Fu Wan pointed to the left side of the nail plate, "Put it there, don't rush, I'll go with you."
Also, you can just call me Awan.
If nothing unexpected happens, they'll have to work together for a long time. If they keep going back and forth like comrades all the time, it will definitely cause some trouble.
Fang Min was a straightforward person, and she nodded in agreement without saying a word.
"Ah Wan, how should we place these bamboo tubes? Should we just lower them into the water along the hemp rope?"
"Yes, that's it."
Fu Wan found a spot she thought was good by the side of the boat and lowered the crab trap, which was filled with bait, into the water.
Because they needed to set traps, their boats were also kept relatively slow.
Seeing them busy here, Fu Shi didn't waste any time. After taking a sip of water, he ran over to help.
Seeing this, Fu Liang and Ye Jianguo, along with the others on the boat behind, also put their fish traps into the sea.
The waters they are currently in are very close to Yanwo Island, so they are still in shallow waters.
The crab traps and fish traps contained dead fish and shrimp, the smell of which was irresistible to crabs and some other fish.
After setting the traps over the sea, Boss Fu turned the boat around and headed towards the deep sea.
Fu Wan rested in the cabin for more than half an hour. When they were almost at the sea area she had mentioned earlier, she went out to greet Fu Shi and Fang Min.
"Let's lower the trawl net!"
Because it is a deep-sea area, there are basically no fishing boats operating nearby. Looking out over the dark sea, apart from our own three fishing boats, there are only flocks of seabirds following the fishing boats to forage for food.
After the trawl net is set, preparations for extended fishing need to be made.
Fang Min, despite her poor eyesight, silently followed Fu Wan's example and baited the fishhook.
Ye Xiaocui covered the sleeping child with a blanket before hurrying out to help.
Seeing Fu Wanfang and Min busy with extended fishing, he turned around and went back into the cabin.
When she came out again, she was carrying several brightly colored scraps of cloth headscarves.
"Come on, everyone, put them on!"
Without saying a word, Ye Xiaocui tied headscarves on them one by one.
Because the wind was too strong on the deck, Fang Min's hat was easily blown off, so she simply didn't wear one.
At this moment, Ye Xiaocui tied a headscarf around her head, and through the headscarf, she could feel the warmth of Ye Xiaocui's palms.
"They're all young girls, how can they not wear headscarves? They'll get headaches when they get old!"
Fu Wan didn't dare to refuse, nor did she dare to say that she hadn't worn a headscarf before simply because she wasn't used to it and it didn't look good.
After giving the talismans to Fu Wan and Fang Min, Ye Xiaocui didn't even leave the talisman stones behind.
"I didn't see your uncle's hat, so you can just wear a headscarf and make do!"
It was called a headscarf, but it was actually sewn together by Ye Xiaocui from scraps of cheap fabric. Fu Shi hadn't been cared for like this in a long time, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Hurry up, once the extended fishing is done, it'll be time to trawle."
Ye Xiaocui muttered to herself as she busied herself with the tasks at hand. The four of them worked quickly, and before long all the extended fishing lines on the deck had been lowered into the water.
Seeing that it was almost time, Boss Fu steered the boat around again before letting Ye Lin go to the deck to start the net machine.
After Fu Wan finished casting her longline, she rested in the cabin. Only after hearing the commotion on the deck did she go out with Fang Min.
Although he had previously served in the navy, this was the first time Fang Min had ever seen a web-connecting machine in operation.
The thick hemp ropes on both sides of the deck creaked as they were pulled back, while Ye Lin and Fu Shi were busy winding the ropes onto the rollers. In less than half an hour, a huge fishing net appeared above the deck.
Fu Wan glanced to the side and saw that Fu Ming and Fu Liang's trawling nets had also been set up.
"Quickly untie it and see what you've got!"
Fu Laoda rushed over excitedly, and Fu Wan gave Fu Shi a push, "Brother Shi, go and try it. Amin can also learn how to untie the ropes of this kind of net bag."
Fu Shi was caught off guard by being called out, and he was still somewhat dazed until his hand touched the rope buckle.
He had been to sea before; the Fu family also owned fishing boats.
Once, after Fu Shi untied the net, it contained only worthless sardines. Fu Lao Er and Fu Qiang thought he was unlucky, and after that, they never let him untie the rope again.
But clearly, the net that Fu Lao Er untied himself contained sardines.
"Ah Wan, I'm having bad luck, how about..."
Fu Shi hesitated for a moment. This was the first net of the day, and everyone going to sea wanted a good start, just in case…
"It's alright, Amin can go too!"
Fu Wan didn't care about that; her main goal was to help the two of them integrate as quickly as possible.
Since Fu Wan was her boss, Fang Min naturally did as she was told. Being clever, she quickly learned how to untie the rope knot of the net bag.
With a pull of the rope, the fish in the net instantly piled up into a small mountain.
"Holy crap, yellow croaker?!"
Ye Lin exclaimed in surprise. He now recognized many kinds of fish, especially valuable ones.
Fu Ming had mentioned this yellow croaker to him several times.
"Oh, little yellow flowers, they're all little yellow flowers!"
Ye Xiaocui chuckled and pulled over a stool, then picked up a small rake and began picking up the fish.
If you were to ask fishermen what their favorite color is, it would undoubtedly be golden yellow.
Look at this pile of golden croakers on the deck; it looks like a fortune.
"Auntie, what do you mean by 'little yellow flower'? This fish is clearly much bigger!"
Ye Lin grabbed a fish and retorted, the fish being half the length of his hand.
Fu Wan picked it up and took a look. "It is indeed a small yellow croaker, but it is quite large."
This net was mostly filled with small yellow croakers, and Fu Wan roughly estimated that there were at least five or six hundred catties of them.
They've already made quite a bit of money.
Seeing that they were picking out fish, Boss Fu rinsed the trawl net with water and then pushed it back into the sea.
Because of the cold weather, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to go out to sea, so he plans to cast more nets today.
Fu Ming was about to pick out the fish with Ye Jianguo when he saw his father trawling the net again.
Wow, seriously? They're working so hard?
He naturally rushed to push the trawl net out to sea, and then followed in his boat.
The same was true for Fu Liang, but he was suddenly separated from Boss Fu and was a bit flustered.
While sorting through the fish, Jiang Chunlan comforted them, "It's alright, don't rush. You go trawle first, and Dayong and I will roughly sort the types."
If all else fails, we can ask someone to come aboard and sort through the selections once we reach the dock!
Fu Liang nodded in agreement and hurriedly set sail towards the direction where they were trawling.
The trawling took about two hours. Just as Fu Wan finished sorting her catch, Boss Fu started the second trawling.
But as soon as the net was untied, Fu Wan, with her quick eyes and hands, swiftly pulled the talisman aside.
"Holy crap, how come there are so many boss fish?"
"What boss fish? This is a stingray!"
