The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Xiao Yunqing smiled as he took the tea, and after taking a small bite, his usually cold and stern expression instantly changed.

His slightly tense lips unconsciously turned up, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if a light was shimmering within them.

It's clear he really likes it.

Then, Lin Yuge handed a bowl to Lu Ziheng and Lin Qingzhou respectively.

Lu Ziheng couldn't wait to take a big bite.

She gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Fantastic! Little Sister Lin, this ice cream is simply the perfect treat to beat the summer heat!"

Lin Qingzhou nodded as she ate, "Little sister, you have so many ideas. This is how you should eat fruit in this weather."

Lin Yuge was also very happy to see them eating so happily.

Turning my head, I saw Blackie staring longingly at the shaved ice on the table, swallowing hard.

She smiled and instructed, "Blackie, take the rest and distribute them to the others so everyone can have a taste."

“Yes, Miss!” Blackie replied happily.

After finishing their ice, the group discussed how they would split the profits from the ice-making business.

Finally, it was agreed that Xiao Yunqing would be responsible for most of the silver needed in the early stages.

He will take 50% of the profits.

Xiao Yunqing directly instructed Mo Nan to take out 10,000 taels of silver notes and hand them over to Lu Ziheng.

Lu Ziheng was responsible for the construction and operation management of the ice-making workshop, and received 30% of the profits.

Because Lin Yuge and his team provided the technology and also discovered the nitrate mine.

Xiao Yunqing decided to give 20% of the profits to the Lin family.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuge felt that her family's share of 20% was too much.

He hurriedly declined, saying, "Yunqing, Brother Lu, we can't be of much help either, and I really feel unworthy of this two percent of the profits."

Lin Ziheng interrupted her directly, "Little Sister Lin, what you said is not right."

"This technology and saltpeter are key to the ice-making business."

"Without you and Qingzhou, this business would have been difficult to get started. You deserve this 20% of the profits."

Xiao Yunqing frowned slightly and replied, "Yuge, please don't refuse."

"This 20% profit is a result of our careful consideration, and you deserve it."

Seeing that she still wanted to refuse, Xiao Yunqing stood up directly.

"Alright, it's decided then."

If my cousin encounters any further problems, I might need your help.

Seeing this, Lin Yuge had no choice but to agree.

With the matter resolved, the two prepared to take their leave.

At that moment, Lu Ziheng suddenly remembered something.

With a smile on his face, he said shamelessly, "Little Sister Lin, Qingzhou, your family should still have some saltpeter, right?"

"Could you spare some for me? I'd like to make some shaved ice desserts at Tingtao Tower to sell first."

Lin Yuge was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you really are an impatient person."

"I do have some saltpeter at home, I can share some with you."

But Brother Lu, remember, you can't just reveal the ice-making method to anyone.

This is our secret weapon.

Lu Ziheng patted his chest and assured her, "Little Sister Lin, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

I will definitely keep this a secret and won't let anyone else know.

Soon, Lin Qingzhou packed a lot of saltpeter for Lu Ziheng.

The two then left with their men.

In the following days, Wang Shunfeng began to conduct rigorous training for all crew members.

Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou also participated.

He divided the crew into different groups.

They will receive specialized training in navigation skills, ship operation, and emergency response.

Every morning, the crew members would do physical exercises under the guidance of Wang Shunfeng.

This is to ensure they have enough physical strength to cope with various situations at sea in the future.

In the morning, experienced veterans would impart their nautical knowledge to new crew members.

This includes how to identify wind direction, observe the weather, and use precision instruments such as a compass.

Wang Shunfeng personally supervised the process.

Ensure that every crew member studies and masters these key skills diligently.

In the afternoon, the crew members will gather on the deck for practical exercises in ship handling.

They practiced raising and lowering the sails and steering the ship repeatedly.

Strive for skillful and accurate movements.

Wang Shunfeng would observe carefully from the side and correct the crew's mistakes in a timely manner.

At the same time, Wang Shunfeng also organized several emergency drills.

The simulation involved the ship encountering emergencies such as storms, leaks, and fires.

To familiarize crew members with the response procedures and improve their emergency handling capabilities.

This is to ensure that everyone can react calmly and quickly when real danger occurs.

Sometimes, Lin Yuge would also use modern nautical knowledge to give everyone some popular science explanations.

The crowd listened to Lin Yuge recount novel and unfamiliar knowledge that they had never heard before.

They all stared wide-eyed, their expressions a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

Did you know that different sea areas have different ocean currents?

Like hidden rivers underwater, they carry boats in a specific direction.

If we can understand and make good use of these ocean currents, navigation will be much smoother, and we can save a lot of time and energy.

Lin Yuge spoke with great interest, constantly gesturing the direction of the ocean current with his hands.

The others looked at each other, not quite understanding the specific principles Lin Yuge was talking about.

Even Wang Shunfeng looked bewildered, but his admiration for her grew even stronger.

"Also, the stars in the sky are our good helpers at sea."

By observing the positions of specific constellations and stars, we can determine our location.

For example, Polaris is located almost directly above the North Pole of the planet.

Once we find it, we'll know where north is.

Lin Yuge pointed to the night sky and patiently explained to everyone.

Everyone looked up at the starry sky, trying to find the North Star that Lin Yuge had mentioned.

Lin Qingzhou had a sharp eye and found it quickly.

He excitedly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Little sister, I see it! I see that star!"

Some crew members are still searching.

He muttered to himself, "How do I find these stars? Miss Lin, could you tell me again?"

Lin Yuge smiled and then gave everyone a detailed explanation of some methods for finding the North Star.

There are other stars that can be used for navigation.

Over the next few days, whenever he had the chance, Lin Yuge would share his knowledge of navigation with everyone.

From how to predict weather changes to how to deal with various emergencies at sea.

Her explanations were always very helpful to the crew members.

And so, after about ten days of intense and fulfilling training.

The crew members' individual skills and teamwork abilities have improved significantly.

Lin Yuge and his crew were also ready for the "Rebirth" to set sail for fishing for the first time.

On this day, the "Rebirth" was moored on the shore.

Wang Shunfeng directed the group to fill the wooden buckets with fresh water.

They loaded some rice, flour, dry food, and vegetables and fruits that Lin Yuge had purchased from the village onto the boat.

Dong Xiaoya and Qian Shi were responsible for tidying up and organizing these things.

Wang Shunfeng then checked all the supplies again.

After confirming that everything was correct, he called out to everyone:

"The supplies are all in order. Brothers, double-check your assigned areas to make sure everything is perfect!"

The crew members responded enthusiastically and then carefully checked everything.
