This fish is usually steamed or cooked as sashimi. Overall, the taste is okay, and the fish meat is tender, but it needs to be handled properly, otherwise it can easily have a noticeable seaweed flavor.
Fu Wan glanced at the striped rock bream in the bucket upon hearing this. "Dad, these two striped rock bream are still very lively. Let them stay in the bucket for now. I'm too lazy to clean them up right now."
Killing and bleeding fish sounds simple, but it's actually quite troublesome in practice. Fu Wan was focused on getting into the water and had no time for this.
Besides, she didn't really like eating rock bream. It was a type of fish that could easily taste bad if not handled properly. Rather than dealing with it now, she decided to wait until she got back and see how much Fu San was charging for it.
"Sure, do you want to come fishing with me now?"
Boss Fu extended an invitation; he was bored all alone and wanted someone to go fishing with him.
Unfortunately, Fu Ming was still steering the boat, while Wang Shuo was holed up in the cockpit and wouldn't come out.
Tsk, this young man from the city is unreliable. He was shouting that he wanted to catch big sea fish when he got on the boat this morning, but now he's probably thinking about learning how to sail!
Faced with Boss Fu's enthusiastic invitation, Fu Wan could only smile and shake her head in refusal.
"Hehe, Dad, you're too late. I'm not fishing. When we get to the deep sea, I want to go swimming with my brother."
"What? You're going fishing and hunting?"
Boss Fu immediately perked up; it had been quite a while since he'd been in the water.
Fu Wan noticed his eagerness and immediately interrupted his thoughts.
"Dad, don't even think about going into the water. Just enjoy fishing for fun. Your rheumatism has only just gotten a little better these past few days. If it flares up again in the water, Mom will definitely start nagging you again!"
Thinking of his wife's invincible nagging skills, Boss Fu sighed and had no choice but to give up the idea of going into the water.
"Oh dear, your mother is really something. She wasn't this nagging when she was young. How come she's so talkative now that she's older, just like that monk from Journey to the West..."
Unable to go to sea, Boss Fu couldn't help but complain.
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xiaocui came out of the rest cabin.
"What are you two talking about?"
Boss Fu stammered, "No... I didn't say anything."
However, Ye Xiaocui could easily see that Boss Fu was feeling guilty. Besides, she had heard Boss Fu's voice as soon as she got up and before she even left the rest cabin.
"Hmph, you think I didn't hear you, Fu Gouwa? I'm nagging? Who am I nagging for! Who's the one screaming in pain every night!"
"Oh dear, honey, I was just kidding, don't take it to heart!"
Boss Fu immediately slid down and apologized, "It was my nagging, it was me, it was me."
Seeing that Ye Xiaocui's expression hadn't recovered, Old Master Fu hurriedly and frantically winked at Fu Wan, thinking, "Oh dear, what's wrong with my daughter today? Why doesn't she know how to smooth things over in this emergency?"
Unfortunately, Fu Wan kept looking at the sea and then at the sky, unable to see Fu Laoda's plea for help.
Wow, this sea is really big, and the sky is really high too. If she were to go and persuade Ye Xiaocui, she wouldn't want to get scolded!
Hmph, if Ye Xiaocui hadn't come out, Fu Wan would have had to say something to Fu Laoda. His mother's nagging was for his own good, so how could he say that Ye Xiaocui was as nagging as Tang Sanzang!
Now you know you were wrong, tsk tsk, serves you right!
Seeing that he couldn't rely on his daughter, Boss Fu could only continue to smile apologetically and apologize to Ye Xiaocui.
"Hehe, honey, it's my fault. I don't know how to talk. Come and see, I caught a lot of fish, all of them are your favorites!"
Ye Xiaocui glanced at the catch in the fish box, then turned to see Su Ran and Wen Yue also leaving the rest cabin. Only then did she suppress her anger and mutter a curse under her breath.
"Damn it, you just wait, wait until tonight and see who's going to rub that lousy medicated wine on you!"
Fu sighed inwardly, wishing he could slap himself right then and there.
It's all the old village chief's fault. He always complained that his wife was a nag, which brainwashed him so much that he subconsciously thought Ye Xiaocui was also a nag.
Su Ran and Wen Yue were completely unaware of what was happening on the deck. When they walked onto the deck, they were still covering their mouths and yawning.
"Ah Wan, is this the deep sea area? Can we go fishing now?"
Wen Yue rubbed her eyes and asked impatiently.
For more than an hour, the ship's engine was quite loud, but it did not prevent Wen Yue from falling asleep.
Not only did she fall asleep, but she also had a dream. In her dream, she was in the deep sea. Fu Wan pulled her and Su Ran to go fishing. However, just as a fish took the bait, a big wild boar suddenly jumped out of the boat and chased her, dragging the rod as they sped across the sea.
Seeing that the wild boar was about to catch up with her, Wen Yue was terrified. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she found herself still lying on the iron bunk bed in the rest cabin, taking a nap.
The fishing rod she was holding in her dream was actually Su Ran's nylon jacket that she had taken off.
Wen Yue was too embarrassed to bring it up, and Fu Wan didn't notice either, replying, "We should be there soon. The fishing spots here are good; you can go get your fishing rods and try them out. My dad has already caught several fish along the way."
After saying that, Fu Wan pointed in the direction of the nail plate. Upon hearing that Boss Fu had already caught the fish, Wen Yue's eyes lit up. She immediately stopped thinking about the wild boar and turned around to walk quickly towards Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui.
Seeing this, Su Ran followed closely behind, while Fu Wan herself went into the rest cabin and dragged out her large wooden box from under the iron bunk bed.
Inside the wooden box were Fu Wan's usual spare clean clothes. Fu Wan took out the cloth bag at the bottom. As soon as she opened it, Fu Ling, who was sleeping in bed, heard the noise and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Before Fu Wan could answer, Fu Ling recognized what Fu Wan was holding.
"Hey, isn't this the outfit you wear when you go swimming?"
"Mom, are you going into the water to catch fish?"
Fu Wan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, it's been a long time since we went swimming. Do you guys want to eat some lobster?"
"think!"
Fu Ling swallowed hard and nodded frantically. Qin Mingzhu had already been woken up when Fu Ling started talking.
Upon hearing that Fu Wan was going into the water, the two children were very sensible and immediately got out of bed and ran outside.
"Let's go outside and take a look. Mom, you change your clothes here!"
Before leaving, Fu Ling mischievously reminded Fu Wan, "Mom, when we grow up, can you take us swimming to catch crayfish?"
Seeing her daughter's expectant face, Fu Wan couldn't bear to refuse. "You don't need to grow up. When the weather gets warmer next year, I'll take you to catch fish in the shallow water!"
Over the past year, both of them have made remarkable progress in swimming and diving, and their diving time and depth are much better than those of children their age.
If the weather hadn't already cooled down, Fu Wan would have taken them into the water when they were near Coconut Island.
Unfortunately, the seawater was a bit cold, and the children were not adults after all. Even though they had small-sized diving suits that Fu Wan had specially bought, Fu Wan did not dare to take them into the water easily.
