good. The three of them picked them up in no time, and the red snails on the side were almost all picked up, and the bucket next to them was full.
"Alright, let's forget about these small snails and save them for next time."
There were still many small red snails in the cracks of the rocks, but Fu Wan and the other two tacitly decided not to pick them up. Red snails grow quickly, so they could leave them for another half month and come back for another bumper harvest.
After finishing collecting the red snails, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan went to dig for sand worms, while Fu Ling and Fu Wan piled up the seashells they collected into a small mountain on the beach.
Fu Wan picked up a small shovel to dig up some sandworms, and the next second she heard Fu Ling's cheerful chirping.
"Mom, come quick! There's a big fish here!"
