Chapter 561 Big Eel
Chapter 561 Big Eel
The fish in the sea also felt the pull and instinctively pulled the fishing line to escape.
Ye Lin was no pushover either. He kept pulling the fishing line onto the deck. Fu Wan and Fu Shi also came over, holding a hand net, ready to help at any time.
"Can you see what kind of fish it is?"
Fang Min handed the flashlight to Fu Wan and asked.
Fu Shi beside him shook his head, "The fish is still deep down, and we can't see it even with a flashlight.
Ye Lin, if you feel tired, just let us know. We are always ready!"
Ye Lin nodded slightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, his face didn't show any sign of fatigue, but rather full of excitement.
Fu Wan kept searching on the sea with a flashlight. Following the direction of the fishing line, she could vaguely see a black shadow more than one meter long.
It’s strange, what kind of fish is so long and so strong?
It must be another sea snake. No, how can a sea snake be so thick?
Thinking of this, Ye Lin gritted his teeth and exerted force again, and he pulled up a lot more of the fish.
The distance was shortened again, and Fu Wan finally saw the true appearance of the thing.
"Moray eel, it's a big moray eel!"
"Scatter, scatter, and get away quickly!"
"Awan, did you really see it clearly? It's really a conger eel?"
Fu Shi asked with some doubt. In fact, he was also leaning against the side of the boat. Even if his eyes were as big as a cow's, the sea was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
However, Ye Lin became even more excited.
"If Awan says it's a conger eel, then it's a conger eel. Brother, quickly prepare the hook!"
Ye Lin believed Fu Wan's words without a doubt. Fang Min's face changed when she heard about the sea eel, and she immediately asked Fu Qing to retreat five or six meters.
After knowing what it was, Ye Lin became more motivated. After another five or six minutes, not only Ye Lin, but even Fu Shi, who had been skeptical before, could see the appearance of the conger eel clearly.
"My goodness, it's a big sea eel!"
The conger eel kept twisting itself into a ball in the water, trying to break free from the fishhook.
Fu Shi stretched out the fishhook and wanted to catch it, but his hand slipped and the hook almost flew out.
"No, throw the net with your hands!"
Before Fu Wan finished her words, Fang Min picked up the hook that had fallen in front of her and hooked the conger eel hard.
After hooking the fish, she swung it hard. Fu Wan hurriedly grabbed Fu Qing who was trying to come over and retreated together.
With a loud "bang", Fang Min threw the conger eel heavily onto the deck.
With such strength and skills, she is worthy of being a female soldier!
When Boss Fu heard the noise, he stood at the cockpit door and shouted to the back:
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
"It's okay, I caught a conger eel!"
After hearing Fu Wan's answer, Boss Fu couldn't help but come over to watch the fun.
With such a big commotion, the conger eel must weigh dozens of kilograms, right?
This was indeed the case. Fang Min waved her hands, her face full of joy.
"This conger eel weighs at least 20 kilograms."
Everyone was happy to hear this, but they all watched from afar and no one dared to go forward.
Only after the conger eel had been tossing and turning on the deck for a while and then stopped making any noise did Ye Lin and Fu Shi muster up the courage to pick up the knife beside them.
One of them used a hook to hold down the eel's head to prevent it from suddenly attacking and biting people, while the other used a knife to cut open the fish's gills to let it bleed more.
Fu Wan looked around and saw that there were not many extension hooks left, so she simply said to Fang Min and Fu Qing:
"We're tired after all this trouble. Let's reel in the remaining fishing lines and get ready to go back to the cabin and rest!"
Fang Min responded and continued working with Fu Qing.
After Fu Wan gathered up the extended fishing line, Fu Shi and Ye Lin cleaned up the conger eel and carried it to the cold storage. (Image of a conger eel online, please delete if infringement occurs. This thing really bites.) After bleeding the conger eel, they had to rinse the deck with water. Seeing Fu Shi and Ye Lin cleaning the deck, Fu Wan washed her hands with soap and smelled them to make sure they were free of any fishy odor before entering the cabin, taking off her coat, and getting ready for bed.
"Ba..."
The long horn sound was particularly loud in the quiet night. Before the horn honking from Boss Fu's side stopped, two other horn sounds were heard not far away.
Fu Wan opened the door and looked outside, and sure enough, not far away about a hundred or two hundred meters, she saw two dim yellow lights.
That is Fu Ming and Fu Liang’s boat.
Fu Wan also wanted to know what they had gained, so she went to the cockpit again.
Unexpectedly, just as I passed by, the radio horn sounded.
"Hey, hey, hey, some people are not, some people are not!"
Fu Ming was so excited that he was shouting at the top of his voice.
"Ouch, there's someone here, please keep your voice down, my ears are going to explode."
"Haha, I'm so happy. Awan, guess how many hairtail we got?"
Fu Wan thought about it and guessed a number, "Nine hundred kilograms?"
"What nine hundred kilograms? It's a full two thousand kilograms!"
"How's it going, Awan? Do you regret not joining our ship?"
As soon as this number came out, Boss Fu, who was trying hard to stay asleep, woke up instantly.
"Ah Ming, is this true? You caught two thousand kilograms of hairtail?"
Hearing that Boss Fu was there too, Fu Ming quickly stopped joking.
"Dad, it's true. Remember I went to the little store and bought a scale? We just weighed it, and it's almost 2,000 kilograms.
And the fish baskets we brought on board are almost gone! The cold storage is almost full too!"
The cold storage was not full yet thanks to Chen Balian. Fu Ming and Fu Dahai had already filled the cold storage before they had finished moving the fish. When Chen Balian heard this, he ran to the cold storage and started tidying it up, and managed to find more space for the remaining fish.
"Okay, okay, Old Chen is awesome. Let's see later. If the cold storage is full, we can distribute some of it to other ships and leave some space!"
Boss Fu laughed out loud. Oh, he now regretted not having recruited Chen Balian earlier.
"Brother Liang, how's your harvest?"
After Fu Ming finished speaking, Fu Wan did not forget Fu Liang.
“We have made good gains here. Although we haven’t had a margin call, there aren’t many vacancies either.
Uncle, Awan, this long sea voyage is truly worth it. I estimate that it won’t take more than seven days, and we’ll have to return in the next two days!”
Hearing the joy in Fu Liang's words, Fu Wan's eyes also turned into crescents.
"It's better to go back early. Everyone is exhausted tonight. Let's pack up our things. There's a deserted island not far away. Let's go to the side and rest."
This was also the reason why Boss Fu went to Fu Ming and the others before. Fu Wan saw the deserted island when she came.
Although it is not as big as Coconut Island and Bird's Nest Island, it is possible to moor the boat beside it to rest.
The main reason is that there is a bit of wind on the sea at night. If the boat is anchored at sea, not only will it be dangerous, but everyone will also not be able to sleep well.
Chen Balian and his men had no objection to this arrangement. If the harvest was not good, they would have to find someone else to drive the boat and keep dragging the net.
We are about to go bankrupt now, so it won’t hurt for everyone to take a break.
She was so tired that she couldn't even dream when she slept. When Fu Wan opened her eyes again, the sun had already risen.
She put on her clothes and walked out of the cabin. Boss Fu and the others had already woken up.
Fu Ming, Ye Lin and other male comrades were braver and took the lead in getting off the boat and going to the island.
Although you can cook on an induction cooker, food cooked with firewood always tastes better.
Fu Wan got off the boat and casually looked around. The ecology of the island was good. She walked around for a while and unexpectedly found traces of someone making a fire.
