Chapter 568 The Poison Den



No one can leave the cockpit unattended. Old Fu gave a demonstration himself and then quickly returned to the cockpit, instructing Fu Yongning to keep an eye on things before leaving.

This is no joke.

If someone gets injured, it could very well lead to a return to base.

It took them five or six hours to get here, and they only managed to pull two nets before heading back. That's such a hassle.

not to mention.

The catch from both nets was quite good.

If this causes a delay in completing assignments, just thinking about it is enough to make anyone lose a lot of time.

The injured person not only suffers physical pain, but must also feel even worse emotionally.

Fortunately, Wu An had bought a lot of tongs beforehand so that it would be convenient to have barbecues on the boat, and since there weren't many people on the boat, everyone could have a tong.

Wu An didn't skimp on luck points; he added as many as he could.

Even everyone's rain boots were given this bonus, which adds 2 points to luck. Wu An didn't know what use it would be.

Increase friction?

Can it still solve the problem of smelly feet?

Just adding luck points to each person would consume about 10 points, and everyone would have a total of about 60 or 70 luck points. Anyway, there were plenty of luck points, so Wu An didn't care.

Even so, he still gave everyone several reminders to be careful.

on board.

The word they talked about most was "safety"!

Everyone else was pretty steady, except for Aqing, who was so clumsy and awkward that it hurt his eyes to watch him.

Perhaps it's because concern leads to confusion.

To be honest...

His relationship with Aqing was sometimes even closer than that with his older brother Wu Ping.

He raised this little guy like a son.

Suddenly, Aqing cried out "Ah!" and cried out in pain, "Brother, brother, brother..."

Wu An dropped the clip and ran over, shouting, "What happened? Did you get pricked? I told you to be careful, I told you to be careful, why did you..."

Just as he was scolding him, Aqing suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother, look how anxious you are."

"I was just kidding you."

"Haha, my acting was pretty good, wasn't it?"

After saying that, he even wiggled his waist and butt, looking incredibly smug.

Wu An was furious.

He went up and kicked him, but Ah Qing dodged it.

The two ran around the pile of fish.

"Stop right there!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You idiot."

"Brother, I really fooled you just now."

Wu An: "...¥#%*#!"

Fu Yongning looked at the two brothers helplessly; they were making a ruckus, far too much of a fuss.

If this were on Boss Chen's ship, he would have been given a severe dressing-down long ago. On this ship, he could only remind himself to get used to the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After playing around for a while, everyone sorted the items again.

Most of the catch from this net was in good condition, with many lionfish still alive. Live lionfish are naturally more valuable, so Fu Yongning arranged a separate live fish hold for these venomous creatures.

He and the three Fan brothers also devised a plan to take turns watching over the lionfish in the live fish tank, hoping to ensure that all the lionfish could return to the dock alive.

Wu An was also picky, mainly choosing fish that were not very poisonous or non-toxic, such as pufferfish. The pufferfish that Wu An caught were so angry that they swelled up all over.

They look quite cute.

Wu An picked one up and looked at it, when he was accidentally spat in the face by a pufferfish.

"Damn it."

Wu An went up and slapped the pufferfish.

The pufferfish was even angrier.

Its lips trembled, revealing sharp teeth. Although it couldn't make a sound, you could tell from the shape of its mouth that it was cursing very filthyly.

Wu An didn't tolerate it.

I promptly used it to wipe my rain boots, and then tossed it aside afterward.

Besides these poisonous creatures, there were also quite a few octopuses, squid, and a particularly small baby cuttlefish. Wu An picked up several and was about to throw them away when Fu Yongning looked up and saw them. He quickly called out, "An, what are you doing?"

Wu An casually said, "Throw such a small one back into the sea and let it grow bigger."

Fu Yongning was both amused and exasperated: "These baby squid don't grow very big; they're just this size."

Don't let its small size fool you.

"It's not cheap."

"and……"

Wu An asked, "And what?"

Fu Yongning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Besides, these little squid are delicious."

Wu An pressed further, "How do you eat it?"

Fu Yongning said sullenly, "Just steam it directly in the pot."

Wu An quickly picked out a few and threw them into a net basket, saying, "Then we'll make a pot of seafood to steam for dinner tonight."

Fu Yongning glanced at the basket and saw that besides squid, baby squid, stone crabs, flower crabs, and mantis shrimp, there were also many slipper prawns.

He couldn't help but say, "Ah An, there aren't many mantis shrimp in these two nets."

Wu An nodded: "Indeed."

"Perhaps there aren't many mantis shrimp here to begin with."

"Since there aren't many, let's not sell them, let's just eat them all."

What do you all think?

Aqing was the first to respond, and the Fan brothers were delighted, thinking it was really great to be on the boat, where they could eat as many mantis shrimps as they wanted, even though they cost tens of yuan per kilogram.

When I told my husband this, he kept saying it was impossible, absolutely impossible, and he simply couldn't believe that a fishing boat owner would be so generous.

On this trip, the two brothers each spent over 30,000 yuan, totaling over 60,000 yuan. That's more than sixty red banknotes slapped on the table, and the old man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The old man works himself to the bone for a month, and if he's lucky, he can only earn fifty or sixty thousand.

The two brothers finished it in three days.

Finally, the old man went to the Mazu Temple overnight and didn't return for a long time.

Seeing this, Fu Yongning remained silent: "..."

He wanted to slap himself, cursing himself for being so talkative.

By the time the poisonous fish in this net were dealt with, it was already a little past 5 p.m. Thanks to Fu Yongning's repeated instructions, no one was injured. After Fu Yongning finished his work, he saw Wu An catch a relatively large lionfish to process.

Fu Yongning opened his mouth, about to speak, but then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He wanted to persuade Wu An not to eat it.

But he dared not say too much, lest he annoy Wu An.

The only option is to use a cigarette to gag him.

Just as he was about to get busy on the deck, hoping to avoid seeing it, he turned around and heard Wu An call out, "Brother Yongning, I need to process the lionfish. Can you help keep an eye on it?"

Fu Yongning responded and went inside, but couldn't help asking, "A'an, this one was originally dead, wasn't it?"

Wu An smiled, knowing what Fu Yongning wanted to say, and quickly replied, "Of course."

Fu Yongning nodded and then remained silent, helping Wu An to prepare the lionfish, removing all the poisonous parts, and finally braising it.

They make braised fish in a simple way here. They sauté scallions and ginger, add some soy sauce, and simmer for a few minutes before serving. They can't make it too elaborate on a boat.

After dinner was prepared, Old Fu came to ask if we should haul in the nets.

Wu An glanced at the system; his luck points were low, but he still had some. He said, "No rush to set up the net. Let's eat first, and then we can get busy."
