Everyone was very satisfied with the late-night snack. All the crabs in the stainless steel pot were eaten. Not only that, but Fu Ming and Ye Lin also used the leftover broth from Fu Wan's scallion and ginger crab dish to dip their steamed flatbreads.
Fu Wan stood up, rubbing her stomach. She had eaten a small bowl of salt and pepper mantis shrimp, two palm-sized steamed crabs, and a crab with scallions and ginger. She was so full that she could hardly walk.
If I were to go to sleep right now, I definitely wouldn't be able to.
And it's not healthy either.
"Hey bro, how about we cast a couple of lines?"
Fu Mingzheng and Fu Mancang were tidying up the table when they heard this and thought they had misheard.
"What?"
"Let's cast our lines and go fishing, wanna come?"
Fu Wan patiently repeated herself, and Fu Ming immediately put down the rag in his hand.
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely go!"
What a joke! He's already got his fishing rod ready, just waiting for Fu Wan to bring up fishing!
"The cabin is full, Brother Haishun, then I'll trouble you to pack it up."
Fu Mancang readily agreed, "Okay, you guys go ahead. We'll rest after we're done packing, and then we'll take over Jinshui Daniu's shift later."
To be honest, they also wanted to fish, but they had been busy for several hours and now they had to go to sleep after cleaning up, since they would have to get up in the middle of the night to retrieve the nets.
What a pity! Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu got lucky. With so many people fishing, they're sure to have a good look!
After greeting Fu Ming, Fu Wan also spoke to Jack. Jack, who was having trouble sleeping, quickly pulled Robert and Tom back to the rest cabin to find a fishing rod.
"Ah Qing, are you fishing?"
Fu Wan found her fishing rod and happened to run into Fu Qing, who was watering the scallions.
Fu Qing yawned. "No, Awan, I want to sleep."
Although she had taken a nap before picking out the fish, that little bit of time was far from enough for Fu Qing. Now that she was full, she felt even sleepier.
"Okay, then go back to sleep for a while."
Fu Wan took her fishing rod and went up to the deck. The bait was ready-made. Ye Xiaocui had used most of the bait she had prepared for the longline fishing, but there were still a lot of small fish and shrimp when she was trawling. Fu Ming specially picked out some for fishing and threw them into the bait bucket.
"Wan, we're finally going fishing together again! Will you catch a tuna today?"
Robert arrived the fastest. He was in a very good mood, having been able to go fishing with Fu Wan before returning home, so he wouldn't have any regrets when he got back.
Fu Wan laughed out loud when she heard this, "How can you say for sure? You can't always expect me to hook up with a golden gun!"
While I'd love to have a tuna bite, Robert, that's highly unrealistic.
Robert shook his head dismissively and said with certainty, "No, Wan, we're not realistic, but you are."
Hearing his unwavering tone, Fu Wan felt even better.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. If I catch a tuna, you'll get half the credit!"
As they were talking, Fu Ming and Ye Lin and the others also came over.
Seeing Fu Wan's smiling face, Fu Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Ah Wan, what are you laughing at? Did you catch a fish?"
"What are you thinking? Robert said I'd catch another golden tuna today, so I'm overjoyed!"
As Fu Wan spoke, she cast her fishing rod into the water. Upon hearing the word "tuna," Fu Ming immediately perked up.
Tuna is his target today. He doesn't even like the yellowfin ones; he has to get a bluefin one!
After cleaning up the kitchen, Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu went up to the deck.
Upon seeing the two of them, Fu Wan casually asked, "Jinshui, Brother Daniu, did they fill the hold with longline fishing? How was the catch?"
She hadn't noticed when she was hauling in the net, and only realized the longline fishing had been put away when she went to find bait.
"Yes, it's been retrieved. When we came down from the rest cabin, Mancang and Hai Shun were putting their longline fishing hooks back in."
"Quite a haul, huh? Over twenty yellowfin seabream, fifteen or sixteen red seabream, and oh yeah, I think we also caught a few ribbonfish!"
"Not only that, there are also several sea bass, and there should be two tiger groupers. I heard Man Gang mention that they were all put in the live water tank!"
Fu Jinshui added that upon hearing this, Fu Wan simply tied her fishing rod to the railing on the side of the boat and opened the lid of the live water tank to take a look.
The lid of the live water tank was lifted, startling the fish inside, which instantly made a series of crackling sounds.
Fu Wan glanced at them and found that it was indeed similar to what Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu had said. In addition to what they had mentioned, there were also several stone gobies and two long-tailed birds that she hadn't seen in a long time. They were really beautiful.
"Ah Wan, come quick, your rod is moving!"
When Fu Ming was choosing a fishing spot, he deliberately chose one next to Fu Wan. As soon as he cast his line, he noticed that Fu Wan's fishing rod was swaying.
Good heavens, the fish is finally here!
Damn it, no wonder she's his sister! It hasn't even been two minutes, and a fish has already taken the bait!
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly stepped forward and pulled out her fishing rod. The rod was instantly bent. Goodness, she thought it was snagged on the bottom, but she didn't expect to actually catch a fish. This speed is too fast!
However, the fish didn't cause much trouble for long. Fu Wan pulled it out of the water in less than ten minutes.
"Holy crap, this isn't... that... that!"
Looking at the fish's familiar appearance, Fu Ming couldn't immediately recall what kind of fish it was.
"Three-knife fish".
"Yes, yes, three-knife fish! Good heavens, I remember this fish being very expensive!"
Fu Ming was extremely excited, and Fu Wan was also very happy. The three-knife fish was indeed valuable. The three-knife fish she had pulled up weighed about two pounds and could sell for at least fifty or sixty yuan.
After being pulled out of the water, the three-knife fish instinctively tried to shake off the hook in its mouth. Just then, a hand net was extended and caught the fish securely.
Fu Wan turned her head and saw that it was Fang Min.
"Fang Min, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I can't sleep. Ah Qing is asleep, so I came to check on her."
Fang Min's words were concise and to the point. Fu Wan nodded. Fang Min's arrival was just in time; she needed someone to help catch fish with a hand net.
Fu Wan removed the fishhook from the mouth of the three-knife fish. Ye Lin also found it rare, as he had never seen this kind of fish before. Fu Ming said it was valuable, so it must really be valuable.
Such a small fish sells for tens of dollars, which shows its status among sea fish.
"Holy crap, I caught a fish too!"
Fu Ming's envy lasted only a few seconds before the fishing rod in his hand stirred.
He quickly spun the reel to reel in the line, thinking, "This fish shouldn't be very big."
Although he could feel the pulling force, it was clearly different from the force he had used when fishing for giant grouper and yellowfin tuna.
While he was reeling in the fish, there was also some movement from Jack and Ye Lin's fishing rods.
With so many people eager to fish, Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu couldn't resist either, and hurriedly found fishing rods to join the fishing group.
"Haha, my fish is almost up!"
Fu Ming shouted excitedly, but before he could finish speaking, a dark figure descended from the sky, then snatched the fish he had caught with lightning speed and flew back into the sky.
"Fuck your grandpa!"
