The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Qingzhou led his men to put all the shrimp and crabs into the fish hold.

Due to the continuous ice-making process, the temperature inside the fish hold was already very low.

Once the shrimp and crabs entered the hold, they seemed to quiet down and stopped baring their claws.

Lin Qingzhou carefully inspected the situation inside the cabin.

Make sure that every block of ice is placed properly, with no gaps that would allow heat to seep in.

At this time, Dong Xiaoya and Qian Shi had been busy all morning.

Fresh shrimp were made into shrimp cakes, and crab meat was used to cook a pot of crab meat porridge.

Everyone ate their breakfast, made with the fruits of their labor, with satisfaction, each bite filled with the joy of accomplishment.

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed across the island.

After the meal, everyone packed their things and set sail again.

Lin Yuge and Wang Shunfeng stood at the bow of the boat.

"Young master, are we fishing here again today?"

"Yes, there are lots of fish here. We've come all this way, so let's catch as many as we can."

The two discussed it.

We decided to stay in the Jiaozhi Ocean for another day today, and then begin our return voyage tomorrow.

The two considered whether to use trawling nets as needed along the way, depending on the fish population.

By the time we get home, the ship's hold should be almost full.

Then Wang Shunfeng stood on the deck, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

He shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's fight another day in the Gulf of Tochi!"

"There are plenty of fish here, so everyone should use their skills to catch as many as possible."

"We'll head back tomorrow, and hopefully we'll be able to fill the fish hold by then."

The crew members were filled with enthusiasm after hearing Wang Shunfeng's words.

Old Li shouted at the top of his lungs, "Captain, just you wait and see!"

The young men were also eager to try, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

The group quickly sprang into action.

Zhang Meng and his team inspected the trawl net, carefully checking for any damage.

Old Li and the others adjusted the sails to allow the boat to reach the fish population more quickly.

Lin Qingzhou climbed onto the observation deck, watching the sea warily and occasionally giving Lao Zheng directions.

With everyone working in perfect harmony, net after net of fish was quickly hauled up.

However, the catch here was unexpectedly plentiful, and everyone was very supportive.

After the last net of fish was caught that day, Lin Qingzhou came to find Lin Yuge.

He said with a serious expression:

"Little sister, this fish hold is almost full. There's no room to put any more ice."

Besides, some fish don't keep for long, so we need to get back quickly.

“That is indeed a problem; some of the fish probably can’t be brought back.” Lin Yuge nodded.

After a moment of contemplation, she continued:

"Brother, what do you think about us selling a batch of fish in Dan'er Port, and then filling the fish hold with fish on the way back?"

Lin Qingzhou's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. Our fish sold quite well in Dan'er Port last time."

This time, it's sure to fetch a good price again.

Wang Shunfeng considered from the side:

"In that case, we can't stay there for too long, otherwise it might delay our return trip."

Lin Yuge nodded and then said:

"Exactly, if all else fails, we'll travel day and night."

"Walking along the coastline, I think Lao Zheng and the others are quite familiar with this section of the road, so they shouldn't get lost."

Although Wang Shunfeng was somewhat worried, he thought of the route he had taken on the way here. He still replied:

"Then let's set off now and try to reach Dan'er Port as soon as possible."

After saying that, he went to arrange for everyone to prepare for the return journey.

Lin Qingzhou watched Wang Shunfeng's departing figure.

He said to Lin Yuge:

"Little sister, you need to rest well when you get back this time. Everyone is exhausted from this trip at sea."

Lin Yuge nodded, gazing into the distance.

"Yes, but as long as we can get a good price, it's all worth it."

I hope the journey goes smoothly and nothing unexpected happens.

For the next two days, the ship sailed smoothly toward Dan'er Port.

The crew members took turns resting, despite being exhausted.

But in order to get home as soon as possible and to sell fresher fish to increase profits.

No one complained.

Lin Qingzhou checked the fish hold from time to time to make sure the fish were in good condition.

Lin Yuge stood on the deck, keeping a close eye on the weather and the flight path.

Fortunately, the sea remained calm and nothing unexpected happened.

Finally, Dan'er Port came into view, and the familiar bustling scene cheered everyone up.

As soon as the boat docked, everyone carried the fish they had prepared to sell off the boat, basket by basket.

The commotion they caused a few days ago by selling chilled fish at the dock had not yet completely subsided.

The fishmongers saw the familiar silhouette of the "Rebirth".

They immediately surrounded them.

Some even went so far as to inform people they knew.

Due to time constraints, Lin Yuge did not allow bidding as she had done last time.

She quoted a reasonable price directly.

The price surprised the fishmongers at first, then they cheered.

Everyone knows that the fish on the "Rebirth" ship are of superior quality, and they are even served on ice.

This price is really a great deal.

Fishmongers sprang into action, scrambling to buy up the catch.

The three men, including Master Qian, who had bought fish last time, rushed over.

Snatching food from the jaws of numerous fishmongers.

The fact that a large portion of the catch was taken away aroused the anger of the crowd.

Having no other choice, Lin Yuge had several more baskets of fish brought down from the boat.

Only then did everyone give up.

"Miss Lin, do you still have more fish on your boat? Why don't you take them all out?" Master Qian asked, looking at the fish being carried down.

Lin Yuge shrugged and smiled helplessly:

"Third Master Qian, we still have to hurry back! We need to leave some things on the boat."

Master Qian stroked his beard and nodded, saying:

“Miss Lin is right; I was greedy.”

You've had a tough journey, but your fish has been on our minds for a while now."

Other fishmongers echoed this sentiment.

Lin Yuge responded with a smile:

"Thank you all for your kind words. We also rely on the sea for our livelihood, and we depend entirely on these fish to survive."

This trip was really rushed. Next time I return from the sea, I'll definitely bring back more good stuff for everyone.

After saying that, Lin Yuge instructed the crew to prepare fresh water and other supplies in preparation for their return voyage.

Master Qian, who was watching from the side, suddenly shouted:

"Miss Lin, wait a moment. I have some news for you. Be careful on your way back."

The seas have been rather turbulent lately; I've heard several groups of pirates have been operating in the area. You must be careful.

Lin Yuge's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She cupped her hands towards Master Qian and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Third Master Qian. We will be careful."

The crew members all looked solemn upon hearing this.

After preparations were completed, the "Rebirth" set sail again, heading towards home.

This time, however, the crew members were more wary.

Along the way, we encountered schools of fish.

The crew members, however, lacked their usual excitement.

Normally, this would be an excellent fishing opportunity, but now their minds are filled with Master Qian's warning that pirates are on the move.

Wang Shunfeng, considering the speed of the "Rebirth" ship, suggested:

"Young master, it would be such a waste to give up so many fish."

Our ship should be faster than the pirate ship. Everyone be careful and stay alert. There shouldn't be any problems.

Lin Yuge looked at the school of fish, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order.

"Grab some and leave, don't linger here."

The crew members sprang into action.
