The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Xie Jingwan finally softened.

With a helpless sigh, he said, "Alright, alright, but you must be careful and come back soon."

"If anything seems amiss, return to base immediately."

Lin Yuge jumped up excitedly.

He hugged his mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

The next day, the eastern sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Lin Yuge walked out of the room and saw Wen Jizhong practicing the Five Animal Frolics outside.

She went over and greeted him, "Good morning, Grandpa Wen!"

Wen Jizhong slowly withdrew his stance, glanced at her, and said, "Wait!"

He turned and walked back into the house.

A moment later, he handed Lin Yuge a small porcelain bottle.

He explained, "Poison. Take it for self-defense."

Lin Yuge asked him curiously, "Grandpa Wen, where did you get the poison?"

"I found it while collecting seafood."

Lin Yuge's eyes widened, and she almost threw the bottle in her hand.

"Grandpa Wen, you didn't use pufferfish to make poison, did you?"

Wen Jizhong gave her a strange look and said, "Yes, didn't you say it was poisonous?"

She was speechless.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he had encountered a medical eccentric.

It's amazing that tetrodotoxin could be extracted under these conditions, and yet nothing bad has happened.

After saying goodbye to the old man, I carefully wrapped the bottle and put it away.

She then went to the beach and checked the equipment on the boat.

They then steered their small boat away from the bay.

Before long, they arrived at an unfamiliar sea area.

Unlike others who fish by casting nets directly, they did not do so.

She first looked around.

There was no one on the sea at that moment.

She grabbed a small fishing net that had been prepared nearby, and with a leap, plunged straight into the sea.

The seawater instantly enveloped her, bringing a slight coolness.

She skillfully swam her body deeper into the water.

In the village, fishing boats are usually taken directly to the open sea.

It's also possible that a warm current passed by, bringing abundant food.

So there are still quite a lot of fish in this area right now.

Schools of sea bass, groupers of various colors and shapes, sea bream...

Lin Yuge was overjoyed. She hadn't expected that there would be such a rich variety of fish in this place that everyone had overlooked.

She didn't rush to cast the net; she planned to try scooping some more with the large net on the boat later.

As we continued swimming deeper into the sea, we found even more abundant resources there.

The vast coral reefs resemble a magnificent underwater garden, bursting with vibrant colors.

Red, pink, purple, and yellow corals are intertwined, each with a different shape.

Some are as upright as deer antlers, some are as wrinkled as a brain, and some are as round as mushrooms.

Countless small fish dart among the crevices of the coral reef.

Colorful tropical fish swim around the coral reef like stars.

Orange and white clownfish dart and frolic among the anemones.

Several red snapper swam past, and Lin Yuge suddenly cast her fishing net with agility and decisiveness.

The fishing net quickly spread out in the water, enveloping the red-spotted fish.

However, these red-spotted fish were extremely clever. They seemed to sense the approaching danger and quickly wiggled their bodies, trying to escape the range of the fishing net.

Lin Yuge was prepared. She skillfully controlled the direction of the fishing net, closely following the swimming trajectory of the red-spotted fish.

Finally, after some effort, she successfully caught several red snapper in her net.

A joyful smile appeared on Lin Yuge's face as she carefully pulled the fishing net closer to observe it closely.

These groupers each weigh about four pounds, and the largest one is estimated to weigh six pounds.

One tael of silver has been obtained.

Continuing forward, a strangely shaped protrusion suddenly appeared on the sand ahead.

Lin Yuge looked closely and saw that it was actually a giant plum blossom ginseng.

Wild ginseng like this was protected in my previous life.

It lay there quietly, its body shaped like a long cylinder, like a mysterious flower blooming on the seabed.

Its body is covered with fleshy spines of varying sizes, much like the bumps on the surface of a pineapple, hence the name "Pineapple Ginseng".

Carefully pick it up with both hands. Even if this ginseng isn't a meter long, it must be at least eighty!

Lin Yuge couldn't hold any more in her hands, so she decided to put it back on the boat first.

Back on the ship, the ginseng was carefully placed.

Then, the grouper from the small net were put into a wooden bucket, and some seawater was added to ensure they wouldn't die.

After a short rest, she took out the large net from the boat and cast it far into the distance.

The fishing nets spread out in the air, like a giant cloud slowly drifting down.

Lin Yuge stared intently at the spot where the fishing net had fallen.

The waiting time always felt long, and she kept adjusting the rope in her hands, feeling for any movement from the seabed.

Finally, feeling the time was right, she began to slowly close the net.

The rope tightened little by little in her hands, and she felt the weight of the fishing net, which made her both nervous and excited.

As the fishing net gradually surfaced, she saw the lively fish inside and a bright smile appeared on her face.

The fish in the net were emptied out; this net contained mostly sea bass and coral fish.

Carefully select the larger ones and put them into the fish hold.

She released the small, undeveloped fish, the ornamental fish, back into the sea.

There were also two large lobsters hooked in the net, which alone probably weighed seven or eight pounds.

After finishing, Lin Yuge struck while the iron was hot and cast another net.

This time, there were clearly more fish than the last net, and Lin Yuge struggled to pull the net onto the boat.

Upon opening it, I was overjoyed.

What came into view was a sea of ​​red.

Opening the net, one can see bright red fish, shimmering like rubies in the sunlight.

You should know that these redfin snapper were among the precious fish that Lu Ziheng told her about, and they were even considered to be used as tribute.

They then cast their nets in different locations.

Most of the fish caught were pomfret, mackerel, and small yellow croaker.

The last net also brought up a few swimming crabs.

There are probably quite a few swimming crabs down there.

Just thinking about how plump and delicious the crabs are at this time of year, with their abundant crab roe and crab fat, makes one's mouth water.

Lin Yuge picked up the fish basket and went back into the water, this time specifically targeting crabs.

In no time, they brought up a basket full of fish.

Fearing the crabs would crawl around, she could only keep the lid of the fish basket tightly closed.

It was clear that there wasn't much room left in the cabin.

The sun was already beginning to set, no wonder her stomach was growling with hunger.

I quickly ate a piece of flatbread that my mother had brought me and drank a few sips of water.

Once she had regained some strength, Lin Yuge prepared to return home.

When the fishing boat docked, Xie Jingwan was with several women from the village, preparing to dig for clams on the mudflats.

Upon seeing her daughter return, she immediately dropped everything and ran over.

The other aunties followed suit when they saw this.

As they approached the fishing boat, the crowd stared in astonishment at the sight of the boat laden with fish.

Xie Jingwan was a little incredulous, "Girl, did you catch this?"

Lin Yuge was puzzled when she heard this, not understanding why she asked such a question.

"Mother, who else could it be? I'm all alone here."
