Fu Wan has seen many mud crabs in recent years, but she has hardly ever seen a real yellow roe crab. Even if there are some with more roe, they are not pure yellow roe crabs.
But for some reason, after listening to Boss Fu's description, Fu Wan had a strong intuition that Ye Jianguo and his group had most likely encountered genuine yellow butter crabs!
"Dad, are Uncle and the others still catching crabs on the island right now?"
Fu Wan asked Boss Fu, and he laughed heartily.
"Haha, you guessed it! Your uncle called, said a few words to let me know he was safe, and then hung up in a hurry, saying he was going to catch crabs!"
"Hey, that sounds really exciting! It's just a shame we're so far away and have to drag our nets around, otherwise we'd all go over and get a share!"
Fu Laoda couldn't help but feel sorry, but even so, he definitely wouldn't go there on purpose.
Since there were several people on board the "Fully Loaded Return" ship, even if there were several thousand kilograms of crabs on that small deserted island, they should be able to catch most of them.
"By the way, shouldn't we get the internet up and running?"
Boss Fu suddenly realized what was going on, and Fu Wan responded, "Yes, that's exactly what I was just about to say."
After saying that, she glanced at the engine data and saw that the trawl net behind was indeed quite full, making it difficult for the boat to tow it.
"Then I'll slow the boat down, and you guys go to the back and haul in the nets!"
"With such strong winds and rain just now, I wonder how much of a catch we had in our trawl nets!"
Fu Laoda couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about the storm that had just passed.
He looked up at the sky again. The rain had come and gone quickly. The clouds had dispersed, and the moon was half-hidden, presenting a serene and peaceful scene.
It looks like there shouldn't be any rain.
Fu Laoda breathed a sigh of relief. The weather at sea is unpredictable, and sudden rain and wind are common. As long as there is no major disaster such as a waterspout or tornado, there will generally be no problem.
Even if there wasn't much seafood in that net, it doesn't matter. The long night has only just begun, and we can at least make two more nets.
Despite this plan, Boss Fu still wanted to go to the back to check on the seafood. Dong Haiyang, who had just returned from the restroom, took over the helm.
"Big brother, you go to the back and keep an eye on the internet cafe. Same old rule, after you're done setting up the internet, you can go rest, and we'll switch shifts when the internet is shut down!"
"good!"
Boss Fu readily agreed and turned to walk towards the deck without hesitation.
He was quite confident in Dong Haiyang's boat-handling skills. As soon as he reached the deck, he saw the net bag slowly being raised onto the deck.
Fu Wan looked around and found that the trawl net showed no signs of damage, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a brand new trawl net. The old trawl net, which had several holes, hasn't been repaired yet. If this net gets torn too, we'll only have the last few spare nets left on the ship.
Speaking of which, these two new nets were a gift from the shipyard when we bought the ship. Fu Wan thought to herself that when she went back this time, she would have to buy two more new nets to keep on board.
She had just looked at it; the net that had been torn by the wood was basically beyond repair, with nearly twenty holes of varying sizes. She thought she might as well cut it up and use it as material to patch other nets in the future.
"Hey, this net looks like it's yielding a decent catch!"
Fu Ming looked around the net and sighed. To be honest, with such a strong wind and rain just now, he was afraid that the net that came up was just an empty one.
Fu Wan nodded upon hearing this. Although the net bag wasn't as bulging as it had been the night before, it wasn't much smaller either.
"Brother, you open the web bag!"
"I'll do it?"
Fu Ming was somewhat surprised, and then rubbed his hands together.
"I'll do it, but Dalinzi, come with me. This net rope is so big, it's hard for me to pull it apart!"
Fu Ming rolled his eyes at the invitation. He wasn't stupid; his luck with trawling hadn't been very good for the past two years.
Ye Lin was not far from Fu Ming, and when he was suddenly called out, he didn't hesitate.
"Alright, let's drive it together, you two brothers!"
After saying that, he strode forward. Both brothers were experts at untying ropes. Even with their eyes closed, they could easily untie the ropes of the net bag.
With that familiar whooshing sound, the contents of the net bag poured out.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and when they regained their senses, they found that a mountain of squid had appeared in front of them.
To be precise, it's a rocket-shaped squid mountain in very good condition.
Without going into too much detail, each rocket squid in sight was about 40 to 50 centimeters long and weighed at least 1.5 kilograms.
Furthermore, many of the squid appeared to be still moving, and their tubes were very transparent, indicating they were extremely fresh.
"Great stuff! Everyone hurry up and pick out your catch, haha, rocket squid are priced really well lately!"
Seeing such a harvest, Boss Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the wind and rain earlier didn't have much of an impact. This net of rocket squid must weigh at least five or six thousand catties. A couple of days ago, he heard from his fishing buddies that Fu San was selling rocket squid for more than four yuan a catty these days. Squid this big and good should be worth at least five yuan a catty.
As they were talking, Fu Ming and Ye Lin had already picked up rakes and started digging open the fish mountain to make it easier to sort through the fish.
When they dug, a round thing popped out of it.
"Holy crap, where did this broken bucket come from!"
Fu Ming cursed angrily. He had thought the bulging place was a pile of garbage, but it turned out to be a plastic bucket that had rolled down and almost hit his foot.
Luckily he dodged quickly, otherwise he would most likely have fallen if he had stepped on that bucket.
Fu Ming glanced inside but didn't see any fish. Muttering to himself that it was bad luck, he immediately prepared to kick the broken plastic bucket aside.
At that moment, Fu Wan glanced over unintentionally and suddenly noticed something moving in the bucket.
"Brother, wait!"
Fu Wan stopped Fu Ming's actions, and after speaking, she took a step forward and lifted the plastic bucket up.
Inside the plastic bucket was a jellyfish larger than a basketball. The jellyfish was motionless, but a crunching sound could be heard coming from underneath it.
"Hey, what's that noise? Are there crabs down there?"
Fu Ming looked over curiously, but Fu Wan shook her head and simply lifted the bucket upside down.
The jellyfish in the bucket fell out with a thud, and at the same time, what was underneath the jellyfish was revealed.
"Holy crap, this mantis shrimp is huge!"
"Wow, it even has patterns!"
Fu Ming exclaimed in surprise, and everyone who heard the commotion looked over.
When Boss Fu saw the mantis shrimp that was longer than his forearm, his eyes widened in surprise.
Fu Wan reacted quickly, stepping forward immediately and grabbing two mantis shrimp that were wagging their tails and trying to escape.
Once you catch it, you'll get a better sense of how big the mantis shrimp is.
It's no exaggeration to say that even five or six ordinary mantis shrimps laid out wouldn't be as long as the mantis shrimp in Fu Wan's hand.
Especially its thick tail, which was almost as wide as Fu Wan's arm.
