Chapter 833: Chapter 796: The Harvest of Sea Fishing

After the little blue whale swam away for a while, they seemed to communicate, then the big blue whale came over, but there weren’t many barnacles parasitizing it.

Lin Wanwan easily leaned over the ship’s edge to help it remove them.

Judging by the barnacle marks on the two blue whales, the big blue whale must frequently go to the poles to search for food, as barnacles cannot survive in extreme cold.

With so many barnacles scraped off the small whales on deck, Lin Mengyi had already started preparing the roasting tools.

Although barnacles are delicious, fishermen actually don’t like them because they don’t preserve well.

Not only in the Great Tang a thousand years ago, even in modern society, they are rarely seen away from the coast.

After Lin Wanwan helped the big blue whale remove barnacles, she began to fish.

The two blue whales were quite considerate; after receiving human help, they reciprocated by driving the fish shoal to Lin’s boat.

Then they gave a shout and swam away joyfully.

While Lin Wanwan fished, Lin Mengbo and others impatiently cast their nets and caught fish, it was like picking up money.

Lin Wanwan’s catches were also substantial, almost catching a fish every few seconds, and since she used larger live shrimp bait, the fish she caught were big, which made her so happy she couldn’t stop smiling.

The biggest fish she caught was a nearly one-meter-long skipjack, also known as bomb fish, or small tuna.

Skipjack is one of the most exported fish in modern Huaxia, often pretending to be tuna to sell canned.

Besides making cans, this fish is also good for making sashimi. It is rich in DNA and EPA, which can effectively promote human nervous system development and improve vision.

It also resists aging, lowers cholesterol, prevents cardiovascular diseases, and breast cancer.

In short, it has extremely high nutritional value.

A high-quality, pure natural, unpolluted bomb fish of this size would fetch at least over a hundred yuan per pound in modern times. The bigger the skipjack, the higher the unit price.

"Wan Lady, I’ve killed and bled this fish for you." Seeing Lin Wanwan casually put the fish she caught in the bucket on deck, Lin Mengbo put down his work and came to help.

"Hey, why kill them?" Lin Wanwan thought live fish would be fresher.

"If this fish isn’t bled immediately after leaving the water, it won’t taste good and won’t sell well; it will have a fishy smell that the wealthy dislike."

"Oh, so there’s such a saying, then thanks, brother." Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Mengjin, who was busy killing the yellow croaker from the net, and finally understood why.

These high-quality deep-sea fish must be bled immediately after being brought up, this way, they can remove acidity and discard gills and viscera that easily produce bacteria, ensuring good meat quality and fetching a good price.

This sea trip indeed increased Lin Wanwan’s knowledge greatly.

When the ship docks, she immediately takes the high-quality fish she caught to sell to Jie Yuting, which surely will bring some liveliness to his usually stern face.

Thinking about the expression he might make, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but chuckle.

When she goes to eat, her favorite thing is teasing the owner. Boss Jie is really amusing, a bit naturally dazed.

"Lady, would you like to return to the cabin to rest for a while? Look, your nose tip is all red from the cold." After fishing on deck for so long, the cold wind blew for quite a while, even someone skilled like Liu Rushi started to sniffle.

Lin Wanwan naturally had already started "sniffling", but she was so happy fishing that she didn’t feel the cold.

But now, being reminded by Liu Rushi, she realized she was almost frozen.

"Alright, let’s go inside to warm up a bit." Lin Wanwan put down her fishing rod, "Brothers, I’ll leave this to you."

"Mm, Wan Lady, you should quickly go into the cabin to rest."

She saw Baye Feng sitting cross-legged meditating as soon as she entered the cabin.

"How are you? Feeling any better?"

"Mm." Baye Feng replied coldly, not even opening his eyes.

This youngster had already vomited several times from seasickness; the fish at the window were well-fed by him. Yet he appeared calm, without a hint of suffering, showing remarkable endurance.

Lin Wanwan expressed admiration! No wonder Tang Seng’s disciple from the Western Regions favored him, his calm demeanor alone was impressive.

Lin Wanwan had seen many seasick people.

When Yongcheng and Yingzhou didn’t have a bridge connecting them, every visit to grandma’s in Yingzhou required taking a boat.

Those seasick usually looked either very distressed or lethargic, rarely as composed as Baye Feng, with nothing but an unusually pale face. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Those unfamiliar with Baye Feng might have thought he was simply meditating at the moment to train his endurance.

"Why don’t I give you a massage?" Lin Wanwan was quite good at acupuncture in traditional medicine since she learned from Zhen Quan’s disciple, but she wasn’t proficient at massage.

Master Liang and Old Sun didn’t teach her much about massage, believing one should not bite off more than one can chew, suggesting she first thoroughly learn observation, hearing, questioning, and physical examination.

Once one masters diagnosis, then discuss other skills.

So she only had basic knowledge of massage, learning a bit by watching her senior brothers perform massages on children and the elderly.

Her senior brother Kang Hongjing was very adept at massage and was a personal massage physician to some big figures in Hai City.

Kang Hongjing wasn’t stingy about teaching her, evidently treating this same-school junior sister better than his master’s students, who were often just trainees and not necessarily disciples. There’s a big difference between a student and a disciple.

Although Lin Wanwan had excellent learning conditions, she didn’t have the time to delve into it.

Seeing Baye Feng uncomfortable now reminded her to give it a try.

Baye Feng didn’t hesitate; hearing this from Lin Wanwan, he immediately agreed with an "oh".

Lin Wanwan then began massaging him, and it was effective; Baye Feng’s forehead visibly sweat under the naked eye, and his complexion recovered significantly, gaining a touch of color.

He opened his eyes, his pale gaze fixed on Lin Wanwan, and thanked her.

He had grown quite trusting of this Village Lady he was supposed to serve for ten years, after such time spent together, otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed her near, much like a fierce dog only exposes its belly to its owner.

"Naba misses you a lot. After docking this time, you can take Naba to the base to spend a few days; after all, it’s already winter break."

"Not convenient." Baye Feng simply replied.

Though the mountain base had many rooms, it was nonetheless a military area, making it inconvenient for a little girl to visit.

Lin Wanwan was merely making a casual suggestion; since the other party didn’t want to, she naturally let it be.

Naba had strong learning ability, though she joined as a transfer student midway, her grades were already at the top of the class.

Whether it was practicing writing or memorizing books, she was quite skilled, her memory seemingly naturally stronger than ordinary people.

These siblings certainly had remarkable genes; they would undoubtedly be top students in modern times.

Unlike little Qingyu, she was a lazy little figure, a total slacker. Thanks to Cui Ying, their tutor nanny, only then did she barely have an attitude towards studying.
