The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Yuge found Wang Shunfeng and asked, "Uncle Wang, have all the supplies been replenished?"

Wang Shunfeng replied respectfully:

"Don't worry, boss, everything has been replenished according to the list."

Food and fresh water were plentiful, and materials for ship repair were also readily available.

"Let's get ready to set off after lunch! It's still quite a distance to Jiaozhi Ocean, so we need to hurry."

Lin Yuge said seriously.

Wang Shunfeng nodded and turned to inform the crew to prepare.

After lunch, the "Rebirth" set sail again.

From then on, aside from occasional resupply.

They did not linger.

We passed through Qionghai and headed south.

As the ship continued to sail, the color of the seawater gradually deepened.

Occasionally, you can see flying fish leaping out of the water, as if they are putting on a show for everyone.

Finally, on that morning, the outlines of some blurry islands began to appear on the distant horizon.

Lin Yuge knew that it was a sign indicating the proximity to the Jiaozhi Ocean.

She quickly informed everyone, "The Jiaozhi Ocean is just ahead, everyone stay alert!"

The crew members heard Lin Yuge's shouts.

His eyes instantly lit up with excitement, sweeping away the fatigue of many days of sailing.

Everyone sprang into action, adjusting the sails, checking the fishing nets, and preparing the tools.

Lin Yuge stood at the bow of the boat, directing the course according to the wind and current.

Let the "Rebirth" steadily head towards the best fishing area in the Gulf of Tochi.

At this moment, there were even more flying fish on the sea surface, like guiding spirits, shuttling between the sides of the boat.

Occasionally, a few dolphins would leap out of the water, making joyful noises.

It appears to be celebrating its imminent arrival at its destination with the "Rebirth".

"Little sister, go that way!" Lin Qingzhou suddenly shouted excitedly.

Lin Yuge looked in the direction Lin Qingzhou pointed.

In a shimmering expanse, the seawater displayed an unusual azure hue, slightly different from its surroundings.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered, "Change course!"

At this moment, Wang Shunfeng also came to the bow of the boat and shouted, "Prepare the trawling net!"

The crew members sprang into action.

They skillfully manipulated the ropes, and the huge trawl net was lowered little by little.

The ship moved slowly forward, the trawl net in the sea resembling the gaping maw of a giant beast.

Soon after, there was movement in the net, and the boat seemed to pause slightly as a result.

Excitement gleamed in everyone's eyes, and they operated the winch with even greater caution.

Wang Shunfeng hurriedly told the others to control the boat's speed.

Time passed slowly, and finally Lin Yuge ordered the nets to be pulled in.

Everyone worked together to turn the winch, but it was unclear whether there were too many fish in the net or if they had caught something big.

The winch was turning with great difficulty, and Zhang Meng and the others could be seen with veins bulging on their foreheads and sweat pouring down like rain.

The ship began to sway slightly due to this enormous resistance.

It was as if they were engaged in a battle of strength with their prey in the sea.

Lin Yuge quickly shouted, "Blackie, hurry and help!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Blackie had been itching to get started, and upon hearing this, she cheered and rushed to the winch.

She stood firmly, gripped one of the winch levers with both hands, and twisted it forcefully.

With a low shout, she actually pushed the winch a little.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng and his men, who were already struggling, were greatly encouraged.

With the addition of the black woman, the winch slowly started turning again.

The trawl net was gradually pulled up, and waves rippled across the sea.

As the net drew closer to the water's surface, everyone finally saw that inside was a giant grouper nearly two meters long.

"A giant grouper!" Lin Yuge exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing Lin Yuge's shout, the crowd did not know what a "dragon grouper" was.

But you could also sense the extraordinary nature of this fish from her excited expression.

The nearly two-meter-long giant grouper struggled violently in the net.

Each twist tightened the net rope, and the splashing water sprayed onto everyone like a downpour.

Lin Qingzhou shouted loudly:

"Everyone be careful, this fish is incredibly strong!"

The crew members gripped their tools tightly, preparing to deal with the ferocious creature.

Blackie's eyes widened, both excited and nervous; she had never seen such a huge and powerful fish.

Lin Yuge quickly gave instructions: "First, stabilize the net so it doesn't break free, then slowly pull it to the side of the boat."

Everyone became even more cautious and acted according to her instructions.

As the net drew closer to the ship's side, the grouper's bluish-brown scales shimmered with a mysterious luster in the sunlight.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, as if it were showing off to everyone.

It was quite a feat to finally pull the giant grouper to the side of the boat.

Lin Yuge was in a dilemma again; it wouldn't be easy to get such a big fish onto the boat.

Wang Shunfeng is indeed very experienced.

He took out a thick hemp rope and tied a clever slipknot.

Seizing the opportunity, it swiftly swung its arm around the giant grouper, successfully trapping its tail.

“Hurry up!”

Everyone quickly pulled together, and amidst shouts, the giant grouper was finally dragged onto the deck.

It kept jumping around on the deck, and no matter how hard everyone tried, they couldn't subdue it.

I didn't want to damage its integrity with a harpoon, since such a large fish is truly rare.

Seeing this, Blackie shouted and rushed forward.

Aiming at the giant grouper's head, he used all his strength to throw a powerful punch.

The punch, accompanied by a whooshing sound, landed precisely on the giant grouper's head.

The giant dragon staggered a few times after being hit so hard.

Finally, she stopped jumping around and passed out.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.

Zhang Meng patted Hei Niu on the shoulder and praised, "Well done, Hei Niu! Your strength is truly amazing."

"Now I believe you really can kill a bull with one punch!" Lin Yuge joked, looking like he'd struck gold.

Blackie scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Miss, I was just in a hurry and afraid it would hurt someone."

At this moment, everyone gathered around the unconscious fish, their eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.

"Little sister, do you recognize this fish?" Lin Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, recalling Lin Yuge's earlier exclamation of "dragon grouper".

Lin Yuge squatted down and pointed at the two-meter-long fish.

He introduced, "This is a giant grouper, the biggest of the grouper species."

"Look at its bluish-brown scales and the unique markings on its body."

"This kind of fish is not easy to catch. It is not only strong, but also very cunning. It usually hides near the reefs in the deep sea."

Everyone who heard this was amazed.

Li Er leaned forward and asked, "This fish must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Lin Yuge stood up and clapped her hands.

"Of course, grouper meat is delicious and a rare delicacy in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles."

The price wasn't low! We really hit the jackpot this time.

Wang Shunfeng thought for a moment and then slowly said:

"But this fish is so big, we have to preserve it carefully, lest it spoil before it even reaches the shore."

Lin Yuge nodded, "Uncle Wang is right, we have to take good care of them."

First, move it to a shady spot and cover it with a damp cloth. Water it with seawater every now and then to try and keep it healthy.

So everyone got busy again, treating the giant grouper as if it were a rare treasure.
