The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuge was overjoyed.

He quickly replied, "Master, it would be wonderful if you could help us."

"I'm having trouble finding someone experienced to oversee the project. I plan to build this boat in our fishing village, but..."

She paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I haven't finished my preliminary preparations yet, and the wood hasn't dried."

"If the ship owner wants to observe, he will have to wait quite a while."

Master Zeng waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, as long as Miss Lin remembers to let me know so I can participate."

“Then it’s settled. I’ll let you know in advance when the ship starts being built,” Lin Yuge readily agreed.

Then she curiously inquired about the situation of the previous batch of warships.

The ship owner sighed, looking somewhat relieved.

"The inspection was just completed this morning, and Commander Xiao and his troops have already set off."

Upon learning that the warships had been successfully completed, Lin Yuge asked no further questions and then bid farewell to the shipowner, Zeng.

I found my mother and Aunt Cai on the street. They were squatting under a tree, haggling with the vegetable vendors.

"Mother, what did you buy?" Lin Yuge walked over and asked curiously.

When Xie Jingwan saw her daughter return, she quickly paid the bill, stood up, and pointed to the basket next to her.

"Honey, look, I bought a lot of groceries. We've been eating seafood all the time, it's time to change things up."

Lin Yuge took a closer look and saw that the basket contained lush green water spinach, plump radishes, tender green beans, and several round pumpkins.

She thought that they really couldn't just eat seafood, and nodded in agreement.

"Mom, these vegetables look so fresh."

"Yes! Your mother is very good at picking vegetables; the vegetables she buys are both fresh and cheap."

Aunt Cai is completely convinced of Xie Jingwan's abilities today.

She said directly, "Jingwan, I'll have to learn from you when I buy things in the future. You're really good at picking things out."

Xie Jingwan smiled slightly, "Sister Cai, there's no special trick to it. It's just about looking around, picking out more options, and being good at bargaining."

After seeing that the two had finished shopping, Lin Yuge said, "Mother, now that you're alright, let's get ready to go back."

"Okay, let's go."

The group returned to the village.

Xie Jingwan distributed the money to everyone, and each person received nearly one tael of silver.

Everyone was as happy as children.

One of the women, who was dark-skinned, thin, and had a weathered face, alternated between crying and laughing.

Lin Yuge and her mother looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing the two women's confusion, Aunt Wen sighed with heartache, "Jingniang has a tragic life. Three years ago, her husband went to sea and encountered a storm, and never came back."

"She left behind her two children and her elderly mother. Bao'er is only five years old now, and the whole family relies on Jingniang taking her ten-year-old daughter to go to the beach to make a living."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "To earn so much at once, they're probably crying tears of joy."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood.

They exchanged a glance, and Xie Jingwan sighed softly, "There are always unfortunate people everywhere. Let's help them out if we can in the future!"

"Got it, mother."

Lin Yuge thought of her own experience and felt a sense of empathy, so she nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone happily went home.

Lin Yuge returned home with her mother.

All the other seafood in the house has been eaten, leaving only some oysters.

She was too lazy to go fishing in the sea again, so she just wanted to have oyster omelets for dinner.

Thinking that the crab sauce I made a while ago should be ready to eat, I decided to use it to stir-fry some green beans.

She deftly scooped out a few spoonfuls of sand crab sauce from the jar, and its unique salty and fragrant aroma instantly filled the air.

Next, prepare the ingredients.

Xie Jingwan had already started a fire in the stove.

Lin Yuge poured a little oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, she added the prepared scallions, ginger and garlic and stir-fried them until fragrant.

Then, she poured the chopped green beans into the pot and quickly stir-fried them.

The green beans sizzled in the pot, and their color gradually became more vibrant green.

After stir-frying for a while, she added a few spoonfuls of sand crab sauce. The moment the sand crab sauce hit the pan, it immediately added a rich seafood flavor to the green beans.

Continue stirring constantly to coat the green beans evenly with the crab sauce.

When cooked to perfection, the green beans become fully cooked and flavorful. Then, serve them over a bowl.

Next, she began making oyster pancakes.

Wash the oyster meat that your mother has picked, and mix it with flour, eggs, chopped green onions, etc., to make a batter.

Then pour a little oil into the pan, pour the batter into the pan, and spread it into round pancakes.

The pancakes gradually took shape in the pan, emitting an enticing aroma.

Soon, the oyster pancakes and stir-fried green beans with sand crab sauce were ready, and she brought the dishes to the table.

Xie Jingwan took out two more eggs and made a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

The mother and daughter sat facing each other and began to enjoy this simple yet extraordinary dinner.

Seeing Xie Jingwan pick up a piece of green bean, Lin Yuge quickly asked, "Mother, how is it? How does it taste?"

Xie Jingwan said expressionlessly, "It's alright!"

He took a big bite of the oyster pancake and then drank some soup.

But the chopsticks never went to that plate of green beans again.

Lin Yuge understood now; this person couldn't accept the taste of the sand crab sauce.

Although she thought the dish was quite delicious, she didn't force her mother to eat it.

Just like eating durian in a past life, some people think it tastes good, while others think it tastes bad. That's normal!

Lin Yuge finished the plate of stir-fried sand crab and green beans by herself.

Xie Jingwan looked at him with a "how could you like eating this kind of thing?" expression as he finished cleaning up the dishes.

Then I went back to my room to sleep.

The next day, the village's fishing boats returned.

Lin Fanghai and Lin Qingzhou both beamed with joy, their eyes brimming with undisguised happiness.

As soon as he got home, Lin Qingzhou took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Xie Jingwan.

He said, "Mother, here, this is what we earned?"

The mother and daughter looked at him with suspicion.

Lin Qingzhou quickly explained, "Little sister, didn't I say last time that I'm really good at finding fish?"

"On this voyage, I led everyone to find a large school of fish, and the fishing boat had another bumper catch. The village chief then decided to give us two taels of silver."

Lin Yuge remembered that he seemed to have mentioned it before, but she hadn't paid attention to it.

He looked him up and down, and asked with some curiosity, "Brother, how do you find fish?"

Lin Qingzhou looked a little bewildered and scratched his head sheepishly, saying, "It's nothing! I just felt there were fish there, so I took everyone there."

"~!" Lin Yuge pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute it to luck.

Maybe the eldest brother really is a lucky charm!

Or maybe it's just that fools are lucky.

In the afternoon, she dragged her older brother to test it out.

Sure enough, it seems that my older brother has a strong sixth sense when it comes to finding fish.

He's like a radar, able to detect the presence of schools of fish in the sea.

Looking at his own boat, which was soon full of fish, Lin Yuge felt a pang of envy.

"This is truly a gift from God!"

For the next two weeks, whenever Lin Qingzhou didn't go to sea, Lin Yuge would pull him onto the boat and use him as a human radar.
