Chapter 241 Preparations before going to sea
Chapter 241 Preparations before going to sea
There is definitely no problem going out to sea, but Boss Fu's heart is still at sea and he hasn't returned.
Fu Wan and the others were away these days, so he could only rely on fishing and watching others unload fish from the sea at the dock to satisfy his desire.
"Going out to sea, huh? Okay, okay, I'll go tell Aliang and Aming to get the fishing nets and bamboo tubes ready."
Speaking of this, Boss Fu thought of Ye Lin again.
"Awan, you're going to your uncle's house this time. Is there anything going on in Dalinzi?"
Ye Xiaocui finally came to her senses. She was so focused on looking at the wild boar meat that she forgot about important matters!
Under the expectant eyes of her parents, Fu Wan evaded the main issues that had occurred in the Ye family.
After hearing this, Boss Fu frowned. Ye Xiaocui sighed, "For a family to end up like this, Ah Jun must be foolish and not in his right mind!"
It's true that he was not in a clear mind, but fortunately nothing serious happened. When Ye Xiaocui heard that the family had been divided and the problem had been solved, she stopped asking about it.
Boss Fu was too lazy to ask about these things. After all, it was someone else's family affair. Ye Lin was helping on the boat because of their good relationship with Fu Wan, and because Ye Lin was hardworking and capable.
But the division of the family is not something they can get involved in.
"Mom, we went up the mountain and picked up a lot of chestnuts yesterday. I'll cook them and eat them later!"
"Chestnuts! I haven't eaten them in years!"
She rarely went to the mountains near Fujia Village and had never heard of any wild chestnuts.
Ye Xiaocui looked at the big wild boar leg and was puzzled. "How can I eat such a big leg?"
Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Let's braise it. This wild boar meat soup is a bit too fishy and hard to drink!"
Boss Fu agreed, "Then braise it. I'll chop it up!"
Chopping wild boar legs is a strenuous job. As soon as Fu Ming came back, he went to find Fu Liang with a bag of chestnuts. He was the only man in the family now.
Ye Xiaocui had no objection, but just as she took out the wild boar meat, she found two packed rabbits underneath.
"Why is there a rabbit here?"
Fu Wan was also helpless. "We caught more than a dozen wild rabbits in the mountains yesterday. My uncle insisted that I take two with me. I said no, but he was afraid we didn't want to keep them, so he simply packed up two early in the morning and stuffed them into the car."
"Your uncle is like that. This rabbit is really fat. We can't finish it in a short time even if we clean it up at home. Chop it in half and send half to Aliang and Fu San's family!"
After Ye Xiaocui distributed the rabbits, she thought there was nothing else in the snakeskin bag, but she took out an enamel pot from it.
"Why did you bring back the enamel pot as well?"
This enamel pot was obviously the one Ye Lin bought when she got married. Without waiting for Fu Wan to answer, she opened the lid and a large bowl of honey appeared in front of her.
"Ouch, where did this come from!"
When Boss Fu heard Ye Xiaocui's scream, he thought something had happened, so he put down the wild boar leg in his hand and came over.
"This is good stuff!"
He could tell at a glance that it was wild honey from the mountains, a good thing that was hard to buy even with money.
"You are so powerful that you dare to dig out a wild beehive?"
Fu Wan smiled mysteriously, "I didn't take that out."
Boss Fu was curious, "Even A-Ming doesn't have the guts to do that. Did your brother A-Ling pay for it?"
Fu Wan shook her head, and Ye Xiaocui became upset. "Your uncle paid for it, why is he still acting like a child?"
Fu Wan shook her head again and pointed at the wild boar on the kitchen chopping board.
"It took it out."
"I just said your uncle wouldn't... What, a wild boar took it out?!"
Ye Xiaocui came back to her senses, and Boss Fu suddenly realized, "No wonder you caught a wild boar."
"That's right, we got the better deal. The wild boar and the honey both suffered losses."
It seems that his daughter has had a wonderful experience these two days. Boss Fu is very envious. When will he be able to encounter such an exciting thing?
Because the children were all back, the Fu family had an unusually sumptuous lunch today.
Ye Xiaocui rarely indulged herself and steamed a large pot of white rice. Fu Wan cooked the rabbit cold with a bunch of dried chilies and mixed it with a bowl of fried peanuts. Boss Fu tried to get Ye Xiaocui's consent to eat it with some rice wine. It was so delicious.
The wild boar legs were braised. One big pig leg filled up a whole pot. The pot was the one Fu Ming brought back from Shen Dongsheng's house before. It was filled to the brim.
This was still the leftovers after Ye Xiaocui filled two bowls with the soup and sent them to Fu San and Fu Liang's homes.
Although we ate a lot of pork at Ye Jianguo's house yesterday, today's pig's trotters were made by Ye Xiaocui herself. They were soft, tasty and fragrant.
Fu Ming took piece after piece, and Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but persuade him, "Eat less, or you'll get a stomachache if you eat too much later."
After hearing this, the meat in Fu Ming's mouth no longer had any flavor. "It's all my fault, Mom. This meat is too delicious."
Ye Xiaocui couldn't help laughing, and Fu Wan rolled her eyes at him. He was the only one who could speak.
After lunch, Fu Liang came over carrying the fishing nets. Before going out to sea, Boss Fu wanted them to check all the fishing nets, so that the nets would not be broken during operation.
If the fishing net breaks and the fish are not pulled up, I will be so upset that I will have to wake up in the middle of the night.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan took the shuttle and the thread to mend the broken fishing nets.
Fu Wan put away the mermaid clothes she had washed earlier, took out her bamboo arrows, and began to sharpen the arrowheads.
Unfortunately, there are no stainless steel arrowheads for sale here now. Although bamboo arrowheads are free of charge, their lifespan is extremely short and they often crack due to excessive force.
Therefore, Fu Wan would always choose bamboo that was not easy to crack, and then fix it with wire and nails. Because it was easy to break, she would also prepare a few more bamboo arrows just in case.
We said we were going out to sea, but the weather, which had been sunny for many days, suddenly started raining after dinner.
The rain was coming so hard that it looked like there was a hole in the sky. The crackling sound made Boss Fu a little upset.
"I don't know if I can go out to sea tomorrow."
It was raining so hard that he wouldn't dare take his family out to sea unless the sky cleared up.
Ye Xiaocui was lying on the bed, so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
"It's okay. If you can't go out to sea, it's okay to go after Mid-Autumn Festival."
Anyway, the family is not in the situation where they couldn't even come up with fifty dollars, so safety is the most important thing.
Boss Fu thought about it and realized that no matter how much he worried about the rain, it wouldn’t stop. It was all in vain.
So he went back to bed, listened to the sound of rain outside and his wife's breathing, and then fell into a deep sleep.
No matter whether he can go out to sea or not, let’s get some sleep first!
Perhaps the Fu family's desire to go out to sea moved Mazu, and the sun rose as usual the next morning.
When Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui got up in the morning, there was no sign of rain outside and the sun was shining everywhere.
The couple looked at each other and decided to go to the beach with their buckets to try their luck, let alone making breakfast!
