"My goodness, what kind of fish did they catch in their net?"
Fu Wan was completely shocked. Ye Xiaocui was busy picking out fish when she heard Fu Wan's voice. She stood up and squinted at the fish on Fu Ming's boat.
"Oh dear, why are all the fish red?!"
There are so many kinds of red fish!
It seems they had a good haul too. The mother and daughter were happy, but they didn't stop working, as there were still so many fish to process.
Just minutes before, when the net was pulled up, Fu Ming was still in high spirits, and he was the one who untied the rope on the net.
The red of the deck really caught Jiang Chunlan's eye.
"Wow, wow, wow, how come there are so many red carp?!"
Although the red carp has the word "carp" in its name, it is completely different from freshwater carp.
Its scientific name is Red Bass, also known as Red Perch, and it belongs to the deep-sea fish family.
Red carp has very high nutritional value, and because of its festive color, it is a common dish served on the table in the Fujia Village area when prominent families hold celebrations.
Furthermore, steamed red carp tastes especially delicious. When Jiang Chunlan was pregnant with Fu Liang, Fu Liang's father and Fu Laoda caught one when they went out to sea, and she still remembers the taste.
It was the best sea fish she had ever eaten in her life.
After listening to Jiang Chunlan's explanation of the fish's origin, Fu Ming had only one thought in his mind: this fish is valuable!
Sure enough, the goddess Mazu did not forget him, and the harvest he gained this time was truly outstanding.
"Auntie, let's quickly pick out these fish!"
He was full of energy and dragged over several fish baskets to quickly sort through the fish.
This net contains mostly red koi, but not all of them are red koi. Strangely enough, besides the red koi which are red, there are quite a few other red fish in the net.
Among them were quite a few red shrimp, which puzzled Fu Ming.
"Auntie, look! These shrimp are all cooked and turned red!"
Jiang Chunlan dragged over several fish baskets. Hearing Fu Ming ask her, she came closer to take a look and exclaimed, "Hey, these are red prawns!"
Now it was her turn to get excited. "Amin, we really made a fortune on this voyage. It's been so long since anyone has managed to get their hands on these red prawns."
Red devil shrimp is also known locally as ghost shrimp. Why is it called that? Because although this shrimp tastes very good, especially when eaten raw, the meat is very tender, but there are risks involved in eating it raw.
Moreover, the best part of the red shrimp is its brain, but as everyone knows, shrimp brains are full of parasites, and many people get sick after eating them, and in severe cases, they can even die.
After hearing what Jiang Chunlan said, Fu Ming was so frightened that he almost dropped the red shrimp in his hand.
"This...this can kill people! Can we even sell it for money?!"
Jiang Chunlan gave him a knowing look and smiled mysteriously, "Aming, the more dangerous something is, the more people like to try it. Especially some people, who just love red shrimp."
"Besides, these shrimp taste good when cooked, so there won't be any problems."
Fu Ming finally felt relieved after hearing this.
At this moment, Boss Fu's boat was less than two meters away from them, and Fu Wan stood by the boat and shouted to them.
"Brother, Aunt, how's the harvest on your side?"
This undoubtedly hit Fu Ming's sweet spot, and he excitedly shouted out a string of words:
"Ah Wan, we have lots of red carp here, and quite a few red shrimp too!"
Red carp?
No wonder the whole boat was red. Fu Wan gave him a thumbs up, then sat down to continue reporting the situation to Ye Xiaocui.
When Fu turned his head and saw his wife and daughter still busy picking up the fish, he thought of going over and throwing down the trawl net to do it again.
It's still early, only a little past one in the afternoon. We can haul in another net and then head to Yanwo Island for a look.
Just as he was about to stand up, he inadvertently noticed that a ship had gotten very close to his two ships.
It looks somewhat familiar.
Because Boss Fu slowed down the boat, the diesel engine wasn't very loud, so Fu Wan immediately noticed the sound of a third boat.
She put down the fish she was carrying, stood up, and looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, a fishing boat was speeding toward them.
"Isn't that Qian Xiaohua's boat?"
Fu Wan remembered clearly that the boat looked exactly like this, since they had only met last time because of the bamboo tube trap.
What are they trying to do?
"Dad, Qian Xiaohua's boat is coming!"
Fu Wan called out to Fu Laoda, and then made sure to notify Fu Liang on the boat next to her.
Even though the boat was moving very slowly, Boss Fu didn't turn off the diesel engine. He wanted to see what kind of trouble this family was up to this time.
Qian Xiaohua's boat was moving very fast, and in just a few minutes, it was less than five or six meters away from Fu Wan's boat.
"Qian Xiaohua, what's wrong with you? This is our fishing area!"
Before Qian Xiaohua could speak, Qian Xiaobao, who was steering the boat, replied, his words full of roguishness.
"This area isn't marked with your names. We just like operating here, what's it to you?"
Fu Wan was so angry at his shameless behavior that she laughed. It's true that when people are shameless, they are invincible.
Fu Ming picked up a stick from the deck and angrily said, "You'd better stay away from our ship. If you bump into anything, our two ships are enough to take you down right here!"
Qian Xiaobao cursed under his breath and was about to retort when Shen Dongsheng stopped him.
"Brother, let's stick to trawling and avoid a fight."
He had been beaten up by Fu Ming several times, and now that he was in the vast ocean, he didn't want to drink seawater until he was full.
Qian Xiaobao didn't pay much attention to these words at first, but when he got closer, he realized that his boat was much smaller than Boss Fu's boat.
Now he dared not be sarcastic, but he was still unwilling to give up. Last time he returned from the police station, the villagers laughed at him when they heard about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of going out to fish this time to avenge his previous humiliation.
Unfortunately, my sister's family and I were just unlucky. After half a day at sea, we only caught some worthless fish and didn't even have a bucket of crabs.
Qian Xiaohua had just seen fishing boats operating in the distance, even setting up trawl nets, so she decided to drive over and try her luck.
Just as everyone was arguing, Fu Wan suddenly noticed the churning seawater not far away, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight, and a large flock of seabirds circling over there.
There are schools of fish!
Discovering the fish at this point undoubtedly added fuel to the already tense atmosphere.
Qian Xiaohua, who was behind her, kept her eyes scanning the surroundings.
She noticed Fu Wan looking at the distant sea, so she looked over as well. Just then, a seabird swooped down to the surface, snatched a fish, and flew away.
"Brother, there are schools of fish over there!"
Qian Xiaohua instantly became incredibly energetic, and her quick thinking proved to be the key to finding schools of fish by following these two boats!
Fu Wan wasn't about to let them have their way. This was originally the fishing area where her family worked, and she was the one who spotted the fish first.
You really think she's good-natured!
"Dad, drive that way, there are schools of fish!"
She wanted to see if Qian Xiaohua's little shabby boat would dare to approach them after the two boats sailed past!
