Unfortunately, the blue demon fish in Fu Wan's hands was beyond dead, so she could only tearfully clean it up and plan to steam it for everyone as a late-night snack.
If this thing were still alive, selling it to Sun Youjin to keep at the Jinlai Restaurant would probably fetch several tens of yuan.
Hearing Fu Wan say this, Ye Lin felt that he had learned something new.
He has been working on the ship for almost a year, but he still doesn't recognize many of the sea fish.
There's just too much variety of fish in the sea!
After searching for more than half an hour, Fu Wan only found this one blue demon fish. She threw the fish into a basket to the side, and then picked out a few mantis shrimp that had died from trawling.
These mantis shrimps don't look very appealing, so I'll just eat them myself.
"I'm going to cook some late-night snacks. What do you guys want to eat? How about instant noodles?"
Upon hearing that there was instant noodles, Fu Qing's eyes lit up instantly.
"Ah Wan, I'm eating instant noodles! Instant noodles are delicious!"
She could only afford to eat instant noodles when she went out to sea with Fu Wan; otherwise, Wang Xiuer would never buy them.
According to Wang Xiuer, such a small package costs almost a dollar, which is more expensive than meat!
"And what about you? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
This question was directed at Fu Haishun and his group, who were on board for the first time, and Fu Wan was unsure of their tastes.
“We…we’re not picky, Awan. We don’t need instant noodles, just a warm steamed bun will do.”
Fu Haishun has always been honest. He had heard people talk about instant noodles when he worked at the dock. They were very expensive. With so many good things on their ship, a meal must cost more than ten yuan.
No way, having such a high-paying job is already great, how can I eat such expensive food from my employer?
After Fu Haishun finished speaking, the older Fu Daniu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we can just eat cornbread."
The younger Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui could only swallow hard and agree.
Sigh, instant noodles, they actually want to eat them too.
"Okay, I'll heat up the steamed buns too. Everyone can eat whatever they want."
Fu Wan waved her hand. Since Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan had prepared a lot of cornbread, she would steam a few as well. Those who wanted instant noodles could eat noodles, and those who wanted cornbread could eat cornbread. Everyone had their own choice.
Seeing Fu Wan pick up the fish basket and head towards the kitchen, Fang Min called out to her.
"Ah Wan, do you need me to come over and help?"
Fu Wan waved her hand in refusal, "No need, I'll just cook some noodles, you guys continue picking out the fish!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Min squatted down again and continued working. By this time, the trawl net had already been washed clean and pushed back down. The larger fish on the deck had also been picked out, leaving only some small flounder and small snapper.
Lianjian is actually a species of sea bream, and in the Fujia Village area, it is also called Lihuang.
This fish is scientifically known as the redfin gillfish, belonging to the family Gillfishidae. They vary in size, from as small as the palm of your hand to as large as half a meter or even over a meter in length, and their weight ranges from less than half a pound to forty or fifty pounds.
The distinctive features of the fins are very obvious. Both the upper and lower fins have reddish edges. The body is oval and laterally compressed. The teeth are sharp and fine. It feeds on small fish, shrimp and mollusks on the seabed.

The peak season for harvest plums is between July and October. This net brought up not many harvest plums, and less than two baskets were sorted out. Because there are few harvest plums at this time, the price is still quite good.
Even if it's not as expensive as red sea bream, it can still cost more than 60 cents per kilogram.
Moreover, the fish caught in the net are of very uniform size, with most weighing around two pounds, making them perfect for steaming.
As for the flounder, Ye Lin put it in a basket, planning to ask Boss Fu later if he wanted to take it back and dry it.
While everyone was busy on the deck, Fu Wan was also busy in the kitchen.
Cooking instant noodles is actually quite simple, but Fu Wan plans to make a deluxe version.
While the water was boiling, she washed the mantis shrimp she had brought and cut them in half. Once the noodles were cooked, she cooked the mantis shrimp and placed them on top of the noodles.
Not only that, she also boiled a large bowl of baby octopuses.
These octopuses didn't have their ink sacs removed; people by the sea prefer the burst of juice in one bite.
As for the blue demon fish, Fu Wan steamed it while it was still fresh, and while steaming the fish, she also placed more than ten steamed buns on the side.
Steaming fish doesn't take long, and the instant noodles have a very strong aroma. Before long, Fu Haishun and the others smelled the delicious fragrance wafting from the kitchen.
Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui kept swallowing their saliva. My god, is this the legendary instant noodles? It smells so good!
No wonder Fu Xiaochuan showed off to them last time!
"Everyone, hurry up and rinse the fish; it should be time to eat soon."
Ye Lin called out, and Fu Haishun and the others readily agreed.
Ye Lin had Fu Haishun and Fu Daniu wash the deck, while he and the rest of the people moved the fish into the cold storage.
Fu Qing and Fang Min were originally going to help move the fish baskets, but Ye Lin stopped them and told them to quickly put the remaining live fish into the live water tank.
Before they could finish their work, Fu Wan's voice came through.
"Everyone, come and eat your noodles, they're ready!"
After saying that, she filled another bowl and headed to the main cabin. At that moment, Dong Haiyang was steering the ship. When he saw Fu Wan bringing in the noodles, Dong Haiyang was flattered and stood up immediately.
"Boss, you could have just called out, why did you have to bring it to me personally?"
Fu Wan placed the noodles on a stool to the side, smiled and said, "Aren't you busy, Uncle Dong? You eat first, and my dad will come down after you're done."
"Okay, sure."
Looking at the bowl of instant noodles that looked and smelled delicious, Dong Haiyang felt extremely grateful to Xu Jiafu.
My brother really found me a great job!
As Fu Wan passed by the stairs, Boss Fu was rubbing his eyes and yawning as he came down.
"Dad, you're awake now, come down and have some noodles."
"Hey, here it comes!"
Fu Laoda was also woken up by the aroma. He hadn't closed the door to his rest cabin while he was sleeping, and he had actually been woken up once when the ship's bell rang.
Thinking it was almost time to change shifts, he decided not to sleep and instead got up, ate, and let Dong Haiyang rest.
The seafood instant noodles gave everyone on the ship a little shock, and Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui and the others ate them without even looking up.
Before this, they had no idea that there were such fragrant noodles in the world. Not only were the noodles delicious, but the soup was also exceptional.
Actually, this is also because Fu Wan added some seafood to it. The sweet and fresh taste of mantis shrimp blends into the noodle soup, and together with the original flavor of instant noodles, it is a perfect blend.
Fu Wan also ate a full bowl. To be honest, she hadn't had instant noodles in a long time, and her cooking skills were quite good.
The blanched octopus was also very chewy and delicious. Boss Fu really liked the feeling of the ink bursting in his mouth. Fang Min and Ye Lin didn't like this way of eating before, but now they have gradually come to love it.
Not only did they finish the noodles, but Fu Jinshui and Fu Mancang also ate the noodle soup.
A sip of noodle soup followed by a bite of cornbread—that's pure bliss!
The result of eating like this was that everyone was stuffed. Just as everyone was holding their stomachs and still feeling unsatisfied, several loud cracking sounds suddenly came from the deck outside.
