Fu Wan's bold words brought a smile to Feng Ji's face.
"Alright, then we'll wait for your reward!"
He had been casting his fishing rod for a while without any movement at first, but as soon as he finished speaking, the fishing rod was suddenly pulled forward. If it weren't for Boss Fu's quick reflexes, the fishing rod would probably have flown away.
"There's a fish!"
Feng Ji had never seen anything like this before, and immediately gripped his fishing rod, eager to give it a try.
"Let me try it myself."
Seeing that they got along well, Fu Wan leaped up, her movements as smooth as water.
Seeing this, Fu Ming and Fu Liang couldn't wait to go down from the other side of the deck.
This area is all shallow water, so Fu Wan doesn't need to worry about their safety. She acclimatized to the water temperature for about a minute on the surface before plunging into the water.
When you are completely immersed in seawater, it feels like you suddenly have no connection with the outside world.
Fu Wan felt like she was part of the sea at that moment. The seawater didn't make her feel oppressed; instead, it felt as warm as a family member's embrace.
She swam and enjoyed the view for about a minute before opening her eyes. But when she could see the school of fish not far away, she suddenly swam back to the surface.
"Father, Father!"
Hearing his daughter's urgent shouts, Boss Fu thought something had happened and rushed to the stern of the boat.
"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Fu Wan wiped the water droplets from her face and pointed to the sea not far away, saying, "Quick, cast the net over there!"
Good heavens, she had just opened her eyes when she saw a dense school of fish not far away.
If she wasn't mistaken, it was indeed a large school of mackerel!
"What? Casting a net? There are schools of fish!"
If there was anything else that Fu Laoda didn't understand, he hurriedly retrieved the hand-thrown net from the deck.
Fu Wan watched as the hand-thrown net was cast in the direction she had pointed, and only then did she feel relieved.
"Wan, there really are fish!"
Not long after the hand-thrown net was thrown down, the rope in Boss Fu's hand snapped straight.
He immediately beamed with pride.
This hand-throwing net is useful, isn't it? It's come in handy here.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan didn't sit still either, and ran to prepare the fish basket and small stool.
They looked like they were just waiting for the fishing net to be pulled up so they could pick out the fish at any time.
It's early winter now, and the wind at sea can sometimes feel like a knife. Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui both find it hard to stand the wind, as it can cause them headaches at night if they're exposed to it for too long.
So when they went out to sea, they both wore thick floral headscarves to prevent their migraines from being exposed to too much wind.
Jiang Wanghai was still marveling at the beautiful seawater in this area when he saw Boss Fu throwing a net. He found it novel and immediately picked up a net from the ground, turned around, and threw it out.
"Oh ho, Brother Jiang, you've fished with nets before?"
Boss Fu has a sharp eye; he immediately realized that this wasn't the first time Jiang Wanghai had used a hand-thrown net.
Jiang Wanghai chuckled, but his hands never stopped moving.
"I was a sent-down youth before, and I spent a few years working in the countryside."
"However, I have never used a hand-thrown net at sea, only in rivers."
During his time as an educated youth sent to the countryside, he had to work in the fields every day to earn work points. But back then, Jiang Wanghai not only had to feed himself, but also secretly save money and grain to send to his family.
Fortunately, there were many good people in the rural area where he went, and there he learned how to catch fish with a fishing net.
Although the things in the river belonged to the collective at that time, the village chief would give him two smaller fish because of his hard work.
When meat coupons were unavailable, he ate the fish heads, which had little meat, and dried the fish bodies to send to his family. The fish heads became the most delicious meat in Jiang Wanghai's memory.
Looking back on the past, it all seems like a dream.
Jiang Wanghai didn't want to mention this to Boss Fu and the others, so he just tightened his grip on the rope, trying to pull the heavy hand-thrown net onto the deck.
Seeing that everyone on deck was busy, Fu Wan finished delivering the message and plunged back into the water.
She's wearing a diving cap, so her hair won't get wet now.
I swiped this from Xue Qing yesterday.
The seabed in shallow waters is actually just like the deep sea, with many coral reefs.
Because of the noise they made as they set sail and cast their nets, the fish in the sea were swimming around wildly.
Many mackerel even crashed straight into Fu Wan.
Fu Wan had absolutely no interest in them. The mackerel were all palm-sized, and the ones that Boss Fu and his team caught were enough for them to eat.
Her goal for today has to be grouper, no matter what.
Before venturing into the jungle, you definitely need to check out the surrounding environment first. Fu Wan swam around the seabed and suddenly discovered a peculiar sight.
Not far away, there are several large circular water rings slowly rising from the seabed.
Fu Wan looked down in the direction the water ripples had come from and, sure enough, saw a large sea turtle tilting its head back and occasionally blowing out water ripples.
To be honest, Fu Wan felt a surge of joy when she saw the sea turtle. After Fu Gui helped her find the baby killer whale, he didn't come back, and she hadn't had a chance to properly thank him by opening a few sea urchins.
But Fu Wan recognized the pattern on Fugui's back at a glance. This sea turtle was just an ordinary sea turtle, not belonging to the hawksbill turtle family. Its gaze towards Fu Wan was also completely unfamiliar.
Not wanting to disturb the turtle, Fu Wan didn't go over. Although the turtle wasn't spitting out large spittles, she still wanted to share it with everyone, haha, it was so cute! The environment in this area was truly wonderful. Fu Wan swam a few meters towards the coral reefs and saw two smaller turtles chasing and biting a jellyfish, with many different kinds of sea fish nearby.
Fu Wan searched around the crevices beside the coral reef, and within two minutes, she spotted the familiar antenna.
There are lobsters!
While cooking lunch today, Fu Ming kept saying it was a pity there were no lobsters at home. But perseverance pays off, and she finally found some lobsters.
Fu Wan swam to the coral reef, untied the net around her waist with one hand, and used the other hand to follow the lobster's antennae, quickly reaching into its hole.
Fortunately, the lobster hole wasn't too small. After Fu Wan touched the lobster's body, she grabbed it tightly. Then, when she reached back out, a lobster that was squeaking and struggling appeared in her hand.
Judging by its appearance, it must weigh at least two pounds; it's a large green dragon!
Fu Wan was very satisfied. It had been a long time since she had gone to sea to hunt wild monsters, and today she got such a big Azure Dragon on her first try. This was a good omen!
After putting the lobster into the net and tightening the opening, Fu Wan circled around the holes under the coral reefs again.
There were plenty of lobsters, but unfortunately, the big one she had just caught was gone.
Fu Wan thought for a moment and realized she had only caught a few small kalami weighing about a pound each. She decided to let go of the smaller ones that weighed less than half a pound.
These few lobsters, each weighing about a pound, plus the larger one, already filled the net to the brim.
Fu Wan put the net aside, then took out the bamboo fork on her back, preparing to catch two more fish to take back for dinner.
