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

Chapter 785 Flower-bellied Mackerel

"Oh, I'm going!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind, Fu Ming was startled, and Fu Wan also subconsciously moved to the side. A burst of water vapor blew in their faces. Is it raining?

Fu Wan looked up and found that there were two fish in front of her.

"Oh my god, where did this fish come from?"

"Haha, they jumped out of the water. So many fish, so many fish!"

Fu Ming was so happy that he didn't even have time to pick up the fish on the deck. He just threw the hand-cast net out with all his strength.

Fu Wan picked up the fish that was still jumping at her feet. Wow, no wonder she jumped onto the boat. It turned out to be a flower fairy.

Flower fairy, also known as flower belly mackerel, belongs to the mackerel family and is a phototactic fish that is very sensitive to light.

This fish is somewhat similar to the swordfish. Its entire body is spindle-shaped, but it is not as long as the swordfish. The largest one is only a little over 40 centimeters.

Flower Fairy is what the locals call it because the belly of this fish is covered with gray-black spots the size of sesame seeds. In addition, there are particularly obvious dark blue patterns on the back of the Flower Fairy.

Although it has the title of flower fairy, it does not have particularly bright and eye-catching colors. The flowers come from the many patterns on its body, and the fairy is also the abbreviation of mackerel in the local dialect.

This kind of fish usually lives in schools and mainly feeds on small fish and shrimps. As a phototactic fish, it may be because the lights were turned on when sorting fish on the ship "Returning with a Full Load" that these fish jumped onto the boat desperately.

Su Ran and Su Jianshe had never seen such a scene before. After quickly taking two pictures, they rolled up their sleeves and joined the team holding hands to throw the net.

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Fu Wan couldn't sit still any longer, so she simply stood up and walked to the side of the boat to watch the fun.

All the hand nets on the boat were thrown out. Fu Qing was smart and placed two empty fish baskets next to each person pulling the trawler.

Fu Ming and Ye Lin finally pulled up a net. Looking at the mackerel that were at least 20 centimeters long, Fu Ming immediately laughed.

"Haha, this is so exciting! I haven't encountered such a large school of fish in a long time!"

"Awan, you don't know. I didn't even look for fish. As soon as I threw the hand net out, I knew it was going to burst!"

"Is it true that there are so many fish?"

"Really, it's true!"

Ye Lin nodded upon hearing this. Su Ran had never seen such a scene before. While pouring the fish, she looked at the full fish basket and asked Fu Wan and Fu Ming.

"Hey, there are so many fish, they should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Fu Wan smiled, then shook her head in Su Ran's expectation.

"The price of mackerel isn't that high, only 40 or 50 cents at most, but the fish tastes pretty good and can be braised or steamed. Most importantly, the fish is nutritious. Su Ran, take some home and stew it later!"

"Hey, good!"

Su Ran agreed immediately. This was the fish he had caught, and he must take it back for his family to try.

“It doesn’t matter if the unit price is low, it doesn’t matter if the weight is high.”

Su Ran comforted her, and Fu Wan nodded. It was exactly the same logic. It was estimated that this group of people could pull up at least five or six hundred kilograms.

Ye Lin was also happy. The fish was cheap, and his mother wouldn't nag him if he took it home to eat. Ever since he went out to sea with his family, there had never been a shortage of fish to eat.

Not only did the children in the family grow a lot fatter and taller, but the adults also looked much better.

Moreover, in the past six months, the family has not been sick. Li Chunhua accidentally discovered this a few days ago. After several people analyzed it, they thought it was because the family members had enough nutrition.

Everyone was busy, and Fu Wan didn't even take the flashlight, but looked directly at the sea.

Dabai hasn't left yet and is still hunting at sea. With such a big size, this guy must eat at least several thousand kilograms of fish in one meal.

I don't know how it found the school of fish, but it circled around a few times and now it was surrounded by seabirds and fish.

Without the barnacle parasites, Dabai looked visibly more energetic. After eating and drinking its fill, it closed its big mouth and began to sing.

The sea was already quiet. Apart from the sound of the fishing boat's engine and the noise of Fu Ming, Ye Lin and others busy pulling hands and throwing the net, there was no other sound.

So when Su Ran heard the gurgling sound, she was very confused.

"Listen, what's that sound?!"

"Oh, it's the humpback whale singing."

"What, humpback whales can sing?!"

Su Ran was shocked, surprised and a little regretful.

Hey, she brought a camera, which can only take pictures but not record sound. Otherwise, if she recorded the sound, wouldn’t the TV and radio station viewers go crazy?!

Su Jianshe also stopped what he was doing and listened for a while, then lowered his head and asked Ye Lin and others who were busy pulling fish off the fishing net:

"When you fish at sea, do you often hear whales singing?"

Ye Lin laughed out loud. "How is that possible? Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of this. We've encountered killer whales more often in the past, and this white humpback whale is only the second time I've seen one."

"Why, are white humpback whales rarer?"

Su Ran interrupted. There was nothing she could do, as she really didn't know much about these fish.

This question really stumped Ye Lin, but it was Fu Erlu next to him who spoke up.

"Humpback whales in the ocean are usually black, but this is the first time I've seen a white humpback whale.

Strangely enough, I've never heard anyone mention white humpback whales before!"

"What, only black?"

Su Ran keenly realized that this was very important news. She hurriedly turned to look at Fu Wan, but saw nothing.

There was no other way, she could only place her hopes on Fu Erlu and Fu Ming again.

"Comrades, please tell me, when was the first time you saw a white humpback whale? Do you know why it is white?"

"Oh, I know this. Awan told me..."

While busying himself, Fu Ming straightened his back and began to talk to Su Ran and his sister about the information he knew about the white humpback whale.

Fu Wan took the towel for drying her hair and put it in the cabin, then went to the cockpit for a walk.

"Awan, come here quickly."

Seeing Fu Wan appear, Boss Fu greeted her hurriedly. Seeing the seriousness on Boss Fu's face, Fu Wan also put away her smile.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"You have good eyesight, so quickly pick up the telescope and take a look. Is there a ship over there?"

Boss Fu pointed to the light in the distance, and Fu Wan picked up the telescope to take a look.

"It really is!"

After receiving Fu Wan's confirmation, Boss Fu hurriedly asked, "Is that boat operating or doing something else? Can you see it clearly?"

He was a little surprised. The seabirds were making quite a lot of noise. Normally, anyone could have noticed the school of fish there.

But he waited here for almost half an hour, and the ship didn't seem to move at all. Boss Fu was so scared that he thought it was an illusion.

Upon hearing this, Fu Wan took the telescope and took another look. The ship was quite far away from them and the magnification of the telescope was limited, so she could only see the general outline of the ship and could not see what the people on the ship were doing.

"Hey, that's not right, why is the light over there gone?!"
