After packing everything up, Fu Wan couldn't help but smile.
If a carrying pole were stuck between these two large bundles of things, she would be no different from Sha Wujing from Journey to the West.
After making a self-deprecating joke, I still had to get the things up there; thankfully, they weren't too heavy.
However, just as she was about to float to the surface again with two nets in her arms, a protrusion on a reef a meter away caught her eye.
No, why does that thing look so much like abalone?
But then she thought, if it really was abalone, that would be a bit outrageous, because to Fu Wan, that thing was about the same size as her daughter's head.
At first glance, it looks like a small rock growing on a large reef.
Out of sheer curiosity, Fu Wan put the things she was holding down again.
Sigh, I'll take a look anyway. If I don't figure out what this is, I'll be up in the middle of the night wondering what it is.
However, after she swam over, she realized that the thing was much bigger than a child's head.
That's almost as big as an adult's head.
Moreover, she could see the abalone meat through the gaps in the rocks.
How can there be such a huge abalone?!
Isn't this already sentient?
Fu Wan placed her hand on the abalone shell, and it's no exaggeration to say that even with her hand outstretched, she couldn't grasp the abalone.
The two-headed and three-headed abalone they had obtained before were already very rare, and Fu Wan didn't even know how to rate this thing.
This has to be called a super-sized abalone!
Normally, "a few heads" refers to how many are in a pound, but this thing, one of them probably weighs several pounds.
Regardless of whether abalone has become a spirit or not, there's no reason not to take it once you've encountered it.
Fu Wan bent her legs, reached out and pulled out the small knife tied to it, then used the back of the knife to cut along the bottom of the abalone shell.
As expected of an abalone weighing several pounds, its suction power was not to be underestimated. Fu Wan worked for more than half an hour, her back was covered in sweat, before she finally managed to pry it off.
After prying it off, she almost couldn't hold it and had to hold it with both hands to keep it steady.
Fortunately, abalone doesn't run away like fish. Fu Wan carefully examined the abalone.
However, she was completely shocked when she saw the color of the abalone meat.
This is even more shocking than seeing the giant Eastern Star Spot before.
That thing was actually black abalone, which should grow in New Zealand!
In modern times, black abalone holds a very high status. Not only is it expensive, but it is also extremely rare in the wild, making it a highly sought-after delicacy.
Fu Wan had only ever seen this thing on TV before, but she never expected to see the real thing today.
Most importantly, none of the ones on TV before were as big as the one she was holding!
Good heavens, I have no idea what this thing ate to grow up like this.
Of course, it's impossible for it to become a spirit. After the abalone was pried off the reef, the meat immediately began to shrink back. Fu Wan poked it with her hand, and it felt no different from the abalone before.
The meat looked pitch black, even blacker than the ink squirted out by a squid.
I just don't know how it tastes.
Moreover, it is said that the shell of this black gold abalone can be polished into handicrafts. Fu Wan touched the uneven shell surface a couple of times and could not see any difference from ordinary abalone shells.
They were all ordinary reef colors. Fu Wan naturally added the black gold abalone, such a rare item, to her collection. After all, it takes eight to ten years for an abalone to grow into a two-headed abalone, and this kind of black gold abalone would take at least several decades.
Moreover, black abalone has an extremely high meat yield, and it tastes very good when sliced, blanched, or pan-fried.
Most importantly, black abalone have extremely high requirements for water quality and can only grow in unpolluted water. Therefore, not only is their meat edible, but their internal organs are also non-toxic.
Thinking this, Fu Wan swam back to the reef and searched carefully.
These black abalone couldn't have appeared out of thin air, nor could there have been only one, so there must be quite a few black abalone around here.
Moreover, since abalone feed on seaweed on the reefs, and the seaweed grows wildly in patches, the probability of finding black abalone again in this area is very high.
No wonder Fu Wan praised herself for being smart; and believe it or not, there were several abalone on the back of that reef.
Fu Wan had originally planned to grit her teeth and pry the abalone off to take with her, but when she squatted down to examine them closely, she immediately gave up on the idea.
∑(?Д?)
!!
Because under those rocks next to us, as far as the eye can see, there are abalone everywhere!
Moreover, the shell looked exactly like the one she had just pried off, only it wasn't as big as the one in her hand!
With so many abalone, if I were to pry them open by myself, I probably wouldn't be able to keep up until dawn.
Ye Xiaocui and the others would get anxious if they stayed at the bottom of the sea for too long.
So Fu Wan almost immediately gave up on the idea of fighting alone.
Even if Fu Ming's diving skills aren't great, there's still the experienced Boss Fu, a former sea monster!
So Fu Wan immediately stuffed the large abalone into the net, then picked up the net from the ground and swam to the surface of the sea as fast as she could.
She had previously dived to a depth of about 30 to 40 meters, and since she was also carrying something in her hands, it took her more than ten minutes to swim to the surface.
The closer Fu Wan got to the water, the more worried she became. She wondered if her own boat was nearby. If not, she would have to stay afloat and wait for them to come and find her.
However, what Fu Wan feared did not happen. Ever since she went diving, Ye Xiaocui had gone to the cabin to remind Fu Laoda not to sail too far.
If he weren't still trawling, Boss Fu would have simply stopped and waited for his daughter to come back.
So as soon as Fu Wan surfaced, she saw that her family's fishing boat was less than 20 meters away from where she was.
Since it was nighttime and she couldn't see clearly, Fu Wan thought for a moment and then took out a bamboo whistle from her pocket.
This thing was a gift from Bai Qianzhou, but she hadn't used it yet. Now that she couldn't hear anyone whistling on the ship, she might as well give it a try.
However, she also found it strange that although they should be trawling, there was no sound of a diesel engine on their boat, and the boat was not moving.
Could it be that the net has already been set up?
Never mind, I'll get them to come pick me up first!
With so much stuff in her hands, Fu Wan didn't want to swim any further.
"Can you make any noise?"
Just as Fu Ming was about to step forward and untie the rope on the net, he heard a clear whistle.
Where did that whistle come from on this vast ocean?
"I heard it too, it sounded like it was coming from there!"
Ye Lin walked to the side of the boat and tried to look in the direction of the sound, facing the sea breeze.
"Awan, that's Awan! Uncle, hurry and sail over there!"
Fu Liang ran very fast, and when Fu Laoda heard the shouts, he quickly restarted the boat.
He thought his daughter was where he had moored the boat, but he was wrong.
As the ship drew closer, Fu Wan threw the things she was holding onto the deck.
"Wan, you must be exhausted. Quickly have some hot water!"
