The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Chapter 87 Selling Fish at the Dock

Lin Qingzhou called to Zhang Meng and the others to bring out the ice that had been prepared in advance.

Then, layer ice and fish, and arrange all the fish properly.

Wang Shunfeng carefully inspected the arrangement of each layer to ensure that the ice could fully cover the fish in order to maintain their freshness.

After the fish were stacked, Lin Qingzhou asked everyone to cover the fish hold.

Take proper sealing measures to minimize the loss of cold air.

The fishing boat then continued its journey towards Dan'er Island.

During the journey, the group spotted some seagulls circling low over the sea.

Lin Yuge's heart skipped a beat, and she reminded everyone, "Where there are seagulls, there may be schools of fish. Everyone, please keep an eye out."

As the boat approached the area where seagulls were circling, signs of large schools of fish were indeed seen on the sea surface.

"Quickly, set up the trawl net here!" Lin Yuge gave the order decisively.

The crew quickly lowered the trawl net again, eagerly awaiting another bountiful harvest.

The harvest after this operation was beyond imagination.

In addition to a large number of redfish, there are also some rare fish species and plump shrimp and crabs.

At this moment, a sea breeze blew in gusts, carrying the scent of the ocean, and the fishing boat swayed slightly in the waves.

Lin Yuge stepped forward and said to Lin Qingzhou, "Brother, the net's catch looks pretty good."

However, once we reach Dan'er Port, we'll have to sell these fish, otherwise they won't last until we get back.

Lin Qingzhou nodded, gazing at the distant sea.

He said thoughtfully, "Yes, you're right."

I'm just wondering how the fish market is in Dan'er Port. I hope we can get a good price.

Wang Shunfeng frowned and said worriedly:

"Young master, these fish are quite popular here."

I'm worried that if there are too many fish, the price will be driven down.

Lin Yuge remained silent for a moment.

He said, "No matter what, let's take good care of the fish and keep them fresh."

Once we reach Dan'er Port, we'll assess the situation and devise a solution.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the sky; night was gradually falling.

She instructed the group, "That's all for today. Let's find a place to anchor!"

Let's set off early tomorrow and try to catch the morning market at the port.

Everyone has worked hard. Get a good rest tonight and recharge your energy.

The crew immediately sprang into action, skillfully maneuvering the ship.

They dropped anchor in a relatively safe area of ​​the sea with calm currents.

After a busy day, everyone ate a quick meal.

They then returned to their resting places to prepare for the next day.

The next day, the "Rebirth" set sail early.

A thin layer of mist still lingered over the sea, and the rising sun appeared and disappeared in the mist.

It adds a touch of mystery to the entire sea surface.

The crew members were busy with high spirits.

The sails were billowing in the sea breeze, propelling the ship forward at high speed.

Lin Yuge stood at the bow of the boat, her gaze fixed intently on the sea ahead.

I felt both excited and a little nervous.

She knew that it was crucial to sell her catch at the morning market today.

As the ship gradually approached the port.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the outline of the port became clearer and clearer.

From a distance, Danube Port is already a bustling scene.

Ships of all sizes shuttle back and forth, and dockworkers are busy loading and unloading cargo.

Wang Shunfeng immediately gathered everyone together.

"Brothers, we're almost at Dan'er Port. Let's get the ship ready to unload."

Afterwards, he instructed Old Li, his partner of many years:

"Old Li, haven't you been here a few times before?"

"In a little while, take a few people ashore to inquire about today's fish market and see what the prices are like."

Old Li nodded and replied, "Alright, Boss Wang, I'll go prepare right away."

Others also took action.

Organize the fishing nets and clean the deck.

Others were inspecting the ship's equipment to make sure everything was ready.

After the fishing boat docked, Lao Li and a few of his partners disembarked first and went to the fish market to check the prices of fish.

The others remained on the ship to wait.

A short while later, the group returned, their faces showing a hint of excitement.

Before anyone could ask.

Old Li, panting, said excitedly:

"Hey boss, Brother Wang, the fish market is doing pretty well today. Prices are much higher than when I came before."

Moreover, the price of red fish is especially high here.

"That's great, Uncle Wang. Quickly get everyone to unload the fish from the boat, and let's go and sound out what those fishmongers have to say."

Wang Shunfeng immediately replied, "Alright! Everyone, give it your all!"

Everyone sprang into action, shouting as they unloaded baskets of fish from the boat.

Lin Yuge also led Qianxia and Heiniu off the boat.

Some fishmongers and merchants had noticed the arrival of the "Rebirth" early on.

When they saw them unloading fish from the boat, they gathered around.

When they saw that there was ice underneath the fish, a gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd.

"Hey, look! What's that shiny thing? It looks like snow in winter!"

An older fishmonger stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"This is ice! I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen ice used to preserve fish on Dan'er Island before!"

An elderly man beside him stroked his beard, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"Yes! That's really strange. I wonder where this ice came from?" someone asked curiously.

Everyone crowded forward, their eyes fixed on the ice and the fish.

The news quickly spread throughout the docks, and more and more people came to watch.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe came running over, panting.

"Where? Where are those fish with ice on them?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.

The crowd automatically made way for the man, who then came forward.

Seeing the fish surrounded by ice, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He circled the dozen or so baskets of fish several times, observing them carefully.

"This is truly strange; to find ice in such a hot place."

"These fish look especially fresh because of the ice," the man murmured to himself.

Then he turned around and asked, "Which one of you is the boss? I'll take all these fish."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that adding ice to the fish would have this benefit.

Lin Yuge stepped out from the crowd.

She bowed and said, "Sir, my daughter is the owner of the fish on this boat."

The man was puzzled as to why it was a little girl.

But she still nodded slightly and said, "Very well, young lady, please name your price."

At this point, someone nearby objected.

"Third Master Qian, you can't do this! Everyone's waiting to buy fish!"

"You want to take everything right off the bat? What are we supposed to do?" an old man in red shouted.

"Yes! In this weather, it's not easy to find such fresh fish. Especially since it's still iced!"

My restaurant needs fish like this to attract customers.

A chubby man who looked like the restaurant owner also spoke urgently.

Master Qian's face darkened.

"Hmph, I offered a high price, so it should naturally be mine."

The crowd protested, and the scene became chaotic.

Lin Yuge felt flustered; she hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.

After calming himself down, he said:

"Please don't argue, everyone. Although my daughter doesn't have many fish on this boat, I don't want to disappoint you."

How about this, we'll have a fair bidding process, and the highest bidder gets a portion of the fish.

How about we distribute the rest among everyone?
