Chapter 248 Encounter with Dolphins
Chapter 248 Encounter with Dolphins
How could Fu Wan sell out her own brother? She could only laugh it off to satisfy Ye Xiaocui.
"Ah, maybe he's looking for any more mantis shrimp."
Ye Xiaocui frowned and shook her head, "Of course not. I've checked that place, and except for the small shrimps, we caught all the bigger ones."
Fu Wan quickly diverted her attention, "Mom, look at this coconut snail, is it okay to cut it like this?"
Ye Xiaocui's attention was successfully attracted, and she no longer paid attention to Fu Ming. "Okay, let's make some noodles for lunch, and add some mantis shrimp and fairy clams."
"Okay, then I have to eat more at noon today. I haven't had this fairy shell in years, and I miss the taste so much!"
"Okay, okay, I brought a lot of noodles today!"
Not only noodles, but even green leaves picked from the backyard.
Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui picked up a few hard-looking stones and piled them into a simple stove.
Then they placed a steel pot on top, poured clean fresh water into it, and lit the dry leaves and twigs with matches.
Fu Wan washed the fairy clams and mantis shrimps that were to be put into the noodles in the ditch nearby. It must be said that the fairy clams were really beautiful.
In the 1980s, the price of noodles was more expensive than white flour and rice. Fu Ming went out early this morning and bought two large bundles of noodles, and brought them out now.
After the water boiled, Fu Wan prepared to cook the mantis shrimp and fairy clams first. Since the fairy clams were not kept to spit out the sand, she planned to boil a few to see if the inside was clean.
After a few minutes of cooking, the fairy clams opened their mouths. Fu Wan picked up one with the chopsticks next to her and took a closer look. There was indeed no sand in it.
No sand is good!
At this time, Fu Ling smelled the scent and ran over. When he saw the shells that Fu Wan picked up, he also felt hungry.
"Mom, is this shell ripe?"
Fu Wan threw the fairy shell on the chopsticks into the pot and picked up another one.
"It should be cooked. Are you hungry?"
Fu Ling nodded heavily. Qin Mingzhu came over with Xiao Huang. She was hungry after playing for the whole morning.
"I'll give you a small bowl of shrimp and shellfish. Wait for it to cool down before you eat it."
The shells just taken out are very hot, and the mantis shrimps are even hotter. It burns your hand when you pull their tails off.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu are both children with very tender skin. If they get burned accidentally, it will be very painful.
The shells and mantis shrimps were cooked. Fu Wan looked at the bottom of the pot and found some sand. She simply poured out the water, washed the pot, and then added some fresh water to cook the noodles.
The noodles cooked quickly. Ye Xiaocui took the bowls and started to divide the noodles. Jiang Chunlan went to call Fu Liang and Fu Lao Da to eat.
"Brother, it's time to eat!"
Fu Ming heard Fu Wan's call and walked over in response.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Fu Ming shook his head and then nodded. Fu Wan was wondering, so he took out a few cat's eye snails from his pocket.
"I just picked up a few cat's eye snails."
"Cat's eye snails are good too. Maybe next time we'll have coconut snails."
Fu Wan comforted him, and the cat's eye snails in Fu Ming's hand were quite big. Fu Ming nodded with satisfaction, then put the cat's eye snails into the bucket, washed his hands, and prepared to turn his grief and anger into appetite.
"Oh my, you know what, eating noodles on the island tastes really good."
Jiang Chunlan sighed, and Fu Liang and Fu Ming beside her nodded in agreement while holding their bowls of noodles.
Isn’t this just like eating instant noodles on the train in later generations, it has a unique taste!
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were also eating noodles from their bowls. Xiao Huang next to them tilted his head and looked at the group of two-legged beasts who were eating.
"Is this guy hungry too?"
Fu Ming took a sip of the noodle soup and then met Xiao Huang's eyes.
When Fu Ling heard Fu Ming say this, she thought for a moment and asked Fu Wan, "Mom, can I give Xiao Huang some noodles?"
Fu Wan always respected her opinion. "Feed it one if you want, but Xiao Huang eats meat, not necessarily noodles."
But she was slapped in the face the next second. Xiao Huang, this weird bird, actually came over, picked up the noodles that Fu Ling put on the ground, and ate them up.
It actually eats noodles!
Fu Ming was peeling shrimps at the time, and he became interested and threw the shrimp shells in front of Xiao Huang.
Who knew that Xiao Huang would raise his eyes, glance over, walk over with his little paws, then turn around and point his tail at Fu Ming.
Then, in full view of everyone, Xiao Huang left a pile of poop for Fu Ming as a reward.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Fu Wan laughed so hard that she almost dropped the bowl. Fu Liang and Jiang Chunlan couldn't help it either. They grinned, held the bowls, and turned around silently.
As for Ye Xiaocui and his wife, they turned around speechlessly and pretended not to see it.
During lunch, Fu Ming and Fu Liang washed the steel pots and brought them onto the boat. Fu Wan brought half a bucket of sea water to cool down the stone stove that had just been lit.
After finishing these, she and Ye Xiaocui took Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu on board. As for Xiao Huang, he was also carried on board like an ancestor.
The people on the two boats were the same as when they came. When Boss Fu saw that everyone was on board, he shouted to Fu Liang and the others, then cranked the diesel engine, turned the rudder, and headed towards Swallow's Nest Island.
There was a slight breeze on the sea at this time. Fu Wan sat in the shade of the deck, enjoying the scenery on the sea in the breeze.
"Mom, look, there are so many big white birds!"
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were originally playing with Xiao Huang. When they heard the incessant chirping of birds on the sea, they lay down on the side of the boat and looked at the seabirds in the distance.
Xiao Huang saw a seabird circling not far away, flapped his wings a few times, but ultimately failed to fly.
Fu Wan heard Fu Ling's cry and looked in the direction she pointed.
Fu Ling only saw seabirds flying around in the sea, but she saw several dorsal fins appearing on the sea surface.
Could it be a baby killer whale?
Before Fu Wan had time to determine the origin of the dorsal fin, the next second, a figure rushed out of the water, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally rushed into the sea.
The water mist brought up by the sun created a fleeting rainbow.
That's a dolphin!
"Mom, there's a big fish!"
Fu Ling also saw the dolphin and jumped up and down excitedly.
"Swim, let's get it out!"
This can't be salvaged, Fu Wan was embarrassed. Ye Xiaocui heard the noise and came out of the cabin.
"Awan, there's a big fish? Do you want to set out a trawl?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "Mom, it's a dolphin!"
dolphin?!
Boss Fu also saw the dolphins that had just jumped out of the water. No wonder there were so many seabirds over there. He was probably thinking that the dolphins were hunting.
He reduced the horsepower, slowed the boat down, and slowly headed towards the place where there were the most seabirds.
Places where there are many seabirds mean there are many fish in the sea, and there may even be schools of fish.
"Awan, watch for the right moment and lower the trawl net."
"okay!"
After Fu Wan answered Boss Fu's words, she was about to go with Ye Xiaocui to untie the trawl net, but she didn't expect that there was a big commotion on the sea the next second.
There were about a dozen dolphins jumping out of the sea and then rushing back into the sea.
The spectacular scene stunned everyone.
