The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Chapter 58 Mysterious Object

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuge quickly climbed onto the boat.

Without taking a break, the two immediately set sail.

They steered their small boat towards the warm current.

As the boat moved forward, they could see more and more clearly the spectacular sight of the huge school of fish swimming in the warm current.

The school of fish shimmered like a surging, colorful torrent in the seawater.

The two were extremely excited.

They carefully adjusted the speed and direction of the boat, trying not to frighten the fish.

Then it's just a matter of repeatedly casting and hauling in the net.

As net after net of fish was hauled onto the boat, the two men beamed with joy.

The cabin was gradually filled with all kinds of fish.

Those lively, jumping fish seemed to be telling us that their efforts had not been in vain.

Looking at the full cargo hold, Lin Qingzhou exclaimed, "Little sister, we've been so lucky this time."

"If you hadn't discovered this warm current and the schools of fish, we don't know how much longer we would have had to search at sea."

"It's all thanks to my elder brother for finding this sea area. His intuition is always right."

Lin Yuge quickly turned the winch.

Lin Qingzhou's boat was already full, and he was currently helping her pull the fishing nets.

Another net full of fish.

However, as the fishing net was gradually pulled onto the boat, they discovered something strange in it.

It was a grayish-white, irregularly shaped object covered with seaweed.

The two exchanged a glance, their curiosity piqued.

Lin Qingzhou took the object out of the fishing net and removed the seaweed from it.

"Little sister, what is this? It looks a lot like a stone, but it's not as heavy as a stone."

Lin Yuge leaned closer to observe carefully, and suddenly she seemed to smell a peculiar odor.

It had a faint smell of the sea and a hint of milky fragrance emanating from it.

As you get closer, the peculiar smell becomes even clearer.

Lin Yuge's heart stirred.

The smell seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I'd smelled it before.

She squinted slightly, trying to search her memory.

Lin Qingzhou also noticed the smell.

She asked in confusion, "Little sister, what's this flavor? It's so unique."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuge's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, I remember now, this should be ambergris."

"Impossible, I smelled it at my cousin Qinghong's place before."

"He said it was a gift from the Second Prince, but it doesn't taste like this at all."

Lin Yuge frowned and leaned closer to the object to sniff it carefully.

I recalled the scent of ambergris I smelled on a ship in my past life.

She said firmly, "Brother, I'm sure this is ambergris."

"It's just that the quality might be different from what my cousin got, or maybe it's because it was just pulled out of the sea and the smell hasn't fully dissipated yet."

Lin Qingzhou was still skeptical.

"Little sister, this ambergris is extremely precious. If it really is this, then we have truly struck gold."

"But this matter must not be publicized, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble if we make a mistake."

Lin Yuge nodded.

"Brother is right. Let's put it away first and then find someone to confirm it when we get back to shore."

They carefully wrapped the object, which resembled ambergris, in cloth and placed it in a corner of the cabin.

"Little sister, if this really is ambergris, how heavy would it be?"

Lin Qingzhou couldn't help but stare at the cabin.

Lin Yuge shook her head slightly.

"I'm not sure either, but it's said that the weight of ambergris varies depending on its quality and size."

"This piece looks quite large. If it really is ambergris, it must be quite heavy."

Afterwards, the two composed themselves.

Before the fish tide receded, they caught two more nets of fish.

Until both ships were completely packed.

Only then did they set sail again, heading towards home.

Along the way, Lin Qingzhou ignored the cold wind blowing on his face.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Little sister, this is the most fish I've ever caught!"

"We've gone out to sea with the village so many times, and the three boats combined didn't catch as many fish as we did this time."

Lin Yuge nodded, somewhat reluctant to speak.

But seeing the expectant look in his eyes, he still braved the cold wind as he ate.

He responded, "This is the first time I've caught so many."

"But we were lucky this time, we encountered a fish swarm. It's very rare to encounter such a situation again."

After saying that, she wrapped the blanket around herself and didn't say another word.

Seeing that she had no intention of responding to him, Lin Qingzhou had no choice but to shut his mouth.

The two silently steered the boat toward the shore.

The sea breeze caressed their faces, carrying a slight chill, but it couldn't dampen their excitement and anticipation.

As the ship drew closer to the shore.

Lin Fanghai and Xie Jingwan were already there, eagerly waiting.

"Father~, Mother~"

Lin Yuge waved to the couple.

Lin Fanghai and Xie Jingwan smiled with delight, their eyes fixed on the boats that were gradually approaching the shore.

When the boat came to a steady stop, the two eagerly jumped off and ran towards their parents.

"Father, Mother, we've had a great harvest this time!" Lin Qingzhou said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the couple looked at the two boats.

"How can there be so many?" Xie Jingwan exclaimed in surprise.

"Mother, we're lucky. We found a warm current, and a fish swarm just happened to form there."

Lin Yuge smiled and explained the situation to the two of them.

As she spoke, she took out a mysterious object that was wrapped tightly in a corner and handed it to her mother.

He lowered his voice and reminded her, "Mom, please put this thing at home and keep it safe."

"What is this? It looks so mysterious." Xie Jingwan carefully took the package from her hands and asked curiously.

Lin Yuge shook his head.

"We're not sure either. We'll go back later and discuss it carefully to see if you know Dad."

Xie Jingwan nodded, "Don't worry, Mother will keep it safe."

He turned around and headed home.

Lin Fanghai's expression turned serious as he watched his wife and daughter's actions.

It's likely they've found something valuable.

Then he instructed, "Son, go find some young men. There are too many fish. We need to sort them out quickly."

Lin Qingzhou responded and hurriedly went to the village to find help.

Before long, he led Zhang Meng and the others to the side of the boat.

Seeing the two boats full of fish, the group was somewhat incredulous.

"Is this what you caught today?"

Zhang Meng stared wide-eyed; he wanted to go to sea again. What should he do?

Li Er felt he was about to get jealous.

It's already the twelfth lunar month, and we can still catch so many fish.

Lin Yuge quickly explained it to everyone again.

The group then calmed down.

Qiu Dalang exclaimed repeatedly, "You two siblings are incredibly lucky!"

"You guys actually managed to witness something that happens only once in a century."

Li Er, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with envy.

"That's right. If it were us, we wouldn't have such good luck."

Lin Qingzhou noticed that they were only focused on talking.

He quickly urged, "Alright, you've run into me, you're lucky."

"Hurry up, once we're done, take some fish home to share in the good fortune."

The group glanced at him, their eyes filled with disdain.

After giving him a piece of their mind, they started working enthusiastically.
