Fu Ming wasn't annoyed by the scolding from Boss Fu; he simply touched his nose and pretended to be sad.
"Oh, Dad, you're underestimating me! I remember all of this. Just you wait, I'll catch a big one and show you!"
After saying this, Fu Ming picked out two large, plump pieces of shrimp meat, hooked them onto the fishing hook, and cast them out with a snap.
Fu Ling was quite amusing; she picked up her little fishing rod and pulled Qin Mingzhu toward Fu Ming.
"Uncle, don't be afraid, we're here to help you!"
"We're good at fishing! I'll catch you a big grouper later!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming was instantly moved to tears.
"Oh my nieces, I've really done my best to spoil you two."
"Goodness, slow down, don't fall!"
Su Ran and Wen Yue were surprised to see this. "A-Wan, your daughter can fish?"
Fu Wan smiled proudly upon hearing this.
"Haha, of course they can! How could kids who grew up by the sea not know how to fish? Fishing is nothing! They can even dive! I didn't really teach them; they learned on their own!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Wen Yue listened with great admiration. She could swim, but she wasn't good at diving.
Moreover, she only learned to swim in recent years, while Fu Ling, at such a young age, already knows how to dive.
Wen Yue looked in the direction of Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu again, only to see Fu Ling skillfully baiting the fish and then casting the fishing rod with a whoosh.
Their fishing rods were all handmade by Boss Fu, and even the bamboo was personally selected by him from the mountain.
Because Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu are young, the bamboo cannot be too heavy, otherwise the two of them will not be able to lift it, nor can it be too long, otherwise it will be difficult for them to control.
Of course, in addition to this, the bamboo used to make fishing rods must also have a certain degree of flexibility so that it will not easily break when pulled by a fish.
Seeing the fishermen get busy again, Ye Xiaocui, also thinking about the moon shells she hadn't dug out of the mud, turned around to go back.
However, since Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were fishing with Fu Ming, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but give them a few words of advice.
"Ah Ming, don't just focus on fishing, keep an eye on Lingling and Mingzhu! It's dangerous near the rocks, don't let them fall in!"
Although the children are good swimmers, there may be hidden reefs under the rocks, and if they fall in, they will inevitably get cuts and scrapes.
Fu Ming responded with a sound of agreement, patting his chest to assure him.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry!"
His nieces came to help him, how could he not protect them?
Even if Ye Xiaocui didn't give any instructions, Fu Ming still kept half of his attention on the children.
"Uncle, the fish are here! The fish are here!"
As they were talking, Fu Ling suddenly shouted excitedly, and the small fishing rod in her hand bent down.
Fu Ming hurriedly tucked his fishing rod under his arm and then took Fu Ling's fishing rod from her.
"Uncle will help you walk. The water is too fast here, so you should stand a little further back!"
Fu Ling obediently stepped back, but her eyes remained fixed on the sea.
Seeing that they were having fun, Fu Wan simply stopped interfering.
But when someone turned around, they saw a claw reaching back out from under the rocks.
"Hey, there's something here!"
Fu Wan bent down, lifted the rock at her feet, reached in and pulled out a long-legged octopus.
Su Ran and Wen Yue were dumbfounded. Good heavens, what kind of eyesight does Fu Wan have? They had just walked past that rock, how come they didn't see that there was an octopus hiding underneath!
"Wan, your eyesight is amazing!"
Wen Yue had lost count of how many times she had been utterly impressed by Fu Wan today. Fu Wan smiled and said modestly, "Hehe, it's nothing. I'm a fisherman, and that's how fishermen are."
"If you don't believe me, look back at my mother; she caught an octopus too!"
Upon hearing this, the two turned to look at Ye Xiaocui. They were just like mother and daughter. Ye Xiaocui also pulled out two octopuses from under the rocks.
Judging by its size, it's even bigger than the one Fu Wan caught.
Wen Yue curiously stepped forward to examine the octopus wriggling its eight legs in the bucket. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen a live octopus.
The girl was quite bold. Seeing that the octopus wasn't aggressive and was small, she immediately reached out to grab it and take a look.
Just as she touched the octopus, a stream of pitch-black ink suddenly gushed out. If Wen Yue hadn't dodged in time, the ink would have sprayed onto her face.
"Haha, Wen Yue, you've fallen victim to this too! I got sprayed with this too last time I came!"
Hearing the noise, Su Ran turned around and saw Wen Yue's embarrassed appearance with her hands covered in ink, and immediately burst into laughter.
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, it's alright, it's alright, that's how octopuses are. Wen Yue, the water in the trench here is clean, come and wash up."
"Oh, okay!"
Wen Yue glanced resentfully at the still wriggling octopus. She had thought the little thing was cute, but it had attacked her.
Hmph, once she washes the ink off her body, she'll definitely ask Fu Wan how to catch an octopus!
Octopus ink is actually easy to clean, and Wen Yue didn't care. After washing her hands, she simply wiped her sleeves with wet seaweed and then couldn't wait to continue beachcombing.
"Ah Wan, please teach me how to find an octopus!"
She had eaten fried octopus at a Western restaurant in Shanghai before, and it was alright. This fresh octopus must taste even better, and she definitely had to try it later.
Fu Wan was also generous in teaching them.
"It's very simple, just turn over the small rocks to look."
The tide has just receded, and there's still some water under the rocks. Octopuses love to hide in the damp mud and sand to catch small fish and shrimp.
Just be careful when you're turning them over, make sure they don't have a chance to escape.
Su Ran and Wen Yue nodded as if they understood, but it was time for the apprentices to put their teaching into practice.
As Su Ran turned around, she noticed two rocks about the size of benches next to her.
"Hehe, I'll give it a try."
After saying that, she picked up the stone with hope and looked under it. There was nothing under the stone except for a small fish that was startled and darted away.
"Hmph, there isn't one."
Su Ran turned around angrily and lifted another piece, thinking there was still nothing underneath, but miraculously an octopus the size of an egg appeared before her eyes.
"Haha, I found it!"
In her excitement, Su Ran frantically grabbed the octopus that was trying to escape. Fu Wan was also very pleased to see how quickly she had mastered it.
"Good, good, Su Ran, quickly throw it into the bucket, be careful it might spray ink."
"Okay, all done!"
"Can I afford to make the same mistake twice?" Su Ran hurriedly threw the octopus into the bucket with lightning speed. Seeing that Su Ran had already made a catch, Wen Yue was not to be outdone and quickly searched the rocks for the octopus.
The first rock, there was none; the second one, there was none either.
Undeterred, Wen Yue continued to move the third piece with renewed hope.
Just then, Fu Wan walked to the side. She casually glanced at the situation under the reef and quickly reached out with the fire tongs in her hand.
