Chapter 947: Childish, too childish!
This net of cod, minus the heads, filled more than 20 boxes. Assuming each box weighs 60 kilograms, there are more than 1,200 kilograms in total.
Fu Wan was very satisfied with the harvest. In addition to the good ones, there were also some that were broken in the dragnet. Ye Lin threw them all aside and prepared to fry them for a midnight snack when he was hungry.
Seeing that the net was almost cleared, Fu Wan could no longer bear it, so she went into the rest cabin, washed up, and fell asleep in bed.
She slept so soundly that even the ship's bell rang once in the middle of the night, but it didn't wake Fu Wan up.
When she woke up, the sky outside the window was already slightly brighter. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, got out of bed and walked to the window.
In addition to its size, what Fu Wan likes most about the Riding the Wind and Waves is the windows in the rest cabin.
The windows were not changed much during the renovation, and the aesthetic of the former Soviet Union was still followed. The windows are large and square, and the scenery outside can be seen at a glance.
The deep blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see. Although the sky is turning pale, the moon and stars in the sky are still shining.
Fu Wan admired the scenery outside for a few minutes, calmed down, and then went to wash up and leave the rest cabin.
It was very windy on the deck. Fu Daniu and Fu Jinshui were sitting in the shelter from the wind, killing fish with a cigarette in their mouths.
"Brother Daniel, what are you doing?"
Fu Wan leaned over to take a look. Half of the fish basket was filled with cleaned flathead fish, and the other half had not been cleaned yet.
Fu Daniu was startled by Fu Wan's voice, turned around and quickly put out the cigarette in his mouth.
He was reluctant to throw it away and put it aside quietly.
"Oh, I heard Uncle Gou Wa say that we should take these fish back to dry in the sun. I thought it would be fine, so I might as well clean up and hang them on the boat to enjoy the breeze."
Fu Daniu explained with a silly smile that it was now his and Fu Jinshui's turn to stare at the trawl net lowered from behind. The two of them had nothing to do, so they could only find something to do.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work."
"Whether it's hard or not, it's what we deserve."
Fu Wan smiled and chatted for a few minutes, without asking any more questions, and went to the main control room.
In fact, it is very common to dry fish on a boat. In the past, Ye Xiaocui liked to string the fish together with ropes and hang them on the boat at the dock to dry in the wind. The wind was strong there, so the fish would be dry in two days.
Fu Daniu also thought that the fish would have to be cleaned when he got back, and he would have to help with the work on the boat. It would be better to clean the fish and hang it up with a rope when he got back, so that Fu Lao Da and his family wouldn't have to worry about it.
This is what a smart person would think of. Fu Wan sighed in her heart as she walked towards the wheelhouse. Her father was quite good at recruiting boatmen. The people he recruited on board were basically pragmatic and hardworking. Not only did they not cause trouble, but they also saved her a lot of trouble.
When we arrived at the wheelhouse, Fu Ming was driving the boat, and Boss Fu was sleeping soundly in the chair next to him.
"Brother, you haven't returned to the boat yet?"
Fu Ming rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I finished collecting the cod but the boat hadn't come yet, so I went to sleep for a while. I didn't expect to oversleep."
Not only did he oversleep, but when he woke up, he was drafted by Boss Fu and dragged here for a few hours on the boat.
Fu Wan was so happy to hear this, "Then you can go back after breakfast. Now you go and rest for a while, I will drive!"
Fu Ming was not pretentious. After staring at the sea for several hours, he was indeed a little tired.
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare breakfast."
As soon as Fu Wan took the helm, Boss Fu woke up.
Seeing that Fu Wan was driving the boat and Fu Ming was nowhere to be seen, he didn't say anything, but just stood up and stretched.
"Oh my goodness, Wan, if we can only catch two more nets today, we'll have to go back, right?"
Fu Wan agreed verbally, but her eyes were always looking at the sea ahead.
We happened to be passing several reefs at this time, so it was time to be careful.
"That's about right, Dad. How was your catch last night?"
Boss Fu rubbed his face and said, "Not bad. I cast a net last night and caught over 800 kilograms of hairtail and white pomfret. They're all in pretty good condition."
"After sorting out the fish, I saw that the weather was good, so I asked Ming and Lin to try catching squid with the new headlights we bought. Guess what we got?"
Fu Wan heard the joy in Boss Fu's tone.
"Dad, you're so happy, it must be good, right?"
"Haha, it's not just good, it's very good!"
"We caught two thousand kilograms of squid alone, and about a thousand kilograms of octopus and cuttlefish. Hey, it's amazing! This is the first time I knew that this light could lure cuttlefish!"
Fu Wan laughed when she heard that. Cuttlefish are also phototactic, but to be able to catch so many cuttlefish, it was probably because they happened to come across a school of cuttlefish.
It’s a pity that I slept too soundly and didn’t make it to such a big event.
Fu Wan drove the boat for more than half an hour. Soon, the sky was completely bright and the sun jumped out from below the sea level.
Boss Fu ran to wash his face, then rang the ship's bell to let everyone get up and have breakfast.
This breakfast also needs to be finished quickly because it’s almost time to go online.
Breakfast was made by Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu, and Fu Mingda would take action.
Breakfast is simple, a pot of sweet potato porridge, a large bowl of hot steamed cornbread and white flour steamed buns.
And there are two dishes to go with porridge.
The dishes were cooked by Fu Ming, including the fried eggs with chili peppers that Fu Wan loved. Although the eggs were finely chopped, they were so delicious when paired with porridge and steamed buns.
Everyone quickly finished their breakfast, and Boss Fu started to operate the network.
He had originally planned to rest after breakfast, but he wanted to see what he had caught online before he could bear to go to sleep.
A huge net bag rose up facing the morning sun, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the faces of everyone on the deck, making everyone's expectations more vivid.
Fu Wan also arrived on the deck, followed by Dong Haiyang.
After breakfast, Dong Haiyang took over the task of driving the boat, but since he didn't need to drive the boat at the moment, he also ran over to watch the fun.
As the net rope was pulled open, the fish in the net bag fell down one after another. The sunlight on the deck also fell on the fish, instantly adding a beautiful filter to the fish.
"Wow, there are a lot of shrimp in this net!"
"There are quite a few tongue fish, too. Look, isn't there a big cuttlefish in the middle?"
The boatmen were talking about it, and Boss Fu couldn't help but picked up the rake beside him and went back to work.
"Come on, come on, stop standing there and get to work!"
He bent down and picked up a cuttlefish that was bigger than his head. The cuttlefish was frightened and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of ink.
Boss Fu was well prepared, but Ye Lin, who was standing next to him, was caught off guard and was sprayed all over in an instant.
"Haha, Dalinzi, you won the prize!"
Fu Ming was so happy that he kept shouting. Ye Lin was not angry. He just scooped up two handfuls of ink and wiped them on Fu Ming's body.
How could Fu Ming give in? The two of them started arguing while working.
This scene made Fu Qing, who was closest to them, frown, and then he pulled his small stool and quickly moved away from the battlefield.
These two older brothers are so childish that even Ah Qing can’t stand it!
