"I'm going downstairs to check how the net's catch is. Do you want to come?"
After saying that, she reached out her hand to Xiao Huang.
"Chirp chirp!"
Little Huang barked twice more, then hopped onto Fu Wan's arm with its little paws.
Fu Wan parted its feathers to look at the wound. Fortunately, the wound had stopped bleeding and started to scab over, but it still looked heartbreaking.
Fu Wan placed it on her shoulder. The little yellow cat flapped its wings twice to steady itself, and then nuzzled Fu Wan's cheek with its head.
Two-legged creatures smell good, let's stick them together!
Fu Wan felt a little itchy from its rubbing, and after reaching out to help it sit up, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Little Huang used to be aloof and cool, but after being injured this time, he's become clingy and even acts cute. It seems he's really scared of that vengeful bird!
The man and the bird descended the ladder and headed straight for the deck.
Before she even reached the deck from the passageway, Fu Wan heard a loud bang; the net bag must have been opened.
Immediately following was Ye Lin's hearty laughter.
"Haha, it's so red! I recognize this fish, it's called Red Fruit Carp, right?!"
"You have a good memory, kid. Do you recognize this fish?"
Fu Ming said this, and the next second, Ye Lin replied.
"Oh, I know it. It's a hatchet fish. We caught some last time, and Awan even let me take two back with me. My mom and my wife both love to eat them!"
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Fu Mancang's voice followed immediately.
"Brother Ye Lin, you have quite the appetite! The axehead fish is really delicious. Let's hurry up and sort through them. This net has yielded a great catch!"
Fu Mancang's voice was clearly filled with joy. Seeing this, Fu Wan walked over quickly. Before she got close, she saw the bright red color.
It wasn't just the red of the red koi carp; there were also pinkish-red axehead fish, and even several red sea bream weighing at least a pound each on the fish mountain.
Besides, there were also quite a few shrimp and crabs. The crabs were mostly swimming crabs, three-spot crabs, and blue crabs. As for the shrimp, there were mantis shrimp and prawns, and they were quite large. Fu Wan glanced at them briefly and even saw several black tiger shrimp that were as thick as two fingers.
They were absolutely right, the net yielded a great harvest!
Whether it's red carp, or wrasse and red sea bream, they are all high-end fish with good prices. The same goes for shrimp; black tiger shrimp has always been expensive, and its price has skyrocketed after the economic development of the south after the Lunar New Year.
Fang Min and Fu Qing came downstairs at this time. Fu Qing was sleeping soundly, and it took Fang Min a lot of effort to wake her up.
"Ah Wan, this net yielded such a good catch?"
Fang Min was also dumbfounded when she arrived. She didn't know much about seafood, but she did know about red snapper and hatchetfish.
"Yes, the fish were indeed much better at night than during the day, probably partly because of the rain."
Never mind, let's hurry up and pick them out!
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she put Xiao Huang aside and pulled over a fish basket and stool to start picking through the fish.
Fu Daniu, Fu Haishun, and Fu Jinshui had already washed the trawl net clean and pushed it back down. Dong Haiyang, who had taken over from Fu Daniu, also came over to the deck for a look around. Seeing that the harvest was good, he was relieved.
He thought for a moment and rolled up his sleeves, ready to pick through the items together, but Fu Wan quickly stopped him.
"Uncle Dong, this isn't your job. You've been sailing all night and you must be tired. Go and get some rest!"
Fu Ming chimed in, "That's right, Uncle Dong. You don't need to pick and choose here. We'll take care of it. You should go to sleep now, or my dad will scold us again!"
Although sailing a boat is simple, it is not as easy as it sounds. The person at the helm has to keep an eye on the sea at all times. At night, the sea is pitch black, and it is easy to get bored and sleepy after staring at it for a long time.
But as the person at the helm of the ship, the more sleepy you feel, the more you need to stay alert.
Dong Haiyang had been sailing for more than seven hours, and his fatigue was clearly visible. The dark circles under his eyes were so heavy that it looked like he had been punched twice. Fu Wan wasn't a ruthless person, so she wouldn't let him continue working.
Dong Haiyang also thought the fish looked good and wanted to pick through them. Everyone on the boat except Jack and his group was on deck.
As a member of the crew of the "Riding the Waves" ship, he felt embarrassed to just look at the seafood and leave.
But having worked for so many years, he was someone who always followed orders. So when Fu Ming and Fu Wan said that, he didn't hesitate at all, stood up and took off his gloves.
"Okay, I'll go rest first. Call me if anything comes up."
"Okay, go quickly. Thank you for your hard work. If we delay for another day, we'll probably head back tomorrow night."
Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, Dong Haiyang nodded, yawned and went back to the rest cabin.
"Ah Wan, Jack and the others haven't gotten up yet. Should we go and wake them up?"
Ye Lin asked hesitantly. He had only realized that the others hadn't come down when he noticed that Robert, who was always following him, wasn't there while he was picking out the fish.
Fu Wan shook her head. "Forget it. They're probably exhausted too. They're just here for fun. There are so many of us, we can pick and choose."
"That's true. I was worried that Robert would complain later that we didn't call him!"
Ye Lin smiled helplessly. Robert was much younger than Fu Wan and only five or six years older than Ye Zhenxing. Ever since he heard that Ye Lin had gone hunting in the mountains, he had been pestering Ye Lin to ask about things in the mountains. He was obviously very interested in hunting.
Even with three fewer people, the group's sorting speed didn't slow down much, because the axefish and red snapper in this net were really big. Fu Wan even found a large red snapper that weighed at least four pounds while sorting.
It's a pity it wasn't caught by fishing. Fish caught by trawlers are cheaper, but a red sea bream of this size won't be much cheaper.
Putting aside everything else, it's definitely worth five or six yuan per kilogram.
The red carp are quite large, with many weighing seven or eight ounces. Carp of this size command a high price, but this is the first time red carp have been caught this year, so Fu Wan really doesn't know how much they can sell for.
After two and a half hours, everyone finally finished sorting through the net of fish.
It was already past five o'clock, and the sky was beginning to lighten. The rising sun arrived as promised, hiding where the sea and sky met and secretly dyeing the seawater red.
Fu Wan roughly counted the catch from this net: thirty-two baskets of red carp, twenty-one baskets of axefish, and eighteen baskets of red snapper.
Thirty-six baskets of various kinds of crabs and ten baskets of black tiger prawns.
There were also quite a few mantis shrimps; the live ones had already been sent to the live water tank, so Fu Wan didn't notice how many there were.
In general, it should be around 10,000 yuan online.
Fu Wan was very satisfied with her haul and immediately picked up the seafood she had specially selected to prepare breakfast.
Actually, this should have been a rest time for everyone, but after picking and choosing for more than two hours, everyone was already hungry.
Even when you're resting, you can't rest on an empty stomach; you have to eat a full meal first.
"Brothers, what do you guys want to eat for breakfast?"
Fu Wan looked at Fu Ming and the others and asked, Fu Ming scratched his head, "Let's eat noodles or drink porridge. The sea breeze is chilly this morning, I just want something hot to warm my stomach!"
