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

Chapter 549: Your Soup is Indispensable

Chen Balian's ship owner was a loyal customer of Wang Jianshe. When Wang Jianshe ran away, he lost nearly five or six thousand yuan.

I originally thought that the people in Fujia Village were also a group of people who were cheated, but after asking clearly, I found out that I was the biggest victim.

Wouldn't this be frustrating?

After all, it would be fine if everyone was cheated, but if only the people in their village were not cheated, wouldn’t that make the people in their village look stupid?

As a result, Mr. Fu, who was the best at shipping in Fujia Village, was also gossiped about behind his back by many people. Yesterday, when he arrived at the next village, he was recognized again, and the ship owner naturally heard about it.

So the unlucky Chen Balian was fired last night because he stepped onto the deck with his left foot first.

Labor laws are useless at times like this. Chen Balian couldn't sleep all night. After finally taking a few people to get their wages back, he still had to face the pain of unemployment.

Chen Balian is five years younger than Fu Lao, but his child is much younger than Fu Wan and the others.

There are three children, the oldest is only in his teens, and the youngest is about the same age as Fu Ling. There are elderly and young people in the family, and there are seven mouths to feed. No matter how embarrassed Chen Balian is, he can only bite the bullet and come to ask Boss Fu if he needs anyone.

Seeing Chen Balian's dejected look, Boss Fu was also furious.

"Come on, look at you, you don't look like a man at all!

If that short-sighted guy doesn't want you, just follow me. If I can't do it anymore, I still have my daughter and son. Don't worry, as long as we have a bite of meat to eat, you will definitely not miss a bite of soup!"

Hearing what Boss Fu said, Chen Balian was so moved that his eyes turned red.

"Big Brother, thank you very much.

You tell me when to go out to sea, I will come as soon as possible!"

He is different from Boss Fu. Boss Fu took a break for a while after being injured, but Chen Balian has been working as a boatman since he was a teenager.

He was young at that time and had learned diving by himself. He did not have the foresight of Boss Fu, so he gritted his teeth and bought a second-hand boat.

For so many years, he has been working for others on the ship. There is no other way. There are many people in the family and the pressure is great. The money he earns is only enough for the family to spend. After he finally saved some money, he was in debt again because of building a house.

This is how life is for many people. They are busy until they are in their fifties or sixties, and they can’t see the direction ahead. They just keep working hard.

Fu Wan had sharp ears, and Boss Fu and the others spoke in high voices, so even though she was in the kitchen, she could hear everything Boss Fu and Chen Balian said clearly.

She had heard about Chen Balian's abilities from Boss Fu yesterday. Boss Fu's original intention was to have Chen Balian and Fu Ming on the same ship, so that there would be an experienced person on board and he would feel more at ease.

Otherwise, Boss Fu would have to worry about everything, and he would be very tired.

Now she looked at Chen Balian, who looked like just an ordinary fisherman, and did not find him to be as experienced as Boss Fu said.

But you'll know about this kind of thing once you go out to sea.

After receiving the confirmation from Boss Fu, Chen Balian felt relieved.

Seeing many people coming in and out of the kitchen, he knew that Mr. Fu had guests.

"Then you guys are busy. I'll go back first. Brother, if you go out to sea in the next two days, remember to write me a message."

Boss Fu nodded in agreement, then pulled him aside and politely said, "It's almost time for lunch, why don't you stay for lunch?"

"No, no, my family is waiting too."

Chen Balian felt too embarrassed to do that and turned around to leave.

Fu Wan thought for a moment and picked up a piece of meat from the chopping board, estimating it to be about eight ounces.

"Uncle Chen, take this meat back and eat it."

"No, no, this won't do. You should keep it for yourselves."

Chen Balian refused to take it, turned around and walked out quickly.

Fu Wan stuffed the meat into Fu Lao Da's hands and said, "Dad, go give it to him!"

"Hey, okay!"

Boss Fu naturally couldn't bear to see his brother suffer. When he bought a boat, Chen Balian secretly lent him money without telling his parents.

After a while, she saw Boss Fu coming back empty-handed, and Fu Wan realized that the meat must have been given away.

"Awan, you're really smart. Giving away this meat will make me feel better."

Boss Fu shook his head and sighed. No matter what, Chen Balian was fired for his reasons.

Fu Wan smiled, took out the spices from the cabinet, and then remembered something.

"It's broken. I forgot to buy diesel when I went to the county town today!"

As they are out at sea for so many days, they naturally need to prepare a lot of diesel on board.

Hearing this, Boss Fu glanced at the clock in the main room and said, "It's okay. I'll go to town to buy it after dinner."

Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll go myself. I happen to have some deer antlers today. I'll take some to Uncle Feng."

After saying that, she felt sorry that she didn't leave Jiang Wanghai's address, otherwise she could have sent him something.

The velvet antlers Ye Jianguo brought back for her were slices cut by the old village doctor. It wasn't much, so she gave Feng Ji half a pound, telling him to make a soup later. (Image of velvet antler slices online, please delete if infringing.) Most of the ones at home are powdered. The old village doctor said this deer was quite old, so she thought she'd send some to Mr. Ning Sanye in Beijing later, as a token of her concern.

Thinking of this, Fu Wan prepared the spices for Fu Ming and went back to the house to pack the deer antlers.

There were Ye Xiaocui, Fu Ming, and Ye Lin who was trying to steal their skills in the kitchen. There was no room left.

As for Ye Jianguo and Boss Fu, they simply started chopping firewood in the yard.

Fu Wan found some brown paper to wrap two bags of deer antlers, and then wrapped two bags of rabbit and fish that had been dried at home a while ago.

She didn't have anything else, and those two old men might not accept anything too valuable.

As for the ambergris, Fu Wan kept it in a ventilated place, planning to sell it to Mr. Ning San in the capital after returning from her voyage.

She didn't dare send this thing. If someone found out and kept it, she would suffer a great loss.

Lunch consisted of braised pork and pork rib soup, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Not long after the meal, Fu Wan, Ye Lin and the other two rode their bikes to the county town.

When they arrived at the county town, there were not many people in the post office, and Fu Wan didn't have to wait in line for long before it was her turn.

"Comrade, please help me mail this package."

"Where to send it?"

"Capital."

When the staff of the postal group heard that it was Beijing, they checked the things inside. Seeing that there were no illegal items, they asked Fu Wan to fill in the address.

"Fu Wan? Is that Fu Wan from Fu Village?"

"Correct."

Fu Wan nodded, "Is there a package for me?"

She asked casually, and unexpectedly, the female comrade actually took out a thick envelope from the package next to her and gave it to her.

"There's a letter for you. We were supposed to deliver it these past two days, but now it's just the right time to give it to you."

Fu Wan couldn't wait to open the letter from the capital, and saw that it was indeed a photo sent by Qin Fu.

This guy was really generous. The photo was in color and clearly recorded the scene of the groundbreaking ceremony.

The ground was covered with bright red firecrackers. The workers wearing hats were in high spirits, and the land behind them was clean and empty.

"Commemoration of the construction ceremony of Xingfu Community."

Touching the red words on the photo, Fu Wan was so happy that she wanted to go out and share it with Fu Ming and others immediately.
