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

Chapter 1143 Jiang Wanghai Calls

Jack and his friends had been here for nearly half a month, but when Ye Xiaocui thinks back on it now, it only felt like a few days.

Fu Wan couldn't bear to see these people crying endlessly, so she simply asked Fu Ming to push the three of them into the car, and then drove away.

Although the distance between the two countries is not short, you can still call or send letters. If you really want to come, just wait until your visa is approved.

It would be so embarrassing if the neighbors saw you crying like this.

After seeing Jack and the other two off, Fu Wan went to the cannery and food factory for a stroll. She also took the photos of the sunken wood she had taken to have them developed, planning to send them to Feng Ji in a couple of days along with some local specialties.

Longhai City is not close to Beijing, and it takes at least half a month to send something.

Originally, Fu Wan wanted to ask Jack to bring the photos to her when he went to Beijing, but it would take two days to develop the photos. Fu Wan had no choice but to wait for the photos to be developed.

At this moment, she missed the smart phones of the future so much. With just one tap, she could send a message. No matter how far away, as long as the internet speed was good, she could receive it in the next second. It wouldn’t be so troublesome like now!

Unfortunately, it is just a thought. Now is still the era of mobile phones, and it will take another 10 to 20 years before Jobs' first smartphone comes out.

I had just returned home from the county town and before I even entered the yard, Fu Wan's cell phone rang again.

Fu Wan was wondering who it was, but when the call was connected, she unexpectedly heard Jiang Wanghai's voice.

"Uncle Jiang, why did you think of calling me? Is there any progress in sea cucumber farming?"

Without much politeness, Fu Wan asked straight to the point.

Jiang Wanghai was not surprised by Fu Wan's straightforwardness.

"Haha, Comrade Xiao Fu, there has indeed been some progress in sea cucumber farming. To be honest, after our observation and repeated research over this period of time, the white jade sea cucumber has been surviving safely in the research institute.

Next, we have to wait for their breeding season to arrive and see if new white jade sea cucumbers can be born."

If white jade sea cucumbers are born in the research institute's cultivation environment by then, it means that artificial breeding of white jade sea cucumbers is feasible to a certain extent, and the cultivation environment they have carefully adjusted and prepared has also met the conditions for the survival and reproduction of sea cucumbers.

This can lay a very important foundation for the future sea cucumber farming in China.

Although Jiang Wanghai only said a few brief words, Fu Wan knew clearly that behind this was the hard work of many researchers day and night.

Apart from anything else, it is very difficult to ensure that the living environment of sea cucumbers is always the same as that on the seabed.

"Uncle Jiang, thank you for your hard work!"

"Haha, it's not hard, it's not hard, everything is worth it if there is a result!"

Jiang Wanghai laughed heartily a few times, then said, "Comrade Xiaofu, I didn't call you today specifically to tell you about the progress of the sea cucumber. There's something else we have to do in a couple of days."

Fu Wan was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, and then immediately reacted.

"Uncle Jiang, are you saying...the seafood from the breeding base can be put on the market?"

"Haha, yes! It's almost October now. I went back a few days ago. The scallops in the pond should be almost ready, and the prawns we raised have also reached the size required for sale.

At that time, you guys were out at sea and hadn't come back yet, so I thought I'd tell you about this when you came back. But you're the owner of the aquaculture area, and you have to be present when the first batch of seafood is harvested!"

After Jiang Wanghai finished speaking, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh.

"That's for sure. Not only do I have to be there, I'm also going to invite a few people over!"

After that, she asked Jiang Wanghai about the approximate time when the catch was salvaged. Jiang Wanghai pondered for a moment and finally gave a time.

"Or maybe the day after tomorrow!"

"The institute won't be busy the day after tomorrow morning, so we can go over there together!"

Fu Wan agreed immediately, "Okay, then I'll pick you up at the station!"

After Jiang Wanghai hung up the phone, Fu Wan pushed open the door and entered the room. Ye Xiaocui and Fu Lao Da were fishing with shuttle nets. They had heard Fu Wan's voice just now and knew she was on the phone, so they didn't go out to disturb her.

Seeing Fu Wan smiling and in a good mood, Ye Xiaocui asked with a smile.

"What's going on? Did you find some money?"

"Hehe, I'm happier than finding money!"

Ye Xiaocui was a little confused when she heard this. She was still immersed in the reluctance to see Jack and the other two leave that day, and she hasn't fully recovered yet.

"What good news is there, Awan? Tell me quickly!"

"Mom and Dad, how about you guys guess?"

Fu Wan pursed her lips and smiled playfully, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense.

How could Ye Xiaocui guess? She picked up the shuttle, scratched her head, and then made a random guess.

"Did you get a good price for your catch from the other day?"

"It sells for a good price, but not this."

After Fu Wan finished speaking, she turned to look at Boss Fu.

"Dad, how about you guess?"

Boss Fu was also a little confused. He glanced behind him and asked in a low voice, like a thief: "Awan, is there any news about that thing?"

Fu Wan was amused by his cautious look and waved her hands, "No, it's not that fast. I just sent the photos to be developed today, and the people at the photo studio told me to pick them up the day after tomorrow. After I pick them up, I have to go to the post office to mail them. If we want to know the results, we have to wait at least half a month, Dad."

Boss Fu was a little disappointed when he heard this. To say what good news he was most looking forward to now was to confirm whether there was any sunken wood in the backyard and whether it was worth money.

"So what's the good news?"

"Hey, why don't you think about what other industries I have besides going out to sea to fish?"

Fu Wan gave a hint, and Ye Xiaocui suddenly understood.

"I see. Is it because the cannery and food factory are overwhelmed with orders again?"

Fu Wan spread her hands helplessly. The old lady had done her best and even used new words like "explosive orders".

"Oh, there's no tacit understanding at all. The fish from the aquaculture area are ready to be put on the market. Uncle Jiang and I agreed to fish them out the day after tomorrow!"

"What, farmed seafood?!"

Ye Xiaocui was so startled that the shuttle in her hand dropped to the ground with a clatter. Oh my God, she had been so busy during this period that she almost forgot that her family had contracted the sea area for seafood farming!

Fu Wan has been contracting the aquaculture area for more than half a year. Now it’s time to harvest?

"Awan, is it true that those fish have grown up?"

Boss Fu couldn't believe it. The last time he went to see them, the fish were only slightly bigger than his fingers. In just half a year, those fish would be ready for the market?

Seeing this, Fu Wan knew that Boss Fu had misunderstood. "They're not fish, they're prawns and red clams. Uncle Jiang said they're ready for market and can be harvested now!"

"If we hadn't been out to sea a while ago, he would have come to discuss this with me a long time ago!"
