The Crown Princess is busy fishing

The sun is about to shine over us.

Looking at the villagers, they were still standing there honestly, waiting for business to come to them.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Xie Jingwan stepped forward, pushed aside the burly man standing in front of the fish basket, and said, "You can't just stand there like that."

She stood in front of the fish basket, cleared her throat, and shouted loudly, "Fresh sea fish! Fresh sea fish caught this morning!"

Her voice was steady and loud, standing out in the noisy market.

Passersby were drawn to her shouts and stopped to watch.

Lin Yuge noticed that someone had noticed her stall.

He quickly and enthusiastically introduced the fish, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, look at our sea fish! Every single one is fresh and lively, with plump and delicious meat."

"Whether it's steamed, braised, or used in soup, the taste is top-notch."

"Moreover, we can clean and gut the fish for you for free. You can wash it and cook it directly when you get home."

After saying that, he took out the knife he had just bought and asked the villagers behind him to fetch a bucket of water from the river and put a plank on it.

It's just a simple control panel.

Several people had already come forward upon hearing the noise.

An elderly woman asked somewhat suspiciously, "If I buy fish, will you really clean it for me without charging extra?"

Xie Jingwan quickly replied with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry, we'll definitely kill them cleanly and won't charge you extra."

"Doing business is all about integrity, so you can rest assured."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction and began selecting fish.

A young woman nearby also came over.

"This fish looks really fresh, and the price is reasonable."

My child loves fish but dislikes the bones. Could you recommend some fish for me?

Lin Yuge enthusiastically introduced to her, "Madam, you can choose this kind of sea bass, and this pomfret. They have fewer bones, so children can eat them too."

The young woman was intrigued and selected a few fish.

Before long, the stall was surrounded by people.

Everyone was asking questions about the type of fish, how it was cooked, and its price.

Lin Yuge quickly assigned tasks to the villagers who were not busy.

Some people are in charge of weighing the fish, some are in charge of killing the fish, and some are just in charge of keeping accounts and collecting money.

The mother and daughter were responsible for greeting the guests.

Everyone was busy and having a great time.

While answering everyone's questions, she skillfully selected and butchered fish for customers.

As time went by, the number of fish in the basket dwindled.

The smiles on the villagers' faces grew brighter and brighter.

Before noon, all the baskets of fish were sold out.

Lin Yuge pursed her dry lips, smiled, and turned back to ask, "How is it? Uncle Wang, have you recorded the accounts clearly?"

Wang Youcai, who was in charge of collecting money and keeping accounts, had attended a private school for two years and knew quite a few characters.

He was currently frantically counting the money in the money box, and his smile never stopped.

After a while, the inventory was completed.

He grinned even wider, cleared his throat, and started testing his voice.

The villagers who had gathered around were displeased and urged, "Wang Youcai, what are you holding back for! Quickly give everyone a number."

Wang Youcai then abandoned his desire to show off.

He quickly replied, "We've sold all the fish we brought this time. A total of 423 catties were sold, and we received 2894 coins in cash."

The surrounding villagers were immediately in an uproar.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim, "They've all been sold, and for such a good price!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to Madam Lin and Miss Lin. Otherwise, we would have had to carry them back to feed the ducks."

"Who says otherwise? I never thought that fish that the fishmonger didn't even want could still sell for so much money."

“In the past, if we missed the big market, we had to feed all the leftover food to the ducks.”

Everyone was talking about it.

People would come over from time to time to thank the mother and daughter.

Xie Jingwan quickly waved her hand and said, "It's all thanks to everyone's hard work; we only offered ideas."

Cai Jinhua shook her head. "That's not how it works. It's not like we haven't sold them before. In a whole day, we're lucky if we can sell one basket, and that's only if we're practically giving it away."

"Yes, I really need to thank you both today."

By this time, the stall had been cleaned up.

After everyone else had bought their things, the group prepared to head home.

Seeing the large amount of stuff the mother and daughter had bought, the villagers who had free hands rushed to help carry the things.

In the end, the mother and daughter stood empty-handed to the side.

Xie Jingwan said somewhat awkwardly, "Then I'll have to trouble everyone!"

Cai Jinhua waved her hand, "You don't need to be so polite. You've helped the village so much, it's only right that they help carry the things!"

Everyone else smiled and nodded.

The group chatted and laughed all the way, and the atmosphere was much better than when they arrived.

Back in the village, he heard that all the fish had been sold and he had earned nearly three taels of silver.

Qiu Ming was full of surprise and hurriedly asked his wife what had happened.

Before Cai Jinhua could reply, everyone started talking at once, recounting what had happened that morning.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming was somewhat incredulous. "Really that easy to sell? Sold out in just one morning?"

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Cai Jinhua said angrily, "Husband, what do you doubt? Do you think someone's out of their mind would give you money?"

Qiu Ming finally calmed down and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Lin Yuge and said, "Thanks to you two so much today, I thank you on behalf of everyone."

After saying that, feeling that he wasn't being sincere, he continued, "Here's what we'll do: from now on, you won't have to serve all day. You can just go to the beach every morning, and you won't have to mend fishing nets in the afternoon."

Lin Yuge was overjoyed upon hearing this, and Xie Jingwan quickly added, "Then thank you, Village Chief. But won't this cause you any trouble?"

Qiu Ming waved his hand, "That's nothing. If the higher-ups come to investigate, I'll cover it up a bit. Besides, this is a run-down village of ours, I doubt anyone will come to investigate!"

"If anything happens in the future, I'll have to trouble you to give me some advice and guidance, and help these blockheads in the village," Qiu Ming said with a hint of exasperation.

"Yes, we should. We're all from the same hometown, so helping each other is the right thing to do."

Lin Yuge nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, the two prepared to go back, and the villagers helped carry their belongings to the door.

Some of the women even warmly invited the couple, saying, "Come visit us sometime!"

Hearing the noise, Lin Qingzhou rushed out of the house.

"Mother, little sister, why did you buy so much stuff? How did you carry it all back?"

Lin Yuge briefly recounted what had happened that day.

"~!" Lin Qingzhou was speechless.

He gave a thumbs-up and affirmed, "You guys are awesome. We still need the two of you to step up. Look, the workload is reduced by half."

Lin Yuge shattered his illusions.

"Brother, you and Dad might be going out to sea on a fishing boat tomorrow and won't be able to enjoy this kind of treatment."

Lin Qingzhou's face fell.

The thought of going to sea made me a little anxious.

"Little sister, tell me quickly, what should I be careful about when going out to sea? I'm feeling a little uneasy."

The couple standing nearby quickly put down their things and came over.

Xie Jingwan said with some concern, "Daughter, your father and the others have never been to sea before. I don't know if they can adapt."

Lin Yuge comforted her, "Mother, it's the fishing season now, the village boats should be able to catch fish in the nearshore waters."

"It only takes one or two days for a round trip, so don't worry too much."
