The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Although they didn't go any further, Lin Yuge had already learned about the general situation of Longtang Village.

The geographical location here is truly exceptional.

It is situated in a natural bay, shaped like a crescent moon.

On both sides are rolling green hills.

It provides a natural barrier for the fishing village, blocking the fierce winds and waves from the ocean.

The bay has clear, azure waters with excellent water quality.

The seabed is relatively flat, without too many reefs or strong currents, allowing fishing boats to enter and exit safely.

The water depth is also just right, making it a natural harbor.

Behind the fishing village, a river flows out of the mountains.

It not only provides drinking water for the villagers, but can also be used for irrigation.

Therefore, every household in the village has its own vegetable garden.

Golden sand beaches, a vast sea, and a large mangrove tidal flat.

In addition, there were the green mountains behind them that they hadn't had time to explore yet.

It's truly indescribable. Is God really going to make me retire here?

After a moment of excitement, Lin Yuge returned to reality.

The impassable roads have turned all of this into a form of self-amusement.

I can't live like this forever, relying on the weather for my livelihood, just like the villagers here!

I thought about it all the way, but I couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

Lin Yuge could only put the matter aside for the time being, since they still had to serve for another year.

This year, my family will be free labor, so we shouldn't make any big moves, or we might end up losing more than we gain.

Sort out the things you brought back.

Lin Yuge put the clams and scallops into a basin, added water, and let them purge the sand overnight.

I'm planning to make a seafood stew tomorrow.

She made a simple seaweed and egg drop soup with seaweed and wild duck eggs, and Xie Jingwan ate it all without leaving a single drop.

For the next two days, Lin Yuge did not go out except for the group activities every morning.

She locked herself in her room, took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone she had bought from town, and kept writing and drawing.

Xie Jingwan watched for a while but couldn't figure out what she was drawing, so she stopped paying attention to her.

On the morning of the third day, they were shucking oysters on the rocky beach.

Everyone listened to Lin Yuge say that a seasoning could be made from oysters, which tasted very fresh.

Their enthusiasm soared, and they all decided to collect more today to try it out.

At that moment, the shadows of several ships appeared on the distant horizon.

Someone shouted, "Look, isn't that the village boat coming back?"

Everyone turned around and, forgetting all about harvesting oysters, dropped their tools and ran towards the bay.

"It really is them. It seems that the fishing season has really arrived, and the fish in the sea will be easier to catch."

As the ship gradually came into focus, Lin Qingzhou could be seen waving his hands continuously from a distance.

She kept shouting, "Mother, little sister, we're back!"

Lin Yuge waved to him with a big smile.

Before long, the boat docked at the shore, and before it had even come to a complete stop, he jumped off the boat in a hurry.

He exclaimed excitedly, "It feels so good to have my feet on solid ground!"

"Little sister, let me tell you, there are so many fish in this sea. You didn't see it, the fish are swimming into the net like they're free!"

Lin Yuge said with a smile, "Brother, you've come at a good time. It's the fishing season, so the fish will naturally be easier to catch."

At this moment, Qiu Ming, who had just disembarked, said with a smile, "Miss Yuge is right, we've encountered a fish run."

"We've been blessed by God; this trip has been incredibly fruitful."

He then pointed to the three ships and said, "Look at the draft of these ships. We owe a lot to Brother Lin this time. Otherwise, we might not have been able to go so smoothly, and we might have even lost one of our ships."

The others panicked when they heard this.

Cai Jinhua quickly asked, "Husband, what happened? Are you all alright?"

"It's nothing. It was Brother Lin who noticed that the ship's hold was leaking. Otherwise, the ship would have sunk by the time we loaded all these fish onto it."

The people on that ship all looked relieved.

"Yes, we really have to thank Brother Lin this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Lin Fanghai quickly waved his hand: "It's all thanks to everyone's hard work. I just happened to discover it."

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Ming quickly instructed, "Alright, hurry up and sort the fish out."

"The fish are of good quality this time. Let's transport them to the Greater Bay Port and try our luck."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Baskets of fish were carried off the boat, sorted, and then carried back on.

With the efforts of the entire village, the fish were neatly arranged in fish baskets and loaded onto the boat in no time.

At this point, most of the people on the boat disembarked, while a few eloquent villagers boarded.

Upon hearing that they were going to Da Wan Port, Lin Yuge hurriedly asked, "Uncle Qiu, can I come along and have a look?"

Qiu Ming thought of the fish that the mother and daughter had helped sell last time, and thought that maybe they could help this time as well.

He nodded in agreement.

Xie Jingwan didn't try to dissuade her further and slipped a few taels of silver into her arms.

He instructed her, "Daughter, stay close to your father once we're ashore, and don't wander off."

Lin Yuge nodded, "I know, Mother, I'll bring you gifts when I come back."

She turned around and happily boarded the boat, standing beside her father.

The fishing boats sailed out of the bay and slowly moved along the continental shelf.

After passing the mangrove forest, a bright and open view suddenly appeared before us.

A vast, boundless blue ocean unfolds before your eyes, with gentle waves shimmering with silver light.

In the distance, several small islands, appearing and disappearing in the distance, lie quietly on the sea like pearls.

White seabirds occasionally swoop across the sea, catching small fish and shrimp.

"How beautiful!" Lin Yuge exclaimed as she stood on the fishing boat, feeling the sea breeze blowing in her face.

Lin Fanghai stood aside and smiled, then shared his feelings.

"Girl, you think everything is beautiful when you first get on the ship, but you won't say that after you've been at sea for a day."

"Dad, you haven't gotten used to it yet. Once you go out to sea a few more times, your feelings will be completely different."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but hum a tune:

"The blue sea is my home."

The waves surge with the painting of dreams.

......"

The clear and melodious singing drifted across the sea, and everyone on the boat wore warm smiles.

As they swayed gently to the rhythm, they reminisced about the days they struggled on the high seas.

As the ship moved forward, other fishing boats and merchant ships could gradually be seen navigating the sea.

Everyone perked up.

Gradually, the bay entrance came into view.

Looking into the distance, the harbor is filled with masts, and ships of all sizes shuttle back and forth.

As the fishing boats approached the harbor, a cacophony of sounds could be heard.

There were shouts from the crew, the noise of cargo handling, and the dull thuds of ships colliding with each other.

Upon arriving here, the villagers became even more uneasy.

Someone muttered to themselves, "With such a big place, can we even sell our fish?"

Suppressing his unease, Qiu Ming forced himself to remain calm and said, "Don't be afraid, our fish this time are of good quality and fresh, they're sure to sell well!"
