"What does that bear look like? Is it as tall as the big bungalow in our village?"
Fu Ming was very curious, while Ye Lin smiled awkwardly, "I was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, and before I could even see what the bear looked like, my dad dragged me outside."
At that time, I was only focused on escaping for my life, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to look back. So I really can't describe what a bear looks like.
Fu Ming and the others were disappointed upon hearing this, and Fu the Elder was speechless at their disappointed looks.
"Hey, do you think bears are so cute? If you meet them, there's a good chance of bloodshed."
Ye Lin nodded in agreement, "That's right. My father led me all the way out of the deep mountains before we stopped. After that, it was a long time before we went back into the mountains."
About half a month later, my mother told me that a hunter from a village in the nearby mountains had encountered a bear. He wasn't discovered for several days, and guess what? Not only was he dead, but his limbs were also torn to pieces, and everything inside his stomach was gone!
"My dad said that the baby inside that belly was eaten by a bear!"
"Bears love to eat internal organs, and they even like to gut and eat people while they're still alive!"
Upon hearing Ye Lin's words, everyone on the ship felt a chill run down their spines.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight, with bright sunshine and a gentle sea breeze. If it were nighttime, I would definitely be too scared to sleep.
Fu Mancang was puzzled when he heard this. "That's not right. I've heard that bears eat honey?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "I know that. Bears are omnivores. They eat honey and other small animals as well."
Otherwise, even if they only ate honey, they wouldn't grow that big.
"That makes some sense."
Fu Jinshui nodded in agreement. Robert listened for a long time but didn't quite understand. After Jack explained it to him, Robert also understood.
There have also been bear attacks in Los Angeles; a brown bear once broke into the ranch of Robert's friend.
However, they had hunting rifles, and a single burst of fire scared the brown bear away.
The fish took nearly two hours to sort through. Crabs and other survivable seafood were covered with nets by Fu Haishun and his team and then put into the live water tank to be kept alive.
Other fish, such as pomfret, were all neatly stacked and moved into the cold storage.
Fu Wan went to the cold storage to take a look. These few nets of seafood were not particularly outstanding. Only the pomfret, fighting pomfret, and yellowtail were worth something. They should weigh about six or seven thousand catties in total, taking up a quarter of the space in the cold storage.
In fact, besides fish, there were also quite a few crabs, totaling about 5,000 jin (2,500 kg), which filled the live water tank and buckets.
We don't know if we'll run into a crab-collecting ship right now. It would be best if they took the crabs back so the "Riding the Waves" could continue trawling.
With that in mind, Fu Wan wanted to go to the wheelhouse to contact the Fully Loaded Returner by radio to ask if they had seen the fresh catcher. However, before she even reached the wheelhouse, she saw a familiar-looking ship on the sea heading towards the Wind and Waves.
Speak of the devil and he appears; the very ship that arrived was the fresh seafood collection boat!
"Brother, brother! Stop the boat! The seafood collection boat is here!"
"The cargo ship has arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming picked up his binoculars and looked out at the sea. "Wow, it really is a seafood harvesting ship. Impressive, they managed to find it!"
"Who says otherwise? They've come at the perfect time! Quickly, have them take all the crabs on the boat back!"
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she went to instruct Fu Haishun and the others. Fang Min, Fu Qing, and Jack finished sorting the fish and went to rest. At this moment, only Fu Haishun and the other three were on the deck fishing with Boss Fu, Dong Haiyang.
As the fishing boat drew closer, Fu Haishun and his three companions quickly put away their fishing rods and waited.
"Bang—"
As the deep whistle sounded, everyone's eyes turned to the cargo ship. The "Riding the Waves" had a deep draft and a higher chassis, so there was no need to go up to the second deck; one could get a general view of the cargo ship from the first deck.
And there they were, standing at the stern waving wildly at the "Riding the Waves," clearly Fu Huanghua and Lin Wei, who were in charge of all matters related to the cargo ship.
"Hey! Wan, Wan! Brother Gouwa, Brother Gouwa!"
As Fu Huanghua waved and shouted, Fu Laoda could hardly contain his smile. Damn it, if it weren't for the first elder in the village who called him Gouwa, he would have been a small mound of earth long ago. He would definitely have brought a few bottles of good wine to his door to beg the old man to change his name.
What a terrible name, "Dog Baby"! Look at the name he gave his daughter—so cultured and beautiful!
Fu Wan had no idea that her father was thinking about this. She waved to Fu Huanghua in response.
"Hey, I have to say, it's been a while since I've seen Uncle Huang, he seems to be getting younger and younger!"
"Life is getting better now. You're giving him a monthly salary of over forty yuan, plus a bonus every six months. Anyone would be happy and feel younger!"
After saying this, Boss Fu realized his words sounded sarcastic and immediately offered an explanation:
"But Da Huang is not very old to begin with. He's actually a few years younger than your third uncle. He used to have a hard life and he looked miserable. Now that life is better, he's more energetic and naturally looks younger."
I see. Fu Wan was still very happy about Fu Huanghua's change. She was proud that the job opportunities she provided could bring about a transformation for everyone.
As they spoke, the cargo ship gradually came to a stop, and once the sound of the diesel engine ceased, the voices of the people speaking became clear.
"Ah Wan, Uncle Gouwa, Mom, we've been looking for you everywhere!"
Fu Huanghua looked up and laughed, "Luckily, Sanzi is smart. Before we set off, he asked A-Liang about your course and then told us to come and try our luck. We were all ready to give up, but we actually ran into you!"
"Yes, my brother-in-law said there are plenty of crabs at this time of year, and if they're all piled up on the boat, they'll die and we won't get a good price for them, so he sent us here specifically to find you!"
Lin Wei added that Fu Wan couldn't help but admire him, saying that Fu San was indeed a seasoned veteran, having thought of this very thing.
I was too busy before setting off and forgot to make an appointment with the seafood collection boat.
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Lin, I was just thinking of using the radio to ask where the crab-collecting boat is. You're here just in time, let's get weighing the crabs!"
There was no need for many polite words; Fu Wan was also eager to get the crabs onto the receiving boat as soon as possible.
"Okay, you guys take the crabs out first, I'll go start the crane now!"
Fu Huanghua readily agreed, as the current cargo ships are much more advanced than those used after the New Year.
Two months ago, Fu San heard from the big boss of a seafood restaurant in the city that he could install cranes on the cargo collection boats to facilitate cargo transportation, so he immediately wanted to install one on his cargo collection boat.
Fu Wan knew about this, but she hadn't seen it yet because she was busy. When she saw the crane slowly extending in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.
