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

Chapter 312 Longline Fishing

It was unforgettable, how could it not be unforgettable? However, Ye Zhenxing was not angry at all. Instead, he shouted loudly with excitement.

"Wow, this is fun! Is this a killer whale? The killer whale is splashing water at me!"

The ten-year-old child didn't act mature as usual and was dancing happily on the spot.

The happy mood also infected the other children, and for a while several children were jumping and dancing.

On the contrary, Boss Fu frowned as he watched the group of killer whales getting closer and closer.

"Awan, these killer whales are too close. I'm afraid they'll get caught in the trawl net."

Forget about the little killer whale. This kid is very smart. When playing with Fu Wan, he also knew how to avoid the trawl nets and longline lines.

But the other killer whales are huge, not as flexible or smart, and because the baby killer whale is here, they are getting closer and closer.

Boss Fu could only try his best to drive the boat away from them.

But this trick was not very effective, because he had managed to get away from it, but the killer whale could catch up with him in the blink of an eye.

The tow rope of the trawler was hidden in the sea water. Boss Fu had long regarded these killer whales as his own, so he had to remind Fu Wan.

After all, these killer whales only listen to Fu Wan.

Hearing what Boss Fu said, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel annoyed. She was busy rescuing the white humpback whale and forgot that the ship was still trawling.

She hurriedly blew the whistle again and waved to signal the killer whale to leave.

"You guys go ahead. I won't play with you today. I still have to go fishing!"

"Come on, we'll play next time!"

As soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, the cry of the killer whale was immediately rang out.

"嘤嘤!"

It seemed as if he was responding to Fu Wan's words.

This sound was still in the tone of a child's coquettish voice. The sound it made the next second was different from Fu Wan's cry. It was not only low, but also had a bit of deterrence.

The killer whales that wanted to continue playing around with the baby killer whale started to swim away after hearing the baby killer whale's cry.

"Wow, they really can understand what Auntie says!"

Ye Zhenxing was completely shocked. When he heard Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu talk about this before, he thought they were bragging. He didn't expect that today he would actually witness the interaction between Fu Wan and the killer whale with his own eyes.

"I've already told you, we're not lying!"

Fu Ling raised her head proudly, as if to say, "My mother is really awesome." Unfortunately, because she was so small, this look seemed very cute to Fu Wan and the others.

The group of killer whales moved farther and farther away and soon disappeared from Fu Wan and the others' sight.

The two humpback whales, one large and one small, that appeared earlier disappeared at some point.

"It's almost time, let's reel in the longline!"

After the fun, even if everyone is still not satisfied, they have to get down to business.

It has been over an hour since the longline was cast, so it is time to reel it in.

The trawling had to continue, so Boss Fu increased the speed of the boat and prepared to circle the waters near Yanwo Island.

Fu Wan pushed the children aside and said, "You all go play over there. We have to collect the fishing lines."

Their boat is not very big, and if these children are in the middle and step on a fish hook or something without paying attention, they can easily get hurt.

When Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu heard Fu Wan's words, they immediately pulled Ye Xiaofeng to the side.

"Xiao Feng, let's go play by the cabin."

Ye Xiaofeng was a little reluctant, as she wanted to see the fish the adults had caught. Fu Ling's eyes rolled around twice, and he leaned over to Ye Xiaofeng's ear and whispered for a long time.

No idea what they said, but Ye Xiaofeng happily followed Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu to the cabin.

But Ye Zhenxing was unable to speak. His seasickness had long since subsided. Seeing Fu Wan and the others wearing gloves and holding fish baskets, he felt itching to try.

"Dad, can I pull the fishing line too?"

Ye Lin glared at him angrily, "You're not even as tall as the boat, and you're still pulling the fishing line!"

When the fishing line is pulled up, if there is a big fish underneath, the pulling force will make the fishing line sharper than a knife.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have worn several layers of work gloves.

"I'm nowhere near as tall as a boat!"

Ye Zhenxing was a little unconvinced, so he turned around and asked his dear aunt for help.

"Auntie, please let me pull one, I want to fish too!"

Fu Wan looked at him with a smile, "Want to go fishing?"

Ye Zhenxing nodded desperately, but Fu Wan's next words made him immediately dejected.

"No, this thread is really strong. Children's skin is tender. If it cuts me, how am I going to explain it to your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenxing's face immediately fell, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Fu Wan looked at his pitiful appearance and finally softened her heart.

"Why don't you go grab some gloves first, and then when we pull up the fish you can come over and help us out?"

The fish have been pulled up, what else is there to enjoy?

Although Ye Zhenxing said he was reluctant, he still obediently went to the side and found some gloves to put on.

There were many people working on the boat today, so Ye Xiaocui put two fish baskets in the middle, divided the people into two sides, and then started pulling the longline fishing line.

Fu Wan, Fu Ming and Fu Liang pulled the line on one side, while Ye Xiaocui, Jiang Chunlan and Ye Lin pulled the other side.

When longline fishing, you must first collect the floats that were previously released. This batch of floats are all newly made, and the material is the foam used to buy a TV a few days ago.

The one who hooked the float on Fu Wan's side was Fu Liang. He was taller than Fu Ming. He used a big iron hook to hook the float, and when he pulled it up, he could pull up the fishing line.

"There's fish!"

As soon as Fu Liang picked up the float, he felt its weight and his face suddenly became excited.

Fu Ming was rubbing his hands anxiously, "Hurry up, or the fish will run away!"

After hearing this, Ye Xiaocui, who was also waiting for Ye Lin to pick up the float, couldn't help but turn around and slap him on the back.

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about!"

The most taboo thing when working at sea is to say discouraging words.

After being hit, Fu Ming immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly spat several times.

"Goddess Mazu, please bless me and give me more fish. I just said that."

Fu Wan didn't even have time to watch her brother's performance because Fu Liang had already pulled up the fishing line.

"Awan, hurry up and use the scoop net!"

A fish appeared on the water surface, with the hook just barely hanging on the corner of its mouth, looking like it was about to fall off.

Fu Wan quickly reached out with her hand net and scooped the fish into the net just as it was about to break free from the hook.

"Oh, it's a peccary!"

Pepper snapper, also known locally as "jiaoqian," has a bluish-gray upper body and a yellowish-white belly. Its body is covered in irregular, ochre-colored dots, resembling scattered peppers. (Image of Pepper snapper online, please delete if infringed.) This fish has very rich, tender flesh and is incredibly delicious. While not as expensive as grouper, it offers a very good value overall.

Fu Wan weighed the mullet they had just caught and estimated it to be at least three or four pounds.

“This pepper snapper is a really nice size!”

Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but sigh when she saw the fish still jumping around in the fish basket.

"Awan, I've caught a fish, hurry up and get the hand net!"

Fu Ming's excited voice also rang out.
