"Hey, I caught a fish!"
Fu Ming excitedly raised the fishing rod in his hand, which immediately bent into a crescent moon shape. Boss Fu and Ye Lin also frequently looked in his direction.
"Move to the left and let out more lines."
At this moment, Boss Fu had transformed into Ye Xiaocui, muttering to himself and feeling extremely anxious.
If he hadn't just cast his fishing rod out, he would definitely have run over to demonstrate to Fu Ming how to professionally play a fish.
Fortunately, the fish in the water wasn't very strong, and after a few minutes of playing with it, Fu Ming managed to pull it out of the water.
Fu Laoda wanted to see what kind of fish it was, but the fishing rod in his hand immediately started to shake.
"Hey, I got a fish too!"
After saying that, he also began to fish with the fish in the sea, and now only Ye Lin was left envious.
After all, apart from the toad he caught earlier, he hadn't caught a second fish yet.
I don't know if it's a problem with the waters there, but no fish have taken the bait.
So he could only watch enviously as Fu Ming happily took a brightly colored fish off the hook, a fish he had never seen before.
It's funny, he's been going out to sea with his aunt's family for over a month now, but every time they go out to sea, there are still quite a few sea fish that he's never seen before.
This shows how diverse the marine life is.
"Amin, what kind of fish is this?"
Ye Lin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, but Fu Ming, who was taking the fish off the hook, replied without looking up:
"This is a Napoleon wrasse!"
Su Mei?
Ye Lin looked puzzled, but Fu Ming was delighted and began to describe the preciousness of the grouper.
One of the four famous fish of the port city, it is not only beautiful and delicious, but most importantly, it is also valuable.
For Fu Ming, this is the medal of his success today.
It's a pity that Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui weren't on the deck right now, otherwise he would have definitely been showing off a lot and even gotten Fu Wan to take a couple of pictures of him.
"What Su Mei? This is Cai Mei!"
Boss Fu took the sea bass off his fishing hook and corrected Fu Ming's words.
"Cai Mei? Isn't that Su Mei?"
Fu Ming immediately fell into self-doubt, grabbing the fish and looking it over from all sides.
Fu Laoda was speechless. It was understandable that Ye Lin didn't recognize the sea fish, but how could his stupid son not be able to tell the difference between Cai Mei and Su Mei?
“Take a close look at the fish’s body shape and tail. How does it resemble a Napoleon wrasse?”
Fu Ming took a look and it was true; the fish's tail was just like a leaf, which was indeed different from the previous Napoleon wrasse.
"Dad, is this fish valuable?"
He's already decided that if the fish isn't worth much, he'll take it home and eat it himself.
He caught it himself, after all.
"It's valuable, of course it's valuable!"
Boss Fu hurriedly put the fish in Fu Ming's hand into the fish box. This kid is just messing around with the fish. If the fish dies, it will be worthless.
Looking at the colorful-browed fish swimming around in the fish tank, Boss Fu was also happy, "You've got some skills, kid. If these fish weigh about two pounds, you might be able to sell them for several tens of yuan."
"Dad, is it true? This fish can sell for tens of dollars?"
Fu Ming was overjoyed, having received praise from Boss Fu again, and instantly felt elated.
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu rolled his eyes. "You're making it sound like I'm lying to you. Rainbow-browed fish are rare. I don't know what kind of luck you had to catch one."
"Go back and ask your third uncle. I promise I won't lie to you."
Seeing Fu Laoda's confident assurances, Fu Ming was overjoyed and couldn't wait to find Fu San and get to the bottom of things.
Rainbow-headed fish are valuable!
Ye Lin immediately made a mental note of it.
Seeing that Ye Lin was still examining the rainbow bream, Boss Fu took the opportunity while stringing up the bait to give him a lecture.
The three-leaf lipped fish, also known as the coral reef fish, is a typical coral reef fish. Generally, male three-leaf lipped fish have three soft stripes on their tail fin, resembling a leaf.
This is also the origin of the name "Three-Leaf Lizard Fish". The Rainbow-browed Fish (pictured) are generally not very large; the one Fu Ming caught weighed about two jin (approximately 1 kg) and was forty centimeters long, making it relatively large.
The reason this fish is so expensive, besides being difficult to catch, is also because it tastes incredibly delicious.
The flesh of the rainbow bream is very delicate and rich in collagen. Although both are reef fish, its taste is far superior to that of the parrotfish.
Because this fish is popular with many diners, restaurants are scrambling to get it. This scarcity has driven up the price of the rainbow bream in the market, even surpassing the price of the red grouper at one point.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's gaze towards the colorful-browed fish in the fish tank changed completely.
I didn't know this fish was so amazing. I wish I could catch one myself.
Thinking this, he turned around, picked up his fishing rod, and went to another spot. Failure is the mother of success, and he refused to believe that he could catch another toad!
In fact, what Boss Fu didn't know was that the reason why the rainbow bream is so delicious is because its flesh contains a lot of monosodium glutamate.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), as the main component of MSG, is naturally incredibly delicious. If a fish were entirely composed of this substance, one can only imagine how incredibly sweet and delicious the meat would be.
With Fu Ming's colorful eyebrow fish, the three of them were once again filled with renewed enthusiasm for fishing.
When Fu Wan woke up after taking a nap, the fish box was already more than half full of live fish, all of which were swimming around inside.
"Sea bass, grouper, red snapper... and even a mouse grouper! Dad, you guys are amazing!"
The boxes are overflowing today!
Ye Xiaocui walked out from behind her and smiled when she saw the full fish box.
"Wow, so many live ones, not bad at all. I'll go get a fish tank and separate them out, so they don't all suffocate if they're all put together."
Sea fish also need oxygen. If you put so many sea fish in one fish tank, one of them is bound to be too fragile to withstand the stress.
Seeing this, Jiang Chunlan hurriedly went to help. The more valuable fish, such as the East Star Grouper, Mouse Grouper, and Rainbow Grouper, were placed in one box, while the cheaper ones were left untouched in the other box.
"Mom, Awan, Auntie, I caught this rainbow bream!"
Fu Ming reeled in his line, eager to claim credit, while Ye Lin, standing nearby, wasn't about to be outdone, saying, "That grouper was caught by me."
"I caught that grouper myself!"
Boss Fu was not to be outdone.
Ye Xiaocui didn't know what to say except laugh, and Fu Wan also gave a thumbs up and praised them one by one.
"What time is it now? Shouldn't we be setting up the internet?"
Fu Wan glanced at her watch; it was almost two o'clock.
"Dad, let's catch this net and go to Yanwo Island to see the coconut crabs."
At 3 PM, coconut crabs are at their most active.
Boss Fu readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go set up the net right now!"
Several men operated the net-hauling machine, while Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui dragged fish baskets to sort the fish.
As Ye Lin untied the rope of the net, the crowd gasped in surprise once again.
"Wow, why are there so many squid and shrimp?"
