Chapter 141: The Sensation Caused By Bluefin Tuna
All attention was stolen.
“Were those that swam past just now really orcas?”
“Why would orcas help Yun Linhai push their boat?”
“Could they have run into danger? How could an orca possibly help someone push a boat.”
“No… didn’t you all see? Yun Jiao was sitting on the back of one of the orcas behind!”
Curious, so curious.
At this moment, no one was paying attention to Yun Dafu and his iron boat; his face was ashen.
They wanted to figure out what was going on, but unfortunately, Yun Linhai’s boat was already nearing the dock.
Yun Jiao gauged the depth of the seawater and had the orcas stop.
Even when they stopped, the wooden boat continued to surge forward for some distance due to inertia.
The three people on the boat were utterly dizzy.
They leaned over the side of the boat and threw up.
It’s hilarious, fishermen who live by the sea and often go fishing are still getting seasick.
But at that speed, with that much bumpy motion.
The orcas were genuinely just having fun themselves; the boat was fast, but the people on it were suffering.
Fortunately, thankfully, the boat didn’t capsize.
It was truly exciting, too.
“My goodness, I’ve never been on a boat this exciting in my life.”
The orcas happily called out in the sea area not far away.
‘Humans, come play again, play again.’
This was much more fun than spinning around with sea turtles on their backs.
Especially the louder the people on the boat shouted, the happier they became.
Yun Jiao tapped their heads: “Don’t bump into other people’s boats without my permission from now on.”
She was afraid that if they had too much fun, they might bump into other boats next time, which would terrify so many people.
The orcas felt wronged, why couldn’t they?
Yun Jiao: “I’ll bring you balls next time we go to sea, but you’re not allowed to bump into other people’s boats.”
‘Wuwuwu~ We know~’
Yun Linhai and the others recovered and called for Yun Jiao to come over.
Yun Jiao: I won’t.
They had thrown up in that part of the sea.
Yun Jiao decided to take a longer route back.
“I’m going back that way.”
Yun Jiao stood on the orca’s back and shouted to Yun Linhai and the others in the distance, pointing.
Yun Linhai and the others glanced at the place where they had just vomited, their expressions awkward.
“Alright, hurry back yourself.”
Their boat reached the dock, and Yun Jiao was almost there too.
“Quickly go borrow some ice from Awang, and borrow a tractor from the Village Chief too.”
Since this tuna was going to be sent to Dayun Restaurant to be sold, they naturally had to sell it themselves.
Yun Wang revealing this news to them clearly indicated this intention.
They were grateful to Yun Wang, and it also improved the relationship between their two families.
While waiting for Awang to arrive, Yun Linhai discovered the grouper Yun Jiao had placed in the wooden bucket in the ship’s cabin.
However, after such a bumpy ride, the bucket had already tipped over, and the fish inside had naturally fallen out.
Fortunately, there was seawater in the cabin, and the grouper had been jostled to the point of being half-dead.
“Why is there also a grouper!”
Yun Jiao raised her little arm: “I caught it.”
Yun Linhai: “…I know you caught it, but why didn’t you tell us?”
Besides Jiaojiao, no one else could have caught this grouper.
Yun Jiao: “Forgot.”
Yun Linhai picked up the grouper. The fish was basically completely dead.
It had been through a lot, being caught by Yun Jiao, then taken along to catch tuna, and then experiencing the violent turbulence of the boat due to speeding.
Lin He and Awang arrived soon, carrying boxes filled with ice, practically running.
Yun Wang’s eyes lit up: “Where is it? Where is the bluefin tuna?”
Due to excitement, Yun Wang’s voice became a bit louder.
This caused people near Yun Linhai’s boat at the dock to hear him.
Bluefin tuna.
These words seemed to have some kind of magic; those people instantly looked towards them and gathered around.
“What? There’s bluefin tuna, is it true?”
“Let me see, where is it?”
“Where is the bluefin tuna?”
Yun Linhai and the others painstakingly lifted the bluefin tuna out of the boat.
The surrounding crowd that had gathered to watch was instantly in an uproar.
“Good heavens, it’s really a bluefin tuna, and such a big one!”
“That must be over a hundred jin.”
“Absolutely, I’d say it’s over two hundred jin.”
Some fishmongers, hearing the news, pushed their way over.
“I want this bluefin tuna, sell it to me, I’ll definitely give you a good price.”
“Sell it to me, I’ll offer six yuan per jin.”
“I’ll offer six yuan and five jiao.”
The surrounding fishermen’s eyes turned red.
Out of jealousy.
Six yuan and five jiao, just this one fish would sell for over a thousand yuan, that was truly a huge sum.
Why wasn’t this fish caught by their families?
“No sale, no sale, we’re sending this fish to Dayun Restaurant. If the price you offer is more than Dayun Restaurant’s, then we’ll sell.”
At this, no one spoke.
The fishmongers weren’t fools either; they naturally knew about the news from Dayun Restaurant and had thought Yun Linhai and the others also wanted to sell it there.
There are many types of tuna; if it were other tuna, they wouldn’t be able to get such a high price, only around three or four yuan per jin.
But bluefin tuna is the nobility among tuna, with a much higher price.
The prices the fishmongers offered, six yuan, six yuan and five jiao, were actually quite conservative.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the tuna was placed into the box filled with ice.
“And this too.”
Yun Linhai quickly took the grouper and put it in as well.
“It just died, and it’s still fresh.”
Yun Wang gasped: “Brother, this is your sea transport.”
He gave a thumbs up.
He had been buying fish for several years, and he had never seen anyone with better sea transport than Yun Linhai’s family.
How long had it been since they bought the boat, and the rare seafood they brought out was more than that of those who operated iron boats.
Yun Linhai chuckled foolishly and said nothing.
They were tacitly in agreement, none of them mentioning that these were caught by Yun Jiao.
Sometimes, being too famous isn’t a good thing.
“There are still some silver pomfrets in the boat; Awang, you can take these.”
Yun Wang’s eyes immediately lit up.
While they were busy, Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei, who were tide pooling, received the news and also came over with their sons.
They also sent the faster Yun Xiaowu to their home to call Grandpa Yun and the others.
Due to the news of the bluefin tuna, more and more people were surrounding Yun Linhai’s fishing boat, all wanting to see it.
No one in their village had ever caught a tuna before.
They had only heard that ocean-going ships caught large tuna.
When Shen Yunlian and the others arrived, their small wooden boat was surrounded by three layers of people, and those around them spoke to them with envy.
“Yunlian, your Linhai caught a tuna, a bluefin tuna at that.”
“Wang Mei, your family is going to get rich now.”
The two women were overjoyed.
“Make way, let us go take a look.”
Yun Liuliu and the others squeezed through between the adults’ legs.
“Dad, Jiaojiao, Eldest Brother…”
The few boys rushed over and asked excitedly.
“Where’s the fish, where’s the big fish?”
Yun Linhai pointed to the box, and they gathered around, all exclaiming in awe.
“What a big fish!”
“Dad, you guys are so amazing.”
“Make way, make way, let me in, let me see the fish my dad and them caught.”
Yun Xiaowu arrived with Grandpa Yun and the others, squeezing through while shouting loudly.
