Ye Lin has now transitioned from a hunter to a seasoned fisherman. Of course, he also wanted to show off in front of Jack, this foreigner, so even before the boat got close to the bamboo tube, he was already eager to try his hand at fishing with a hook.
However, Fu Ming, who was steering the boat, did not let his older brother down. The boat quickly approached the bamboo tube trap, and Ye Lin successfully pulled up the buoy in the sea.
Fu Wan and the others were naturally used to bamboo tubes, and the squid inside was exactly what they expected.
But Jack, he's never seen a foreigner like this before!
When Boss Fu and his men were releasing the bamboo tubes, Jack wondered to himself, "How can these Chinese people just throw trash into the sea?"
Now, seeing Ye Lin hauling all this "garbage" back onto the ship, he was somewhat puzzled.
When Fu Wan used a specially made wire hook to pull the still-wriggling octopus out of the bamboo tube, Jack was so shocked that his mouth could hardly close.
Amazing, magical Eastern magic!
However, after a day of shock, Jack's ability to accept things has improved remarkably quickly. In just a few minutes, he became interested.
"Wan, let me try."
After saying that, he felt that he was not sincere enough, so he put his hands together and bowed to Fu Wan.
"Please, please!"
( ′▽｀)
With his nonsensical language and chaotic actions, Fu Wan couldn't bring herself to hand over the iron hook she was holding.
However, she didn't sit idle. After all, for this kind of hook, you can just take a wire and bend the bottom into a hook.
Moreover, there are several spare iron hooks on the ship.
Since she was a good person, Fu Wan went all the way and after finding the new iron hook, she demonstrated to Jack how to use it for quite a while.
It somehow rekindled the confidence of a flustered foreign friend.
He even grinned with the same fisherman's smile as Ye Lin and the others, happily scooping squid out of the bamboo tube.
However, he was still a little unsettled, and when he took one out, it started squeaking, which made Fu Ling's two children cry out as well.
Fu Wan couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply shoved the hook into Ye Lin's hands and turned to go with Boss Fu and the others to collect the crab traps.
The bamboo tube trap yielded quite a harvest this time. Fu Wanye, along with a temporary employee named Jack, opened half of the bamboo tube and harvested two large buckets of squid.
Fu Wan estimated that these hundreds of bamboo tubes should yield two to three hundred catties of squid.
"Dad, how was the crab harvest?"
Fu Wan walked over to Fu Laoda's side and peered into the crab trap that was about to be pulled out of the water.
Although the crab traps and bamboo tube traps were placed in the same sea area, they were still some distance apart. So, Boss Fu and his team had to retrieve all the bamboo tubes before they could hook the floats of the crab traps.
"I have cargo, and the weight I'm pulling is already quite heavy!"
Fu Laoda's face, tanned from the sun, was all smiles. Fishermen are happiest when they have a good harvest.
"I saw it all, there's quite a lot of goods!"
Being a young man, Fu Liang immediately spoke up in a hurry.
As they spoke, the two men pulled up quite a bit of the rope in their hands, and the crab trap gradually floated to the surface.
"Wow, that's quite a lot!"
From afar, Fu Wan spotted the crabs frantically crawling around in Fu Laoda's crab cage.
One glance revealed at least ten of her talismans written upside down.
Looking at Fu Liang's side, wow, there are at least five or six of them.
Moreover, they all looked quite large, but they were all swimming crabs and blue crabs; I didn't see any Dungeness crabs.
Come to think of it, Dungeness crabs are such rare finds that it was pure luck to encounter one last time.
"Ah Wan, want to give it a try?"
Fu Liang was busy emptying the crabs out of the crab cage when he saw Fu Wan standing to the side watching the fun, so he subconsciously gave up his seat.
Fu Wan hadn't originally intended to take action; after all, someone was dumping the bamboo tubes and someone was pulling the crab traps, so she was happy to just sit back and watch the show.
But seeing the expectation in Fu Liang's eyes, Fu Wan couldn't resist and could only nod and walk over.
Ah, Brother Liang always had a mysterious confidence in her luck.
But luck is such a mysterious thing that even Fu Wan couldn't quite grasp it.
Seeing his daughter coming over, Boss Fu stopped pulling her onto the deck and shoved her into Fu Wan's hands.
"Ah Wan, shall I let you try it?"
Fu Wan: ? ? ? ?
Excuse me, this crab trap is less than two meters from the deck, and she can count the number of crabs inside. What's the point of handing it to her now?
She said, "You can't eat too much sea cucumber, or you'll cause health problems sooner or later!"
Perhaps realizing belatedly that his move was somewhat foolish, Boss Fu then chuckled awkwardly twice. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly reattached the rope holding the crab trap.
"Hehe, well, Wan, I was just thinking about it, you should hurry up and collect the others!"
After saying that, he acted as if nothing had happened and pulled up the crab trap in one swift motion.
Of course, it would have been even more perfect if I hadn't slipped and almost fallen flat on my face.
This startled Fu Liang, leaving him completely stunned.
As Fu Wan pulled the crab trap closer to herself, she grumbled inwardly.
When she gets back this time, she must secretly tell her mother that ever since Ye Xiaocui stopped Fu Laoda from eating sea cucumbers, he has been secretly taking sea cucumbers to Fu San's house for processing!
She had thought that taking supplements occasionally was fine, but now it seemed that if she didn't stop him, her father would develop Alzheimer's disease from them!
Because she was still grumbling to herself, Fu Wan didn't notice the crab traps getting closer and closer to the boat until Fu Liang exclaimed "Holy crap!" which startled her and made her focus on the crab traps in front of her.
"Holy crap, so many crabs! Wait, why are these crabs red?!"
When Fu Wan pulled up the heavy crab trap, Fu Liang was genuinely surprised for two seconds. Then, after seeing the crabs inside, his eyebrows furrowed.
They've seen red crabs before, haven't they? Red-armored crabs are red, and red-edged crabs are red too!
But these crabs in front of him were not only red, but also had many spots. Remembering the poisonous crabs from before, Fu Liang panicked.
"Ah Wan, is this crab edible? It's not some kind of cooked crab, is it?"
Fu Wan carefully examined the crabs in the crab trap, then shook her head.
"Not cooked like a crab."
"It's a red flower crab! You little brat, you've wasted all the lessons I taught you, haven't you!"
Boss Fu slapped Fu Liang on the back, and Fu Liang then remembered and touched his head embarrassedly.
"Uncle, it's just that I haven't seen this thing in a long time, I've forgotten about it!"
Fu Laoda had no energy to pay attention to him. He had already taken the crab cage from Fu Wan's hand, grinning as he poured the crabs inside into the fish basket.
"Wow, I haven't seen such plump red flower crabs in over a decade!"
