Lunch was prepared by Fu Mancang and Fu Haishun, who volunteered to do it, so Fu Wan let them do it.
Fishermen's cooking isn't that bad; the simplest way is to just blanch or steam it.
There's no need for so many people to cook. With Ye Lin's hands free, and eyeing the tuna Fu Wan had caught, he simply called Fu Wan to pick up the fishing rod.
When Fu Wan was fishing earlier, the others didn't come away empty-handed either.
Fang Min caught a blue grouper weighing about two pounds, Fu Qing caught two red carp, Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui caught two sea bass, while Ye Lin, apart from the first Shi Jiugong, had no other catch.
Since she had nothing else to do and had found out about the sea willow tree, Fu Wan was in a good mood and simply accepted Ye Lin's invitation, taking out her fishing rod again.
There's still quite a bit of shrimp bait left from what we picked out earlier, and it'll come in handy now.
Ye Lin was using his own bait when he saw the bait bucket next to Fu Wan's legs. Suddenly, he remembered the time when Fu Ming deliberately stole Fu Wan's bait.
It seems that every time Fu Wan catches a fish with her bait, there's a different surprise.
With that thought in mind, Ye Lin shamelessly ran up to Fu Wan.
"Ah Wan, give me some bait!"
Fu Wan was enjoying a bag of shredded squid when she heard this and gave a mumbled reply.
"Okay, take it yourself."
Thanks to Fu Ming, Fu Wan has become quite accustomed to others asking for bait.
There's only a little bait around, so let's just take it.
The two cast their lines together, and surprisingly, Ye Lin was the first to make a sound.
Feeling the pull from the fishing rod in his hand, Ye Lin felt incredibly happy, becoming even more certain that Fu Wan's bait had a unique magic.
Just then, Fu Daniu passed by and saw Ye Lin pulling in the line. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what kind of fish did you catch?"
"I don't know, I'm still out for a walk!"
Ye Lin smiled and replied, but he didn't dare to relax his work at all.
Seeing this, Fu Daniu simply didn't leave and stood aside to watch the commotion. He was thinking that if Ye Lin ran out of strength, he could come up and help.
The more Ye Lin wandered around, the more uncertain he felt.
He's caught tuna before, but the way this fish moved didn't feel like a tuna at all.
Tuna are fast and have a strong pull, so they wouldn't pull in the opposite direction like that. The fish he's caught now also has a strong pull, but the angle of its pull is very tricky.
It looks more like the Gt that we caught before, also known as the bullhead trevally.
Or other fish with strong pulling force.
Fu Wan was also watching from the side. About ten minutes later, Ye Lin's forehead veins bulged and he shouted.
"Damn it, get up!"
He pulled hard on the fishing rod and the fish instinctively leaped out of the water.
Under the sunlight, the fish shimmered, its entire body a beautiful blue, with only its tail and back showing a touch of fluorescent green.
Fu Daniu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately reached out with the hand-held net in his hand.
"Hey, what a pity, it's a big demon head knife!"
It's pretty, but it doesn't taste good and isn't worth much money.
After struggling for nearly twenty minutes, Ye Lin's hands were sore. At least it was a fish he had caught himself, and even if it tasted bad, it was better than coming home empty-handed.
While Ye Lin was outwitting and outmaneuvering Ghost Head Knife, Fu Wan pulled up a golden threadfin bream weighing about a pound.
She unloaded the fish and threw it into the bucket, then immediately tossed it out.
While she was watching the commotion, her fishing rod started moving again.
Haha, looks like I'm pretty lucky today.
This scene made Ye Lin, who was resting nearby, extremely envious.
Putting everything else aside, the shad I just pulled up, although it weighed over ten pounds, was still less valuable than the golden threadfin bream that Fu Wan caught.
The key is that it's only fun during the tug-of-war; afterward, you're exhausted like a dog.
No way, he refuses to believe he won't catch something good today!
Thinking this, Ye Lin re-baited the hook and cast it out. Seeing this, Fu Daniu got itchy and simply found a fishing rod as well.
Fu Wan's fishing rod was bent several times, making a constant creaking sound. Ye Lin's attention was drawn to it.
"Ah Wan, is this another golden lance?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "It's hard to say, but I didn't leave the line very long this time, so it's probably not a golden gun."
The fish was very strong; Fu Wan's arms started to ache after she had been playing with it for more than ten minutes.
Fortunately, she was wearing gloves and wasn't particularly addicted to fishing; otherwise, if she had fished like that every day, the calluses on her hands would probably be several feet thick.
About ten minutes later, Fang Min and the others, who had finished tidying up the deck and were preparing to cast the net, also gathered around.
All eyes were on Fu Wan's fishing rod, and just then, the fish was finally pulled to the surface.
"Sergeant, he's a sergeant!"
Fu Haishun came to call everyone to eat, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon Fu Wan pulling a fish out of the water.
"Good heavens, it really is a sergeant! Good heavens, it probably weighs more than ten pounds!"
"More than that, I suspect it weighs twenty pounds!"
Hearing the commotion, Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui, who were busy in the kitchen, also ran out.
Fang Min and Ye Lin, armed with large iron hooks, swiftly hooked the sergeant fish and pulled it aboard when it was brought to the side of the boat.
Looking at the sergeant fish in front of her, which was of a decent size, Fu Wan smiled with satisfaction.
Sergeant fish, also known locally as "Mongzai fish" or "Hailie fish," has a long, oval-shaped body that resembles a laterally flattened torpedo.
The cobra has a slightly flattened head, a dark brown back, and a lighter-colored belly with a grayish tinge.
It is called the Sergeant Fish because it has nine black and white stripes on its back. These stripes are usually five black and four white, which look very similar to the rank stripes on military uniforms from a distance.

Serpent fish are pelagic migratory fish that generally feed on plankton and small invertebrates.
Young cobia are very bold and often follow sharks around, picking up scraps that leak from their mouths.
These fish often appear in groups, and Fu Wan guessed that they might also appear in the trawl nets later.
Thinking about it this way, Fu Wan felt even better.
Because the flesh of the cobra is very tender and delicious, whether it is eaten as sashimi or steamed, the taste is superb.
Furthermore, cobra has certain medicinal value, which is why its price has remained high.
Nowadays, even if cobia aren't priced like grouper, they can still cost around one yuan per kilogram.
Fu Wan stepped forward, took out the fishhook, and checked the wound on the sergeant fish. Unfortunately, because it was quite heavy, and Ye Lin and Fang Min had used the fishhook, the fish would not survive even if it was put into the live water tank.
Helpless, Fu Wan could only instruct Fu Mancang and the others to clean the fish.
Sergeant fish contains very rich vitamins, which makes the fish meat particularly prone to spoilage.
Fish that have just been caught should be processed as soon as possible, otherwise the fish meat will spoil, which will not only affect the taste, but may even lead to food poisoning.
