Chapter 345: Treasure Hunt
Chapter 345: Treasure Hunt
The next morning, after Fu Wan packed up her things, she followed Boss Fu and others to the dock.
Naturally, we met many villagers on the way who were preparing to go to the fields to work.
"Gou Wa, we're going out to sea again today, and the weather isn't going to be sunny!"
A villager who was on good terms with Boss Fu kindly reminded him that "Qingwen" is a local expression, meaning that sunny days are unstable and the weather may change suddenly.
Hearing this, Boss Fu smiled and said hello, "Don't worry, it's nothing. I'm just sitting around doing nothing. I lost a few bamboo tubes at sea a few days ago, so I'll go check them out now."
"Oh my! You still put bamboo tubes during such a strong typhoon the day before yesterday? I'm sure they'll be blown away!"
The uncle's face was full of regret. He had recently made a lot of bamboo tubes and knew that this thing would require some manual work.
Boss Fu had a chuckle on his face. He thought that collecting the bamboo tube must be fake because he had to find an excuse to go out to sea.
The main reason is that he is now a prominent figure in Fujia Village, and many people are keeping an eye on their voyages.
So he had to find an excuse, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself when the time came.
Of course, they did not forget to bring trawl nets and hand nets. It would be strange for others to see them going out to sea without fishing.
At this time, no one would waste diesel to go for a ride on the sea after eating a lot.
The ones who went out to sea this time were Fu Liang, Fu Ming, Fu Lao Da and Fu Wan. Their diving suits were also hidden in the fish basket and brought on board.
As for Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui, they did not go out to sea for fishing today, so they simply waited at home with their children.
After getting on the boat, Boss Fu arranged for Fu Ming to drive the boat, while he, Fu Wan and Fu Liang opened the blueprint on the deck.
He first carefully studied the map drawn by Bai Qianzhou, "If we sail from the dock, based on our speed, we should be able to reach that sea area around ten o'clock.
I'll go down with you then, and Aliang and Aming will be waiting on the deck."
This was said to Fu Wan, who had no objection to this arrangement.
It was the first time that Fu Liang saw the blueprint, and he looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it.
"Uncle, I don't understand this picture either. If you feel uncomfortable in the sea, come up quickly and let me go down."
He originally wanted to go down with Fu Wan instead of Boss Fu, but he was afraid of being scolded.
Boss Fu nodded proudly. As an old fisherman, how could he not know what was said?
When he was diving in the sea, he didn't even know where these guys were.
The so-called sea divers are the general term used by the locals to refer to diving and fishing workers.
Because not everyone could afford to buy a boat in the past, most fishermen went out to sea to catch seafood directly or followed their employer's boat to fish.
And Boss Fu was originally one of them.
At that time, they didn't even have professional diving suits. They took off their shirts and wore torn pants underneath. As for shoes, they simply didn't wear them.
Then he dived directly to the bottom of the sea with a plastic trachea in his mouth.
And because people have buoyancy, when they dive to the bottom of the sea, they will tie a stone weighing five or six pounds around their waists, together with a hemp rope wrapped in cloth, and wrap it around their waists.
The hemp rope is used to make it easier for people on the boat to know the location where the fishermen have sneaked in. The cloth is used to wrap it because the hemp rope is easily worn and can easily hurt the skin.
If you bleed in the sea, not only will it be painful to soak in the sea water, but it may also attract large fish.
The main task of the sea diver is to catch conchs, sea cucumbers, lobsters, etc. on the seabed. Because these are difficult to catch with fishing nets, they need to dive to the bottom of the sea to catch them.
But this job is too tiring and extremely risky.
Because after diving into the seabed more than ten meters deep, not only will there be the risk of lack of oxygen, but also the various influences of sea water currents and mud under your feet.
Fishermen on the seabed need to keep moving upstream against the undercurrent so that they can clearly see the seafood hidden in the mud and sand on the seabed.
Not only that, sometimes in order to facilitate their work, they even have to walk forward on their knees and pick up seafood as they walk.
Catching seafood is difficult enough, and it is even more difficult to bring dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of seafood to the surface after catching them. If there is a mistake in any step, not only will the work be in vain, but there may even be a risk to one's life.
So after Boss Fu earned enough money to buy a boat, he didn't go diving or fishing for a long time.
However, after Fu Wan swallowed the fish pearl, she inherited Boss Fu's career when he was young.
However, Fu Wan had never known that Boss Fu had such a past before. Now, listening to her father talking about it, her heart was full of admiration.
Although fishermen make their living from the sea, this meal is not that delicious.
I'm afraid only the fishermen themselves know the hardships and sufferings involved.
Not to mention Fu Wan's inner feelings, Fu Liang's eyes were full of stars when he looked at Boss Fu.
I admire him! He is indeed his uncle. Even when he is so awesome, he is Fu Liang's only god!
"But although we're going out to sea this time mainly to look for treasures hidden on the seabed, we should also keep our eyes open. Maybe we can catch a lot of lobsters."
Seeing that the topic was taking a strange turn, Boss Fu quickly changed the subject.
Fu Wan took over the conversation, "Yes, I didn't bring those lobsters ashore last time, and I was so sad."
Fu Ming was driving the boat alone in the front. He heard the noise from behind but couldn't join in. He couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs:
"Dad, let's drag the net! Aren't we going to put out a drag net?"
He couldn't drive the boat without a trawler. Although he was looking for treasure, it was still a vague idea. What if the Japanese cheated him?
Seafood is still the best, it’s authentic!
Fu Wan also heard Fu Ming's voice. It had been more than half an hour since they left the dock, and it was time to trawle the net.
It would be a waste if you don't drag this net.
Although the sun was shining brightly when we went out to sea today, there were layers of white clouds in the sky, blocking out any sunlight.
"Dad, why don't we tow the internet bar first? Don't worry about whether the internet will crash or not, as long as we can get the gas money."
What he said was correct. This was what Boss Fu had planned before going out to sea, so without saying a word, he went to the side, picked up the trawl and prepared to push it into the sea.
Seeing this, Fu Liang hurried forward to help.
Fu Ming heard the movement on the deck and couldn't help but turn his head to look back. Seeing that the trawl had been set, he became more motivated to drive the boat.
Blow up the internet, blow up the internet, blow up the internet for me!
There is no one who goes overseas who doesn’t hope to have his network breached every now and then.
After pushing the trawl net down, Boss Fu took out the diving equipment from the clean fish basket.
He has never used this thing before and needs to study it carefully.
If he doesn't understand, he can ask Fu Wan to explain it to him.
As for Fu Wan herself, she would definitely still wear her own battle suit - the shark suit. After all, it was much more convenient than a diving suit.
