The red moon jellyfish is one of the many species of jellyfish, and it also has a name that is very familiar to modern people: sea jellyfish.
However, the fishermen in this area no longer eat this stuff. It is common knowledge that jellyfish are poisonous, but there are many types of jellyfish, and no one can distinguish between the edible and inedible ones.
Fu Wan felt she had sniffed out a business opportunity. If she had known that her boss, who was her nanny in her previous life, had started out in the jellyfish business, now that the opportunity to make money was right in front of her, she had to take it back and give it a try.
Without hesitation, Fu Wan took out a large landing net from the cabin next to her, reached out and gripped the end of the net's pole, and tried her best to reach the jellyfish that were swimming towards her.
"Dad, move the boat to the side!"
Fu Wan shouted at Boss Fu, and Fu Ming threw out all the fishing hooks in his hands and then came over to help Fu Wan.
He thought Fu Wan had spotted a big fish, but it turned out to be a clump of jellyfish.
Has his sister gone mad? What does she want this thing for?
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and fish it out!"
If we don't rescue it soon, it'll run away again!
Fu Wan was extremely anxious. Fu Liang, who was standing next to her, snatched the net from Fu Ming's hand and quickly scooped up the large clump of jellyfish.
Although he didn't know what Awan was for, he always felt that following her instructions wouldn't be wrong.
A trust shrouded in mystery.
However, although the jellyfish was scooped into the net, Fu Liang tried to pull it out but couldn't.
"Amin, come quick and help!"
Seeing that Fu Liang's face was contorted with rage and veins were bulging, Fu Ming quickly grabbed the pole of the net.
With the combined effort of the two grown men, they finally managed to get the thing onto the boat.
Fu Wan had already prepared a sickle and was waiting on the side. This sickle was left on the boat by Ye Xiaocui last time. Sometimes fish would get tangled in the net and it was difficult to untangle them. When there was no other way, she would use the sickle to cut open the fishing net.
This came in handy right now.
Only the skin and head of the red moon jellyfish are edible. Its tentacles contain toxins, and if you are accidentally entangled, you may experience difficulty breathing, rashes, or even shock that can be life-threatening.
While her two older brothers were catching jellyfish, Fu Wan put on a pair of water shoes and the plastic gloves she had taken from Fu San for catching fish.
She didn't want to be stung by the jellyfish at all, but fortune favors the bold. After Fu Ming and Fu Liang pulled the jellyfish out, they stepped aside to watch Fu Wan deal with it.
By parting the jellyfish tentacles beneath the jellyfish, Fu Wan found numerous small fish and shrimp attached to the ends of the tentacles. She then used a sickle to separate the entire jellyfish tentacle from the jellyfish head and threw the tentacles containing the small fish and shrimp back into the sea.
The only place where a jellyfish stings is its tentacles. After separating the tentacles from the head, Fu Ming and Fu Liang were no longer afraid and immediately surrounded it.
Fu Ming even tried to poke the jellyfish's head with his hand, but then pulled it back out.
"Ah Wan, can you eat this big thing?"
Even after removing the tentacles, the jellyfish head was still a huge mass. Fu Wan put the jellyfish head in a fish basket.
There are actually quite a few jellyfish on the sea surface, but before she figured out how to handle them, Fu Wan thought it best not to waste them.
Having such a big one is enough to keep me busy.
...
"Ah Wan, look over there!"
Fu Ming pointed to a spot not far away, where Fu Wan was pondering what to do with the jellyfish head when she heard this and looked over.
It was a ship twice the size of their own, and it seemed quite proud of its size, even sounding its horn when it saw Fu Wan and the others' ship.
"This is the ship that Xue Qing and his crew were on."
Fu Liang said in a deep voice. Fu Wan didn't say anything either. This ship was indeed much more luxurious than her own. One day, she would also have to get a ship this big.
So right now, we need to make money!
"They made such a big fuss that they scared all our fish away."
Fu Ming was somewhat displeased, and Boss Fu had obviously thought of this as well, so he steered the boat in the opposite direction from Xue Qing's boat.
They finally managed to steer the boat to a deserted place.
It was already late at night. Boss Fu told Fu Liang to start the boat, while he and Fu Ming cast their nets at the stern.
Perhaps because there weren't many people around, Boss Fu threw a net down and waited for the boat to travel a distance before pulling it up.
"There's a fish, and it's quite heavy!"
As soon as Fu Ming pulled the fishing net, he knew there was a catch. He and Boss Fu each took one side and worked hard to pull the net up.
"Ugh, they're all ghost-head swords!"
The back of the mahi-mahi is bluish or greenish, while the belly is mostly light-colored. It has a large body and its entire body is long and flat.
Although the mahi-mahi is edible, it has a very rough texture, so it is very cheap.
But since they'd already caught them, they couldn't just throw them away. So Fu Ming took out the fish basket and picked the fish out of the net.
The fish tastes much better after the mahi-mahi is brought ashore and its blood is drained. So, Boss Fu was in charge of draining the blood, while Fu Wan was in charge of putting the drained fish into the fish basket.
"The fish here aren't very good, Ah Liang, drive back the way we came!"
Fu Lao shouted, and Fu Wan threw the fishing net in her hand. It wasn't a hand-thrown net, but just an ordinary fishing net.
As we drive along, we'll see if we run into any fish.
Ordinary fishing nets are not like hand-thrown nets; they don't have the kind of buckles that lock in place at the bottom. But trying is always better than doing nothing.
Fu Liang steered the boat to the area where they had been fishing earlier, and Fu Wan retrieved the fishing net she had cast out earlier. Boss Fu stepped forward to help.
After finally pulling the fishing net up, Boss Fu finally smiled when he saw the fish inside.
Although there was a mahi-mahi in there, there were also many larger sea bream weighing several tens of kilograms.
Sea bream is much more valuable than mahi-mahi, so Fu Ming was no longer worried and quickly came up to pick up the fish.
Seizing the opportunity, Fu Wan quickly threw out all the fishing nets in her hand, and only retrieved them after they sank to the bottom.
Fu Liang and Boss Fu each took one position, and it took them a lot of effort to pull up the fishing net.
The crowd was even more excited when they saw the fishing nets they had pulled up; both nets contained hundreds of pounds of lively, wriggling yellow croakers!
Fu Ming got excited, and luckily he had several hand-thrown nets, so he quickly threw them out again.
We've probably run into a school of fish; we'd better hurry and scoop them up with two nets!
They didn't feel exhausted until their fishing nets were full of fish.
"Should we pack up our extension fishing?"
Fu Wan noticed the fishing line stretched taut beside the boat and remembered that she had baited the net. The others then pulled in the net.
There was no way they could rest. They immediately divided the work: Fu Ming and Fu Liang pulled the left hook, while Fu Wan and Boss Fu pulled the right hook.
Perhaps because the extended fishing time was a bit long, I pulled up several hooks in a row and they were all empty.
The group couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.
Fu Wan comforted her, "It's alright, the catch from just casting nets is quite good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Fu felt the string in his hand suddenly straighten out.
Years of experience told him that this was probably a huge thing weighing at least several tens of kilograms!
