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

Chapter 564: Strange Reef Cave

"Good job, you guys, you actually found a piece of abalone!"

Fu Wan exclaimed in surprise, and when Fu Qing looked up, he saw a different kind of steamed bun in Fu Wan's hand.

She wanted to eat too, but she had to work.

Oh, she is so difficult!

Fu Wan immediately saw the desire in Fu Qing's eyes, reached out and broke the remaining steamed bun into three pieces, and stuffed them directly into Fu Qing and Fang Min's mouths.

After she put the piece in her hand into her mouth, she squatted down to examine the abalone.

"Awan, we are amazing, aren't we? I was the first one to discover this!"

Fu Qing proudly pointed at the abalone on the reef. Perhaps because this deserted island is sparsely populated, there are so many abalone.

Looking around, they are densely packed, and each one is the size of a duck egg.

Fu Wan gave Fu Qing a thumbs up, "Amazing, Qing is awesome!"

"Amin is amazing. With so many abalone, they will surely sell for a lot of money."

Praising Fu Qing was not the end, Fu Wan also praised Fang Min.

Fang Min's cheeks turned slightly red. She rarely heard such straightforward compliments from others. She smiled immediately and lowered her head to continue digging abalone.

Fu Wan pulled out the small knife she carried with her and pried out five or six of them in a row. Fang Min felt a little strange when she saw that she didn't put them in the abalone bucket on the side.

"Awan, aren't all these abalones in the bucket?"

Fu Wan shook her head. "These look good. I'll wash them later and blanch them for everyone to try at noon."

Fang Min also knew how expensive abalone was, but she habitually followed Fu Wan's opinion, so she didn't say much.

After picking up more than twenty abalones, Fu Wan felt her hands a little sore. Looking at Fu Qing's actions next to her, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah Qing, why do you only pick the big ones?"

Fu Qing said seriously, "Ah Qing is not stupid. Big ones are valuable. Let's pry the big ones first."

Fu Wan understood, but the girl had not yet recovered from her shock and thought that she had to rob the fish just like digging abalone near the village.

"It's okay to pry the big one. We can separate the big one from the small one later so we can calculate the price later."

These words were mainly said to Fang Min, and Fang Min responded with a "OK". Fu Wan stood up after she finished speaking, and just at this time, Boss Fu came over with a few traps.

"Dad, are you going to the trap?"

Boss Fu laughed out loud, "Yes, I think the water quality around here is pretty good, there are still a lot of aquatic plants even in such a cold day.

I went on the boat to look for it, luckily I brought a few ground traps and crab pots.

Awan, this island is not big, take your brother and the others for a walk, maybe you can find something valuable."

After saying that, Boss Fu looked around to find a Feng Shui treasure underground trap. When he saw the abalone on Fu Qing's side, Boss Fu grinned again.

He said that his lifelong experience as a fisherman told him that there were many valuable goods on this island!

Think about the Coconut Island and Bird’s Nest Island they visited before, which one didn’t have good stuff!

Boss Fu found a place and went over to set up the crab traps. Ye Jianguo walked behind him carrying a few crab cages, while Chen Balian carried a bucket and looked for conchs everywhere.

"Brother, I'm going to the other side of the island. Do you want to come?"

When Fu Ming heard his sister's cry, he immediately responded loudly, "Go!"

He hurriedly poured all the seafood in his bucket to Fu Liang, then ran towards Fu Wan with the empty bucket.

"Awan, this is my first time coming to Sky Island, it's so exciting!"

As Fu Ming followed, Ye Lin also walked over quickly with a bucket in hand.

"I'll go with you too!"

With these two 1.8-meter-tall men around, Fu Wan felt like she had two bodyguards.

"Okay, take your knife and other tools with you. Maybe we'll encounter some unexpected surprises when we go over there."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin knew he had come to the right place.

Fu Liang also wanted to follow, but there were still many conchs that had not been taken off at his feet, and he could not get away.

This island is actually similar to Coconut Island and Bird's Nest Island, but it is smaller than those two islands and the trees on the island are sparse.

Fu Wan took Fu Ming and Ye Lin to the other side of the island. There were many dark brown reefs on the road, and it was a bit difficult to climb over them.

Fortunately, all three of them were agile and climbing a few rocks was no problem for them.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Fu Wan could only hear the occasional calls of seabirds and the rustling of the wind.

"Hey, what do you think that is?"

Ye Lin strode across a trench. The tide had not yet receded, and the sea water had basically submerged the trench.

But Ye Lin's eyes were well-developed, having been trained from catching rabbits in the woods since he was a child, so finding prey was a matter of minutes for him.

He reached into the trench and fumbled around for a long time. Fu Ming and Fu Wan were wondering about it, so Ye Lin took out a red scallop.

"Can this thing be eaten?"

It was the first time Ye Lin had seen such shellfish, so he held up the shell and asked Fu Wan.

Fu Wan handed the bucket over. "It's edible. It's just ordinary red scallops."

She glanced at the trench. Because of Ye Lin's recent exploration, the water in the trench was a little turbid.

But that didn't stop her from seeing a lot of red scallops lying in the trench.

What can I say about this red scallop? It’s edible, but it won’t fetch a high price.

This is also one of the raw materials for sun-dried scallops, and it was one of the species that Fu Wan had planned to cultivate before.

The price is affordable and it is a seafood that ordinary people can afford.

The reason why Ye Lin had no impression of this ordinary seashell was that what was sold at the dock was basically scallop meat picked out by fishermen, and the shells had long been thrown aside.

When Ye Lin heard Fu Wan say it was worthless, he instantly lost interest.

"The tide hasn't receded yet. Let's go for a walk and come back to sort it out."

You have to see seafood and not take it home. Although it is cheap, it tastes good when steamed.

Especially now that the weather is cold and the sea water is cold, the seafood living in this cold water is becoming more and more fresh and sweet.

After the three of them remembered this place, they continued to move forward. Soon, Fu Wan saw an empty reef cave entrance.

Thinking of the reef cave on Yanwo Island, Fu Wan was somewhat tempted.

Could there be bird’s nest in here too?

However, she denied her guess the next second, mainly because she didn't even see a single swallow feather in the area, let alone a swiftlet.

But Fu Ming was very interested in the cave, and immediately walked in first.

"Hey, it's pitch black in here, I can't see anything."

Fu Ming took two steps and then stepped back to complain. Fu Ming thought for a while and took out a box of matches from his body.

"I put this in my pocket when I was cooking. We didn't have a flashlight with us."

"I'll go over and take a look."

What’s the use of a box of matches? Fu Ming and the others can’t see clearly without light, but Fu Wan can!

She walked quickly forward and after taking two steps into the cave, she found something wrong.

There were several large rocks half a person's height piled up at the entrance of the reef cave. Looking through the gaps between the rocks, one could clearly see several large wooden boxes piled up inside the cave.

There wasn't even any dust on the wooden boxes, so it was estimated that they had not been there for long.
