Chapter 221: Orcas Celebrate Jiaojiao’s Birthday
The fish maw of the yellow-lipped fish is a nourishing treasure. The longer this thing is processed and dried, the more expensive it becomes, and like ambergris, it’s sold by the gram.
“Such a large yellow-lipped fish, how big must the fish maw inside be.”
Yellow-lipped fish maw is rare, and it wasn’t even necessary for Awang to find the boss; some people present were already very interested.
For example, Old Master Xu, and Sun Yaotong, who was not lacking money.
When Yun Jiao returned after changing her clothes, Old Master Xu immediately pulled his young disciple over: “Jiaojiao, sell the fish maw of this golden thread croaker to your master.”
Sun Yaotong was anxious and squeezed in, saying, “Old Master Xu, you can’t do this. I also want to buy this fish maw. I have two elderly people at home. They are pathetic; years ago, they overexerted themselves due to some issues. This fish maw is perfect for nourishing them.”
Old Master Xu: “Young man, how can you resort to emotional appeals? No, no, I’ve also been eyeing this fish maw with desire.”
Such a large golden thread croaker would surely have a substantial fish maw inside.
Yun Jiao listened to their argument, completely bewildered.
“I’ll just catch another fish like this.”
The two people looked at Yun Jiao simultaneously.
Yun Jiao was quite confident: “Master, if you want it, I can definitely catch it.”
Shen Yunlian: “No, no, Jiaojiao, you can’t go into the sea today.”
Yun Jiao pouted and said, “Then you guys can have it later. I can definitely catch one bigger than this fish.”
Sun Yaotong and Old Master Xu exchanged a look, and then Old Master Xu took a step back.
“If that’s the case, then this yellow-lipped fish will be sold to your godfather.”
Yun Jiao nodded.
At this moment, the old person brought by Old Mu also stepped forward.
“If there are any extras, please be sure to contact me.”
He had also really wanted to compete for this yellow-lipped fish, but one of those two was Yun Jiao’s master and the other her godfather, so he knew as an outsider he definitely couldn’t compete.
Saying this was just an attempt to add one more voice, and if nothing came of it, then so be it, but what if it did happen?
Of course, the probability of that was still very small.
The sea is vast, but it is very difficult to catch a yellow-lipped fish weighing over a hundred pounds.
Yun Jiao nodded: “No problem!”
The yellow-lipped fish will be set aside first, and payment will be settled after the fish maw is removed upon returning.
“It’s Jiaojiao’s birthday today, how does it feel like the whole sea is celebrating her birthday.”
After all, they were all fishing, and only the first few large yellow croakers were valuable; the fish caught afterward were very ordinary or very small.
Only Yun Jiao caught several times the number of fish as others, not to mention the bomb fish, and now the yellow-lipped fish.
It felt like someone was chasing and delivering all the good fish to her hook.
“Hehehe… I have good luck.”
Yun Jiao’s beautiful face showed an expression of pride.
“Still fishing?”
It made them all want to try their hand.
Yun Jiao shook her head: “No more fishing, the fishing rod is broken.”
She was lying on the side of the boat eating fruit prepared by her godmother when she suddenly saw a black dot leap out of the water and fall back in the distance.
It looked a bit familiar, so she looked again to be sure.
“Something seems to be coming over there.”
“What else could it be besides sea fish? But that size looks a bit large.”
Not a bit large, extremely large!
“It’s an orca!”
“Not just orcas, it looks like an even bigger fish is following behind the orcas.”
As the orca pod got closer and closer, seeing such large fish for the first time, Sun Yaoqin screamed directly.
“Dad, what a big fish! What kind of fish is that!”
This was her first time playing at sea with her family, and she didn’t expect it to be so exciting and full of surprises.
“It’s an orca, and the one behind seems to be a whale shark?!”
His grandfather’s generation also lived by the sea. As people aged, they loved to reminisce and increasingly missed their hometown.
Therefore, Sun Yaotong grew up almost entirely listening to his grandfather’s stories about the seaside.
Because of this, although he was a businessman, he also had some research into marine fish.
Logically, orcas and whale sharks, these two marine creatures, should not be together.
Yun Jiao raised her arm and waved towards the orca pod.
“Why did they come here?”
This sea area was not where orcas and whale sharks usually roamed.
Wang Yun reacted: “Jiaojiao, could this be the group of orcas you know?”
She had seen the photos her nephew took, which included Yun Jiao riding an orca at sea.
Wang Yi was most excited: “Definitely!”
He kept taking pictures with his camera, clicking away.
Meeting them again, hahaha, he was too lucky. This time he could show off to his classmates again.
Yun Chenbei didn’t speak, but his hands were also busy.
Soon, Yun Jiao understood why the orcas and whale sharks had come.
It turned out that Gui Yi had told them it was her birthday today.
‘Humans, what is a birthday? That sea turtle said it’s very important to humans.’
‘Do you want gifts? We brought you gifts.’
‘Human, come quickly to receive the gifts and play together.’
‘What is a birthday? What is it?’
To be honest, Yun Jiao was truly surprised.
Because she knew how afraid Gui Yi was of the orca pod; it would always flee whenever orcas approached.
She didn’t expect that today, it would actively seek out the orca pod!
And all for her birthday.
Yun Jiao was even a little moved.
“What did you bring?”
The deck of the yacht was quite high above the sea surface, so Yun Jiao could only call down.
The orca pod and the whale shark, along with the baby manta rays behind it, were circling the yacht.
Sometimes, when they brushed against it, the entire yacht would shake.
“Don’t come too close.”
But the orcas really wanted to get close to Yun Jiao, and they even used the buoyancy of the seawater and their own control to stand up on a part of their tails.
When they stood up, they were as tall as the boat.
Such large bodies created quite a sense of pressure for the people on the boat.
Except for Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao touched the orca’s smooth skin with her hand.
The orca let out two calls, then quickly sank back down.
“Dad, do we have any small fish?”
She could feed the orcas.
“Yes!”
When they netted the large yellow croakers, they inevitably netted other small fish as well.
Those small mixed fish weren’t worth much, so they were perfect for feeding the orcas.
Yun Linhai and the others quickly brought over two buckets of small mixed fish.
The orcas were lining up, taking turns standing upright and leaping to the height of the yacht to nuzzle Yun Jiao.
The people watching were dumbfounded.
Sun Yaotong murmured, “This trip out, I’ve truly broadened my horizons.”
The person driving the boat, and Old Mu and the others all nodded in agreement.
They were truly so stunned by the scene that they didn’t know what to say.
“Disciple, you film this for me, your filming isn’t good.”
Old Mu snatched the camera from Yun Chenbei’s hand and excitedly took pictures of Yun Jiao and the orcas.
Good heavens, at his age, this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.
Old Mu’s friend beside him patted him on the shoulder: “Remember to give me a copy when the photos are developed.”
This scene was absolutely worth commemorating.
