Chapter 215: Black Pearl
Yun Jiao boarded the boat, and Yun Xiaowu and a few others gathered around the manta ray, full of surprise.
It’s really huge; looking at it, it seems to have a lot of meat.
“Such a large manta ray, only you could find it.”
Wrapping Yun Jiao in a towel, they then worked together to get Gui Yi onto the boat.
“Aiyo, Gui Yi is getting heavier and heavier!”
“So many sea urchins, Gui Yi, you’ve worked hard. I’ll open a few for you as a reward.”
Have to say, at this moment, the Yun family and Yun Jiao were on the same wavelength, the first thing they thought of was rewarding Gui Yi.
Although these sea urchins were originally brought back by Gui Yi.
“Wait, Dad, we’re not going to look for orcas anymore, because I’ve thought of a more suitable fish for the baby manta ray.”
That whale shark!
Yun Jiao patted her little head; how could she forget about the whale shark?
The orca’s feeding method is very different from the baby manta ray’s because orcas have sharp teeth and are good at hunting with a rather rough tearing method, but whale sharks and manta rays eat similar food.
And they both have big mouths.
However, she still had to ask the orcas to recognize the fish, lest one day when the orcas bring her a gift, they bring the corpse of a baby manta ray because they don’t recognize it.
Wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?
So, Yun Jiao still called the orcas by singing.
As long as the orcas were not hunting, they would definitely respond to her.
This time, the response was very quick.
The orca pod swam over in a mighty procession, looking as if they were going to a gang fight.
The title of ocean wanderer is not just for show.
The baby manta ray was frightened.
Yun Jiao glanced at her father and older brothers, decisively dropped the towel on her body, and jumped back into the sea.
Comfortable!
“Yun Jiao!”
The people on the boat rolled their eyes impatiently; why was this little girl so quick!
Yun Jiao decisively pretended to be dumb to the people on the boat and then took the baby manta ray to make friends.
The orcas surrounded her and the baby manta ray, all of them talking a lot.
‘Human, why are you bringing food?’
‘This food is small; we’ll take you to find a bigger one.’
‘Human, did you miss us?’
‘Live with us; the ocean is good; don’t live with those people.’
The orcas were secretly implementing their plan to abduct the child.
Yun Jiao directly ignored their words: “This is my new little brother; get acquainted, and please spare him next time you meet.”
She took the baby manta ray around among the orcas.
After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The baby manta ray, only a day old, didn’t know that orcas were natural enemies. With Yun Jiao there, the baby manta ray went from being afraid at the beginning to curious, and now it could dart around among the orca pod.
Because Yun Jiao brought it and clearly stated its identity, the orcas’ attitude towards it was quite good.
Although it was food, for the ocean wanderers, there was plenty of food in the sea; they weren’t lacking this one.
After getting acquainted, Yun Jiao bid farewell to the orcas and took the baby manta ray to find the whale shark.
Because they hadn’t seen each other for a while, finding the whale shark took them quite some time.
But fortunately, the whale shark still recognized Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao played with the baby manta ray in the sea for a while, caught some food to feed it, and then revealed her true intentions.
“Big fish, could you help me look after my cub?”
The whale shark looked at her with one of its eyes.
No way, its eyes were on the sides, and its head was too wide. Yun Jiao was too close, so it could only see with one eye.
‘Cub?’
Yun Jiao pulled the baby manta ray over: “That’s right, look, it’s so small and easy to raise; it eats the same as you.”
“You two look alike too.”
The little person closed her eyes and exaggerated.
Although the process was a bit complicated, Yun Jiao finally succeeded in leaving the baby manta ray with the whale shark.
She also acted as a matchmaker for the whale shark and the orcas, so that when they met in the future, they wouldn’t necessarily greet each other friendly, but at least they wouldn’t attack them.
Lying on the whale shark’s back, Yun Jiao played with the baby manta ray.
Her father’s boat followed behind.
After taking the whale shark to meet the orcas again, it was already very late when they returned home.
Yun Chenbei took many satisfactory photos.
The first thing they did after returning home was to force Yun Jiao to drink a bowl of ginger soup.
Whether she would catch a cold was another matter; the ginger soup had to be drunk.
Yun Jiao: Disgusted, disgusted, disgusted!
“Jiaojiao, that manta ray was sold.”
Yun Linhe handed her the money: “Although that manta ray was big, the price given was quite low, sold at sixty cents per jin, and several bosses bought it together.”
Selling that manta ray was like selling pork; it had to be cut up, and one boss couldn’t eat it all.
The manta ray weighed over 1,600 jin, selling for a total of 990 yuan, of which 100 yuan was given to Awang as a referral fee.
The remaining money was 890 yuan.
Grandpa Yun took out another sum of money.
“This money is from the sea cucumbers Yun Jiao dug today; we kept half a jin of the over four jin total, and Awang bought it at three yuan per jin, selling for exactly 10 yuan.”
Added together, it was exactly nine hundred.
This money was all given to Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao took out three yuan: “For Yun Sui, he helped dig.”
Grandpa Yun smiled: “I was thinking the same thing.”
For the remaining money, Yun Jiao gave Auntie and Mom ten yuan each, Grandma ten yuan, and kept ten yuan in change, planning to give her older brothers pocket money when Mom and the others were not around. The rest of the money was to be kept by Grandma for her.
Wang Mei: “Why are you giving this money to me? It’s usually the elders who give New Year’s money to the juniors, but now you, a child, are giving pocket money to us elders.”
Yun Jiao generously waved her little hand: “Dad, Uncle, this is for selling fish, as hard work compensation.”
Grandma Yun couldn’t help but laugh heartily: “Our family has produced a little God of Wealth.”
It’s not just a little God of Wealth; the little fellow is very generous with money.
“Little God of Wealth, do you have pocket money for the brothers?”
Yun Xiaowu asked with a sly grin.
Yun Jiao immediately opened her small money pouch: “Yes, for the brothers’ pocket money for school tomorrow, Jiaojiao will give it.”
One yuan each.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaowu, who got a yuan in pocket money just by asking, his eyes immediately lit up.
He hugged Yun Jiao tightly and kissed her.
“Sister, you are too awesome!”
Yun Xiaoliu and the others were also happy, hugging Yun Jiao and kissing her one by one.
Yun Jiao disliked them leaving saliva on her face when they kissed her, and she ran away.
But her older brothers were still chasing her!
After playing, Yun Jiao hugged the gifts the orcas had brought her and called out to Fourth Brother.
“Fourth Brother, is my shelf ready yet?”
Yun Chenbei: “It’s being painted and is drying. What’s wrong?”
Yun Jiao raised her little hands with a blue gemstone: “This is a gift from the orcas; a beautiful gemstone!”
The whole family looked over.
“What? This is a gemstone?”
Grandpa Yun had naturally discovered this stone when he was selling sea cucumbers.
However, he had only thought of it as a prettier stone.
Yun Jiao nodded: “It is a gemstone.”
“Goodness, such a large gemstone; those orcas are too generous.”
“But all the gemstones I know are sparkly, why isn’t this one shining?”
Yun Jiao: “It needs to be polished.”
In her previous life, she also had many beautiful gemstones; some gemstones were dull, but when polished with merfolk scales and nails, they were particularly beautiful.
