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

Chapter 538: A Great Harvest of Ground Trap

Seeing that the boat was getting closer and closer to the float, Boss Fu slowed down the speed. Fang Min and Ye Lin began to hook the float with hooks and slowly retrieve the bamboo tube traps and crab cages that had been thrown down.

Fu Wan asked Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu to sit in a sheltered place, and she and Ye Xiaocui dragged the remaining empty buckets and baskets over to prepare to receive the goods.

After the float was pulled up, there was a hemp rope underneath. Fu Wan picked it up and pulled it hard, and pulled up a ground trap.

"Are there any products?"

Boss Fu came over, and Fu Wan shook the things in the cage, "Yes, there seem to be a few eels!"

The eels in the sea are not the yellow eels in the pond. They can really bite people.

Upon hearing this, Boss Fu took the ground trap from Fu Wan's hand and said, "You go get the crab cage, I'll take care of the ground trap here."

He untied the hemp rope tied on it, pointed the opening into the bucket and shook it twice. Sure enough, there were two half-meter-long eels, one of which had a half-eaten sea fish in its mouth.

"White eel, not bad!"

Boss Fu used the stick next to him to pick up the eel that was trying to escape, and then immediately fished out another trap from the water.

"Ha, this trap has disturbed the eel's nest!"

Fu Wan turned her head and took a look when she heard that. This look gave her goosebumps.

Oh my god, it’s a naked eel!

Look at this thing, covered in leopard print, with its protruding mouth opening and closing, and its sharp teeth shining silver.

If someone bites this, there will be at least a piece of meat missing!

Boss Fu can control eels and other creatures in minutes. No matter how ferocious the fish is, he has a way to subdue it.

This type of eel is one of the more common eels, and it gets its name because it has no pectoral fins.

This thing can be found in both deep sea and shallow waters, and it has a very bad temper. It is particularly prone to hiding in shallow waters and launching indiscriminate attacks.

It is worth noting that there are a large number of species of naked eels. Some yellow-edged spotted eels contain certain toxins, while some, like the white-edged ones in Boss Fu's hands, do not have strong toxins and taste very good when braised.

While Boss Fu was busy with his traps, Fang Min and the others also caught quite a few bamboo tubes.

Fu Wan was curious about the harvest in the crab cage, so she grabbed the hemp rope of the crab cage and pulled it towards herself.

"Crabs, there are crabs!"

A cry of surprise was heard, and Fu Wan glanced over and saw that Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu had run over here without her noticing.

The fish harvesting here was in full swing, and the two children couldn't help but run over to watch the fun.

Fu Ling had the sharpest eyes. She saw the crabs inside Fu Wan's crab cage before she even fished it out.

"Hey, there are crabs!"

Not only crabs, but also a lot of crabs.

The cage that Fu Wan pulled up contained six or seven ferocious red-armored redfin breams, and two of its claws were still holding the remains of small fish and shrimps that Fu Wan had put in as bait.

Ye Xiaocui was busy digging out the octopus from the bamboo tube. Seeing that Fu Wan had a good catch in the crab cage, she hurriedly kicked the fish basket over to her.

"Awan, put the crabs in there!"

Fu Wan picked up the crab cage and poured it out. The crabs were all in a bad mood. After being poured into the fish basket, they raised their claws and looked like they were going to fight Fu Wan to the death.

They had already had an internal fight, and there were two medium-sized crabs, with only one large claw left.

There were quite a few crab traps, ground traps and bamboo tube traps placed there, but the people on the three boats did not rest. Everyone worked together and collected all the traps in the sea in just half an hour.

After Fu Wan finished her work, she began to count the harvest. They collected twenty dozen bamboo tube traps on their ship. Each dozen had ten octopuses, and two hundred bamboo tube traps were enough to fill two buckets of octopuses.

Ye Xiaocui also carefully distinguished the differences between long legs and short legs. The ones with long legs were all big guys who were trying desperately to climb out.

Looking at those long tentacles, Fu Wan couldn't imagine how fragrant they would be if they were stir-fried with chili peppers.

If this were grilled with the technology of modern barbecue stalls, until both sides were golden brown and then sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the taste would make you drool just thinking about it.

The two buckets of octopus weighed a total of about 100 pounds. Boss Fu collected 15 eels from the trap, a total of 20 eels of various sizes, all of which were kept alive in the live water tank.

In addition, there are many scallops and conchs in the ground trap, and even two hermit crabs as big as fists.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu took these two hermit crabs and kept them in a small basin.

As for the crab cages that Fu Wan, Fang Min and Ye Lin collected later, there were basically no empty ones. There were dozens of crab cages, and they collected two large baskets of red crabs, one basket of flower crabs, twenty to thirty kilograms of king crabs, and about ten kilograms of treasure crabs.

That’s not even including the harvest from the traps that Fu Ming and Fu Liang pulled back.

Because the cold storage was full, Boss Fu piled all the fish on the dock. Looking at the faint white light rising in the sky, he waved his hand and shouted.

"My account has been liquidated, let's go home!"

As soon as the news of a margin call came out, everyone’s faces were filled with joy of harvest.

Fu Ming and Fu Liang also heard Boss Fu's energetic words and immediately laughed out loud.

Fu Ming even responded at the top of his voice, "We've also blown up our positions!

It was really worth it to come out today!"

The adults had happy faces, and the children could naturally feel the joyful atmosphere the most.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were not afraid of the cold either, and they immediately started playing and laughing on the deck. Although they only slept until two or three o'clock, they were in better spirits than the adults.

"Woo-woof-woof!"

However, just when Boss Fu went to the cockpit to restart the boat, Fu Wan and others heard a noise coming from somewhere.

"Why does this sound like a dog barking?"

Fu Wan was a little surprised and thought that it was Wangcai who had followed her on the boat. However, she turned around at the stern and didn't find what was calling.

"It's probably some bird on the island. Never mind, let's pack up and get back to the dock!"

Ye Xiaocui also looked twice. It was still dark and she could not see anything except a dark shadow on the island.

Speaking of the birdsong on the island, Fu Wan suddenly remembered that it had been a while since she had visited the swiftlet's nest.

As the severe winter is approaching, I don’t know whether these swiftlets have left.

She was thinking that she would have to go back and discuss with Boss Fu to see if there was any bird's nest that could be harvested one day when the weather was good.

While I was thinking about this, the boat was slowly turning and heading towards the dock.

The sound of the engine was also rumbling. Fu Wan and the others had just put away the bamboo tubes when they heard the barking of dogs at the stern.

It’s really strange. We are so far away from Bird’s Nest Island, why are there still dogs barking?

She walked to the stern and followed the direction of the sound. When she lay down on the side of the boat and looked down, she suddenly met a pair of big black eyes!
