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

Chapter 407: Harvest of Ground Trap

"Awan, you're really awesome. There are so many crabs, it's like someone stuffed them in here on purpose, hahahaha!"

After Boss Fu finished speaking, he laughed happily.

Fu Liang also nodded in agreement. There were at least twenty or thirty crabs in the crab cage. It was just like someone was stuffing crabs into it at the bottom of the sea!

However, after being slapped by Boss Fu, he also remembered the scene when Boss Fu took them to identify crabs when they were young. The crabs in the crab cage were indeed the rare red flower crabs!

In fact, red flower crabs were not uncommon in Fujia Village in the past.

The red flower crab lives up to its name, with a light or dark red shell covered in patterns. Its abdomen, like other crabs, is white. The red flower crab is delicious, and its meat is incredibly sweet and plump, tasting better than mud crabs. This made it a favorite of nearby fishermen.

Because more and more people were catching them at that time, they became extinct for a while. Boss Fu hadn't seen this thing for more than ten years in his previous life, but he didn't expect to catch so many in the crab cage today.

Moreover, each one looked to be more than half a pound, and some were even bigger than his palm.

Fu Wan originally found the crab's pattern strange, but now after hearing what Boss Fu said, she liked it even more.

"Dad, leave a few of these crabs for us to try later!"

Boss Fu nodded continuously as he put the remaining crabs in the crab cage into the fish basket.

"Okay, okay, I'll pick out a few big ones later and have your mother steam them for dinner!"

Such plump crabs, it would be so delicious to go home and have some wine with them!

Fu Liang also had a happy look on his face. Looking at the increasing number of crabs in the fish basket, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

He was smart enough to give his seat to Awan!

This harvest has to be achieved by Awan!

After thinking for a while, he piled the empty crab cage in his hand aside and walked diligently to Fu Wan's side.

"Awan, just pull up the crab cage, I'll be in charge of picking them out!"

Fu Wan raised her eyebrows and did not refuse. There were not many crabs in the crab cage anyway, and with Boss Fu around, she wouldn't be able to get many either.

Besides, it wasn't tiring to pull this thing, so she readily agreed to Fu Liang's request.

In fact, if this scene was seen by the villagers, they would inevitably say something against Tian Gang.

After all, in the village, it has always been the men who pull the crab cages and fishing nets, and the women are responsible for odd jobs like picking fish.

One reason is the disparity in strength between men and women, and the other is that women are more meticulous in their work when it comes to sorting fish.

However, these points are not obvious in Fu Wan's house. The main reason is that there are too many fish. If Ye Xiaocui and the others were the only ones to pick them, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Moreover, although Fu Ming and Fu Liang are very strong, their luck is not very good. Although Fu Liang also wants to take back the crab cage and other things like Fu Wan, he can't do it!

He has never had such good luck!

(T.T)

Fu Wan continued to perform steadily in the crab cages at the back, and the harvest in the three crab cages she pulled up was more than ten kilograms.

Boss Fu didn't believe it at first, so he simply let go of the ropes of the remaining two crab cages.

There was no other way, so he pulled up a few cages. One cage only had two small swimming crabs, while the other had three larger swimming crabs, but they were also missing limbs due to fighting.

There was even a crab cage. The chicken offal inside had been eaten, but there was no sign of crabs. Instead, there was a big hole in the fishing net on the crab cage, which had been torn by something.

It was impossible not to believe this, but the crab cages that Fu Wan pulled up later were not as many as the ones in front, but each one still contained five or six pounds of crabs, and each one weighed about half a pound.

They are all top-quality three-eyed crabs and orchid crabs.

Ye Xiaocui, Jiang Chunlan and Fu Fengying never stopped tying ropes to the crabs. As for Jack, he was still imitating Ye Lin's way of fighting the bamboo tube trap.

Seeing that the crab cages and bamboo tube traps were put away, Boss Fu went over and took back the ground traps that had been lowered.

As usual, there were a few white eels and some prawns. The other catches today were good, and Boss Fu didn't expect the trap to explode.

Unexpectedly, the more this kind of bad mentality is, the easier it is to get a surprise. As soon as the trap was lifted up, Boss Fu felt something was wrong.

Heavy, extremely heavy!

Looking at the trap in his hand, he could clearly see through the mesh that it was full of fish.

Just from this cursory glance, there are sesame-spotted groupers, tiger groupers, and a fat, thick sea eel.

Even as he moved, Boss Fu saw the shadow of a rat-spotted fish among the pile of fish.

What is he waiting for? He picked up the fish baskets, dragged them over, and dumped them all out.

Fu Ming saw that everything in the sea had been collected from the cockpit, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Dad, how about going back to the dock?"

Boss Fu didn't even raise his head, and was busy with Fu Wan catching the grouper from the fish basket and putting it into the fish box with water.

"Drive, drive back quickly!"

We had a great harvest today. If we don’t go back, the boat will be full.

Well, the boat is still a little small.

After receiving the order from his father, Fu Ming immediately drove the boat to the dock. Fu Liang looked at the grouper swimming in the water tank and grinned happily.

"I didn't expect there would be so many groupers in the last cage!"

Fu Wan and Ye Lin also nodded. That’s right, sesame-spotted fish, tiger-spotted fish and mouse-spotted fish, these three fish alone are enough for Boss Fu to brag about.

Not to mention a conger eel weighing two or three pounds and several white eels!

The people here cleaned out the things in the trap, and Ye Lin's bamboo tube was almost empty.

After Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan tied up the crabs, they did not stop to rest. Instead, they were busy tying up the fishing nets, preparing to wash them at the dock and carry them back to dry in the sun.

Boss Fu connected a pipe to the boat a few days ago, and is now washing the fish. It's much faster than washing them basket by basket with seawater. However, the engine of the pipe also runs on diesel, which is something ordinary fishermen can't afford.

The fish after cleaning looks completely different from before cleaning. Not only does it look fresh and clean, but it is also neatly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye.

This kind of goods do not need to be sorted again when they arrive at Fu Sanjia, and can be directly taken to the county and town to be sold to restaurants.

Night had fallen by then, and occasionally tiny lights could be seen on the sea, which were fishing boats at work.

At this time, there was still about an hour before arriving at the dock. Fu Wan saw that it was still early, so she boiled some water and cooked a pot of instant noodles for everyone to fill their stomachs first.

This is a deluxe version of instant noodles. Although there are no eggs on the boat, there are shrimps, crabs and other things. Not only did the two children eat to their heart's content, but Jack and Fu Fengying didn't even have any soup left.

"Awan, these instant noodles are good. Let's buy some more when we get back to the county!"
