The battle between the killer whale and the humpback whale was over, and apart from some seabirds occasionally swooping down to hunt, there was no other movement on the surface of the sea.
The trawl net on the boat was then thrown overboard by Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui, while Fu Wan took out the cooked shrimp from the steel pot, carefully peeled them, and fed them to Fu Ling and Fu Yun.
Fu Yun picked up a shrimp. Having lived with Fu Wan and the others for so long, she could skillfully separate the shrimp meat from the shell. Fu Wan thought she wanted to eat it herself, but to her surprise, the next second, Fu Yun held the peeled shrimp directly to Fu Wan's mouth, looking at her expectantly.
Oh my god, Fu Wan felt her heart was struck instantly, and very politely ate the shrimp.
"Thank you, Yunyun! You're amazing!"
Fu Ling immediately became a little unhappy when she saw Fu Wan praising Fu Yun. She picked up a shrimp from the plate, then clumsily peeled it and handed it to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated, but finished eating with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Lingling."
Is this the joy of having a daughter?
Fu Wan ate a few shrimp and a fish and felt that was enough. Fu Laoda, Ye Xiaocui, and the others also ate some fish and shrimp. There was no shortage of fish and shrimp on the boat, so everyone on both boats was well-fed.
"It's so nice to eat hot food at sea!"
Fu Ming touched his slightly bloated stomach and couldn't help but sigh.
"If only I could take a nap right now!"
Unlike Fu Ming, Ye Lin didn't feel sleepy at all; on the contrary, he was eager to try.
What happened? He saw the fishing rod that Fu Wan had taken out on the boat next door.
The fishing rods on both boats were made by Fu Laoda and the villagers, including Grandpa Fu, who had been fishing all his life.
The one in Fu Wan's hand looks perfectly usable; it's the one Grandpa Fu is most satisfied with making this year.
"Ah Wan, you stay here fishing, I'm going to take a nap."
Boss Fu got up at four or five o'clock this morning. After sailing for so long, he feels a bit sleepy now that he's full.
"Alright, Dad, just wait and see me catch that big fish!"
Fu Wan was full of confidence, and Fu Laoda was amused by her, "Good, good, I believe my daughter will definitely catch fish every time, just like me!"
Ye Xiaocui glanced at him sideways, then lowered her head to help Fu Wan prepare the bait.
As usual, the bait consisted of small fish and shrimp. Fu Wan even took out two small octopuses from the previous catch, cut them into small pieces, and mixed them with the small fish pieces.
"Ah Wan, do you still have any fishing rods? Can I have one?"
A man's pursuit of fishing can last a lifetime. Ye Lin, as a seasoned angler, has visited all the ponds near Qingshan Village, but this mountain boy has never fished at sea before!
The fishing rods for Fu Wan were all prepared by Boss Fu. He prepared several, so there was absolutely no problem giving them to Gen Yelin.
Fu Ming was really sleepy, so he simply chained the two ships together and then went into the cabin to catch up on sleep.
No wonder he and Boss Fu are a real father and son; they both get sleepy after eating.
Ye Lin got the fishing rod and happily learned how to make bait from Fu Wan. Fu Liang, who was standing next to him, was also very envious and then looked at Fu Wan longingly.
"Ah Wan, I want to too..."
"Take it, take it!"
It's just a fishing rod; having more people means more effort.
So the situation immediately became that Fu Wan, Fu Liang, and Ye Lin were fishing by the side of the boat, while Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan continued to process the fish that they hadn't had time to sort. Fu Ling and Fu Yun saw that Fu Wan was staring intently at the buoy on the sea, so they sensibly didn't disturb her and sat on the deck playing with seashells.
Fishing is a test of patience. Ye Lin was apprehensive after casting his line. If he didn't catch anything on his first try, it would ruin his reputation as the fishing king of Qingshan Village.
Fu Liang was much more nonchalant. His luck was just average anyway; if he caught something, great, if not, so be it. However, before casting his line, he silently prayed to the goddess Mazu for protection several times before beginning his half-hearted fishing journey.
Fu Wan watched the two men on the opposite boat behave in completely different ways, and cast her fishing rod with amusement.
Hey, I'm going to catch a big fish today, no matter what. If I don't, I'll go back into the sea and catch one. A fisherman never comes home empty-handed!
Just as he was thinking this, Ye Lin on the other side felt his fishing rod suddenly sink. He reacted quickly and lifted the rod, pulling the fishing line straight and bending the rod over.
If this fishing rod hadn't been made from bamboo carefully selected by Boss Fu, it probably would have broken by now.
The fish below didn't have much strength. Apart from its initial fierce struggle, Ye Lin only fought with it for a few minutes before pulling it out of the water.
"Holy crap, what kind of fish is this?!"
Now that Fu Ming wasn't around, it was Fu Wan herself who started swearing.
Fu Liang was also stunned. Ye Lian's mood instantly soared when he saw their expressions. He happily asked as he reeled in the fish on his fishing rod.
"What's wrong? Is this fish very valuable?"
Fu Wan looked at him with sympathy, "Big cousin, look at that fish on your rod, doesn't it look like the shark I told you about...?"
"What shark? Holy crap!"
Before Ye Lin could react, the fish on his fishing rod was already in front of him. Although not large, it weighed about five or six pounds. What made Ye Lin unable to hold back his curses was that the fish had a set of sharp, white teeth, and its piercing eyes seemed to say:
"Human, do I look like a fish you can eat?!"
This is a real ancestor! Ye Lin had heard Fu Ming and the others gossip about how Xue Qing and his group caught a great white shark and were retaliated against by it. Now that he had caught this shark, which was obviously a cub, wouldn't Ye Lin, a newbie at sea, break out in a cold sweat?
I'm drenched in sweat!
"Big brother, this shark is probably hungry. Feed it some fish and then send it away. It won't hold a grudge against you."
Although Fu Wan was enjoying the spectacle, she couldn't bear to see Ye Lin looking so apprehensive, so she thought for a moment and offered some advice.
Ye Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully removed the small shark from the hook, and then took out several sardines from the sardine basket next to him to feed it.
Damn, the last time I was this nervous was when I accidentally stumbled upon a nest of eggs from a mountain peak in the mountains.
"Once you've eaten your fill, go now, my dear! Don't bite the hook randomly!"
The baby shark, its mouth stuffed full of sardines, looked wise.
You're pretty good, two-legged creature!
Seeing the baby shark finish eating Ye Lin and Fu Ming, they quickly put it into the sea from the stern of the boat. The first cast was so exciting that they didn't dare to imagine what the next cast would be like.
Just then, Fu Wan, who was watching the excitement, felt her fishing rod sink, and then realized that the float on the sea had disappeared.
Damn it, they were so focused on the spectacle that they forgot about their own side!
