Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 1145 What are these?

"Okay, Comrade Fu Wan, I'll stop talking. I'm still busy reviewing manuscripts.

You mean the day after tomorrow, right? Then I'll come over early the day after tomorrow and you can pick me up at the station, right? "

Su Ran took a look at his work schedule for the next two days and postponed his trip for the day after tomorrow.

Of course Fu Wan agreed immediately. It just so happened that she also had to go to the station to pick up Jiang Wanghai that day. Both of them took the earliest bus, maybe even the same bus.

After hanging up the phone with Su Ran, Fu Wan finally put down the cell phone.

Damn it, the call lasted nearly half an hour. The cell phone felt as heavy as a brick, and her hands were sore from holding it up.

Fu Wan stretched her sore wrists twice and glanced at the time. It was past six o'clock, already evening.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door. Fu Wan walked out and saw that Fu Ming and Qin An Ning, who had gone somewhere unknown, had returned on bicycles.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what have you been doing?"

"Hey, let's go for a stroll around the aquaculture area."

"Hey, Awan, come and see what this is!"

As Fu Ming spoke, he pushed the bicycle to the wall, and then gestured to Fu Wan to look at the bucket in Qin An Ning's hand as if he was presenting a treasure.

The bucket was half filled with not very turbid water, and there were a dozen palm-sized prawns darting around in the water.

"Is this prawn from the aquaculture area?"

Fu Wan's eyes lit up. She was just thinking about whether to go to the breeding area, but it was almost dark, so she decided to go tomorrow morning.

I didn’t expect that Fu Ming and Qin An Ning were so in sync that they happened to go to the breeding area and bring back the shrimps!

It's true that birds of a feather flock together. They all want to go the same way!

Qin An Ning smiled and nodded in affirmation. She was also very surprised when she saw such big shrimps in the net cage and learned that they were raised by Fu Wan.

"It's from a breeding base, Awan. These shrimp have grown to this size. Can we sell them now?"

Qin An Ning didn't know much about seafood, but the ones she usually ate at the Fu family were about the same size as the shrimps in the bucket.

Fu Wan reached out and picked up a shrimp. The shrimp was lively and jumped back into the bucket in less than half a second.

"Wow, quite energetic!"

Ye Xiaocui, who was busy in the kitchen, came over curiously when she heard the words. When she saw how big the shrimps she raised were, she was immediately filled with pride.

A while ago, some people in the village said that fish and shrimp could not be raised to big size. Now they have been slapped in the face.

Fu Wan picked up another shrimp and looked at it carefully. It was indeed about the same size as the wild ones. The only difference was that the color was a little lighter than the wild shrimp.

But color appearance is not the most important thing.

The most important thing, of course, is whether this farmed shrimp tastes good!

"That's perfect, let's try the shrimp we raised tonight!"

Fu Wan had definitely tasted farmed fish and shrimp, but that was in her previous life, and it had been a long time. If she were to describe what farmed fish and shrimp tasted like, Fu Wan really couldn't describe it.

All I can say is that most farmed products cannot be compared with wild ones, and a small number of improved varieties taste far better than wild fish and shrimp.

Fu Wan knew very well that if her farmed seafood wanted to have a market, not only would the yield have to be high, but the taste and flavor must also be improved. Only in this way could it fetch a good price. Only then would the aquaculture industry be able to make her a lot of money when the fishing ban was implemented in the future.

Fu Wan did it right away. She remembered that there were still a lot of wild prawns in the pond in the backyard, so she went over and scooped up a bowl of them, intending to make them using the same method as a reference.

Two plates of prawns were placed on the stove, and Ye Xiaocui started to sigh before they were even put into the pot.

"Oh, I'm not bragging, but I think our prawns taste just as good as wild ones."

Fu Wan looked at her mother's confident look and was immediately amused.

"Mom, how can you be so sure?"

"Oh, you can figure it out just by thinking about your toes!"

Ye Xiaocui picked up two bowls of shrimp and said, "Look, although the colors of these farmed shrimp are different, their bellies are clean and they are very energetic. They have been out of the water for almost a quarter of an hour, and their legs are still moving!

Besides, our shrimp fry are also wild shrimp, and they are all raised in the sea. It's like turning wild rabbits into domestic rabbits, so the taste will definitely be the same!"

Fu Wan was stunned by her words, but Ye Xiaocui's logic did make sense.

"We'll see if it can compare to the wild stuff by blanching it."

The best way to test the taste of seafood is to steam or blanch it directly. After boiling water, Fu Wan poured the farmed shrimps into the water first. After the shrimps changed color and were cooked, she fished them out.

As soon as it was fished out, Fu Ming couldn't wait to pick one up and try it.

"Ouch, you're not hot!"

Ye Xiaocui frowned in disgust, and Fu Ming grimaced because of the burn, but he still quickly peeled off the shell of the shrimp.

Then he stuffed the shrimp meat into his mouth without dipping it in any sauce.

"Brother, how's it going?"

Fu Wan looked at him curiously. Fu Ming chewed it twice and swallowed it. "Hey, why do they taste the same as wild prawns to me? Wan, did you cook them right?"

Fu Wan shook her head. "It's impossible to cook it wrong. I use round plates for wild shrimp and soup bowls for farmed shrimp. Look, I just put these round shrimp in the pot!"

Fu Ming heard it and saw that it was true. "Then the taste is similar. Why don't you try it again?"

After Fu Ming finished speaking, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but grabbed one, peeled it and put it in her mouth.

The shrimp meat was so chewy that Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but squint her eyes while eating it.

“I think the farmed ones are tastier than the wild ones!”

"Really, it's as sweet as sugar."

Fu Wan had already caught the wild shrimp by this time. She picked up a farmed shrimp, peeled it and put it in her mouth. After eating it, she tried a wild one.

Just then, Qin Anning walked in and asked curiously, "How is it? Is there a big difference?"

Fu Wan shook her head, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"I don't think there's any difference either. Oh my god, I never thought our farmed shrimp would taste as good as wild ones!"

Upon hearing this, Qin An Ning couldn't wait to try it too, but she couldn't tell the difference. In the end, it was Boss Fu, who had just come back from bragging to the village chief, who expressed the same opinion as Ye Xiaocui after eating it.

He also thinks farmed shrimp are sweeter!

It's strange too. The feed for the shrimps is provided by the research institute. Fu Wan looked at the ingredients and found that it is basically plankton, without any sugar additives.

The day of salvaging farmed seafood soon arrived. Fu Wan drove to the station early in the morning to pick up Su Ran and Jiang Wanghai. Jiang Wanghai brought two people with him, both of whom were comrades who came to visit the research institute.

Su Ran came alone, and when she saw Fu Wan, she was almost crying with excitement.

"Fu Wan, you have to treat me well this time. In order to take good promotional photos for you, I even brought my brother's heirloom here."
