Fu Ming was steering the boat, while Fu Liang waved to them from the stern. Judging by their excitement, they must have had quite a haul.
Sure enough, as soon as the boat came to a stop, Fu Ming rushed over, "Father, Mother, A-Wan, guess what kind of fish we caught?!"
Look at how excited they are! Old Man Fu and the others were too embarrassed to look at them.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang only saw the pile of coconuts when they got closer. Both of them felt thirsty, and Fu Ming immediately grabbed one and went to find a screwdriver.
When they opened the bag, they found coconut crabs tightly bound together.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
Fu Ming was so startled that he dropped the coconut he was holding, which hit his toe and made him jump around in pain.
Fu Laoda was extremely disgusted. He really didn't know what was wrong with this kid. He was almost twenty-five or twenty-six years old and still acted so easily.
However, Fu Ming and Fu Liang had never actually seen a coconut crab; they had only heard about them in stories told by the elders when they were children.
"This is a coconut crab, Uncle!"
Chen Lingling was drowsy, but Fu Ming's arrival instantly woke her up.
Seeing that Fu Ming didn't even recognize a coconut crab, Chen Lingling couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"My mom caught it!"
"Wan, you're amazing!"
Fu Liang gave a thumbs up, and Fu Ming, enduring the pain, stepped forward and grabbed the large coconut crab.
"My goodness, it's almost as heavy as a piglet."
That's right, a coconut crab weighing over ten pounds is no joke.
However, it was already late, so Boss Fu quickly told Fu Ming and Fu Liang to load the things onto the boat, as it was almost time to head back.
As for the fish traps under the seaweed, Boss Fu plans to come and collect them early tomorrow morning.
It's still very hot and humid right now, so I doubt anything will crawl into the trap.
After the group had loaded all their spoils from the island onto the boat, Fu Wan finally had time to check on the two men's catch.
"Hey guys, you've got quite a haul too!"
There were quite a few, more than a dozen sea bream of various colors, each weighing about two or three pounds.
There were several groupers, mostly tiger grouper and red grouper, but I didn't see any top-quality ones like rat grouper or red grouper.
In addition, there were dozens of sea bass, all weighing around three or four pounds, with the smaller ones weighing two or three pounds.
However, there was one thing that shocked Fu Wan as well.
"Is that a sea wolf?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaocui came over and exclaimed, "My goodness! You guys even caught a sea wolf?!"
The barracuda, also known as the barracuda, has a long cylindrical body, a pointed mouth, and a large chin.
The reason it's called a sea wolf is quite unique. Sea wolf fish have extremely sharp teeth, with very prominent canine-like teeth in their mouths. If you were bitten by one, it would be no different from being bitten by a wolf on land.
Sea wolf fish are nutritious and have delicious flesh, but because they are extremely ferocious, they are difficult to catch.
Seeing the surprised looks on Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui's faces, Fu Ming couldn't help but feel a little smug. "They don't even know who I am. What sea wolf fish? I can take it down easily!"
Fu Liang was an honest man, and he couldn't stand Fu Ming's smug and self-satisfied appearance.
"It was Ah Wan's octopus bait that caught it. A fish took the bait, and then this sea wolf bit the fish and swallowed the hook. It kept dragging it down. If Ah Ming and I hadn't taken turns playing it, it probably would have broken the line and escaped."
Ye Xiaocui's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Octopus bait can really catch fish?"
She thought Fu Wan's octopus was a complete waste.
Fu Ming got excited when this was mentioned, "That's right, these larger red snapper were caught using octopus bait."
Now it was Fu Wan's turn to be smug. She raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiaocui.
"Mother, now you believe me, right?"
What else could Ye Xiaocui say? "You're so smart! Tonight, when we get home, Mom will get you some sea urchin steamed with eggs!"
Steamed sea urchin with eggs is nothing special, but the exaggerated way it's presented makes a difference, even for adults.
After playing all afternoon, Chen Lingling couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep in the cabin.
Now that Fu Wan doesn't have to take care of the children, she's starting to consider going into business.
Fortunately, the sun is about to set, so the temperature isn't too high, and the fish in the sea are jumping out of the water to play with the seabirds.
Without further ado, Fu Wan went to the cabin to put on her mermaid clothes. Boss Fu switched places with Fu Liang and let him steer the boat while he watched from the stern.
This was the first time Fu Wan had gone fishing in front of her father.
The sea surface temperature was still quite high after a whole day of sunshine, but the temperature dropped significantly as you went deeper into the sea.
Fu Wan held the small harpoon that Fu Ming had made for her last time and carefully observed the fish around her.
I don't know if it was because it was evening, but as soon as she got into the sea, she saw several mantis shrimp.
The whole family loved the mantis shrimp we caught before; these shrimp are much tastier than the baby lobsters we ate before. The baby lobsters had firm meat, and it got a bit greasy after eating a lot, but these mantis shrimps aren't like that—they're fresh, tender, and delicious.
The mantis shrimp in front of her were quite large, each weighing about half a pound. Fu Wan picked up several in succession, too lazy to pick up the small mantis shrimp that were only the width of two fingers.
After swimming for a while, she didn't see any good fish on the seabed, so she caught a few parrotfish and prepared to surface.
There's nothing we can do about it; parrotfish are just so delicious!
Just as she was about to swim upstream, she discovered something new: two or three large triangular seashells on the seabed, which looked like the scallops she had been wanting to eat.
Scallops are fresh scallops, which come in two types: long scallops and round scallops. The meat of round scallops is dried and becomes what modern people often eat as dried scallops, or scallops.
Fu Wan's favorite dish is scallop soup. Of course, the fresh scallops can be boiled or steamed, and then served with garlic sauce.
Oh, the taste! You have to try it to know.
With the delicious food right in front of her, Fu Wan quickly swam over and picked it up. The ribbons were half exposed, while the other half was buried in the sand on the seabed.
The three straps were too big to hold in one hand, so Fu Wan had to float to the surface, throw them into the net, and then go back down.
Boss Fu stood on the boat and watched as Fu Wan came up again, threw the things into the net, and went back down.
This is another great discovery! Boss Fu felt like his heart was being scratched and his hands were itching to try it.
"Honey, why don't you cast the net?"
Ye Xiaocui could see the man's eagerness and quickly suggested that she find him something to do.
Boss Fu hadn't planned to cast his net today, since it was broad daylight and he probably wouldn't catch much fish.
If you cast your net but catch no fish, you'll have to go back and dry the net.
Hearing Ye Xiaocui say this, he completely forgot his own plans.
Let's cast the net!
Fu Laoda picked up a casting net and twisted his waist to throw it towards the area where there were many seabirds, while Fu Liang also took another net and threw it into the sea on the other side.
As soon as the net was thrown down, the rope in my hand snapped straight.
Fu Laoda didn't even have time to check on Fu Wan's condition; he quickly called out to Ye Xiaocui.
"Wife, come quick!"
Before the two of them could even pull it up, Fu Liang, ignoring the net on his side, rushed over to help.
It took the three of them a lot of effort to pull the net of fish up.
Boss Fu untied the fishing net. There were quite a few fish, and in the middle of the school was a large sea turtle with its small eyes wide open and a small fish stuffed in its mouth, staring at them speechlessly.
