Chapter 030 Princess, please step out
This sentence made Lin Wanxia a little defensive, and she couldn't say a word she had prepared. She took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the stains on his body, "Why would I not want you? If I didn't want you, why would I tell you, wouldn't I just throw you in the playground?"
Xingxing thought about it and sat back on the wooden chair, "That's right. What should I do if you go out to sea?"
Lin Wanxia spread her hands and threw the question to Xingxing, "So this is not a discussion with you?"
Xingxing: "..."
A little touched and a little angry.
Touched that Lin Wanxia respected his opinion so much, unlike his father, who would just entrust him to someone casually when something happened, regardless of whether he was willing or not. Angry that
Lin Wanxia also wanted to abandon her.
Her lips pouted, her legs swayed, "I don't want to discuss, I just want to follow you!"
Lin Wanxia: "..."
***
The night they decided to go out to sea, Lin Wanxia slept on the boat with Xingxing.
The fishing boat she bought was sixteen meters long, with a small cockpit and a small cold storage.
The so-called cold storage did not have a refrigeration function, but only added a layer of foam board and galvanized material, like the function of a thermos to keep hot water warm.
However, Lin Wanxia had modified it. She used the calcium nitrate ice-making method to make a thick layer of ice on the ground and around the room. She
also put a basin of ice in the cockpit and made a mini fan that used dry batteries. She put it next to the bed and blew the stars.
The ice-making method was learned from the heroine in the period novel. The heroine traveled to the early 1980s. There was no electricity and she couldn't afford an air conditioner. To cool down, she followed the saltpeter ice-making method she learned from palace fighting dramas and placed many nesting doll-style ice basins in the room.
Even where to get cheap saltpeter was clearly written, so Lin Wanxia was able to reap the benefits of the fishing net.
The biggest advantage of this method is that saltpeter can be reused.
Lin Wanxia also found ways to modify the power system of the fishing boat.
The power of the fishing boat is mainly composed of engines, steering gears and thrusters.
Lin Wanxia is a professional designer of this, but a good cook cannot cook without rice.
There is no money to buy accessories.
After a long time of hard work, the only thing she could do was to optimize the original power system.
After optimization, the speed of the fishing boat increased from the original 18 kilometers per hour to 20 kilometers per hour.
As for taking Xingxing with her, Lin Wanxia had also thought about it carefully.
The biggest reason why Jiang Sinian didn't take Xingxing with him was that he didn't want Xingxing to be in danger. After all, he was going to the high seas, and his opponents were either enemy ships or pirates.
However, Lin Wanxia's fishing boat can only go near the coast.
The boundary between near the coast and the distant sea is 200 nautical miles.
Within 200 nautical miles is near the coast, and more than 200 nautical miles is the distant sea.
200 nautical miles is 370 kilometers.
For a ship like Lin Wanxia, it would take at least ten hours to reach the distant sea at full speed.
Wouldn't her second-hand diesel engine be smoking? !
So Lin Wanxia only planned to operate within 100 nautical miles.
Fishing in the waters of one's own country is not a big safety issue. As long as there is no extreme weather, it is okay for Xingxing to follow.
After settling Xingxing down, Lin Wanxia sat in front of the rudder and closed her eyes.
"Princess, please show up!"
The little mermaid with her own halo appeared hopping, "I thought you were going to freeze me!"
She has been following Lin Wanxia for two months. Apart from signing in, she also collects some marine garbage to accumulate points.
Since Lin Wanxia was upgraded to a large yellow croaker, she has not used her points. Now she has 86 points, most of which are earned by signing in.
She spent a long time choosing and chose two common marine creatures near the coast. One is a hairtail, and the full-level hairtail requires 30 points.
For the other one, Lin Wanxia chose lobster.
It is not the spicy crayfish commonly seen in barbecue stalls, but a real sea lobster, the largest of which weighs ten kilograms.
However, the market for lobsters is not very good these days.
Just like most people prefer to buy pork belly when buying meat, people nowadays generally lack oil in their stomachs and prefer to eat fatty meat with high oil content.
Beef and mutton are at least twice as expensive as pork in the new century, but in the island city in 1983, they were only half the price of pork belly.
Seafood is not very popular with the people either, because fish and shrimp are considered to be a waste of oil in the eyes of the people.
Crabs and lobsters are even less popular with the people and are considered to be a waste of money. A few kilograms of them are not enough to fill your stomach.
Lin Wanxia chose lobsters purely to satisfy her own appetite.
After unlocking the control of these two seafoods, Lin Wanxia only had 26 points left.
Lin Wanxia used her golden finger to summon three kinds of seafood before Xingxing woke up.
To make it look realistic, she summoned yellow croaker, hairtail and lobster of different sizes. They
weighed about 500 to 600 kilograms.
She was weak and had to use pulleys and rockers to drag the net. After putting the three seafood into the cold storage, the sky gradually brightened.
Xingxing woke up rubbing her eyes, her eyes blank.
To describe it in Internet buzzwords, it is "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
Lin Wanxia filled an enamel cup with cooled boiled water and handed it to Xingxing, "Drink some water first. We are still on the boat. We will go back after catching another net of fish."
In front of Xingxing, Lin Wanxia did not dare to use the summoning skill again, so she could only cast the net twice very seriously.
One time the net was empty, and the other time it caught some kelp, seaweed and some fish and shrimp.
Lin Wanxia wiped the sweat from her forehead and closed her eyes.
She was a little sleepy and hungry after working all night.
The moment she closed her eyes, an inexplicable feeling flashed through her mind, as if there was an invisible map with densely packed coordinates on it, representing various seafood.
And the coordinates were moving, some dense and some sparse.
This navigation was invisible, and it was all based on - intuition.
It felt a little mysterious.
Lin Wanxia opened her eyes and looked at the calm sea level thoughtfully. After a while, she turned the boat and headed southeast.
The navigation told her that there were schools of fish over there.
When Lin Wanxia arrived, she cast the net without saying a word, dragged it up, moved forward quickly, and then collected the net.
When she pulled the fishing net up with the tow rod, Lin Wanxia was amazed.
The net was full of seafood of all sizes.
Among them was a Spanish mackerel weighing about twenty pounds.
Sea bass, big yellow croaker, knife fish, six-line fish, flathead fish, red shoe fish, etc. There were
also countless small fish and shrimps, crabs, sea cucumbers, oysters, etc.
It must be at least five or six hundred pounds.
Lin Wanxia was so happy that this trip to the sea was not in vain.
It was after nine in the morning when the boat returned to the shore.
Lei Yanjun was waiting at the dock, yawning.
The fishmongers who had looked down on Lin Wanxia at first gathered around when they saw the things on her boat.
It was near the sea, so the journey was not long. Lin Wanxia also had a real cold storage, so the seafood was still very fresh, and some of the fish that were not affected by the change in air pressure were still alive and kicking.
"Sister, your cargo is good! Name a price, and I'll take it all if it's suitable."
"Wang Laosan, don't you still have to wait for the Chen family's ship? Don't try to snatch this cargo from me. Sister, let's talk about you selling it to me."
"..."
"I'm telling you, you have no chance! This cargo is mine!" Lei Yanjun pointed his thumb upside down at the tip of his nose, and said it with great confidence. He even asked Lin Wanxia for approval, "Right? Xia Xia?"
