"I'll go down and check first. It's fine if I eat by myself."
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu didn't even raise an eyebrow. A yellowfin tuna weighing fifty or sixty pounds could easily fetch several hundred yuan.
But reality is reality. The fish is already in such a state; feeling sorry for it will only affect your mood.
To be honest, he could sell it, but the price certainly wouldn't be that attractive. Considering that his own daughter had gone to great lengths to get it, Boss Fu was absolutely unwilling to sell it cheaply!
After the father and daughter went downstairs, they went straight to the deck. At this time, Ye Lin and Fu Mancang had drained the blood from the tuna.
Upon seeing Boss Fu approaching, Ye Lin hurriedly greeted him.
"Uncle, come and take a look. Is this tuna prepared well?"
To be honest, in the past, when it came to bleeding tuna, Ye Lin was only the assistant to Fu Ming and Boss Fu.
Come to think of it, today is the first time he has left his two mentors to do this work on his own with others.
In fact, he was the one in charge.
He thought that Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui, as fishermen, would definitely know more than him, but in practice, they were not as skilled as him at bloodletting.
Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui were also helpless about this. There was nothing they could do. They rarely encountered tuna when they went out to sea on ships in the past.
Even if they do encounter one, it's not the young boatmen's turn to board. It's usually the older boatmen who rush to get on first, so the boat owner will give them a bigger share of the valuable catch because of the tuna.
They had heard that Fu Wan's shipping business was good before they boarded the ship, but they never imagined it would be this good.
I only spent a day at sea, and I was already cleaning the tuna myself.
But when they thought about how Fu Wan had just snatched the tuna back from the shark's mouth, Fu Mancang and the others couldn't help but admire her.
Let alone Fu Wan being a woman, even if they were all grown men, they wouldn't have jumped into the water without a word and fought the sharks head-on when they were surrounded by them.
That's so bold and decisive!
Their success is by no means entirely based on the vague and uncertain sea transport industry.
Boss Fu stepped forward to inspect the tuna, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, Ah Lin. Cut some meat off your belly; we'll have sashimi for lunch."
"Huh, sashimi for lunch?"
"Give us some?"
Ye Lin was stunned, and Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui were even more doubtful of their ears.
They looked at Fu Wan and Boss Fu with suspicion, and Fu Wan nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, while it's still fresh, anyway, it won't fetch a high price after being bitten by a shark like that."
Upon hearing this, Fu Mancang hurriedly said, "Awan, you can't let us eat that! This is tuna, it's very expensive outside."
“That’s right. Even if it doesn’t sell for a high price, it’s still more expensive than pork. Listen to me, sell as much as you can. Ah Wan, it’s a waste to give it to us.”
Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui tried to persuade him, and just then, Fu Haishun and Fu Daniu woke up.
Upon seeing the yellowfin lance, which was half a person tall, on the deck, the two men beamed with joy.
But when they heard that the fish was for them to eat at noon, Fu Daniu and Fu Haishun just shook their heads.
What if this way of eating leads to Ah Wan going broke?
No, Ah Wan is too good to them, they can't eat!
Fu Wan felt a headache coming on when she saw how stubborn they were.
Fortunately, Ye Lin was someone who listened to advice. He cut wherever Fu Wan told him to without hesitation.
Looking at the tempting tuna meat, Fu Haishun and the others all showed expressions of regret.
How can I eat such good and expensive fish by myself!
"Alright, you're all grown men, stop being so coy. On my daughter's boat, you have to listen to her."
"If I'm good to you, then do your job well. When you go back to the village, don't say too much, lest you give people something to think about!"
Boss Fu has the guts; with just a few simple words, he subdued Fu Haishun and the others.
There was no way around it; Boss Fu was of the same generation as their father. Not to mention them, even their father was very respectful in front of Boss Fu.
After Ye Lin cut off a large piece of tuna, he wrapped the rest up and put it in the freezer. Seeing this, Fu Wan picked up her fishing rod and glanced at her watch.
It's probably still over an hour before we start netting. There are tuna in this area, should I cast a couple more times?
But considering that she still had the task of finding the sea willow tree, Fu Wan thought for a moment and went to find Boss Fu again.
You can't just blindly search for sea willow trees. The ocean is so vast; if she swam to every single one, she'd be exhausted.
Ask Boss Fu; he might have some information about the sea willow tree.
When Fu Wan mentioned the sea willow tree, Boss Fu scratched his head and thought for a long time.
"I haven't heard of this thing in a long time, and I can't think of where to find it right now."
Fu Wan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. However, Dong Haiyang, who was just about to let Boss Fu take the helm while he went to the restroom, immediately mentioned it upon hearing this.
"Sea willow? I know that!"
"Really? Uncle Dong, do you know which sea area has sea willow trees?"
Fu Wan was overjoyed; she was even planning to call Chen Balang and the others on the radio to ask them.
Dong Haiyang nodded. "I overheard it a few years ago when I was repairing someone's boat. The person was fishing and accidentally discovered a patch of sea willow trees."
He picked two and brought them back, and I heard he sold them to the pharmacy at the city's Central Hospital.
"I was curious, so I asked about the location of that area of the sea..."
At this point, Dong Haiyang glanced at the dashboard.
"I remember it should be in the northern sea area, but the latitude and longitude are a bit far from here."
According to our flight path, if we head in that direction now, we should arrive around 2 PM.
Dong Haiyang picked up a pen and wrote down the latitude and longitude on a blank page of the nautical log, and then drew the approximate location on a paper map.
He had a good memory and liked to read newspapers, so the boat owner must have been referring to this location.
Fu Wan glanced at the icon and gestured on the map with her hand.
"Hey, isn't that near the high seas, a bit close to the border?"
"Yes, but it didn't cross the line, so there won't be any problem."
Saying that it hasn't crossed the line is actually a rogue's statement.
While the line may not have crossed on the surface of the sea, no one would be squatting on the seabed to watch over it, whether it has crossed or not.
"Okay, let's drive that way then!"
Fu Wan made up her mind. She had already promised Sun Youjin that she would do everything she could to help him find the sea willow tree.
I just didn't expect that place to be so far away. But it's okay, it's only a few hours' flight, I can just haul it over in a net.
Fu Laoda and Dong Haiyang naturally listened to Fu Wan. After thinking for a moment, Fu Wan also told Chen Balang and the others who were following behind, so that they wouldn't be confused.
Fu Wan's original idea was that, since it was so far away, Chen Balang and the others didn't need to go with the "Riding the Waves" ship.
However, Chen Balang and his crew had plenty of diesel fuel on their boat, and Fu Ming was especially excited when he heard that they were going to dive at the border.
So the four ships headed towards the border line together.
